Is there a civilian clothes policy for Naval Base Ventura County?

Question: Is there a civilian clothes policy forNaval Base Ventura County?

I recently saw a man in the commissary wear-ing a shirt emblazoned with obscenities. I wantedto approach him and make him take it off andturn it inside out, but I did not feel that I wouldbe justified without a commanding officer policyletter for civilian clothes. Clearly, this was shock-ing to the senses.

Answer: Let me add that this question camevia e-mail with a photo attached of the man andhis shirt. It was one of the crudest shirts I haveever seen, and it was appalling to think my chil-dren could have seen it, let alone any adult witheven the slightest moral standard.The individual in question — whether ac-

tive duty, dependent or retiree — can be deniedaccess to the commissary based on his failure to

comply with COMNAVREGSWINST 1020.1B.“When civilian clothing is worn,” the regula-

tion states, “naval personnel shall ensure theirdress and personal appearance is appropriate forthe occasion and will not bring discredit upon thenaval service.... Profanity, pornography or advo-cation of drug usage on clothing is not allowed.”The regulation also states: “All personnel,

whether active duty, dependents or retirees, arerequired to comply with the civilian dress re-quirements established in this instruction whileon board military installations. Those not meet-ing these standards may be denied access to thefacilities.”NBVC Command will ensure this regulation

is enforced. If you notice someone in violation ofthis policy, please politely ask that they leave thearea and/or change out of the offensive clothing.If they refuse, notify Force Protection.

On Friday, June 10, cleanup crews from Patriot Environmental Services began removing large chunks of the Boeing 707 refueling tankerthat crashed at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, on May 18. The wreckage could not be removed until the National TransportationSafety Board completed its on-site investigation into the cause of the crash and environmental teams were sure there was no chanceof fuel, hydraulic fluid or other substances contaminating the wetlands. None of the three crew members was seriously injured when theplane crashed on takeoff. For full details of the wreckage removal, see the June 30 edition of The Lighthouse.

Facebook has left a lasting mark on“friendship.”With the click of a buttonyou could be friends, sometimes withtotal strangers.Merriam-Webster defines “friend” as

“one attached to another by affectionor esteem, one that is not hostile, onethat favors or promotes something.”In researching the challenge of friend-

ship for military spouses, I stumbled onan article in the American SociologicalReview (June 2006). It identifies a lossin the quality and quantity of closefriendships among the general popula-tion since at least 1985.The study states 25 percent of Amer-

icans have no close confidants, and ofthose who do, the average number ofsuch confidants has dropped from fourto two.Building strong friendships starts with

looking in the mirror. Do we have theskills and characteristics that not onlymake us a good friend but enhance ourability to develop fulfilling friend-ships?Here is a list of several key character-

istics of successful friendships. Join me

in looking at how these affect our rela-tionships and let’s assess how well wedisplay these characteristics ourselves.• Be a friend: The old adage “to have

a friend you must first be a friend” seemsto be the starting point. To have relation-ships we must be willing to be a goodfriend and invest the time, energy andemotion needed to be a friend.• Integrity: Honesty and a firm adher-

ence to the moral values of protectingyour friend, their reputation and theirbest interest are primary. Never say any-thing about your friend that you are notwilling to say to their face. Facebook is

not the place to work out a conflict.Likewise, be willing to speak the truth,in compassion with your friend’s bestinterest in mind.• Acceptance: Knowing your friend’s

history, strengths and weaknesses andallowing them to be who they are, con-fident that you will stand by them, laysa foundation of openness and trust.• Trust: Hold your friend’s confidenc-

es as if your heart is a vault. In addition,trust means that you are faithful to yourword, to be there when you say you will,etc.• Selflessness: Friendships are not

50/50 partnerships. If you enter a friend-ship to “get” from it, you will drain therelationship of life. While friendshipsrequire give-and-take, a selfless attitudewill enhance the quality of your friend-ship.• Communication: Isn’t this the key to

all of life, whether we’re talking aboutmarriage, the workplace or family? Yes,friendship is no different. Friendshiprequires communication – not talking– communication. Communicationcomes from the word “commune,”where

we also get the word “communion.” Itis a verb “to share” and implies a levelof intimacy. Are you a good listener?Do you draw out your friend by askingfollow-on questions to really understandthem?• Care enough to confront: A pastor’s

wife, Julie Kauflin, once told me, “Ifyou do not confront a problem with afriend you will reject that friend.” Shethen added that she has come to realizethat confrontation, handled well, canlead to greater intimacy in friendships.If you run into bumps or conflicts inyour friendship, it requires caring enoughto be willing to go to your friend to talkabout the conflict and work itthrough.Technology provides an incredible op-

portunity to connect with family andfriends, but it is a mixed blessing. Doyourself and your friends a favor anddetermine never to use Facebook, Twit-ter or other social media to work througha conflict.

The opportunity for travel is one of theperks of being in a military family. And,for families with school children, summeris the best time for travel.Although summer typically means a

vacation from school, summer travel canmean an opportunity to continue learning.When travel and education are combined,“edu-travel” is formed.Edu-travel combines fun, learning, new

experiences and family time. Whether the“travel” is due to a PCS move, visitingfamily members or simply an opportu-nity to visit new places, learning oppor-tunities abound. While sitting in a class-room, children hear about history lessonsand see pictures of geographical land-marks. While traveling, they can experi-ence those lessons and landmarks first-hand. That is what “edu-travel” isabout.Getting to the travel destination is only

part of the learning experience. From li-cense plate scavenger hunt to travel jour-nals, even being in a car can be a learningexperience. Plan ahead, search road tripgames online, and hit the road with thefamily for a fun learning experience.

If you still need ideas. Here are a fewwonderful opportunities to help you gaina rewarding “edu-travel” experience.

Geocaching

This great activity is a high-tech outdoorscavenger hunt involving math and direc-tion finding. “Caches”of trinkets are hid-den all over the United States — in fact,all over the world — and it’s up to you tofind them. When you do, you take a trin-ket and leave another. It is fun for the

whole family and costs nothingmore thana GPS unit. Check out www.geocaching.com for more information.

Letterboxing

“Letterboxers”hide small, weatherproofboxes in places that are accessible to thepublic, like parks, and post clues to find-ing the box online on one of several web-sites. However, clues to finding some ofthe most highly-sought boxes are passedaround by word of mouth. There areabout 20,000 letterboxes hidden in NorthAmerica alone. Individual letterboxes usu-ally contain a log book, an often hand-carved rubber stamp and may contain anink pad. Finders make an imprint of theletterbox’s stamp on their personal logbook and leave an imprint of their per-sonal stamp on the letterbox’s logbook.For more information, go to www.letter-boxing.org.

National Parks programs

If you have preteens or younger, theNational Parks Junior Ranger Program

can’t be beat, as it provides curriculumideas for each park as well as a variety ofactivities. A companion program is thePassport Program, which allows kids (andadults) to have a “parks passport”stampedas they visit parks. For more information,go to www.nps.gov/index.htm.

Blue Star Museums

Blue Star Museums is a program thatoffers free admission to museums for allactive duty, National Guard and Reservemilitary personnel and their families fromMemorial Day through Labor Day. BlueStarMuseums is a partnership among theNational Endowment for the Arts, BlueStar Families and hundreds of museumsacross the country. For a list of participat-ing musuems in your local area or an areayou may be visiting, log on to www.blue-starfam.org/Programs/Blue_Star_Muse-ums

— For any K-12 educational questions,please contact the NBVC school liaisonofficer at 989-5211 or [email protected].

This month we celebrate the special roleof the patriarch of the family, the father.In thinking about what I would like to

say, I am reminded of this wonderful quotefromAmericanGen.DouglasMacArthur:“By profession I am a soldier and takepride in that fact. But I am prouder— in-finitely prouder— to be a father. A soldierdestroys in order to build; the father onlybuilds, never destroys. The one has thepotentiality of death; the other embodiescreation and life. And while the hordes ofdeath are mighty, the battalions of life aremightier still. It is my hope that my son,when I am gone, will remember me notfrom the battle but in the home repeatingwith him our simple daily prayer, ‘OurFather who art in heaven.’”You may recall the story aired on the

news in 2007 about a child trapped in ahole who could be extricated only by send-ing another, smaller child into the tunnel.Another child was approached to see if

he would be willing to go down and rescuethe one whowas lodged. After a brief mo-ment the young boy said, “I am scared togo in that hole, but I will go if my fatherwill hold the rope.”There is a fellow Navy chaplain I know

who has an amazing relationship with hiskids. Several times I was invited over fordinner, and I witnessed for myself how

open they were in discussing sensitive is-sues.My friend related to me that one dayhe was working on his car and could hearhis son in a serious conversation with afriend from school. He said, “The friendwas asking some of those questions we allworried about as we grew up. Instead ofanswering the questions, his son asked,‘Why don’t you ask your dad about that?’To this his friend replied, ‘You mean youcan talk to your dad about such things?’I love my kids with all my heart and praythey will feel just as comfortable in speak-ing with me.”In the New Testament, our Savior told

us of the importance of setting an ex-ample: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, TheSon can do nothing of himself, but whathe seeth the Father do: for what thingssoever he doeth, these also doeth the Sonlikewise.” (John 5:19)May you all have a happy and blessed

Father’s Day.

A thank you to fathers, so important in a child’s life

Gloom.“I was hoping it would be

much that the cool breeze is

welcome,” added LogisticsSpecialist 1st Class Jose Cam-pos of the Fleet IndustrialSupport Center, VenturaCounty detachment.Glasstetter and Campos

ing to pick up trash and do alittle painting,” said ReligiousProgramming Specialist 2ndClass Walter Brobst. “Butwhen we got here we saw thatthe sand had completely

blocked wheelchair access tothe playground area. The side-walks were covered with sand,so we got busy shoveling outthe gutters and sweeping thesidewalks.“It actually became a much

In today’s environment of emails, cellphone texting, Internet shopping andcredit card purchases, it is more importantthan ever to ensure your personal and fi-nancial information is safe. While no onewants to become a victim of fraud or iden-tity theft, the fact is that by taking theproper precautions, most consumers canensure their personal information is shel-tered from fraudulent eyes.There are several fraud schemes that

target financial information. Fraudulentemails and texts, also known as “phish-ing,” request a consumer visit a websiteand enter personal information such asPIN, Social Security numbers, credit cardnumbers or bank account numbers. Nolegitimate financial institution will everask its customers to verify their informa-tion via an unsolicited text message, emailor even phone call. When in doubt, callyour financial institution back at a number

you know to be valid.Keeping a close eye on your credit re-

port can also help you spot potential signsof fraud or identity theft. The Fair Cred-it ReportingAct entitles consumers to onefree credit report per year from each ofthe three credit reporting agencies. To re-quest your free report you can visit an-nualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228.If you use debit and credit cards for

purchases, there are several ways you canminimize the potential for fraud. Recon-cile your statements, challenge any pur-chase you did not make, limit the numberof cards you have, memorize your PINnumber so you do not have to write itdown and shred all receipts when you nolonger need them.When shopping online,make sure it is a secure site.The NavyMarine Corps Relief Society

has more information on avoiding iden-tity theft and on many financial and bud-getary issues. Call 982-4409 for more.

It wasn’t like she didn’t see it, the im-provised explosive device in the field, withits trip wires and trigger showing.It was the other one she didn’t see, the

one she set off by remote when she turnedaway from the first one and crossed intothe path of a beam emanating from a fakerock nearby.A loud bang a few feet away, a burst of

smoke and Vanessa Prado, a senior atHuenemeHigh School, had learned a les-son in current military warfare.Vanessa, who has received a $180,000

Reserve Officer Training Corps scholar-ship to Norwich University in Vermont,and George Heredia, a junior at OxnardHigh School, saw up close how improvisedexplosive devices work when they servedas the Naval Base Ventura County com-manding officer for a day on Thursday,May 26.They also got to climb into both the

cockpit of an E-2C surveillance plane andan E-2 simulator and tour an “enemy vil-lage” at NBVC Point Mugu.Both students are with the JuniorROTC

programs at their high schools — Van-essa with the Navy and George with theAir Force.They spent a full morning on base,

watching Capt. Jim McHugh conductquarters and sitting in on his conferencecall with the commanding officers ofother installations in Navy Region South-west.They were briefed on the current state

of the Navy, learning that it’s the smallestit has been since 1960, and onNBVC itself— a three-site installation at PointMugu,PortHueneme and SanNicolas Island thatis the No. 1 employer in Ventura County,with 17,000 military personnel and civil-ians and a $1.7 billion yearly economicimpact on the county.They also learned about some of the

other duties of a commanding officer, likeprotecting endangered species that callNBVC home.“We have more than 100,000 marine

mammals onNaval Base Ventura County,including San Nicolas Island,” McHughtold them. “I never thought I’d be worriedabout seals and sea lions when I becamecommanding officer of an installation.”They also learned that he’s a “landlord”

for more than 80 tenant commands onbase, from air squadrons to Seabee bat-talions.

“Any base commander doesn’t controlthe ships or the aircraft,” he explained. “Icontrol whether the gates are open.”The commanding officer is the host of

dozens of events held on base, includingmany that are open to the public, fromthe Haunted Swamp at Halloween to theAdmiral’s Cup triathlon.About 1,200 people work directly for

him.“I try not to micromanage,” he said

when asked how he juggles everything. “Iempower my people to take care of theproblem.”He told the students early in the morn-

ing that he’d try to offer some leadershiphints— “You’ll develop your own leader-ship style as you hear bits and pieces ofwhat you like and don’t like,”he told them— and he had several:• Trust but verify. Delegate, but then

check up.• Bring a solution to the table. Don’t

push the problem on to a supervisor.• Balance work and family.• Ask questions.Then came the tour.They started with the multimillion-dol-

lar E-2 simulator, which had them tryingto land the surveillance aircraft on a car-rier in bad weather or with engine fail-ure.A pilot took the controls first.McHugh

stood outside the simulator and watchedit move gently from side to side with the

students inside.“This gives you a good sense of the pro-

cedures involved in flying an aircraft,” hetold those watching. “But getting into theactual airplane is where you learn its id-iosyncrasies.”

Suddenly, the simulator lurched to oneside.“Now the kids are flying the plane,” he

said, smiling. “You can always tell.”After a few minutes, the students

emerged. George was especially proud.“We almost made it!” he said.“Almost doesn’t count,” McHugh re-

minded him.After heading back to Point Mugu’s

Building 1 for the conference call, the stu-dents returned to the runway area to climbinside a real E-2C. Lt. Cmdr. Shane Tan-ner of Carrier Airborne Command andControl Squadron 117 (VAW-117) walkedthem through the aircraft, then offered hisown advice.“Always choose the harder road,” he

said. “Excel in college. Your path startsright now, and remember that you’re al-ready having an impact on the other peo-ple around you.”After that it was on to “Combat Town,”

an area on base set up to simulate the liv-ing conditions of enemy combatants.Years ago, it was a fake Vietnamese jungle.Today, it’s a village in a desert.More than 500 students a month come

to this area for counter IED training inpreparation for deployment to theMiddleEast.“We’re always trying to figure out the

enemy’s tactics and the best practices to

NBVC, said as he sampled the FlightlineSignature Burger, one of 10 specialties thatchef Domenick Medina prepared for theribbon-cutting. “This is really a much-needed facility.”He said he fully expected to be back

soon with his wife and daughters, and heurged those attending the ribbon-cuttingto get the word out that the Flightline Caféis open — and that it’s good.“We need folks to come,”he said. “This

is a use-it or lose-it proposition.”The restaurant is open from 6 a.m. to 7

p.m. Monday through Friday. There’s abreakfast menu, $6.95 daily lunch specials— pot roast, roasted chicken, barbecuechicken and ribs, meat loaf, or fish andchips — salads, homemade soups, pizza,hamburgers, hot dogs, pasta dishes andsignature sandwiches. Beer and wine arealso available.In addition to the Flightline Signature

Burger, samples of the Grilled ChickenClub, the Santa FeGrilled Chicken Sand-wich and the TunaMelt were available atthe ribbon-cutting, alongwith French friesand sweet potato fries. Two kinds of cook-ies, chocolate chip cupcakes with butter-cream frosting and blueberry muffins, allof whichMedina had baked thatmorning,were also served.“It’s all good,” said Cmdr. Christopher

Kenefick, NBVC operations officer, as helooked at the samples on a buffet table inthe conference room behind the kitchen.“I tried everything, and it’s all good.”

The café has casual seating, an area withoverstuffed chairs for relaxing, a bank ofcomputers, television sets and the largeconference room that can be reserved forlunch and dinner meetings or parties.There’s also an outdoor dining area on

the patio.“The patio really cut down on the need

for landscaping,” said Diane Bentley, the

FacilityManagementDivision director forpublic works.The Flightline Café replaces the much

larger Point restaurant, which was locatedoutside the gates.“Having this right here in the center of

the community will be much more conve-nient,” Bentley said.NBVCCommandMaster Chief Thom-

as Cyr said he liked the atmosphere insidethe restaurant.“I think it’s great,” he said. “I see it get-

ting used quite a bit.”And everyone agreed they liked the

food.Rey Reyes, Liberty program and fleet

recreation coordinator, was partial to theGrilled Chicken Club. Lt. Pablito Quia-tchon of NBVC Force Protection likedthe Flightline Signature Burger. AndCmdr.Michael Obermiller, NBVC publicworks officer, enjoyed a chocolate chipcookie.“The base has needed a facility like this

for quite some time,” Obermiller said. “Ihope people will react positively and uti-lize it.”

On May 5 and 6, Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalion 40 conducted Sea-bee Olympics as a way to promotesquad camaraderie and training.The event took place onboard Naval

Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme,and consisted of an M16 relay; OE-254antenna setup; gun-loop relay; tent(MGPTS) setup; Chemical, Biologicaland Radiological (CBR) suit-up; med-ical relay; and tug-of-war.Seven squads competed in the events

and represented Alfa, Bravo, Charlieand Headquarters companies.The activities allowed the partici-

pants to gain experience with the top-ics under an environment of elevatedstress and with a faster pace than theynormally encounter in classroom train-ing.Members of one team reported that

they enjoyed the Olympics because itallowed them to individually challengethemselves and that the events pro-moted individual competency as wellas group unity.Competition was fierce over the two

days, with all of the squads leading indifferent events. However, it was AlfaCompany that clinched both first andsecond place. The members of the lead-ing team were awarded 24-hour libertypasses and NMBC 40 sweatshirts inrecognition of their accomplishment.In the end, everyone in the battalion

won the Olympics as they will all ableto draw upon the experience gained inthe different events. All of this knowl-edge will be put to the test as NMCB40 trains throughout their homeportwith major evolutions such as a fieldtraining exercise coming up before theirdeployment in 2012.

The Piru Habitat for Humanity projectsite received a big boost from the Seabeesof Naval Mobile Construction Battalion4 from Naval Base Ventura County, PortHueneme, when they spent five weeks as-sisting in the framing, plumbing, electricaland finishing touches of two homes in aneighborhood just off of Main Street.“I like working with the Seabees! They

already know construction and progressis extremely rapid,” said Matthew Olson,site supervisor for Habitat for Humani-ty.The Seabees are in stark contrast to the

usual volunteer force of college groups,local businesses, firefighters and retirees,which are normally used as unskilled la-bor.“Seabee volunteers require almost no

supervision or instruction and can bepointed in the right direction and off theygo!” said Olson.A volunteer stint at a Habitat project is

a great opportunity for NMCB 4 Seabeeswho have mainly been involved in hastywartime construction in places like Iraqand Afghanistan.“I like doing this better than contin-

gency construction because you see whatit’s like really doing civilian construction,”said Construction Electrician 3rd ClassKreshaune Cervantes.Additionally, being able to work under

thewings of licensed professionals allowedthe volunteers of Charlie Company tolearn things they may not have been ableto learn otherwise.“This is completely different. I get to do

the [civilian] electrical,” said ConstructionElectricianConstructionmanAlan Thom-as.In homeport during a battalion’s time

off from deployment, there is a lot oftraining, but most of it is directed to pre-pare for the next deployment.“Real world construction is a new ex-

perience and sets us up for life outside ofthe Seabees,” said Builder Construction-man Steven Balsavich.“Working (at theHabitat project) during

homeport gives good in-rate knowledge,”added Builder 2nd Class Michael Hart-man.Volunteering for a Habitat for Human-

ity project is also an opportunity to giveback to the local communities using theskills provided by the U.S. Navy trainingthe Seabees received in school.“The more I worked on the project, the

more motivated I became in helping thecommunity,” said Builder Construction-man David Garrett.As NMCB 4wraps up its time in home-

port, the volunteers will head out know-ing that they learned new skills, gainedvaluable knowledge and made a differ-ence in their community through theirefforts.“Without volunteers, Habitat wouldn’t

exist!” said Olson.

By Petty Officer 1st Class James ThimePreventive Medicine TechnicianNaval Branch Health Clinic, Port Hueneme

Now that the beginning of the mos-quito season is upon us, the PreventiveMedicine Division of the Occupationaland Environmental Health Departmentat Naval Branch Health Clinic Port Hue-neme, in conjunction with Naval BaseVentura County (NBVC) Public WorksDepartment, is working to prevent thenuisance of mosquitoes and the encroach-ment of West Nile Virus aboard NBVC.Since we had significantly more rainfall

than usual this past year, the mosquitopopulation will also be larger this yearcompared to the last few years.West Nile Virus (WNV) is a potentially

serious illness that is contracted by thebite of an infected mosquito. Those thatbite during the evening, most notably theCulex species, can potentially spreadWNV.Mosquitoes become infected when they

feed on infected birds. Infectedmosquitoescan then spread WNV to humans andother animals.Not all mosquitoes carry WNV. Day-

biting mosquitoes, known locally as SaltMarsh mosquitoes, have not been knownto harbor WNV.Thewebsitewestnile.ca.gov tracksWNV

activity by county in California. Last yearthere were zero human cases of WNVreported in Ventura County. In addition,during the past two years, the number ofWNV cases has decreased in each of thefollowing counties: Santa Barbara, Ven-tura, Los Angeles, Orange and SanDiego.The Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention website has many links and ad-ditional information on West Nile Virusand reducing risks to exposure. Go towww.CDC.gov and use the A-Z index andfind the West Nile link under “W.”

To protect yourself from mosquito bites:

Avoid going outdoors at dawn and dusk,and wear long sleeves, pants and longsocks outdoors. Keep doors and windowscreens in good repair. If you must gooutside during these times be sure to useamosquito repellent that contains DEET,an effective active ingredient found inmany repellent products and in a variety

of formulations. Based on a 2002 study(Fradin and Day, 2002), a product con-taining:• 23.8 percent DEET provided an aver-

age of five hours of protection frommos-quito bites.• A product containing 20 percent

DEET provided almost 4 hours of protec-tion• A product with 6.65 percent DEET

provided almost two hours of protec-tion• Products with 4.75 percentDEETwere

able to provide roughly an hour and a halfof protection.

To prevent mosquito breeding:

Mosquitoes can lay their eggs in as littleas a quarter inch of standing water. Theycan mature into biting adults within oneweek. Mosquitoesmay breed in a numberof different places not commonly thoughtof, primarily areas where water can sit forlonger than a week. This includes lowareas of yards, abandoned trash underbushes, aluminum cans piled up, old tires,children’s outdoor toys, bird baths, “green”

swimming pools (those that do not usechlorine or other chemicals), and rain gut-ters.If you know of any sources of standing

water or potential mosquito breeding siteson base, please call the Naval BranchHealth Clinic, Preventive Medicine Divi-sion, at 982-6358 or 982-6316. Personnelliving off base should call their local coun-ty Public Health office.To prevent the spread of WNV it is im-

portant that dead birds are reported, col-lected and evaluated. Dead birds are col-lected by the PreventiveMedicineDivisionand submitted to theVenturaCounty Pub-lic Health Department for WNV testing.Do not report a dead bird if:• It has been dead more than 24 hours• It has a foul odor• It has been hit by a car, shot, or killed

by animals• It is covered with ants or fliesTo report a dead bird off base call toll

free: 1-877-WNV-BIRD or use the onlineform at http://westnile.ca.gov. To report adead bird on base, contact the PreventiveMedicine Division at 982-6358 or 982-6316.

Rear Adm.GeorgeHenry Strohsahl Jr.,a highly decoratedNavy strike fighter andtest pilot, former commander of the Pa-cific Missile Test Center (PMTC) and, inhis retirement, a key proponent of NavalBase Ventura County who is credited withsaving thousands of jobs at Point Muguduring the second round of base realign-ments and closures in 2005, died May 22of cancer.“Georgewas an incredibly valuable asset

to Naval Base Ventura County on a num-ber of levels,” said Bill Buratto, the execu-tive director of the Ventura County Eco-nomic Development Association whoworkedwith Strohsahl duringBRAC2005,when 6,000 jobs—5,000 of them atMugu— were slated for elimination.“His knowledge of the base, especially

Point Mugu, enabled us to beat that backto 400 to 500 job losses atMugu andHue-neme combined,” Buratto said. “To havesomeone on our side with the rank of ad-miral — someone who could pick up thephone and talk to people when it wascritical — was a valuable asset. He wasinstrumental in helping us get the informa-tion we needed to put together a presenta-tion to the BRAC committee that enabledus to keep the base whole and the jobshere.”After 2005, Strohsahl continued to pro-

mote the base through his work with theRegional Defense Partnership for the 21stCentury (RDP-21) and the Southwest De-fense Alliance.“George Strohsahl was such a remark-

able man, a true patriot and a gentleman,”said Ventura County Supervisor KathyLong, whose district represents part ofNavalBaseVenturaCounty. “His contribu-tion to theRDP-21was invaluable in open-ing doors, defining strategies and commu-nicating our mission as advocates for thebase. He will truly be missed by all.”Spending 35 years in theNavy, Strohsahl

distinguished himself as an outstandingfighter and test pilot. A 1959 honors grad-uate of the U.S. Naval Academy, he flewin the Vietnam conflict and commandedA-4 and A-6 squadrons from both Atlan-tic and Pacific fleets. He made more than500 arrested landings on 11 different air-craft carriers, and at one point, he was theair officer aboard the USS Nimitz (CVN-68). He amassed more than 4,300 flighthours during his Navy career.He flew both the A-6 and the F/A-18

Hornet in a variety of test projects andinitiated development of a night attackversion of the Hornet.

Even after becoming commander of thePacific Missile Test Center at what wasthen Naval Air Station, Point Mugu, in1988, he would not give up his love offlying.“My favorite recollection of Rear Ad-

miral Strohsahl is from our Point MuguAir Show, I think in 1989,” recalled TomCurtis, deputy of the Integrated SystemsEvaluation, Experimentation and TestDepartment of NAVAIR. “The admiralwas not content to host the show but actu-ally flew in one of the demonstrations.When the flight was over, he landed andtaxied over to stop in front of the bleach-ers, climbed down and walked across thetarmac in front of the cheering crowd,waving and smiling broadly, in his brightblue flight suit with aviator scarf flying inthe breeze.

“I think this moment captured a lot ofthe admiral I remember—out front, lead-ing the way and loving every minute ofit.”As the NAVAIR program manager of

the F/A-18Naval Strike Fighter, Strohsahlwas responsible for managing the acquisi-tion and initial support of 1,377 strikefighters valued at more than $40 billion,the largest nonstrategic procurement pro-gram in theNavy. He was also responsiblefor procuring F/A-18 aircraft for the airforces of Australia and Spain, and he sup-ported the Canadian F/A-18 procurementprogram.In his first flag assignment as program

director of Tactical Aircraft Programs forNaval Air Systems Command, Strohsahlcoordinated the management of all Navytactical aircraft programs.

He spent two years as commander ofPMTC before returning to NAVAIR,where he served as vice commander. Heassumed command of the Naval AirWar-fare Center in January 1992.After retiring from active duty in 1994,

Strohsahl was executive manager of theJoint Strike Fighter Program for Boeingin Seattle before returning to VenturaCounty.“Rear Admiral Strohsahl was an out-

standing Naval officer, gentleman andpatriot,” said retired Capt. Jack Dodd,who worked with him at Point Mugu. “Iwas amazed by his wisdom, energy anddedication to the good of the Navy andthe nation.”Strohsahl was a mentor to many.“One of the key pieces of advice he

gameme that I remember even to this dayis, ‘Always have a positive outlook andPlan Bs,” said Dr. Ronald Smiley, directorof Electronic Warfare and Combat Sys-tems for NAVAIR and director of theAvionics Department, Research and En-gineering. “In other words, treat peopleand organizations with respect and goodwill and always have several backup planswhen unexpected issues or challengesarise.”According to the obituary that ran in

the Ventura County Star, a memorial ser-vice will be held at the U.S. Naval Acad-emy at a future date. Contributions maybe made in Strohsahl’s honor to FoodShare Inc. or the American Cancer Soci-ety.

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-tion Battalion (NMCB) 3 have completedan eight-month deployment to Afghani-stan.The Seabees in the advance party were

reunited with family and friends on June9 after being deployed to Afghanistan formore than 220 days. The rest of the bat-talion is expected to fly into Naval BaseVentura County, Point Mugu, before theend of the month.The Seabees of NMCB 3 began their

deployment in October, and once they ar-rived in Afghanistan, they immediatelysplit up into several detachments and re-deployed to various locations throughoutthe country.The battalion’s main body, which con-

sisted of the majority of the Seabees inNMCB 3, deployed to the U.S. MarineCorps’ Camp Leatherneck in SouthernAfghanistan.The Seabees in CampLeatherneck tack-

led the most technically challenging proj-ect of the deployment immediately uponstepping off the plane. They constructedan aircraft staging area for a U.S. Marinehelicopter squadron that was due to arrivelate December. In order for the Marinesto have a safe area to park their helicop-ters, more than 30,000 cubic yards of earthhad to be leveled and graded from hilly,sandy and rocky terrain.NMCB3’s equip-ment operators immediately went into24-hour shift work to accomplish this task.They endured the harsh Afghan winterand completed the project bymid-Decem-ber.A smaller detachment of 90 Seabees,

called Det. 4, deployed north to BagramAir Base and immediately dispatchedmul-tiple, four- to seven-man sized teams allaroundAfghanistan to support CombinedJoint Special Operations Task Force Af-ghanistan (CJSOTF-A). While assignedto CJSOTF-A, Det. 4 built bases andbuildings and greatly improved the qual-ity of many existing bases as well as pro-

vided crucial support for Village StabilityOperations construction projects.“When we fell in to these positions the

troops were sleeping in their ICS’s (smallone-person tents),” said Cmdr. ThomasBestafka, the Det. 4 officer in charge.“What we built took them from living inharsh field conditions to being able to livein buildings with heat, air conditioningand electricity.“Everyone had nothing but thanks and

praise for the work our guys did,” saidBestafka. “We received ceaseless calls ofthanks from the special operations teamsup to the special operations command-ers.”Further south was Det. Payne. Payne’s

30 Seabees tackled the large project of

building an approach ramp for a bridgethat was being placed over the HelmandRiver near CombatOutpost (COP) Payne.This project required removingmore thannine feet of very fine dust and improvingthe road leading to the bridge by placingneo-web material, a state of the art soilstabilization fabric, and gravel. Prior tothe road and bridge construction, the onlyway to cross the river was to attempt afording.Late January, NMCB 3 created a new

detachment that supported other SpecialOperations forces. Det. 2 consisted of 120Seabees from Camp Leatherneck whowere deployed throughout Afghanistan.The Seabees of Det. 2 completed K-

Spans with two-story wood-framed and

electrical buildouts, Southwest Asia huts,tent decks and various infrastructure im-provements. They also constructed anaircraft taxiway.“When we get into the grind of deploy-

ment, it can be easy to think that our jobsare just routine and we sometimes fail tosee how our work fits into the big picture,”said Lt. Andrew Hayes, the Det. 2 officerin charge. “The bottom line is that ourcustomer could not do what they do with-out us. Sure, there are engineering forcesin other military branches, but they arenot as proficient in their respective tradesas we are. There are contractors who cando some of these jobs, but we do it fasterand cheaper. We have proven again andagain why Seabees are the military engi-neer force of choice!”The situation became more dangerous

in February.“In mid-February the 1st Marine Ex-

peditionary Force here in Camp Leather-neck had us refocus our expertise on out-side-the-wire missions,” said Lt. James

Stewart, NMCB 3’s assistant operationsofficer. “That is when we shifted the ma-jority of our projects from being insidethe safety of a base to the danger of out-side the wire.”FromFebruary toApril, NMCB3 com-

pleted its largest outside-the-wire project,called Badger. The Seabees in this detach-ment built two bases and refurbished aroad along the Helmand River in an areathat was known to have heavy insurgentactivity. This project gave theU.S.Marinestwo strongholds to base out of, and itgreatly improved the quality and safety ofthe road along the river.Of the bases that were built by Det.

Badger, COP Ouellette was the largest. Itcould support 250 troops and all of theirequipment, and it included lookout towersand helicopter landing pads.During the deployment NMCB 3 also

sent detachments to Forward OperatingBase Delaram and Dwyer.Throughout the deployment, these Sea-

bees completed 101 construction projectsworth more than $35 million. NMCB 3’s

water well team drilled three water wells.Fourteen combat outposts were built fromthe ground up forU.S.Marine andNATOforces. Seven of the bases that were builtcan sustain 100 to 250 troops and theirequipment.The Seabees also built or refurbished

more than 32 kilometers of road, whichsignificantly increased coalition forces’capability to freely move throughout theregion as well as improve the flow of com-merce for the local Afghani populace.“What we accomplished is mind-bog-

(This story is reprinted with the permis-sion of the Ventura County Star)WASHINGTON — The Navy isn’t

something that immediately comes tomind whenever most people think aboutgroups that are working to protect na-ture’s resources, but Capt. JamesMcHugh says environmental steward-ship is an important part of the cultureat Naval Base Ventura County.“The Navy uses the environment —

we’ve got to make sure we take care ofit,” said McHugh, the base’s command-ing officer. “There’s a perception outthere that the Navy, that the militarydoesn’t really care about the environ-ment. But we do a great job, and I thinkwe do a lot better job than some of theprivate sector does.”TopNavy officials inWashington seem

to agree. For the second time in threeyears, Naval Base Ventura County hasearned national recognition for its con-servation efforts.The base was honored Tuesday, June

7, with the Chief of Naval OperationsEnvironmental Award for natural re-sources conservation and with a separateSecretary of the Navy EnvironmentalAward in the same category. Both awardswere presented during ceremonies at theNavy Memorial and Naval HeritageCenter in Washington, D.C.The annual awards competition rec-

ognizes exceptional environmental stew-ardship by Navy ships and Naval andMarine Corps installations worldwide.All told, 27 winners were selected in 10categories for the Chief of Naval Op-erations awards. Seventeen winners werehonored with the Secretary of the Navyawards.Naval Base Ventura County was cited

for, among other things, a marsh resto-ration program that restored habitat inareas once covered by invasive plants

and for another program that moni-tored southwest pond turtles andmarked them for release.The base also won praise for a pro-

gram that captures and relocates fal-cons, hawks and owls that a present astrike hazard to aircraft and for moni-toring marine mammals, including81,000 adult elephant seals, Californiasea lions and harbor seals.“Being right there on the coast, en-

vironmental (conservation) is very im-portant to me and to the base, withhaving all of the wetlands,” saidMcHugh, who accepted the awardsalong with Joe Montoya, head of thebase environmental division’s conserva-tion branch.At Point Mugu alone, the base main-

tains 2,500 acres of wetlands and worksto keep them as pristine as possible,McHugh said.“Out on San Nicolas Island,” he said,

“we’ve got over 100,000 marine mam-mals out there. It’s just very importantto be able to take care of them and begood stewards of the environment.”Besides the awards, top Navy officials

also gave the base a symbolic green flagin recognition of its conservation ef-forts. McHugh said he will “proudly flythat flag over the base.”

strategic thinking and pure luck were sometimes themost powerful forces affecting the balance of worldwidepower.“Naval aviation had existed for only 30 years,”Win-

ter pointed out. “We were fighting with what wehad.”And what we had were “young, wet-behind-the-ears

pilots flying vintage aircraft.”But we had something else, too. As with the days

after Sept. 11, 2001, we had a drive and a need towin.So when Lt. Cmdr. John CharlesWaldron and his 15

torpedo bombers take off from theUSSHornet (CV-8),break through the cloud cover and see the Japanesebattleships and destroyers, his squadron engages in abattle that will change history forever.“They know they’re going to take fire,”Winter said.

“They’re riding in a hearse.”Exemplifying perseverance, commitment and courage

under fire, they force the Japanese Zeros to take off andengage in a firefight, leaving the carriers vulnerable toattack fromUSSYorktown (CV-5) andUSS Enterprise(CV-6).“If that doesn’t give you goosebumps, you’re not in

tune to the truemessage of the Battle of Midway,”Win-ter said.

Waldron’s squadron of 15 planes was shot down be-fore they could launch a single torpedo. All 30 menwould perish, save one.“But the second wave hit every ship,” Winter said,

and in the ensuing days, 256 Japanese aircraft wouldbe destroyed along with the four carriers.“Lt. Cmdr.Waldron had the guts to fly into the teeth

of adversity,”Winter said. “And I see that today.”He recognized the “raw determination and innovative

spirit” of today’s military personnel.And as happened 69 years ago, when the men who

fought in the Battle of Midway had no idea how muchlonger the war would continue or what the outcomewould be, courage and leadership can still lead to suc-cess.“Honor their legacy,”Winter concluded. “Honor their

legacy so that we can enjoy today.”The ceremony took place in front of Building 1, with

NBVCmilitary personnel standing in formation. Win-ter and Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Richard Cogginsof NBVC placed one wreath on one side of the 9/11Memorial in front of Building 1; Culinary Specialist2nd Class (SW) Joe C. Rubalicado and Culinary Spe-cialist 3rd Class Genevieve Brennick placed the other.The color guard was from the Naval Construction

Training Center, and Lisa Zimmerman of the NavalFacilities Information Technology Center sang the Na-tional Anthem.

and others will bury IEDs with some sortof indicator — some dirt left behind, awire on the ground— and see how manythe students find.“They never find them all,” he said.So Vanessa didn’t feel too badly when

she missed the fake rock and set off theIED.That exercise was George’s favorite part

of the day.“I loved the whole day, but when the

IED went off, that was scary,” he said.Vanessa liked the entire base experi-

ence.“I think it’s given me a head start,” she

said. “I like seeing how people work inthis environment.”McHugh said he enjoyed meeting two

young people who have a strong sense ofwhat they want to do with their lives andare already showing leadership and dedi-cation.“I’m glad that for half a day we can give

them some sense of what’s out there, ofthe opportunities military life can pro-vide,” he said. “And I hope we’ve made itfun.”
