At 87 years of age, Eileen Hunt is retiring fromher civil service job as student services directorfor CECOS, located at Naval Base VenturaCounty, Port Hueneme.

By Andrea HowryLighthouse editor

At the age of 87, and after 56 continuousyears of service to her country — a total of 58 if you factor in her two years in theWAVES — Eileen Hunt is retiring from hercivil service job as student services director

for the Civil Engineer Corps Officers School(CECOS) at Naval Base Ventura County,Port Hueneme.

“I figured this is what I need to do,” saidHunt, who knew some of today’s admiralswhen they walked out the CECOS doors asensigns. “My children think I tire more eas-

ily these days. I don’t think so, but they’reconcerned and they’re begging, so I’ll doit.”

Hunt, known as “Miss Eileen” or “TheCommodore,” could have retired 30 yearsago. Instead, she continued to show up dayafter day, donating her annual leave to oth-

ers and serving out what for many peoplewould have been an entire second career.“She’s a good role model for people who

don’t want to come to work in the morning,”said Susan Lester, public affairs officer for

87-year-old retiring from CECOS

What can be done about unsupervised kids on base?

Q: I have a concern about teenagers and minor

children who no longer or have never lived on base

but have access with their ID or stickers on a car.On more than one occasion I have had kids come

to my house to visit who have not been invited and

show up unannounced that I know do not live here on

base. When questioned, they admit that their parent or

grandparent has dropped them off inside the gate to

let them “hang out” for a few hours with their friends.

But the kids clearly are under no adult care and are

just wandering from house to house to theater to the NEX, etc. What can be done, if anything, to monitor

these kids? What happens if there is an emergency

involving these unsupervised kids?

A: Thank you for your question and concern

regarding unsupervised children aboard Naval Base

Ventura County. This also serves as an important

reminder as we approach the holiday season when

school is not in session.

The base has an instruction, NBVCINST 5510.24B,

that details the ages that children can be at home and

on the base alone. Please be aware, though, that thisinstruction is under review and may change at any

time.

According to the current instruction, children 10

and older can be left alone at home or be allowed

unsupervised outside between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Children 12 and older can be out until midnight on

Fridays, Saturdays and nights before holidays.

I would add that each parent should assess the ma-turity of their children, as some are quite independent

and self-reliant at those ages, while others continue to

need adult supervision.

Children with ID cards are allowed to enter the

base unaccompanied by a parent. As authorized

patrons, they are allowed access to most MWR and

NEX facilities. Many parents believe the installation

As the holiday season gets under way,the Security Management Office is issuinga reminder to all personnel about the strictregulations regarding Foreign Nationals(FNs) aboard Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty.

All FNs — including friends and fam-ily of military personnel living in base

ousing (designated as “unofficial FNvisitors”) — must fill out a Foreign Na-tional Visitor Request Form and fax ore-mail it to the Security Management Of-fice at least 72 hours before they want tocome on base. After approval, they willreceive an orange FN badge that must beworn at all times while on base.

FNs staying in the Catalina Heightsilitary housing complex need not go

through this process unless they want tocome on base for any reason, includingshopping at the commissary or NEX orto use recreational facilities.

Cases involving base access for officialmilitary and civilian work-related reasonsare usually handled via the tenant com-mand’s foreign national security manag-

ers.NBVC defines Foreign Nationals as

individuals 18 and older who are not U.S.citizens or, regardless of citizenship, arerepresenting a foreign government, foreigncorporation, other foreign entity, or anFN doing business with a Department of Defense component or contractor.

This includes companies incorporatedin the U.S., but under foreign ownership,

control or influence.Legal permanent residents with a lawful

permanent resident card are not consid-ered FNs.

Once on base, unofficial FNs must beescorted at all times around the base. Theyare only allowed to stay alone inside a basehousing residence.

Around the holidays, the problemsmostly involve unofficial visits. NBVCSecurity Manager Dorothy Furagganansaid there were abouttwo dozen cases latelast year of FNs trying to gain base accesswithout proper authorization.

The visitor request form and more in-formation concerning the access programcan be downloaded at www.cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm

In this edition, we wrap up our look atthe emotional cycle of deployment.

The final two stages are experienced inthe weeks after service members returnfrom deployment.

Stage 6, “renegotiation of the marriagecontract,” starts shortly after the glow of homecoming wears off and can last up

to six weeks. Many spouses and Sailorsfind themselves blindsided by the chal-lenges of this phase of Navy life.

This stage is one in which the husbandand wife are together physically but notnecessarily emotionally. They may needtime together along with shared experi-ences and feelings before they feel like acouple again. During this stage the taskis to stop being “single” and start beingmarried again. Both need to be aware of the necessity to refocus on their mar-riage.

For instance, after one woman’s hus-band had been home for a few days, shebecame aggravated with him when hewould telephone his shipmate every timesomething of importance came up with-in the family — finally declaring, “I’myour wife, talk to me!”

This stage can include feelings of a lossof independence by the spouse. BothSailor and spouse may find they need toaccommodate changes in each other.

You may remember the account of Anna in the last edition. During thisphase of renegotiation, Anna’s husbandapproached the husband of the ombuds-man regarding the many changes inAnna. He was startled by Anna’s inde-pendence and maturity. He had very realadjustments to make. While Anna re-mainedas madly in love with herhusbandas ever, she also had a new confidence

and feeling of accomplishment. Her hus-band was fearful he may have lost thewife he married. It required communica-tion, acceptance and effort, but thiscouple has found a deeper relationship.

Both Sailor and spouse will have ex-pectations. Men often think of homecom-ing in terms of beer and sex, and not

necessarily in that order. Women thinkof it in terms of affection such as cuddlesand talking. Sex is down the list a bit.

Communication during this time iscrucial. Talk about expectations and dis-cuss what your marriage looks like now.Your marriage will require renegotiationof roles, responsibilities and even the toneand character of your marriage. Success-ful couples say the key is to commit toworking through the changes and chal-lenges.

Take advantage of return and reunionworkshops during this time. You may findit helpful to talk to a chaplain or coun-selor.

One last tip during this stage: Turn off the TV and the computers. Spend timeinteracting. Take long walks, put togeth-er a 5,000-piece puzzle, go on a vacation

or staycation but keep the TV and Inter-net from “filling the gaps” in your rela-tionship.

Stage 7, the last stage, is the reintegra-tion and stabilization phase. This stageis characterized by a new sense of com-fort. Couples have successfully negoti-ated the changes and adjustments in their

marriage relationship. They have ac-cepted new routines and are enjoyingtheir relationship.

Understanding the emotional chal-lenges we face during sea tours and de-ployments can help both Sailor andspouse. When we realize the patterns of behavior or the emotions we are experi-encing are normal, we can take steps toimprove our quality of life.

Quality time with family prior to andafter deployment is essential to maintain-ing a parent-child bond during deploy-

ent. Whether the quality time means aspecial day trip, hanging out at a local

ark or taking part in family readinessgroup activities, this time is valuable to a

ilitary-connected family.

With this essentialquality time in mind,California’s governor has recently signed

bill allowing schools to excuse absencesue to deployment-related absences.hough schools are not required to excuse

bsences, this bill allows schools to receivetateapportionment payments by deeminghem as absences in computing averageaily attendance.Assembly Bill 387 includes as an excused

bsence spending time with an immediateamily member who is on active duty andas been called to duty for, is on leave fromr has immediately returned from deploy-entto a combat zone or combat support

osition.Ultimately, each individual school dis-

rict determines if, when and how deploy-ent-related absences will be excused.AB 387 was authored by Assembly-

woman Susan A. Bonilla (D-Concord)and was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown toclarify existing law to ensure that militarychildren are provided with excused ab-sences from school when a member of their immediate family is being deployedor on leave from active duty.

Bonilla pointed out that the stresscaused by deployment,in addition to wor-ries thatfamilies tend to have, canbe morethan a child can endure.

Prior to AB 387, students could be ex-cused from school for illness, medical ap-

pointment, to attend a funeral for a fam-ily member, jury duty or a few justifiablepersonal reasons. Due to the signing of AB 387, not only will schools receive theaverage daily attendance for the student,but the student will also be allowed tomake up homework and tests while absent.This will ensure the students and schools

are not being penalized for a missed schoolday spent with an active duty parent pri-or to or after a deployment.

If a family is considering taking advan-tage of this new law, it is important toremember a few things:

• Every school district can decide if,when and how an absence will be excusedfor a military deployment reason. There-fore, parents should check with theirchild’s school and district to learn moreabout their absence policy in regards tomilitary deployment.

• Arrangements should be made withthe school and teacherprior to the absencerather than afterwards.

• Students miss a great deal when notin school. Be sure that the absences areappropriate and beneficial to the successof the family.

In 2009, the California Legislaturepassed and the governor signed AB 343to adopt the recommendations from theInterstate Compact Opportunity for Mil-itary Children.

The purpose of the compact was to re-duce the educational obstacles faced bychildren of military personnel when they

are required to transfer from schools inone state to another. The compact ad-dresses differences in state regulationsinvolving immunization requirements,kindergarten and first-grade entrance ages,exit exams and graduation require-ments.

Strides are being made to ensure mili-tary-connected children are allowed theopportunity to receive a comparable edu-cational experience as their non-military-connected student counterparts. AB 343and AB 387 are two examples of the Cal-ifornia Legislature’s commitment to mili-tary-connected students.

A few weeks ago I, along with severalother military and civilian workers, had achance to play wheelchair basketball.

Naval Base Ventura County’s MoraleWelfare and Recreation put together thisgreat opportunity for everyone there toget a little taste of one of the most popu-lar sports offered at Wounded Warrior

Training Camp held at our base.Although I came away with a greater

appreciation for the athletes who playwheelchair basketball — in terms of thesheer athleticism, strength and staminathat is required to compete in this toughsport — I walked out the gym that daywith something more personal.

While sitting in my wheelchair just mo-ments before the beginning of the friend-ly scrimmage, fully strapped in so my legsand feet could not move, I had a momen-tary déjà vu experience of when I visitedsome wounded Soldiers and Marines at ahospital ward a few yearsago. I rememberhow it was an emotional day for me at theward because a couple of those brave he-roes actually deployedto the same area asI did in Mosul, Iraq, either a few monthsbefore or after I returned home in 2008.They were all injured or wounded in theline of duty; now they are relearning tobe active and mobile for the rest of their

lives.I experienced a common reaction that

day, which many veterans share with mewhen they see fellow veterans in a similarsituation: I clearly recalled my own closebrushes with danger as well as those whoserved with me “in the sandbox.” Sadly,some friends did not make it back home;others returned with life-changing injuries

and wounds.After our wheelchair basketball game

ended, I could hear nearly everyone un-strapping themselves, laughing and breath-ing a sigh of relief because they couldmove about freely again.

As I pushed myself out my wheelchair,I too felt a similar sense of physical free-

dom. Most importantly, I came away with

a greater appreciation of what our Wound-ed Warriors have to face on a daily basis.They have shown love for ourcountry andmade incredible sacrifices that most peo-ple could not even fathom.

It is our turn to love them back andshow our support for them. Take a fewmoments to thank a veteran today! Godbless.

Naval Surface Warfare Center(NSWC), Port Hueneme Divi-sion, is in the business of support-ing America’s warfighters, andthat support does not end at the

forward deployed units. Continu-ing that support through NAV-SEA’s Wounded Warrior pro-

ram, the command exceeded itsiscal 2011 goal of hiring 20

wounded service membersby em-loying a total of 31 — an in-

crease of more than 500 percentfrom 2010.

NSWC Port Hueneme’s goal iniring Wounded Warriors sup-orts former Chief of Naval Op-

erations Adm. Gary Roughead’sobjective for the Navy to becomeincreasingly diverse, to build aninclusive climate that retains tal-ent, and to have the Navy recog-

ized as an employer of choicein the United States.

“Our goal is to ensure Wound-

ed Warriors have every opportu-nity and support needed to tran-sition from military to civilianservice,” said Capt. William De-Bow, NSWC Port Hueneme’scommander. “Our success is mea-

sured not only in numbers, but inproviding opportunities forwounded service members toserve their country in a civiliancapacity.”

In the two years since the

Wounded Warrior program be-gan, the command enacted ag-gressive recruiting initiatives,including establishing internaldepartmental hiring goals, devel-oping a fiscal year wounded war-rior recruitingschedule, attendingnine Hiring Heroes Career Fairs

and partnering with the BalboaCareer Transition Center to hostan on-base career fair.

Other partnerships with Veter-ans Affairs offices in Los Angeles,San Diego and Ventura County,Wounded Warriors BattalionWest and non-profit veterans or-ganizations continue to refer re-sumes to NSWC Port Huenemefor employment considerationand skills analysis.

Former Master Sgt. MichaelHeath found employment withNSWC Port Hueneme as theTechnical Manual ManagementCourse lead instructor for NavalSystems Data Support Activity.While serving with the U.S. Ma-rines under Operation Noble

Eagle and Enduring Freedom,Heath was injured twice withgunshot wounds. Initially, heintended to remain on activeduty, but his injuries forced himto retire. Heath spent a year un-dergoing surgery and therapybefore joining the NSWC Port

Hueneme team.“I think the Wounded War-

rior hiring program is outstand-ing and one that the woundeddefenders of our nation cer-tainly deserve,” said Heath. “Ican only speak for myself andfor the wounded warriors thatI have spoken with in varioussupport groups, but I believethis program has given me asecond chance and opportunityto continue supporting the mil-itary on the frontlines with theskills, experience and expertisethat the military providedme.”

NSWC Port Hueneme em-ploys more than 2,700 militaryand civilian personnel.

Carrier Airborne Command and Con-rol Squadron 116 (VAW-116), the Sun

ings, returned home last month after ahree-week Composite Training Unit Ex-rcise (COMPTUEX) off the coast of outhern California.

COMPTUEX is typically completed byach carrier strike group in the later stag-s of training prior to deployment. Thexercise trained Carrier Strike Group 9or a deployment later this year.

The exercise tested the ability of all thehips and the air wing that make up thetrike group to work as a single cohesiveombat unit, as well as the air wing’s pro-iciency in performing the various missionypes required for carrier-based opera-

tions.Onboard the Nimitz Class aircraft car-

rier, the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72),the Sun Kings performed carrierqualifica-tion flights on Sept. 19 prior to beginninga series of complicated tactical missionsets that would last for the following threeweeks.

The E-2C Hawkeye provides carrier-based airborne early warning and com-mand, control and coordination for thestrike group. The strike group depends onthe E-2C to provide a tactical surface andair picture and to maintain data link andcommunications connectivity between allassets. Specific training missions for theSun Kings during COMPTUEX includedcontrol of strike, air intercept and combatsearch and rescue missions.

The Sun Kings also played a major rolein the planning and execution of largescale air defense exercises, which includedall aircraft and ships in the strike group.

The robust flight schedule duringCOMPTUEX resulted in the Sun Kingsflying more than300 flight hours,demand-ing tremendous actions from VAW-116’s

maintenance department, pilots and navalflight officers to support the daily flightschedule.

COMPTUEX was the final phase of the rigorous training schedule that theSunKings have completed since returninghome from their lastdeployment in March.The training instilled the Sun Kings withconfidence in their ability to safely andeffectively execute any mission requiredof them in the future.

More than 1,000 studentsat E.O. GreenJunior High Schoolin Oxnard gota quickmusic lesson on Thursday, Oct. 20, whenthe Navy Band Southwest Brass Quintetstopped by for a performance.

In town for a change of command cer-emony at Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC), Port Hueneme, the band, home-ported in San Diego, visited E.O. Greento kick off the new partnership betweenthe school and the base, explained NBVCSchool Liaison Officer Monica James.

“This is one of the most rewarding

things we do,” Musician 2nd Class JosephMoore, the unit leader and a tromboneplayer in the quintet,said as he looked out

of a classroom and into the courtyardwhere the students were taking their seats.“They’ll be our future replacements.”

Musician 2nd Class Eddie Hernandez,who plays the French horn, enhanced thequintet’s performance by explaining thedifferences between musical styles, suchas jazz pieces and marches.

He also explained to students why amarch is so important to the military — itsets the tempo— andasked them to imag-ine themselves heading across a field,walking or running to the beat.

Financial analyst Dulce Valencia hasreceived the Navy’s top award for coordi-

ating the purchase card program at Na-al Base Ventura County (NBVC).

Valencia, who has been at the base forwo years and a civil servant for 20, said

it was an honor to be singled out for theward.

“But really,” she said, “I’m just doingy job.”Valencia received the 2011 Silver Award

for Department of Navy Purchase CardAgencyProgram Coordinator of the Year.She picked up the award in August whenshe attended a General Services Admin-istration conference in Las Vegas for the

eople who run the government’s travel,fleet and purchase card programs. About6,000 attended, 1,600 of them from theNavy.

“That was a lot of people!” she said.Valencia also oversees the base’s time-

keeping and payroll, travel card programand plant property administration.

Eighteen people at NBVC have purchasecards, and they spend about $200,000 a

month, most of it on office supplies, ser-vices, mission-support equipment,trainingand consumables.

At her previous position at Naval Fa-cilities in Hawaii, 200 cards were used topurchase $1.5 million in supplies and ser-vices each month.

“All I did there was purchase cards,” she

said. “Purchase cards there was a full-time job.”

Valencia said the most important partof her job is to make sure all cardholdersare in compliance with the ever-changingregulations.

“I try to help them understand all therules so no one is in violation,” she said.“No violations — not on my watch.”

Buying office supplies isn’t as easy asheading to the local office supply storeand whipping out the purchase card. Va-lencia laughs at the very idea.

“When you use government funds, youhave to followcertain steps,” she explained,pointing to a 3-inch binder dealing withacquisitions. “You can’t just go make abuy.”

Valencia drew up a flow chart of allthose steps — the standard operating pro-

cedure — that several of her counterpartsat other Navy installations now use.

“The regulations change all the time,”she said. “We must all be familiar with allthe regulations. We have to know them.People depend on us.”

Valencia figures shespends about a third

of her time on the purchase card program,dealing with monthly audits, making sureeverything is paid on time, answering ques-tions.

“There are constantly questions,” shesaid.

A native of the Philippines, Valenciastarted with the civil service in Japan,

working with Naval Air Pacific Repair(NAPRA) command’s travel program.After that, she went to NAVFAC Hawaii,where she spent 12 years with the purchasecard program and travel card program.

“The business there was very compli-cated,” she said. “I learned a lot about theprograms.”

An Oxnard resident, she lives with herhusband, Elias, who is retired from theNavy and now works with Naval FacilitiesExpeditionary Logistics Center. Theirtwochildren are grown, with their daughterserving as an Army captain in Coloradoand their son an Air Force firefighter inArizona.

Valencia says her job keeps her on hertoes.

“There’s constant training,” she said.“But it’s all in a day’s work.”

Residentsof Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty, Point Mugu, arereminded that this areais coyote country, and steps should betaken to minimize interaction with thesewild creatures.

Once restricted mostly to theopen prai-

ries of the central United States, coyoteshave adapted to virtually all habitats inNorth America. Hardly any animal inAmerica is more adaptable to changingconditions than the coyote.

One of the keys to the coyote’s successis its diet. Coyotesare discoveringthat theurban environment provides a variety of sources of food. Resourceful and adaptableas coyotesare, they will take advantage of this when they can.

Coyotes are opportunistic feeders that

eat a wide variety of plants and animals.They primarily subsist on small mammalssuch as rats, mice, squirrels, gophers andrabbits, but they can survive on almostanything, including garbage, insects,snakes, birds, fallen fruit and vegetables,bird seed and pet food.

With large erect ears, slendermuzzle andbushy tail, coyotes resemble a small colliedog. Most adults weigh between 15 and26 pounds on the average,with males being

larger. They often appearheavierthan theyactually are due to their thick doublecoat.

The voice of the coyote is quite distinc-tive and can carry over long distances,consisting of various howls, high-pitchedyaps and dog-like barks.

Coyotes are most active at night andduringthe early morning and late eveninghours. Most sightings of coyotes occurduring the hours close to sunrise and sun-set.

Although naturally curious, coyotes are

usually timid animals and normally runaway if challenged. Coyotes are a risk topeople once they become comfortablearound humans, usually as a result of in-tentionally or unintentionally feeding and/or indifference. When this occurs, coyoteslose their natural fear and learn to seepeople, their yards and their pets as food

sources and safe havens.You must discourage coyotes from feel-ing comfortable aroundyou and your fam-ily by eliminating coyote attractions fromyour yard and encouraging your neighborsto do the same.

Here are some steps you can take to re-duce the chance of human-coyote conflictsand maintain a successful coexistence:

• Do not feed coyotes, feral cats or oth-er wildlife.

• Eliminate sources of water, particu-

larly during dry times of the year.• Bird feeders should be positioned so

that coyotes can’t get the feed.• Do not discard edible garbage where

coyotes can get to it. If possible, do notput trash cans out the night before sched-uled pick-up. Putting trash out in themorning will give coyotesless time to scav-enge. Secure garbage containers with tight-fitting lids and try to eliminate garbageodors.

• Feed pets indoors whenever possible.• Keep small pets indoors or under su-pervision, especially at nighttime. Do notallow pets to run free at any time.

• If you start seeing coyotes around yourhome or property, chase them away byshouting, making loud noises or throwingrocks.

Despite potential conflicts, people livepeacefully with coyotes nearby, often un-aware of their presence.

ane at 989-3808.

s . c o mOver two nights 2 000 people brave Haunted Swamp





w w w . T

h e L i g h t h o u s e N e w s


Nearly 2,000 people attended this year’stwo-night Haunted Swamp at Naval BaseVentura County (NBVC), Port Huen-eme.

Aquatics Manager Gerry Legaspipraised the five commands that created

the different scenes — from a glow roomto a human slaughterhouse to a hauntedcampsite.

“Everybody brought something to thetable,” he said. “It was definitely fun tosee all the commands come through onthis project.”

A total of 794 people attended the Fri-day, Oct. 28, event, which was only forpeople with base access. A total of 1,024attended the second night, which was opento the public.

This year’s Haunted Swamp includedthe traditional ride through the pool thatwas made possible by divers from Under-water Construction Team-2 (UCT-2).Every year, they pull inflatable boatsacross the water, lending credence to theswamp theme.

Several dozen volunteers staffed the

event each evening. The Friday night crewended up missing Game 7 of the WorldSeries, but some didn’t mind one bit.

“The World Series,” commented onevolunteer. “Is that baseball or soccer?”

The glow room created by Air Test and

Evaluation Squadron 30 (VX-30) was judged to be the best of the scenes, earn-ing the command go-ahead points for the2012 Battle of Commands, an annualcompetition made up of about a dozenevents ranging from a tug-of-war to asandcastle-building contest to a boat racein the Port Hueneme pool.

In addition to UCT-2 and VX-30, the

Naval Construction Training Center, Na-val Mobile Construction Battalion 3 andNaval Branch Health Clinic took part.

“We didn’t know it was going to be thisgood!”one mother exclaimed as she pulleda hesitant youngster out of the pitch-blackhaunted forest and on to the next scene.

The evenings were divided into two“tours” — a toned-down “Scaredy Cat”daylight tour for little ones and a scarierafter-dark tour for the older set.

“Awesome,” “great job” and “reallyscary” were some of the comments from

both adults and kids.

CodyBond, 11, came with his familytothe “Scaredy Cat”tour, convinced it wouldbe too tame.

Afterwards, as he headed to the haymaze and the carnival in the WarfieldGym, he claimed he hadn’t been scared atall.

“Ri-i-ight,” said his dad, ConstructionElectrician 1st Class Nathan Bond of theNaval Construction Training Center.

Was the boy scared?

“Oh yeah,” his dad said with a biggrin.

A Halloween costume contest thathad been a staple at the Naval BaseVentura County, Port Hueneme, Com-missary up until two years agoreturned

this year.All afternoon on Halloween, contes-

tants ranging from newborns to adultsvied for prizes and enjoyed a bouncehouse, beanbag toss and free hot dogs,popcorn and cotton candy.

The event was a joint venture withProcter & Gamble. The company’s rep-resentative, Terry Avalos, had organizedthe carnival and costume contest forsix years, then went on a two-year hia-tus. She’s back, and so is the event.

Estella Craven of the commissary’ssupport groupreported a steady streamof toddlers in the early afternoon andexpected older children after school letout.

A commissary treat


Edward Miller, 17 months old, wins firstplace in his age category at the PortHueneme Commissary costume contest.Edward is the son of Rachel and Lt. Cmdr.Edward Miller, the executive officer of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 40.


A pumpkin-carving contest designed toscare up some money for next year’s Sea-bee Ball drew 24 entrants on Halloween.

The 31st Seabee Readiness Group puton the contest in the cavernous SupplyBldg. 375 at Naval Base Ventura County,Port Hueneme. Ten awards were present-ed by the chief staff officer, Capt. BruceNevel — three for scariest, three for fun-niest, three for most original and one

overall.The top award ended up going to En-

gineering Aide Constructionman AudreyHurst, who had never carved a pumpkinbefore but who is an accomplished sculp-tor, working with clay and wood.

“I just used the same technique,” shesaid, explaining why her carving of ahouse on a hill had a three-dimensionaleffect.

The idea for the contest came fromChief Builder Hector Calderon.

“We had one two years ago when I wasin Afghanistan, and I won,” he said. “Icarved a skeleton face and got $75.”

He turned the idea into a fundraiser forthe Seabee Ball, charging entrants $10 fora pumpkin and a hot dog or hamburger

meal, $7 for a tri-tip sandwich with sodaand chips.So far, the 31st SRG has raised $3,500

for the Seabee Ball, which will be heldMarch 10 at the Ronald Reagan Presiden-tial Library in Simi Valley.

ACNAudrey Hurst’s house on a hill took firstplace overall. The Florida native said she’dnever carved a pumpkin before. However,she is an accomplished sculptor in clay andwood, and those techniques contributed tothe three-dimensional effect of her carving.

Employees with the Naval Surface War-fare Center, Port Hueneme Division(NSWC PHD), completed a six-day as-sessment of USS Gridley’s (DDG 101)combat, weapon and underway replenish-

mentsystems Oct. 3-7whiledocked atPortHueneme.During the assessment, command en-

gineers and technicians provided expertiseand services on several systems of the Ar-leigh-Burke class destroyer, including theMK 41 Vertical Launching System, AN/SPY-1 Phased Array Radar, MK 99 FireControl System, Aegis Integrated CombatSystem, Operational Readiness Test Sys-tem, Tomahawk Cruise Missile Guidanceand Launching Systems, MK 15 Phalanx

Close-In Weapons System, interior com-munication switchboards, Underway Re-plenishment Systems, as well as logisticsand technical documentation.

Fire Controlman Chief (SW) ParisHenry, officer-in-charge of NSWC PHD’sassessment, emphasized PHD’s main ob- jective during the ship’s stay.

“The primary goal for this particular

visit was to ensure success for the USSGridley’s upcoming Inspection and Surveycome March 2012,” he said.

Throughout the assessment, PHD en-gineers and technicians worked with theship’s crew to provide operations andmaintenance training on topics such asTomahawk Strike Network and Vertical

Launching System Deluge.In addition, Sailors and command per-

sonnel shared important technical, logis-tics and lessons-learned information,which is vital to the safety and effective-ness of the ship’s offensive and defensiveweapons. Services provided by NSWCPHD enabled the ship to proceed with

more effective pre-deployment workupsand ensured that systems were in a stateof operational readiness.

“Capt. DeBow and the entire PHDteam provided proactive, engaged techni-cal support and training for our juniorSailors and improved our combat readi-ness,” USS Gridley Cmdr. Benjamin All-britton, said, referring to NSWC PHD’scommanding officer, Capt. William De-Bow. “We look forward to continuing ourrelationship with our Aegis and deck in-

service engineers.”NSWC PHD has been offering port

visit assessments to the fleet since 1989.The command not only offers highlyskilled engineers and technicians, it alsooffers the only government-owned, deep-water harbor between San Diego andPuget Sound.

tax return preparer.Last year the volunteers at Naval BaseVentura County (NBVC) completed morethan 2,300 federal and state tax returns,yielding the military community over $2million in refunds.

In addition, VITA saved these people$268,000 in tax preparation fees.

The program is sponsored by the NavyLegal Service Office in Port Hueneme.

Two five-day training sessions will takeplace at the Naval Construction TrainingCenter Computer Lab, Bldg. 1417, NBVCPort Hueneme.

Federal training will run from 8:30 a.m.to4:30 p.m. Jan. 9 toJan. 13, and Californiatraining will be from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.Jan. 17 to Jan. 20.

First-time volunteers must attend bothtraining sessions in order to qualifyto serveas a VITA volunteer.

Aftertraining, volunteers can choose their

schedule for tax season. At a minimum,they will be asked to work two four-hourshifts per week from Jan. 21 to April 14 atthe Tax Center, Bldg. 1417, Port Huen-eme.

the Center for Seabees and FacilitiesEngineering, which oversees CECOS.

CECOS trains civil engineers how tobecome leaders in the military. The menand women who enter the school havecollege degrees, and some have prior

military experience. When they graduate,they have a rank of Navy warrant officer,ensign or higher, and they go on to theirassigned commands or to other branch-es of the military. Some return to CE-COS as instructors specializing in careerdevelopment, energy issues, environmen-tal issues or facilities management andacquisitions. Many continue through theranks, with a few becoming admirals.

“These young gentlemen — and nowwomen — do very well,” Hunt said. “All

of them want to be here.”That’s one big change from when Hunt

first started at CECOS in 1966. At thattime, the Vietnam War was raging, andyoung men — and only men — wouldspend eight weeks at the school and shipout.

“Get them in, get them out and getthem on their way,” she said. “That’s theway it was.”

Today’s classes are three months long,

and in all, Hunt has seen 251 classescome through CECOS.There are usually 30 students per class

— three or four of them women.“These students are very well-versed,”

she said. “A lot of them are married,some have children. They’re all set forwhatever’s ahead — well, not always warand things like that, but sometimes that’swhat happens.”

As the student services director, Huntmakes sure all the students’ records are

in order, that any transportation andlodging are arranged for them and theirdependents, that someone is always onhand to greet them on their first day,

and that they’re all set for their classes.Once they’re settled in, she takes on

the role of den mother, from trackingdown lost ID cards to lending an ear forsomeone who just wants to talk.

“They’re always nice, polite peoplewho come through here,” she said.

Hunt was born Aug. 24, 1924, in Ohio.Her brother was in the service, and shedecided to follow in his footsteps — eventhough he didn’t approve.

“He didn’t think girls should go intothe military,” she recalled. “But the restof my family was supportive.”

In 1944, she joined the WAVES — Women Accepted for Volunteer Emer-gency Service — at the age of 20, theminimum allowed. She went to bootcamp in Oklahoma, then was stationed

at Jacksonville, Fla.“I was a yeoman, and I did office

work,” she said. “I was hoping for some-thing different, but I was deemed fit to

be a yeoman.”After hours, she’d go dancing.“I wanted to dance a lot,” she recalls.

“If you didn’t like dancing, I didn’t havetime for you.”

It was on the dance floor that she metthe man she’d marry, and in 1946, after just two years as a WAVE, she became

pregnant and had to leave the Navy.“That’s the way it was back then,” shesaid.

Hunt had two daughters and a sonand remained a full-time homemakerand a mother until 1955.

“But by then, I really wanted a newcar,” she said.

And so she re-entered the workforce,working in the Yards and Docks SupplyOffice (YDSO) at Port Hueneme until1958, then moving to Hawaii, where she

worked until 1961.She came back to Port Hueneme, but

the YDSO was decommissioned in 1963.She opted to join the Construction Bat-talion Center Office of Personnel, whichwas renamed CECOS in 196 6, and she’sbeen there ever since.

CECOS moved to a new building in1990, and Hunt admits that while it’slarger, sleeker and more modern, the newbuilding doesn’t have the same feel as

the old one.“It seemed more like family there,” shesaid. “I guess I just don’t make changesvery easily. I get someplace, I like it, andI like to stay.”

Dec. 2 will be her last day at CECOS.So what happens Dec. 3?

“I guess I won’t be getting dressed,”she says, laughing.

Now divorced, with a daughter in Ox-nard, a daughter in Simi Valley and ason who lives with her in Oxnard, she’ll

be busy, especially when seven grand-children and seven great-grandchildrenare factored in.

CECOS will have to deal with some

changes as well.Chances are Hunt’s typewriter will go

away. Hunt never made the transition toa computer because she lost vision inher left eye in 1998 and preferred thetypewriter. It has come in handy formany a person who has had to fill outa form in hard copy or whip out an en-

velope.The office won’t have to field phonecalls every Aug. 24 when people fromall over the world, including admirals,call to wish Miss Eileen a happy birth-day.

Students will miss the answer, “Tiptop!” when they ask Hunt how her dayis, and they’ll miss the flower she alwayswears in her hair on Fridays.

“My daughter is a hairdresser and shedoes my hair on Saturdays,” she said.

“By the time Friday comes around, itneeds help.”

What will she miss the most?“The people,” she replied, not missing

a beat.Were there some for whom she made

a difference, perhaps a student who wasespecially lonely or uncertain about thefuture?

She pauses on that one.“I like to think so,” she said. “But I

don’t.”She should.Across from her desk is a plaque that

honors the person in each class deemedto have the valued traits most like Hunt’s:the most personable, the most helpful,the one who takes the best care of hisor her shipmates.

But the best proof that Hunt has madea difference in her 56-year career willcome at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14,when her retirement ceremony takes

place in the lobby of CECOS, Bldg.1444.

Dozens of people have said they’ll at-tend — including four admirals.

Naval Mobile Construction BattalionNMCB) 40 has finished its final home-ort Field Training Exercise (FTX or

FEX) in preparation for its last deploy-ent.Nearly 500Seabeesweregone from Na-

val Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme,or three weeks, leaving the comforts of ome with their packs loaded with field

and combatgear to perform the battalion’slast ever homeport field training evolu-tion.

“FEX,” as it is affectionately referredto by theSeabees, is a rigoroustesting and

evaluation of the battalion’s overall com-bat readiness. Tasks include movement

f troops and Civil Engineer Support

Equipment (CESE), camp defense, chem-ical biological and radiological drills, proj-ect construction, Convoy Security Elementmovements, and above all, safety. Each

company in the battalion has specific task-ing, and allmust work together to accom-plish the mission.

Grading and evaluating the battalion isthe responsibility of the 31stSeabee Read-iness Group (31st SRG), which createsrealistic mission scenarios as well as play-ing “aggressors” to evaluate the battalionon implementing rules of engagement,escalation of force and many other evolu-tions. Once the battalion has passed thegraded exercises, they receive certification

for deployment.The battalion faced many challenges,

both mental and logistical. Multiple smalldetails were sent out to construct projectssimultaneously, and the effects were feltacross the battalion, said Senior Chief

Utilitiesman Fred Martinez, NMCB 40’soperations chief.“We are spread thin, but we are accom-

plishing the mission,” Martinez said to-ward the end of the exercise. “Everyonehas a lot of pride in 40, and I think that’swhat’s driving these Seabees to pushthrough.”

Seabees worked in full gear with a heatindex of more than 100 degrees and con-ducted chemical, biological and radio-logical drills in full chemical protective

suits and gas masks. Fall came in seem-ingly overnight, bringing chilling cold and

rain. Seabees stood watch through thenight, hunkered down in their muddy dug-out fighting positions, keeping a watchfullookout for the camp and fending off the

nightly enemy attacks.For many Seabees, this was their veryfirst “FEX” and for others, it will be theirlast, as the battalion is being decommis-sioned upon its return from its upcomingdeployment.

As NMCB 40 continues to write thefinal pagesof herhistory in theupcomingPacific Command deployment, the atti-tude remains positive amongst the bat-talion as they stay focused on the missionand task at hand.

“We will finish strong and go out withour heads held high,” Martinez said.

KONTALI, Djibouti — As the four-wheel drive vehicles shuddered and lurched

over the rocky dirt road, Seabees fromNaval Mobile Construction Battalion 5caught a glimpse of the Kontali village asit appeared on the horizon, nearly hiddenby the Oct. 1 midday sun.

The small village, which sits atop a hilloverlooking a vast expanse of dry land,was bustling with activity as villagers hur-ried to make the final preparations for afútbol game and cultural festival held forthe Seabees.

“They have helped us so much,” IbrahimIdriss Mohamed, a Kontali elder and vil-lage council member, said of the Seabees.“We wanted to invite them to experienceand enjoy our traditions. We want to showthem who we are and where we comefrom.”

For nearly a year, Seabees attached toCombined Joint Task Force-Horn of Af-rica have been working with village eldersto coordinate construction efforts andplan renovations to modernize their local

schoolhouse. When completed, the projectwill provide solar power and much-need-ed renovations to the school.

According to U.S. Navy Chief Petty Of-ficer Keith Genereux, NMCB 5’s Kon-tali project senior enlisted leader, the re-lationship the Seabees have built with thepeople of Kontali has been one of thestrongest he has ever experienced.

“The village welcomed us with openarms,” said Genereux. “This has been oneof the best symbioticexperiences I’ve hadthroughout my 21 years in the Navy.”

The bond extends beyond the school-house project and was further cementedwhen the Kontali people invited the Sea-bees to a fútbol match with students from

the school, Genereux said. The Seabeesprovided jerseys for the students to wearduring the game as a way of thanking thepeople of Kontali for the invitation.

“We have really integrated with thewhole community,” Genereux said. “It’sgreat to be part of such a close team.”

Although the Seabees won, 1-0, bothsides claimed a victory in forming friend-ships on the field.

“I think had the kids played the entiregame they would have beaten us,” Gener-eux said. “But, luckily, the village adultstookpity on usand played for a few min-utes.”

Following the game, the Seabees wit-nessed and participated in a cultural fes-tival that included traditional Africandances and a display of handmade itemsfrom the village.

“We are a proud people with a proudculture and heritage,” said Houmed Has-san, a Kontali elder and village councilmember. “Everything has a history. Ev-erything has a story.”

The Kontali people shared stories fromtheir oral history in the form of three tra-ditional dances. The first dance illustrateda young Kontaliman proposing marriageto the woman he loved. Next, male per-formers gathered to demonstrate a battlebetween the young man who proposedmarriage and another man who was inlove with the same woman. Finally, theyoung man, after defeating his challenger,married his bride in a ceremony attendedby his friends and family.

After the dances, the Seabees viewed

handmade crafts made by some of the vil-lagers and learned about the history be-hind each item. Village council membersexplained that the dances and the craftswere an important part of the Kontaliheritage because they represented the his-tory of the people and how they tied intothe story of Africa.

Throughout the festival, they thankedthe service members for everything theyhad done to promote regional stabilitybyworking with thepeople to revitalize theirschoolhouse.

“We wanted to thank them, but weweren’t sure how,”said Mohamed. “Thereare no words to express our gratitude. Noone has ever done this before.”

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-tion Battalion (NMCB) 3 are building atraining complex that will enable Seabeebattalions to conduct training specific totheir deployment missions.

This training facility, called a Seabee

Technical Trainer, will provide a place forSeabees to train and develop technicalconstruction skills such as concrete form-work, concrete finishing, masonry, subter-ranean utilities, carpentry, pre-engineeredbuilding fabrication, overhead power lines,interior finishing and steel fabrication.

“We will be building the administrativebuilding, Module 3, and Module 4 of theproject,” said Builder 2nd Class (SCW)Bo Watkins, a member of NMCB 3’sCharlie Company and the crew leader of

the project. “The administrative buildingwill consist of one office and three bath-rooms. Module3 will be used for overheadconcrete pour training and dry materialstorage. Module 4 willbe constructed withconcrete walls and columns and will beused for stair construction training.”

Companyleadershipis excited about thetechnical trainer.

“The Seabee Technical Trainer will begreat for the battalion,” saidBuilder Chief

(SCW) Jesse Garcia-Montes of NMCB3’s Charlie Company. “It will allow us toschedule our training better and workwith our own troops on different con-struction applications. We will be able tobetter determine the skills our troopsneed and give them the appropriate train-ing.”

Currently, Seabees must be sent to for-mal training sessions offered by the Na-val Construction Training Center forspecific construction skills. With theTechnical Trainer complex, NMCB com-mands at Naval Base Ventura County,Port Hueneme, will be able to train theirSeabees more efficiently and with great-er flexibility, saving time and money.

Chief Steelworker (SCW) Mike Boniferof the 30th Naval Construction Regimentestimates the project will cost $580,000

and be completed in August 2012. Con-struction began Sept. 27.

A Seabee Technical Trainer is also be-ing constructed at the Naval Construc-tion Battalion Center in Gulfport, Miss.,and is expected to be complete in summer2012.

NMCB 3 is currently conducting home-port operations in Port Hueneme and ispreparing for a spring deployment toEurope and Africa.

MUSAQALE’H, Afghanistan— Traversing a wadi amid theswirling chaos of a Monday ba-

aar, the Seabees of Naval Mo-ile Construction Battalion

NMCB) 4 continue the con-truction of a low water crossinghat will keep the Musa Qal’ehegion connectedthroughout theear.“The local people have seenhat’s being done, they are an-

icipating seeing how it’s goingo work,” said Lt. (j.g.) Jim Cor-ett, officer in charge of theroject. “We have been told by

he Civil Affairs Group here thatthe wadi crossing is more impor-tant to the [residents] than elec-tricity. They’re anxious and wantto see it get built!”

The construction site draws alarge crowd, sharing the wadi

with the Monday morning mar-ket and displacing the familiartraffic flow as the project growsacross the riverbed. The Afghansare obviously impressed by theroaring construction equipment,coordination of the construction

crew and immensity of the struc-ture that will soon be theirs touse.

“This is the largest amount of welding and steelwork that Ihave been a part of in over 16years in the Seabees,” said Chief Steelworker Jonathan Swagerty.“It’s gratifying both for me andthe troops to knowthatthis proj-ect is for the good of people inthe region.”

Steelworker ConstructionmanBrittany Desroches called theproject exciting.

“It’s my first outside the wire,the first with welding and it’scool to be part of such a large

project!” she said.Joining the Seabees for this

project are Marine Corps weld-

ers from Combat Logistics Bat-talion 6 (CLB 6) and the 7thEngineer Support Battalion. The

Marines work and live with theNavy Seabees and have becomea seamless p art o f o pera-tions.

“Our Marines have blendedin well with our team,” saidSenior Chief Steelworker Ed-

gar Walker.Lance Cpl. Rosa Pineiro of

CLB 6 said it’s a different ex-perience working with the Sea-bees.

“We don’t often see seniorpeople work side-by-side with junior troops,” she said. “I likeseeing it. It helps me stay mo-tivated!”

With the rapt attention of Afghans from around the area,the Seabees and Marines worktirelessly to fulfill the hopethey see in the watchful andcurious eyes of the populaceas the crossing is rapidly builtacross the river bottom.

Well, here we are. It is November al-

ready, and the weather is starting to turncolder — well, at least relatively colderhere in California — and thoughts areturning to preparing for the holidays.

November is also Exceptional FamilyMonth at the Fleet and Family SupportCenter, and while all military families areexceptional in their own right, Novemberis a time to recognize families that are inthe Navy’s Exceptional Family MemberProgram, also known as the EFM Pro-gram.

This is also a good time to bring moreawareness to what the Exceptional Fam-ily Member Program is and who quali-fies.

The EFM Program is a quality-of-lifeand detailing tool that is used by the mil-itary to help ensure that service membersand their families are assigned to locationsthat can meet the needs of the exception-al family member.

So who exactly qualifies as an excep-tional family member? The answer is

fairly simple: Family members with ongo-ing medical, dental, mental or education-al special needs that require ongoing treat-ment for 12 months or longer usuallyqualify for the EFM program.

Signing up is now easier with the intro-duction of the EFMP enrollment requestin the Navy Family Accountability andAssessment System, or NFAAS. By click-ing on the enrollment request button un-der a family member’s name, a request will

be sent out to the local Exceptional Fam-

ily Member Program liaison at the localFFSC, who will then contact the servicemember in order to help facilitate the en-rollment process. Servicemembersare alsomore than welcome to come into thelocalFFSC and speak with the EFMP liaisondirectly.

But the big question is: What can theExceptional Family Member Program dofor service members and their families, andwhy should they enroll?

Enrolling in the EFMP program enables

the Navy to take the special needs of aservice member’s family into considerationwhen assigning duty stations. The EFMPalso allows for family members in certaincategories to remain in the same geograph-ical area (homesteading) so that there isa continuity of care for the familymemberwhile the service member is still able tomeet theirsea/shore rotation requirements.Service members who have family mem-bers in the EFM program also have ad-ditional resources available to them, such

as theEFM liaisons, who havea list of local

communityresources forthose withspecialneeds.Those enrolled in EFMP may also qual-

ify for TRICARE ‘s Extended HealthCareOption (ECHO), which is a cost-sharingprogram that helps pay for certain therapies,equipment and treatmentsthat are not gen-erally covered under TRICARE’s otherplans.

In addition to possibly qualifying forECHO, family members may also qualifyfor free respite care, sometimes up to 40

hours a month.These arejust some of the benefits of the

EFM Program.The EFMP liaison atFFSCnot only provides resourcesfor familymem-bers but also education and training aboutthe program for commands, service mem-bers and families.

If you think you have a family memberwho may qualify for EFMP, or if you havequestions about the program, contact thelocal EFMP liaison, Corey Kendrick, at982-3159 or [email protected].
