What’s going on with the RV Park at Port Hueneme?

Question: It appears that work to complete the new addition to the RV Park at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme, has come to a close and the

weeds are invading. Why was work stopped, and is the project not going to be

completed any time in the future?

Answer: The RV Park expansion is a Morale, Welfare and Recreation

project. The contractor completed about 93 percent of the development with

good quality work. He has, however, run into financial problems, and the work

was halted as we sort through the legal processes. In the meantime, MWR hasreceived funding to clean up and maintain the grounds. We will get the park

opened as soon as possible.

Over the last few months I have hadthe privilege of speaking at several or-ganizations about military spouse-dom.

I love these opportunities. I am alwaysstruck by civilians’ genuine interest in“our world” and desire to support us — but they often don’t know how. So

the column for this edition is less for myfellow military families and spouses andmore for the civilian community, civicorganizations, churches and others look-ing for ways to connect with and supportthe military community.

Before I jump in, I want to thank youfor your support, kindness and generos-ity toward military families. I want togive you ideas to connect with military,whether one service member, a commandor unit or an entire base.

It may help you to know that Depart-ment of Defense directives make it very,very difficult for commands to earnfunds for morale events such as holidayparties or homecomings. They are nolonger permitted to solicit funds or ma-terials. However, they are absolutelypermitted to accept donations of both

when offered, although there are somelimitations. You can ask them what theyneed. Once asked, they are free to tellyou the needs of the Family ReadinessGroup or the command. So suggestionNo. 1: Be sure to ask what they need.

Who do you ask? Great question!Listed below are the names of organiza-tions and positions that can help you:

The Fleet & Family Support Centeris the department on each base taskedwith Sailor and family support.

In addition, the Navy has two posi-tions at the command level that can bea valuable contact for you: the ombuds-

man and Family Readiness Group(FRG) president. The ombudsman isappointed by the commanding officerand is the official resource, referral andcommunication point for the commandfamilies. The FRG president providessocial events for the morale of the fam-ilies and Sailors.

Finally, the Navy has Morale, Welfareand Recreation. The base and/or thecommand website will help you connectwith these contacts.

For the National Guard and Reserves,both the state level and local armory orReserve Center have positions that varystate to state. To get started, connectwith the commanding officer at the localcenter or the Family Programs Office atthe state level.

Again, thank you for all you do tosupport military and their families. Ihope this column will help you connectmore easily and launch a new relation-ship with the military in your midst.

The sights and soundsof back-to-schoolime are everywhere. Students can be seen

with their crisp new clothes and cleanbackpacks hesitantly walking towards theyellow school bus while others balancetheirnew lunch box while riding theirbike

ith friends. The new school year has ar-ived indeed.

Parents or not, thisis a time for all driv-ers to be proactive to keep kids safe asthey head back to school. Parents shouldalso take the time to talk to their childrenabout safety.

Hereare some tips from Safe Kids USA,the Department of Transportation andAmerican Academy of Pediatrics.

All drivers• When backing out of a driveway or

leaving a garage, watch out for childrenwalking or bicycling to school.

• When driving in neighborhoods withschool zones, watch out for young peoplewho may be thinking about getting school,but may not be thinking of getting theresafely.

• Be alert. Children arriving late for thebus or school may dart into the street

without looking for traffic.• Learn the “flashing light signal sys-

tem” that school bus drivers use to alertmotorists of pending actions: Yellowflashing lights indicate that the bus is pre-paring to stop to load or unload children;motorists should slow down and prepareto stop their vehicles. Red flashing lightsand extended stop arms indicate that thebus has stopped and that children are get-ting on or off; motorists must stop theircars and wait until the red light stopsflashing, the extended stop sign is with-

drawn, and the bus begins moving beforethey can start driving again.

• Yellow crosswalk lines may be paintedat school crossings. If a pedestrian is atany point in the yellow crosswalk, driversmay not pass through the crosswalk, evenwhen it appears to be safe.

Children in the car• All passengers should wear a seat belt

and/or an age- and size-appropriate carsafety seat or booster seat.

• Your child should ride in a belt-posi-tioning booster seat until the vehicle’s seatbelt fits properly (usually when the childreaches about 4-foot-9 and is between 8to 12 years of age. This means that thechild is tall enough to sit against the ve-hicle seat back with her legs bent at theknees and feet hanging down and theshoulder belt lies across the middle of thechest andshoulder, notthe neck or throat;the lap belt is low and snug across thethighs, and not the stomach.

• All children under 13 years of ageshould ride in the rear seat of vehicles. If you must use the front passenger seat, slideit as far back as possible.

Bike• Always wear a bicycle helmet, no mat-

ter how short or long the ride.• Ride on the right, in the same direction

as auto traffic.• Use appropriate hand signals.• Respect traffic lights and stop signs.• Wear brightclothing to increase visibil-

ity.• Know the “rules of the road.” Look

them up at www.aap.org/family/bicycle.htm.

Walking to school• Makesure your child’s walk to a school

is a safe route with well-trained adultcrossing guards at every intersection.

• Be realistic about your child’s pedes-trian skills. Because small children areimpulsive and less cautious around traffic,carefully consider whether or not yourchild is ready to walk to school withoutadult supervision.

— For any K-12 education related questions,

please contact the NBVC school liaison

I could not believe it. The other day,while pumping gas at the base station, Isaw one of my retired heroes in person.His former Army unit was identified onhis license plate. All it said was the 442ndRegimental Combat Team. To me, thatsays it all.

Here is a brief background on this his-

torical and legendary Army unit takenfrom Wikipedia: “The 442nd RegimentalCombat Team of the United States Armywas an all Japanese American unit. Theyfought primarily in Europe during WorldWar II, beginning in 1944. The familiesof many of its soldiers were subject tointernment.

“The442nd wasa self-sufficientfightingforceand fought with uncommon distinc-tion in Italy, southern France and Ger-many. The unit became the most highlydecorated regiment in the history of theUnited States Armed Forces, including 21Medal of Honor recipients. The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was“Go for Broke.”

Many years ago before I joined the U.

S. Navy, I asked my officer recruiter outof curiosity if there were any famousAsian American fight units in the military.The firstwords he spoke to me were, “The442ndRegimentCombat Team, look themup.”

I had forgotten about that for severalyears until I did the invocation prayer ata military function in Hawaii, where I hadserved with Sailors and Marines.

Afterwards, I saw a small crowd sur-

rounding a couple of dignified lookinggentlemen. I asked someone who thosemen were, and the person simply said,“These are veterans from the 442nd.” Iwalked toward the small crowd and wait-ed for my turn before I shook their handsand spoke to them for a few minutes. Itwas something I would never forget.

They were truly an integral part in ournation’s fight against the evils and tyr-anny of fascism in Europe. Equally im-portant, their selfless sacrifice also madeit easier to pave the way for other AsianAmericans who wanted to serve theircountry.

When I saw this veteran pumping gasin front of me, it brought a flood of won-derful memories about my home in Ha-waii.

The next time if you see a veteran, andit doesn’t matter from which war, take afew moments to thank him or herfor theirservice to our nation.

May God bless you and your lovedones!

Take time to thank a veteran for service to our nation


As excited as the base chaplain was that125 children signed up for Vacation BibleSchool at Naval Base Ventura County, hewas even more pleased that more than 50volunteers showed up to help at the five-day event.

“That makes it very special,” said Lt.Cmdr. Jeffrey Han.

Vacation Bible School, held this year atPoint Mugu’s Chapel of Faith, ran Aug.

8-12 from 9 a.m. to noon. The overalltheme was “A Sun, Surf and Beach Bash,”

with children age 3 to 12 splitting theirmorning between five different stations:Bible study, sing and play, games, craftsand snacks.

“We talk about some big questions, like‘Who is Jesus,’ and ‘How can Jesus helpme when I mess up?’” explained TammyBaca, a volunteer who helped organizeand direct this year’s school.

Baca, the spouse of Builder 1st ClassIascc Baca of Naval Mobile ConstructionBattalion (NMCB) 4, helped decorateeach of the classroomswith a beach themeand came up with many of the craft proj-ects — like salvation necklaces — andsnack projects, including crosses made of pretzels and cheese, and beach cups madeof pudding, crushed cookie “sand” and acandy sea creature.

Destiny Lockwood, 12,the daughter of Denise and Keith Lockwood of NMCB5, was enjoying the event.

“I think it’s really great,” she said. “It’s

fun to learn about Jesus.”The highlight of Vacation Bible Schoolcameon Friday when the students allgath-ered to perform for their parents thesongsand Bible verses they’d practiced allweek.

By Lt. Clay D. VernonR-55

The Minutemen of Fleet Logistics Sup-ort Squadron 55 (VR-55), led by Cmdr.

Alastair MacGregor, recently completedan innovative, cooperative exercise with

SEAL Team 1 and Support Delivery Ve-icle Team 1 (SDVT-1).During the month of July, VR-55 pro-

vided dedicated air support to the SEALsduring the team’s unit-level land warfaretraining operations. This support taskingis the first of its kind since July 2009 forThe Minutemen.

Oneof the C-130sassigned to thesquad-ron provided the SEALs with much-need-

d air mobility while operating out of FortHunter-Liggett, a remote site near PasoRobles. The squadron and its flight crewstransported more than 30,000 pounds of cargo andpersonnel whileoperating in andout of Hunter-Liggett’s dirt airstrip.

Operating on dirt airstrips is a uniquecapability of the C-130Hercules, and land-ng and departing from such strips is a rare

opportunity for VR-55. A total of three

missions were flown into the airfield overa week’s time.

“Justwhen you think you have seen mosteverything like I have, an opportunity likethis comes up andallows us to exercise thefull capabilities of the C-130T,”said seniorsquadron pilot Lt. Cmdr. Mike Lloyd. “It

was certainly an opportunity to enjoy thetasking we had been given. It made me feelyoung again.”

Working with the SEALs and othermembers of the special warfare commu-nity is something that members of VR-55have always taken pride in.

Lt. Petey Noel described the experi-ence as “something very special.”

“Few pilots ever have the opportunityto support such an exceptional group,”he said. “It is rewarding to know thatwe assisted the SEALs and their mis-sion.”

Rent to own might not be the best financing method

What is a rent-to-own (RTO) store?RTO stores allow customers to rent anitem, typically furniture, electronics or ap-pliances, and make a weekly or monthlypayment until they own it outright. Therental period is stretched out so that the

customer feels they have plenty of time topay on the item.

Buying through RTO seems so muchmore attractive for those who have a poorcredit history or no ability to get a creditcard. In many cases, using RTO seemsmore affordable than an up-front purchasebecause of the lowweekly payments. How-ever, when the payments are added up, thebuyer ends up paying four to five moretimes than a conventional loan wouldhavebeen for the same item.

Let’s look at some examples:

40-inch LCD TV• Buy-it-now price: $ 1,199.99• Rent-to-own price: $ 1,919.76• Interest rate: 60 percent

Xbox 360 Halo Bundle• Buy-it-now price: $629.99• Rent-to-own price: $839.88• Interest rate: 33%

If you decide that RTO is right for you,do yourself a favor and crunch the num-bers before you agree to any terms. As

with any contract, before signing, ask fora copy andconsult with Navy Legal. Whatyou are signing is a type of lease.

Like a lease, if you do not follow theterms of the contract, you may lose theitem. For instance, if one payment ismissed, even because you may havethought there wasa grace period, you maylose the items and all the money you paidto rent them.

When does RTO make sense? RTO is agood alternative if you need an item fora few weeks or months. For instance, aftermoving back to the U.S. following an over-seas tour of duty, one family used RTOto rent a refrigerator until their householdgoods arrived. The family called RTO topick up the rental as soon as their house-hold goods were delivered. This was amore cost-effective alternative than eating

every meal in restaurants.As much as NMCRSwould like to help

families in these situations, it cannot. In-stead, it can offer advice for alternativepurchasing plans such as using the NEXlayaway program, a credit cardwhich maybe cheaper than RTO or the old fashionedway: Save for it! Do not let yourself getcaught in the RTO trap. ContactNMCRSat 982-4409 for help creating spending andsaving plans.

Reservists and their families were hon-ored during the third annual FamilyReadiness Conference and Warrior Rec-ognition Day on Aug. 13.

Navy Operational Support Centers(NAVOPSPTCEN) Port Hueneme and

Point Mugu co-hosted this event at NavalBase Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hue-

eme.In his opening remarks at the Needham

Theater, NAVOPSPTCENPortHueneme’scommanding officer, Capt. Ronald Os-wald, commendedthe Reservists returningfrom mobilization.

“Your journey… began long before‘boots on the ground,’” he said. “It is aourney of deliberate and continuous

dedication to comprehensive readinessbefore and after deploying.”

Capt. James McHugh, commanding of-icer of NBVC, stressed the importance

of the individual Sailor.“The true strength of our Navy,”cHugh said, “is the people who dedicate

hemselves to a cause greater than them-elves.”

By the same token, he recognized fam-ily support and readiness as the member’sacit strength.

Port Hueneme Mayor Sylvia Muñozchnopp expressed her pride and admira-ion for the Reservists.

“You all represent the Nehemiahs of oday, “ said Schnopp,referring to the Oldestament figure who rebuilt the walls of erusalem. “I’m proud to have you callort Hueneme home.”The keynote speaker, Rear Adm. Sandyaniels, deputy Commander of Jointunctional Component Command forpace, noted the challenges facing the

avy today.“The distinction between combatant

nd non-combatant is unclear,” she said.Geographic boundaries are growing in-reasingly irrelevant.” Despite the chal-enges, Daniels conveyed her faith in theailors and their families to ensure thetrength and safety of the nation.

During the ceremonies, Daniels pre-ented Chief Steelworker Derek Strongith the Purple Heart for wounds received

n action. Strong had deployed with Navalobile Construction Battalion (NMCB)18 to Kandahar, Afghanistan, where his

rmored vehicle struck an improvised ex-losive device.Strongwas just one of the many Reserv-

sts who mobilized during this past year.

As their names flashed up onto the over-head screen, the returning Reservists andtheir families were invited onto the stageto shake hands and receive thanks fromthe official party, including Capt. MarcusCromartie, commanding officer of NavyRegion Southwest Reserve ComponentCommand.

Various outreach organizations andother service providers offered short pre-sentations at the theater and manned

booths surrounding NAVOPSPTCENPort Hueneme for the duration of theday.

For some, such as Construction Me-chanic 1st Class Mathew Tate, assignedto Naval Facilities Expeditionary LogisticsCenter (NFELC), the day was both fun

and informative.“After 11 years, this is the first [Recog-

nition Day] I’ve attended; I regret I didn’tattend more,” Tate remarked. “My wifeStacy, who is prior military, was extreme-

ly impressed. I thought I knew everything,but I learned a couple of useful things.”After the presentations, activities trans-

ferred to NAVOPSPTCEN Port Huenemefor the duration of the day. Lunch wasprovided for the roughly 1,500 who at-tended some or all of the day’s events.

Many American teenagers spend theirsummer vacation working, playing videogames or participating in extracurricularactivities. However, this summer, 31 SeaCadets spent part of their summer devel-oping new talents and having new experi-

ences.The Center for Seabees and FacilitiesEngineering (CSFE)Learning Site and theNaval Construction Training Center(NCTC), both at Naval Base VenturaCounty, Port Hueneme, hosted the 10thannual Sea Cadet Seabee Summer Train-ing program.

Five days of Seabee-specific trainingtook place thesecond week of Augustandwas attended by young men and womenfrom across the United States.

The cadets received an in-depth look atwhat makes the world-famous Seabees theconstruction force of choice. During theirvisit, they learned the magic behind theconstruction electrician, utilitiesman,builder, construction mechanic and equip-ment operator ratings.

she has been a critical element to the pro-ram’s success.“We have a lot of pride in what we do,

nd we like to show off our constructionskills,” commented Guffey.“The safety and security of the cadets

is our top priority. We want the cadets tolearn how to accomplish a task while ad-

ering to strict safety requirements.”Cadet Justis Mencarelli, a native of Ven-

tura County, said the training exceededis expectations.“I enjoyed constructingthe heavy timber

bridge,”he said. “In fact, my team’s bridgeis going to serve as the example for next

year’s cadets.”Cadet Steven Stanbrough, a five-year

veteran of the Sea Cadet program and aember of the NBVC-based Ben Moreell

Battalion, enjoyed the electrician portionof the weeklong training.

“We ascended in the bucket truck,” hesaid of the vehicle used to operate on el-

evated power lines. “I wassurprised at howhigh it could get. You can’t be afraid of heights if you want to be an electrician.”

The week concluded with a graduationceremony and the presentation of certifi-cates of achievement. The lessons learnedand experiences gained are sure to last alifetime.

On Aug.3, theNaval SatelliteOperations Center (NAVSOC)welcomed a visit from ViceAdm.Barry McCullough, com-mander, U.S. Fleet Cyber Com-mand, and commander, U.S.

10th Fleet.McCullough met with seniorleaders to talk about the com-mand’s mission and future op-erations. Following a commandbrief by the NAVSOC com-manding officer, Capt. KevinJohnson, and a question-and-answer session with commandpersonnel, McCullough wasgiven an in-depth tour of theoperations center.

The tour gave NAVSOC per-sonnel the opportunity to showthe important work they do inoperating and maintaining crit-ical satellite communications forthe Fleet, Department of De-fense and other governmentalorganizations.

McCullough said he waspleased with the hard workand dedication shown by thecommand. He said the Navyhas recognized that modernwarfighting has moved intothe cyber domain, and thepeople who maintain and op-

erate satellite communicationsfor the joint warfighter are thekey to ensuring that commandand control is maintained incombat environments.

McCullough assumed hiscurrent duties in December2009 as the Navy establishedU.S. Fleet Cyber Commandand re-established U.S. 10thFleet the following month.This effort was part of the vi-

sion of Chief of Naval Opera-tions, Adm. Gary Roughead,to obtain the integration andinnovation necessary toachieve warfighter superiorityacross the full spectrum of military operations in all do-mains.

“People who follow aviation are sur-prised to see this aircraft here,” he said.

Only three S-3Bs are still flying in theNavy, and all are at Point Mugu.

“You fly this thing?” one man asked ashe walked by.

“Yes, sir, I do,” Sayer replied.Designed in the 1990s for anti-subma-

rine warfare, the S-3B was modified for

use with air-to-ground missiles and is nowused primarily for range clearance. It wascalled into action earlier this month whenexercises took place at NBVC PointMugu,forcing the closure of Surfers Beach.

Sayer and the other VX-30 crew mem-bers who staffed the two-day CamarilloAir Show chatted with dozens of visi-tors.

“It’s a really reliable aircraft,” Sayer toldJoe Kardack, a retired Air Force lieuten-ant visiting from the Los Angeles area.“There’s a lot of redundancy in this air-craft.”

He explained to Kardack that the S-3Bhasdual hydraulicsand an auxiliary pow-er system.

“Most military aircraft are built withredundancies,” he explained. “They canget shot up and still make it back.”

Kardack said he enjoys the CamarilloAir Show— thisis the fourth one ina rowhe’s attended.

Sayer, too, was enjoying the event.“We’re proud to be part of this com-

munity involvement and share our capa-bilities with the public,”he said. “We alsohope it will inspire future aviators.”

For the record, the S-3B travels 450knots per hour — close to 500 miles perhour. Today, it’s used for range clearance,and it’s kept atthe VX-30 hangar atNBVCPoint Mugu.

In these challenging economic times,mployers all across the country are feel-ng the pinch to cut corners and make do

ith little. So what do you do when em-loyees give you notice that they will benavailable for two days, two weeks or aear serving in the Navy Reserve?For employers recently recognized on

oard Naval Base Ventura CountyNBVC), Port Hueneme, the answer isimple: Support them.

To acknowledge their support for mem-ersserving the UnitedStates in the Navyeserve, Navy Operational Support Cen-

er (NOSC) PortHueneme hosted an Em-loyer Support of the Guard and Reserve

ESGR) Civilian Employer Recognitionay on July 17.This event highlighted more than 30

mployers from across the public and pri-ate sector nominated by their employees

or their dedication to supporting theireservist.

“My boss is really understanding,” saidlectronics Technician 1st Class Elizabethair with Naval Beach Group 1 Detach-ent 119. “[Bank of America] tends to

lan multiple months in advance and theavy does not necessarily do that, and I

eally appreciate their support.”Chief Operations Specialist Derek Din-

ee echoed the importance of his employ-rs’ support.

“In 15 years, they’ve been very support-ve all the time with never any kind of ushback,” he said. “The leadership qual-

ties you bring back to the company areppreciated.”

The day kicked off with an awards cer-

emony where Sam Giovinazzi, ESGRrep-resentative from San Diego, presented theemployers with the ESGR PatriotAward.

They also received a letter of apprecia-tion from Vice Adm. Dirk Debbink, chief of Navy Reserve, and a commemorativecommand coin from NOSC Port Huen-eme’s commanding officer, Capt. Ron Os-wald. Additionally, Utilitiesman 1st ClassRyan Wood presented his employers from

the City of Simi Valley Public Works withflags flown over Kandahar, Afghanistan,during his tour there in 2010.

“We’re very proud of what Ryan accom-plished and are happy to have him safelyhome,” said Cindy Phillips, waterworksadministrative secretary.

Wood’s employers went so far as to callhis wife during his deployment, hang flagsin Simi Valley in his honor and raise a ban-ner on Main Street for his homecoming.

While employer support provides much

relief to the servicemember and families,Jeff Hunter, surgical service line adminis-trator for Kaiser Permanente, acknowl-edges that it is a team effort. “This[award]is not about me. Many people stand up tosupport Chief Hospital Corpsman AdrianYates.”

Following the awards ceremony, employ-erswere treated to a buffet lunch completewith a cake dedicated to ESGR and theirmission for dessert. The group received ademonstration on how to prepare a MealReady to Eat (MRE) as well as an oppor-tunity to participate in a beam hit weaponssimulator. The day’s events concluded witha tourof Fleet Logistics Support Squadron55 (VR-55) onboard NBVC Point Mugu.

Nearly 150 military and civilian surf-ers entered the 4th annual Naval BaseVentura County Point Mugu Surf Con-test Presented by Quiksilver on Aug.20-21, an event that drew about 7,500spectators over the two days.

Among the spectators on the second

day was quarterback Drew Brees, whohad a day off from the New OrleansSaints training camp being held about10 miles away in Oxnard.

“Every year this event just gets betterand better,” said Dan Alpern, marketingdirector for Morale, Welfare and Rec-reation, which organizes the event. “Thequality of the competitors is wonderful,and there’s a lot of sincere appreciationfrom the military competitors for hav-ing this event.”

The contest provides an annual op-portunity for surfers to take on what’sconsidered to be some of the best wavesalong California’s coast. The surfingbeach faces south, and that, combinedwith a submarine canyon and sandbars,gives it a unique, big wave.

“I’d say the waves off of Mugu aresome of the best in the states or eventhe world,” said Master Chief PersonnelSpecialist (SW/SCW/AW) Jeffery Eas-son of the Space and Naval Warfare

Systems Center in San Diego, whoended up taking second in the MilitaryDivision. “Whoever decided where Navybases were going to be must have beena surfer.”

Machinery Repair Technician PettyOfficer 2nd Class Matt Merel, fromCoast Guard Station Bodega Bay,pulled a hat trick by placing first in theMilitary Division three years in a row.

“It’s great coming out here just tohave a good time,” said Merel. “I’ve

made good friends out here in the com-petition and it’s good to have a chanceto surf with them again.”

Coastguardsman Lt. Simon Blancofrom Sector Los Angeles-Long Beachcame in third, with Air Force ReservistCapt. Craig Owings placing fourth.

The competition categories werebodyboard, open, women, young gunsand military. Each heat was 15 minuteslong, and surfers could catch a maxi-mum of 15 waves. Everyone’s best twowaves were judged to determine whomoved on to the next round. Duringthe finals, surfers had 20-minuteheats.

Capt. Craig Owings of the Air Force Reserve rides a wave on the final day of competition. He placed fourth in the Military Division and was happy just to havemade the finals. “I was in a plane crash and broke both ankles, and no one was sure whether or not I’d be able to surf again,” he explained. “So, just being

able to come out here and surf again, especially in a place where everyone is so friendly ... just makes it great.”


Lt. Cmdr. Justin Hawkins competes on the first day of the surf contest, Saturday, Aug. 20. Hawkins didn’thave far to go for the competition; he is with VR-55 at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu. He grew upsurfing in Florida.
