Question: What are the guidelines and policies forselling a vehicle aboard base?Answer: If you are an active duty or retired military

member in possession of a military ID card, you maysell your vehicle aboard Naval Base Ventura County byusing personal vehicle sales lots.There are two personal vehicle sales lots aboard

NBVC: one between the Navy Exchange Autoport andcomplex at Point Mugu and another next to the gas sta-tion at Port Hueneme. The Chief Petty Officers Associa-tions (CPOAs) control these areas, as set out in NBVCInstruction 5800.1B, and vehicles must first be clearedthrough the appropriate CPOA before being placed inone of the sales lots.At Point Mugu, report to the billeting office in Bldg.

23 between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday throughFriday to fill out the appropriate registration forms. AtPort Hueneme, report to the Naval Construction Train-ing Center’s CPOA representative, whom you can reachat 982-3635. You must provide your current registra-tion, proof of insurance and military ID to register yourvehicle.

The CPOA representative will review your request,and if approved, you will be directed to park your car inone of the lots with a Buyer Information Form signed bythe CPOA prominently displayed. Your registration willhave an expiration date, after which your car may betowed. You can re-register the vehicle once, leaving it ondisplay for up to 60 days total.This process takes a little time, but it helps us to

ensure that every vehicle on display is legally registeredand that sellers are the legal owners of the vehicles inquestion. It also helps us cut down on resellers targetingour Sailors by placing their merchandise for sale aboardNBVC.If you would like to see a copy of NBVC Instruction

5800.1B, contact your Installation Program Director orcommand administrative staff for a copy.Please continue to submit your questions and sugges-

tions through one of our many feedback options. Followus on Facebook at www.facebook.com/NavalBaseVentu-raCounty, submit your suggestions to my online Com-manding Officer’s Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.mil/Ventura/ or send an email to lighthouse@navy.mil.

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)took part in the 29th Annual NationalNight Out Tuesday, Aug. 7, by hostingmilitary working dog demonstrations anddisplays by crime-fighting organizations atNBVC Port Hueneme.Force Protection, Federal Fire and the

Naval Criminal Investigative Service set upbooths alongside the track at the Bee-HiveGym, as did the Naval Branch HealthClinic, the Coast Guard, Fleet & FamilySupport Center, LincolnMilitaryHousingand other family, safety and support pro-grams.The event began at 4 p.m. with Capt.

David Sasek, chief staff officer of the base,climbing 75 feet up the ladder of a fire truckto unfurl the American flag.Sasek’s 8-year-old son,DJ,watched from

the ground and said afterwards that hewas

proud of his Dad.“He used to be afraid of heights,” DJ

explained.Told later what his son had said, Sasek

smiled.“Don’t tell him, but I still am,” he said.Demonstrations followed. Force Protec-

tion sent two officers in full protective gearand let youngsters swing away so they couldlearn how to best defend themselves.Themilitaryworkingdogs put on a show,

and visitors checked out a DUI simulator,often with shocking results.EdBrickman,whosewife is SeniorChief

Career Counselor Fawn Brickman of Na-valMobileConstructionBattalion 3, foundhimself driving on the wrong side of theroad 17 percent of the time he was behindthe wheel, even though the simulator stat-ed his blood alcohol level was still belowthe legal limit.“I’m very surprised,” he said.

Martin Sizemore, NBVC’s police chief,said the base is a relatively safe place butthat education about law enforcementnever hurts.“Since there’s no tremendous crime ele-

ment here, we’re able to make this eventmore family- and kid-oriented,” he said.Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding of-

ficer of the base, echoed that.“This is a safe community, but that re-

quires a lot of effort from a lot of people,”he said. “It’s good for military families tocome out to see the many partnerships wehave that make that happen.”Sizemore saidmost of the crimes he sees

on base are crimes of opportunity.“People leave stuff out, and someone

comes by and runs across something thatisn’t secure — so it grows legs,” he said.National Night Out is held on the first

Tuesday of August to increase awarenessabout anti-crime efforts.

JohnW.Korka, who commanded

both NFELC and 31st SRG, relinquishedcommand of NFELC toCapt. Brant Pick-rell and 31st SRG to Capt. Dean Tufts.The dual change of command is historicas Korka is the last in a line of officerswho have commanded both NFELC andthe 31st SRG since 2003.Prior to Oct. 6, 2000, the officers before

Korka commanded Construction Battal-ion Center (CBC) Port Hueneme. Thefunctions of CBC and its responsibilityof equipping and training Seabees wouldeventually lead to the standup of the 31stSRG. Twelve years ago, CBC was pulledunder the umbrella of the commander atPoint Mugu, and both installations wererenamedNaval Base Ventura County. Thebase is now commanded by Capt. LarryVasquez, who attended the ceremony.

The change of command took place onthe Seabee Parade Field that featured

more than 400 Seabees, a display of Seabeeconstruction equipment and vehicles andthe Navy Region Southwest Band fromSan Diego.Commander, Naval Facilities Engineer-

ing Command (NAVFAC) and Chief ofCivil Engineers Rear Adm. ChristopherMossey presented Korka with the Legionof Merit for leading NFELC and 31stSRG in outfitting, training andmobilizingSeabees and other expeditionary forces

into the 21st century.Korka also served as the 30th Naval

Construction Regiment commanding of-ficer for eight months, giving him respon-sibility of Seabee operations throughoutthe Pacific theater. Korka assumed com-mand of both NFELC and 31st SRG inJune 2010.Mossey andRear Adm.MarkHandley,

commander, First Naval ConstructionDivision (1NCD) presided over the cere-

mony. Handley is the immediate superiorin command of 31st SRG.“Momentarily, I will pass the flag to two

great captains,”saidKorka, who ismovingto Norfolk, Va., where he will take overas commander of Naval Facilities Engi-neering CommandMid-Atlantic. “To themen andwomen of bothNFELCand 31stSRG … I stand before you to simply saythank you. It has been my honor to beyour commodore. New leaders, you areall in very good hands.”Tufts, who reports here fromNaval Fa-

cilities Engineering Command Far East,quipped that his son made him promiseto keep his speech under a minute. In ad-dressing the Seabees and civilian person-nel of his command for the first time, hesaid: “I feel honored and humble, butmostly proud. I hope to earn your trustand respect in the weeks and years tocome.”Pickrell, who also commands the NAV-

FAC Engineering Service Center at PortHueneme, wanted to keep his commentsshort due to the dual changes of commandand said, “Men and women, I am deeplyhumbled to be your commanding officer.I promise to give you my full energy.”Seabees fromNFELC, 31st SRG,Naval

Mobile Construction Battalions 4, 5 and40 and Underwater Construction Team 2participated in the ceremony.

A rousing performance by the Channel IslandsHigh School drumline, cheerleaders and dancerskicked off a back-to-school fair Friday, Aug. 17,at the Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) PortHueneme Navy Exchange.With some schools starting classes the week

of Aug. 20, the back-to-school fair was designedto get kids motivated and parents prepared forthat first day back, said Anna Esguerra, generalmanager of the NEX.“Just about anyone on base that provides ser-

vices for kids is here today,” she said, lookingover displays representing the Fleet & FamilySupport Center (FFSC), the school liaison of-ficer, the Bee-Fit Health and Wellness Center,police and fire prevention and other organiza-tions.The Port Hueneme Police Department put on

a K-9 demonstration that morning.

Throughout the fair, which ran from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m., theNEXOptical Department gave freevision exams to youngsters, and there was freepopcorn for all who stopped by.This is the second year the NEX has put on a

back-to-school fair, and this onewas several timeslarger than last year’s.“We’ll definitely do it again,” Esguerra said.Monica James, the school liaison officer for

NBVC, said many of the parents who stoppedby had questions about school supplies.“I always suggest that they wait until the first

day to find out what they’re being asked to bring,”she said. “The teachers will let them know.”James had a wealth of information at her table,

including contact numbers and websites forschools and districts all around Ventura Countywhere military families might be sending theirchildren. For more information, call her at 989-5211 or email monica.james@navy.mil.Lynette Copp was staffing the FFSC table,

where she gave away free pens and pencils andpassed out information aboutMilitaryKidsClub,parenting classes, emergency preparedness andthe Navy’s Exceptional Family Member Pro-gram.“Events like this help military families find out

what’s available to them,” she said.

So there I was, traveling downHighway1 on a friend’s motorcycle. It was a brightand clear morning. The air was cool andcrisp, the view of the mountains on oneside and the ocean on the other could nothave been more beautiful.The twists and turns that winding road

offers were enjoyed to the max, as therewas little to no traffic. A colleague wasriding not far behind. It was one of thoserare moments when nothing seemed to beout of place, where there was nothing tonot enjoy— one of those moments whereyou think to yourself, “I love my life.”While enjoying my ride on Randy’s mo-

torcycle, a thought came to mind that Ihave gone back to again and again, onethat I believe is worth reflecting on.Here is the thing. I am a new rider only

because my friend Randy decided to letme use his motorcycle for two monthsbefore my PCS move to Japan. Now thisguy has a BMW 1100r, which is quite anice motorcycle.Why should he let me useit? Why should he let a beginner learn onhis motorcycle?

When I expressed to him how gratefulI was, and that I was having an absoluteblast riding his motorcycle, he respondedby saying, “I am really glad to see it isbringing you so much happiness.” Andwhen he said it, I could tell he genuinelymeant it.Randy is a bit older than me and has

arrived at a place in his life where he doesnot hold onto his possessions tightly, andhe is genuinely happy to have them usedto someone else’s benefit. BothRandy and

his wife are this way, and it is absolutelyrefreshing to be around, precisely becauseit is so rare.The Bible has a word for this approach

to life. It is called grace. It is the idea thateven if someone has not earned or doesnot deserve our goodwill and kindness,that we be willing to extend it to themanyway, that we show them grace. Whenwe do this, we bless them— that is, we letthem experience a little bit of God throughus.I have not earned, nor do I deserve,

Randy’s kindness, and yet each day I climbon a nice BMWmotorcycle and ride it towork — and lots of other places too. Iknow from previous discussions withRandy that he and his wife take this ap-proach to life because they feel it is theapproach that God has taken with them,and having experienced this from God,they enjoy passing this on to others.My encouragement to you is the re-

minder that others can experience a littlebit of God through you too. All you haveto do is show them some grace.

Showing some grace lets others experience God’s will

Rear Adm. Donald Quinn, commander ofthe Naval Education and Training Command(NETC), recently visited subordinate com-mands at Naval Base Ventura County, PortHueneme: the Engineering Duty Officer(EDO) School, the Center for Seabees andFacilities Engineering (CSFE) and the NavalConstruction Training Center (NCTC).Quinn met with staff members of all three

organizations before taking a walking tourof the training facilities at NCTC.He advised the NCTC staff: “The biggest

challenge for the armed forces is going to behow to maintain readiness while in garrison.I want you to consider the impact this isgoing to have on training.”Cmdr. Scott Loeschke, commanding of-

ficer of CSFE, escorted the admiral on atour of the construction mechanic, builderand steelworker training facilities at NCTCas course directors described the trainingprocess and equipment.Although the tour was not hands-on,

Quinn said that if he’d had more time, he’dlike to have driven some of the trucks.“We appreciate the fact that Rear Adm.

Quinn took the time out of his busy sched-ule to visit CSFE,” said David Lu, the cen-ter’s executive director. “He had the oppor-tunity to personally meet and interact withour staff and observe … training at ourConstruction Mechanic ‘A’ School.”The CSFE serves as headquarters for five

subordinate learning sites that are respon-sible for providing technical and profes-sional training for Civil Engineer Corps(CEC) officers and Seabees. Seabees trainjointly with the Army and Air Force during“A” School for builders, construction electri-cians, construction mechanics, engineeringaides, equipment operators and utilitiesmenin accordance with an Interservice TrainingRequirements Organization (ITRO) agree-ment. NCTC Port Hueneme hosts the AirForce for construction mechanic training.In reflecting upon the admiral’s visit, Lu

said, “His visit reinforces the importanceof Navy training and the collaborative ef-forts between NETC and learning cen-ters.”For more information on the Center for

Seabees and Facilities Engineering, visit theCSFE website at https://www.netc.navy.mil/centers/csfe/.

Lt. Steve Lamoure of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 113 tells a crowdabout the E-2C Hawkeye at the Wings Over Camarillo air show Saturday, Aug. 18.

By Andrea HowryLighthouse

An E-2C Hawkeye from Naval BaseVentura County, Point Mugu, drew acrowd at the Wings Over Camarillo airshow the weekend of Aug. 18, with a cu-rious public wondering if it was a spyplane — or if it was any kind of plane atall.“Some people ask if it’s a helicopter,”

said Lt. Matt Marshall of Carrier Air-borne Early Warning Squadron (VAW)113, who helped get the Hawkeye to theshow.Marshall and other members of VAW-

113, the “Black Eagles,” spent severalhours Saturday telling those who stoppedby what the aircraft is used for, how itworks and that, yes, it is still in use to-day.“A lot of people aren’t familiar with this

aircraft,”Marshall explained. “We’re not

the Blue Angels or the F/18s— they knowwhat those do.With the Hawkeye, peopledon’t know if it’s current or historical.”To those who ask, Marshall explains

that early-warning aircraft “extend theeyeballs of the carrier.”“Basically, we can see the enemy quick-

er than the carrier can,” he tells visitors.Among those stopping by Saturday

morning was James Wrenn of NewburyPark. He was a jet mechanic in the Navyfor six years beginning in 1972.“These planes were just coming on line,”

he said, marveling at what they look liketoday.LarryMilbrett, also of Newbury Park,

appreciated the chance to see one up close.Every once in awhile, he said, he spotsthem flying out of Point Mugu.“That fan on the front end is pretty im-

pressive,”he said, eyeing themassive blackpropeller.

Sailors fromNavyOperational SupportCenters (NOSC) Port Hueneme and PointMuguand their familieswere honoredAug.4 during Warrior Recognition Day andDeployment Readiness Training (DRT) atNaval Base Ventura County (NBVC) PortHueneme.Sailors who have returned from deploy-

ment over the previous 12 months werehonored.Capt.RonOswald,NOSCPortHueneme

commanding officer, welcomed the Sailorsand their families, as did several guestspeakers, including Rear Adm. Russell S.Penniman,Reservedeputy commander andchief of staff for U.S. Pacific Fleet, andCapt. Larry Vasquez, commanding officerof NBVC.“Warrior Recognition Day provides an

opportunity for us to recognize our return-ing warriors for their commitment, theirfamilies for their support and understand-ing, and both for their sacrifices on behalfof our great nation,” Penniman said.Sailors, spouses and families were called

to the stage and individually thanked by

the distinguished guests, including com-mand staff and nine local veterans frompast military conflicts, including WorldWar II, Korea and Vietnam.“It was a pleasure meeting those who

paved theway for us in previouswars,”saidBuilder 1st Class Jeffrey Deering of Con-structionBattalionMaintenanceUnit 303,Det. Port Hueneme. “It remindedme thatmine isn’t the only generationwho has hadto deploy and make sacrifices.”According to the senior leadership of

theNOSCs,manyReservists don’t live nearNavy bases and don’t have the built-in sup-port that families living on base have.“These events are tremendously impor-

tant as a tool to get information directlyfrom service providers to Sailors and theirfamilies,”saidCmdr.RodWoodward, com-manding officer of NOSC Point Mugu.“Many of our families are not aware ofthe resources that are available to help themhandle the rigors of the deployment pro-cess and the stresses of military life.”This daylong event, while offering Sail-

ors and their families recognition and rec-reation, also helps educate and preparethem for future operational require-

ments.“One of the single most important roles

of the Navy Operational Support Center

is to ensure that our Sailors and Familiesare fully ready for deployment,” Oswaldsaid.

Seventeen companiesthat sell safety-relatedequipment — from insu-lated hiking boots to pro-tective eyewear — showedtheir latest gear Tuesday,Aug. 14, during a daylongsafety fair put on by NavalBase Ventura County’sPublic Works Depart-ment.More than 200 people

wandered through displaysof hearing protection,tools, first-aid kits and haz-ardous-materials suits setup in the Public Workscomplex near Ronald Rea-gan Boulevard and LagunaRoad at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) PointMugu.This is the fair’s second

year. New this year weretraining classes in such top-ics as fall protection, arcflash protection, first-aidawareness and hearing con-servation.“Safety equipment is

constantly evolving,” saidDan Jaquez, the site safetymanager for the NBVCPublic Works Departmentand the fair organizer. “Thekey is balance, to have gearthat offers protection butdoesn’t inhibit the work-flow.”Tools, he said, are a per-

fect example.“People wonder why

tools are part of a safetyfair,” he said. “But they’reconstantly undergoing er-gonomic changes. Theyneed to fit the hand so thewrist stays neutral, and vi-bration needs to be reducedor isolated. Manufacturersare producing better tools

continually. This safety fairallows our supervisors andemployees an opportunityto identify tools to maketheir work safe.”Jaquez said personal

safety is critical: Employeesneed to keep an eye out fordangerous situations andstop unsafe acts before ac-cidents happen.Master Sgt. Michael Ste-

vens of the Security ForcesSquadron at the 146th AirWing of the Air NationalGuard was among thosewho stopped by the fair.“As the logistics supply

person, I have to buy thegoods,”he said as he lookedover the latest in hikingboots. “When it comes toboots, we’re always lookingfor something different.Weput in a lot of miles in ourboots, so I figured I’d takea peek at what’s out therethese days.”Tracy Powell, the brand

manager for Corcoran,showed him the newest hik-ing boots made for the

Navy SEALs. They’re wa-terproof, have strong anklesupport and feature aknobby sole for mountain-ous terrain.“The technology is al-

ways changing,” she said.“It’s amazing what theyhave out these days.”

NMCB 3 Public AffairsNaval Mobile Construction Battalion

(NMCB) 3’s focus on a culture of fitnessresulted in a combinedweight loss of morethan 1,000 pounds between February andAugust while the battalion was deployedto Europe and Africa.LastMarch, the 21st Century Sailor and

Marine Initiative was rolled out by theSecretary of the Navy, and one of the pil-lars of the program was to transform theculture of physical fitness testing into aculture of fitness.To complete this goal, each detachment

site conducted physical training (PT) sixtimes a week as part of the normal workroutine.NMCB 3 was deployed to more than

eight countries throughout Europe andAfrica, and each location had differentterrains, climates and facilities availablefor PT. This made holding PT six days aweek challenging for the entire battal-ion.At the main deployment site in Rota,

Spain, the Seabees held PT together everyMonday and Friday at 5:30 a.m. OnMon-days they focused on strengthening exer-cises and short runs that built speed, whileon Fridays they focused on long endur-ance runs.On June 8, a Friday PT session, the com-

manding officer challenged the Seabees inSpain to a voluntary 10-mile run, andmore than 75 of them participated.“We offered the rest of Friday off to

anyone that participated in the run,” saidCmdr. Scott Raymond, the commandingofficer of NMCB 3. “I was pleased whenmore than 90 percent lined up to partici-pate in the run. I was even more pleasedto see many of the participants finish therun, go shower, then come in to work re-gardless of having the day off. This is anoutstanding indicator of the character ofthese Seabees in NMCB 3.”Construction Mechanic 2nd Class

Shawn Conley, command fitness leader,said the Seabees ran four, five and evensix miles during command PT everyweek.“Because we routinely train harder than

the physical readiness test (PRT), the 10-mile run was actually easy for us,” hesaid.Conley said the schedule helped change

everyone’s mindset to a culture of fit-ness.During the rest of the week, each com-

pany in Spain still held PT at 5:30 a.m.,but they modified the workouts based oncompany goals. Headquarters Company,consisting of the fleet support rates, wouldconduct yoga onWednesdays while allow-ing their Sailors to focus on fitness goals,such as weight loss or strength building,on Thursdays. Delta Company, the com-pany responsible for vertical constructionprojects, used the other days of the weekto conduct small unit PT that consistedof calisthenics and short runs. Alfa Com-pany, the company responsible for hori-zontal construction and equipment main-tenance, focused on long-distancerunning.In Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, the Sea-

bees held PT as a large group everyMon-day and the rest of the week broke up intosmaller groups to conduct cross fit, circuittraining, or sometimes just a focus on coreor upper body strengthening.UtilitiesmanConstructionmanMichael

Arnold lost 40 pounds while deployed toDjibouti.

“I feel that that the support from ship-mates along with self determination toincrease my physical shape and personalhealth were the main contributors in mysuccessful weight loss,” he said.In Tan Tan,Morocco, 26 of NMCB 3’s

Seabees held PT at 5:30 p.m. every day.Frequently it consisted of 3.5-mile cross-country runs across the desert dunes andhard dirt. Once a week they challengedtheir Moroccan army counterparts to agame of soccer.Breaking up the monotony seemed to

be critical, leaders said.”The variety of workouts they are doing

and the opportunity to built their own fit-ness routine really helped with their fitness—alsomaking right choiceswhen it comesto meal choices,” said Master Chief Util-itiesman Barry Bender, the NMCB 3 se-nior enlisted leader in Djibouti. “Goodleadership was key to our success. Wemade sure that the troops who needed alittle motivation or a little push had thehelp they needed, whether it was with fit-ness or nutrition.”

Over the course of three days in July,Boy Scout Troop 787 from ThousandOaks sent nine Scouts to the EngineeringDuty Officer (EDO) School at Naval BaseVentura County (NBVC) Port Huenemeto work on their Engineering MeritBadge.Classroom lectures, discussions and

building of an engineering project wereall part of the program that was put to-gether for the Scouts.The Scouts had to research a household

item — such as a TV, toaster or comput-er— to determine how it works and whatsort of engineering activities were neededto create it. They also needed to pick anengineering achievement that has had amajor impact on society and investigatethe engineering feats that made it possible,obstacles that had to be overcome, whatengineers were involved in the project andhow it has influenced the world. Amongthe topics they chose were the GreatPyramids, the Great Wall of China, theEiffel Tower, the Panama Canal and thespace shuttle.Since the EDO School has four engi-

neering duty officers on staff with varyingbackgrounds in naval, mechanical, mate-rials and systems engineering and appliedphysics, they offered a unique experienceto the Scouts with a Navy flavor. TheScouts had to discuss at least six differenttypes of engineering as well as what a pro-fessional engineer is.Capt. Thomas Brovarone, Cmdr. Ste-

phenMeade, Lt. Cmdr. Richard Jones and

Lt. Cmdr. GregMitchell took the time todiscuss their careers as naval officers andopportunities in the Engineering DutyOfficer community. Videos of missileshots, directed energy weapons, ship con-struction and launchings were shown tothe Scouts, who also got to learn the edu-cational, training and experience require-ments needed to be an engineer. Engineer-ing ethics were also related in terms theBoy Scouts understood as part of theirScout Oath and Law.To get to the core engineering involved

in the merit badge, the EDO School staffdeveloped a training series on the systemsengineering process and had the Scoutsdesign a patrol box for static camping us-ing that systems engineering approach.Each Scout discussed their design, whatthe requirements for the design were, de-tails on the design, materials and toolsrequired and how they would put it to-gether and verify that it met their originalrequirements.“This will be useful for them, especially

those working on Eagle Scout projects,”said Mitchell, himself an Eagle Scout.The last part of the classroom work

included learning about transformingmo-tion and converting energy. An Office ofNaval Research project called the SeaPerch was used to discuss these topics andthen apply them in the building of theunderwater remote operated vehicle(ROV).How a propeller works, forces, and

transforming between linear and rota-tional motion were discussed and relatedto the project. Since naval engineering,ship design and construction are the cor-nerstone of the Engineering Duty com-munity, buoyancy was explained to theScouts in terms of submarines and howit would be applied to the underwaterROV.

Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) participated in an an-nual regionwide disaster prepared-ness exercise known as OperationCitadel Rumble Aug. 7-9.Citadel Rumble is a response

and recovery exercise designed toevaluate Navy shore-based com-mands and installation emergencypreparedness in response to an allhazards scenario. During thisyear’s exercise, installation com-mands faced the specter of mul-tiple earthquakes striking through-out the region.The first day of the exercise in-

cluded several drills.As they would in an actual

emergency, the Child Develop-ment Centers at both PointMuguandPortHueneme evacuated chil-dren as part of the exercise andconducted a parent recall notifica-tion. Likewise, Naval Branch

Medical Clinic Port Huenemetested its triage capabilities withthe help of role players.The exercise called for theNaval

SatelliteOperationCenter at PointMugu to sustain major damage,resulting in personnel injuries anda fire. Emergency responders ar-rived to triage the “wounded”andassess the building.The scenario had the earth-

quakes wreaking havocwith pow-er and transportation routes, par-ticularly around San Diego. TheNaval Facilities ExpeditionaryLogisticsCenter, located atNBVCPortHueneme,was tapped to sup-ply Mobile Utilities SupportEquipment (MUSE) to help re-store power.Roads betweenNBVC and San

Diego were to be considered se-verely disrupted, if not impassable.MUSE’s mobile switchgear skidand portable shore power connec-tion panel was loaded aboardLandingCraftUtility (LCU) 1648for sea transport to Point Loma,

along with two Seabee MUSEtechnicians. The equipment hasthe capability of providing powerto ships, submarines or base fa-cilities duringman-made or natu-ral disasters.Although themajority of Cita-

del Rumble was conducted as apen-and-paper exercise, the ship-ment of theMUSE via LCUwasa real-time execution.“It was exciting to be a part of

this exerciseandshowcaseMUSE’sdisaster response capabilities,”said ConstructionMechanic 2ndClass EdwardGugala, one of thetwo Seabees tapped to escort theMUSE. “We can load our equip-ment onto ships, trucks, planesand trains to provide power any-where in the world very quickly.”Construction Mechanic 1st

Class Leslie Walton also sailedwith the MUSE during the exer-cise.Day Two saw NBVC more se-

verely affected, with the exercisecalling for an earthquake strong

enough to badly damageBuilding1 at PointMugu, where the Emer-gency Operations Center (EOC),the heart of the command’s emer-gency response coordination, islocated.The shift to an alternate loca-

tion, and technical issues withtraining websites and communi-cation software, presented chal-lenges to the NBVC EOC team

and other teams throughout theregion. The issues only added tothe realism, noted Rob Huether,installation training officer.“We do these exercises to find

out the gaps in the process andfill them before an actual emer-gency arises,” he explained. “It’sis always better to be preparedfor an emergency that nevercomes.”

Help when you need it.The Fleet & FamilySupport Center

September is National PreparednessMonth. Naval Base Ventura County’sFleet and Family Support Center (FFSC)encourages every individual to be in-formed, have a plan and make a kit. So,what does that entail and how do we getstarted?The first step is to be informed by un-

derstanding what the potential hazardsare for the area where you live. Here inVentura County, there are a wide varietyof natural disasters that could occur —and already have— including earthquakes,landslides, wildfires, tsunami and flooding.Other hazards include power outages,dams breaking, even acts of terrorism.Your second step is to get prepared. It’s

not “if” but “when” the Big One will hit.You might not be able to control naturaldisasters, but you can control your prepa-ration for the event.The single best approach in preparation

is to develop and initiate a comprehensiveplan. In order to alleviate the myriad con-

cerns for your family, you should knowhow to shut off the natural gas line andwhere possible shelters are in your area.Think in advance. Howwill this affect myfamily? What if they are at home and Iam at work — or worse, deployed? Whatif the kids are at school or are simplyseparated from the family? What type ofcommunication measures do we have inplace? Have we talked about a possibleevacuation route or a possible rendezvous

point if we get separated?These are all things that should be ad-

dressed in your emergency plan. Try andkeep in mind that a plan doesn’t do anygood if it isn’t properly understood by allfamily members. Children need to feelreassured during times when it might geta bit chaotic. The best way to ensure calm-ness and ease your loved ones’ worries isto give them a sense of control througheffective communication and a routine-likeapproach to each situation. In terms ofany plan, the old saying is absolutely true:Practice makes perfect.The third and final step is to make an

emergency kit. There are some basic ne-cessities to include: blankets, food, water,flashlight and a radio. Throw in extra bat-teries for both the radio and the flash-light.It’s also very important to make sure

that your kit is tailored to the needs ofyour family. If you have children, youmight want to make sure there are some

comfort items in there for them. It couldbe a special toy or blanket or a certaintype of food or snacks. And since you’rein the planning stages, don’t forget Fido.Family pets have to be taken into consid-eration when putting together your planand your kits. It’s vitally important to en-sure your home kits have enough suppliesfor you and your family to shelter in placefor a minimum of 72 hours.There are resources on the Internet to

help families make a plan and put togeth-er a kit. The Federal EmergencyManage-ment Agency (FEMA), www.fema.gov orwww.ready.gov, is a valuable resource.Another important local resource is“ReadyVentura County,”http://readyven-turacounty.org.TheFFSCoffers a disaster preparedness

class. The next one is Sept. 19, from 4:30to 5:30 p.m. at the Port Hueneme FFSC.If you have questions or would like to signup for the class, please call 805-989-1682.

Seabees assigned toNavalMo-bile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 5 left in early Augustfor an annual Field Training Ex-ercise (FTX) at Fort HunterLiggett.The FTX, which is expected

to run through the end of themonth, is a culmination ofNMCB 5’s homeport trainingand is designed to demonstratebattalion readiness in the field.The exercise is set up to mimicdeployment conditions andevents the battalion might faceon future deployments. NMCB5 conducted classes and prac-ticed drills during the beginningof the training; as the exerciseprogresses, the more difficult itbecomes.“It’s extremely important that

we conduct a field training exer-cise in order to ensure that thebattalion as a whole is proficientin all things that we need to do,”

said Lt. Cmdr. John Brown,NMCB 5’s operations officer.At the beginning of the exer-

cise, the battalion worked tire-lessly through intense heat of upto 115 degrees to create a Logis-tics Support Area (LSA). Com-munications and defenses werethen established within the camp,and every company within thebattalion worked together tocomplete the entire process.“It’s great being on FTX. It’s

an extreme change of pace outhere from being in homeport,”Brown said.NMCB 5 will also be tested on

chemical, biological and radio-

logical (CBR) readiness and howto interact with the local civilianpopulation and enemy aggres-sors.“It’s a lot different than what

I thought it would be. I’m look-ing forward to more scenarios

and just a lot more activity,” saidConstruction Electrician Con-structionmanMario Guzman ofNMCB 5’s Bravo Company.Guzman said his mission is tohelp with security of the entrycontrol point of the camp and

to perform internal securitywithin the camp. He said he waslooking forward to putting allthe skills learned in homeport touse. NMCB 5 is training for ascheduled deployment to PacificCommand early next year.

With about 22 species of mosquitoesactive at Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) — some flying by day, some bynight— base residents are bound to havesome annoying encounters with mosqui-toes during the warmer months of theyear.The two main mosquito species found

at NBVC are Aedes, which appear inearly season and prefer salt water in themarshes and wetlands, and Culex, whichshow up in mid- to late-season and preferfresh water, mostly the private duck pondsto the north, adjacent to NBVC PointMugu.No matter their preferred time of day,

all mosquitoes have one thing in common:their need for water in which to breed andgrow.

Adult mosquitoes lay their eggs onmoist surfaces near water, or directly ontostill water. Any containers that hold stand-ing water are ideal breeding sites — oldtires, toys, ponds, pools, uncovered boats,birdbaths, even dishes under flowerpots.In industrial areas, equipment that is

covered by tarps orwaterproof plasticmayharbor these pests in puddles on the plas-tic or in suitable cavities nearby. Theequipment itself may even be configuredin such away that water is allowed to pondon it, making an ideal habitat for mos-quito larvae.Before laying their eggs, mosquitoes

seek a blood meal from a warm-bloodedhost — a bird, a dog, possibly even you.In search of ameal, mosquitoes are drawnto carbon dioxide given off by your breath,your body heat and your own moisture.They track you down by your skin tem-perature and by your sweat. The main at-traction is carbon dioxide you exhale.After dusk, during peak feeding time,mosquitoes find you a very attractive tar-get, as they can find you from up to 20feet away.When feeding on you, mosquitoes actu-

ally inject their saliva into your skin tohelp extract your blood. It is the salivathat causes the itching you feel after beingbitten.Mosquito bites can also spread serious

diseases such asWestern Equine Enceph-alitis, St. Louis Encephalitis andWestNileVirus. Only females bite. Males drinkflower juices.The femaleCulexmosquito lays her eggs

in tiny “rafts” that float on the surface ofthe water. Each raft may contain hundredsof eggs. With favorable conditions, theseeggs can hatch and become adults in abouta week.Don’t let your yard become a mosquito

breeding ground! Take these precau-tions:• Empty anything that holds standing

water — old tires, buckets, plastic covers,toys, etc.• Every week, changewater in birdbaths,

fountains, wading pools and animaltroughs.• Recycle unused containers — bottles,

cans and buckets that may collect water.• Make sure roof gutters are draining

properly, and clean your clogged gutters

in the spring and fall.• Fix your leaky outside faucets and

sprinkler systems.• Make sure your windows and door

screens are bug-tight. Replace or repairas needed.After you have eliminated mosquito

breeding sites, don’t let yourself be on themenu.• Stay indoors at dawn and dusk, if pos-

sible, when mosquitoes are most active• Wear a long-sleeved shirt or blouse,

long pants and hat when going into mos-quito-infested areas such as wetlands orwoods.• Use mosquito repellent when needed.

Carefully follow instructions on the la-bel.• Repellents with DEET are very effec-

tive and are widely used to reduce the riskof bites. Take special care when applyingrepellents on your children!

Answering 10 survey questions could beone of themost valuableways to spend fiveminutes for employees of the Naval AirWarfareCenterWeaponsDivision, accord-ing to leaders of the command’s CustomerSatisfaction Program.Lisa Pracchia, head of the program, rec-

ognizes that there are many requests foremployees’ time and input but encouragesthe workforce to respond to these surveysbecause they generate information that isrelevant and used to make a difference.“The purpose of the surveys is to im-

prove,”Pracchia said. “There are real ben-efits to responding to these surveys becauseit produces information that helps us im-prove howwe support our customers, andit gives reliable and quality information forrewarding our employees.”Pracchia and her team of two, Twiggy

Goodwin and Stacey Howard, send outsurveys to external and internal customerseither at fixed times twice a year or after asignificant event. The next survey is sched-uled for September.An external customer is one that supplies

funding toNAWCWDlikeNAVAIRhead-quarters, other Navy commands, otherDepartment of Defense programs, or oth-er branches of the military. Internal cus-tomers are those at NAWCWD who rep-resent their sponsors or who useNAWCWD-internal services.There are currently 23 NAWCWD de-

partments thatparticipate in the command’sCustomer Satisfaction Program, andmorethan 5,000 surveys have been processed.“The response rate fromexternal custom-

ers is very good,”Pracchia said. “Wewouldlike to see increased participation fromourinternal employees at large.”The highly automated survey consists of

10 questions and is aimed at assessing,analyzing and reporting on customer sat-isfaction. There is also an open text fieldfor additional comments, complaints orpositive remarks. All of the praise in thesurvey is captured and reported verbatimat different levels in the organization regu-larly.Pracchia said a commoncomplaint about

surveys in general is that they can be time-consuming, and the results are never re-ported.“What’s different about our process is

that it takes only five minutes to completeand there is documented follow-up afterthe survey if there are any issues,” shesaid.If a customer indicates dissatisfaction,

he or she is contacted within one week and

given the option of using a formal processto resolve the issue and track it to clo-sure.“Our survey-and-response process pro-

vides actionable data and ensures we areaccountable to each other and our custom-ers,” Pracchia said.The NAWCWD Customer Satisfaction

Program began in 2009 as the result of acommand analysis that was conducted un-der former NAWCWDCommander RearAdm. David Dunaway.“That analysis pointed to a few funda-

mental gaps in our performance as com-pared with industry best practices,” Prac-chia said. “One gap was that we didn’tcapture and use the voice of the custom-er.”Pracchia said one of the groups that has

benefitted from the survey-and-responseprocess is the Range Department.“They have really used this process to

improve and respond to their customers’feedback,” she said. “Over time, Rangecomplaints have dropped 17 percent andtheir customers’ overall satisfaction scoreshave gone up 10 percent. That’s phenom-enal progress.”
