Q: I am concerned about the quality of water wedrink here at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) PortHueneme. Sometimes the water smells so strongly ofchlorine, I can’t believe it’s safe to drink.

A: First, thank you for allowing me to address thisvery important issue. At NBVC, providing you withsafe, clean drinking water is one of our top priorities.We publish an annual water quality report, and oursystem is constantly monitored and tested according toEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards.Your water is treated using chloramines, a com-

bined chlorine/ammonia disinfectant. Periodically,water systems using chloramines conduct a chlorine“flush” to remove residual deposits in the system,including excess ammonia and nitrates, and disinfectthe system. This process is recommended by the EPA asa safe method that will not cause any adverse healtheffects.During this process, you may notice that your water

has a stronger smell than it usually does. This is aresult of both the process change and possible residuallevels of chlorine in the system during and after theflush. According to the EPA, the maximum residualdisinfectant level goal for chlorine is 4 parts per mil-lion (ppm). We monitor our water daily, and we staywell under that guideline, generally under 2 ppm.During the flush, you may also notice some discol-

oration or cloudiness in your water. You may also findair pockets in the system. The discoloration and airare harmless, but you may want to run water throughthe tap until it runs clear.

Do you have questions or suggestions? You cansubmit them via this forum at [email protected], on-line using the CO’s Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm or at www.Facebook.com/Na-valBaseVenturaCounty. You can also follow NBVC onTwitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifornia and keepup on the latest news and events.

Is the water on base safe to drink?

The ad could go just aboutanywhere.HelpWanted: “Once-a-week

position. Compensation in-cludes free workout, nicetan.”Free to GoodHome: “Fresh

veggies. U pick.”Relationships: “Looking for

a nurturing soul who’s willingto put up with a few weeds.”The Religious Ministries

team at Naval Base VenturaCounty is looking for volun-teers to show some love to theSeabees’ plot at the OxnardSenior Vegetable Garden onPleasant Valley Road.“We need people who will

grow, sustain and harvest thegarden,” explained Lt. LesaWelliver, staff chaplain for thebase. “We’ve gotten the plotback in shape, and nowwe needa crew to take it over and startthe spring planting.”Welliver and half a dozen

volunteers from the base —most of them from the NavalBranch Health Clinic — spentThursday morning, Feb. 13,pulling weeds from the gardenand tilling the Seabees’ plot.There are 19 plots, but the

attention given them isn’t con-sistent, explained John Pardee,

a longtime gardener there: Se-niors get sick, they travel, theyfind other interests.So volunteers from the base

have been helping keep up theplots. About a year ago, theyeven took over one plot anddedicated it to retired Sea-bees.But just as Pardee learned,

finding a consistent crew ofvolunteers to keep up that plothasn’t been easy.So the Religious Ministries

Team keeps putting out callsfor volunteers — and peoplekeep responding.

“I like gardening,” Hospi-tal Corpsman 3rd Class LeeScott explained. “I enjoyedit as a kid, and today I want-ed to help the community.”He spent part of the morn-

ing wrestling with a tiller.“That was my PT for the

day,” he joked. “I thought itwas just going to be pickingup weeds.”Welliver, too, enjoys spend-

ing time in a garden.“I love being out in the

fresh air,” she said. “It’sgreat and healthy for all ofus.”Pardee urged local retirees

to share that experience.“People have to quit sit-

ting in front of the TV,” hesaid. “People have got to getsome fresh air. No one’s everdied from that.”Anyone interested in vol-

unteering at the garden isasked to call the Seabee Cha-pel at 982-4358.

Hospital Corpsman 1st ClassMaria Pallares, a dental hygienistwith theNaval BranchHealth Clin-ic at Naval Base Ventura County,Port Hueneme, offers the followingtips for parents of young children.

Do:• Teach children how to brush

their teeth.• Treat baby teeth like adult teeth;

avoid thinking “they’re baby teeth,they will fall out eventually.” Chil-dren’s teeth that are diseased hurtas much as adults’ teeth do, and thebad habits that damaged them willdamage adult teeth as well.• Drink water instead of soda or

sugary sports drinks and energydrinks.• Consume dairy products to

strengthen teeth and bones and toneutralize acidity in the mouth,which can lead to tooth decay (cav-ities).• Eat apples, other hard fruits and

raw vegetables to stimulate salivaflow and keep teeth rinsed.• Take your child to the dentist

before his or her first birthday.Do not:

• Put a baby to bed with a bottle;not only is it a choking hazard, butthe liquid constantly bathes theteeth, which can lead to tooth de-cay.• Give a bottle to a child older

than 1.• Encourage prolonged use of a

sippy cup.• Feed your child sticky foods, like

sticky candy or dried fruits, whichcan promote tooth decay.• Let your children brush their

teeth too hard, as it removes enam-el over time. “Think of your teethas your car with a brand new coatof paint,” Pallares said. “Your cargets muddy. Do you scrub reallyhard to get it off ? No, because itwill remove the paint over time.While you can repaint your car,once you lose the enamel off yourteeth, that’s it — it cannot growback.”Visit www.2min2x.org on the

Web for more information.

Dental hygienetips for parentsBy Andrea Howry

It’s not every day you get to brush adinosaur’s teeth.Preschoolers at the Child Develop-

ment Centers (CDCs) at Naval BaseVentura County had the opportunity todo just that earlier this month when hos-pital corpsmen from the Port Huenemeand Point Mugu dental clinics taughtthem — and hundreds of older young-sters at neighborhood schools — theimportance of dental hygiene.February is Children’s Dental Health

Month. For the past several years, Navypersonnel have been spending a few daysof the month teaching children on baseand in the local community how to brushtheir teeth and take care of them as theyget older. The lessons are tailored fordifferent age groups, so preschoolers getBrushing 101 and fifth-graders learnabout the dangers of tobacco.This year, 16 hospital corpsmen vis-

ited Laguna Vista, Bard and Huenemeelementary schools, as well as the PortHueneme and Point Mugu CDCs.

“It’s important to educate kids — es-pecially young kids — about how to takecare of their teeth to prevent future

problems,” said Lt. Krista Mattson.The dental team visited the Point

Mugu CDCWednesday, Feb. 19, bring-ing the toothy dinosaur and an equallytoothy monster and monkey.Mattson started off the morning by

reading Mercer Mayer’s “Just Going tothe Dentist,” then let the preschoolerstake turns brushing the stuffed toys.In an effort to ease youngsters’ pos-

sible fears about their first dental visit,they let the children try on protectivegloves and protective masks so theywouldn’t be frightened at seeing a dentistin full medical garb.The team visited two classrooms — a

total of 30 children.Each classroom had a line of labeled

toothbrushes against the back wall. Sha-ron Nash, director of the Point MuguCDC, said the children always brushtheir teeth after snacks, but a visit fromthe dental team backed up the impor-tance of that daily lesson.“This helps children take better care

of their teeth, and it educates the par-ents, too,” she said. “Kids need to eatmore vegetables and fruit, and they needto stay away from sodas and coffeedrinks.”Coffee drinks? Preschoolers?“That morning sip of cappuccino,”

Nash said. “They shouldn’t be doingthat.”

If you have a child who is 4 and almost5, you’re probably considering kindergar-ten options. Most schools will begin ac-cepting registrations inMarch, and manycharter and magnet schools have begunaccepting applications for their lotteriesas well.Since many states have different kinder-

garten entry age requirements, here is anoverview of California’s rules. It’s impor-tant to note that California has recentlymade changes to its kindergarten age re-quirements, so youmay have heard differ-ent information in the past.The Kindergarten Readiness Act was

signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwar-zenegger in 2010. This act changed thekindergarten entry date from Dec. 2 toSept. 1. The law has been phased in overthe last two school years, with next yearbeing the final year for the phase-in.Therefore, all children entering kindergar-ten in fall 2014 will be 5 by Sept. 1.Since this change leaves many young

children ineligible to begin kindergartenif they have birthdays between Sept. 2 andDec. 1, a new program has been imple-

mented just for those children. Transi-tional Kindergarten (TK) is the first yearof a two-year kindergarten program de-signed to be a bridge between preschooland kindergarten.The entry date change and the creation

of TK address a longstanding need inCalifornia. Before theKindergartenRead-iness Act, children in California typicallybegan kindergarten at a younger age thankids in almost any other state. Startingschool at an earlier age often meant theyentered without the maturity, social skills

and early academic skills they need to suc-ceed in kindergarten and beyond. At thesame time, kindergarten today is far moreacademic than it once was — it’s similarto what first grade used to be.According to tkcalifornia.org, the

youngest kids in a kindergarten class riskstruggling academically, emotionally and/or socially. At their young age, some mayhave limited experience interacting withpeers and teachers, while others may notyet know how to listen or follow a struc-tured class schedule. TK ensures that chil-dren have these pivotal skills, which arefoundations to successful learning, whenthey begin kindergarten.If you have a child who will begin kin-

dergarten or TK next school year, pleaseidentify your neighborhood school bycontacting the Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty (NBVC) school liaison. Most schoolswill begin distributing registration packetsin March. To complete registration youwill need your child’s birth certificate, cur-rent immunization record, proof of ad-dress (housing agreement or utility bills)and a kindergarten dental and health

screening (schools have the necessaryforms). Some schools will accept yourregistration with the birth certificate andproof of address but will require the im-munization record and dental/healthscreening shortly thereafter.Although all school districts will offer

TK to eligible children, not all school siteswill. If your neighborhood school doesn’toffer it, another school in the district will,so check with your school district to findout where the program is offered.It’s important to know that TK is not a

required program. In California, studentsare not required to be enrolled in schooluntil they are 6 years old. However, TKand kindergarten are great building blocksfor a student’s future success. If your stu-dent is eligible for TK, it will serve yourfamily well to look into it at your neigh-borhood school district.

He lived a life of profound confusionand unresolved anger, given to unexplain-able fits of rage. Though he appeared tohave it together, in reality Moses was awalking time bomb.“The Jerry Springer Show”would glad-

ly feature this dramatic story. Here’s amanstruggling to understand being abandonedat birth by his own mother, yet adoptedby the royalty that triggered the infanticideleading to his abandonment. Even thoughhe received an education from the bestschools in Egypt, hemust have questionedwhy his physical appearance looked dif-ferent from his classmates; maybe theyteased him as a result.What a troubling day it must have been

when Moses learned of his families’ di-lemma caused by the hands of his care-taker. Only a Jew adopted byHitler couldcomprehend Moses’ predicament. Pha-raoh enslaved the Hebrews, so whenMo-ses discovered he was one, his survivalmeant living a lie.Moses wrote the book of Exodus,

wherein he conveys that when the lie end-ed, “one day, after Moses had grown up,he went out to where his people were”(Exodus 2:17). Once on the scene, hefully encountered the reality of his fatherfigure’s evil. Seeing bruised and beatenHebrews working in the hot Egyptian sunstung his heart and shortened his breathknowing that his own mother and father,if alive, were among them.What he saw next ignited his years of

repressed anger. A big, bronze Egyptianbegan beating the fire out of an exhaust-ed Hebrew slave — and Moses snapped.

Assuming he grabbed the nearest weaponof opportunity, probably a brick, he un-loaded his life’s pain on the skull of theoppressor. Before long he became Egypt’smost wanted, and so he fled to the Mid-ian desert.

As a fugitive, Moses started a familyand spent approximately 40 years discov-ering himself as a husband and father. At80 years old in his exiled state, he encoun-teredGod and received his calling to formand lead the transient nation of Israel outof Egypt.This story teaches us the following les-

sons:• God does not embrace a “zero defects”

mentality of the leaders he chooses. Rath-er, God selectedMoses to serve as the firstnational leader of Israel — one might sayaGeorgeWashington of his era— in spiteof his flaws.• The Bible portrays real people with

real pain and real problems. The argumentthat the Bible contains a man-made agen-da falls flat on its face as most men andwomen therein have serious issues andmake major mistakes in life. Ultimately,only God gets the glory out of each story— not man.• Obedience to God rewrites your life

story.Many say that one failure overshad-ows years of wise and successful decision-making. However, in God’s economy, onedecision to obey and follow him grantsyou a second chance at life, ultimatelyoutweighing every bad decision you evermade.

The long-delayed expansion of the Fair-ways RV Resort at Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC) Port Hueneme is nowcomplete, and 85 spaces are now availableto anyone with base access.Paul Bruce, who has managed the RV

park for seven years, has been eagerlyawaiting the completion of the project,saying the 34 spaces available in the pastwere “well-populated,” especially in thesummer months.“We have a lot of retirees bringing their

grandchildren,” he said. “On the Fourthof July everyone lays on the grass andwatches the fireworks. The summers hereare fantastic.”The RV park attracts people from all

over the country, many of them winter“snowbirds” who travel a regular routethrough the southern half of the UnitedStates.“There are a lot of retirees who compare

notes on all the parks on all the militarybases,” he said. “They’ve become friends,and theymeet each other in Florida, SouthCarolina. They drive all over the place.

They’re busy.”He sees some families several times each

year and knows many by name.RVers are limited to a 30-day stay. They

must leave for at least seven days beforethey can come back. So some head overto the 79 spaces at the RV park at NBVCPoint Mugu, stay a week, then comeback.With spots going for $30 a night for

those with a military affiliation — activeduty, Reservists or retirees — $900 amonth is cheap rent in Southern Califor-nia, especially when it includes utilities andfree laundry facilities.“That’s less than a lot of places out in

the community,” Bruce noted.Department of Defense civilians and

those who are sponsored by someone onbase pay a slightly higher rate of $35 pernight.There’s one space at the RV park that’s

free: the home of the camp host, a six-month position that requires someone tobe home from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. seven daysa week. The camp host handles all facil-ity emergencies and keeps the peace — apretty easy job at Hueneme, Bruce says.

Usually the biggest problem is someonekeeping a generator on into the quiethours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. weekdays and11 p.m. to 7 a.m. weekends.In addition to free laundry facilities, the

Fairways RV Resort has a charcoal bar-becue and picnic table at each spot, plusa building with showers, free washers anddryers and a covered picnic area with agas barbecue.A community fire ring is in the planning

stages so families can get together for agroup campfire.The park can accommodate RVs up to

50 feet in length.Paul Petersen has been coming to the

Fairways for nearly a decade. Retired fromthe Army, he lives in Weldon, near LakeIsabella, and stays in the RV park everythree months when he comes to the baseto fill his prescriptions. He likes the factthat the Seabee Golf Course is right nextdoor.“It’s peaceful here,” he says. “It’s quiet.

You can hear a pin drop, and all theRV’ersare friendly.”He likes the expansion but said there’s

only been one time he tried to check in

and the park was full.“So I just went toMugu,”he said. “Now

that won’t ever be a problem again.”

James Gomez was ready to shape up,and he knew the way to start was to runthe Sweetheart 5K Thursday, Feb. 13, atNaval Base Ventura County (NBVC) PortHueneme.After all, the last run he’d done was also

a base 5K— but that was nearly two de-cades ago.“I think the last one I did was in ’95,”

said Gomez, who works at NBVC PointMugu. “I want to get back into shape, sowhat better way to do it than this?”

Gomez and his wife, Maricela, a localschoolteacher, spent several minutesstretching before the run began at 11:30a.m. outside the BeeHive Gym.This 5K— the second put on this year

by Morale, Welfare and Recreation —drew more than 80 participants.As happened in January’s race, the so-

called Frostbite 5K that took place on an80-degree day, Paul Van Zuyle finishedfirst. The information technology special-ist with the Naval Facilities Engineeringand ExpeditionaryWarfare Center had atime of 19 minutes, 27 seconds.

So what prompted Gomez to start aworkout routine?“The Olympics,”he said. “At each com-

mercial break, I do 25 pushups. Lastnight, they had 12 commercial breaks intwo hours, so I did a total of 300 push-ups.“I feel good.”The next lunchtime 5K is March 13.

Registration starts at 11 a.m., and the runbegins at 11:30 outside the BeeHive Gym.It’s called the Sexual Assault Awareness5K, and information booths will be setup near the starting line. Info: 989-7728.

Naval Facilities Engineering and Expedi-tionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC)employees conducted a motorcycle ride forsafety Feb. 7.Four Sailors attached to EXWC’s Mobile

Utilities Supply Equipment (MUSE) divisiontook to Southern California’s roadways as partof the command’s inaugural motorcycle groupride. The goal is to develop safe motorcycleoperating habits while navigating varied terrainamid changing weather conditions.“This is a wonderful idea,” said Capt. Mark

K. Edelson, NAVFAC EXWC commandingofficer. “We constantly reinforce motorcyclesafety during quarters and focus on the needto keep safety at the forefront of everythingwe do. This motorcycle tour puts those safetytenets into action and allows us to operation-alize motorcycle safety.”The ride covered 67 miles, taking the bikers

over highways, through canyons and acrossother challenging terrain.“We kept it to 67 miles because we didn’t

want to get too far away,” said EngineeringAide 1st Class and tour organizerAdamBinon.

“But we wanted to mix it up, to include high-way riding, canyon riding, down hills, aroundcurves and other types of roads.“This is a kind of mentorship program,”

Binon added, “where we can learn safe ridingtechniques from one another while we’re outon the open road.”The four riders – Binon, Chief Steelworker

JamesMathews, Construction Electrician 2ndClassAnthonyBiondo andChief ConstructionElectricianWilliam Cappel — rode dissimilarbikemodels, and their experience levels rangedfrom novice to highly proficient, but eachlooked forward to the opportunity to enhancetheir skills.Before departing, the group consulted a

lengthy checklist to ensure a smooth and saferide. Their course took them through Venturato Lake Casitas, Ojai, Santa Paula and Saticoybefore safely returning to their startingpoint.“This was the first of what we hope will be

many motorcycle group rides to reinforce es-sential safe riding techniques,” said Edelson,“and the training will help sharpen their skillswhile demonstrating responsible riding for allparticipants.”

The recently succeeded top enlistedleader of the Naval Construction Force(NCF) hung up his hard hat after nearly34 years of honorable service during anofficial retirement ceremony Friday, Feb.14, atNaval BaseVenturaCounty (NBVC)Port Hueneme.Master Chief Douglas Dickey, the 15th

ForceMaster Chief of the Seabees, leavesan honorable legacy built on trust andtaking care of his troops.“Three things are emblematic of Master

Chief Dickey,” said Rear Adm. KateGregory, Commander, Naval FacilitiesEngineering Command and Chief ofCivil Engineers. “He’s a man who got themission done, he’s a guy that takes careof his troops, and he’s dedicated to takingcare of everyone. I’m happy for the fam-ily, but I’m sad for us. We are losing alegend.”During three decades of service, Dickey

traveled across areas of the Pacific, Europeand the Middle East, building relation-ships and taking care of his Seabees. Be-ginning his career in 1981, Dickey’s firstduty station landed him in Puerto Ricoas the Department of Defense Caribbeanlocksmith. This rare assignment for a ju-nior service member allowed him to trav-el from island to island, giving him his

first taste of both leadership and the Seabeeway of life. From there, Dickey built andfought in nearly 10 battalions, providingcombat construction in Iraq and Kuwait,building relationships in Saudi Arabia,Spain and Scotland and providing human-itarian support to the Philippines andOki-nawa. During each deployment, separatedfrom his family and loved ones, he led hisfellow Seabees in effecting positive changeacross five time zones.“People askmewhat took so long—why

didn’t I retire earlier,” said Dickey. “It’sbecause of the Seabees standing out heretoday. Now, it’s time to pass the torch.”With active duty over, Dickey plans to

make up lost time with his wife as theyvacation in the Western Pacific.“My wife is the reason I was able to do

all of this,” said Dickey. “I’m so happy Imarried her and couldn’t imagine my lifewithout her.”

welfare.The teams also conducted operations

in Atsugi, Yokosuka andOkinawa, Japan;Chinhae, Republic of Korea; and ChinaLake and San Clemente Island. Thesedetails helped improve the infrastructureof the local bases, excavated local miner-als, conducted training with host nationmilitaries and performed COMRELs.

“During each stage of this deployment,NMCB 3 showed the world how a con-struction battalion can improve their hostnation’s infrastructure, military profi-ciency and then build lasting relation-ships with the local communities,” saidCmdr. Gordon Meek III, NMCB 3’scommanding officer. “I couldn’t beprouder of our battalion. Our personal

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 5 Seabees recently completed fivedays of field and Seabee combat warfareinstruction.NMCB 5’s first-class petty officers led,

with the assistance of second-class pettyofficers, the introduction of basic field op-erations to new battalion personnel notacquainted with being a ground supportunit.“We [first-class petty officers] wanted to

provide anopportunity for peoplewhohavenot received their Seabee combat warfarespecialist (SCWS) qualification to gainsome practical hands-on training,” saidUtilitiesman 1st Class Richard Johnson,the command SCW coordinator.“This was awaywe could introduce new

personnel to the SCWS program and de-mystify how hard it looks when looking atthe [qualification] books,” he explained.“We showed them how simple some of theblocks in their books are to get signedoff.“Along with showing them how the

smaller bits fit into the larger picture, thistraining gave them confidence to pursuemore training and getting their [qualifica-tion] books signed off.”On the first day of last month’s instruc-

tion, 100 Seabees were separated intosquads of 10 to 12 people. Instructorshelped the students adjust their Kevlarhelmets and 20-pound armored vests tomake them more effective and comfort-able.During the week, students went through

training onhow to read andoperate boardsin the combat operations center, how tobuild terrainmodels for patrols, how to usetwo-person fighting positions, how towritefire plans for a crew-serve weapon (M-240Bravo machine gun), how to write patrolorders, how to use radios and how to ma-neuver on patrols.“The topics covered are only 10 percent

of the overall qualification, but 80 percentof what they will have to perform duringthe [practical applications] boards,” John-

son said.“I thought it was great training,” said

Logistics Specialist Seaman Larry Lavey.“It helpedme understand some of the [ter-minology] used and gave me an idea ofwhat to expect during field exercises.”Instructors also gave advice on what to

expect during field operations and how tobe better prepared for the field. They ex-plained howweather and terrain affect notonly how missions are executed, but alsohow personnel have to adapt to operateeffectively.“This was a great way for us to introduce

andwelcome our new Seabees to [NMCB]5 culture,”saidCmdr.CameronGeertsema,the commanding officer of NMCB 5.The Seabeeswhowent through the train-

ing were either checking into their firstoperational command or were from thefleet, where the culture and training aredifferent than in a ground unit.“The instructors did a phenomenal job

and have helped improve the readiness ofthe command,” Geertsema said. “I lookforward to seeing how theywillmentor ournew Seabees in the future.”

By definition, “transition” means the“process of change,” and a process is aseries of actions. Put them together andyou have a pretty accurate description ofwhat the Transition GPS program is allabout.When leaving the military, whether

separating or retiring, our servicemembershave to begin to envision their future andcreate a transition plan to obtain theirgoals.Deciding your future can seem like an

overwhelming task for many, but whenbroken down in a logical sequence of stepsand given enough time, success is mucheasier to attain.The path to separation ideally begins

12months before separation or 24monthsbefore retirement. It includes meetingswith the Command Career Counselor

(CCC), a pre-separation counseling check-list and attending the Transition GPScourse. This five-day course has undergonea complete revision due to the VeteransOpportunity toWork (VOW) Act, signedby PresidentObama inNovember of 2011,

and the Veterans Employment Initiative.Their goal was to decrease veterans’ un-employment rates and increase veterans’chances of success in the civilian work-force.Attendees learn how to translate their

military experience and training into civil-ian terms, as well as personal financialplanning for their transition. Through ourpartnership with Department of Labor,service members continue to develop theirIndividual Transition Plan (ITP), under-stand job search organization, obtain andpractice interview skills and learn tips onhow to parlay their valuable transferableskills to a corporate or federal resume.The Veterans Affairs presenters educate

service members on their VA educationand health benefits, disability claims,forms and how to use the eBenefits websiteto track their status and more.After the five-day Transition GPS

course, service members have the oppor-tunity to attend one of our three differenttwo-day tracks, which are specialized forthose who want to start or continue theirhigher education with a traditional asso-ciate’s or bachelor’s degree, complete train-ing in a technical or vocational school, orbecome an entrepreneur and start a busi-

ness. These training tracks are best suitedto those who have already attended GPS,but that’s not mandatory.Ideally at this point, service members

still have at least three months left beforeEOAS or terminal leave and will need toattend a Capstone Workshop. This ismeant to ensure that all of the CareerReadiness Standards have been met andany necessary referrals are given. Work-shop attendees should have their ITP, re-sume, budgets and other required docu-ments completed before attending.Transitioning active duty personnel have

priority registration for all GPS classes,but spouses are welcome and encouragedto attend.If you have any questions about the

Transition GPS program or if you wantto register for the course, contact yourCommand Career Counselor if you haveone. If your command doesn’t have aCCC, please contact the Fleet & FamilySupport Center at 805-982-5037 for as-sistance.

ing injury in the workplace,” explainedRamona Pagel, manager of the Bee-Fit.“The whole purpose is to keep peoplehealthy, productive and doing what theywant to be doing.”The equipment, valued at more than

$22,000, came from a $300,000 Navy Fit-ness grant that is supplying new equipmentto installations all over the world as partof the Navy’s new training regimen calledNOFFS—NavyOperational Fitness andFueling System.Inmid-April, sevenpiecesof FreeMotion

equipment and two new treadmills will beinstalled at Warfield Gym, according toMorale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR)managers on base.Like the older Life Fitness equipment,

FreeMotion incorporates a system ofcables, pulleys and weights that allows theuser to control the intensity of the work-out.What makes it different is that it uses

hand grips and foot straps instead of barsso users can rotate their arms and legs andincrease the range of motion.Each piece also allows users to sit or

stand; standing works the core andstrengthens balance.Kovit Markklam, a retiree who now

works in quality control and safety, wasusing the FreeMotion lift machine a fewdays after the equipment was installed. Itmimics a dead lift and strengthens theextremities and lower back.“It’s awesome,” he said. “It’s a lot

smoother than the older machines.”Pagel said the lift forces users to imitate

the motions they do at work and in day-to-day life and strengthen themuscles usedin those motions.“Lifting and turning require strong hips

and core as well as strong extremities,” shesaid.Moving into a lunge works different leg

and hip muscles and strengthens a differ-ent part of the core.The FreeMotion step machine also

works the core, legs and hips. But if theuser turns sideways, it mimics an entirelydifferent everyday motion: getting in andout of a high truck or van.The other 10 machines are the squat,

quad, hamstring, abdominal, row, bicep,tricep, shoulder, chest and lat.Each machine has drawings that show

the proper way to do different exercises.

Pagel offered the following tips:• Always start low with the weights and

build up over time. Too much weight toosoon can damage the very muscles you’retrying to strengthen.•Make sure your core is strong and tight

before you begin lifting. “Press the bellybutton to the spine,” is how Pagel putsit.• Start slow on a newmachine. “Do one

set and wait to see where you’re sore thenext day and adjust accordingly,” Pageladvised. “I see people come in and do twoor three sets and then not be able to walkthe next day. Go slow.”She recommends that since it’s a circuit-

training system, “do one set on everythingto see how it works.”The new FreeMotion treadmill offers

the most intense workout of any treadmillon base, Pagel said.“At a 30-degree incline, just walking will

give you an intense workout,” she said.The Bee-Fit is open from 6 a.m. to 6:30

p.m. Monday through Thursday.
