Question: I heard a rumor that the base is consid-ering cutting chapel services at Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC) Point Mugu. Is it true? Why wouldyou cut spiritual services to such a large portion ofour families?

Answer: Thank you for the opportunity to addressthis issue. As the fiscal belt has tightened over thepast year, we have taken a hard look at the serviceswe offer and how they’re being used. Gym classes,galley utilization and chapel attendance are just afew of the many areas examined.We are assessing the usage of the chapel at Point

Mugu. On average, fewer than 50 people a weekattend religious services there. The Seabee Chapelat Port Hueneme, on the other hand, sees four to fivetimes as many people on Sunday alone.We want to provide for our Sailors’ and families’

spiritual needs, but with limited funds, we have to

maximize our resources. From the outside lookingin, we are one installation and need to justify why weneed two chapels.I’ve said it before: Vote with your feet. If you want

to keep a service, use it. When we are forced to makecritical budget decisions, underutilized services arethe first to be considered for elimination. Religiousservices are critical to supporting Fleet, Fighter andFamily, but if one chapel is not being patronized, itmay be closed to conserve our limited financial andpersonnel resources and concentrate on the moreheavily attended chapel.Keep the questions and feedback coming! You

can submit via this forum at lighthouse@navy.mil,online using the CO’s Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm or at www.Facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty. You can also followus on Twitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCaliforniaand keep up on the latest news and events.

Why would the Navy even think of closing a chapel?

The first Retiree Town Hallmeeting at Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC) drew about 75people Tuesday night, Sept. 10— and an assurance from baseofficials that it won’t be thelast.Capt. Larry Vasquez, com-

manding officer of NBVC, toldthe audience that he wantedmore meetings like this inau-gural session, and LauraHam-ilton, director of the Fleet &Family Support Center, echoedthat.“We hope to continue to have

these and expand on them,”shesaid. “We know now from theturnout that people need thisinformation and want it.”In addition to Vasquez pro-

viding an update on the statusof the base — “We are grow-ing,” he said — speakers fromVeterans Affairs and TRI-CARE gave a rundown of up-coming changes to their pro-

grams and fielded dozens ofquestions.Presentationswere alsomade

by representatives of the Re-tired Activities Office (RAO)on base; Personnel Support

Detachment (PSD); Morale,Welfare and Recreation(MWR); the commissary; andReligious Ministries.Several retirees who attended

said they found the presenta-

tions helpful.“I think this was very, very

worthwhile on two fronts: theamount of information that’sgetting put out, and the poten-tial to create a community ofretirees,” said Bob Brunner, aretired Navy captain who livesin the Westlake Village-Thou-sandOaks area. “This has beena very useful meeting.”Dorothy Bearss called the

meeting “a positive thing.”“I think it’s a great idea that’s

long overdue,” she said.JimRamey, who oversees the

RAO, said the meeting wascalled to address the manychanges taking place in today’sNavy and the uncertaintymanyretirees are feeling in today’seconomy, especially as it relatesto the Department of De-fense.Vasquez put many at ease by

explaining thatNBVC is poisedfor growth over the next sev-

Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Jim Thi-me with the Naval Branch Health Clinicat Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)vividly recalls his deployment to Afghan-istan and Kuwait.“In the summer, you crave salty stuff,”

he said.So when he saw the snack foods piled

atop tables at a local insurance business,ready to be packed up into 50 boxes, heknew the troops on the receiving endwould be happy.“Muscle Milk?” he asked, looking at a

plastic bag containing a carton and othergoodies. “I never got that!”Thime and a handful of other Sailors

fromNBVC spent the morning of Thurs-day, Sept. 5, in the Camarillo office ofMercury Insurance, helping stuff theboxes with crackers, cookies, candies,crossword puzzles, note paper, even flip-flops.The Soldier Pack Party to commemo-

rate Sept. 11 is the brainchild of admin-istrative underwriter Monica Nungaray,who decided on it five years ago as a wayto honor her two sons in the U.S. MarineCorps and those who serve overseas. Oneson is still on active duty atMarine CorpsAirGroundCombatCenter in TwentyninePalms; the other is a veteran living in theSan Fernando Valley.“I wanted to send things from home

Twenty ombudsmenwho volunteertheir time to serve as the liaison be-tween families and commands werehonored Tuesday, Sept. 10, during anannual luncheon at the Bard Man-sion, Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) Port Hueneme.The ombudsman position was cre-

ated 43 years ago to keep familiesinformed of command news and tokeep commanding officers up to dateon issues and morale.“You are that critical link,” said

Capt. Larry Vasquez, NBVC com-manding officer.Ombudsmen also serve as the “go

to” for families, especially during de-ployments when the Sailor can’t—orshouldn’t be — contacted.

“Major appliances and vehicles— when they start to break down,you’re there to help with that,”Vasquez said.As Lt. Cmdr. Jeffrey Han, com-

mand chaplain, noted in his invoca-tion, the ombudsman is always there,“lending a hand on the first deploy-ment and holding a hand during afamily crisis.”Corey Kendrick, who coordinates

the ombudsman program for theFleet & Family Support Center, hasserved as an ombudsman in thepast.“I’ve been there,” she said. “You’re

taking care of your own families, andyou’re finding ways to make sureother families are taken care of, too.You are truly appreciated.”Among the commands at NBVC

honoring their ombudsmen —somecommands have more than one —were all three Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalions; all four CarrierAirborne EarlyWarning Squadrons;the 30th Naval Construction Regi-ment; Naval Construction Group 1;

Fleet Readiness Center Southwest,Detachment Point Mugu; the NavalConstruction Training Center; NavalSurface Warfare Center, Port Huen-emeDivision; Underwater Construc-tion Team 2; Fleet Logistics SupportSquadron (VR) 55; and Air Test andEvaluation Squadron (VX) 30.One by one, Kendrick called out

each command, and top officers es-corted the ombudsmen to the stage,where they gave them bouquets andgifts.“It’s like Christmas!”one ombuds-

man said.Some of the officers told how om-

budsmen made their jobs easier, es-pecially when it came to fending offfamily crises during deployments;others noted individual accomplish-ments, like setting up a Facebookpage to keep families up to date andcreating a command cookbook.Vasquez commented that ombuds-

men “are like 4-1-1 and 9-1-1 allwrapped into one.”“We can’t say thank you enough,”

he told them.

Almost every afternoon or evening formost students — and parents — includeshomework.For some students, homework is an

easy task. However, for some students— and parents — it can be a dreadedpart of the day.Do you ever wonder why students

must do homework?You’re not alone.Homework is intended to reinforce

skills and concepts learned during theschool day. It also provides extra prac-tice and helps students to reflect on howmuch they’ve learned.Homework is often used by a teacher

to assess what a child knows. This is onereason why it’s important for parents toallow students to do their own home-work. Parents can certainly ensure thathomework is done, and they can reviewmistakes, but they must allow the stu-dents to complete it on their own.The amount and the kind of home-

work varies from teacher to teacher andschool to school. Some students will notget homework until the second grade;others will start in kindergarten.

Long-term projects are usually as-signed at least once a year. Typically,there will be room for the parents to as-sist and support, and parents can ensurethat the student understands the require-ments for the project and that the stu-dent has the necessary supplies and re-sources. But parents should not be doingthese projects for their students.Most parents want students to com-

plete homework before doing anythingelse. For some students, this is best, butsome students need a break, and theywill probably complete their work more

quickly — and more correctly — ifgiven time to rest before getting start-ed.Keep in mind this is their homework,

not yours. You can be available to helpif needed, but it’s best to not hover. Letthem ask for help.Some parents might find that home-

work time is a good time to sit by andread a book or pay bills. Or, maybe theycan have the students work near thekitchen while dinner is being made. Thisallows them to ask for help when need-ed.Some students might need complete

quiet. For them, it might be best to workin a separate room with an occasionalcheck-in from a parent.Any type of media that can draw the

student’s attention away from homeworkshould be turned off. Music in the back-ground might be helpful; however, thestudent’s favorite TV show will surelyget more attention than the math home-work.If your student is struggling consis-

tently with homework, let the teacherknow. If a parent helps with an assign-

ment, write “With parent help” on thetop. It’s important that the teacherknows how the student is doing andwhat the student might still need helpwith.For older students, there are some on-

line resources available to help with thehomework process. Here are a few:• www.tutor.com/military: Free online

tutoring for military families.• www.khanacademy.org: Offers more

than 2,400 free videos from arithmeticto physics and finance.• www.soarathome.org: An assessment

aligned to state standards that can directstudents to individualized tutorials toimprove skills where needed.For more information about schools

in the local area, please visit http://na-vylifesw.com/ventura/families/cyp/slo/.For articles about education in theSouthwest Region, click on the academ-ic anchor tab for the latest newsletter.

Some of the youngest Sailors in theNavy spent a recent Saturday cleaningup a piece of history half a century old-er than they are and destined to becomea museum artifact.Eight students at the Naval Construc-

tion Training Center (NCTC) at NavalBase Ventura County, Port Hueneme,traveled with Chief Steelworker SteveNelsen to a ranch in Santa Paula wherethey washed down a 73-year-old movietheater marquee that will become part ofa World War II homefront exhibit at theSeabee Museum.The students are in the Construction

Mechanic A-School, their first stop afterboot camp.“This is important,”ConstructionMe-

chanic Construction Recruit AndrewSchaefer said. “My grandpa was in theAir Force inWorldWar II. I’mmore thanhappy to work on this project. This mar-quee will look fabulous when it’s all litup. It’s going to be really nice.”The marquee was part of the Mayfair,

a downtown Ventura theater built in

1940, the year before Pearl Harbor wasbombed and the United States enteredWorld War II.The theater burned in 2000 and was

razed in 2004, but the marquee wasspared and has spent the last decade inan otherwise empty lot. A group of re-tired Seabees arranged to have it donatedto the museum and is paying for what-ever restoration can’t be done by volun-teers.Last month, the marquee was moved

to Santa Paula for the power wash. It wasthen hauled to the back of the museumwhere it now sits, awaiting repairs. It canbe seen from Ventura Road.

Before the power wash, while Schaeferunscrewed old lightbulbs, others reachedinto crevices and pulled out old leaves,dirt and a few other things, including twodead birds and a mummified rodent.Nelsen said all NCTC students are re-

quired to complete 16 hours of commu-nity service.Construction Mechanic Construction

Recruit KeeganKilgore said he was eagerto work on a project involving a piece ofhistory.“I like history, and I love old mar-

quees,”he said, noting that his hometownof Anchorage has an old movie theaterthat’s been refurbished. “I want to do mypart to get this baby all fixed up and look-ing nice for the Seabee Museum.”Several of the students said they looked

forward to the day years from now whenthey could walk into the SeabeeMuseumwith their families, show them the mar-quee and tell them they’d worked on it.“I think this is something a lot of peo-

ple will go see,” said Construction Me-chanic ConstructionmanDakota Ramus.“I’m glad we’re able to help return thisto the community.”

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 3 kicked off a historic SeabeeCombatWarfare (SCW) training academyMonday, Sept. 9, for all troops stationedin Okinawa, Japan.The new program will provide more

than 300 main-body Seabees with all re-quired classroom and practical trainingneeded for their SCWqualification in justthree weeks — a process that typicallytook up to one year.According toNMCB3’s SCWcoordina-

tor, Steelworker 1st Class Ephraim Fon-seca, the SCW program provides Seabeeswith the skills and abilities needed to en-sure each expeditionary Sailor is a com-petent warfighter, ready to operate for-ward.“Our job takes us to remote areas across

the world,”Fonseca said. “We are orderedto build critical construction projects incombat zones, provide humanitarian as-sistance and disaster relief to communitiesdevastated by natural disaster and then,if needed, defend those efforts against anykind of threat.”To provide these capabilities and com-

plete these missions, NMCB 3 Seabeesmay have to conduct their own convoyoperations while operating myriad weap-ons systems, including small arms, belt-fedmachine guns and grenade or rocketlaunchers.Currently, NMCB 3 Seabees are build-

ing schools and community centers, re-pairing roads and digging wells through-

out the Pacific Region in areas such asCambodia, the Philippines, Timor-Leste,Tonga and the Republic of Korea.“All of the skill sets learned from the

SCW program support our tactical mis-sion,” said Senior Chief Builder StephenStran. “You can pull any section of theprogram and apply it to any of our currentmissions here in the Pacific Region, so as

expeditionarywarfighters who are forwarddeployed, it helps ensure we are ready foranything we may need to do.”The SCW academy covers 15 topics on

Seabee missions and capabilities throughbook work and hands-on exercises. At theend of each topic, there is a test each Sea-bee must pass to gain credit for that sub-ject. Topics include tactical operations,

construction, basic Navy history and theSeabee ethos.The classroom material is applied in

a field training exercise (FTX), bringingeverything into perspective. This is nec-essary before the qualification can begranted, so students who have not hadthe chance to complete an FTX canparticipate in a similar exercise while inJapan. The Jungle Warfare TrainingCourse (JWTC) is equivalent to an FTXand counts towards SCW qualifications.JWTC is an expert lesson that teachesSeabees how to build and fight in densejungle conditions.“Without an SCW pin, a Seabee is not

a bona fide Seabee — you need that pinin our community,” Fonseca said.Junior Seabee warfighters are taught

early in their career that an SCW desig-nator lends credibility and professional-ism to their uniform.Construction Electrician Construc-

tionman Kayla Anderson has beenworking on her SCW qualification near-ly a year. She has completed nearly allrequired training and is excited to seeothers gain the knowledge needed to joinher at the finish line.“All that’s left is a few more classes,

my final test and a board,” said Ander-son. “It’s nice to know that my friendswill be able to get through the processquicker, and we’ll all be at the same pro-fessional level. It’s a big step in everySeabee’s career and something we chaseafter from the second we get to the bat-talion.”

Seabees from Naval Mobile ConstructionBattalion (NMCB) 3’s Civic Construction Ac-tion Detail (CCAD) in Chinhae, Republic ofKorea, spent three days last month on a con-struction project with their ROK counter-parts.Three Seabees and three senior ROK engi-

neers teamed up Aug. 24-26 to install a drain-age ditch along a major service road aboardCommander Fleet Activities Chinhae.The small but critical teambuilding operation

was part of Ulchi Freedom Guardian (UFG)2013, an annual joint forces exercise conduct-ed across the Korean peninsula that incorpo-rates more than 3,000 personnel from the U.S.and bases in the Pacific region.

According to ROK engineer, Lt. j.g. ChaeKangWook, the event served as a positive firstimpression.“This is my first time working alongside Sea-

bees,”Wook said. “We utilize some of the same[construction] methods to accomplish goalswhen approaching a project like this. I’m im-pressed with how relaxed they seem and howmuch fun they have while still getting the jobdone.”Despite language barriers, a shared, focused

work ethic united the team and made the proj-ect a success.“Whenever you can complete a complicated

project without even speaking the same lan-guage, you know you’ve just experienced awonderful thing,” said Builder 3rd Class JacobThacker.

children living at the home an area otherthan the concrete floor to sit, learn andread books.“Building these benches was a small ef-

fort on our part, but it made a huge impacton the children living at the home,” saidthe CCAD officer in charge, Lt. LukeFeist. “We are here to improve the socialwelfare of this country. Each smile, addedcomfort or anything we can do to simplymake life better for the Cambodians isboth something expected of us as Seabeesand a truly meaningful use of ourskills.”TheCambodia team is taskedwith drill-

ing wells across different areas of thecountry to provide local Cambodians withwater for drinking and irrigation.

“I am so honored to take part in thisproject,” said the CCAD’s project coordi-nator, Steelworker 2nd Class Jerry Casi-quin. “It has always been a dream of minesince joining — a dream to help peoplewho honestly need it. To see the expressionof gratitude on their face when all I didwas do my job and make a bench … thisis why I enjoy deployments.”

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-tion Battalion (NMCB) 3’s Civic Con-structionActionDetail (CCAD) inTimor-Leste volunteered their time Sunday, Aug.10, to teach English to students at theUniversidade Nacional Timor Lorosa’ein Dili.The class, run by Greg Fergin, husband

of U.S. Ambassador to Timor-Leste Ju-dith Fergin, meets weekly on the univer-sity’s campus.Seabees helped Fergin by separating the

students in groups to perform two-hourexercises covering topical conversations,sentence-building techniques and how todevelop a story based on a series of pic-tures.According to Fergin, this gave the stu-

dents more one-on-one interaction andhelped them learn more efficiently.“There is an inexhaustible demand of

Timorese people wanting to learn Eng-lish,” said Fergin, who has managed theEnglish program for more than two years.“Seeing students succeeding ismy satisfac-tion.”The class is provided at no cost using

an all-volunteer instructing staff and isopen to anyone.“Seabees make a great contribution to

Timor,” said Fergin. “They help show theTimorese how amilitary unit can contrib-ute to civil affairs and be great ambassa-dors. We always need teachers, and theSeabees are great because the students getto hear different accents and gain exposureto a variety of cultures, which enhancestheir learning experience.”

Annual doses of influenza vaccine willbe available at Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty over the next few months. Look forannouncements in the Lighthouse, mar-quee signs on base and flyers posted at thecommissary and Navy Exchanges.Here is some information about the flu

vaccine from the Centers forDisease Con-trol and Prevention:Routine annual influenza vaccination

is recommended for all persons 6 monthsand older. To permit time for productionof protective antibody levels, vaccinationshould occur before a flu outbreak takesplace in the community, and providersshould offer vaccination as soon as thevaccine is available. Vaccination alsoshould continue to be offered throughoutthe flu season.Flu vaccines are designed to protect

against three influenza viruses that expertspredict will be the most common duringthe upcoming season. Three kinds of in-fluenza viruses commonly circulate amongpeople today: influenza A (H1N1) virus-es, influenza A (H3N2) viruses, and influ-enza B viruses. The 2013-14 U.S. season-al influenza vaccine virus strains are

identical to those contained in the 2012-13vaccine. Check the CDCwebsite at www.CDC.gov or www.Flu.gov for additionalinformation.While everyone 6 months and older

should get a flu vaccine each flu season,

it’s especially important that the followinggroups get vaccinated either because theyare at high risk of having serious flu-re-lated complications or because they livewith or care for people at high risk fordeveloping flu-related complications:• Pregnant women.• Children younger than 5 (very impor-

tant for those younger than 2).• People 50 and older.• People of any age with certain chron-

ic medical conditions.• People who live in nursing homes and

other long-term care facilities.• People who live with or care for those

at high risk for complications from flu,including health care workers, householdcontacts of persons at high risk for com-plications from the flu and householdcontacts and out-of-home caregivers ofchildren less than 6months of age, as thesechildren are too young to be vaccinated.For any questions or concerns please

call the Preventive Medicine Division at805-982-6358, the Occupational and En-vironmental Health Department at 805-982-6434 or the Naval Branch HealthClinic Port Hueneme at 805-982-6321.

ors. Among them was Pearl Harbor survivor and World War II veteran Leonard Jarvis, who came from Chula Vista to watch the promotion of his grandson, Jesus Torres of the Civil En-gineer Corps Officers School, to chief construc-tion electrician.

“It’s awesome, I’ll tell you,” said the retired shipfitter, who was pinned a chief petty officer 56 years ago. “It’s a whole different Navy than what I came up with.”

But the pinning ceremony itself is a time-honored tradition in the Navy. Chiefs select stand in front of the audience as speeches are given, then a sponsor dons the cover on the chief select, and a family member or mentor pins the fouled anchors on the collar.

Emotions often run high for all parties in-volved, as new inductee Chief Builder Travis Peppers discovered when tears ran down his cheeks.

“I was thinking about my father,” he ex-plained later. “He lives in Alabama and he re-ally wanted to come out here, but he’s real sick.”

Among those who spoke before the pinning were commanding officer of Naval Base Ven-tura County, Capt. Larry Vasquez, and retired Force Master Chief David Pennington.

“No other word says ‘I get stuff done’ than the term ‘chief,’” Vasquez told the group. “You are the backbone of the Navy.”

Pennington, who comes to the base frequent-ly through his work with the Navy’s wounded warrior program, urged the chiefs select to “carry on the tradition of leadership.”

“You are in a position of power and influ-ence,” he told them. “Know your Sailors. Grow your Sailors.”

He advised them to remain accessible, to find a balance between their work and their family life, to avoid micromanaging.

“Let your values be your guide,” he told them.

The ceremony — and the weeks of training that led to the actual promotion — proved to be too much for Grace Wolf. The 16-month-old daughter of Jamie and Chief Electronics Tech-nician Adam Wolf fell asleep in her stroller before all of it was over.

“It’s been a long six weeks,” Jamie Wolf said.

Adam Wolf’s father, Jeff, agreed.“I’m proud and relieved,” he said. “And I’m

very happy — very, very happy.”

OKINAWA, Japan – Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 cel-ebrated the promotions of nine newly inducted chief petty officers (CPOs) during one of the Navy’s most time-honored ceremonies Sept. 13 at Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan — a location that for more than 70 years has seen Navy Seabees don gold fouled anchors.

The new Seabee chiefs were joined by nine other newly promoted chiefs from the U.S. Naval Hospital Okinawa and the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) during the official CPO Pinning Ceremony.

Command Master Chief David Jones, assigned to 3rd MEF, said the new chiefs transformed from service members once focused mostly on self to deck-plate leaders belonging to a Navywide family.

“They now understand the importance of a team and what it means to belong to the CPO Mess,” Jones said. “During CPO 365 Phase 2, they learn that their new Mess is a ‘resource library.’ There have been many days when you think to yourself, as a chief, that this is the worst day of my life. Then, you go to the Mess, talk to your fellow chiefs and see miracles happen.”

Four weeks ago, each chief began a rigorous training schedule involving physical training, leadership, teamwork, time management and naval heri-tage.

More than 120 years since the rank was established, promoting to chief is still regarded as the most significant advancement in an enlisted person’s career. The rank of CPO is a dual role — a technical expert and deckplate leader.

Chief Petty Officer 365 Phase 2 is the modern training course that all new chiefs experience before receiving their anchor collar device.

According to NMCB 3 Command Master Chief Joseph Arnold, the training inspires a shift in professional appearance and responsibility.

“It’s a tough process,” Arnold said. “The training is extensive, and they use a lot of their own time. There’s a noticeable change after CPO 365 Phase 2; they stand a little taller, with their chest out a little farther, while having a dif-ferent sense of pride. They know they made the transformation from being junior enlisted to senior enlisted. Now it’s about taking care of the junior troops.”

show, “Justified.”Ride to the Flags, sponsored each year by the

White Heart Foundation, serves as a tribute tothose who died Sept. 11, 2001. The 12th anniver-sary of the terrorist attacks was commemoratedSaturday with a wreath-laying at the 9/11 memo-rial across from Building 1, a 21-gun salute, theplaying of taps and a civilian flyover. Afterwards,the several hundred motorcyclists who attendedthe kickoff ceremony took off through the LasPosas Gate for the ride to Pepperdine, where 2,977flags were flying in honor of the innocent victimswho died Sept. 11.Among the speakers at the kickoff ceremonywas

Capt. Larry Vasquez, the commanding officer ofNBVC. He told the crowd that while many thinkthe jet noise heard frequently at the base equatesto the sound of freedom, “there’s nothing like 800or 900 motorcycles” to really signify the sound offreedom.In an earlier interview, he noted that while se-

questration had forced the cancellation of manybase events, Ride to the Flags was too importantto lose.“This is one of the most significant community

events we do,” he said. “This 9/11 event is alwayssomething that should be conducted — so wenever forget.”Cmdr. Jim Brown, public works officer for

NBVC, served as master of ceremonies. Lt. LesaWelliver, staff chaplain, gave the invocation andbenediction, and Equipment Operator 3rd ClassSusie McCartney of Naval Mobile Construction

Battalion 4 sang the National Anthem, no easyfeat with Pink sharing the stage.One of the most emotional moments of the

morning came with the introduction of MarineSgt. James Carey, this year’s honoree and WhiteHeart Foundation beneficiary. In 2009, during awater reconnaissance training mission at CampPendleton, Carey almost drowned and sufferedsignificant brain damage as a result. Now blindand severely disabled, hemade his way up the stepsand across the stage — to huge applause — withSailors helping him move his legs. He spoke brief-ly, thanking the crowd for supporting him.“I am greatly honored,” he said.Pink, who did not address the crowd, served as

the grand marshal of the ride. Her father is a vet-eran of the VietnamWar, and one of her songs, “IHave Seen theRain,”which she has performedwithher father, deals with the aftermath of the war.Before the ceremony began, the singer, whose

real name is Alecia BethMoore, signed dozens ofautographs and posed for photos with everyonefrom Vietnam veterans to newly pinned chiefs tobabies.One of the many youngsters who walked away

happy was Madison Schwatka. The 8-year-olddaughter of Katrina and Chief Aviation Electri-cian’sMate Charles Schwatka of Carrier AirborneEarlyWarning Squadron (VAW) 112 had dyed herhair pink for the event and brought a photo of Pinkprinted out in — you guessed it — pink ink.Pink signed it and added, “To Madison.”Mom, who’d been standing next to Madison,

was thrilled, too.“I got a hug!” she said.

By Vance VasquezNBVC Public Affairs

Sept. 11, 2013, dawned cooland misty at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) PointMugu, but by 8 a.m. the skieswere clearing, allowing the sunto light up the U.S. flag as it wasraised to half-mast in honor ofthose who fell 12 years beforewhen terrorists attacked theUnited States in New York andWashington, D.C., and whentheir efforts were thwartedabove Pennsylvania.Hoisting the flag every morn-

ing is part of the regular routinefor Sailors on the quarterdeckat NBVC’s headquarters build-ing. Raising the flag on Sept.11, however, is something spe-cial.“In memory of all the inno-

cent men, women and childrenthat had passed away during theSeptember 11, 2001, terroristattack, raising the colors todaywas a great experience and hon-

or,” said Utilitiesman 3rd Class(SCW) Halzton Verdida, who,with Equipment Operator 3rdClass Emanuel Fletcher, hadresponsibility for the colors that

morning.Helping Verdida and Fletcher

honor the flag that Wednesdaymorning were Sailors and De-partment of Defense civilians

from the Air Test and Evalua-tion Squadron (VX) 30, home-ported at NBVC Point Mugu.“It was simply something the

command thought was appro-priate and suitable for honoringthose we lost on 9/11,” saidCmdr. Sam Hanaki, VX-30’schief test pilot. “I grew up inNew York City, so I have verystrong emotions connected withthis day.”Cmdr. Thomas Santomauro,

VX-30’s commanding officer,asked the squadron to not onlyremember those lost in the at-tacks, but to reflect on how thatday has shaped all the dayssince, both personally and pro-fessionally.“Most of the squadron were

teenagers a dozen years ago,others were younger, and somewere already serving,” Santo-mauro said. “All of us experi-enced the tragic events that day…. I asked the squadron to har-ness that and take the time to

remember how it affectedthem.”Later that afternoon, VX-30

agreed to fly NBVC’s 9/11 me-morial flag during a mission inBloodhound-403, a KC-130FHercules. The crew hoisted theflag inside the cargo bay of theHercules while supporting air-to-air refueling of the F-35BLighting II aircraft, which wasconducting operations in thePoint Mugu Sea Test Range.When the Hercules landed,

the memorial flag was raisedonce again atop of the plane asit taxied in at Hangar 372.NBVC’s 9/11 memorial flag

was first flown over the Penta-gon on Aug. 14, 2002, in mem-ory of the fallen, and it flew forthe first time at NBVC PortHueneme during the 9/11 ob-servance Sept. 11, 2002. It wasraised again to mark the five-year anniversary of the attacksand has been displayed in otherbase 9/11 events.

— comfort stuff,” she explained. “Thisway, they know we’re thinking of them.”She has been amazed by how the project

has taken off.“Ohmy gosh!” she said. “It’s been over-

whelming, the support we’ve received fromco-workers, body shops, agents. Peoplewant to do anything they can to send com-fort from home and let them know wehaven’t forgotten.”This year, 12 companies took part in

the project.Assistance from the Sailors was coor-

dinated by Legalman 1st Class MonicaVoce of the Region Legal Service Officeat NBVC Port Hueneme.“When they called, I thought it was an

awesome opportunity to do somethingwith the community,”Voce said. “My hus-band was stationed overseas, and gettingcare packages to him wasn’t cheap. It’snice they’ve been doing this the last fiveyears; had I known, I’d have been here.”

Care packageshead overseasContinued from 3

eral years, especially as the Navy shiftsits resources to the Pacific.The Navy is investing heavily in two

areas, he said: unmanned aerial vehi-cles — known to many as drones —and littoral combat ships (LCS), whichhave a common hull but interchange-able modules, so they can be adaptedto a wide variety of missions.NBVC Point Mugu, Vasquez said,

“is quickly becoming the hub for un-manned systems for the Navy on theWest Coast.”And at NBVC Port Hueneme, the

Naval Surface Warfare Center is “themaintenance facility for all LCS mis-sion modules on the West Coast,” hesaid.In addition, the Coast Guard is con-

sidering expanding its presence in Ven-tura County.He told the retirees to expect an in-

flux of missions and people toNBVC.“Word is getting out on what used

to be Sleepy Hollow,” he said. “We are

getting a lot more attention.”When Vasquez opened it up for ques-

tions, the retirees focused on more im-mediate issues. Stung by class cuts atthe Bee-Fit Wellness Center and thetemporary one-day-a-week closure atthe commissary due to the now-liftedfurlough, they wanted to know if moreservices would be reduced.

Vasquez said that in this time of se-questration and tough choices, “If youwant the services, use them.”“We are under some very trying

times financially,” he said. “Sequestra-tion has been real, and there have beensome significant impacts.”With the maintenance budget cut in

half, the grass is getting longer andthe trash isn’t being taken out as often,he said.Moreover, the outlook for the up-

coming fiscal year isn’t bright, and hereminded the retirees that if servicesand facilities weren’t being used —movie theaters, chapels and gymsamong them — they might be closed.“There’s just not extra money in the

budget to keep them if they’re not be-ing used,” he explained.Vasquez was followed by Michele

Zeno of Veterans Affairs, who dis-cussed the importance of signing upfor VA benefits and services, and byHillary Perez-Godfrey of TRI-CARE.Retirees who were not able to attend

the meeting and who have questionsabout Veterans Affairs or other ser-vices can call the RAO at 982-1023 forcontact information.
