Why was my friend denied base access?Question: I recently tried to bring a friend onto the base

so we could play golf. My friend is a citizen of Mexico, andhe was denied entry to the base. Needless to say, this wasembarrassing to all of us. What can be done to make surethis doesn’t happen again?

Answer: This situation occurs several times a week atNaval Base Ventura County (NBVC). Foreign Nationals(FN) are not allowed on base without prior approval, andit doesn’t matter if they’re visiting relatives of active-dutyservice members or friends just trying to play a round ofgolf. Only active duty service members who are attachedto a local command and live in base housing can sponsora FN visitor onboard NBVC. Active duty service memberswho are attached to a local command but live in off-basehousing may sponsor only an immediate family memberwho is an FN but in a limited capacity.Foreign Nationals trying to enter NBVC must fill out a

Foreign National Badge Request Form and fax or e-mailit to the Security Management Office at least 48 workinghours before they want to come on base. If they want tovisit anyone in Lincoln Military Housing, they must alsoobtain a Lincoln Military Housing Guest Request Formand have it signed by the housing director.

After approval, they will receive an orange FN badgethat must be worn at all times while on base. Visits arelimited to the housing area where the sponsor lives andcommon areas such as Morale, Welfare and Recreationfacilities – including the golf course – the Navy Exchange,the commissary and parks. The visitor must be with thesponsor at all times; the visitor is not allowed to wander.Please note that legal permanent residents with a law-

ful permanent resident card are not considered FNs.The FN Badge Request Form can be found at the

NBVC web site: https://www.cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm. It is under the Visitors and Base Access Informationtab, Foreign National Visitors, found on the left side of thepage. Follow the directions to fill out the form. Both thatform and the Lincoln Military Housing form must be faxedto NBVC SMO at 989-8878 or e-mailed to [email protected] NBVC SMO will notify the sponsor once the re-

quest is approved. The badge can be picked up at the Pass& ID Office at the Sunkist Gate at Port Hueneme or at thenewly opened office at the main gate, Point Mugu.Anyone with questions is asked to call the SMO at 989-

8876 or 989-0349 or e-mail NBVC_Security [email protected]

Children were excited and parents were relieved on Saturday,July 30, as Operation Homefront Southern California gave out312 backpacks full of school supplies to enlisted families atNaval Base Ventura County.Each backpack had a retail value of $35 — and one family

had six children.Even with just twins, Janell Selvera was one thankful mom.“I’m so glad they have this,” she said. “Especially with twins,

we need two of everything all at the same time. This is veryhelpful for us.”Kyle and Kalie, 5, will be going into kindergarten at Marina

West Elementary School in Oxnard. Their dad is Utilitiesman2ndClass Juan Selvera of NavalMobile Construction Battalion4.Tricia De La Paz, director of operations for OperationHome-

front SouthernCalifornia, said the group gave out 300 backpackslast year and brought 350 to the base this year, seeing that morewere needed. Families needed to pre-register to receive the back-packs; some forgot to pick them up. Those who registered afterthe 350 were already committed were able to receive schoolsupplies.“We’re excited to be here again,” De La Paz said.School supplies, she explained are a way to say thank you to

military children and a way to offset tight budgets.“Children sacrifice because of deployments and having to

move to different schools,” she said. “And especially for familieswith multiple kids, it’s costly going back to school.”Students at the Naval Construction Training Center— some

of them not long out of school themselves — watched as theyoungsters made their selections, then helped them stuff theirbrand-new backpacks with paper, crayons, chalk, erasers andother school supplies.“I’ve never done this before, but I’ve got a couple of young-

er brothers and sisters, so I think I can figure it out,” said Con-

struction Mechanic Recruit Ian Kalinoski, 21.New this year were pencil sharpeners and something that

thrilled 8-year-old Ryan Hicks: “I got a binder!” he told hismom, proudly opening the backpack so she could see.Ryan will be in third grade at Saticoy School in Ventura. He’s

the son of Sabrina and ConstructionMechanic 3rd Class JasonHicks of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3.De La Paz said NBVC was the fourth stop “on a 10-stop

tour.”Next up on the list of installations: Naval Weapons Sta-tion Seal Beach.

Hello Mom,Thank you for welcoming me into your

family and your heart when I became yourdaughter-in-law. Someone once told me,“Amarriage always has ‘another woman’in it – a mother-in-law. Over time, wisewomen will learn to appreciate and valuethe role of each other in the life of theman they both love.” I hope we are on ourway to that place.Thank you for raising your son, my

husband. Thank you for the devotion,worry and commitment youmade to raisethis man, this love of my life.Without youhe would not be the man he is today.Thank you.Military life is both exciting and chal-

lenging. I am in awe of my husband, thathe has taken the road less traveled — theroad that requires sacrifice in order todefend our nation. Like you, I am soproud of him. Like you, I worry daily forhis safety, for his future, for our future.Like you, I look forward to his long-await-ed, much-anticipated homecoming.And that leads me to why I am writing

today. I know that you have shared in theworry for your son, your precious son. As

homecoming approaches, a dilemma canarise for all of us. I know you want to bethere at the homecoming celebration andto spend time with your son upon his re-turn. I know he wants to reconnect withhis entire family.While homecomings are really the most

joyous day of a military family, it can alsobecome a source of conflict as well. Whodoes he greet first, his wife or his mother?How much time does he spend with hiswife and children versus time with his ex-tended family?Mom, he loves you deeply, and so do I.

He will always be your son. Nothing canchange that or your role in his life.I am his wife, the one he has chosen to

bring into your family, to spend the restof our lives together. It has been a privi-lege to take his last name, to stand at hisside to grow together.So as he returns I want you to know

that I support your need to connect withyour son. I want to make sure you havethose moments to do that.And I have a favor to ask, a gift request

if you will. I know you support our mar-riage, and for that I am grateful. Deploy-ment takes a toll on a family andmarriage— we are eager to reconnect as a couple.While you and the entire family want towarmly welcome him home, it is so im-portant for him to have time to rest, relaxand reconnect with us, his wife and chil-dren. Reconnecting as a family will makeall the sweeter our time with you and theextended family.Thank you in advance for giving us the

gift of time together.

It is almost time to return to school.Students are collecting their supplies intheir backpacks and are anxious to findout if their best friend will be in their classnext year.This is also a time for parents to be plan-

ning their return to school as well.Studies on parent involvement indicate

that the most accurate predictor of achild’s achievement in school is the extentto which the child’s family is able to:• Create an environment that encourages

learning.Regardless of the grade level ofa school-age student, homework can bean everyday expectation. If the teacherdid not assign homework or if the studentfinishes the homework quickly, parentsshould expect the student to have plentyof books on hand to practice reading.Parents should set aside a time and placeto ensure that homework is completedwithout distractions. The best way to de-termine an appropriate amount of time istomultiply their grade level by 10minutes:first grade equals 10 minutes and 12thgrade equals two hours. However, depend-ing on the student and teacher, the stan-dard for a time allotment can vary.

There is no doubt that students will be-gin using the Internet for school work,even at very young ages. It is importantfor parents to understand how they andtheir student can use it best. For this rea-son, here is an online resource: Parents’Guide to the Internet, www.ed.gov/pubs/parents/internet.The Parents’ Guide to the Internet is

intended to help parents — regardless oftheir level of technological know-how— effectively employ online resources intheir children’s education. The guide pro-vides parents with an introduction to the

Internet, instructions on how to navigateit, a glossary of common Internet termi-nology and suggestions on how parentscan allow their children to tap into thewonders of the Internet while safeguard-ing them from its potential hazards.• Communicate high, yet reasonable, ex-

pectations for their children’s achievementand future careers.Children will often ful-fill the expectation set for them. If a par-ent expects their student to get all B’s ona report card, what is the student’s motiva-tion to get all A’s? The goal was met at B’s.Until students reach about 11th grade, thelong-term reasons for doing well in schoolhave not sunk in. Therefore, their onlymotivation to achieve is the parental ex-pectation. However, it is important toknow your children and be fully aware oftheir skills and abilities. Parents’ expecta-tions should be reasonable.To assist parents with setting expecta-

tions for achievement, here is an onlineresource: The Legacy Project, www.leg-acyproject.org. As a big-picture educationproject for all ages, the Legacy Projecthelps students and parents put the piecesof that puzzle together.

The Legacy Project works with children,teens, adults and elders.• Become involved in their children’s

education at school and within the com-munity.When a student knows educationis important enough for mom or dad totake the time to visit the school to volun-teer, spend evenings attending schoolmeetings or make a phone call or send anemail to check on a student’s progress,education becomes a priority for the stu-dent as well.There are numerousways to be involved.

Start by asking your child’s teacher. How-ever, here is an online resource about somesuccessful parent involvement programs.The individual school profiles are inspir-ing: Family Involvement in Children’sEducation: Successful Local Approaches,www.ed.gov/pubs/FamInvolve.This site contains in-depth profiles of

10 parent involvement programs in thecountry, each selected to highlight differ-ing approaches to building successfulschool-family partnerships.— For any K-12 education related questions,please call the NBVC school liaison officer at989-5211 or email [email protected].

One of the great blessings in my life ismy dog, Petie. He is a 7-year-old brown-and-white Jack Russell terrier. His nameis inspired by another famous dog, al-though not a terrier, from the classic fam-ily television show called “Little Rascals.”This big and lovable dog on the TV showoften gets intomischief asmuch as anyonein the plot lines and can be seen as anall-around great protector and companionto the children in the show.Truly anyone who has ever loved a pet

— dog, cat, hamster, bird, fish or what-ever— in their family knows how impor-tant their pet is in their lives. More thanjust being a companion, having a pet inone’s life can be beneficial.It is well-documented that having a pet,

however big or small, can bring about atherapeutic effect on someone who is notfeeling well. There are organizations, forexample, that bring in animals to retire-ment homes. It is amazing to see how a

simple act of having a cat or dog on one’slap can change the mood and health of aperson.In addition, child development experts

have also cited the benefits of a childrengrowing up with some kind of a pet with-in their homes. One of the key valueschildren learn is how to be responsible by

taking care of their pets. For childrenand teenagers even, their learning to feedand walk their animals are great firststeps towards learning adult responsi-bilities.A very well-known Christian from his-

tory is a guy named Francis. He is knownas St. Francis to many in our world.Among themany healings and life-chang-ing encounters that were attributed tohim, he was also known as a person whohad a great love for all of God’s creatures.It was also recorded that people used tobring their animals (cows, pigs, sheep) tohim for prayers if they were sick or dying.Clearly the love and affections for one’sfurry friends is an ancient one.Whether you believe in these miracles

or not, I certainly believe that all pets— in whatever form they come in — aretruly a gift from God. Please love andtake care of them.God bless you!

For the love of Petie, take good care of your beloved pets

Two dozen volunteers fromNaval BaseVentura County (NBVC) spent a bigchunk of Friday, July 29, giving back toa program that helps military personnelwho come back from deployment withPost-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).The Equine Sanctuary in Ojai is the

home of Horse Soldiers, which founderAlexis Ells said is an equine-assisted ther-apy program designed to bring some nor-malcy back into the lives of those withPTSD.So once a year, the base sends a crew

out to help return the favor. This year, thevolunteers painted a barn and leveled outstalls.

“Their work is amazing,” said a thank-ful Ells.Helping on Friday was Air Traffic Con-

troller 1st Class Scott Phelan of NBVCPoint Mugu.“Giving back to the community— that’s

what it’s all about,” he said as he brushedred paint onto the barn.He said he admires Ells for the work she

does with fellow Sailors suffering fromPTSD.“She’s giving back to us,” he said. “All

those guys over there — they’re the onesdoing the tough work. So I have no prob-lem doing this, not at all.”Religious Ministries coordinated the

community relations project.

Nineteen youngsters – some as youngas 3 – ran the Heat of Summer 1K funrun on Aug. 4 at Naval Base VenturaCounty, Point Mugu.Nearly 40 adults ran in a 5K a fewmin-

utes later.The location of the lunchtime event was

changed to the Picnic Pavilion two daysbefore because of military exercises at thebeach.“I didn’t think the fog was going to clear

up in time,” said Amanda Haskell, whoorganized the Morale, Welfare and Rec-reation event. “I thought it would be the

‘Cold of Summer’ run.”But the weather turned out to be sunny

and quite warm — “borderline hot,”Haskell said.Emily and Lt. Chris Kingery of Car-

rier Airborne Command and ControlSquadron 117 (VAW-117) brought theirthree children to the run: Maren, 7; Ol-ivia, 5; and Jake, 3.“We just have fun running,” the father

said.

All three children finished the 1K, aboutsix-tenths of a mile.Crossing the finish line of the 5K first

was Information Systems Technician 3rdClass Joseph Nunez of the 31st SeabeeReadiness Group.“I’ve been running these lunchtime

races for about three years,”he said. “Thisis the first time I’ve come in first.”His time was 20 minutes, 2 seconds.

Seabees from Naval MobileConstruction Battalion(NMCB) 40 provided a volun-teer workforce to restore abaseball field at Casa Pacificaon Saturday, July 9, as part ofa community relations proj-ect.Casa Pacifica, a facility and

non-public school for neglectedand abused children up to theage of 18, provides a safe havenfor learning and youth activi-ties, said Casa Pacifica staffmember and recreation therapysupervisor, Ingrid Cleffi.“We have many softball ad-

vocates here, and we wanted togive them a proper field,” saidCleffi. “The Seabees told uswhat we needed to get as far asmaterials, and we were able toget most of it donated.”The Seabees then filled in the

holes, smoothed out the play-ing surface and rebuilt the

pitcher’s mound.“The troops were super-en-

ergetic,” saidNMCB40 projectleader, Chief Builder EricChamberlin. “We used nearlyseven cubic yards of fill mate-rial, rolling and compactingit.“Everyone was thrilled to be

there and was so happy tohelp,” he added. “I was superimpressed with everyone.”The relationship between

Casa Pacifica and NMCB 40Seabees has been going on fornearly three years, said Cleffi,and they have more small im-provement projects planned forthe future.“I chose the Seabees because

my son is a Seabee,” said Clef-fi. “They have had such a pos-itive impact here, and theirhard work goes a long way.This field will provide a placefor the children and families tocome together and have a greattime!”

In June, Carrier Airborne Commandand Control Squadron 116 (VAW-116)participated in Northern Edge 2011, ajoint training exercise in Alaska.Northern Edge brought together more

than 6,000 participants from all militaryservices. The exercise provided an oppor-tunity to practice techniques, operationsand procedures, as well as improve theinteroperability betweenmilitary services.The large-scale air warfare training involv-ing a vast array of tactical aircraft is un-paralleled when compared to typical train-ing exercises.The SunKings operated from Joint Base

Elmendorf Richardson (JBER), near An-chorage, home to the F-22 Raptor, C-17Globemaster, E-3 Sentry, and C-130 Her-cules. In addition to aircraft stationed atJBER, USAFF-15 Eagles and B-52 Stra-tofortresses from other installations par-ticipated in the exercise.FromCarrier AirWing 2, the SunKings

were joined by the “Kestrels” (VFA-137),flying the F/A-18E, and “the Bullets”(VFA-2), flying the F/A-18F. Training

events occurred within the Gulf of Alas-ka, as well as several overland MilitaryOperating Areas.The exercise was an opportunity for the

E-2C to provide command and control ina challenging joint environment.

One major goal of the exercise was toimprove the ability for different servicesto work together as one force by develop-ing best practices. This meant recognizingand resolving inefficiencies in tactical datalinks, communication nets and tactics. The

Sun Kings’ expertise in tactical data linksand communication systems proved to bepivotal in smoothing out many issues.The SunKings flew twoHawkeyes from

Point Mugu to JBER and flew two ex-tensive mission sorties a day during thetwo-week exercise. Mission sets for theSun Kings included air intercept control,airborne interdiction of maritime targetsand strike control.Throughout Northern Edge, VAW-116

had the opportunity to work side-by-sidewith the U.S. Air Force’s primary air-borne command and control platform,the E-3 Sentry. Though significantlylarger, the E-3, like the E-2C, is recogniz-able by its large radar atop the fuselage.Its mission capability is similar to theHawkeye, providing air intercept control,strike control, and airborne battlefieldcommand and control to strike and fight-er aircraft.In addition to mission planning and

execution with the E-3 squadron, the ex-ercise also afforded several Sun Kings theopportunity to fly on an E-3 during oneof the training missions, giving them afirst-hand look at Air Force operations.

Chief Builder Thomas Sanchez of Na-val Mobile Construction Battalion 5 wasawarded the Navy and Marine CorpsCommendation Medal on Aug. 2.Sanchez received the medal for his con-

duct on March 23, 2010, when he pro-vided first aid to Jordan Rapp, a triathletewho was bicycling on Lewis Road nearNaval Base Ventura County, PointMugu,when he was hit by a car and left fordead.Rapp’s injuries included two severed

jugular veins. Sanchez used gauze froma combat vest he had in his car to try tostop the bleeding. First responders saidSanchez’ efforts probably saved Rapp’slife.Sanchez left the next day for Afghani-

stan, and when he returned, he attendedthe Ironman Arizona, where Rapp, re-covered from his injuries, competed andtook fourth place in the 140.6-mile pro-fessional race.

Naval SurfaceWarfare Center (NSWC)Port Hueneme’s Tomahawk ConcurrentEngineering team received notificationon July 14 that they were the recipient ofthe Defense Department’s 2011 Dimin-ishingManufacturing Sources andMate-rial Shortages (DMSMS) TeamAchieve-ment Award in the category ofexceptional management of a defensesystem.“I’m very proud of this award and

happy with the opportunity it provides

the Tomahawk Weapon Control Systemto be recognized in the DMSMS com-munity for the proactive, efficient andeffective DMSMS process that we havebeen utilizing very successfully for thepast 13-plus years,” said David Holl,NSWC Port Hueneme Tomahawk Con-current Engineering Working Grouplead.This award recognizes the efforts of

teams and individuals who have demon-strated outstanding achievement in pro-viding warfighters with increased opera-tional readiness and capability throughthe proactive management of DMSMS.

“There has never been an instancewhere a Tomahawk component has beenunsupportable due to obsolescence,”stated Holl. “Our efforts have helped en-sure that operational availability of theTomahawk Weapon Control System re-mains high.”Tomahawk Concurrent Engineering

WorkingGroup processes, in concert withmultifunctional Tomahawk teams (Tom-ahawk Systems Engineering WorkingGroup and Hardware Working Group),have produced outstanding results in sus-taining combat system readiness andincorporate input from a variety of sourc-

es: vendors, the Navy Supply System,design agents, installation teams, fleetusers and NAVAIR. Members of theDMSMS group include logistics elementmanagers and technical specialists.“This award is in recognition of every-

one on the team and their contributionsto the success of our obsolescence man-agement process,” said Holl. “The group’soutstanding achievements and excellenthistory of mitigating obsolescence issuesis what makes this award possible.”Holl will accept the award on behalf

of NSWC Port Hueneme at an officialceremony on Aug. 30 in Florida.

Capt. Grayson Merrill, whose namegraces Building 3015, theMissile SystemsEvaluation Laboratory atNaval Base Ven-tura County, Point Mugu, died July 13 atthe age of 99 in Severna Park, Md.Merrill drafted the 1945 recommenda-

tion that Point Mugu be chosen fromamong the 26 sites being considered for asea test range — a recommendation ap-proved by President Harry Truman onMay 24, 1946. That earned Merrill thenickname “the Founding Father of PointMugu,” a title he was officially given in1996 at the 50th anniversary of PointMugu’s commissioning.Merrill was born Jan. 1, 1912, in Los

Angeles. According to his obituary pre-pared by Barranco& Sons Funeral Homeof Severna Park, he enlisted in the Navyin 1929 and attended the Naval Prepara-tory School in San Diego prior to beingappointed to the U.S. Naval Academy in1930. He graduated and was commis-sioned as an ensign in 1934, then startedflight training.In 1941Cmdr.Delmar S. Fahrney, direc-

tor of pilotless aircraft in the Bureau ofAeronautics, selected Merrill to be hisdeputy in the Special Design Branch ofthe Bureau of Aeronautics, where theNavy’s first guided missiles were beingdeveloped.As a team, the two officers thenformulated and directed much of theNavy’s World War II early postwar guid-ed missile efforts.In 1943 Merrill succeeded Fahrney as

head of the Special Design Branch. Mer-

rill initiated and directed the developmentof the Lark surface-to-air missile, theGar-goyle air-to-surface missile and the LittleJoe ship-to-airmissile, a quick-fix responseto the devastating attacks then beingmadeby the Japanese kamikaze suicide bomb-ers.According to a plaque under Merrill’s

photo in the Naval Air Warfare CenterWeapons Division’s Command HistoricStorage Facility in Building 116 just out-side the gates of NBVCPointMugu,Mer-rill soon became convinced that the Navyneeded a missile sea test range.“While someminimum-range tests could

never be made over land, the Navy alsohad to fire its longer-range missiles fromvarious East Coast naval air stations overheavily used shipping lanes,” the plaquereads. “It was against this background in1944 that Merrill drafted a letter of re-quirements and recommendations, whichthe Chief of the Bureau of Aeronauticssigned out to the Chief of Naval Opera-tions.“In his letter, Merrill presented a case

of urgent need for an over-water range asvital to the development of the growingfield of naval missile weaponry. He alsoasked that a board of officials be estab-lished to survey and evaluate possible sitesfor such a range and to recommend theonemost suitable considering all pertinenttechnical, military and economic as-pects.“That board’s first recommendation to

CNO drafted by Merrill in March 1945was that Point Mugu was by far the mostsuitable of all sites investigated and thatthe test center should be located there.“The CNO and the Secretary of the

Navy approved the proposal and sent itforward to the Joint Chiefs of Staff fortheir consideration. Following their en-dorsement, it was sent directly to PresidentTruman, where it was summarily approvedon May 24, 1946.“In late 1945, Merrill was assigned as

technical director (later changed to direc-tor of tests) of the Naval Air Missile TestCenter, then being staged at the MojaveNaval Air Station, located in Mojave. Aswork moved to Point Mugu, Merrill wasresponsible for all facets of the developing

center except those of the Naval Air Sta-tion.”In addition to the 50th PointMugu an-

niversary in 1996, Merrill also attendedthe 60th anniversary ceremony in 2006.He wore the same uniform he wore on his1957 retirement as technical director ofthe Special Projects Office, which devel-oped the Polaris nuclear ballistic missile,earning Merrill a Legion of MeritAward.“It still fits,” he told the crowd, “but I

must ask your patience as I read this brieftalk. I am legally blind and hard of hear-ing as I approach my 95th birthday nextNew Year’s Day.”At that event, Merrill reflected on the

establishment of the sea test range at PointMugu.“I never dreamed the impact this would

have on many people, Ventura County’seconomy and, most of all, the Navy’s rolein our World War II victory,” he said.Merrill recalled the Loonmissiles being

fired off submarines and rockets from thebeach and temporary buildings becomingheadquarters during the early years.“A pioneering spirit smoothed out the

difficulties we faced and made a team ofus,” he said. “It was time to celebrate abirth after a hard labor.”The Naval Air Missile Test Center was

officially commissioned on Oct. 6, 1946.After his retirement in 1957, Merrill

became the generalmanager of the Fairch-ild Aviation’s GuidedMissile Division andthen president of PRD Electronics, a de-fense industry company.A funeral service was held July 19 at the

chapel on the grounds of the U.S. NavalAcademy.

ocean engineering from the U.S. Naval

Academy and a master’s in civil engineer-ing (ocean emphasis) from the Universityof California, Berkeley. He is a SeabeeCombatWarfare Officer, SurfaceWarfareOfficer, and certifiedNavalDivingOfficer;a registered Professional Engineer in thestate of California; and a member of theAcquisition Professional Community.Gomez’s long record has included as-

signments as chief of staff, Navy Region

Gulf Coast, and executive officer of theNavy Public Works Center, Pensacola,Fla.; executive assistant for Senior CivilianStaff at the Pentagon and head of MilitaryConstruction, Naval Reserve Branch,Washington, D.C.; deputy director, Facil-ity Investment and Management for theDeputy Under Secretary of Defense (In-stallations and Environment) inWashing-ton, D.C.; and facilities management of-

ficer under the Commander, TrainingCommand, U.S. Pacific Fleet, San Di-ego.She has also served in billets at overseas

locations, including ROICC of the FarEast Contracts Office, Okinawa, Japan.Gomez previously served as NAVFAC

ESC’s executive officer from 2004 through2006 and has been commanding officersince July, 2009.


The developers told Capt. Paz Gomezand her family that they could move intotheir new Carlsbad home on Aug. 22.Now, they said, there appeared to be a

problem and the date would need to bepushed back.If they didn’t realize it when the con-

versation began, they would soon learnthat meeting or beating constructiondeadlines, squeezing timelines and gettingthe job done right the first time is whyGomez is one of only five women withthe rank of captain currently in the Civ-il Engineer Corps and was the fifth everto attain the rank. If she can meet thosegoals with multimillion-dollar, state-of-the-art Navy buildings, why couldn’t theydo it with one house?Gomez, the commanding officer of the

Naval Facilities Engineering Service Cen-ter (NAVFAC ESC) at Naval Base Ven-tura County, Port Hueneme, who retiredfrom a 29-year Navy career on Friday,July 29, is bringing her exactitude to theprivate sector in more ways than one.In September, she starts work as the

engineering services manager for URSCorp., which provides engineering andconstruction services to both the privateand public sector worldwide. The com-pany’s projects involve schools, waterdistricts, utility companies, roads, pipe-lines and — always — energy efficiency.About 70 people will report directly to

her.“Designing, building, constructing,

renovating — all that is similar to whatNAVFAC does,” she said.And just as she was accountable to her

superior officers and ultimately taxpayersfor cost efficiency and timeliness, she’llbe accountable to shareholders — but ina more competitive environment.“NAVFAC takes great pride in taking

care of taxpayers’ dollars,” she said in aninterview a few days before her retirementceremony. “We make sure of what we’redoing, that we’re doing it the right way.We’re always looking to be more efficient,and in private industry, that will translateinto getting more profit and gaining thatcompetitive edge that will ensure our vi-ability.”She’ll walk into her office on that first

daywith the samemindset that she broughtto the Navy, but there will be one majordifference that she hasn’t experienced sinceshe worked at a Jack-in-the Box in highschool:“I won’t bewearing a uniform!”she said,

laughing. “That’s going to be a huge dif-ference! I have a couple of suits, but I haveno wardrobe. I’ll be shopping for the nextfive weeks.”Gomez entered the Navy’s Civil Engi-

neer Corps at a time when there were fewother women around. A strong studentwho liked and excelled in math and sci-

ence, she had graduated from high schoolat 16— too young to attend the U.S. Na-val Academy, which had been her dream.Instead, she studied civil engineering atSan Diego State University and figuredout another way to enter the Navy: Shewould enlist after her junior year in col-lege, finish her degree and become a com-missioned officer. Every two weeks, shereceived an E-3’s pay.While in college, she toured and interned

at different naval facilities and met withofficers and engineers to discuss careers.Designing schematics, no. But publicworks? That looked interesting.Her field chosen, Gomez was commis-

sioned in 1983 and entered basic trainingat the Civil Engineer Corps OfficersSchool, where she was one of three wom-en in a class of 35. She was the only wom-an to make the rank of captain, and an-other woman made the rank ofcommander.Through the years, she found her men-

tors in the Navy, some of whom arenow admirals. So even though the per-centage of women entering the CivilEngineer Corps has remained aboutthe same, more women are staying inand achieving higher ranks. As Gomezwas retiring on July 29, another wom-an was preparing to be promoted tocaptain.“We’ve come a long way in the last

28 years,” she said.Would she recommend a Navy career

to her daughter?“Of course!” she said. “I’d be very

excited if she went into the Navy!”Gomez’ spouse, retired Marine Lt.

Col. John Gaillard, has been what Go-mez calls “Mr. Mom” to their 10-year-old twins for the last two years, andhe plans to continue that role in Carls-bad. Before that, the two juggled par-enting responsibilities, a situation sheadmitted was a real challenge.“Someone gets sick. Who’s staying

home?” she remembers, and she’s notsmiling at the memory.Gaillard and the twins were three of

nearly two dozen family members whoattended the retirement ceremony. Go-mez has seven brothers and sisters,nearly all of whom live in the San Di-ego area, as do her parents.“As much as I’m going to miss this

command and Ventura County, I’mlooking forward to going home to SanDiego,” Gomez said. “I have mixedfeelings — I love this place — but I’mlooking forward to a new adventure inthe private industry.”But before she starts work, she has

to move into her new home. And afterlong talks with the developer abouttimelines and construction schedules,the date was agreed upon.The Gomez family will move in on

Aug. 22.

Hope floats.Cardboard wrapped in cellophane, not

so much.Cardboard wrapped in cellophane, then

shrink-wrapped in the sun, then stackedtogether and bound tightly with duct tapeso that it looks like a shiny surfboard?That floats.Fifty teen-agers— one from South Ko-

rea, one fromGermany and the rest from48 states — learned that lesson and a lotmore when they attended the Society ofAmerican Military Engineers (SAME)Seabee Engineering and ConstructionCamp atNaval Base VenturaCounty, PortHueneme, from July 31 through Aug. 6.While there was some time for barbe-

cues, a trip to In-n-Out and tours of basefacilities, most of the week was spent onthree competitions:• Ten teams each poured a concrete

beam with a 24-square-inch cross sectionand inserted rebar in a spot they hopedwouldmake the beamwithstand the heavi-est load.• Ten teams each built a bridge out of

popsicle sticks, designing it with the hopeit would withstand the most weight.• Five teams each built a boat out of

cardboard, cellophane wrap and duct tapeand propelled it in several races across theHueneme pool, hoping it would stay afloatthe longest.“This is a pretty sharp group,” said

Cody Reese of the Naval Facilities Engi-neering Service Center. He has helped planand organize the camp for six of the nineyears it has been held at NBVC Port Hue-neme. “It’s become much more competi-tive through the years.”This camp had 76 applicants for 50 slots.

In some of the early years, there weren’tenough applicants for the slots available.This year’s campers ranged in age from

14 to 17, and each was entering theirsophomore, junior or senior year of highschool. They were chosen by their localSAME chapters based on their engineer-

ing, science and math skills.The week began with a welcome speech

from Rear Adm. Christopher Mossey,commander, Naval Facilities EngineeringCommand, and Chief of Civil Engineersand president of SAME.OnMonday, the group broke into teams

— or squads— and designed and pouredtheir concrete beams. Tuesday, they builttheir popsicle bridges. Wednesday, they

built and raced their boats. Thursday wasa beach day – and two boats were still ingood enough shape to take on the waves.Friday, the beams and bridges were testedby NAVFAC technicians, who explainedto the young engineers why certain designsworked and others didn’t.“The boat challenge is the highlight of

the SAME camp year after year,” said Lt.James McKelvie, training director of theNaval Construction Training Center,which had several staff members volun-teering at the camp. “From the concep-tual design to actual construction to rac-ing to demolition — they see the entireprocess.”URSCorp. has sponsored the boat race

for the last eight years.“It’s great to see all these young students

come out and tackle these engineeringproblems,” said URS representative Bill

PHOTO BY ANDREA HOWRY / LIGHTHOUSEEven changing the rules to require that all boatsbe powered with a paddle didn’t affect Squad 1.Here, Nina Lopez, 17, of Oklahoma glides throughthe pool.

Beulow, who was visiting his first camp.“I like their innovative ideas.”Each of the five teams took a different

approach to their boat. One was a surf-board, one had a v-shaped bottom, onehad crossbars, one even had a cannon.“The boat races were awesome,” said

Josie Butler, 17, of Washington,D.C., whosaid she’d been to a Bible camp before,but nothing like this. “I’ve been takingengineering classes for six years, so this isgreat.”Josie, who’s going into her senior year,

hopes to study civil engineering and ar-chitecture at Purdue University.Among the spectators at the boat race

was Bob Wolff, executive director ofSAME, which sponsors not only this Sea-bee camp, but also an Air Force camp for72 teen-agers, now in its 12th year, and anArmy camp for 40, now in its ninth year.Only the Seabee camp has the boats.This was his first time watching the

event, and he was enjoying the kids’ reac-tions as they eased their boats into thepool.“It floats! Yes!” one yelled.

Wolff ’s hunch was that the surfboardwould win.“It has the potential to go fast,”he said,

and he was right. It swept the first tworaces, and even after the organizers triedto level the playing field by requiring thatpaddles be used to propel all boats, surf-ers just balanced on their knees and pro-ceeded across the pool.The boats created by Squads 3 and 5

were wrapped in cellophane, not ducttape, and the teen-agers learned quicklythey’d misjudged cellophane’s qualities.“Once it leaned to one side and got

water in it, we were done,” said one stu-dent on Squad 5, whose boat lasted lon-ger than Squad 3’s, but still did not makeit through the day.Squad 3’s boat tipped the moment its

skipper boarded and soon turned intomush. After the first race, the squad triedto reshape it into a surfboard, but afterthe blob was towed in by a swimmer’sfeet, it was disqualified. The squad con-tinued with the races, using another boatthe staff had made as a backup.“Next time,” one student muttered,

“we’ll make a surfboard.”SEE SAME, PAGE 21

SAME camp tests engineers-to-be

PHOTO BY CODY REESE / NAVFAC ESCA bridge is tested on one of the last days of camp. Students usedpopsicle sticks to build a bridge, hoping the design they createdwould be the strongest of any of the 10 at camp.

PHOTO BY CODY REESE / NAVFAC ESCA concrete beam made on Monday breaks under pressure on Friday. Students learned that it takes28 days for concrete to fully harden; their beams would have been stronger had the camp beenlonger. During the SAME camp, students had to build a bridge, a beam and a boat.

From the conceptualdesign to actualconstruction to racingto demolition — theysee the entire process.

Help when you need it.The Fleet & FamilySupport Center

There is no denying it, we live in a worlddriven by technology. Email has replacedtraditional mail. Kindles andNooks havereplaced paperback books. Online bill payhas replaced the need to carry a check-book. Cyber shopping has replaced theneed to go to the store. Almost 80 percentof the world’s population owns a mobilephone, and over 90 percent of Americanssay they use a computer at home orwork.Undoubtedly one of themost beneficial

aspects of technology is that it providesvirtually everyone with an easy way to ac-cess information.The Fleet & Family Support Center has

always taken steps to ensure that they getthe “word out” to service members andtheir families about the large variety of

services the center provides.The FFSC distributes information by

mailing their quarterly newsletter to allservice members and families residing inbase housing. It sends the newsletter viaemail to all homeport liaisons, ombuds-

men, NBVC Housing and Lincoln hous-ing. Information is also distributedthrough The Lighthouse, POW, posters,at meetings and briefs and through adver-tisements at the base theater.Despite all these efforts, with a large

amount of military members and theirfamilies residing off-base in the commu-nity, there was concern that a portion ofthe military population was not beingreached about services available at theFFSC.Now that more of the population is be-

coming connected via email and socialnetworking sites, the FFSC has createdan opportunity to expand theway inwhichit distributes information about services.The FFSC has joined the more than 750million active users on Facebook.

Now when you go to http://www.Face-book.com/FFSC.NBVC, youwill not onlyhave access to the quarterly newsletter, butto a whole host of additional informationregarding upcoming classes and work-shops that can assist you with virtuallyanything from buying a house, writing aneffective resume or raising a newborn.Two other programs within the FFSC

also have their own Facebook pages. TheSexual Assault Prevention and ResponseProgram can be found at http://www.face-book.com/#!/NBVCSAPRand theExcep-tional Family Member Program can befound at http://www.facebook.com/EFMP.LiaisonFor more information about the Fleet

basketball, strength and conditioning,cycling and archery. A hike through Syc-amore Canyon in PointMugu State Park,which is wheelchair-accessible, and surfingat a nearby beach are also planned.Morgan said he’s personally looking

forward to the basketball game that willhave wounded warriors who use wheel-chairs on one team and able-bodied of-ficers and chief petty officers fromNBVCusing wheelchairs on the opposing team.“Since my vertical jump is not what it

used to be, sitting in a chair rolling up anddown the court will be awesome!”Morgansaid. “It’s all about interaction with ourguests and having fun.”The date and time of the games have

not yet been determined. For details, seethe Aug. 25 edition of The Lighthouse.Over the last two years, the U.S. Olym-

pic Committee has created programs in136 communities that provide physical

activities for people with physical andvisual disabilities, with an emphasis oninjured military personnel and veter-ans.Its work on the 10 upcoming camps

combines the efforts of Navy Safe Harbor— which provides services for the seri-ously wounded, ill and injured Navy andCoast Guard personnel and which spon-sors the Navy-Coast Guard WoundedWarrior Training Camps at NBVC— theAir Force counterpart to Navy Safe Har-bor and the U.S. Special OperationsCommand’s Care Coalition RecoveryProgram.The other wounded warrior training

camps at NBVC focus on getting Navyand Coast Guard athletes ready for theWarrior Games, an annual event that haswounded warriors from each militarybranch competing against one another.Morgan said the USOC camps are fo-cused more on reintroducing the wound-ed athletes to organized sports and help-ing them participate in communityprograms near their homeport.
