Transition out of Warfeld Gym proceeds smoothly
I recently received this Ask the Captain
comment about the nine-month renovation of the
Wareld Gym at Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme:
I read many times in the Ask the Captain
section disappointments. I would rather say con-
gratulations and thank you to all the people who
have made the base gym renovation project and
transition so spectacular.
We all get quite comfortable with things
remaining similar. Any major change can get us
knocked off our feet. Being a regular gym rat, I
was concerned about the gym transition.
You all have exceeded my expectations im-
mensely! The Bee-Fit gym is wonderfully trans-
formed. It is bright, well-spaced (lots of space,
it seems to go on and on) and easy to use. The
staff still remains bright and cheerful. Well done,
everyone!
There is one challenge for you now. You have
raised the bar on our expectations. Im wildly
awaiting the new gym, but more than satised
with the current conguration.
I agree: Congratulations go out to the Morale,
Welfare and Recreation (MWR) team, Public
Works, and every other department that has made
the transition out of the Wareld Gym exception-
ally smooth.
And I still remain condent that no one will be
disappointed with the end result. w

Working together to take electronic war-
fare to new heights and into uncharted
waters all while budgets are being cut
was the key topic at the 42nd Annual
Electronic Warfare Symposiumthat began
Jan. 24 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential
Library in Simi Valley.
For three days, nearly 400 leaders in
electronic warfare shared information and
delved into the most critical issue facing
military, government and industry: doing
more with less.
Its going to take teamwork, talent and
imagination to do that, said Vice Adm.
David Architzel, commander, Naval Air
Systems Command and one of the key-
note speakers.
We need the future now,he said. We
need to deliver products faster and more
affordably.
Gone are the stovepipe platforms,
products that cant be adapted for multiple
uses. Instead, seamless networkingis the
key to the future.
Affordability, adaptability and capabil-
itywill be guiding the future of electron-
ic warfare, he said.
The symposiumwas sponsored by AOC,
formerly known as the Association of Old
Crows, a name derived from code words
for electronic warfare used during World
War II.
The event included two days of discus-
sions and tours at Naval Base Ventura
County, Point Mugu, for those with secu-
rity clearance.
Several speakers on Jan. 24 invoked the
namesake of the building in which that
days presentations and evenings reception
were held.
Architzel spoke of Reagans boldness
and confidence.
Rear Adm. Mat Winter, commander,
Naval Air Warfare Center-Weapons Divi-
sion and assistant commander for Test and
Evaluation, Naval Air Systems Command,
said the symposium couldnt have been
held in a better place.
You are surrounded by history, he
said, pointing out that the Air Force One
on display is the actual one that landed
several times at Point Mugu with Reagan
on board.

More than 500 people searching for
new employment opportunities attended
the Feb. 2 Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Job Fair, the first to be held at
Dukes Place at NBVC Port Hueneme.
Previous job fairs have been held in the
lobby and classrooms at the Fleet and
Family Support Center, NBVCPort Hue-
neme.
Dukes is a really good location, said
Corey Kendrick, a work and family life
consultant at the Fleet and Family Sup-
port Center and one of the job fair orga-
nizers. Theres a lot more room and a
lot better flow, so everybody can move
around more easily. Parking is fantastic,
and with the location being right off 23rd
Avenue, its much more visible and more
easily accessible.
Employers agreed.
Weve always gotten one of the little
rooms off to the side, Tech Sgt. Jaime
Gomez of the Air National Guard said
of the FFSC location. People would
look in and see it was crowded and keep
going. This way, people can walk around
and see everyone whos here.
The 37 companies and organizations
attending the job fair, all of which indi-
cated they were currently hiring, ranged
from staffing agencies to law enforcement
to government contractors like Lockheed-
Martin.
Amgen was there, along with the Dairy
Farms of America, whose table was
stacked with fliers reading, Seeking
highly skilled maintenance mechanics.
Kendrick said another job fair is
planned for the summer; usually, the sec-
ond one of the year is held in the fall.
Were moving it up because there will
be an increased need due to the reduction
of Navy personnel, she said. We plan
to have that one here at Dukes as well.
Job Fair moves to Dukes, gets rave reviews

About 500 job-seekers and 37 companies and organizations looking to hire attended the
Feb. 2 job fair at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme. It was the first one held at
Dukes Place, rather than in the lobby of the Fleet and Family Support Center, and the new
location was well-received.

In this day of social media we have
friends all across the country that we
can communicate with at the stroke of
a key. Whether it is texting or typing, we
are connected as never before.
Can I ask you a question? Are you
lonely? Sometimes the very technology
that connects us can leave us lonely.
When you need a girl chat (or a guy chat)
do you reach for your iPhone to call
or do you text? Do you meet for cof-
fee or sit at the screen typing?
What is a friend? Merriam-Webster
defines a friend as, one attached to an-
other by affection or esteem, a favored
companion. Companion is defined as
one that accompanies another, one that
keeps company with another; one that
is closely connected with something
similar.
We need friends. We are created to
have that favored companion, to be
closely connected, to be affectionately
attached to others. And this differs from
the friends on Facebook and Twit-
ter.
How many people follow you on Twit-
ter? How many friends on Facebook?
Of those, how many will be there to
clean your house or sit with you when
youve had a bad day?
Did you know that friend or friend-
ship is in the top 1 percent of terms
looked up on Merriam-Websters site? I
think maybe many of us are trying to
figure out friendship in this new age of
technology.
Friendships, to be healthy and fulfill-
ing, need to be give and take. To have
that companion walk with you, you must
be willing to be that companion to walk
with another. This is true in marriage,
but also in friendship.
I hear from many women expressing
the challenge of friendship and loneli-
ness. Relocation can leave us separated
from strong, supportive relationships
and often when we need them most
during deployment.
I do not have five easy steps to attract
friends. What I do have is ideas and tips
to become a good friend.
Deb is my persistent friend. Deb de-
cided we were going to be friends
without my knowledge and/or consent.
Deb demonstrated characteristics of
friendship that drew me into her loving
circle of friends.
Patience: Deb was willing to wait for
me to respond to her overtures of friend-
ship. She did not expect me to respond
in a certain time frame. Good thing too
it took almost a year.
Acceptance: Deb knows we all have
warts. Deb chooses to overlook warts
to see the person behind the warts. I have
always felt accepted by Deb. She may
not always agree with me, but she always
accepts me as a person.
Consistent persistence: This is the
attribute that bothered me most about
Deb but that I most love and appre-
ciate now. Deb reached out to me con-
sistently with an e-mail and phone call
once a week for nine months before I
accepted an invitation to get together.
Wow!
Selfless: Deb didnt want to be my
friend to get something from me. She
befriended me to give, to share. She
looked for ways to be companions on
the same journey with me.
Forgiveness: Deb was quick to for-
give me when I was stupid. She was
equally quick to ask forgiveness when
she wronged me.
Building deep friendships takes time,
but with these characteristics we can
build friends that will enhance our lives
and we will add to theirs.
As a military spouse, I have seen the
road to friendship accelerated by the
very nature of our lifestyle. Dont be
discouraged. Work on becoming that
friend and watch what friends bloom in
your life.

Whether a student is new to Ventura
County or has been attending school here
for some time, its important for families
to know their options when choosing a
school.
School transfers
There are two types of school transfers:
intradistrict and interdistrict. Intradistrict
means that you request to go to a school
within your home district; interdistrict is
a request outside of your home district.
As space is available, these transfers may
or may not be approved. If approved,
transportation is the parents responsibil-
ity. Some districts begin the request pro-
cess early in the calendar year for the next
school year.
If a family is requesting an interdistrict
transfer, it must be approved by the school
district of residence who will be releas-
ing the student and the school district
accepting the student. Any family who
thinks they may want an interdistrict
transfer, the time is now to begin the pro-
cess for next year since it must go through
both school districts. For a family who
may be requesting an intradistrict transfer,
the priority deadline is typically in Febru-
ary or March.
If a school is placed in Program Im-
provement (PI) due to the inability to meet
Adequate Yearly Progress, a student can
request a transfer to another in the school
district not in PI, as space permits. In this
situation, transportation is the responsibil-
ity of the school district. Districts do have
deadlines for the request. A letter is typi-
cally sent home notifying the family of
this option at the end of summer or the
beginning of the school year.
Charter schools and magnet schools
A charter school is a public school that
operates independently of the school dis-
trict structure. Each charter school has its
own registration process and registration
period. Often the registration period is the
beginning of the calendar year for the fol-
lowing school year. Transportation is the
responsibility of the parent.
A magnet school operates within a
school district; however, it tends to have
a focus area (technology, science, etc.)
while still fulfilling all California state
standards. Often, enrollment is based on
a lottery; again, that process takes place
early in the calendar year.
Private schools
Although cost and transportation are
the responsibility of the parent, private
schools may offer benefits that some pub-
lic schools are not able to provide, such as
religious education, alternative schedules,
specialized instruction or before- and af-
ter-school care. There are many questions
parents should ask when choosing a pri-
vate school concerning teacher credential-
ing, school accreditation and average class
size. Private schools are not accountable
to the Department of Education to report
on student progress.
Home school
This is an option for parents who choose
to take the responsibility of educating
their child. Often, costs are the responsibil-
ity of the parent; however, there are many
resources available for families interested
in homeschooling, including support
groups or virtualschools to provide sup-
port and curriculum.
Some local school districts and charter
schools have added a home study compo-
nent. This allows the student to do their
work primarily in their home under their
parents supervision. However, there is
typically a weekly check-in with a teacher.
Curriculum and books are provided by
the school.
For any questions regarding education
options in Ventura County, please contact the
NBVC school liaison officer at 989-5211 or

An elderly man sat in his easy chair care-
fully cradling a book. Magazines and
newspapers lay on the table in front of
him.
My books are like friends to me, he
said. I share so many memories with the
old ones, and I enjoy learning from the
newones. And there is always so much to
learn!
This froma man for whomlearning had
been a constant practice for the better part
of a century.
Some feel they have outgrown their
chance to learn. You cant teach an old
dog new tricks, goes the saying, but that
seems not to be true. Many older people
are still reaping a rich harvest of knowl-
edge. Lifelong learning is no longer a
luxury for just a few of us but something
that all can pursue.
To consume a good book, to digest a
report of current events, to savor the words
of great thinkers past and present is to
feed the soul and nourish the heart. We
are never too old for such a feast.
And learning is found not just in books.
People and places are great sources of new
information and experience. We can ask
questions and enjoy discussions with
friends and family members, learning from
their points of view. We can visit a local
museum to hear the story of a historic
landmark or inquire at a public library
about any topic we choose. Or we can
visit the Internet, where a world of infor-

Formal education may be designed for
the young, but the young at heart can en-
joy a lifetime of learning. And when we
leave this life, though our earthly goods
will be left behind, the knowledge we have
gained will be ours forever.
Dont ever underestimate the power of lifelong learning

ACCLOGWING
By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse editor
Thirteen volunteers from Naval Base
Ventura County showed up at the City of
Venturas Leo Robbins Community Sail-
ing Center on Friday, Feb. 3, to help clean
boats and clear sand from wheelchair
ramps during a community relations event
organized by Religious Ministries.
Its good to do volunteer work, and it
is a pretty day, said Air Traffic Control-
ler 2nd Class Rudy Gomez, back on the
mainland from San Nicolas Island.
Indeed, there was a lot of wind, but
there was also plenty of sunshine and
warm temperatures.
Barry Carrillo, an irrigation mainte-
nance worker for the city, helped get part
of the group started on clearing sand that
was blocking wheelchair access to a chil-
drens play area.
People cant get through on their scoot-
ers, he said, This is a big help.
Another group helped clean boats that
are used in sailing classes.
We have a large bird population that
likes us a lot,said Nancy King, the small
boat sailing instructor who put the other
half of the group to work. We need to
clean about once a week or its disas-
trous.
Naval Aircrewman Mechanical 2nd
Class Kevin Allan of Air Test and Evalu-
ation Squadron 30 (VX-30) recently came
to NBVCfromWashington state and was
volunteering here for the first time.
Spending half a day with the boats at
the harbor, I could do this every weekend,
he said.
That would be just fine with King. Shes
already planning some future projects.
Our benches are about five years old,
and with the conditions out here the
water and the salt in the air theyre get-
ting splinters,she said. If the Navy could
build some benches for us, that would be
awesome!

Considering buying a newcar? Do your
homework before stepping onto the deal-
er lot to avoid getting scammed. Here are
some tips from the Navy-Marine Corps
Relief Society to keep in mind before you
sign a contract:
Before you look at that first car, check
your credit report and credit score. If you
have a low score, improve it before apply-
ing for a loan.
Find your own financing. Visit your
local credit union or bank and apply for
a car loan before you shop for your next
vehicle.
Have a type of vehicle in mind? Check
price information at www.edmunds.com
before negotiating the price of a new car.
If youre buying a used car, check its val-
ue at www.kbb.com.
Dont tell the dealer how much you
want to spend each month on a car. Con-
centrate on negotiating a fair price rather
than a monthly payment.
Negotiate your trade-in and the cost
of the new car separately. Beware of any
contract that hides the price of your new
car and the price of your trade-in.
Before buying a used car, get an inde-
pendent vehicle inspection of the car you
wish to purchase. Reputable dealers will
allow you to take a used car to your me-
chanic to look at before purchasing.
To check whether the vehicle has been
in an accident or been damaged in a flood,
use www.vehiclehistory.gov. Other sites
may not be reliable.
Test drive and examine the vehicle be-
fore purchasing.
Educate yourself on the most common
tricks dealers use to defraud customers
and pad their pockets:
Yo-yo financing: You sign a contract
and drive your car home. The dealer calls
later to say that your financing was denied.
When you return, the interest rate is much
higher or you owe more for a down pay-
ment. Protect yourself by making sure the
contract you sign doesnt have any con-
ditional clauses.
Loan packing: Dont allow the deal-
er to convince you to buy add-ons such
as theft-etching, rust proofing, upholstery
protection, GAP insurance, extended ser-
vice contracts or lifetime oil changes.
These often add thousands of dollars to
the cost of your car.
If you think youve been a victim of
fraud by a dealer, contact the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) to file a com-
plaint. The FTC can be contacted at:
www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov or 1-877-
FTC-HELP.
Before buying that new car, visit
NMCRS to put together a spending plan
to see how much your new car will cost
you. Call 982-4409 for an appointment.

and their families develop spending plans?

FFSC financial educator
Here is your question of the day:
Are you doing what is needed to ensure
that your financial future is headed in the
right direction?
Its a question we should all be asking
ourselves, and during this uncertain econ-
omy, it is imperative to answer as hon-
estly as we can.
The sad truth for most of us is that we
have not taken the necessary steps to en-
sure our long-term financial well-being.
Dont you think its time to make some
changes with your finances?
Truth be told, one of the greatest threats
to overall mission readiness is consistent-
ly making bad decisions with our per-
sonal finances. The Navy has recognized
that this is an extremely disconcerting is-
sue and is instituting measures to enhance
personal financial management.
The implementation of the Military
Saves Campaign is one of those measures.
The Department of Defense has desig-
nated Feb. 19-26 as Military Saves
Week.
While the Military Saves Campaign is
a yearlong effort, Military Saves Week is
the kickoff to helping Sailors and families
build wealth and reduce debt while plan-
ning for retirement.
The Military Saves Campaign is a social
marketing effort to persuade, motivate and
encourage military families to save money
and to convince leaders and organizations
to be aggressive in promoting automatic
savings. The campaign is a growing net-
work of organizations and individuals
committed to helping support military
members and their loved ones. Ultimate-
ly, the goal is to build personal savings,
which will provide for immediate and long-
term financial needs.
Its time to pay yourself first both
todays self as well as tomorrows self. The
theme for the 2012 campaign is Set a
Goal, Make a Plan, Save Automatical-
ly.
If you have any questions please contact
the financial counselor at the Port Huen-
eme Fleet and Family Support Center at
982-3640 or at the Point Mugu FFSC at
989-8844.

Reserve Component Command (RCC SW)
named Naval Operational Support Center
(NOSC) Port Hueneme the overall RCCSW
NOSC of the Year for calendar year
2011.
In addition, NOSC Port Hueneme was
named NOSC of the Year in the large
category and NOSCPoint Mugu was named
NOSC of the Year in the small catego-
ry.
Capt. Marco Cromartie, RCC SW com-
manding officer, presented the awards to the
NOSC commanding officers and senior en-
listed leaders on Jan. 12 during the RCCSW
Command Leadership Conference in San
Diego.
The entire NOSCteamwas honored and
humbled by the award, said Capt. Ronald
Oswald, NOSCPort Hueneme commanding
officer. We are just one of many NOSCs
working to fulfill the mission.
There are 20 NOSCs in the Southwest
Region that vie for this honor: seven large-
group NOSCs, described as supporting more
than 700 Reservists; six in the medium cat-
egory serving 251 to 699 Reservists; and
seven in the small group that manage up to
250 Reservists.
NOSC San Jose won for the medium
group.
Im very proud of the hard work and
dedication that our staff has put in to ensur-
ing that our SELRES (Selected Reserve)
Sailors are ready and prepared to mobilize,
said Cmdr. Rodney Woodward, NOSCPoint
Mugu commanding officer.
RCC SW judges the NOSCs in overall
mission readiness by looking at every depart-
ment: Command Leadership, Administra-
tion, Supply and Logistics, Training, Man-
power and Respay, and Medical.
One key preparation was that our first-
and second-class Sailors stepped forward to
take leadership roles in their departments.
Ownership of the mission by our petty of-
ficers was the key to maintaining quality
customer service to our selected reserve Sail-
ors, Oswald said.
(It is) how we manage all our 29 reserve
units to ensure they are mission ready,said
Command Master Chief Terry Delacruz of
NOSC Port Hueneme. He said that many
of Huenemes departmental programs are
used as examples for other NOSCs in the
region.
NOSC Point Mugu serves 11 Reserve
units.
The NOSCteamprepared by fully engag-
ing in each possible training event, coordina-
tion meeting and unit readiness stand down,
Oswald said. By ensuring communication
and coordination at every level, the team
became more effective in their depart-
ments.
Both commanding officers credit com-
munication and customer service at all lev-
els as essential factors to their success.
The NOSCs are located at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC).
As a tenant command, we get all the sup-
port needed from NBVC, said Delacruz.
NBVC ensures that facilities are made
available on reserve weekends to accommo-
date the Reservists. Everything from the
galley and berthing to the exchange and
workout facilities are open on the weekend,
and Reservists are encouraged to use the
other support offices such as the legal office
and family services as needed.
Capt. James McHugh and his staff have
always been very supportive of both NOSCs
onboard NBVC, Woodward said. Our
reserve units have some unique requirements,
and we get outstanding support from
NBVC.
The two NOSCs work together on many
programs and events, such as the annual
Family Readiness and Warrior Recognition
Day.
NOSC Port Hueneme and NOSC Point
Mugu work well together because the Sail-
ors seek common ground and common so-
lutions, Oswald said. We recognize the
great benefit of combining resources and
pooling efforts. There are great Sailors on
both staffs, and working together, we can
provide the best service to our Selected Re-
servists.

Aviation Structural Mechanic 1st Class
(AW) Youngsu Mun of Carrier Airborne
Command and Control Squadron 116
(VAW-116) has been recognized as the
2011 West Coast COMACCLOGWING
Sailor of the Year.
Competing with the top Sailors from
five squadrons in the E-2C Hawkeye and
the C-2A Greyhound community, Mun
was selected for his incredible dedication
to duty, superior performance and ability
to motivate his peers and subordinates.
With an 11-year aviation background
encompassing four different military air-
craft, he is an exceptional member of the
Sun King family.
Underway on his second deployment
with the Sun Kings, Mun, who received
the award on Dec. 5, has continuously
proven to be a critical piece of the squad-
rons success. He was recently selected to
join the Quality Assurance team, where
he directly monitors the major programs
and processes within the Maintenance
Department.
I enjoy the good things in life as they
come my way,said Mun. My family and
I have been very blessed during our time
in the Navy. Receiving this award is a true
testament to the commitment I share both
with them, and to them.
Born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1981,
Mun moved with his family to the United
States when he was only 11 years old. He
grew up in Honolulu and Denver. He is
working toward his degree in homeland
security, and he plans to continue his ca-
reer in the U.S. Navy.
He enjoys traveling with his wife and
three sons.
Exceptional Sailors such as AM1 Mun
are truly valuable to our command, said
Lt. Cmdr. Lawrence Nance, maintenance
officer for VAW-116. He has proven him-
self to be an outstanding and reliable
leader, time after time, both on and off
duty. His recognition as Sailor of the Year
is not only well earned, but well de-
served.
VAW-116 is scheduled to return to Na-
val Base Ventura County, Point Mugu,
from deployment sometime in 2012.

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Parwan Prov-
ince, Afghanistan Since their establish-
ment on March 5, 1942, Seabees have been
known to make history around the
world.
U.S. Navy Seabees were born in the dark
days following the attack on Pearl Harbor
when building victory seemed almost in-
surmountable. They were created to fulfill
a crucial demand for construction workers
who could fight.
With their Can Do spirit, Seabees
have made the impossible possible. Can
Dotook on a newmeaning in November
1972 when the Chief of Naval Operations,
Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr., announced
that female personnel would be granted
entry into all Navy ratings.
In 1994, the Department of Defenses
combat exclusion policy was revised and
women were permitted to be assigned to
mobile construction battalions.
Although its 18 years later, history is
still being made.
Eight women from U.S. Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 4, Detail 4, joined
together to form the first all-female con-
struction team. They answered the call and
excitedly accepted an assignment which
only few believed was achievable. They
were tasked with building two 20-by-32-
foot B-Huts at a coalition Special Opera-
tions operating base in Helmand Province,
Afghanistan.
At first, the concept of an all-female
construction team was a random thought
thrown around Det 4s Operations Depart-
ment, but it quickly turned into reality
when several female crewmembers werent
able to travel with their regular build teams
to sites with limited berthing arrange-
ments. Once the women heard about the
tasking, they eagerly applied pressure to
the ops chief, Chief Utilitiesman Mike
Saenz, to give them the chance at proving
themselves as highly skilled and capable
Seabees.
As a woman in the Seabees, it can
sometimes be stressful proving myself to
my male counterparts, and I find it excit-
ing to be able to prove myself at their
level or higher,said Builder 3rd Class Jes-
sica Vera.
Builder 3rd Class Gafayat Moradeyo
was tasked as mission commander for the
team. Typically Det 4 mission command-
ers are a pay grade or two more senior
than other members of the team; how-
ever, Moradeyo readily took on the chal-
lenge. She quickly gathered her team and
laid out what needed to be done prior to
their departure. In short order the team
planned and estimated the project, vali-
dated building materials, packed their
pallet of construction tools and were ready
to travel to Helmand Province.
The team departed Bagram Air Field
Nov. 12 and transited to the site where
their skills were needed. Traveling to re-
mote parts of Afghanistan can be difficult
at best. This mission was no different as
they traveled by air, tactical ground move-
ment, and by foot to reach their ultimate
destination.
Unlike most times Seabees show up to
a new location, this team was welcomed
with rolling eyes and comments on the
order of, Really, a group of girls? Mo-
radeyo quickly put any doubts to rest as
she met with the camp commander to
identify berthing areas, where he wanted
the B-Huts built, and camp rules. After
this initial meeting, attitudes changed a
bit as coalition Special Operations Forces
living at the site knew the Seabees were
there to help improve their quality of
life.
Because the site had only recently been
inhabited by coalition SOF as part of
Village Stability Operations, it lacked
basic amenities and was in dire need of
upgraded living facilities. Originally
tasked with constructing two B-Huts,
once on site they were asked to build four,
one for a tactical operations center, a
gym, and two berthing B-Huts.
Water for bathing was pulled up in
buckets from a shallow well, which was
freezing cold and it smelled horrible!
said Builder Constructionman Shelby
Lutrey.
Living conditions on the camp were
austere at best. As in similar build sites
everyone used WAG BAGs or toilets in
a bag and lived off beans and rice for
dinner.
Although this camp is not really de-
veloped, we already knew what we were
getting ourselves into, said Moradeyo.
As soon as the team hit the ground, they
began working diligently and completed
the four B-Huts in record breaking time
of just over two weeks a completion
time that their male counterparts have
yet to achieve.
Honestly, I was a little bit apprehen-
sive when I heard that there was going to
be an all-female team, said the quality
control petty officer, Utilitiesman 1st
Class Joshua Hullsiek, But I was com-
pletely amazed and impressed by how
efficiently and effortlessly they put the
four buildings together in just two
weeks.
The team is extremely proud to have
made history as the first all-female Seabee
construction team, but they are equally
as proud to be supporting the efforts to
stabilize Afghanistan.
Its been nothing but a great experi-
ence and honor to be a part of something
bigger than myself, said Moradeyo.

Lighthouse editor
The eight-lane bowling alley at Naval
Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, has
gotten a facelift, and soon the bowling
alleys at Port Hueneme and San Nicolas
Island will too.
At Mugu, scores are now shown on 42-
inch flat-screen monitors rather than the
old 27-inch big boxes, and more than 200
pairs of rental shoes are brand new.
The pinsetters are new, the decorative
masking unit above the lanes and the
bowling balls are new and bright, and the
tables and chairs are new.
The pins now glow in the dark, since
the pinsetter has a black light built in.
Were excited about it,said Jack Boy-
agian, who has managed the bowling lanes
at Port Hueneme since 1984 and Mugus
since 1998.
Hes especially pleased with the new
pinsetters because they have fewer moving
parts Thats what caused all the prob-
lems with the old ones, he said and
theyre much quieter.
Not only is the front-desk and scoring
equipment new, but the software is too.
It has a lot more graphics, a lot more
action, Boyagian said.
Much of the old equipment dated back
to the 1970s. The scoring system was an
early-1990s hand-me-down from San Di-
ego.
The minute we installed it, it was ob-
solete, Boyagian said. Then it became
really hard to get parts.
The front-desk systemis top of the line,
Boyagian said.
Its all networked to the scoring system
and the pinsetters, he said. Everything
can be done on a touch screen at the front
desk.
Theres also a new lane-cleaning and
conditioning machine.
The bowling alley at Mugu reopened
Feb. 1 after the two-month project was
completed.
We were only supposed to be closed
for three weeks, but the holidays created
a scheduling conflict, and we had some
problems getting parts, Boyagian ex-
plained.
When work begins at Hueneme, the
bowling alley is expected to be closed for
four to six weeks, although the bar will
remain open.
At Hueneme, the 40-year-old wood
lanes are being replaced with synthetic
lanes. In addition, a new bumper system
and scoring system is being installed, and
the gutters, ball returns, ball racks and
furniture are being replaced.
San Nicolas Island will finally get a scor-
ing system. There has never been one; all
scoring there has been done by hand.
Theyre really happy, Boyagian said.
In addition, the pinsetters, ball returns,
ball racks, masking units and furniture
will be replaced.
That project is expected to take two
weeks, but thats only an estimate, Boy-
agian said. Any renovations on San Nico-
las Island can be tricky because of the
transportation issues.
Much of the new equipment at Naval
Base Ventura County is coming from
Naval Air Station Brunswick in Maine,
which was disestablished last year, and
from Bolling Air Force Base near
Washington, D.C., which merged with
Naval Support Facility Anacostia to
become Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling
in 2010.
The Point Mugu bowling alley is
open Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. and Thursdays, Fridays and Sat-
urdays from 5 to 10:30 p.m.
Cost is $2.50 per game for adults and
$1.75 for anyone under 18, but there
are several specials.
On Wednesdays, active-duty personnel
bowl for free, and everyone else pays
$1.00.
On Saturdays, theres a family discount
of $2 for adults and $1.50 for youth as
long as both the adults and kids bowl.
Shoe rentals are $2 for adults and
$1.50 for kids. Shoe sizes range from a
child 6 to an adult 14.
Mugu also has a snack bar with mi-
crowavable sandwiches and hot dogs,
snacks, sodas and beer.
The facility can also be rented during
off-hours for parties of 10 or more.
For more information, call the Huen-
eme lanes at 982-2619.

Patrick Horton, customer service representative at the Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, bowling alley, tries out the new bowling
balls at the facility.
New 42-inch flat screens have replaced the old scoring monitors at the Point Mugu
lanes.
More than 200 new pairs of rental shoes
are now available at the Point Mugu lanes.
Sizes range from a child 6 to an adult 14. At
Hueneme, sizes go up to an adult 17.
Scoring system switches
to 42-inch flat-screens,
and shoes and balls are
new; work will begin
soon on lanes at SNI,

The Biggest Loser contest at Naval Base
Ventura County ended up with 29 partici-
pants, with Monday, Feb. 6, being the last
day to join.
On the first weigh-in Jan. 30, 17 people
who had signed up one week prior had al-
ready lost a total of 44 pounds. By Feb. 6,
the 29 participants had lost a total of 99
pounds.
We have had different levels of commit-
ment, said Ramona Pagel, manager of the
Bee-Fit Health and Wellness Center and
organizer of the event. Some are just get-
ting their feet wet after realizing that they
have dug quite a hole as far as weight gain.
These people are looking to make serious
lifestyle changes. Others are looking at
smaller losses and have at least an exercise
routine, just poor eating habits.
Pagel said each participants goal should
be a loss of one to two pounds a week.
However, she said, the intention is to
instill lifestyle changes in both exercise and
eating habits.
She said the whole idea of the program is
to make people more conscious of howmuch
they exercise or dont exercise and how
many calories they consume.
She pointed out that a brisk walk and the
elimination of snacks and fried foods can
result in 500 fewer calories being consumed
each day and after seven days, thats a
loss of one pound.
What is growing is the amount the winners
will take home. Each weigh-in costs $1.
Those who gain have to pay an additional
$1, plus $1 for each pound gained. Amissed
weigh-in is $2. All that money will go into
a pot to be split at the end of the contest.
The person who loses the highest percentage
of weight will take home 50 percent of the
pot. Second place gets 35 percent and third
place gets 15 percent.
Right now, Pagel said, it looks like the
winner will get at least $250.
The program includes eight nutrition
classes taught by Jaclyn Harhart, who
stepped in for Mary Farkas. Harhart grad-
uated from Marywood University in Penn-
sylvania with a degree in nutrition and di-
etetics. She has worked in several settings
managing nutritional needs and doing nu-
tritional assessments for a variety of indi-
viduals.
Topics will include the concept of satiety,
decoding the grocery store, kitchen staples
and diet fads and myths.
The nutrition classes are open to anyone
with base access for $8 each.
For more information, call Pagel at 982-
4726.

The Ventura County Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (VCC-MOAA)
recently renewed its sponsorship of Naval Base Ventura Countys Morale, Welfare and
Recreation (MWR) with a check for $1,000 to help pay for deployment kits and military-
spouse appreciation events. Shown here is a kit filled with recreational pastimes for
deploying military personnel, including board games, basketballs, soccer balls, decks of
playing cards, jump ropes and other items designed to make the days go faster during
deployment. Chapter President Lyndon Shaftoe presented the check Wednesday, Feb. 2,
to MWR Marketing Director Dan Alpern during the VCC-MOAAs monthly luncheon at the
Bard Mansion. In these days of shrinking budgets, every dollar of sponsorship makes
a positive impact on our troops and their families, Alpern said. Its especially nice to
see a group of veterans taking care of their next generation.

VAW-116
While the Sailors of Carrier Airborne
Command and Control Squadron 116
(VAW-116) have been underway on USS
AbrahamLincoln (CVN-72) since Decem-
ber, they have been in the minds of a won-
derful organization.
The Sons of the American Legion,
Squadron 283, officially adopted the Sun
Kings in December just prior to deploy-
ment.
The Sons, occupying District 24 in the
Pacific Palisades area of California, have
already made quite an impression on the
Southern California area, devoting them-
selves to community service and assistance
to military members and their families. In
the latter part of 2011 alone, the Sons
participated in the Adopt-a-Soldier Pla-
toon program, involving a unit deployed
to Afghanistan, and have raised more than
$1,000 for the Ride-2-Recovery program,
coming to the aid of wounded members
of the U.S. military.
Receiving the support of an outstand-
ing organization such as the Sons of the
American Legion is quite an honor, said
Cmdr. Paul Dale, executive officer of
VAW-116. Their aid to others is a trait
we as Sun Kings strive to personify.
Just prior to VAW-116s departure, the
Sons enjoyed a day at Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Point Mugu, experiencing
deployment preparation firsthand.
Aside froma tour of the E-2CHawkeye
and witnessing the attention to detail in-
volved in the Sun Kings mission briefs,
the Sons were able to stand side-by-side
with the squadrons landing signal officers
during a period of field carrier landing
practice.
With VAW-116 scheduled to return
to Point Mugu sometime in 2012, the
more than 140 members will be wel-
comed with open arms by not only
family and friends, but also The Sons
of the American Legion, Squadron
283.

A group of Seabees from Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3, sta-
tioned at Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme, left on Friday, Feb. 3, for a six-
month deployment to Europe and Afri-
ca.
The Seabees are relieving NMCB 5,
which deployed in August.
NMCB 3 will be forward deployed
throughout Africa and Europe to various
countries to work on specialized projects.
They include:
Placing a water line with the help of
local military engineers for the city of Za-
greb in Croatia.
Extending a runway for the govern-
ment of Kenya in Manda Bay. This is the
first time in history that the Seabees are
deploying with an asphalt batch plant so
they can make their own asphalt for the
project.
Building a school and a bathroom fa-
cility for the locals in Gende Gerade, Etho-
pia.
Drilling seven water wells for locals in
Dire Dawa, Ethopia, and surrounding
areas.
Building large health clinics and ma-
ternity wards in Ali Oune, Djibouti, and
Kontali, Djibouti.

Eleven Seabees fromNaval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 3 are heading
to Gende Gerade, Ethiopia, this month
as a part of the battalions six-month de-
ployment to Europe and Africa.
During the details deployment to Ethi-
opia, Seabees of all rates will pull togeth-
er to form a construction team that will
build a school and sanitation facility for
the city while also providing support to
the military camp where they will be liv-
ing.
These Seabees will relieve NMCB 5,
which has been deployed to Ethiopia since
August 2011.
The locals will have better facilities and
will be more comfortable to conduct their
business with these improved structures,
said Utilitiesman Constructionman Dav-
eedth Macias.
The Seabees are excited to have the op-
portunity to use their invaluable skills and
experience from previous training and
deployments to assist the local populace
in infrastructure improvement.

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion (NMCB) 3 Detail Moroc-
co finished preparations Jan. 30 for the
battalions deployment to Europe and Af-
rica.
The detail is currently tasked with build-
ing two large metal buildings called K-
Spans to be used during multilateral
military exercises.
The Seabees preparations consisted of
planning and estimating the projects to
include construction materials, tools,
equipment and manpower.
I find it fairly easy since I took the
planning and estimating class,said Build-
er 3rd Class (SCW) Romas Andri-
jauskus.
The planning includes calculations of
how long a construction activity will take
and the number of personnel, equipment
and materials required to complete the
tasks.
Its the most difficult part [the plan-
ning], but its the stepping stone that must
be done, said Construction Electrician
2nd Class (SCW) Roger Cook.
The two K-Span facilities, including a
sanitation facility, will be a great benefit
to Operation African Lion 2012, a joint
training exercise between the U.S. military
and the Moroccan military. This military
partnership will include training in medi-
cal treatment, firearms tactics, aviation
and more.

This deployment has afforded us the
opportunity to see our projects positively
affect the lives of not only service members
and dependents, but also the local popu-
lation in several countries on several con-
tinents in a positive way, said Cmdr. Pe-
ter J. Maculan, commanding officer of
NMCB 5.
The battalion deployed in August 2011,
with the main body operating out of Na-
val Station Rotas Camp Mitchell in Spain.
From there, detachments were deployed
to locations across Eastern Europe and
Africa, including Spain, Italy, Ukraine,
Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Djibouti,
Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and
Ghana.
Maintaining good ties with the Span-
ish nationals is paramount, but green de-
ployments like this are good for keeping
our in-rate skills sharp,said Construction
Electrician 3rd Class Anton Skerl.
This was his first deployment since join-
ing the Navy.
Seabees assigned to these locations
helped provide support to many military
installations and joint service exercises and
projects. Seabees constructed schools,
bridges and various buildings throughout
Africa and completed projects in Europe
ranging from Spanish bus stops, the con-
struction of roadways and building reno-
vations.
The Professionals executed 32 critical
construction missions totaling over 25,000
man-days throughout 18 locations in Eu-
rope and Africa in direct support of 6th
Fleet and Combined Joint Task Force
Horn of Africa, said Maculan. I am
extremely proud of all the hard work we
put in over the course of this deployment
and am constantly amazed by the level of
greatness achieved by our talented Sea-
bees.
Operational responsibilities on deploy-
ment are scheduled to be turned over from
NMCB 5 to NMCB 3 during a ceremony
Feb. 14 at Naval Station Rota.
NMCB 5 is currently scheduled for an
11-month homeport in Port Hueneme.
Personnel attached to the battalion will
begin military construction projects and
attend classes to increase battalion readi-
ness in March.
All training scheduled this homeport is
to hone the skills of NMCB 5s Seabees
and to prepare for a seven-month deploy-
ment to Pacific Command area of respon-
siblity (PACOM AOR) early next year.
Our overarching goal is to increase
mission and family readiness in order to
ensure we are prepared to successfully
execute all tasking during our deployment
to the PACOM AOR, said Maculan.

sha Jenkins of Air Test and Evalua-
tion Squadron 30 (VX-30) was named
the Naval Air Warfare Center-Weap-
ons Division Sailor of the Year dur-
ing a ceremony last month.
Jenkins is the sea range departmen-
tal leading petty officer and air inter-
cept control supervisor.
OS1 Jenkins goes above and be-
yond her primary duties, and what
she does on a day-to-day basis is re-
markable, said Chief Operations
Specialist (SW) Devin Lalande, VX-
30 range operations leading chief
petty officer. Im very demanding
of her, and I honestly dont knowhow
she does it all.
Jenkins, who received the award
Jan. 11, will now be considered for
the NAVAIR Sailor of the Year.
VX-30 is based at Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Point Mugu.

bouti U.S. Soldiers and Sail-
ors waved miniature American
flags as they welcomed Amer-
icas newest citizens into their
ranks during a naturalization
ceremony at Camp Lemonnier,
Djibouti, on Jan. 25.
U.S. Navy Utilitiesman 3rd
Class Kelan Scott and U.S.
Army Sgt. Joel Lara raised
their right hands and swore the
Oath of Allegiance to the Unit-
ed States in front of other U.S.
service members.
This was pretty cool, said
Scott, a utilitiesman with Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion
5, who emigrated to the United
States fromSt. Lucia, an island
country in the eastern Carib-
bean Sea. This was a once-in-
a-lifetime opportunity to be
naturalized here at Camp Lem-
onnier. It was very gracious of
the camp leadership to do
this.
Sonia Gulati, director of the
Homeland Security U.S. Citi-
zenship and Immigration Ser-
vices Nairobi Field Office, said
she has overseen these types of
ceremonies for three years, but
this was the first time she had
conducted one at Camp Lem-
onnier.
Truly this is one of the best
parts of my job clearing in-
dividuals for citizenship who
are so dedicated to America. I
always end up with tears in my
eyes, she said.
Both Lara and Scott said
they left their respective coun-
tries for a higher quality living
standard as well as education.
The two men made serving in
the military a top priority
when they arrived in the Unit-
ed States, and their service was
appreciated by many in atten-
dance at the ceremony.
U.S. Navy Constructionman
Aarron Emmons of Naval
Mobile Construction Battal-
ion 5, a friend of Scott, said
he thinks immigrants are an
asset to the military because
of their dedication to America.
They are willing to serve even
when they are not yet citizens,
he said.
Diversity is part of the U.S.
militarys strength, said U.S.
Navy Capt. Gerry Hutchinson,
Combined Joint Task Force -
Horn of Africa director of
religious affairs. To me its
great to have a military force
that is as diverse as the nation
it defends.
Having other service mem-
bers in attendance during the
ceremony was meaningful to
Lara, a native of Panama and
a sergeant in C Battery, 1st
Battalion 161st Field Artillery,
Kansas Army National
Guard.
It feels good, and I am
happy, he said with a smile.
The people here are my broth-
ers and sisters, and I am an
American with them now.

The Department of Defenses (DOD)
Lock Programis conducting tests in Feb-
ruary to improve the physical security of
explosives magazines used throughout the
Navy and other armed forces.
Engineers at the Naval Facilities Engi-
neering Service Center (NAVFAC ESC),
located at Naval Base Ventura County,
Port Hueneme, are performing a series of
intrusion tests using high threat level tool
sets against representative door test pan-
els.
The results are expected to improve
overall magazine performance and prevent
easy access by unauthorized individuals
or foreign entities.
The DOD Lock Program is managed
by NAVFAC ESC.
Physical security is a high priority for
all military commands, said Capt. Brant
D. Pickrell, commanding officer of NAV-
FAC ESC. That is especially true of ex-
plosives magazine safety and security.
Smart magazines offer great promise, and
their technology is constantly evolving.
Munitions must be securely stored at all
times, and the tests we are conducting at
Port Hueneme will enhance their security,
assisting our warfighters around the
globe.
Smart Magazine consists of a light-
weight door system, multipoint locking
system and standardized headwall sys-
tem. The door system utilizes airfield
concrete technology developed at NAV-
FAC ESC, is over five times more cost
effective than other proposed doors and
offers significant improvement in delay
time with respect to current magazine
doors.
The tests will employ a systematic ap-
proach to improving the security of door
panels currently in use. This phase, re-
ferred to as Initial Operational Test and
Evaluation, will continue throughout fis-
cal year 2012.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
(Editors note: Second of two parts on helping
children cope with military-related issues.)
Deployments impact each child differ-
ently, but most children will have some
sense of loss and go through a period of
adjustment.
Many studies have shown that children
become more resilient to hardship when
they have supportive relationships that
foster care and understanding.
Military Kids Club (MKC) was devel-
oped to offer caring support to the chil-
dren of military families by helping them
cope with the stress of being separated
from a parent. By using games and group
activities, MKC leaders help the children
realize theyre not alone in their experi-
ence. This helps teach themhowto express
and share their feelings with each other.
MKC also fosters greater support and
understanding from the schools teachers
and administrators by making themmore
aware of the stressors that can be associ-
ated with a military deployment.
Often, when MKC leaders arrive on
campus, they find the children are anx-
iously awaiting their arrival. They can
hardly wait to get inside the classroom
and begin telling us their stories. They love
to talk about the places theyve lived, the
things theyve done, and sometimes, the
people theyve left behind. They talk about
loving and missing a parent who is far
away, and they share about what they do
to try to stay connected. They draw pic-
tures, make treasure boxes for special
memories and act out little plays that ex-
press what they are feeling. Then, with
beaming faces, they gather up their proj-
ects that reflect the new tools theyve
learned and return to their classrooms.
The children tell us they love coming to
MKC. For that reason, the FFSC wants
to offer every military child that attends
one of our local elementary or middle
schools the opportunity to participate.
If you have any questions about MKC,
or want more information about when
MKC will be available in your childs
school, please contact the Fleet and Fam-
ily Support Center at 982-5037.

An elementary school program
that helps youngsters experience
what its like to have a disability
got some help recently from Na-
val Base Ventura County.
Four Sailors volunteered to
staff the stations at ParkviewEl-
ementary School near the base so
that students could find out what
it would be like to use a wheel-
chair if they couldnt walk and
do everyday tasks if they couldnt
see.
Kids are learning that they
have to try a little harder and put
in a little more effort, but that
they can do what they need to
do, said Culinary Specialist 3rd
Class AbramGoodloe. Theyre
learning that some people just
have to do things a little differ-
ently.
The programwas developed by
special education coordinators
for the Ventura County Superin-
tendent of Schools Office. This
particular event took place short-
ly before Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion 40 deployed, but
it is repeated at many schools
throughout the year.
Anything we can do to teach
children to be more aware of
what less-able kids go through is
important,said Dave Castellano,
the school psychologist at
Parkview Elementary.
This was the second time the
program has come to Parkview,
which opened its first special day
class for students with moderate
to severe disabilities two years
ago. The teacher, Amanda Glov-
er, is married to a Seabee in
NMCB 40 and has helped coor-
dinate several Navy-Parkview
collaborations.
Its important that children
understand special needs, said
Jamie Scholl, the mother of a
child with Down syndrome. Her
husband, Equipment Operator
3rd Class Nathan Scholl, is also
in NMCB 40. When they meet
my daughter, they wont react so
strongly if they understand what
she goes through.
Chief Builder Joe Bushre and
Chief Logistics Specialist Carlos
Lopez staffed the area where chil-
dren could steer wheelchairs
through an obstacle course and
use a walker to get down a
ramp.
One second-grader spied the
walker and called out, Hey, my
grandma has one of those!
Castellano said thats not un-
usual.
Nearly everyone has someone
in their life who has special needs
at some point, he said. Grand-
ma might use a wheelchair if she
breaks a leg, or someone in the
family might wear hearing aids.
Children need a better under-
standing of the challenges they
face.
Bushre said most people dont
get this opportunity.
Were teaching kids howto use
this stuff that most people dont
get to experience, he said.
Hopefully, it will get them to
empathize.
At times there was more than
one way to teach the lesson.
Goodloe and Culinary Special-
ist 2nd Class Jesus Fimbres
worked at a table where children
put on dark glasses so they
couldnt see, then had to organize
everyday items by trying to re-
member where they were on the
table.
One boy put on the glasses,
then faced Goodloe.
How do I look? he asked.
You look regular, Goodloe
replied.

services March 22, 23 and the morning of
March 24.
We want to get the word out now so
that people can plan ahead, said Robert
Huether, installation training officer. We
are urging people to stay away from the
base on those dates unless it is absolutely
necessary.
The annual force protection exercise is
called Citadel Shield/Solid Curtain. Cita-
del Shield is a regional exercise involving
all Navy installations in Southern Cali-
fornia and usually lasts the first part of
the week. Solid Curtain lasts the second
half of the week and involves all Navy
installations worldwide.
The base will go to elevated levels of
security during the week, culminating with
two and a half days of some gate closures,
100 percent identification checks and ran-
dom vehicle inspections.
Every year during this exercise, we ex-
perience some backup at the gates, and
we are trying to minimize that this year,
Huether said.
Last year, irritated drivers complained
of waiting up to two hours to get through
the gates at NBVC Port Hueneme. The
backup at the Victoria Avenue gate and
the Las Posas gate backed up traffic on
nearby streets, clogging neighborhoods.
Huether said the base is considering a
mitigation strategy to reduce the num-
ber of people trying to get on base a
strategy called MEP, or Mission-Essential
Personnel.
Only people essential to completing the
mission whether its getting planes in
the air or ships at sea would come to
work,he explained. All support activities
would close.
The commissary, Navy Exchange,
Fleet and Family Support Center, the
Flightline and Subway restaurants and
Morale, Welfare and Recreation facili-
ties, including the gyms, would shut
down.
Child care facilities would be open on
a limited basis to care for the children
of mission-essential personnel.
Huether said regardless of whether the
base implements this strategy, people
should avoid NBVC March 22-24.
Unless its absolutely necessary for
you to come on base, dont, he said.
Exercise will mean some closed gates, more searches March 18-24

NAVFAC ESC
The Naval Facilities Engineer-
ing Service Center (NAVFAC
ESC) announced the 2012 Mili-
tary and Civilian Engineers of the
Year on Feb. 1.
The command selected Lt.
Cmdr. WilliamWindus and Josh-
ua Henson.
The awards are recognition of
the military and civilian engineers
who have done an exceptional
job in their field and in support
of NAVFAC and the fleet, said
Capt. Brant D. Pickrell, NAV-
FAC ESC commanding officer.
Lt. Cmdr. Windus and Joshua
Henson have distinguished them-
selves by their hard work and
dedication over the last year.
Their special talents and skills
have raised the bar for their col-
leagues and co-workers.
In his role as the ESCs opera-
tions officer, Windus is in charge
of coordinating more than $400
million of construction opera-
tions worldwide. He deftly incor-
porated safety, project efficiencies
and leadership into everyday con-
struction operations.
Windus also expeditiously re-
solved numerous high-profile
project execution issues, including
emergency repairs to Norfolk
Degaussing Range and the May-
port Magnetic Silencing Facili-
ties.
He led a NAVFAC, Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA), and
U.S. Naval Supply Systems Com-
mand (NAVSUP) energy teamin
the execution of $180 million in
Petroleum, Oil and Lubrication
(POL) funds, reinvigorating the
programby assisting stakeholders
in the development of vital proj-
ect requirements.
Lt. Cmdr. Windus developed
innovative ways to improve our
products and services,said Pick-
rell, including the use of enter-
prise software systems that pro-
videdreal time project information
and helped eliminate unnecessary
data calls.
Joshua Henson, an ocean en-
gineer for NAVFACESCs Ocean
Facilities Department, led a gov-
ernment and industry team that
developed, built, installed and
demonstrated an innovative un-
derwater distributed network
(UDN). Henson directed the
team through all phases of the
project, including concept genesis,
requirements development, engi-
neering, development and testing
of the network nodes, test results
evaluation, prototype production,
and system installation at the
Navy-owned South Florida
Ocean Measurement Facility.
This effort was the culmination
of a four-year, $8 million research
and development project to de-
velop a standardized network
approach for undersea cable sys-
tems. As a direct result of Hen-
sons superb engineering knowl-
edge, judgment, communication
skills and contingency planning,
the project was completed on
schedule and within budget.
UDNs have the potential to
save the Navy millions of dollars
by modularizing undersea cable
systems and easily allowing only
portions of a cable system to be
removed and replaced for main-
tenance or repair, said Pickrell.
It also allows for additional
cable systems to be added to ex-
isting undersea cables by simply
plugging into the network.
Hensons work eliminated the
need to install entirely new un-
derwater cable systems, poten-
tially saving millions of taxpayer
dollars and improving fleet reli-
ability for these vital cable sys-
tems, some of which are critical
to national security.

That was his segue to discussing the fu-
ture, what he calledthe challenges andop-
portunities to providing solutions to the
warfighter and understanding what chal-
lenges he will face in the future.
It will require a true collaboration, he
said.
You are the ones who will be bringing
the solutions to the table, he said. This is
the collective group. No one else is doing
this. There is no fallback.
Winter said todays challenges arent in-
surmountable, andhe usedhistory toprove
it.
In the early 1970s, he said, we were
transitioningout of awar. We were reducing
our economic footprint. It sounds like 2012,
doesnt it?
The issues were facingnow, he said, arent
new. But the individuals and the solutions
they come up with will be.
This is an exciting time,he said. If we
have a positive attitude, if we lead our peo-
ple andwe manage our staff, well have new
opportunities to solve our challenges.

Goodwills Boots to Suits Veteran
Programis giving unemployed veterans
a $50 voucher toward clothing and ac-
cessories to help them prepare for em-
ployment.
When veterans register for job assis-
tance at the Goodwill Workforce office
in Oxnard, they will receive a voucher
for clothing at a participating Goodwill
store from Feb. 15 through Feb. 17.
Goodwill is proud to respond to the
increased need for veteran support as
thousands of troops return to Southern
California from their military service
overseas. They are also encouraging
everyone to help support the program
by donating newor used business attire
to their local Goodwill.
As veterans move from military ser-
vice to civilian roles, they face several
unique challenges which currently in-
clude a strained economy and massive
unemployment rates. Goodwill is hop-
ing to alleviate some of the stress by
offering this program, but most impor-
tantly, show gratitude for their service
to our country.
Goodwill Workforce staff will offer
one-on-one career counseling, employ-
ment preparation courses, educational
and technical skills classes, and access
to partner services such as mental
health, substance abuse counseling,
Veterans Benefits Assistance and
more.
All services are aimed at helping vet-
erans find meaningful employment.
Interested parties in Ventura Coun-
ty may call 981-0130 or visit the cor-
porate office located at 130 Lombard
Street in Oxnard for more information
or to enroll in programs.
