    www.TheLighthouseNews.com

    Question: I have noticed that many people do

    not stop walking or driving during morning colors.

    On my way to work some mornings, I am nearly

    rear-ended by people trying to zip around me as I

    pull to a stop out of respect for the flag ceremony.

    Am I wrong, or is everyone just ignoring proper flag

    etiquette?

    Answer: I have also noticed people ignoring

    proper etiquette during morning and evening col-

    ors. My guess is that people are simply unaware of

    proper etiquette for these longstanding traditions;

    others may not hear the national anthem or taps over

    the base loudspeaker system.

    All personnel are to render proper honors during

    the playing of morning and evening colors. Military

    personnel outdoors, when covered in uniform and

    within earshot, shall face the flag or in the direction

    of the music and salute during the playing of the na-

    tional anthem. Military members not in uniform are

    to stand at attention but do not need to salute. Others

    are to stand quietly until the completion of colors,

    signified by the bugle call Carry On.

    During colors, vehicles within sight or hearing of

    colors shall be stopped. Drivers remain stopped until

    the conclusion of colors. Persons riding in vehicles

    shall remain seated.

    As a reminder to all employees and residents,

    colors are observed onboard Naval Base Ventura

    County every morning at 8 a.m. and every evening at

    sunset.

    April

    In recognition of April being Sexual

    Assault Awareness Month, the Fleet &

    Family Support Center (FFSC) at Naval

    Base Ventura County (NBVC) is once

    again hosting The Clothesline Project.

    The FFSC invites anyone with base ac-

    cess to decorate a T-shirt in remembrance

    of someone who has experienced a sexu-

    al assault or as a statement against the

    crime.

    Whether or not someone has experi-

    enced this crime first-hand, decorating a

    shirt can be a way to voice that this crime

    will not be tolerated in our community,

    said Julie Whirlow, the sexual assault re-

    sponse coordinator for Naval Base Ven-

    tura County.

    T-shirt decorating will take place at the

    FFSC office in the Welcome Center at

    NBVC Port Hueneme from 11 a.m. to 3

    p.m. Thursday, March 27, and at the

    FFSC office at NBVC Point Mugu from

    11 a.m. to 3 p.m.Monday,March 31, and

    Tuesday, April 1. Participants are asked

    to bring their own T-shirt, but paint sup-

    plies are being provided.

    Shirts will be displayed as awareness art

    throughout themonth of April in theWel-

    come Center at NBVC Port Hueneme.

    The Clothesline Project was started in

    Massachusetts in 1990.

    By decorating a shirt, someone who

    has experienced, or known someone who

    has experienced, a sexual assault can

    anonymously express how it has affected

    them or a loved one,Whirlow said. In-

    dividuals can also decorate shirts in sup-

    port of prevention of sexual assault.

    For more information, call Whirlow at

    805-982-6139.

    Clothesline Project recognizes victims

    With this tradition,

    decorating a T-shirt is a

    way to make a statement

    against sexual assault

    TheMarch 12 kickoff breakfast for the

    Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Ac-

    tive Duty Fund Drive, which benefits the

    Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society

    (NMCRS), drew representatives from

    about a dozen commands at NBVC, all

    wanting to find out how they can spread

    the word about both the Society and NB-

    VCs annual campaign.

    This is our opportunity, as a Navy-

    Marine Corps team, to support our own,

    said Capt. Scott Loeschke, chief staff of-

    ficer of the base. When Sailors need sup-

    port, when they need help, this is where

    they can turn but funds are needed to

    back that up.

    JeanneBilliot, director of NMCRSVen-

    tura County, said the groups mission is

    alive and well and needed nowmore than

    ever.

    NMCRS Ventura County provided as-

    sistance to more than 870 local Sailors,

    Marines and their families last year. Inter-

    est-free loans of more than $470,000 were

    disbursed, as well as grants totaling near

    $9,985.

    Lt. Jessie Pamaran said the campaign

    is two-pronged: Get the word out about

    what NMCRS does, and raise funds.

    People cant use the services if they

    dont know about them, he said. Let

    them know.

    But if no money is raised, he added,

    Theyll go dry in about three years.

    The local fund drive website is www.

    nmcrsfunddrive.org/ventura. For more

    information on the organization, call 805-

    982-4409.

    Naval Mobile Construction Battalion

    (NMCB) 5 is currently repaving the de-

    teriorated Heritage Park parking lot at

    Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)

    Port Hueneme.

    Heritage Park is used for dozens of

    small Navy ceremonies each year, includ-

    ing re-enlistments and retirements. The

    parking lot itself is the location for nu-

    merous bake sales and car washes to raise

    funds for such associations as family

    readiness groups and chief petty officer

    associations or for the Seabee Ball.

    According to Equipment Operator 1st

    Class Sean Nelson, project supervisor,

    car washes or other fund-raisers usually

    happened once or twice a week before

    construction started.

    It was time for this evolution to hap-

    pen, Nelson said. The parking lot

    pavement was starting to break away due

    to all of the traffic and normal wear over

    time.

    Completion of the repaving will pro-

    vide preventative maintenance to save the

    base from more expensive repairs in the

    future.

    Currently NMCB 5 has a project crew

    leader and four other Seabees assigned

    to repave the lot.

    The crew leader, Equipment Operator

    2nd Class Chris Hartke, said he and his

    hard charging crew enjoy the training

    theyre getting while repaving the area.

    Its an awesome training opportunity,

    Hartke said. We have lost a lot of skill

    traits over the years, and its great that

    were getting those back.

    The project started Feb. 18 and is

    scheduled for completion by the end of

    May. The cost of the project is

    $77,000.

    Hartke says as long as there arent any

    setbacks, hes confident his crew can fin-

    ish on time.

    There is definitely a sense of pride

    and motivation to get the best quality

    product in a timely manner, he said.

    Military families are familiar with PCS

    moves. On average, a military member

    will move every three years. When the

    PCS orders dont fall in line with the

    academic school year, this can put the

    family in a bit of a dilemma. Does the

    family stay behind or move ahead of the

    military member, or do the students

    switch schools midyear? Sometimes, there

    isnt a choice, and the family must move

    together. When this happens, there are a

    few things to consider when it comes to

    school enrollment.

    While there is a great deal of respon-

    sibility to plan ahead of a move to ensure

    the best school transition, there are pro-

    tections in place to support military-con-

    nected students. One is the Interstate

    Compact.

    The Interstate Compact on Educa-

    tional Opportunity forMilitary Children

    was signed as an agreement between

    states to support military children. All

    but four states Oregon, Minnesota,

    New York and New Hampshire have

    signed this compact, which deals with

    enrollment, placement and attendance,

    eligibility and graduation. For a thorough

    overview, check www.mic3.net.

    Here is one example of how the Inter-

    state Compact can assist military families.

    Beginning in the school year 2014-2015,

    a student must be 5 years old by Sept. 1

    to start kindergarten in California. How-

    ever, many states have earlier age cut-offs;

    for example, some states require the child

    to be 5 by July 1. Fortunately, military

    families are protected by the Interstate

    Compact. So, if a military child turns 5

    in August and begins school in Califor-

    nia, but then PCS orders come and the

    family must move to Indiana, the child

    can enroll in kindergarten midyear even

    though he/she doesnt meet Indianas age

    requirement.

    This is just one of the protections that

    comes from this Interstate Compact.

    For students in kindergarten through

    eighth grade, planning a midyear move

    isnt much different than a summer move.

    Its important to have the childs birth

    certificate, current immunization record

    and a recent report card or unofficial

    school records. Its also important to no-

    tify the teacher and school when you are

    expecting to move so they can plan for

    your childs exit. If you have a child with

    special needs, hand-carry copies of the

    Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or

    504 Plan and ask the school for an exit

    meeting.

    The critical grade levels for a midyear

    move are in high school. As in college, if

    a high school student doesnt complete

    a course, the student cannot get a grade.

    Most high schools are set up on a semes-

    ter system and the course is not complete

    until the end of the semester. It is crucial

    to work with your students counselor at

    his/her current school and at the new

    school to ensure the courses will transfer

    if your family must move mid-semester.

    Most states have different graduation

    requirements, and sometimes, these re-

    quirements can vary among school dis-

    tricts. If students are moving during high

    school, make sure they can fulfill the

    graduation requirements at the school

    they will be attending at the end of their

    12th grade year. Working with the high

    school counselors early in the moving

    process is necessary. Your school liaison

    can help connect you to the school to

    which youll be moving.

    Catholic Priest

    Worship schedule

    One of the blessings of my role as com-

    mand chaplain to Naval Mobile Con-

    struction Battalion (NMCB) 3 is that I

    am involved in advising troops on per-

    sonal and professional relationships.

    Unfortunately, not all of these conver-

    sations are happy. In fact, in a round-

    table of 400 Sailors conducted by the

    chaplain of the Pacific Fleet last Decem-

    ber, 50 percent of the Sailors came from

    broken families and more than half grew

    up without one positive role model.

    These statistics point to the startling

    reality that more and more of us are

    growing up in less than successful rela-

    tionship circumstances.

    I believe that despite the trend toward

    more broken homes and fewer positive

    role models, we need relationships in

    order to thrive, and that relationships

    function in two directions: horizontal

    and vertical.

    The vertical relationship represents

    faith. Most of the troops I talk to admit

    they havent been to their faith group

    service since theyve joined the military.

    The trend, as I am observing at the bat-

    talion level, is that troops have to quick-

    ly adjust to the high speed, low drag

    pace of battalion life, and the practice

    of faith is more of a convenience than a

    need. I am not condemning the pace of

    battalion life; in fact, I think a battalion

    can be the right place for us all to become

    better adults and to learn the value of

    priorities, discipline and hard work.

    I believe that those of us with faith in

    our lives cannot sacrifice engaging our

    faith, but we should apply the values of

    priority, discipline, and hard work to liv-

    ing out our faith. Christ was asked by a

    lawyer who was trying to trick him which

    was the greatest commandment. If you

    know anything about Jewish law you

    know that they have a lot of rules! But

    the most popular are the Ten Command-

    ments given to Moses. Jesus responded,

    You shall love the Lord your God with

    all your heart and with all your soul and

    with all your mind (Matt. 22:37). Jesus

    was telling the lawyer that the entire law

    is based on the worship of God with ev-

    erything that man has.

    As one troop asked me, Where was

    God when I needed him? My answer

    was, Hes been here the entire time just

    waiting for you to let him into your life.

    Faith is an important vertical relation-

    ship that gives each Sailor a family to

    belong to and a positive role model to

    follow.

    The horizontal relationship represents

    the friends and peers around us. My gen-

    eration connected at work and church

    through face-to-face conversations; we

    did not have the advantages of modern

    technology. In fact, I was in college when

    cell phones became popular! But now

    the newest generation of adults has

    grown up with smart phones, Facebook,

    Twitter and YouTube. All of these ap-

    plications are wonderful when used prop-

    erly to stay connected to our friends and

    family and access information on the

    spot. But it has created a shallow percep-

    tion of relationships.

    I looked at my Facebook profile, and

    I have 418 friends! But I probably only

    talk to 15 of them on a regular basis, and

    most of them are family. So that means

    I have meaningful conversations with

    only a handful of my 418 friends on a

    regular basis, either face-to-face or by

    phone. Wow! I am a terrible Facebook

    friend!

    The prophet Jeremiah said, Two are

    better than one, because they have a good

    reward for their toil. For if they fall, one

    will lift up his fellow. And though a

    man might prevail against one who is

    alone, two will withstand him a three-

    fold cord is not quickly broken (Eccl.

    4:9-10, 12).

    I believe you and I are created to suc-

    ceed through relationships. So I like

    Facebook and Twitter, but my success in

    life is not based on the number of fol-

    lowers or friends I have in social media,

    but in the number of personal friends

    and relationships I engage with faceto-

    face every day. If I had 418 friends with

    whom I engaged face-to-face every day,

    I would be strong and resilient every

    day!

    Go out and engage your faith and your

    peers in meaningful communication, and

    experience the value they add to your

    life.

    Social media cant hold a candle to face-to-face friendships

    With 140 people showing up to run or

    walk 3.1 miles, the Sexual Assault Aware-

    ness Month 5K proved to be the most

    successful lunchtime run so far this

    year.

    The run took place Thursday, March

    13, and started and ended at the Bee Hive

    Gym at Naval Base Ventura County

    (NBVC) Port Hueneme.

    The Fleet & Family Support Center

    (FFSC) had a table set up near the start-

    ing line where information was available

    on sexual assault awareness and preven-

    tion.

    Rosie Flores and Diane Alvarez of the

    FFSC staffed the table and helped vol-

    unteers hand out water bottles embla-

    zoned with the Sexual Assault Prevention

    and Awareness (SAPR) logo.

    Like many of the participants, Delia

    Sanchez and Teresa Duenas, both of

    whomwork at the Naval SurfaceWarfare

    Center, Port HuenemeDivision, said they

    were running to support the cause and

    to get some exercise.

    Lt. Cmdr. Robert Allen of Navy Cargo

    Handling Battalion 14 finished first with

    a time of 20 minutes even.

    The next lunchtime 5K will be April

    17, an Earth Day 5K that will start and

    end at Family Beach at NBVC Point

    Mugu. Registration starts at 11 a.m., and

    the run begins at 11:30 a.m. For more

    Holding with tradition, theNaval Con-

    struction Training Center (NCTC) cele-

    brated the 72nd birthday of theU.S.Navy

    Seabees at Stingers Field at Naval Base

    Ventura County, Port Hueneme.

    Every year we look forward to cele-

    brating our heritage by remembering the

    birthday of the Seabees onMarch 5,said

    Cmdr.Daniel Cook,NCTC commanding

    officer. Its an awesome tradition and

    always a lot of fun.

    Students and staff participated in a

    number of activities, including softball,

    flag football and Ultimate Frisbee.

    Construction mechanic students en-

    joyed a spirited game of kickball between

    the Navy and Air Force.

    ConstructionMechanic 1st Class Carl

    Gayton, an instructor at NCTC, volun-

    teered to sit in the dunk tank while stu-

    dents and staff took turns in hopes of

    getting him wet.

    A-School students competed in a Sea-

    bee history-themed trivia game for priz-

    es that were donated by Lisa Luna and

    Dolores Livingston on behalf of the

    NBVC commissary.

    Angela Mora, NCTC environmental

    coordinator and one of the event organiz-

    ers, said she welcomed the chance to sup-

    port a project that brought joy to Sailors

    training to become Seabees.

    As aU.S. Army retiree, now employed

    as a Department of the Navy civilian, I

    am very fortunate to be able to witness

    the professionalism, dedication and pos-

    itive attitude of our new Sailors who are

    training to become Bees,she said. With

    the support from the entire command

    staff and theNBVC commissary, we were

    able to bring a big smile to our young

    Sailors faces and let them know that we

    were thinking of them and wishing them

    a Happy Seabee Birthday. I was very

    happy and proud to be a part of this mo-

    mentous event.

    More than 190 students and staff at-

    tended the event.

    Cook took the opportunity to recog-

    nize the dedication and service of the

    NCTC civilians by presenting awards for

    length of service to Beverly Copeland for

    45 years; Chris Cribbs, Yolanda Simental

    and RubenDedicatoria for 25 years; and

    Lorie Graves, Wayne Ayala, Christina

    Ford,Max Lopez and VirginiaMcCown

    for five years.

    Seabees, civilians and spouses

    from all across Southern Califor-

    nia attended the 72nd annual

    Seabee Ball at theRonaldReagan

    Presidential Library in Simi Val-

    ley to show pride for their tight-

    knit Seabee community.

    Hosted by Lt. Cmdr. Michael

    Guzzi, Naval Mobile Construc-

    tion Battalion 4 operations offi-

    cer, with Capt. Dean Tufts, com-

    modore of Naval Construction

    Group (NCG) 1, and guest speak-

    er Pacific Fleet Master Chief

    Marco Ramirez, this years cer-

    emony had 1,230 people attend-

    ing, making it the largest Seabee

    Ball in Southern California his-

    tory, according toReaganLibrary

    staff.

    Hundreds of tables were ar-

    ranged for the guests to enjoy the

    full ceremony. The dimmed light-

    ing and faint sound of classical

    music surrounded the guests as

    they socialized.

    It was a great experience

    watching all these Seabees come

    together and get reacquainted,

    said Construction Mechanic 1st

    Class Chris Schulze. Some of

    these people you havent seen in

    years!

    During the event, Guzzi ex-

    plained the traditions of the

    Fallen Soldiers Table and hon-

    ored retired Seabees who attend-

    ed. On hand to receive recogni-

    tion was Jim Daniels, a Seabee

    master chief who served from

    1942 to 1969. He is a veteran of

    World War II, the Korean War

    and the Vietnam War, where he

    received a Purple Heart. Follow-

    ing recognitions, the host called

    up the oldest Seabee, Chief Petty

    Officer Bill Belitz of NMCB 18,

    and youngest Seabee, Construc-

    tionman Trevor Barnett of the

    NavalConstructionTrainingCen-

    ter. They cut the Seabee birthday

    cake with the two guest speakers,

    another long-held Navy tradi-

    tion.

    Meeting the youngest Seabee

    was thehighlightof mynight,said

    Tufts, who is responsible for more

    than 7,000 Pacific Fleet Seabees.

    ConstructionmanTrevorBarnett,

    an 18-year-old A-school student,

    was called up on stage to speak in

    front of 1,200 people. He did a

    great job, and I look forward to

    seeing him in ourNavalConstruc-

    tion Force.

    When the ceremonial part of the

    event concluded, the guests were

    invited to stay and celebrate in a

    contemporary atmosphere.Many

    took advantage of the dance

    floor.

    This years Seabee Ball defi-

    nitely made me look forward to

    next years, said Schulze, who en-

    joyed the ball with his wife Leah.

    For 50 years, the E-2 has done something no other carrier-based aircraft can do, and thats take a very capable radar system to 25,000 feet, hundreds of miles forward from the carrier, and

    manage the airspace in peace and conflict. The radar, radios and datalinks have gotten better over the years, and with each generation, the Navy has learned how to leverage those capabilities to our advantage.

    With the introduction of the E-2D, I see the ties between the Hawkeye and other fleet assets growing closer. Other fleet assets will be able to leverage

    the capabilities and situational awareness of the Hawkeye making our carrier strike groups more lethal and more survivable.

    When I first came to the E-2 program, I was given a Mission Needs Statement written in the 1960s. That document basically said the E-2 needed

    to meet the airborne and surface surveillance needs of the fleet. It was true then, and it is still true today. It articulates the direction and continuity of purpose that has guided the community for 50 plus years.

    On Jan. 19, 1964, the U.S. Navy delivered the first E-2 Hawkeye aircraft to Carrier Airborne Early Squadron (VAW) 11, becoming the Navys primary specifically designed all-weather, carrier-based airborne early warning, command and control aircraft. This year, the E-2/C-2 Airborne Tactical Data System Program Office (PMA-231) celebrates the 50th anniversary of the delivery and has designated 2014 the Year of the Hawkeye.

    The E-2 continues its long history of developing and deploying mission-critical capability to the fleet. Through the years, the continued dedication of government and

    industry partners produced game-changing improvements pacing the way we fight. As the Navy continues the technology improvements to implement integrated warfare, the E-2 leads the way. A job well done!

    YEAR OF THE HAWKEYE:

    Its an exciting time for all of us in the E-2 community! The introduction of the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye will provide significantly improved target detection and

    tracking capability in overwater, littoral and overland environments. As PMA-231 strives to bring this capability to the fleet, I witness, every day, the unwavering dedication of our acquisition professionals supporting the E-2 mission, and I am blessed to work with each of them.

    Retired Capt. Robert LaBelle

    The E-2 has always been the central node of the air wing and strike groups due to its natural abilities in command and control. With a supposed

    pivot to the Pacific, the aircraft will have even more importance to the country since it has the ability to cover a vast area of surveillance and contribute to precise targeting with only one aircraft.

    They want to work. They have peo-

    ple skills and are more well-rounded in

    general.

    Employers who have hired veterans

    often cite the strong work ethic de-

    manded by the military, she said.

    Their dependability is what they no-

    tice first, she said. They like the fact

    that they follow orders and that theyre

    more easily molded because theyre used

    to having authority over them.

    But in some cases, those same traits

    can work against someone whos look-

    ing for a job.

    Because the military is so regiment-

    ed, some corporations might think vet-

    erans lack creativity, she said.

    Thats one of the reasons she coach-

    es job-seekers to talk about the skills

    they have in a way civilians can under-

    stand.

    So many people have trouble trans-

    lating military jargon, she explained.

    Youve got to focus on the job and

    explain how your experience makes you

    the best person for that job.

    The career fair is open to anyone with

    base access, including spouses.

    Tirella said openings are available in

    the following areas:

    Transportation. Both the trucking

    and train industries are hiring, Tirella

    said. Railroads are very vet-friend-

    ly.

    Telecommunications. Inside sales

    jobs are available, she said. And this

    is just one example of an industry thats

    looking to hire people who can fix

    things technicians.

    Construction.

    Law enforcement.

    Staffing agencies.

    Manufacturing.

    Health care.

    Food and beverage.

    Hospitality. Major hotel chains are

    looking for everything, she said. There

    are many military-friendly companies

    that need everything from administra-

    tive assistants to CEOs. Its all over the

    board.

    ments and awareness and understanding

    of the military justice process.

    Lee is one of 29 victims legal counsel

    worldwide who represent those alleging a

    sexual assault through the investigation

    andmilitary justice process, advocate their

    legal rights and interests and, when ap-

    propriate, appear in court on their behalf.

    These military attorneys are not in the

    chain of command of anyone involved in

    the allegations, the investigations or the

    potential prosecutions.

    The Navy is committed to protecting

    the rights and interests of victims of sex-

    ual assault and ensuring the administra-

    tion of a fair, transparent and efficient

    military justice system that guarantees due

    process for the accused and promotes

    good order and discipline, Vice Adm.

    Nanette M. DeRenzi, Judge Advocate

    General of the Navy, said at the time the

    program was announced. The Navys

    Victims Legal Counsel Program comple-

    ments the Navys broader efforts to care

    for victims of sexual assault by providing

    them with legal advice and assistance

    throughout the military justice process.

    Those who come forward with allega-

    tions of sexual assault are immediately

    offered Sexual Assault Prevention and

    Response services, including counseling,

    medical care and advocacy services. Now

    those who come forward will also be of-

    fered VLC services.

    Julie Whirlow, the sexual assault re-

    sponse coordinator for NBVC, said the

    presence of a VLCwill provide a sense of

    empowerment to those who often feel

    confused and overwhelmed.

    This gives the

    victim a sense of

    control, she said.

    The VLC can be

    present during in-

    terviews by theNa-

    val Criminal Inves-

    tigative Service

    (NCIS), during

    court proceedings

    although not at

    the prosecutors

    tableand during

    sentencing.

    The attorney-client privilege exists

    with Lee and those she advises. Their

    communication is protected.

    Matthew Clement, the supervisory

    special agent at theNCIS office at NBVC,

    said investigators welcome the establish-

    ment of the VLC program and Lees ar-

    rival on base.

    Were hoping this will help the victim

    feel more comfortable through the inves-

    tigative process, which can be arduous

    at times, he said. The VLC is in a po-

    sition to lessen the burden on the vic-

    tim.

    Lee received her bachelors degree from

    Rutgers College in New Jersey and her

    law degree from Brooklyn Law School.

    She was admitted to practice before the

    New York State Bar in 2001.

    Lees office and the Fleet & Family

    Support Center are in Bldg. 1169, NBVC

    Port Hueneme. Lee can be reached at

    805-982-3099 or by email at myoung.
