Question: As a civilian at Point Mugu, I would

like to be able to eat at the chow hall for lunch. The

only choices I have are Subway, the taco truck or

The Point, which isn’t even open when I go to lunchat 10 a.m. (I start work at 5 a.m.). I am allowed only

30 minutes for lunch, so off base is not an option.

Why can’t I eat in the galley?

Answer: This expresses a common concern

— one of which I am very aware and that I have

made a top priority to resolve.

The galley is subsidized by appropriated funds for the purpose of providing subsistence to Sailors

living in the barracks on Rations in Kind. The sur-

charge fees do not cover the entire cost of the meal,

and the real costs are much higher.

Therefore, the focus becomes finding alternative

dining sites at Point Mugu.

On May 30, we will be closing The Point, and on

June 14, we will open the Flightline Cafe and RecCenter in the building that previously housed the

Paradise Grill and, before that, Taco del Mar. It will

be run by Morale, Welfare and Recreation and will

be open weekdays from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Flightline will include Starbucks, with all your favorite coffee drinks, including lattes, mac-

chiatos and frappuccinos. The breakfast menu will

include both hot meals (eggs, pancakes and break-

fast burritos) and freshly baked goods; lunch and

dinner will include sandwiches, pizza, salads, soups

and a daily special.

We are committed to offering high-quality, af-

fordable options for the valued military and civilianworkforce of Point Mugu.

Why are there so few dining options at Point Mugu?

In recognizing May as Military Appre-ciation Month, the Ventura County Boardof Supervisors thanked the Black Eaglesof Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squad-ron 113 (VAW-113) for their “selfless ser-vice” in Operation Tomodachi, a relief effort to help the survivors of the 9.0-mag-

itude earthquake and resulting tsunamioff the coast of Japan earlier this year.

“On March 13,” two days after thequake, “the USS Ronald Reagan was firston the scene in Japan to carry out Opera-tion Tomodachi that would provide much-

eeded humanitarian assistance and di-saster relief,” Supervisor Kathy Long,whose districtincludes partof Naval BaseVenturaCounty, read at theMay 10 Boardof Supervisors meeting.

On board the USS Ronald Reagan

(CVN 76) were the Black Eagles. Usingsensors internal to the E-2 Hawkeye air-craft, they searched for survivors andcontrolled various rotary wing search andrescue assets.

Helicopters from Carrier Air Wings 14and 5, the Japanese Self Defense Forceand civilian agencies soon arrived. As theairspace became increasingly congested,VAW-113 took control and ensured safepassage of all military and civilian rescueand supply aircraft, the supervisors said.

The helicopter squadrons moved inland,delivering much-needed supplies to thosein distress. During the nearly five-hourmissions, VAW-113 provided commandand control as well as a communicationsrelay for helicopter crews who flew intothe disaster-stricken areas.

“Controlling up to 20 aircraft duringevery mission, they prioritizedthose land-ing zones in greatest need with helicoptersand specialized loads of food, water, med-icineand relief supplies,”the proclamationreads.

In the May 5 edition, we started a brief list of resources that greatly enhance ourlives as military spouses. In this edition,we continue with more of those resourcesto keep in our arsenal.

• Child Development Center (CDC):The CDC provides a development pro-gram for children ages 6 weeks through 5

years old. They are accredited by the Na-tional Association for the Education of Young Children. Demand is high forCDCs. Contact your local base CDC forapplication and availability as well asfees.

• Child Development Homes (CDH):CDHs, like CDCs, are licensed and ac-credited. For those who might prefer amore home-like atmosphere for their child,the Navy offers a CDH program wherechild care is provided from their homes.CDHsprovide the samelevelof high-qual-ity care found in CDCs but are often ableto offer more flexibility in services. CDHsare requiredto meetNavy childcare guide-lines, and many are also licensed by thestate as well. CDH providers offer devel-opmental programs, and they receivetraining and home visits on a monthly

basis. CDH subsidy is available for alleligible families.

• Child and Youth Programs (CYP):CYP provides child care, youth recre-ational programs and services for eligiblechildren and youth ages 4 weeks to 18years of age. Programs include transitionservices, oversight of CDCs and CDHs,school age care, school liaison officers andmuch more. Check with your local CYPoffice for programs and services at yourbase.

• FFSC counseling: We have mentionedFFSC, but I want to specifically talk about

their counseling services. FFSCcounselorsprovide counseling and crisis interventionfor Sailors and spouses to include indi-vidual, marriage and family counseling,child counseling, deployment support,education and training such as parentingsupport and stress or anger management,and IA/GSA support. All counselors are

fully qualified and credentialed to serveyou.

• TRICARE: A column in itself, TRI-CARE is the health care program servingthe military community. They offer com-prehensive, affordable health coveragewith several health plan options, a robustpharmacy benefit, dental options andmore. Once you are enrolled in DEERS(Defense Enrollment EligibilityReportingSystem – your Sailor enrolls you in thesystem once married) you can visit yourlocal TRICARE Office at the base hospi-tal or clinic or log on to www.tricare.mil.

• United Concordia: UC is the providerfor the military’s dental program. Toomany military families are not aware of this benefit. This is a voluntary program,and you must enroll for coverage. Fees are

incredibly low for the benefit! Log on towww.tricaredentalprogram.com for planinformation and to enroll. You’ll be gladyou did!

• Navy Legal Services Office: Their mis-sion is “tosupport theU.S. Navy and theirfamilies with the very best in legal ser-vices.” This office provides free legal sup-

port, and let me encourage you to utilizethis benefit. Services include tax informa-tion, claims, pre-deployment documents(power of attorney, wills, advance direc-tives, etc), and legal services, includingcontract reviews (rentals, etc.).

Again, this list is far from exhaustive,but it is a start to the resources that areavailable to help us “navigate” the watersof military life.

As a new spouse it might seem over-whelming, butwith resources and support,you’ll findthis life, while unique and chal-lenging, is incredibly rewarding.

Summertime may mean vacation timefor some families, but for many militaryfamilies it also means moving time.

Many families with school-agechildrendotheir best to plantheir PCS movedur-ing the summer to alleviate some of thestress of transitioning during the schoolyear. However, a summer relocation does

ot necessarily equate to a stress-freeove.When considering children and teens,oves are difficult no matter what time

f year they are made. Before the schoolear ends, there are a few things to con-ider in making the move a bit easier.

Most important is honest and openommunication. No one, including a child,ants to be surprised with a move. Un-

derstandably, exact dates may not be avail-able. However, most children will appreci-ate knowing that a move is in the nearfuture and that they may not be returningo their current school when the school

year begins in the fall.Encourage children to share contact

information with their friends as theschool year winds down. There are so

any opportunities for children to stay in

contact with one another. Depending ontheir age, letters, phone calls, texts or socialmedia can provide communication thatwill make your child feel a sense of com-fort communicating with someone famil-iar even when they are in a new place.

It is also important for parents to let theschool know that a student will not bereturning. If a parent does not notify theschool, theschool will notknow until thechild does not show up during the firstweek of school or when the new schoolrequests transcripts — often once theschool year has begun. Schools plan class-

es and student placement based on thenumber of children they expect to return.It is best for all students if the schoolknows your child will not be returning.

Parents: Do not pack birth certificates,immunization records or final report cards.The new school will require these docu-ments to enroll. You may want to enroll

your students before your householdgoods arrive. Also, if a student is receivingspecial education services, parents shouldhave copies of the Individualized Educa-tion Plan (IEP) on hand.

Research schools and neighborhoodsbefore deciding on housing. Every Navyinstallation has a school liaison officer(SLO). Call your local SLO to get the con-tact information for theSLO at your newinstallation. The SLO can give you infor-mation about school choice in the area,registration and youth services.

As comfortable as parents would like tomake their children feel about a move,sometimes hearing or reading about itfrom another child’s perspective helps. TheDepartment of Defense has created a web-site, Military Youth on the Move. The siteis an easy-to-use resource that reaches out

to youth with creative ways to cope withissuesthat arise in the face of a move, suchas transitioning to a new school, sayinggoodbye to friends and getting involvedin a new community.

Each page contains age-specific adviceon a given topic,answers to common ques-tions and helpful links for additional in-

formation and guidance. The site is filledwith bright colors, photographs andquotes from other youth to make the sitefriendly and engaging.

The website is divided into three targetaudiences: elementary school, middleschooland high school. Users simplyclickon their age group to get started. Onceinside the site, users search different top-ics that pertain to both military youth inparticular and youth in general. Highschool teens can also find topics tailoredto their needs such as preparing for lifeafter high school, opening up a bank ac-count, and writing a resume. To access it,visit http://apps.mhf.dod.mil/myom.

any K-12 education-related questions.

Lately I’ve been asked by married cou-ples how to enhance their communicationwith one another whilst on deployment.

Here’s what typically happens while oneis deployed: The service member callshome whenever they can (maybe daily,maybe once a week) and the spouse (usu-ally a wife) will ask, “How are things?

How’s work?” of which the member re-plies, “Fine. Good. Same old.” Then themember (usually a husband) will ask thesame of the spouse, of which the reply isa lengthy and well-intentioned disserta-tion of every detail of life back home.These conversations usually leave bothpeople frustrated and feeling like they’remissing the mark in terms of communica-tion.

So here’s what I propose couples do.Askeach other these two simple questionsduring times of separation: “What wasthe high point of your day (or days de-pending on time between calls home)?”and “What was the low point of yourday?” For the husband, these high/lowquestions call them to deeper reflection

on their day and even engage them on anemotional level. They’ll have to considerwhat the best and worst of a day is, andin doing so, share more deeply than theusual, “My day was fine, we built somestuff and got dirty — it’s the same everyday.”

When spouses at home answer thesequestions, they have the opportunity tokeep the communication focused on them,the very reason their deployed spousecalled in the first place, and not on all the

details that can seem trivial. These high/low questions can also satisfy their needto have their deployed spouse open upabout their life and go deeper than theshallow, “I’m fine, it’s all the same” lineof communication.

The other good aspect to these ques-tions is that they can open up further

dialogue, continuing to satisfy both peo-ple’s desire for a growing relationship asopposed to a stagnating marriage whereit feels the “pause” button has beenpushed.

If you’re reading this and you reallywant your Seabee/spouse to know thistoo, don’t worry. This is a pretty simplecommunication technique to employ.

Another great aspect to the high/lowcommunication is that it doesn’t have towait until deployment. You can start nowby asking these questions at the dinnertable.

You may just find that the highs andlows of deployment communication canbe a blessing at homeport as well as ondeployment.

How to keep all channels open during a deployment

Holocaust survivors Charles Pierce andBernd Simon visited Naval Air Warfare

Center Weapons Division at Point Muguon May 3 to tell of the experiences theyendured in Nazi concentration camps.

The presentation, held as part of Na-tional Days of Remembrance, drew morethan 80 people at Point Mugu, while Chi-na Lake employees watched by VTC.

Pierce, who spoke at Naval Base Ven-tura County, Port Hueneme, last year, wasaccompanied by his son, Mark, and wife,Libby. As they did last year, the son readfrom a book about his father’s life, whilethe elder Pierce answered questions after

the presentation.Charles Pierce, who lives in Camarillo’s

Leisure Village, survived six years of im-prisonment, torture and forced labor insix Nazi concentration camps, includingAuschwitz and Dachau. When he wasliberated by U.S. Army soldiers in 1945,he weighed only 60 pounds.

His book is highly detailed, and Piercewas asked how he was able to rememberso many dates and places.

“My body was shot,” he said, “but myhead was still working.”

Anyone who has visited the commissaryor Navy Exchange at Naval Base VenturaCounty, Port Hueneme, lately has experi-enced the ongoing construction to rede-sign the parking lot, realign Addor Laneto alleviate traffic and make the area saf-er for drivers and pedestrians.

With construction expected to continuethrough late August, here are some tipsto makethe next few weeks easier as work

continues:• NEX General Manager Anna Esguer-ra recommends shopping early in themorning — the NEX opens at8 a.m. — orafter 6 p.m. when the parking lot isn’t ascrowded.

• People who aren’tdoing business atornear the NEX or commissary should useother parking lots. For example, if youhave business at the Fleet & Family Sup-port Center, the bowling alley or the PostOffice, use the parking lot in front of the

FFSC, Building 1169.• Handicapped parking is still available

in front of the NEX and on the west endnext to the Garden Shop.

• Do not park along 27th Street as thatis now the designated truck route for ship-ments to the commissary and NEX.

• Trying to get to the Warfield Gym?Don’t turn at the NEX. Keep drivingdown to Harris, then turn left, and turnleft again on 27th.

• Do not movebarricades or cones andtry to drive through areas that are underconstruction.

“Patrons should allow plenty of time topark and have a little patiencethrough theduration of the project,” Esguerra said.

“Times are toughfor our youngSailorsand Marines,” she said. “With gas andfood prices going up weekly, I’m pleasedthat we had an increase of 1 percent. Iknow this means that command represen-tatives worked harder this year to makesure 100 percent of their personnel weregiven the opportunity to contribute.”

Gamble gave a special thank you to allcommand representatives and the funddrive coordinators for NBVC, Lt. JamesJones from the Galley andChief ReligiousProgram Specialist Alan Grow from theSeabee Chapel.

competitive event at NBVC Point Mugu,with several more showing up before therace started, and about 25 ran at NBVCPort Hueneme.

“A lot of kids ended up running morethan they thought theywould,”said Brett

ane, theyouth sports coordinator for thebasewho organized the event. “They lovedthat feeling of accomplishment once theyran half a mile or a mile, and quite a fewof them said, ‘OK, now I’m ready to run

ore!’”Children ages 5 and 6 were encouraged

o run half a mile, ages 7 and 8 one mile,nd ages 9 through 13 two miles.“This is a great opportunity for kids to

ome out and enjoy some physical activ-ty and get some fresh air,” said Capt.

David Sasek, chief staff officer of NBVC.Hisdaughter Dani, 10, and sonDJ, 7, bothran in the Port Hueneme event.

Utilitiesman 1st Class Jesus Escamillaof the 31st Seabee Readiness Group ranhalf a mile with his 6-year-old son, Jes-se.

“I’m tryingto keep him as activeas pos-

sible while showing my support,” Esca-milla said.

All children who took part received aT-shirt.

The 9th Annual America’s ArmedForc-es Kids’ Run provides 21,875 militarydependent children the opportunity toparticipate this month at 178 Navy and

Air Force bases and Army forts and gar-risons worldwide.

In 1986, 3,800 children took part in thefirst run in Spokane, Wash. Over the past24 years, 198,000 children ages 5 to 13have enjoyed the run in Spokane, and in2002, it became a regular event at militarybases.

American Gold Medalist Jesse Owenssaid, “Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of compe-tition. Awards become corroded, friendsgather no dust.”

Nowhere was this spirit of contest moreprevalent than at the annual Sea CadetFlagship Competition hosted by NavalBaseVenturaCountyon April 30 andMay1.

This flagship competition was attendedby 397 Sea Cadets representing 22 unitsthroughout SouthernCalifornia and West-ern Nevada. Events included line heaving,firefighting, knot-tying, formal and infor-mal drill and personal inspections. Eachunit was graded on performance, and thecompetition was stiff all weekend.

Taking home the first-place trophy wasthe Betsy Ross Division of the San Fer-nando Valley, which is the only all-femaleunit in the country. Second place wasawarded to the Bryce Canyon Division of Sherman Oaks, the only all-male divisionin the country. Rounding out the top wasthe Trident Patrol Squadron 65 from Na-

val Base Ventura County, Point Mugu.Despite the heavy winds on Saturday,

the scheduled events went off without ahitch. In fact, theonly events affectedwerethe line heavy and firefighting competi-tion.

“The wind created a scenario that re-quired units to ‘adapt and overcome,’ andstill meet the mission,” said Regional Di-rector Lt. Cmdr. Vahan Manoogian, whocoordinated the event.

“The competition has been at NBVCon and off based on berthing availabilityfor the last 43 years, with thefirst flagshipcompetition taking place in 1968,” re-marked Manoogian. “Working with theSea Cadet program is a great opportunityto help in the development of young peo-

(Editor’s note: This is the fourth in aseries following a high-schooler’s experi-ence at A school.)

Half of the Channel Islands HighSchool students who have gone throughthe Navy’s Construction Mechanic ASchool in Port Hueneme are nowinterningin the service departments of local cardealerships – something they say probablywouldn’t have happened hadtheynot gonethrough the program.

“In the military program, I got to see

how everything works together, and that’sprobably the most important thing,”saidPablo Diaz, 17, who’s now an intern atDCH Toyota of Oxnard.

“The foundation in mechanics was in-credible,” said Manuel Mercado, 18, whois interning alongside Pablo.

“It taught me a good attitude,” saidBryan Arangorin, 18, who’s interning at

DCH Honda of Oxnard. “I learned theimportance of punctuality as well as goodstudy skills.

ter at Naval Base Ventura County, PortHueneme, allowed Pablo, Manuel, Bryanand two other Channel Islands HighSchoolstudentsto go through the11-weekA school curriculum alongside Navy and

Air Force students. Two students fromHuenemeHighSchoolare currently finish-ing up the program, along with anotherChannel Islands student, Andrew Geer,17.

Pablo, Manuel and Bryan, together withArturo Santiago, 18, talked earlier this

onth about being able to attend theNCTC school and whether they think it

ade a difference in their education.“It was a great opportunity to learn a

lot of skills compared to what I’ve been

learning in high school,” Bryan said. “Ithink it gave me a betterchance of gettingthe internship.”

Arturo plans to enlist in the Air Forceafter he graduates.

“I enjoyed the experience of beingaround military people,” he said.

It is still undecided whether he will need

to repeat A school after boot camp; hiscase is being reviewed.

NCTC Chief Construction MechanicJeff Bright said coursework credit is some-thing that needs to be examined as theprogram continues. Currently, high schoolstudents receive only credits toward high

school graduation, even though they’re onbase from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. five days aweek anddo independent studyfor therestof their classes outside of that schedule.

The automotive teacher at Channel Is-lands High School agrees that needs to bechanged.

“Their schedule is pretty intense,” saidJonathan Throckmorton. “These kids areworking hard.”

He appreciates the Navy giving his stu-dents this opportunity.

“They’re learning a good work ethic,”he said. “It’s beneficial in so many ways.”

Sodo the A school graduates have advicefor the next incoming class?

“Be prepared to wake up early,” Pablosaid.

“Be dedicated and committed to theprogram,” Manuel said. “Do what they

tell you to do, and you’ll get a lot out of it.”

Bryancompares the programto a com-munity college curriculum.

“You’ll have access to a program that’s

like what you’d get at a vocational schoolor a community college andyou don’t haveto pay for it,” he said. “You start havinggood work experience, too. It looks goodon a resume.”

Arturo’s advice was simple:“Stay dedicated,” he said. “And have

fun.”

chute rigger 3rd class, was deemed ineli-gible for the Ultimate Champion eventbecause he had competed in the WorldParatriathlon Championships in 2010.

Now Heldrethwill try for the pentathlon

— a 50-meter freestyle swim, 10-meterprone air rifle shoot, 100-meter sprint,shot put, and 30-kilometer bike ride — along with John C. Edmonston, a formerNavy lieutenant.

“A big load of potatoes got dropped onAaron,” said James “Will” Wilson, theteam captain and adaptive athletics coor-dinator of Navy Safe Harbor, the Navy’slead organization that assists seriouslywounded, ill and injured Navy and CoastGuard personnel. “When we lost Mike, I

called Aaron and asked how he was feel-ing.He saidhe was doing well, and I askedhim how he felt about taking on three ex-tra sports. He said it was a lot to train for,but he told me that when he does some-thing, he does it 100 percent, and that’sall I needed to hear.”

Wilson recently visited Naval Base Ven-turaCounty to coordinate the packing andshipping of all equipment used by theNavy and Coast Guard Wounded War-

riors duringtheirtrainingcamps in Febru-ary and December at NBVC.Heldreth missed the first camp — he

was deployed overseas at the time — andparticipated only in oneday of thesecondcamp because he had the flu.

“Aaron has some bigshoes to fill,” Wil-son said. “But his physical prowess, hisattitude, his unwillingness to settle foranything but excellence – this quiet kid isgoing to pass everyone up.”

To be named Ultimate Champion, Hel-

dreth must accumulate the most pointscombined in the five events. He also hasthe chance to medal in each one.

Last year, a Navy athlete was namedUltimate Champion.

“We’ll do our darndest to repeat that,”Wilson said.

As a diver, Heldreth’s No. 1 sport isswimming, but that wasn’t always the case.He swam in his hometown of Barstow,Calif., until he was 12 years old — evencompeting in the Southern California Ju-nior Olympics when hewas 11— but thenthe city’s only pool shut down. With nopool at the high school either, Heldrethswitched to cross country and gym work-outs.

“I didn’t swim again until I joined theNavy,” he said.

He was 17 when he enlisted, hoping tobecome a Navy SEAL. But unbeknownstto him, he was partially color-blind, so hebecame a Seabee instead.

“I didn’t know anything about the Sea-bees, and after everyone started tellingmeabout them, I realized it sounded awe-some,” he said. “I got lucky.”

On Oct.13, 2008, Heldrethwas involvedin an automobile accident in San Diegothat would eventually result in the loss of his left leg below the knee. For more thana year, he was in and out of Naval Medi-cal Center San Diego, undergoingfurtheramputations and surgeries to reconstructhis left knee. His younger brother was astudent at the University of California,San Diego, and had an apartment that

becamehome base for visiting friends andfamily, including his mother, Robbie Wil-lets, who moved in for four months whileher son recuperated.

A year and a half later, Heldreth re-turned to active duty with a diving pros-

thetic that provides buoyancy so he cando construction work underwater whilemaintaining his balance.

“It’s not like anything got harder, I justhad to learn different ways to do things,”he explains. “Sometimes it takes a bit tofigure out how to get something done – the best body position, the best angle. Ihad to relearn some things.”

Heldreth lives in Oxnard with CrystalBrewer, whom he met just before the 2008accident. She visited him in the hospital,

and when he was released, the two trav-eled to Costa Rica. They’ve been togeth-er ever since.

Training for the Warrior Games hasbeen a challenge because Heldreth’s de-tachment is so small.

“We can have anywhere from 10 to 13people and when there’s only 10 and Ileave, that’s 10 percent of the detach-ment,” he said. “That’s tough.”

But he and his command found thetime, and now he’s ready.

“I am here at the Warrior Games tohelp Team Navy-Coast Guard as muchas I can,” he said. “I hope to inspire oth-ers — both wounded warriors and specta-tors — to live up to their full potential.”

First-grade teacher Sarah Puglisicould tell that something was amisswith tiny Athena Cimafranca.

The normally bubbly 6-year-old just wasn’t into drawing somethingabout strawberries.

“I remember that Athena was es-pecially gloomy on the day of this

assignment because her dad, whoserves in the U.S. Navy, had just leftfor eight weeks of training,” Puglisirecalled. “She was missing him al-ready, so I suggested that she drawsomething cheerful to help lift herspirits.”

The result was a smiling straw-berry that would go on to win firstplace in the 2011 California Straw-berry Festival Youth Art DesignContest, beating out 733 other entries

from children in grades K-6 in Ox-nard, Hueneme and Ocean Viewschool districts.

On Thursday, April 28, HuenemeSchool District officials gathered atJulien Hathaway Elementary Schoolwhere Festival Chairwoman DaisyTatum presented Athena’s class with

a surprise pizza party.Athena received a $100 gift cer-

tificate, and Puglisi received one for$50.

Athena’s mom, Herchelle, was onhand for the festivities. Dad Lowell,a firefighter, wasstill in Navy training

at Great Lakes, Ill., learning to be agas turbine mechanic, but he wasoverjoyed by the news that Herchellehad given him over the phone earli-er.

“He’s in tears,” Herchelle said. “Hekept saying, ‘That’s me! She defi-nitely got it from me!’”

While Athena and her dad dospend time together on art projects,some of the credit has to go to Pug-lisi, a teacher for 30 years who hasput her master’s degree in art togood use in her first-grade class-room. Intricate art pieces — some-thing you’d expect in a third- or

fourth-grade classroom, not first — hang on the walls and across dry-ing stations throughout the class-room.

“Improved art skills are reflectedin reading and math,” Puglisi said.“I want to see growth in all areas. Ialso believe that art makes a studentmore aware and more culturallysavvy.”

She praised district officials forallowing her the “space and sup-

port” to carry on with an art cur-riculum during these times when somuch emphasis is placed on stan-dardized test scores.

Athena’s design will adorn T-shirtsbeing sold in the souvenir tent at thefestival.

A total of 33 flights encompassing 134flight hours “ensured the effective deliveryof 325,495 pounds (160 tons) of suppliesto over 74 landing sites, supporting over163,000 displaced persons,” the supervi-

sors said.

For the past several years, Long hasspearheaded an effort to thank a militaryunit during Military Appreciation Month.This year, VAW-113 was chosen for thehonor.

“The Ventura County Board of Super-

visors expresses their admiration to the

Black Eagles for their selfless service inOperation Tomodachi and proclaims themonth of May 2011 as “Military Appre-ciation Month” in honor of all their ex-traordinary endeavors and sacrifices,”thesupervisors said.

(MWR) as part of the Recreational Lodg-ing Group. The Navy Getaways programis separate from Navy Gateway Inns &Suites, which is reserved for business trav-el. Navy Getaways includes 47 recreation-al lodging destinations offering RV spac-

es,cottages,cabins, hotel-like guest rooms,yurts, tent sites and bunkhouses.Navywide, the recreational facilities are

undergoing some new standardizations,and Eldredge hopes to become a majorpart of that.

“Some of the other facilities, especiallythose in remote areas, still make reserva-tions on paper,” she said. “Our organiza-tion needs a reservation system that willmake us more efficient.”

There are times when both the motel

and RV park are full, but at other times,especially during the winter, they can runas low as 40 percent occupancy. Eldredgehopes to change that over the next fewyears, and not just with a more efficientreservation system. Plans call for the BeachMotel tobe renovated in 2012 or 2013 andfor the RV park to get new wiring, newhookups, a workout facility and possiblya beachfront restaurant.

Already, the rooms have been furnishedwith new linens – a $7,000 upgrade – andthe doors have been hooked up to a newelectronic locking system.

The last two winters have been espe-cially rough on the RV Park. In Februaryof 2010, campers staying on the beach-front sites had to move back because of high seas, and this year the entire RV Parkand the Beach Motel were evacuated fora few hoursbecause of the tsunami threatafter the earthquake in Japan.

“Out here, with all the elements, you

have to have a lot of patience,” Eldredgesaid. “Once you cross the lagoon, it’s likebeing on your own little island out here.Power cango out, the Internet goes down.We can’t process credit cards, and we can’tmake reservations.”

But most of the time, she added, it’s a

beautiful place to work.“I learned how to relax out here,” she

said. “I walk on the beach. I do myyoga.”

Job stress used to be a way of life forEldredge, who entered the hospitality fieldthrough the restaurant business.

“I started in restaurants when I was 14,”she said.

As a teenager in Colorado, she busedand waited tables, thenworked as a pastrychef and line cook.

Then came the Culinary Institute of America in Denver and two straight yearsof serving as a backup chef for the Tel-luride Food and Wine Festival.

After that, she became a chef herself,working at restaurants in Denver; Wash-ington, D.C.; and Nashville.

The big change came seven years ago,when Eldredge’s mother needed a hip re-placement. Eldredge dropped everythingand moved to California to help her. Shesaw an ad in the Ventura County Star and

faxedher resume to MWR. She was hiredin food services and worked at The Pointand Nap’s for four years before movingover to the Beach Motel and RV Park.

She spent thefirst six months organizingpaperwork, reviewing the budget, planningrenovations and hiring new staff. Afterthree years, several of those she hired stillwork for her.

“She bringsnew ideas to the table,” saidRecreational Assistant Mary Martinez.“She treats her staff well, and she’s just agood person to be around.”

Eldredge, a self-described “beach girl,”says her ultimate goal is to open a bed-and-breakfast somewhere near a beach.Even though she’s served an estimated 1million meals, she still enjoys cooking,especially soups, her own chili verde rec-ipe and seafood “with a little flair to it, alittle spice.”

But she has to cook it near a beach.“The beach has helpedme learn to take

care of myself,” she said. “Spiritually,mentally, this place helps me so that I canbe a leader to my staff. Here, I can absorbthings and think about things and not justreact to things. You come down here andyou take it all in. You learn to relax.”

The second speaker, Simon, experiencedWorld War II from several different per-spectives. He was imprisoned in Germany’sfirst concentration camp, Dachau, from1938 to 1939. He escaped and fled to theUnited States via Cuba. Then he servedn the U.S. Army Air Corps beginning in

1942, flying B-24 bombers over Italy. Andfter the war, he became a Nazi hunter.“These tell the storyof mylife,” he said,

ointing to displays of his World War IIemorabilia.He said his life proves one thing: “You

an do anything in this country of urs.”A Ventura resident since 1948, Simon

rges the public to stay informed and totay aware of the world around them.

“You need to listen to the news,” heaid.

And there had been some big news twoays before his presentation — the an-ouncement of the death of Osama binaden.Simon did not waste the moment.“I want to take this opportunity to

Five-hundred brave souls and twice asmany spectators showed up for the MudRun on Saturday, May 7, with some com-petitors trying to win and others tryingfor — well, something else.

Serious racers tried taping their shoesaround their feet so they wouldn’t come

off — with mixed success.The less serious couldn’t decide wheth-

er to take off their tutus before jumpingin the mud, and one decided to keep hisduck suit on the entire race.

Yes, duck suit.“You don’t look like a chicken,” one

spectator yelled to Christian Nightingale,44, whose bird costume had gone from abright yellow to a sickly greenish brown-ish gray.

“That’s because I’m a duck,” he yelled

back.Twelve women arrived in tank tops em-

blazoned with “Just Us Girls” and blacktutus over their pants. By the end of themuddy obstacle course, some of the tutuswere gone.

“It’s out there somewhere,” one of thewomen yelled.

In what has become an annual traditionat NBVC, the Naval Construction Train-ing Center constructs an obstacle courseof trenches, hills, tunnels, tires, floating

logs and a dreaded rope crossing. Seenfrom above, the course is shaped“NCTC.”

The race is open to both military andthe general public. Competitors first runtwo miles, then begin the obstacle coursethat starts with a chest-high wade andends with a deep-water swim that washeseveryone off.

Coming in first this year was StephenOtradovec, 20, who is attending the Na-vy’s Construction Mechanic A School atPort Hueneme. He finished in 37 minutes,58 seconds.

“When I hit the water the first time,that was definitely the hardest,” hesaid.

The last-place finishers came in almostone hour later.

Alison Kusay repeated her first-placefinish among women with a time of 38

minutes, 26 seconds, fifth place overall.“It was a tough, challenging course,”

she said. “It felt longer this year.”Several said they planned to return next

year.“The rope was the hardest,” said Carlos

Cordero, who works at NAVAIR. “Oth-er than that, it was a piece of cake.”

Then he laughed.“Yeah,” he said. “Bring it on!”All times are posted on www.etern-

About 200 military spouses enjoyedsome much-deserved pampering onThursday, May 5, courtesy of the Fleet& Family Support Center.

Makeovers and massages were justtwo of the treats offered during theMilitary Spouses Appreciation event,held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the FFSC,

Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hue-neme.

“Everyone is smiling, and that’s whatwe were hoping for,” said Laura Han-son, who coordinated the FFSCevent.

Melissa Butler, who was getting herhair styled by Erika Fleitz of Alejandro

Salon in Ventura, appreciated the chanceto relax and enjoy some “me time.”

“I think i t’s really great they’re doingthis for us,” said Butler, whose husband,

Curtis, is halfway through his deploy-ment as a senior chief aviation electron-ics technician with VAW-113. “This wassuch a nice surprise.”

Especially thankful for the event wasNedy Trent. Just the day before, she andher husband, Command Master Chief Percy Trent Jr. of Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalion 3, celebrated their11th wedding anniversary – apart.

“He’s deployed, but he called yester-day,” she said. “So I’m here having funwith two of my friends.”

In addition to the makeovers, therewere raffles and drawings for itemsranging from hotel stays to cameras.

Hanson said many people don’t real-ize the stress military spouses are under.The long periods without their partnerand the frequent and often sudden re-locations can take a toll.

“It’s good to see these spouses getpampered, just like they deserve,” Han-son said.

SANGIN, Afghanistan — Thirty-fourSeabees from Naval Mobile ConstructionBattalion(NMCB) 3 returned to the safe-ty of Camp Leatherneck last month aftersafely completing two combat outposts(COPs) and improving a critical road insupport of the 2nd MarineExpeditionaryForce.

Since NMCB3’s arrival in Afghanistanin November, the battalion has built morethan five combat outposts and has im-proved three roads.

Most of these Seabees were also on De-tachment Maiwand, where they had

gained valuable contingency constructionexperience by building a patrol base forBritish and NATO forces back in Decem-ber in Helmand province.

“Knowing what to do the second timearound made it a lot easier,” said Equip-ment Operator 3rd Class (SCW) CodyDiehl, whowasamong those whoreturnedto Camp Leatherneck April 6. “I knewthe sweat we put into this mission wasproviding much needed security in thatarea.”

Historically, the area where the detach-ment constructed the COPs and road — along Afghanistan’s Route611 — has beena hotbed of insurgent activity and impro-vised explosive device (IED) attacks.

The road improvements and base con-struction projects enabled the Marines togain control of thearea, said Lt.(j.g.) EliseChapdelaine, NMCB3’s future operationsofficer. This gave the Marines the facilitiesand capability to stabilize that portion of

the Helmand River Valley. Because of theSeabees’hard work and dedication, insur-gent capability has decreased in the re-gion.

The first COP construction consistedof building perimeter walls, a helicopterlanding zone, guard towers and a detain-ee facility.

“None of us have ever built somethinglike this [the detainee facility] so it waspretty unique,” said Builder Construction-man (SCW) Jared Allbritton.

Once the majority of the base was com-plete, the Seabees started to focus on theroad and another COP up north.

Prior to this mission, there was only onepaved road in the Helmand Province,

Highway 1, which runs east to west. Theroad that the detachment was improving,Route 611, connects the province northto south.

Throughout the road project, whichconsisted of preparing the ground to bepaved by others, the Seabees overcamemany obstacles, some of them life-threat-ening. Within the first month of the op-eration, there were seven IEDs foundalong theroute they were workingon. Thisrequired coordination with Explosive Or-dinance Disposal teams to clear the routeso the work could continue.

“It was pretty scary to know we wereworking right where IEDs were placed,”

said Equipment Operator Construction-man (SCW) Jeffrey Andreski, “but know-ingwe were makingimprovements to helpthe NATO forces and the country wasworth it.”

As the road improvement continued, therest of the Seabees moved to a new COPnorth of where they started and beganmaking improvements to its security in-frastructure, including constructing earth-en berms and towers. During this time,the austere living conditions of the Ma-rines became more apparent to the Sea-

bees.“When we first arrived at the location

the Marines were living in holes wearingtheir gear 24/7,” said Builder 3rd ClassAaron Rives. “We felt that we had to get

the berm up as soon as possible as well asmake their living conditions more com-fortable. It was good to see how happythey were at the end of the project.”

The Seabees built a latrine facility, din-ing area and Command Operation Centerfor the Marines. They were extremelyhappy with the improvements built to

make their living more comfortable.Since World War II, U.S. Navy Seabees

have been providing contingency construc-tion and engineering support to the Ma-rine Corps.

select and recognize its best enlisted Sail-or. These Sailors continue to compete at

igher echelons until they reach the finalompetition – the CNO SOY Selectionoard.Calderon, the leading petty officer for

he 31st SRG’s Contingency Constructionrew Training Division, described his

ourney from the 31st SRG to CNO SOYelection boards.

“I went through six boards, two in Port

ueneme, three in Virginia and one in.C. After being selected as the Navalxpeditionary Combat Command SOY,started realizing that I belonged.“At times it was intimidating. Coming

rom a small community, I really had totudy the rest of the Fleet’s mission anduidingprinciples. But I soon realizedthate’re all the same and put our strongest

mphasis and time in the development of ur troops and the well being of our com-

ands,” he said.Sustainedsuperior performance, leader-hip, self-improvement, command andommunity involvement and military ap-earance are the keys to selection. SOYandidates who excel in all these areashile assigned to a demanding and chal-

enging command are given special con-ideration, according to the CNO SOYelection guidelines.

Calderonrecently completedhis Masterraining Mentor Qualification and

chieved a bachelor of arts degreein busi-ess management from the University of a Verne, while at the same time continu-

ng hisSeabeeduties andmentoring juniorailors.“I remember taking college courses in

the field on my phone, long hours, papers,evaluations and teaching courses, andthrough that I had to muster up the en-ergy and continue to see my goal. Wherethere is a will there is a way, go get it,”Calderon offered as encouragement toother Sailors pursuing a goal.

Calderon’s top enlisted leader at the 31stSRG, Command Master Chief John Mul-holland, said, “I was humbled and hon-ored to have had the privilege to attend

the Navy’s Sailor of the Year presentationand ceremony. CE1 Calderon and wifeJamiah were as humble and proud. It’stotally a privilege to work with such high-caliber professionals.”

Calderon attributes much of his success

to the opportunities with the Seabees.“There are so many great things about

being at the 31st, the opportunities areboundless,” he said. “I could not haveasked for a better command. The 31st hasbeen supportive in all tasking. I had manygood chief petty officers come and go andleave behind good guidance and soundleadership. I not only got to learn aboutweapons and tactics, I was reassigned tothe Contingency Construction Training

Division, where I continued to learn thecapabilities of our force.

“The most important thing I learnedfrom this command is that the relationshipof our leaders is crucial to our success,and that we must set the example for oth-

ers as professional instructors andSeabees,and most importantly, Sailors,” he said.

Calderon was born in Guadalajara,Mexico. His familymoved to Los Angeleswhen he was 2 years old, and he grew upthere and joined the Navy shortly aftergraduatingfrom Eagle Rock High Schoolin 1999. He has been a Seabee since 2000and joined the 31st in 2007. He is a vet-eran of numerous deployments includingIraq and the Philippines.

Besides the 31st SRG, he has been as-signed to Construction Battalion Unit

(CBU) 406, Naval Mobile ConstructionBattalion (NMCB) 4 and the Naval Con-struction Training Center (NCTC).

Calderon’s next assignment will takehim to NMCB40, where hewillshapeandmold future Seabee leaders.

“This is my opportunity now to recip-rocate the opportunities that once wereafforded to me and ensure that I continueto uphold the highest standards of per-sonal conduct, and educate myself and

others in the future of our Seabees andour Navy,” he said.“I’m just proud and honored to repre-

sent the Seabees, and I am here becauseof the great people who have contributedand molded meintothe leader I amtoday.They should be proud too,” Calderonsaid.

The 31st SRG provides support to thecommanders, 1st Naval ConstructionRegiment, 9th Naval Construction Regi-ment, 30th Naval Construction Regiment

and their subordinate units. Its Seabee andNavy civilian workforce serve as the per-sonnel receiving and processing activityfordeployed Pacific Fleet NavalConstruc-tion Force units.

HELMAND PROVINCE, AfghanistanSeabees from Naval Mobile Construc-

ion Battalion (NMCB) 3, Detachmenteerkat, completed a vital three-mile sec-

ion of road outside of the protective wallsf Camp Dwyer last month.The Seabees of Det. Meerkat deployed

rom Camp Leatherneck in February toamp Dwyer in order to repair its road

and entry control point that was heavilyamaged during the seasonal rains this

year. They finished the work April 15.The road repair wasa vital improvement

to conditions that made day-to-day trav-el easier for units who will use the road.Because all of the construction was out-side the safety of Camp Dwyer, a Marineunit was on scene to providesecuritywhilethe Seabees made the repairs.

For some of the Seabees,it was a uniqueexperience.

“This is the first time I have been a de-tachment officer in charge,” said Chief Equipment Operator (SCW) Deanna Ro-

bison. “It’s been a challenging learningopportunity, but at thesame time, it’s beengreat fun working out here and trainingthe troops.”

“This project is a good change of pacefor me,” said Equipment Operator 1stClass (SCW) Peter Izarra. “I’m usuallythe license examiner for the command, sogoing from a desk job to coming out hereis great.”

For other Seabees, this is their first de-ployment, and it has been an excitingone.

“Coming straight from A-school to de-ployment is kind of trial by fire,” saidEquipment Operator ConstructionmanChase Kerbrat. “It has been beneficialthough. I have already qualified on 10 dif-ferentpieces of equipment, andI’m almostdone getting my Seabee Combat WarfareQualification!”

The road project took 45 days to com-plete and greatly improved the tacticalandstrategic capabilities of the Marines op-erating out of Camp Dwyer.
