The military tax-assis-

People who have used
the center before will no-

It is way different,said
Kevin Carey, a Camarillo

at the center last year, help-

pare their state and federal

First of all, the service is
no longer free for everyone.

Question: The state of California does not require
that military members register their vehicles and
submit to a smog check when they move here. When
registering my vehicle at Pass and ID, they said I
needed to submit a smog check. If California doesnt
require military members to smog check their car, why
should Naval Base Ventura County?
Answer: Thank you for allowing me to address this.
The requirement the staff at Pass and ID is enforcing
is not a Naval Base Ventura County requirement, but
instead is a Chief of Naval Operations requirement.
OPNAVINST 11200.5D, Motor Vehicle Traffc
Supervision, covers a variety of topics, but Chapter
3 is devoted to vehicle registration standards. If you
live, work or frequent a U.S. military installation, you
are required to register your vehicle. To do so, you
must have a valid drivers license, valid registration,
and you must comply with the safety and air quality
requirements of the state where the facility is located,
rather than where your vehicle is registered.
Not requiring you to register your vehicle in Cali-
fornia is a courtesy to a military member. It comes with
the understanding that the military will enforce certain
set standards; it is not a pass to avoid meeting state
standards. I realize that it can be expensive to get a
vehicle tested, repaired and retested, but its the right
thing to do legally and environmentally.
You can visit http://dmv.ca.gov/vr/smogfaq.htm for
more information about Californias smog testing stan-
dards. There are even links to programs that can help
determine repair costs and/or buy back older cars that
cant pass inspection.
Keep the questions and feedback coming! You can
submit via this forum at lighthouse@navy.mil, online
using the COs Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.
mil/ventura/index.htm or at www.Facebook.com/Naval-
BaseVenturaCounty. You can also follow us on Twitter

NBVC Public Affairs
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC)
staff hosted a visit from one of the new-
est members of Congress and the House
Veterans Affairs Committee Jan. 29.
U.S. Rep. Julia Brownley, who repre-
sents Californias 26th Congressional
District, in which NBVC is situated, vis-
ited several military and veterans service
providers in Ventura County during a
visit to her home district last month.
For Brownley, the visit was about get-
ting a feel for what kinds of services tran-
sitioning military members and veterans
are receiving and where services can be
improved.
Im newly elected to Congress,
Brownley said, noting that she was ap-
pointed to the House Veterans Affairs
Committee and is the ranking member
of the subcommittee on veterans health.
I have a lot to learn. Not only do I want
to understand whats going on for veter-
ans and military here in Ventura County,
but I want to take that knowledge and
help veterans across the country.
After a briefing regarding the revamped
transition assistance program, now called
Transition GPS because it focuses on
goals, plans and success, Brownley toured
FFSC at NBVC Port Hueneme with
Capt. David Sasek, NBVCs chief staff
officer, and Laura Hamilton, FFSCdirec-
tor.
Hamilton discussed the types of pro-
grams and services available at FFSC for
military members and their families be-
yond basic transition services, including
financial planning classes and counseling
services for the entire family.
I hope that this is the first in a series
of meetings, Brownley said. As a new-
ly sworn-in member of Congress, I have
quite a learning curve, and I want to be
sure we have good services for veterans.
I want to be vigilant.

As part of the 21st Century Sailor and
Marine initiative, the Chief of Naval Op-
erations released guidance Jan. 22 regard-
ing the use of hand-held alcohol detec-
tion devices (ADDs) for on-duty Sailors
and military members assigned to Navy
units.
OPNAV Instruction 5350.8 establishes
the policies and procedures for the use
of ADDs, but leaves individual imple-
mentation plans up to unit command-
ers.
We wont receive these devices before
the end of April, first of May,said Chief
Electronics Technician Randy Eddington,
Naval Base Ventura Countys drug and
alcohol programadvisor (DAPA). Right
now, were working with the Skipper to
develop a plan for how the installation
will use this new tool.
ADDs will add to the commands edu-
cation and prevention tools, rather than
usurp them, Eddington adds. Nor will
they be used for punitive action.
Our focus is prevention and treatment,
not punishment, he explained.
According to the instruction, a blood
alcohol count (BAC) of 0.04 is the bench-
mark for determining readiness to
safely perform work. Those found meet-
ing or exceeding that benchmark reading
may be referred to the DAPA and will be
relieved of duty and held on station un-
til their BAC drops to a level safe for
travel. For underage Sailors or those who
have completed alcohol rehabilitation
programs, the benchmark is a BAC of
0.02.
Sailors in a leave or liberty status are
not subject to ADD testing under this
instruction.
More guidance regarding implementa-
tion and testing procedures will be issued
on a command-by-command basis at the
discretion of each units commanding
officer.

Every year around January and Febru-
ary, teachers and students begin preparing
for science fairs. That means parents
should be preparing as well.
Science fairs are a great opportunity for
parents and children to work together on
a potentially fun project. In addition to
the benefits of family time, enjoying sci-
ence can be equally important.
Although much of the primary years of
education are spent on reading and writ-
ing, sparking an interest in science is
critical to students. Here are some reasons
why:
Engaging curiosity
From a very early age, children want to
know how things work. The ever impor-
tant question, Why?is linked to a childs
innate curiosity. As children grow older,
they often lose that inquisitiveness if it
isnt fostered. Children are so often told
what is correct and incorrect. After some
time, they stop asking why and just accept
what theyve been told. Science allows
them to continue to ask why.
When children are naturally curious is
the perfect time to get them interested in
science. Science fuels their curiosity, which
gives them ideas, skills, resources and po-
tential future career choices.
Understanding everyday life
Many of our daily experiences involve
science. Cooking and baking, kicking and
throwing, running and jumping, growing
fruits and vegetables and understanding
how technologies work are examples of
science in our everyday lives. Understand-
ing science helps kids appreciate and relate
to the world around them.
Today, we rely on science much more
than we did 20 or 30 years ago. Technol-
ogy is science. Innovations in technology
have helped us to communicate with each
other using the Internet, satellites and cell
phones. These advances in technology help
us to be more efficient in our everyday
lives, providing us with the practical tools
we need to advance. When we think ahead
to the world our children will be facing as
adults, technology will play a large part
in their everyday lives, and its important
that they be prepared.
Solving problems
Allowing students to come up with their
own answer to the ever important Why?
allows them to be problem solvers. They
must use their own critical thinking skills
to find and research the answer. This is
the scientific method in its most natural
and simple form. Even if the answer is not
always correct, allowing them to have the
opportunity to consider an answer allows
them to think critically and creatively.
Through time and experience, they will
find the correct answer, but not if they are
never allowed to.
For science fair project ideas, take a look
at the following websites:

And when he shakes his mane, we shall
have spring again.
Mr. Beaver in C. S. Lewis
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
C. S. Lewis Narnia is a magical land that
is always cold. The White Witch has kept
Narnia under her spell, creating a perma-
nent season of snow, ice and death. It was
always winter and never Christmas in
Narnia. That was until Aslan came back
to bring freedom and shake his mane.
Like Jesus, Aslan the lion king represents
freedomfromdeaths snare andrelease into
joy. When Aslan is on the move in Narnia,
winter begins to melt and life comes into
bloom.
For us in the real world, Lent is very
similar.
Lent means springtime, and it marks
our exodus from winter into the dawn of
spring. For us as Christ followers, Lent
reminds us that Jesus is on the move and
the joyous season of spring is here. He will
provide for us a crown of beauty instead
of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of
mourning, and the garment of praise in-
stead of a spirit of despair (Isaiah 60:3).
The joyous season
Our culture has shaped us into people
who, so often, appreciate instant gratifica-
tion over long-term satisfaction. Many of
us think, If it takes too much time, it isnt
worthit.However, the seasonof Lent calls
us to be patient and wait in fasting.
Lent reminds us of the journey the
journey Christ took to the cross and our
own journey alongside him. Lent calls us
to a holiness that only comes through re-
solve. Lent challenges us to deny instant
and embrace process.This joyous season
of Lent shapes our character toward the
reconciliation between the suffering of
death and the resurrection of life.
The original 40 Days of Purpose
Lent is the original 40 Days of Purpose.
It is about spending time meditating on
suffering and life and discovering the joy
of both. For Christians since the 4th cen-
tury, the Lenten season has taken on dif-
ferent meanings, yet the purpose has re-
mained the same: to remember Christs
journey toward death on the cross, and to
embrace the new life we all find in his res-
urrection.
Lent is a 40-day season (not counting
Sundays) beginningonAshWednesdayand
concluding on Maundy Thursday, the be-
ginning of Christs passion. It is a season
where we, with Christ, fast and empty our
lives of impurities, shaking off everything
that hinders us from the race (Hebrews
12:1).
The fast lifes slow fast
When we fast and deny ourselves privi-
leges that we are used to having, time
seems to move slowly. As the length of a
fast builds an appreciation for that which
is being denied, we become a more refined
and pure person. Jesus knew this, and his
fast not only prepared him for ministry
toward the cross, but also empowered him
to stand in the face of Satans tempta-
tion.
Why Lent? And why now? Because ev-
erything about our culture screams com-
placency. Our adversary, Satan, wants
nothing more than for Gods people to
forget the Cross of Christ. Satan wants us
to forget the significance of Christs
death.
Lent is about the resolute purpose of
remembering that Jesus has come and
shaken his mane. Gods springtime is
here, and Satans winter has melted.
Why Lent? Why now? Its our exodus from winter

January as part of the Scientist to Sea program.
By Renee Hatcher
NAWCWD Public Affairs
Five Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons
Division (NAWCWD) employees recent-
ly returned from visits aboard two U.S.
Navy ships with increased excitement for
their work and even more appreciation for
the warfighter.
The visits were through the Scientist to
Sea (STS) program, an effort to let scien-
tists and engineers experience firsthand
the environment in which the systems they
develop are used and to gain a better un-
derstanding of the challenges faced by
warfighters when deployed at sea.
We want to give our folks an opportu-
nity early in their careers so as they prog-
ress, the knowledge gained from the STS
experience can play a critical role in their
approach to meeting the Navys needs,
said Jerry Smith, China Lakes Engineer
and Scientist Development Program site
coordinator and STS manager.
The 3rd Fleet out of San Diego offers
STS opportunities to NAWCWD on an
as-available basis. Smith said these oppor-
tunities generally come about when ships
are preparing for deployment and are go-
ing on work-up cruises for a few days.
This gives our young scientists and
engineers a chance to see for themselves
what its like being on a ship,Smith said.
They get a feel for how the operational
Navy works at sea and what the conditions
are really like for the warfighter.
Smith said there is not a set schedule
for ship visits but opportunities have in-
creased recently. There were two trips in
the last two months.
Chris Sibrel spent three and a half days
on USS Boxer (LHD-4) in December. A
mechanical engineer in the Precision At-
tack Weapon Systems Technical Project
Office, Sibrel said he came back to China
Lake with a better understanding of ship
operations and an appreciation for the
long hours the Sailors work.
As engineers in a lab, we think things
are fairly easy to operate, Sibrel said.
What we need to remember are the con-

Dozens of people who have volunteered
through the years at the Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) office of the Navy-
Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS)
dropped by Wednesday, Jan. 23, to cele-
brate the organizations 109th birthday.
NMCRS was formed in 1904 by a small
group that wanted to help the widows and
orphans of fallen Sailors and Marines. It
has since evolved into a worldwide orga-
nization that offers emergency financial
assistance to active duty and retired mem-
bers of the Navy and Marine Corps and
their eligible family members.
This is a volunteer-centered organiza-
tion, with 99 percent of the staff made up
of those who give of their time, said Os-
car Ramos, director of the NBVC office.
We are here today to celebrate the vol-
unteers success in fulfilling the societys
mission.
The volunteers attending the potluck
described themselves as a close-knit but
welcoming group, and Ramos agreed.
They all bring lunch, he said as he
nibbled on a seven-layer dip. The more
volunteers, the more food!
Liz DeNeui, whose husband, Jim, is a
retired Marine and police officer, started
volunteering in the front office about a
year and a half ago.
I love serving the clientele, and I love
learning, she said.
Scott Council started volunteering in
March after leaving a 13-year Navy career.

couple attended the luncheon along with
their 2-week-old baby, Sean.
I didnt know a lot about it when I
first got here, he said of the NMCRS.
But Ive enjoyed the chance to talk with
other adults and help people.
Hes appreciated the flexible schedule
available to volunteers, especially ones
like him who are juggling college, father-
hood and being married to someone who
works full-time.
NMCRS is holding a volunteer orien-
tation at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20,

VR-55
The Minutemenof Fleet Logistics Sup-
port Squadron (VR) 55, led by the com-
manding officer, Cmdr. Christopher J.
McAnally, recently completed six months
of logistics support to U.S. forces in Eu-
rope.
Staging out of Naval Air Station Sigo-
nella, Italy, VR-55 flew 847 flight hours
while transporting more than 1.1 million
pounds of cargo and 1,218 passengers to
destinations in the European and African
theaters, such as Germany, Greece, Croatia
and Liberia.
One particular mission proved to be
unique when a request was submitted to
transport the U.S. Navy Band to Paris for
the Fourth of July celebration at the U.S.
Embassy. The crew landed at Le Bourget
airport, known for hosting the famous
Paris Air Showas well as being the landing
site of Charles Lindberghs historic solo
transatlantic crossing in 1927.
Later in the detachment, VR-55 was
tasked to assist in the defense support of
the American Embassy and Consulate in
Libya after the assassination of four Amer-
icans in Benghazi, Libya. The Minutemen
transported time-sensitive, mission-critical
supplies and personnel in order to ensure
the safety of the remaining American State
Department andother key government per-
sonnel.
When the nation calls, you do not hesi-
tate to pick up the phone, said Lt. Cmdr.
Jeremy Andes, the VR-55 aircraft com-
mander.
The six-monthdetachment toItaly ended
Nov. 18.
Operating four C-130Taircraft fromNa-
val Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, VR-
55 provides around-the-clock support to
deployedU.S. Navyships, submarines, Navy
SEALs, aviation detachments and Marine
units. Withtheir ability totake off andland
on short runways and unprepared surfaces,
VR-55s aircraft provide the unique capabil-
ity of delivering cargo to destinations not
commonly serviced by conventional jets.
Many destinations that were visited during
this detachment called upon the diverse ca-
pabilities of the C-130Ttoeffectivelyexecute
tasking from theater commanders.
VR-55 falls under Commander, Fleet Lo-
gistics Support Wing, the Navys largest
wing, which is the primary operator of lo-
gistics aircraft for the Navy. The wing tasks
detachments to Japan, Italy and Bahrain.
The wings squadrons also fly logistics sup-
port missions worldwide andthroughout the
United States.

Allyson Mae Thomas, 16, the daughter
of Cynthia and Command Master Chief
Charles Thomas of the Civil Engineer
Corps Officers School, took home a bi-
cycle Wednesday, Jan. 30, for winning first
place in the Winter Wonderland Teen Cen-
ter Essay Contest.
Sponsored by Child Youth Programs,
the contest invited youngsters 12 to 18
years old to write on the topic: How will
you be the change in 2013?
The Hueneme High School sophomore,
who wants to enter the pre-med program
at University of California-Davis, said the
prompt was inspiring.
Plus, she added, Im good at writ-
ing.
Heres her essay:
Be the change you want to see in the
world. Mahatma Gandhi states that we
should always try and act how we want
the world be. In 2013, our country can
change drastically. The view of ourselves
and others is at an all time low. The way
we see ourselves affects how we see each
other. Racismis a big divider in my school,
but I am sure it happens in other states,
schools, and communities as well. Some
students at my school dont talk to other
students just because of their skin color
or the way they talk (accents). Our coun-
try can change completely by having par-
ents teach their children not to judge
people by the color of their skin, but by
their character instead. Parents not letting
their children be raised with a racist out-
look on life and people can change the
world entirely.
The way people view themselves is just
as important as how they view others.
Some people see themselves as fat, ugly,
or boring when in reality they arent any
of those things. The reason that people
think of themselves in this way is because
of other people telling them so. Most
people tell others rude or hurtful things
because they think lowly of themselves.
The change in the world can start with
just one single person. It is like dominoes,
one will start and the others will follow
behind them. One person being kinder to
others and not judging them by skin col-
or can start a chain reaction. Another
person could see this single person being
kind to someone else, same colored as
them or not, and be influenced to spread
that kindness in a different situation. All
over the world there are people who make
crude comments to other people and that
can all be changed just by starting with
one person.
Never think that you cannot do any-
thing to make a change because you are
only one person. One person can change
the world. For example, Martin Luther
King Jr. was just one man and he gave
rights to people of color. He spoke aloud
about the message of equality for all. His
dream was to see a day where all people
were treated equally, no one better than
another. That was a long time ago before
any Twitter, email, Facebook or texting.
The message spread fast just by word of
mouth. It all started with a single man and
a simple idea. He just worked hard at it
and kept going, even when others did not
think it would work or actually start a
reaction like it did. Because of Martin
Luther King Jr. people are now treated
equally and justly. Just imagine the change
you could make in todays world!

PASO ROBLES Nearly 400 Seabees
from Naval Mobile Construction Battal-
ion (NMCB) 3 completed a vital step in
deployment preparation last month after
qualifying on five different combat weap-
ons systems.
According to Chief Warrant Officer 2
Richard Anglin, the training events of-
ficer in charge, participants safely oper-
ated the M240B and Mk2 .50-caliber
machine guns, the Mk19 and M203 gre-
nade launchers and the AT4 rocket
launcher.
When deployed, we are responsible to
provide our own security our Army
and Marine Corps counterparts rely on
that ability and dont see us as an element
needing their defense,said Anglin. These
weapons are part of the defensive layers

great effort by our Seabees.
The weapons allow Seabees to engage
enemy combatants at greater distances and
in larger quantities than the standard issue
M4 or M16 semi-automatic weapons.
Each of the M240B and Mk2 .50-caliber
machine guns has a maximum effective
range of up to 1,800 meters.
The Mk19 grenade launcher can engage
pockets of enemies at 2,212 meters with
a blast radius of 15 meters.
In contrast to the Mk19, which is posi-
tioned on a tripod, the M203 is a person-
nel-carried grenade launcher that fits
underneath either the M4 or M16. It car-
ries a maximum effective range of 350
meters with the same blast radius as the
Mk19.
Unlike any of the machine guns or gre-
nade launchers, the anti-tank AT4 is a
hand-carried rocket launcher with a max-
imum effective range equal to the M203,
but it can penetrate heavily armored ve-
hicles and boasts a 65-meter blast radi-
us.
The AT4s kinetic power all but hypno-
tized Builder Constructionman (SCW)
Michael Dorsey.
It has a really big boom!said Dorsey.
You can feel the force thump your chest
and see a good-sized mushroom cloud
upon contact. Its nice!
The weapons familiarization and qual-
ifications event is a critical step in prepar-
ing to deploy. Following completion,
NMCB 3 will participate in a graded field
training exercise (FTX) that determines
whether or not they are ready to put boots
on ground. Ensuring the Seabees are con-
fident and ready before the exercise plac-
es NMCB 3 in the best possible position
to succeed.
When Im gearing up to take charge
of whichever weapon Im assigned to op-
erate, I feel ready more than ready,said
Equipment Operator 3rd Class (SCW)
Izzy Hidalgo. I knowI can help my fellow
Seabees if we take fire, and I feel com-
pletely secure that the person next to me
has the same knowledge. Thanks to this
training, I feel 100 percent confident that
we are all capable warfighters, and I know
we will smoke FTX.

U.S. Navy
The U.S. Navy Marksmanship Team
(USNMT) is looking for newmembers to
participate in Navy and interservice rifle
and pistol matches. All active-duty and
reserve Sailors are welcomed and encour-
aged to participate.
Sailors receive limited small arms train-
ing as they process through Navy Indi-
vidual Augmentee Training at various U.S.
Army training centers, said Cmdr. Mick
Glancey, USNMT officer in charge. All
Sailors serving IA/GSA tours are issued
a service rifle (M-16) or a service pistol
(M9); some receive both prior to deploy-
ment. Small arms marksmanship is a ba-
sic fundamental skill set all our Sailors
are required to possess.
The USNMT is the leading proponent
of small arms marksmanship and safety
training for U.S. Navy personnel. Each
year, the team conducts the U.S. Fleet
(Atlantic and Pacific) Rifle and Pistol
Matches, where hundreds of Sailors are
trained in service rifle and service pistol
marksmanship. Sailors participating in
fleet matches represent their commands
in individual and teamevents, earn marks-
manship medals and badges and qualify
to stand armed watches aboard ships and
at other commands.
USNMT also conducts the annual All
Navy (East and West) Rifle and Pistol
Championships, in which the top 100 Sail-
ors who have fired qualifying scores in
fleet matches compete. As members of the
rifle and pistol teams, the top 20 Sailors
from each coast represent the Navy in the
annual Inter Service (I/S) Rifle and Pistol
Matches, where the best of the best
come to compete from the Army, Navy,
Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.
This years I/S Pistol Championships will
be held June 14-21 at Fort Benning, Ga.,
while the I/S Rifle Championships will be
July 15-23 at Marine Corps Base Quan-
tico, Va. The Civilian Marksmanship
Programs National Rifle and Pistol
Matches and the National Rifle Associa-
tions National Rifle and Pistol Champi-
onships are held in July and August at
Camp Perry, Ohio.
Both fleet matches begin with classroom
and range training to familiarize shooters
of all skill levels with safety and proper
practices on the range as well as the fun-
damentals of marksmanship. Then the
shooting starts. There are warm-up match-
es before the 1000-point rifle matches fired
at distances of 200, 300 and 500 yards and
the 1000 point pistol matches fired one-
handed from 25 and 50 yards.
Competitors also shoot in both pistol
and rifle excellence-in-competition (EIC)
matches. EIC competitions are qualifica-
tion matches in which competitors earn
leg points toward the Distinguished
Marksman and the Distinguished Pistol
Shot badges.
We want to get the word out to every-
body, said Glancey. We want more new
shooters to come out and participate in
the matches.
Sailors do not have to be experienced
shooters to benefit from competitive
shooting, nor do they even need to own
firearms.
Throughout the match season, Naval
Sea Systems Command Crane Division
provides an armorers van with match
grade rifles, pistols, ammunition and a
workshop where a group of veteran gun-
smiths build and maintain these precision
firearms for Navy shooters. They even
have all the small gear for matches like
spotting scopes, shooting coats, mats and
folding stools used to carry gear up and
down the 600-yard rifle range.
Most shooters buy their own gear once
they get involved in the sport, but if you
dont already own the guns and gear, its
best to try competing before you buy so
youre sure of getting what you need,said
Lt. Eric Palmer, the West Coast match
director who got his start like most Navy
shooters he heard about a match and
decided he wanted to shoot.
Weve had shooters shoot their whole
careers with a van rifle,said Master Chief
Utilities Constructionman Scott Hancock.
They just keep track of the rifle number
and shoot the same one at every match.
The Navy Marksmanship Team is not
a commissioned unit of the Navy. It has
no unit identification code and there are
no billets. Team leadership is a collateral
duty, and team membership is entirely
voluntary. The Navy team doesnt hire
professional shooters like the Army
Marksmanship Unit, and it doesnt have
permanent change of station assignments
like the Marine Corps team. It is made
entirely of Sailors who love to shoot and
want to compete.
To join the Navy shooting team and
shoot in either of the Fleet matches, in-
terested shooters need to check the mes-
sages at www.usnst.org and contact their
commands to request orders to attend.

DIEGO GARCIA, British Indian
Ocean Territory The commander of
Navy Facilities Engineering Command
(NAVFAC) Far East, Capt. Don Chan-
dler, visited Diego Garcia to tour sites
with the new contractor G4S San Juan
during a major contract renewal the
week of January 15.
During his visit he held a luncheon
with all of the Seabees currently on the
island, including those in Public Works,
Self Help and members of Naval Mo-
bile Construction Battalions 5 and
74.
At the time of his arrival, the two
battalions were conducting a turnover
for two major quality-of-life projects
affecting military, civilian and contract
employees working and residing on the
island.
During the lunch, Chandler asked to
tour the contractor living unit (CLU)
currently under construction.
Seabees from both battalions accom-
panied him during the tour and also
showed him the future location for the
next CLU that is set to begin construc-
tion soon.
Seabee battalions carry out these
projects as part of construction readi-
ness operations to learn new engineer-
ing skills and maintain core proficien-
cies while enhancing infrastructure on
military bases worldwide.
NAVFAC Far East commander meets with Seabees on Diego Garcia
By Lt. j.g. Joshua Olson
NMCB 5
The main body of Naval Mo-
bile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 5 arrived in Okinawa,
Japan, Jan. 18 to relieve the
Gulfport, Miss.-based NMCB
74 and begin their scheduled
six-month deployment.
The group had been sched-
uled to arrive a day earlier, but
a mechanical issue was discov-
ered on their aircraft during a
refueling stop. That kept them
overnight while the aircraft was
being repaired. The Seabees ar-
rived at Kadena Air Base in
Okinawa the next day and
moved on to Camp Shields,
where the deployed battalion
headquarters is located.
During the deployment
NMCB 5 will send detachments
to at least 17 exercises and mis-
sions across the U.S. Pacific
Command (PACOM) area of
responsibility. Projects will in-
clude humanitarian assistance
and disaster relief, theater se-
curity cooperation, camp main-
tenance and construction read-
iness operations.
NMCB 5s advance party ar-
rived Jan. 3. Over the next two
weeks, Seabees from NMCB 5
and NMCB 74 conducted a
turnover of all projects, pro-
cesses, materials and equipment
on Camp Shields. The turnover
ended Jan. 14, when the com-
mander of the 30th Naval Con-
struction Regiment, Capt. Rod-
ney Moore, presided over a
ceremony transferring author-
ity of Camp Shields fromCmdr.
David McAlister, NMCB 74
commanding officer, to Cmdr.
Peter Maculan, NMCB 5s
commanding officer.
With turnover completed and
the main body on camp, the
Seabees of NMCB 5 were ready
to get to work.
Through all the preparation
and planning, NMCB 5 troops
displayed the highest of hopes
and aspirations for this PA-
COMdeployment,said NMCB
5s chaplain, Lt. Matthew Ri-
ley.
Those staying at Camp
Shields will receive a cultural
awareness and area orientation
brief from Commander, Fleet
Activities Okinawa staff. Given
the current mood of many Jap-
anese locals in the wake of
some headline-making inci-
dents involving alleged crimes
by U.S. service members, one
NMCB 5 Sailor said she appre-
ciates the importance of the
brief.
This brief will make sure
Sailors have an understanding
of the policies that are in place
in Japan, said Logistics Spe-
cialist 1st Class Lydia Franklin.
It will help them to better un-
derstand the Japanese culture
and beliefs.

PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan
Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion (NMCB) 5 are in the Philip-
pines to renovate a building for the Aplaya
Elementary School as part of a construc-
tion civic activity detail (CCAD) in Baran-
gay Tagburos, Puerto Princesa City, Pala-
wan.
In its current state, the 24-by-56-foot,
two-roommasonry building has wood and
plant-woven walls with a bare dirt floor.
This project will greatly improve the build-
ing by installing prefabricated steel trusses,
concrete columns, a corrugated metal roof,
gutters, metal doors and a hardiflex drop
ceiling.
The detail will also stucco and paint the
structures exterior tomatchthe other exist-
ing buildings at the school.
According to school principal Macaria
Peloto Camacho, the finished project will
have a significant impact to the neighbor-
hood, particularly to the 651 students and
20 teachers who attend and work at the
school.
The constructionof newclassrooms will
greatly benefit the students, teachers and
the entire neighborhood, Camacho said,
adding that the school currently does not
have enough classrooms to accommodate
all of the students.
We have to divide the classes into morn-
ing and afternoon sessions in order to have
room for all the children in the neighbor-
hood, she said.
Teachers said they were appreciative of
the efforts.
I am very grateful for all the work that
the U.S. military has been doing for us,
said Jovelyn Mulato, one of the schools
third-grade teachers. It is indeeda blessing
for this community.

CHIANG MAI, Thailand Seabees
assigned to Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 5 arrived in Chiang
Mai, Thailand, Jan. 19 to begin construc-
tion of a schoolhouse at the Ban Piang
Rat School.
The Seabees are working alongside the
Royal Thai Air Force to complete the proj-
ect as part of Exercise Cobra Gold
2013.
Exercise Cobra Gold is an annual joint
multinational exercise conducted in the
Kingdom of Thailand that is designed to
improve joint and multinational opera-
tions, including humanitarian civic assis-
tance events.
One of the byproducts of the Chiang
Mai school project is that the Seabees get
to learn more about the Thai culture and
build relationships with the people.
It is super important to me to get to
know them and know their culture, said
Builder Constructionman Brittany Bar-
low. I am looking forward to making a
difference in the community and leaving
something behind for them to remem-
ber.
In addition to Seabees from NMCB 5
and the Royal Thai Air Force, Malaysian
Army Construction Engineers and Ten-
tara Nasional Indonesia will take part in
the exercise. Through this collaboration,
the Seabees will continue to build relation-
ships with their Thai, Malaysian and In-
donesian equivalents through various
construction projects and cultural interac-
tion.
I look forward to working with Thai
counterparts and strengthening our in-
teroperability between our forces, said
Chief Steelworker Mike Bonifer, detach-
ment assistant officer in charge. We wel-
come the opportunity to experience the
Thai culture.

An Air Force chief select
whose family lives in Newbury
Park and shops at the commis-
sary at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) was one of only
two service members nationwide
to win a free trip to Hawaii
through the online Trips for
Troops sweepstakes sponsored
by Kings Hawaiian Bread.
Senior Master Sgt. Chad Lew-
is of Air Education and Training
and his wife, Deborah, won the
seven-day, six-night trip to Oahu
but chose to instead accept a
check for $2,400, the value of
the vacation. Theyre consider-
ing an Alaskan cruise instead.
The Lewises have lived in
Newbury Park since 1998 and
have five children, ranging in
age from 30 to 11.
Trips for Troops ran June 1
through Oct. 31 of last year.
There were two winners one
from the East Coast and one
from the West. Shoppers at any
of the 214 commissaries in the
continental United States could
enter the sweepstakes.
Lewis said his wife called up
the sweepstakes on the comput-
er after a trip to the commis-
sary.
She handed me the iPad and
told me to fill out the form, he
said. We never win anything.
But this time was different.
Store director Velma Siler said
she was especially pleased that
someone on active duty won.
I think its always good when
our sales representatives can
contribute something special for
our military, she said.
NBVC shopper wins sweepstakes
The commissary at Naval
Base Ventura County recycles
42,000 pounds of cardboard
each month part of the
63,000 tons recycled each year
by commissaries Navywide in
an effort to save the environ-
ment and generate funds to
build new stores.
Personally, I feel a moral
sense of doing the right thing
for the environment and for
our future, said Velma Siler,
director of the Port Hueneme
Commissary. Keeping waste
out the landfills and main-
taining the planet for our
grandchildren taking re-
sponsibility is always a good
thing.
All across the Navy, card-
board used to ship products
to commissaries is not thrown
away but is collected by store
workers and sold to recycling
companies. Money generated
from those sales $5.33 mil-
lion in fiscal 2012 goes to
the surcharge fund of the De-
fense Commissary Agency
(DeCA), which goes directly
to build and renovate com-
missaries.
Its a great ecosystem!
said Joseph H. Jeu, DeCA
director and CEO. As a De-
partment of Defense agency,
good environmental steward-
ship is a big part of our mis-
sion of providing the commis-
sary benefit. Our recycling
efforts directly benefit our
customers through the sur-
charge funds generated that
go to maintain commissaries
around the world.
The process used by com-
missaries in fiscal 2012 was 70
percent efficient, meaning
that 70 percent of all recy-
clable material brought into
stores got recycled, according
to Mark Leeper, a DeCA en-
vironmental engineer. It sur-
passed the agencys recycling
goal of 55 percent and its
stretch goal of 60,000 tons.
Leeper said the increase in
the amount recycled is the
result of the overall awareness
of the program among com-
missary employees and the
benefit it provides. Also, the
agency is using an improved
reporting system, which al-
lows DeCA to capture more
data of the recycling efforts
at all commissaries world-
wide.
This reflects the culture in
which DeCA operates, one
that takes into consideration
the big picture of benefits
gained through environmen-

said. The stores, and the
diligent efforts of their em-
ployees who have caught the

The Fleet & Family
Support Center
February is designated as Transition
Monthfor Navy Fleet &Family Support
Centers. To most people, transition means
a week of TAP classor a pre-separation
checklist, but transitioning out of the
military successfully entails a much more
in-depth process.
The past few months, FFSC has seen
quite a few changes or transitions
of its own, mainly the switch from the
old TAP class into the new Transition
Goals, Plan, Succeed (GPS) program. This
weeklong class has been revamped as part
of the Veterans Opportunity to Work
(VOW) Act, which was signed by President
Barack Obama in November of 2011, and
the Veterans Employment Initiative. Its
an effort to decrease veterans unemploy-
ment rates and increase their chances of
success in the civilian workforce.
Career Readiness Standards have been
developed and incorporated into Transi-
tion GPS to ensure that service members
are adequately prepared and have the
highest possible chance at a successful
future.
The programincludes a four-hour work-
shop on Veterans Affairs benefits, as well
as modules on translating military experi-
ence into equivalent civilian terms and
personal financial planning.
The newly extended three-day Depart-
ment of Labor Employment Workshop
consists of job search strategies and inter-
view techniques, as well as federal and
corporate resume writing skills.
Most notably, a new mandatory atten-
dance requirement ensures that all service
members have the time to process the up-
coming changes in their lives and create a
plan of action to achieve their employ-
ment and educational goals.
During GPS, service members will de-
velop an Individual Transition Plan (ITP)
to assess their own transition needs and
outline the major steps to consider during
this process. The ITPhelps attendees make
a plan of action to achieve post-military
employment or pursue further educa-
tion.
Later this summer, two-day optional
tracks will be phased in. The three separate
courses available will be the vocational/
technical track, presented by Veterans Af-
fairs; the entrepreneurial track, taught by
the Small Business Administration; and
the educational track.
The concluding piece of the transition
puzzle is the CAPSTONE event that will
be implemented to ensure that all the Ca-
reer Readiness Standards have been met,
referrals and resources provided and ques-
tions answered so that the service member
is as prepared as possible for a successful
separation or retirement.
Transition GPS class is offered at least
twice a month. It is recommended that
service members attend 12 months before
separation and up to 24 months before
retirement.
Service members can register for Tran-
sition GPS through their command career
counselor.

& Family Support Center at 805-982-

Saving energy at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) saves money and sav-
ing money saves jobs.
During these tough fiscal times, reduc-
ing utility costs is often overlooked as a
great way to put funds back into the bud-
get. Every dollar saved froma light turned
off, a computer shut down, a leak fixed
or a thermostat set a few degrees lower is
a dollar that can be reallocated to opera-
tions and personnel. This means that every
person at NBVC has the ability to affect
how much money gets spent on utilities
on base every day.
You can help or hinder the effort to re-
duce the Navys utility bill.
Right now, NBVC spends more than
$10 million on electricity and gas annu-
ally to keep the lights on, the computers
running and our operations functioning
smoothly. This is a huge line item in the
budget. Just think: Reducing this bill by
only 10 percent could free up more than
$1 million to be used elsewhere.
This highlights the best thing about our
utility expense: We have the power to re-
duce it without hindering anyones job or
the operation.
So, in tough fiscal times, lets work to
attack this line item first. Do your part to
save energy and money.
Turn off your computer every night
after work.
Turn off lights in unused rooms.
Ensure the heat and/or air condition-
ing is not running unchecked.
Notify the NBVCenergy teamor pub-
lic works of any energy or water wasting
issues.
Reducing utility bill saves base money

NSWC PHD Command Communications
The National Defense Industrial Asso-
ciation (NDIA) has named John Aldis of
Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hue-
neme Division (NSWC PHD) as the 2012
CivilianTester of the Year for his outstand-
ing work as Littoral Combat Ship (LCS)
mine countermeasures test director.
Aldis said he was elated and honored
to receive the award.
Of course, just like any great endeavor,
youachieve success only as a team,he said.
The collaborative efforts between NSWC
Port Hueneme, NSWCPanama City, HX-
21 Aviation Detachment and the USS In-
dependence (LCS2) officers andcrewmade
this possible.
Aldis is noted for his superior leadership
and demonstrated test and evaluation ex-
pertise in the planning and execution of
the LCS Mine Countermeasure Mission
(MCM) Package Development Test Pro-
gram aboard USS Independence (LCS 2).
He was selected by the NAVSEAProgram
Executive Office Littoral Combat Ship,
Mission Modules Program Office, to exe-
cute the first-ever mine countermeasures
developmental test aboard an LCS. The
work conducted by his team has been
critical in the advancement of the U.S.
Navys mine countermeasures capability.
Mine countermeasures testing is so im-
portant to the future of the U.S. Navy be-
cause of the aging MCMfleet,Aldis said,
and I amvery proud to have a role in this
effort.

Imabsolutely thrilled to be back,said
Cheng, who reported to the squadron
Sept. 10 and officially became Blue Angel
No. 8, the events coordinator, after about
two months of training.
Dressed in his snappy blue flight suit,
also bearing his name, Cheng laughed
about being Chamberlains personal tour
guide, pointing out the Camarillo Airport
and the strawberry fields as they flew in
to Point Mugu.
Theyre really good strawberries, he
told his pilot.
As the events coordinator, Cheng visits
every air show site prior to performance
dates. In 2013, the Blue Angels will give
full performances at 33 sites, the first one
being March 13 in El Centro, the last be-
ing Nov. 2 in Pensacola, Fla., their home
base.
Cheng and Chamberlain flew in from
San Francisco, where theyll performOct.
12 and 13, and went on to El Centro after
their air show meeting in Point Mugu.
At each meeting, we discuss the logis-
tics of putting together a safe air show,
Cheng explained. We get all the details
ironed out.
The Blue Angels have not performed at
the base since 1999. They were scheduled
for the 2005 air show but could not per-
form because of fog.
Its very exciting for me personally to
be coming back here, Cheng said. Its
been quite some time since the Blue Angels
have been able to perform here, so this is
exciting.
The squadron is the brainchild of Adm.
Chester Nimitz, who, as chief of naval
operations, decided in 1946 that the Navy
needed a flight exhibition team to raise
the publics interest in naval aviation and
to boost Navy morale.
Today, six F/A-18 Hornets perform in
each show, flying as close as 18 inches to
one another during some maneuvers. An
estimated 11 million spectators see the
squadron each year at air shows, and an-
other 50,000 visit with the Blue Angels
during hospital and school visits.
Most recently, the Blue Angels flewtheir
support aircraft, a C-130 Hercules nick-
named Fat Albert, into Joint Base Mc-
Guire-Dix-Lakehurst in Wrightstown,
N.J., to deliver toys to Superstorm Sandy
victims.
This years air show at Naval Base
Ventura County, Point Mugu, will take
place Sept. 28 and 29. Look for a story
related to the air show in each edition
of The Lighthouse until the Sept. 19
special air show edition.

Air show planning under way
ditions these guys are working in on the
ship. We need to design simply to make
it as easy as possible for them to oper-
ate.
Shane Axness, Josh Carter, Tom Kun-
kel and Keegan Ryan spent two days and
one night aboard USS Preble (DDG-88)
in January.
Carter, who has worked as a chemist
in the NAWCWD Weapons and Energet-
ics Department (4.7) for about four
years, said participating in the STS pro-
gram was one of the most valuable ex-
periences hes had at the Weapons Divi-
sion.
You can read about things all you
want, but it means so much more to ac-
tually see it for yourself, he said. I will
draw on this experience for a long time.
My work here is stimulating and reward-
ing; its even more so now.
Carter designs new propellants and
explosives in the Energetics Research
Division. He said this visit to USS Pre-
ble gave him a morale boost an an in-
creased sense of purpose.
I came back with a new appreciation
for what the Sailors, our ultimate cus-
tomer, go through, as well as an in-
creased awareness of the demanding
environment on the ship, Carter said.
Axness, an aerospace engineer work-
ing with the Tomahawk team, said the
value of his two-day visit to the Preble
was comparable to that of a multi-month
Engineer and Science Developmental
Program tour.
It was very helpful to see where our
products go and how they are handled
on the ship, Axness said. It was espe-
cially beneficial to see where our require-
ments come from.

through March 29 for training, has been
suspended due to funding issues.
In addition, the 43rd Annual Collab-
orative Electronic Warfare Symposium,
which would have brought about 200
military, government, academic and in-
dustry leaders to NBVC Point Mugu Jan.
29-31, was canceled.
Deputy Secretary of Defense (DSD)
Ashton Carter issued a memo to all mili-
tary departments Jan. 10 addressing bud-
getary uncertainties in fiscal year 2013.
The memo ordered an immediate civil-
ian hiring freeze and a curtailment of
travel, training and conferences, except for
mission-critical activities.
Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Robert Elder,
the president of the Association of Old
Crows, referenced Carters memo in an-
nouncing the cancellation of the electron-
ic warfare symposium.
We understand that the DSD memo
is affecting a majority of our community
with their budgetary planning and ability
to travel to conferences, he wrote. Due
to the difficulty posed to our speakers and
government attendees, this conference will
be rescheduled in January 2014.
The Association of Old Crows, which
takes its name from a World War II code
reference, sponsors the symposium each
year in Ventura County. Last years event,
held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential
Library in Simi Valley, featured two ad-
mirals as guest speakers.
This years event, which had been slated
for the Point Mugu Theater, was to include
tours of the base, conducted by Naval Air
Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAW-
CWD), and the keynote speaker was to
be Rear Adm. Paul Sohl, commander of
NAWCWD and assistant commander for
Test and Evaluation, Naval Air Systems
Command.
Also scheduled to speak were the elec-
tronic warfare program officer for the Of-
fice of Naval Research, the commander
of the Navys airborne electronic attack
systems, a research analyst with the Joint
Electronic Attack Compatibility Office
and engineers fromthe Marine Corps and
Air Force.
Johns Hopkins University, the Georgia
Tech Research Institute, Raytheon, Envi-
sioneering, Curtiss-Wright Controls,
Agilent Technologies and ATK Defense
Electronics Systems had planned to send
speakers as well.
The Navys boxing programhad already
been scaled back before the Jan. 30 an-
nouncement that it was being canceled for
2013. The Navy Box-Off, a six-year tradi-
tion at NBVC that was scheduled for Jan.
26, was canceled at the start of the year
when it was announced that the Armed
Forces Boxing Championships wouldnt
be taking place.
At that point, the focus switched to the
U.S. Nationals, with at least five Navy
boxers planning to come to the boxing
facility at NBVCs Bee-Hive Gymto train
for that April 6 event in Spokane, Wash.
But with the travel curtailment, those
plans hit the ropes as well.
Fred Morgan, athletic director for NB-
VCs Morale, Welfare and Recreation
program, said problems in the Navys box-
ing programecho organizational problems
in amateur boxing as a whole, culminating
in what he called a lackluster perfor-
mance by the United States in the 2012
Olympics.
Add the serious injuries in the last three
years involving military boxers, then throw
in a low turnout of qualified boxers, and
you end up in the situation that we are in,
he said. To see the decline of the sport
at all levels is disheartening. Hopefully the
program can bring itself off the mat and
come back next year. But if not, we still
have a wonderful boxing facility for our
patrons.

events planned for early this year at nBVc canceled

posed to our speakers

attendees, this
conference will
be rescheduled in

In addition, the programis nowself-ser-
vice. Roving volunteers can help answer
questions, but theyre no longer available
to sit down and, one-on-one, prepare the
taxes for those who walk through the
door.
Instead of being in a classroom with
about 30 computers, the service is in a new
location where six laptops are available.
And hours have been reduced.
The center opened Wednesday, Jan. 30,
and while some didnt mind the changes,
others were shocked.
Weve had a wide variety of reactions
today,Carey said. The young smart Sail-
ors jump in and get it pretty fast. The
older retired folks have had some chal-
lenges.
Sal Gonzales, the legal assistance clerk
at the Region Legal Service Office, Detach-
ment Ventura, who has coordinated the
tax center on base since 2002, said the re-
action is understandable.
Our full-service center was so success-
ful, he said. But at the same time, it is
important for people to know how to do
their own taxes and to learn what every-
thing stands for.
New guidance came down in 2011 re-
quiring that all base tax centers convert to
self-service. Naval Base Ventura County
obtained a waiver in 2012, but not this
year.
The change means that for the first time
in at least a decade, the center is no longer
affiliated with Volunteer Income Tax As-
sistance (VITA), a non-profit effort by the
Internal Revenue Service to provide free
tax preparation to low-income families.
However, many of the volunteers who were
trained through VITA and worked at the
base center for many years have returned
this year to serve as roving volunteers.
It took awhile for Jeannette Binion, a
76-year-old widowof an Air Force retiree,
to understand the change. She walked into
the center at 10:40 a.m. on its opening day
and spotted the woman who has helped
her with her taxes for the last five years,
Cindy Begg of Oak View.
Hers was the first tax return I ever did,
Begg said.
But this time, Begg had to showher how
to fill out her own forms.
It was terrible, said Binions 75-year-
old sister, Shirley McGlinchy. Were not
computer literate. My sister doesnt even
have a computer at home. When they told
her she had to get on a computer and do
it herself, she started crying.
Begg helped Binion calm down and
slowly walked her through the process.
Together, they finished her return at 2
p.m.
Some people need help to take care of
things like this, especially when youve lost
your husband, McGlinchy said.
Gonzales and Begg agreed the centers
clientele will probably be changing as the
tax season progresses.
The center will best serve people who
can get on a computer and do the returns
themselves with minimum help, Begg
said.
Gonzales added that people with com-
plicated returns, who dont have an email
address or who want someone else to do
their returns for themshould find a VITA
center off base or go to a tax preparation
service especially since the center has
fewer computers available this year and
shorter hours.
Amanda Shortridge, whose husband,
Builder 3rd Class Brandon Shortridge is
with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
5, found the center was perfect for her.
It was super easy, she said as she
packed up her paperwork. If Id known
it was going to be this easy I would have
done it at home. But its nice to have peo-
ple here to answer questions just in case.
The tax center is in the 31st Seabee
Readiness Center complex at Harris Street
and 23rd Avenue, across from the credit
union. Its in RoomD-104 of Building 103.
Hours are 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday and 10 a.m. to noon Sat-
urday.
For information, call Gonzales at 805-
982-4548.
