Question:It has recently come to the attention of residents on Point Mugu that there has been an increase in

the number of home invasions, robberies and vandalism from juveniles on base. Within a one-weekperiod, seven homes were invaded and property was stolen. While each of these incidents has beenreported to the base police, we would like to know what is actually being done about this increasein crime and what can be done to ensure the safety of the families that live on base and have fallenvictims of each of these crimes.

Answer:Force Protection has received four calls in recent weeks concerning residents leaving their doors

unlocked while they were not home and someone entering their home and removing some change, andin one incident two bottles of alcohol were also taken. During the initial investigation it was noted ineach of these cases the residents had left their doors unlocked and there were no signs of forced entry.These cases are actively being pursued, and two suspects have been identified. We are hoping to

complete the investigation on these incidents in the very near future.I strongly suggest that everyone get in the habit of locking your doors when you’re not home and

locking your car when it’s parked in the driveway. On base or off, it is always best to take simpleprecautions for personal safety.

Has crime increased recently at Point Mugu?

Melissa Ramirez knows what it’s like togo shopping for a school.For more than a year, Ramirez, the

sexual assault response coordinator forNaval Base Ventura County (NBVC),toured schools, met with principals, wentto open houses and talked with other par-

ents to find whatshe calls “the bestfit” for her twoyoungsters.“That’s why the

Education Options Fair is such a goodidea,” she said of the event planned forFriday, Feb. 11, at NBVC Port Hueneme.“A lot of parents don’t have informationabout the education options available fortheir children. This will let parents knowabout the different choices they have.”Twenty-six schools, including a home

school and a virtual school, have con-firmed they will attend the event, whichruns from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Duke’s Ball-room.“A lot of parents think, ‘I live in this

area, somy child has to go to this school,’”Ramirez said. “Andwhile sometimes that’sbest, there might be better options, betterprograms that they don’t know about.”Ramirez thought she had her children’s

education mapped out when she and herhusband, Alex, a state correctional officer,

Working from home is a dream of manywomen, not just military spouses. But formilitary spouses, a portable career basedat home is golden.Let’s define three ways to work from

home: independent business affiliation,launching a business from your idea orconcept, and working from home, whichis often called telecommuting.Before launching a business of any type,

assess your circumstances and character-istics. How much time do you have to de-vote to this business? Do you have spaceto store inventory?Have you discussed theimpact of this business on your familywith your spouse and older children? Areyou a self-motivated person? Can you setdeadlines, establish a schedule and multi-task?More information on self-assessmentis available at www.simplebizplanning.com.Gain from others’ experience. The In-

ternet is a powerful tool. Research all busi-ness ideas. Look for associations con-nected with your business ideas. Contactothers who are doing what you are doingand interview them. Look for others whohave tried and failed. Learn from their

input what to avoid or why they stoppedtheir effort.

Independent business affiliations: Thisis perhaps the safest way to start a homebusiness. These affiliations offer provenproducts, a support system and resourcesand, in many cases, mentors. ExamplesincludeAmway,MaryKay and PamperedChef. Consider the longevity of yourchoice. My sister sold china, crystal andhome goods, but she realized that oncecustomers collected their chosen line ofproducts, she didn’t have “add on” busi-ness. She switched to another company

where she received much more add-onsales. A quick Internet search will tell youhowmany in your area are already sellingthese products, but bear in mind thatyou’re a mobile military spouse and thatopens up more markets for your prod-ucts.Entrepreneur: This business will require

the most in time, product and service de-velopment, advertising and much more.If you love a challenge, this could be thebest effort for you. Jenny Croft, entrepre-neur consultant, exhorts would-be homeCEOs to be sure you are very passionateabout your business as you will be invest-ing somuch into its success. And, the needfor a business plan for this type of initia-tive cannot be over-emphasized.Consider carefully yourmarket base and

impact of relocations. I taught piano andvoice at home. It takes years to have aproductive full “studio.” About the timeI filledmy schedule with students, we weremoving again.Work-at-home: This model offers pos-

sibly the quickest return on investment andthe security of set hours and pay. Work-at-home opportunities include secret-

shopper, virtual assistance, call-centersupport, online tutoring, translation ser-vices and telecommuting. The businesscommunity is increasingly opening op-portunities for telecommuting, if not full-time at least on a part-time basis. It isworth broaching the subject with yourcompany and allows for your job to “trav-el with you”when you relocate. There aremany opportunities, be sure to research.Be warned: For each legitimate work-

at-home business advertised there are 61scams. Research is vital to avoid beingduped by these scams. Never pay to workfrom home unless you’re investing in in-ventory and supplies.Formore information and opportunities

I recommend www.ratracerebellion.com,and always have your base legal office re-view any and all documents before yousign.Best of luck as you join the ranks of

successful CEOs at home!

As a parent attending the EducationOptions Fair on Feb. 11 or a parent re-searching education options for your child,it will become clear that every school hassomething to offer your child’s education.It is important to decide what is most im-portant to you and your family beforedeciding which school is best.According to the guide, “Choosing a

School for Your Child,” printed by theU.S. Department of Education, there arefour steps parents should consider whenchoosing a school.Step 1: Consider your child and family.Take out a sheet of paper and jot down

five things that are important as you con-sider the choice of a school. Your childmay have special language or educationneeds. You know your son or daughterbest. Does your child need a structuredwork environment or possibly more chal-lengingwork?Does your child like to learnthrough physical activity? Are they musi-cal or artistic?The location of the school is also im-

portant. Typically, parents are responsiblefor transportation of their child if theychoose a school outside of their neighbor-

hood school. Are you able to drive yourchild to school? Will your work hours ac-commodate your need to drive your childto school? Do you want your child to goto a school near the before- or after-schoolcare they attend?Step 2: Gather information.If you’re interested in purchasing a car

or a new household appliance, you wouldmost likely talk to family and friends andfind information on the Internet or con-sumer magazines. When investigatingschools, it would also be a good idea tomake phone calls, collect written material

from different school and look for reportsto get the information you need. Publicschools are required to have report cards,which are usually on the district website.You can also find school information

online on sites such as www.greatschools.net and www.schoolmatters.org. Whengathering information about the school,some questions to consider are: Whatevidence is there that the school is effec-tively teaching students to read? Does theschool have a special focus or theme forthe curriculum? Does the school do all itcan to make sure each child learns? Doesit provide opportunities for children to getextra help when they need it? How doesthe school prevent and handle violence,bullying, harassment and other forms ofabusive behavior? Is there an applicationprocess/deadline?Step 3: Visit and observe schools.Contact the schools and make an ap-

pointment to tour the school. It is best tocontact the school principal to set up agood time to visit. Here are some thingsto look for: high expectations, busy stu-dents, great teachers, great principal, vi-brant parent-teacher organization and

rigorous curriculum. Make sure childrenare neither invisible nor scared to be atschool, and look for your own gut reactionthat this is the school for your child.Be assured that families like yours are

welcome, their concerns are acknowledgedand that you are satisfied with the school’sresults on standardized tests and schoolreport cards.Step 4: Apply.Once you select the school(s) that you

think will be best for your child, you willgo through the application process andenroll your child. You will want to beginthis process as early as possible in orderto ensure you meet all the deadlines. Askwhen they will notify you of admittance.The above is general guidance for fam-

ilies choosing a school. Formore informa-tion on education options in VenturaCounty, please attend the NBVC Educa-tion Options Fair on Feb. 11, from 4:30to 6:30 p.m. at Duke’s Ballroom, NBVCPort Hueneme. No registration is neces-sary.Please contact the NBVC school liaison

officer with any questions at 989-5211 ore-mail [email protected].

There is a word that is sometimes usedtoo lightly in our daily vocabulary, andthat word is “love.”The word “love” is so powerful, poetic

and insightful. It has depth and breadthto it that we cannot fully comprehend, yetwe use it so casually that we deteriorateits essence.Love is an action that when practiced

overcomes all evil. When love is in actionthe miraculous can happen. In ChristianScripture, love is defined in I Corinthians13:4-8a as:“Love is patient, love is kind. It does

not envy, it does not boast, it is notproud.“It does not dishonor others, it is not

self-seeking, it is not easily angered, itkeeps no record of wrongs.“Love does not delight in evil but re-

joices with the truth.“It always protects, always trusts, always

hopes, always perseveres.“Love never fails.”Wow, that is powerful!Love serves to unite, not divide. Love

never gives up and always looks for thebest. Love is positive and never self-serv-ing. Love will allow someone to considerothers before considering self. Love prac-ticed and love received can heal all wounds

and restore peace of mind. Love is notselfish and does not expect anythingback.Love is powerful!In I John 4:20-21 it is written: “Who-

ever claims to love God yet hates a broth-er or sister is a liar. For whoever does notlove their brother and sister, whom theyhave seen, cannot love God, whom theyhave not seen.“And he has given us this command:

Anyone who loves God must also lovetheir brother and sister.”Again, love serves to unite, not divide.In its purest form love can only be of-

fered by God. God’s love is eternal and

everlasting. He doesn’t turn love on andoff. He doesn’t grow in love toward us andout of love with us. He simply loves. Heloves us when our actions and words saywe are unlovable. God loves us despiteourselves. He loves us even when we don’tlove ourselves. He loves us when we donot love others. God loves us when wedon’t loveHim. The loveHe offers is pow-erful!If only we could practice a portion of

the love God offers, we would have betterpersonal and professional relationships.In light of celebrating Valentine’s Day,

let’s extend ourselves beyond the mushyinfatuation of what some think defineslove and let’s do our best to humble our-selves enough to love someone else theway God loves us.Instead of looking to receive, what if

you focused on giving? Instead of waitingto see what you get, what if you decidedto be thankful for what you have? Insteadof buying someone something for Valen-tine’s Day because you think you have to,how about spending more time each dayto let someone know how much you loveand appreciate them?Don’t reserve Valentine’s Day for the

day you decide to show your love. Lovehard every day! God does!

Remembering power of God’s love on Valentine’s Day

In 1970, military, government and in-dustrial experts in electronic warfare heldtheir first symposium to share informationand talk about the future.Forty-one years later, on Jan. 25, they

did the same thing at theWestlake Hyatt,and inevitably, the question arose: Whatwill happen in 2052?“Some of those who will be here that

day are yet to be born,” said Rear Adm.RandyMahr, commander, Naval AirWar-fare Center Aircraft Division and assistantcommander for research and engineering,Naval Air Systems Command. “We needto make sure they can stand here and saythanks to us for making the right equip-ment at the right time.”That’s exactly what Mahr did: He

thanked those in the audience for develop-ing the technology that kept him alivewhen he was a bombardier and navigatoron an A-6E Intruder.“I’m here because of you,” he said.Mahr was the keynote speaker of 41st

Annual Electronic Warfare Symposium,a three-day event hosted by the Associa-tion of Old Crows. Opening sessions were

held at the Hyatt; two days of classifiedsessions were held at Naval Base VenturaCounty, Point Mugu.About 250 people were registeredWith collaboration the overall theme of

the symposium, Mahr pointed out thatsharing information is more importanttoday than ever before. So are frugality,flexibility and diversity of thought, hesaid.

“A good idea never delivered is just agood idea,” Mahr said. “It has to be af-fordable. You can’t only build at the highend.”Electronic warfare is constantly chang-

ing, and people have to be ready forthat.“You have to be fast, and you have to

build in flexibility,”Mahr said. “You haveto be able to make changes quickly.”And there’s always room, he said, for

people who think a little differently.Electronic warfare must be dealt with

on a global scale, Mahr said.“We must look at international part-

ners,”he said. “It’s extremely unlikely we’llgo it alone. There’s no corner on the mar-ket in electronic warfare when it comes tobrainpower.”

Bishop Princeton L. Allen, the pastor of Evangelis-tic Baptist Church in Port Hueneme, recently served asthe keynote speaker for the Martin Luther King Jr.celebration at the Naval Air Warfare Center WeaponsDivision (NAWCWD) Point Mugu.The theme was, “Remember! Celebrate! Act! A Day

On, Not A Day Off!”Capt. Rich Burr, vice commander, NAWCWD, and

Point Mugu’s teammates at China Lake were tuned inon VTC.Burr welcomed everyone and talked about some of

King’s accomplishments, emphasizing that everyonewas there to honor a “great leader.” He introducedAllen, who was born in Oxnard, as a sought-after con-ference and workshop speaker and a compassionatepastor, husband and father who loves people and hasa passion for the lost.

“Dr. King’s life is of great significance,”Allen said.“Dr. King was the ultimate humanitarian. As we reflecton the past 25 years, we must remember to celebrateand act and approach this day as a day on, not a dayoff.”Allen talked about how Jesus said to turn the other

cheek, even at the cross, and how Jesus took a non-violent approach and did not say a mumbling word.King followed this example, he said, answering the call

and being non-violent in his approach.As we answer the call, Allen said, we become a voice

for the voiceless and become victory to victims of pov-erty. We also help bring justice where injustice prevailsand restoration to the socially raped.He challenged us to get involved in our communities

and become a volunteer.“Do not let the dream die,” he said.In closing, Allen said, “Rosa Parks sat down soMar-

tin Luther King could get up, so Jesse Jackson couldrun, so President Barack Obama could win, so we allcould volunteer, live the dream andmake the difference— so humanity could live.”Committee members Romona Franklin, Eddie Ed-

wards and Kim Silver then provided a list of King-related activities going on in Ventura County and inRidgecrest, and Veronica Vasquez, committee chair-man, presented Allen with an appreciation gift.In closing remarks, Dr. Ronald Smiley, director of

Electronic Warfare/Combat Systems, NAVAIR, anddirector of Avionics Department Research and Engi-neering, thanked the committee for coming togetherto put on an excellent program.“Dr. King was about service,” Smiley said, “and that

we need to think about what we can do to help others.It is not about what is in it for me.”

The U.S. Navy’s maritime strategy, thegreening of the forces and fleet innova-tions were the topics as the Santa Bar-bara Navy League gathered at its recentannual meeting to listen to keynote speak-ers Capt. Bruce Derenski and Rear Ad-miral William R. French.The meeting, held at Santa Barbara’s

Maritime Museum, drew more than 100members and guests.The evening began with a recounting

of the Navy League’s active calendar in2010, including fundraising efforts thatgarnered $133,000 to support the 13Navy,Marine andCoastGuard units the Leaguehas adopted.Derenski, SubmarineGroup 2 represen-

tative at General Dynamics Electric BoatShipyard in Groton, Conn., began theevening’s presentations. He oversees crewreadiness and training in support of fleetrepair periods andVirginia-class new con-struction and post-shakedown availabili-ties.One of the new Virginia-class subma-

rines was the focus of Derenski’s presen-tation. Pinch-hitting for the commandingofficer of PCUCalifornia (SSN 781), De-renski updated the guests on the construc-tion progress of the Navy’s newest nucle-ar powered submarine. Upon delivery tothe Navy, it will be the most modern andsophisticated attack submarine in theworld.The captain’s focus was on the innova-

tions in design that have made Virginia-class subs a model of efficiency. Theseinclude modular construction, which hasshortened the building period from 74 to60 months.“The sub is built in four pieces instead

of 10,” he noted.Other improvements include more sen-

sors scattered throughout the hull of theship, the replacement of periscopes withtwo photonics masts that house color,high-resolution black and white, and in-frared digital cameras atop telescopingarms.“No more waltzing with the one-eyed

witch,”Derenski said. “Instead there arevideo screens which several crew can viewsimultaneously.”Other improvements include a touch-

screen torpedo room and paperless com-mand logs.Of the 122 crewmembers, 14 are Cali-

fornia natives, a “big number of crew from

one state for a sub,” Derenski noted.French, commander of Navy Region

Southwest, discussed the Navy’s maritimestrategy and the region’s efforts to leadthe way in shore installationmanagement.His presentation covered a variety ofworld events, including the Global Waron Terror, piracy and the greening of theNavy.One of themajor success stories, French

said, is the Navy’s leadership in research-ing and using alternative energy sources.

“There are 12 regions in the Navy, andthe Southwest region is the leader in en-ergy andwater conservation,”French said.“We put our savings into efficiencies andinnovations for ships and Sailors.”The region is using alternative energy

such as wind, geothermal and solar andis on its way to meeting the Secretary of

the Navy’s ambitious energy savingsgoals.French elaborated on the global scope

of the Navy’s operations and the ad-vantages the Navy has in fighting thewar on terror.“One-third of our assets are deployed,

“he said. “Fifty percent of combatoperations are flown by the Navy. Theneat thing is we take our runways withus.”The global interconnection of world

governments can only help countercommon threats such as piracy, henoted. The Combined Task 151, cur-rently led by Pakistan, is comprised of25 countries supporting internationalefforts to combat piracy.“This kind of collaboration with al-

lies can lead to a payoff down the road,”French said. “We are all working to-gether in this effort, and this can onlybenefit the work we have to do withthese same countries in the future.”Not all of the Navy’s deployments

focus singularly on combat operations.French noted the Navy’s considerablework in conducting global humanitar-ian aid in nations affected by naturaldisasters, and civic assistance such asthe Timor-Leste Pacific partnership,which provides a variety of medical anddental programs and shipboard surger-ies to the people of Timor-Leste.French concluded his presentation by

discussing the Southwest Region’s areaof responsibility, which includes suchvaried resources as test ranges and en-dangered species. The region’s abilityto manage both of those is unparal-leled.“As great as our bases are, we couldn’t

operate without our ranges,” he said.“They are a national treasure. There isno equivalent to that anywhere on theglobe.”The region also employs 147 environ-

mental personnel, who, among otherduties, oversee and protect 51 differentendangered species.That led French to expound upon the

Navy’s greatest asset: its people.“Our Sailors are smart, team-ori-

ented and world-wise,” he said. “With-out them, we are nothing.”French then answered several ques-

tions from the audience on subjectssuch as piracy, nuclear power, downsiz-ing and the need for translators in thearmed forces.

ORUZGAN PROVINCE, Afghanistan – Six teams of Seabeesfrom Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3’s Detach-ment 4 are braving the harsh winter weather here in Afghanistanas they continue to support the Village Stability Platform opera-tions of the Combined Joint Special Operation Task Force – Af-ghanistan (CJSOTF-A).This month brings a new addition to the strong relationship that

the Seabees have built with the team.CJSOTF-A has been operating in Afghanistan since the war

began in 2001, but now,for the first time ever, aninfantry battalion hasbeen assigned to thetask force. This additionof the infantry battalionhas brought on a surgeof construction projectsfor the Seabees.Most of the projects

are centered on largewooden buildings andtent-and-floor systemsto provide for the bat-talion’s immediate needof berthing.“We are doing this to

give them a place to laytheir heads at the end of the day,” said Builder 2nd Class (SCW)Jonathon Slaton, whose team has been rehabilitating pre-existingAfghan structures in order to prepare for the battalion’s arrival.“We are paving the way to the establishment of a greater SOTFpresence here.”The construction projects allowed for little pre-planning. The

small group of Seabees redeployed from their original mission onshort notice to construct the two 20-by-34-foot floor systems thatserved as platforms for the berthing tent. In addition to the floor-ing systems and tents, the Seabees installed heating units in orderto provide warmth for the harsh cold of Afghanistan.“These guys absolutely love us, they can’t get enough and that

is what we are here for,” said Construction Electrician 2nd Class(SCW) Luke Timmerman, the team leader.These six Seabees from NMCB 3 are breaking new ground and

forging important relationships with theMarines, Sailors, Airmenand Soldiers that comprise CJSOTF-A.The infantry battalion will provide additional security to the

local populace and villages that are seeking independence fromTaliban influence. The infantry battalion support will drasticallyincrease the task force’s ability to maintain a stronghold, espe-cially in preparation for the usual summer influx of insurgents.“The construction support that the Seabees are providing is

paramount in making the transition possible,” said an Army ser-geant first class attached to the SOTF.

The Naval Construction Training Cen-ter (NCTC) at Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty, Port Hueneme, played host to fivelocal students fromChannel Islands HighSchool in collaboration with the Califor-nia Youth Authority.These students were given a once-in-a-

lifetime opportunity to attend the 11-week ConstructionMechanic “A”Schoolcourse alongside U.S. Navy Seabees.“This is an amazing chance to learn all

of the ins and outs of becoming an au-tomatic mechanic,” explained ManuelMercado, a senior at Channel IslandsHigh School.Mercado is a first-generation American

who plans to attend Oxnard College tostudy automotive design.“I liked the laboratories and training

aids that we used throughout the school.They are realistic and I don’t think Icould have gotten this level of education

anywhere else,” stated Arturo Santiago,a senior from Channel Islands High.Santiago aspires to join the U.S. AirForce upon graduation from highschool.Chief Construction Mechanic Jeff

Bright, Alfa Company chief for the “A”School, is very supportive of the pro-gram.“We are expecting more high school

students in the next few weeks,” he said.“The best part is that the program iscompletely tuition free for the studentsand school. Prospective students arescreened for eligibility. Once they havebeen cleared, they are like regular stu-dents without the uniform.”The NCTC is committed not just to

the future of the Naval ConstructionForce, but also the education of localyouth.“Programs like this continue to bol-

ster Navy and community relations, andwe look forward to the continued part-nership,” Bright said.

Schools confirmed for Education Options Fairmoved to Oxnard from Bakersfield fouryears ago. But as the years passed, thesituation changed, and she had to searchfor new schools for her daughter, Made-line, now 7 and in second grade, and herson, Alex, now 12 and in sixth grade.Ramirez startedwithMonica James, the

school liaison officer for NBVC and theperson who is coordinating the EducationOptions Fair.At Ramirez’ request, James provided

test scores and other information aboutschools in the area. Then Ramirez hit theInternet — and the pavement.“My husband and I looked at private

schools, public schools and charterschools,” she said. “We looked at play-grounds, bell schedules, lunch programsand after-school programs.”Ramirez reasons that with her children

spending so many hours of their day atschool, it’s worth her time researching theenvironment they’ll be in.Her son’s diagnosis of attention deficit

hyperactive disorder made her search waseven more important.It took a year, but she finally found a

school that met her children’s needs.

“It’s not a traditional, classroom-typelearning environment,”Ramirez explained.“It’s a lot of project-based learning, anda lot of work outside the classroom. Iknowmy children are physically engaged,and that works best for my kids.”For the rest of the family, however, this

school means a lot of time and effort.First of all, it’s a commute. It’s in Thou-

sand Oaks, so Ramirez takes turns withher husband and her mother driving thekids to and from school.In addition, the school requires 2.5 vol-

unteer hours each week from parents.“I’m glad there are policies like this,”

Ramirez says. “As a parent, I want to beengaged inmy children’s learning environ-ment. I think parent volunteers are a hugebenefit for the kids — and the parents aswell.”Being in the classroom also brings down

any walls between teacher and parent,Ramirez says.“Some parents feel there are limits, but

there aren’t,” she said. “You are yourchild’s biggest advocate. You need to com-municate with the teacher, and teachersare open to it. It’s just that so many par-ents aren’t aware of that.”Ramirez noted that it was hard enough

for her, as a civilian, to shop for her child’sschool. It’s even tougher for a militaryfamily, she noted.“There are definitely some added chal-

lenges when a military family is lookingfor a school,” she said.And then, when the familymoves, those

challenges start all over again.“But now they can take the information

with them,” Ramirez said. “You can say,

‘California had this option. Now I’min Virginia, so what do you have?’”The key, she said, is to do the home-

work.“It’s important for schools to under-

stand the challenges military childrenand families face,” she said. “You wantto make sure their needs are beingmet.”

14 Navy boxers battle it out in Navy Box-Off at Warfield Gym; 8 move on to this month’s championships


Seventh- and eighth-graders from an Oxnard junior high school got an encour-aging punch in the arm on Friday, Jan. 28, when 14 Navy boxers visited their school and told them the world was theirs for the taking.

“You can do everything you want to do,” one boxer told them.

“Believe in yourself and the world will open up brighter than you’ll ever know,” said another.

They also got a serious kick in the rear.

“When you’re in your old age, do you want to be saying, ‘I shoulda, coulda, woulda?’” one boxer asked them.

“Stay in school,” implored another. “Stay focused.”

On the day before their big Navy Box-Off at Naval Base Ventura County — an event to determine which of them would go on to the Armed Forces Boxing Cham-pionships later this month — 14 boxers took a couple of hours off from training to visit with students from E.O. Green Junior High School.

All the students they met with are in AVID — Advancement Via Individual Determination. These youngsters are de-termined to go to college, and in most cases, they would be the first in their fam-ilies to do so.

“Hearing your experiences and your stories — hearing why they should con-tinue working hard — will give them some-thing positive,” the principal, Dr. Carlos Dominguez, explained to the boxers before their presentation.

Each boxer told a quick story, finding a hook at least one student could latch onto.

Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Antonel Cruz-Padilla talked about growing up in Puerto Rico. He learned English as a sec-ond language and today helps eye doctors in the Navy. He’s worked in submarines and in the field.

“Right now I feel there’s nothing I can’t do,” he said. “I hope my story inspires

you. We’re no different than you guys.”Aviation Machinist’s Mate 3rd Class

Carlos Moore told of growing up in foster homes, of going down the wrong path and not thinking about school.

“How old are you guys?” he asked. “Thirteen? Fourteen? When I was your

age, I was not into school.”Boxing turned his life around, he said,

giving him a dedication and a work ethic he’d never experienced. Today, he wishes he’d gotten good grades, wishes he’d gone to college.

“Finish your homework,” he urged. “Listen to your parents. Listen to your teachers.”

Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Luis Limon said that when he was 15, he “did some-thing pretty bad” and his mom sent him to pick peaches for the summer.

The kids groaned; some chuckled.“I learned the hard way,” he said with

a smile.Then he got serious again — and so did

the kids.“I have two brothers,” he said. “One

served 10 years in the state pen, and one did six. Now they’re both convicted felons. They regret what they did, but it’s too late.”

The bottom line, the boxers agreed, is to believe in yourself and to believe in your future.

“You’re not inferior to anyone,” said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Fuel 2nd Class Donnell Davis. “You can do anything you want. You are all powerful beyond mea-sure.”

14 Navy boxers battle it out in Navy Box-Off at Warfield Gym; 8 move on to this month’s championships

To encouraging shouts of “Use your footwork!” and “One-two-three! One-two-three!” 14 boxers trying to make the Navy boxing team battled it out during the All-Navy Box-Off on Saturday, Jan. 29, at the Warfield Gym, Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty (NBVC), Port Hueneme.

About 500 people attended the event, which determined which boxers who fought that night will go on to compete against Army, Air Force and Marine box-ers in the Armed Forces Boxing Champi-onships, scheduled for Feb. 14-19 at Lack-land Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.

Eight of the boxers — seven men and one woman —made the Navy team.

Among those watching were Capt. Jim McHugh, commanding officer, NBVC.

“This is a great turnout,” McHugh said. “They’re good fights, evenly matched. This is really good for morale — it’s great to have something like this on base.”

There were 16 fights on the card, four of them featuring boxers who were not vying for a spot on the team.

Two of the fights brought the crowd to its feet. The ninth bout featured Oscar Perez of the NBVC Boxing Club fighting Juan Ginzales of UCLA, and the seventh featured Master-at-Arms Seaman Rhon-da McGee of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash., fighting Builder Construc-tionman Crystal Renfroe of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5. The vocal crowd gave both Perez and Renfroe substantial hometown advantage; both won.

McGee will proceed to the Armed Forc-es Championships — the only woman representing the Navy.

The men moving on are:• Ship’s Serviceman Keston Williams of

USS Laboon (DDG 58), under 132 pounds.

• Culinary Specialist Seaman Julio Lo-pez of USS Enterprise (CVN 65), under 141 pounds.

• Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Aircraft Handling Seaman Troy Browning of USS

Any Pittsburgh Steeler trying to callplays in Lambeau Field or a New YorkYankee at the plate in Fenway Park knowsabout home-field advantage.And now Navy boxer Rhonda McGee

does too.Her lesson came in the seventh bout on

the card for the Jan. 29 All-Navy Box-Offat Naval Base Ventura County.McGee, a master-at-arms seaman from

NavalAir Station,Whidbey Island,Wash.,was the only woman trying for the Navyboxing team that will fight in the ArmedForces Boxing Championships later thismonth. Organizers looked for a localwoman fighter for McGee to box andfound one right on base: Builder Con-structionman Crystal Renfroe of NavalMobile Construction Battalion (NMCB)5.When Renfroe showed up at Warfield

Gym for the box-off, a good chunk of thatbattalion came with her. The crowd wentwild when she entered the ring.“I definitely had the home-field advan-

tage,” Renfroe said. “The support wasthere, and I could feel it throughout theentire match.”Each bout in the box-off was made up

of three 2-minute rounds, but this boutnever made it to that point.Twice, McGee was stunned to such a

degree that the referee did an 8-secondcount. When it happened a third time inthe second round, the referee ended thefight, as per amateur boxing rules, and theaudience, which had never quieted down,stood up and cheered even louder.“The crowd really helped,” Renfroe

said.McGee had come out fighting hard in

the first round, and Renfroe took it slow,assessing her opponent.“I usually do that,” she explained. “I

use the first round to see if they’re a south-paw or right-handed, if their hand speedis slow or quick, if they hit hard or soft,how aggressive they are, whether they’reconfident or nervous and scared.”In this case, she saw a fighter that was

aggressive — so much so that Renfroeknew she couldn’t last.“I knew from previous boxing experi-

ence that she’d eventually get tired,”Ren-froe said. “I told myself to be patient, toset my own pace, to keep my hands up.”

Sure enough, McGee slowed down inthe second round, and Renfroe went towork.“I landed a couple of punches that re-

ally dazed her and caught her off guard,”Renfroe said. “She was winded.”Renfroe’s victory kicks off a busy sea-

son. In March, she’ll compete in the Cal-ifornia Southern District Golden Glovestournament and theU.S. Amateur BoxingDistrict championships in Los Angeles.She placed second in both events lastyear.InMay, she’ll be in the Police Activities

League state tournament, and she’s look-

ing ahead to the U.S. Amateur BoxingNationals in June.Her real focus, however, is on the 2012

Summer Olympics, when women’s boxingbecomes an Olympic sport for the firsttime. To qualify for the London games,she needs 10 fights in her career; the box-off was her sixth.“And if I don’t make it,” she says,

“there’s always 2016.”Renfroe, who’ll turn 24 on Valentine’s

Day, had about a month to prepare forthe box-off. She had recently returnedfromAfghanistan with the rest of her bat-talion, so she hit the gym hard with hercoach,GeorgeMeier, of theOxnard PoliceActivities League Boxing Club. RockyGarza, the head coach there, was theNavy’s boxing team coach a few yearsback.A 125-pound fighter, Renfroe had to

lose weight to box McGee in the 118-pound weight class.It wasMeier who introduced her to box-

ing two years ago. Renfroe was on theNMCB 5 fire team, and Meier, who hassince retired from the Navy, was the teamleader. He knew she had a long athletichistory growing up in Bryan, Texas, whereshe played softball and basketball andwasa wide receiver and cornerback on thefootball team.“He’d also see my determination at

morning PT,” Renfroe said. “So it was anatural when he asked me about box-ing.”She credits her command with giving

her the time she needs to practice.“They’ve given me a lot of support,”

she said.And it was there in full force at theNavy

Box-Off.

NORFOLK, Va. — Navy leaders areexpressing alarm at recent statistics thatshow that Sailors’ use of “Spice” andsimilar so-called designer drugs rose in thelast quarter of 2010.Spice and similar products are essen-

tially an herbal, synthetic form of mari-juana,mimicking the chemical compoundsfound in the drug. These products arebanned for Navy personnel.“The number of incidents of designer

drug usage is rising at an alarming rate inour Navy. In the last four months alone,79 of our Fleet Forces Sailors and 72 Pa-cific Fleet Sailors have been accused ofusing or possession of the drug. That’s151 Sailors that if found guilty will beprocessed for administrative separationfrom our Navy,” said Adm. John C. Har-vey, commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Com-mand.Harvey believes it’s everyone’s respon-

sibility to deal with what could be a dan-gerous trend.“I need each and every one of our Sail-

ors looking out for each other,” Harvey

explained. “Talk to your shipmates aboutSpice and make sure they understand thedangers and serious consequences involvedwith its use.”In response to the rising concerns of the

military over Spice and similar products,the Armed Forces Disciplinary ControlBoard of Southeastern Virginia andNortheastern North Carolina placed 10

businesses in Hampton Roads off-limitsto service members in November.Since the release of Naval Administra-

tive Message (NAVADMIN) 108/10 inMarch 2010, which re-emphasized theNavy’s drug policy, theU.S.Navy has beenproactively campaigning to reduce thenumber of incidents related to the use ofsynthetic marijuana.“Our Navy has zero tolerance for drug

use. If you are considering using Spice ora similar drug, I strongly urge you to re-consider,”Harvey said. “If you are caughtusing it, even once, you will be processedfor separation from the Navy. There is nosecond chance.”Navy personnel determined to be unlaw-

fully using, possessing, promoting, manu-facturing or distributing drugs and/ordrug abuse paraphernalia shall be disci-plined, as appropriate and processed foradministrative separation, according toNavy regulations.In the Navy, drug abuse includes the

wrongful use, possession, manufacture ordistribution of a controlled substance.Drug abuse also includes the unlawful useof controlled substance analogs (designer

drugs), natural substances (e.g., fungi,excretions), chemicals (e.g., chemicalswrongfully used as inhalants), propellantsand/or prescribed or over-the-counterdrugs or pharmaceutical compounds withthe intent to induce intoxication, excite-ment or stupefaction of the central ner-vous system. Violators will subject topunitive action under the Uniform Codeof Military Justice and/or adverse admin-istrative action.Examples of other substances, the

wrongful use of which constitutes drugabuse, includes, but is not limited to thefollowing:• Products that contain synthetic can-

nabinoid compounds, such as Spice, Ge-nie, Blaze, Dream, Ex-Ses, Spark, Fusion,Dark Knight, Yukatan Fire and K2.• Natural substances such as Salvia di-

vinorum and mushrooms.• Common items abused by inhaling or

huffing, such asDust-Off, glue, paint thin-ner and gasoline.• Over-the-counter products such as

Robitussin and Coricidin HBP.• Prescriptionmedications such as Oxy-

codone, Vicodin, Adderal and Valium.

Steep increase in use of designer drugs worries NavyOur Navy has zerotolerance for drug use.If you are consideringusing Spice or asimilar drug, Istrongly urge you toreconsider.

The winning of the Ney Award is a first for the PortHueneme galley, which serves 1,500 meals daily.“Everyone was excited,” said Lt. (j.g.) James Jones,

the food service officer for NBVC who oversees PointMugu and San Nicolas Island galleys in addition toPort Hueneme. “All the culinary specialists workedreally hard for this honor all year long, with self-helpprojects, their culinary skills and record manage-ment.”The galley and its staff of 32 military personnel and

42 civilians went through a series of rigorous inspec-tions during the award process, including a visit by ateam of judges last November.The judges dined on pork chops with mushroom

gravy, prepared by the culinary specialists.All galleys in the competition were directed to pre-

pare the same menu for the judging, but Jones said atthe time that each galley could add a special touch.“We have a recipe card, but there’s plenty of room

for creativity,” he said.The Ney Award will be presented during the Inter-

national Food Service Executives Association Confer-ence on Saturday, April 2, in Schaumburg, Ill.The Secretary of the Navy and the International

Food Service Executives Association established theCapt. Edward F. Ney Memorial Awards Program in1958.

Help when you need it.The Fleet & FamilySupport Center

A job fair is probably the most impor-tant event in the life of a job seeker.When you consider that every employ-

er who comes to a job fair is there for onereason— to hire people — you’d be hardpressed to find a reason not to be there.There will be jobs (lots of them) just wait-ing for the right person to come along.Why not you?Here are five reasons why you need to

be at the Feb. 17 job fair at Naval BaseVentura County, Port Hueneme:• You get to meet a potential future

employer face to face. What a great op-portunity tomake yourself standout fromthe other applicants.

• You can listen to conversations be-tween employers and other job seekers so

you can learn what employers are lookingfor.• You can hand your resume to an em-

ployer that you know is hiring. Thatdoesn’t always happen with on-line sub-missions.• It’s an opportunity to network, and

that is how the overwhelming majority ofjob seekers have become employees. Ifnetworking scares you, consider using thejob fair as your personal training programand watch how others do it. Even if youcome to the fair and don’t say two wordsto anyone, that’s OK because you willlearn.• And the biggest reason to be at the

job fair: because you need a job and find-ing one doesn’t get any easier than this.So dust off your resume, grab a pen and

paper, and be good to yourself — be atthe fair!The job fair runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

in the Fleet and Family Service Center,NBVC Port Hueneme, and is open to allactive duty, spouses, reservists, retirees,Defense Department employees, contractemployees and anyone who has installa-tion access.

tional University. The first two are public,state-run non-profit schools, and Nation-al University is a private non-profitschool.Also attending the job fair are two dis-

tance-learning schools from outside thearea: the University of MarylandUniver-sity College and Trident University Inter-national. They are private schools that actas non-profits for anyone attached toNBVC, including military personnel andtheir family members and civilians andcontractors.“Between all of these schools, there is

a wide range of degree programs avail-able,” explained Bryan Burdick, NavyCollege director. “The reason we combinethem with the Job Fair is that many jobsavailable require certain degrees, and be-tween these seven schools, they will meetmost, if not all, of the job positions thatrequire a degree.“This is also the main reason and what

we hope to achieve by joining the educa-tion portion with the job portion of thefair.”Burdick said that depending on deploy-

ment schedules, anywhere from 500 to1,000 Sailors stationed at NBVC and itstenant commands are enrolled in collegecourses at any one time.

employees, customers and clients to be-come financially stable through saving,debt reduction and wealth-building overtime.Bottom line: It’s time to commit to

building wealth and not debt.TheMilitary Saves campaign is exactly

that – a pledge to start building wealth.Every consumer has to start somewhereand that is with a single pledge. Once youmake the pledge, then it’s up to you tofollow through and actually start savingand investing in your long-term future.In order to establish true financial bal-

ance, we can’t afford to focus solely on ourday-to-day expenses. We need to acceptthe fact it’s time to commit to the future
