Cracking down on gasoline salesQuestion: I am a civilian contractor at Point Mugu and

have worked here for more than 20 years. I was out of gasand needed to pick up my daughter. I went to the ExchangeGas Station and asked to pump $5 worth of gas so I couldmake it to the nearest station in Oxnard. I was refused. I hada retiree come to the station to pump and pay for $5 in gasand was still refused. I decided to wait until 7:30 p.m. whenthe gas station closes so I could pump $5 worth of gas andnot get stuck on the way to the nearest gas station.I do not see why it is a crime to allow a person to pump

$5 worth of gas, and I don’t understand why the gas stationisn’t open to civilians anyway since the most we would saveis about 5 cents a gallon.

Answer: Thank you for your candid question. I wassurprised to find that you are not alone in your experienceswith the Navy Exchange Gas Station. For this reason, I amaddressing the issue in this column.The gas pumps are owned and operated by the Navy

Exchange. The list of authorized patrons is outlined inDoDINST 1330.21. Civilian employees are not authorizedpatrons.DoDINST 1330.21 also allows exchange employees to

sell small quantities of gasoline to persons “stranded on an

installation.” In the past, we allowed individuals to purchase$5 worth of gasoline when they were empty, but I stoppedthis practice when it became obvious a number of individu-als were repeatedly utilizing the pumps and abusing thesystem.Asking a retiree to purchase fuel for you, an unauthor-

ized person, is not only unethical but places the authorizedpatron in jeopardy of losing his privileges. Breaking therules by waiting until after the exchange was closed to useyour credit card to purchase fuel is not acceptable. Justbecause you disagree with policies or laws does not justifytaking matters into your own hands. There were other op-tions available to you, including planning ahead and askinga colleague or friend to drive you to a local gas station.Because you are not alone in your actions, I have di-

rected the publication of a new policy in which I intend totake action against unauthorized patrons using the gasolinepumps.The first offense will result in a warning letter, with a

copy to your command.The second incident will result in loss of base driving

privileges for three months.Any further incidents will result in a minimum of one year

loss of base driving privileges.

There are approximately 165,000 assis-tant coaches in California’s high schools,and it’s now official that the best one inthe state works for Naval Base VenturaCounty.Fred Morgan, athletic director for the

base, has been named the 2011 AssistantCoach of the Year by the CaliforniaCoaches Association for his work as avolunteer assistant track and field coachat Ventura High School and for volunteercoaching in several other sports in Ven-tura County. His plaque will be awardedon Saturday, June 11, in Sacramento.“The head coach of a sport has a 1 in

1,200 chance of being the head coach ofthe year,” said longtime local coach Ken

Reeves. “Assuming there are at least sixassistants per sport – just think of footballand realize how many assistant coachesthey have for freshmen, junior varsity andvarsity level – there is a 1 in 165,000 chanceof being selected as the assistant coach of

the year, all things being equal. Obvi-ously, Fred has turned the tables, and byhis excellent work ethic, communicationskills and methods, he eventually loweredthe odds to 1 in 1.”

It would be great if students could arrivehome from school with assignments theycan do independently for homework.Many times, however, parents find them-selves taking on the role of a teacher whentrying to help their children with home-work.Although the interaction between par-

ent and child is important, these eveninghomework rituals can sometimes becomefrustrating for both parent and child.So that children can receive the help they

need, the Department of Defense and Tu-tor.com partnered in 2010. This wonder-ful military family benefit is only availableon a fee basis for non-military families.The student and tutor will work in an on-line classroom, which runs right in the webbrowser window. Users can chat, draw ona two-way whiteboard or upload a docu-ment to work on together with the tutor.Although a valuable resource, logging

on to Tutor.com was somewhat compli-cated. It required users to initially log ontoNavyKnowledge Online (NKO) beforeaccessing the Tutor.com website. Users’concerns were heard, and changes weremade.

Users can now access the service atwww.tutor.com/military. Click on thebranch of service affiliation (Army, Navy,Air Force, USMC) to see instructions forhow to get access. Now, instead of authen-ticating through the NKO website, userscan certify their eligibility and create anaccount directly from the Tutor.comweb-site. This change has the potential to getusers the help they need even more quick-ly.There is also a new demo video of the

service at www.tutor.com/military. Click

the “watch a video” link.Since it has become fairly common for

individuals to access services via mobileapps, Tutor.comhas also addedTutor.comTo Go. Students can get the downloadandwatch a “how it works”video at www.tutor.com/togo. Now users with an ac-count can log in right from their mobiledevice. They can even use the device’s cam-era to take a picture of a chalkboard orpaper-based assignment, put it in a vir-tual locker and use it in session with atutor. The locker is available by virtue ofthe username and password used to login,so users with an account to use Tutor.comcan have access to the materials in theirlocker, whether they’re connecting with aTutor.com tutor from the mobile deviceor any computer.Even better is that usage of Tutor.com

does not stop with elementary, middle orhigh school students. Even college stu-dents can access Tutor.com services. Tutor.com can act as a no-fee proofreader ofcollege papers or a late night statistics tu-tor. Tutors cover all math, science, socialstudies and English subjects fromK-12 tothe introductory college level. They’ll help

with homework, studying for standardizedtests or writing a paper — whatever thestudent is working on.Whether the user is an active duty ser-

vice member or a dependent, Tutor.comis a valuable educational resource. It isavailable 24 hours a day and closed onlyon New Year’s Day, Independence Day,Thanksgiving and Christmas.For questions regarding Tutor.com,

One of the funny stories heard at a localhardware store was about a Sailor whojust returned from a long deployment.This Sailor saw himself as a pretty gooddo-it-yourself handyman. Upon his re-turn, his wife gave him the usual “honeydo” list around the house. When one ofthe tasks involved some serious rewiringand carpentry work within the walls ofhis living room, his wife suggested theycall in a contractor to do that particularjob.Instead of listening to his wife, and let-

ting his ego get in the way of the situation,he began this complicated and potential-ly dangerous job himself. After three fullweekends, many bruised knuckles and afew electric shocks to his body, he finallydecided to call in a professional to finishthe job. After the contractor came andfinished the project, their total cost forparts and labor was over $1,200. The rea-son the fee was so high was because the

contractor had to first undo the damageto the electrical system along with thecarpentry work for the room.What is the humorous punch line to this

story? If this man had called in the con-tractor earlier, the total cost would havebeen around $300.Personal relationships andmental health

are not any different. Speaking as a profes-sional counselor, there are many wonder-ful self-help books, instructive DVDs andsuch out there. However, there are timeswhen yourmarriage or personal problemswill not be solved by reading a book orwatching a DVD. A smart person knowshis or her limitations on doing somethinghimself, versus calling in a professionalfor assistance.There are many wonderful chaplains,

counselors and professionals alike who arevery good in what they do for people whocome for help. Typically, everyone thinkstheir problems are unique. Not true. Re-member, there are no new problems underthe sun.By calling and making an appointment

with a professional, you may move morequickly towards recovery and healingagain.Don’t turn a $300 problem into a much

bigger one! God bless you all.

There are times when it’s best to call in a professional

So many eggs, so much time.It’s a recipe for success when it comes

to an Easter egg hunt, and the families ofAir Test and Evaluation Squadron 30(VX-30) ended up with two dozen happychildren thanks to 300 eggs and hard-working volunteers at the Picnic Pavilion,Naval Base Ventura County, PointMugu.“We love doing this,” said Operations

Specialist 1st Class Iesha Aldridge, whoorganized the April 21 event with Opera-tions Specialist 1st Class (SW/AW) AishaJenkins. “We’re a very family-orientedcommand. We exchange presents everyChristmas, and we wanted to do a specialevent in the Spring as well. We figuredEaster was a perfect time.”

So, you are retiring from the military.Are you ready? Here are five tips that canhelp you prepare:• Start early. Attend Transition Assis-

tance Program (TAP) in your area. Planto attend at least once, andmore than onceis advisable if time and schedule permits.Make a retirement checklist and timelineto help keep you on track and reducestress. TAP can help identify the steps youneed to follow before retirement.• Create a retirement binder. This makes

it possible to keep all the important doc-uments in one location and organized.Include all your evaluations, resumes andjob hunting notes in the binder. This willhelp make your transition to civilian lifesmoother.• Get your finances in order. Review

your credit report, reduce debt and takecontrol of your finances while on activeduty. This is absolutely critical. The less

debt you have, the more enjoyable yourretirement will be. Remember, your pay-check will be cut in half, so make sure youare prepared.• Know your benefits. Make sure you

are aware of all your benefits and take fulladvantage of them: You earned them!Compare options for life insurance, dental,health care, legal services, survivor benefitsplan, G.I. Bill, etc. It’s important to un-derstand every benefit available becauseit impacts you and your family. Keep inmind some of these benefits come at aprice in retirement, so plan accordingly.• Network, network, network. Deter-

mine what the next phase in your life willbe. Will you go back to school to finish acollege degree or go straight into anotherjob? Talk to those who have recently re-tired and find out what worked and didn’twork for them.How can theNavy-Marine CorpsRelief

Society (NMCRS) help you be ready toretire? NMCRS can help with pre- and

post-retirement spending plans and otheressential needs. Once retired from activeduty, you are still eligible for NMCRSservices if you find yourself in need. Toschedule an appointment, call 982-4409.Retirement from the military is a time

of celebration. Take some “you” time, patyourself on the back for a job well doneand enjoy your new life.Happy retirement, and thanks for your

service!

(Editor’s note: This is the third in a se-ries following a high schooler’s experienceat A School.)Imagine for amoment that you’ve spent

the last several years teaching young adultsthe ins and outs of vehicles – diesel en-gines, steering mechanisms, suspensionsystems.Then one day, a 17-year-old walks into

your classroom, eager to learn.Do you do anything differently?“Nothing at all,” said Tech Sgt. Gon-

zalo Amezcua, who teaches the chassisphase in ConstructionMechanicA Schoolat the Naval Construction Training Cen-ter, Naval Base Ventura County, Port

Hueneme. “We treat everybody the same,civilian or military. To teach them differ-ently would be hurting them.”And so AndrewGeer, a junior at Chan-

nel Islands High School, finds himselfgoing through the same ups and downsof classroom life as the 24 Navy and AirForce students fresh out of boot camp.For him, the ups are the days of hands-

on work with vehicle parts.“Usually, I can just look at it and figure

out how it works,” he said.The downs are the tests.“I’m getting better,”he said. “But they’re

tough.”Andrew is one of several teenagers who

have gone through this latest version of aprogram that allows standout automotivestudents in theOxnardUnionHigh SchoolDistrict to enroll in the 11-week A school.The students are on base from 7 a.m. to3:30 p.m. every day and earn high schoolcredits while working with equipment thatfar exceeds what’s available in the localhigh school auto shop classes. They’re alsoexpected to complete English, math, phys-ical education and other requirements athome through independent study.

The program had been tried severalyears before and was revived just lastyear.With only three weeks of the 11-week

curriculum left, Andrew has learned aboutthe various parts of vehicles used in con-struction. He’s learned about gas engines,diesel engines, ignition systems, fuel sys-tems, wheels and tires and hydraulics.He’ll end the series with transmissions

and brakes.But along with all the automotive stud-

ies, he’s learned about the differences be-tween what’s expected in the military andreal life and what’s expected in highschool.“You don’t show up here in baggy pants

with a bad attitude,”Amezcua said. “Thatwon’t fly. You have to have discipline, andthat’s a lesson people have to learn wheth-er they’re going into the military or intothe civilian workforce.”As a chassis instructor, Amezcua meets

the students about halfway through thecurriculum. Six weeks into the program,Andrew had grown quiet.“I had to break him out of his shell,”

Amezcua said. “I think being surroundedbymilitary members all day had clammedhim up. He’s only in high school. He’sshy.”This particular class also has 24 other

students.“That’s way too big,” said Amezcua. “I

like 15 or even 10 a lot better. It’s easierto see a student’s strengths and weak-nesses, and it’s easier to get to knowthem.”Amezcua started conversations with

Andrew, finding out more about him andwhat he hoped to gain from the class.By the time Tech Sgt. Marquia Cantu

got him the following week, things weredifferent.

“He gets involved,” Cantu said of An-drew. “He’s just like every other student.Only the clothing sets him apart.”Cantu said that while she hasn’t changed

her teaching style or the subject matter,she has changed the examples she gives inclass.“I just can’t relate everything to boot

camp,” she said.Instructor Paul Ortegal, who teaches

steering and suspension, agreed that An-drew had gained confidence midwaythrough the program.“He asks a lot of questions and is re-

ally receptive to learning,” he said. “Hejumps in. He’s all about understandingwhat everything does.“He fits right in.”Chief Construction Mechanic Jerry

Pearse, the chassis phase director ofNCTC, sees advantages to both sides withthis program.“It keeps us in tune with the civilian

population,” he said. “And they see a dif-ferent side of the military they’d probablynever see otherwise. What everyone seesis based on TV or movies— the yelling inyour face. They don’t see the technicalaspects these kids are learning.”

The Great White Fleet that PresidentTeddy Roosevelt was so proud of morethan a century ago is changing colors.Today, it’s going green.An assistant secretary of the Navy and

a rear admiral who heads up the Navy’ssupply centers gave an update on theNavy’s efforts to save energy and findalternative fuel sources during the fourthannual Military, Business and Commu-nity Expo, held April 21 in Camarillo.More than 400 people attended the

expo, which featured several displaysfromNaval BaseVenturaCounty (NBVC)commands and talks by NBVC person-nel, including the director of human re-sources who offered tips on how to get ajob on base, and Capt. JimMcHugh, thebase commanding officer, who discussedthe various awards the base has receivedfor energy, water and environmental con-servation.The expo’s keynote speakers were Jack-

alyne Pfannenstiel, the assistant secretaryof the Navy for energy, installations andenvironment; andRear Adm.MarkHein-rich, commander of the Navy’s Fleet andIndustrial Supply Centers.Pfannenstiel briefed the audience on

the Navy’s progress toward meeting sev-eral energy goals set by Navy SecretaryRay Mabus, among them that by 2020,50 percent of the Navy’s total energyconsumption will come from alternativesources, and that by 2015, the Navy willreduce petroleum use in vehicles by 50percent.“Do you really think you’re going to

meet them?” one person in the audienceasked.“Yes, I see the path,” Pfannenstiel re-

sponded.She described a three-pronged ap-

proach involving more energy-efficientequipment, use of renewable energysources and changing people’s behav-ior.“Behavior is the toughest piece of that

puzzle,” she said. “It’s one thing to changeout equipment, but it’s another to geteveryone on board with a plan.”Installing meters is a first step, she said.

Meters on buildings, piers and hangars

will provide a valuable set of informa-tion.“That will give us insight into how we

actually use energy,” she said.The Navy is tapping into alternative

energy sources: geothermal fields at Chi-na Lake, solar power at NBVC and windturbines at San Nicolas Island.“We need to look at every one of our

bases for a new supply of energy,” Pfan-nenstiel said. “We need to use solar pow-er where it makes sense, and we need touse wind power where it makes sense.”These ideas aren’t limited to bases, she

added.“In Afghanistan, we’re using portable

solar panels for generating power,” shesaid.Rising gas prices have brought a new

sense of urgency to finding a substitutefor petroleum, but there are some highhurdles, she said, including finding fuelsthat can be produced in sufficient quan-tities, that can produce enough energyand that are affordable.“They’re out there,” she said, adding

that the military is working with the De-partments of Energy andAgriculture andwith private industry to come up withalternative fuels.Currently, the federal government ac-

counts for 2 percent of U.S. petroleumconsumption, and the military uses 93percent of that. The Navy uses 34 percentof that amount, the Air Force 57 percentand the Army 9 percent.Getting that fuel — whatever it is — to

where the Navy needs it is Heinrich’sjob.“Petroleum supplies are always a crit-

ical warfighting component,” he said.“You think we’re dependent on petro-leum? Absolutely.”However, we’re not as dependent as we

used to be, he said.“In 1999, theUSSConstellation burned

264 gallons of diesel per second,” Hein-rich said. “That’s why we have nuclear-powered aircraft carriers now.”And he’s confident we’ll be even less

dependent in the future.“Little by little, we’re getting there,” he

said. “We remain steady and synchro-nized on the message.”The Navy is looking closely at cameli-

na seed, part of the mustard family, forjet fuel and at a diesel that’s algae-based.Plans call for demonstrating both fuelsat the 2012 Rim of the Pacific Exercise.Both Pfannenstiel and Heinrich em-

phasized the importance of finding a fuelthat’s a “drop-in replacement.”The Navydoesn’t want to change out equipment toaccommodate something new.The Navy also doesn’t want to invest

in a fuel that will do more environmental

damage than what’s happening today.Nor does it want to exchange one for-

eign import for another.“If we choose to import an alternative

fuel, have we really reduced our relianceon foreign imports?”Heinrich asked. “Ifwe can produce the fuel in the UnitedStates and use it in the United States, wewill have reduced our dependency.”Bottom line, he said: “We’ll be in the

petroleum business for a very longtime.”Bill Buratto, president of the Ventura

County Economic Development Asso-ciation, one of the organizations hostingthe event, said the two keynote speakersset the tone for the expo.“We wanted to hear what the Navy was

doing to develop sustainable opportuni-ties, and that’s exactly what happened,”he said.Other presentations included an update

by energy officials at NBVC on what thebase itself is doing to become more en-ergy efficient, including the installationof meters, energy-efficient lighting, solarpanels and wind turbines; tips on becom-ing a Navy contractor; and a talk byNBVC Human Resources Director EdVicuna on how to get a job on base.A free job fair was held in conjunction

with the expo.Other event sponsors were TRIAD, the

Channel Islands and Santa Barbara NavyLeagues and the Regional Defense Part-nership for the 21st Century.

career at Port Hueneme, where he attend-ed A school, then returned several times,first as an instructor at the Naval Con-struction Training Center, thenwithNavalMobile Construction Battalions 40 and4. He was named command master chiefof the 30th NCR three years ago.With the base hostingmore than 80 ten-

ant commands, Cyr said communicationwill be critical in his new assignment.“We need to find a mechanism so we

get more feedback from the tenant com-mands,” Cyr said. “Especially given thecurrent budget constraints, there must bemore communication. I want everyone tofeel connected.”Cyr is taking on the position just as the

Navy is dealing with one of the biggestsocial changes in its history: the abolish-ment of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”“There are always phases of transition,”

Cyr said. “But good leadership and profes-sionalism will carry us through any tran-sition. I’m confident this is no excep-

tion.”Over the course of 27 years, Cyr has

seen a lot of changes in both the Navyand Ventura County.“I think it’s all been for the better,” he

said. “I think there are still more oppor-tunities at both PointMugu andHuenemefor base improvements and use of space,for one thing. But they both have a lot ofthings to offer.“I want to acknowledge and emphasize

the positive aspects of Naval Base Ven-tura County. I want us all to pull togeth-er and support the base and be proud ofit. We can make NBVC the place to askfor when people are asking for orders.”

on July 22 — although for now smallerthan originally anticipated due to fundingconstraints — “will tell a comprehensivehistory of the Seabees and include multi-media activities. There will be quite a bitof stuff we never had in the old facility.”Visitors will step from the grand hall into

a small theater — the seating is woodenshipping crates— to watch a movie aboutSeabees inWorldWar II. Then they’ll headinto rooms detailing Seabee involvementin Korea, Vietnam and Antarctica. Therewill be displays about underwater construc-tion teams and the Naval ExperimentalMannedObservatory submarine (NEMO),

and visitors can watch a slide show cover-ing Seabees’ humanitarian efforts over thepast 20 years. The last section, where aHumvee is on display,will dealwith currentoperations.“Anybody who served will see a bit of

Naval SurfaceWarfare Center (NSWC)Port Hueneme employees completed afive-day assessment of USSMilius’ (DDG69) combat, weapon and underway replen-ishment systems onApril 22 while the shipwas docked at Port Hueneme.During the assessment, NSWC Port

Hueneme engineers and technicians pro-vided expertise and services on many sys-tems of the Arleigh Burke class destroyer,including the MK 41 Vertical LaunchingSystem, AN/SPY-1 Phased Array Radar,MK 99 Fire Control System, Aegis Inte-grated Combat System, OperationalReadiness Test System, TomahawkCruiseMissileGuidance andLaunching Systems,MK 15 Phalanx Close-In Weapons Sys-tem, interior communication switchboards,UnderwayReplenishment Systems, as wellas logistics and technical documenta-tion.In addition, NSWC Port Hueneme en-

gineers and technicians worked with theship’s crew to provide operations andmaintenance training on topics such asTomahawk Strike Network and VerticalLaunching System Deluge.Chief Fire Controlman (SW) Paris

Henry is the officer-in-charge of NSWC

Port Hueneme’s assessment team and saysthat Sailors and engineers working to-gether provide a unique opportunity forthe ship’s crew to see resources the NSWCPort Hueneme team provides to thefleet.“These Sailors are getting first-hand

knowledge of what we do here at PortHueneme,” said Henry. “This is an excel-lent opportunity for our engineers to workwith our fleet Sailors.”Henry also said that the ship assessment

provides a hands-on opportunity for ship-board personnel to have a dialogue withthe engineers who help design the systemsthey are using. Conversely, it provides en-gineers the opportunity to evaluate theirsystems at the deckplate level.“The ship received leading edge support

from the in-service engineering agent, andwe get a chance to see the systems in theirnative environment and talk with the tech-nicians that operate and maintain thosesystems,” stated Henry.He also commented that the ship’s crew

was well prepared.“The engineers and military members

here at NSWC Port Hueneme were high-ly impressed by the ship’s morale and out-standing combat system’s material readi-ness when they arrived here on station,”said Henry.

During the ship assessment, Sailors andNSWC Port Hueneme personnel shareimportant technical, logistics and lessons-learned information, which is vital to thesafety and effectiveness of the ship’s of-fensive and defensive weapons. Servicesprovided byNSWCPortHuenemeperson-nel enable the ship to proceed with moreeffective pre-deployment workups and

ensure that systems are in a state of op-erational readiness.NSWCPortHueneme has been offering

port visit assessments to the fleet since1989. The command not only offers high-ly skilled engineers and technicians, it alsooffers the only government-owned, deep-water harbor between San Diego andPuget Sound.

Morgan has coached at Ventura HighSchool for six years, primarily in discusthrow and shot put. He has also coachedyouth soccer for 14 years, youth basketballand youth volleyball for five years andyouth softball for four. He is a coach forthe local running club, the Ventura Tigres,and he coaches for various youth clubsports.During off-season months, he is a vol-

unteer coach for up to 20 college athletestrying to hone their technical skills.On base since 1992,Morgan has served

as an assistant coach for Navy athletes intrack and field, boxing, soccer, volleyballand basketball. He was instrumental inbringing Navy and U.S. Armed Forcescompetitions to the base – notably theboxing championships and the triathlon.Morgan also began the NBVC YouthSports Program,which features soccer andbasketball, in 2002.Most recently, he coordinated efforts to

make NBVC the home of the WoundedWarrior training camp for the Navy andCoast Guard. The three dozen athleteswho have attended the two training campsatNBVC sinceDecember are dealing withinjuries and illnesses ranging from ampu-tation to cancer.Morgan also oversees several local com-

petitions, such as the Admiral’s Cup tri-athlon held in conjunction with the U.S.Armed Forces Triathlon, the annual surfcontest, Wounded Warrior Half Mara-thon, the annual mud run and the lunch-time 5K runs. He also oversees intramuralleagues, fitness programs, the aquaticsprograms, the liberty program and theseveral gyms on base.

“I have always been a ‘serve others’ sortof person, and it starts with serving myfamily, my country throughwork and thenothers through coaching in the commu-nity and giving back,”Morgan said. “It’sjust onmy heart and a blessing as the rightthing to do. Somewhere along the line I

have gotten pretty good at it.”Between 2006 and 2009, Ventura High

School had nine Channel League cham-pions, nine county champions and fourCalifornia Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section (CIF-SS) championscoached by Morgan. Four athletes at-tended CIF state meets and brought backthree state medals.Morgan has also coached student ath-

letes who set county, meet and high schoolrecords.“All the levels and each team I have

coached had awesome memorable mo-ments,”Morgan replied when asked to listhis most memorable moment in coaching.“So perhaps it was theWoundedWarrioramputee learning how to throw for thefirst time, a T-baller making contact withthe ball, the first service ace, made basket,personal record, first goal, the collegescholarship, records, a championship, goldmedals or team trophies?“Or perhaps it’s the learning and teach-

ing process with all the spaces in betweenthat help to develop positive and produc-tive people.“Collectively I have been very fortunate

to help many teams and individuals overthe past 20 years and that has been a verymemorable journey.”Morgan, 45, was a First Team All-CIF

football and track star in high school andfocused his talent in track and field in col-lege. He went on to the 1991World Trackand Field Championships in Tokyo.“I stopped competing before I peaked

in my events because my family and jobwere much more important to me,” hesaid.He and wife of 22 years, Janeanne, live

in Ventura with their daughter, Alex, asenior at Ventura High who holds thecounty record for discus and shot put.Both Alex and her older sister, Claire,earned full scholarships in track and field.Alex has signed her Letter of Intent to theUniversity of Oklahoma.

CAMPLEATHERNECK,Afghanistan– Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-tion Battalion (NMCB) 3 recently beganreplacing the outdoor workout facility onCamp Krutke, the Seabee Camp withinCamp Leatherneck.The current outdoor gymwill be demol-

ished once the new facility is complete,

making way for the new and improvedoutdoor gym. The facility will house aseries of pullup bars, box jumps, dip barsand climbing ropes. In addition to the newoutdoor facility, a tent will be erected foruse as a group exercise studio.“There are a lot of people here who love

the idea of better facilities to stay in shapeand keep themselves focused for the lastfew months of deployment,” said Steel-worker 1st Class (SCW) Jerrod Johnson.“Working out allows them a way to blow

off steam and relieve some of thestress.”Information Systems Technician 2nd

Class (SCW) Laydel Gazo, a commandfitness leader for NMCB 3, pointed outthat physical readiness tests (PRTs) aren’tadministered on contingency deployments,yet physical fitness remains crucial.“The tent is a wonderful addition for

those who would like a change of pace,”he said.Another added benefit of physical fit-

ness is stress relief, and for many of us,regular exercise is the best stress reliever.Overall, the renovations to the camp’s

fitness facilities are quality of life improve-ments that benefit not only members ofNMCB 3, but all future Seabees andMa-rines who deploy to Camp Leatherneck.NMCB 3 provides construction, engi-

neering and security services in supportof national strategy, naval power projec-tion, humanitarian assistance and contin-gency operations.

Personnel and equipment fromNaval Base Ventura County Fed-eral Fire were recently elementsof the Ventura County RegionalHazardous Materials Team insupport of Coastal Trident2011.Coastal Trident is an annual

exercise that is planned and con-ducted by theNaval PostgraduateSchool’s Center for AsymmetricWarfare, in partnership with theOxnard Harbor District, as partof a multi-phased approach toincrease the capabilities of Ox-nard Harbor District and adja-cent local, state and federal re-sponse agencies to respond to alarge-scale disaster at the Port ofHueneme.This year’s Coastal Trident ex-

ercise, which took place onMarch23, involved a simulated plot tosmuggle radiological materialinto the country for use in a

weapon of mass destruction. Thisscenario was developed in orderto support regional response co-operation and achievement of theexercise objectives:• Increase interagency plan-

ning, communication and coor-dination in dealing with hazard-ous materials or radiologicalincident in Ventura County, spe-cific to the Port of Hueneme.• Increase the ability of local

emergency managers and emer-gency responders to safely andeffectively respond to and recov-er from a radiological or otherhazardous materials incident.• Provide an opportunity for

participants to receive specializedtraining in radiological materialsincident management and re-sponse.• Familiarize responders with

the Port of Hueneme facilitiesand the unique issues of conduct-ing operations in the maritimeenvironment.• Exercise the integration of

local, state and federal responseagencies.• Identify future training and

exercise needs of the participatingagencies and the region.These objectives emphasized

the critical dual-use nature of thePort of Hueneme as both a civil-ian and military facility and theneed to collaborate with NBVCin response and recovery opera-tions to protect the operationaland economic viability of thebase, the port and the communi-ties that surround them.During the six-hour exercise,

which took place at two distinctport locations, participating agen-cies assessed intelligence about aradiological threat; exercised de-tection, localization and identifi-cation of live radiological materi-als; exercised victim rescue andpersonnel decontamination pro-cedures and equipment; andsimulated the activation of thePort’s Emergency OperationsCenter to ensure the safety and

security of the port facilities, per-sonnel and the surrounding com-munities against potential terror-ist and hazardous materialsthreats.The Coastal Trident 2011 ex-

ercise involved 150 personnelfrom 40 regional response agen-cies, including the Ventura Coun-ty Fire Department and the Ven-turaCountyRegionalHazardousMaterials Team, California Na-tional Guard 9th Civil SupportTeam, U.S. Department of En-

ergy, U.S. Customs & BorderProtection, Port Hueneme andOxnard police departmentsand the terminal operators andemergency response and man-agement infrastructure of thePort of Hueneme.The Center for Asymmetric

Warfare, or CAW (www.cawnps.org), is a satellite re-search center of the NavalPostgraduate School and atenant of NBVC PointMugu.

The wind tried mightily, but it couldn’t blow away the kids nearly as well as a Tae Kwon Do demonstration, battling robots, or, for 3-year-old Ashlyn Torgesen, color markers.

“She’s really into markers,” Ashlyn’s mom, Aspen, said as her daughter sorted through dozens of colored markers at one of the many craft tables set up at Kids’ Day, held on a windy April 30 at the Pic-nic Pavilion, Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.

Organizers estimated that more than 1,000 people stopped by to let children enjoy the four hours of activities, which ranged from a demonstration of military working dogs to a 1K run to a bubble-making table, a big hit given the wind.

“Kids’ Day is planned to be a day of fun for military children,” said Monica James, NBVC’s school liaison officer and one of the event organizers. “Since April is Month of the Military Child, this is an opportunity for NBVC to recognize the sacrifices of military children by allowing a day for them to play, learn and spend quality time with their parents.”

From toddlers to teenagers, kids took advantage of the opportunity to make a picture frame, pot a plant, design a visor, make a pendant filled with colored sand and decorate — and then eat — a sugar cookie.

“It does seem that everyone is enjoying themselves, so I consider this day a suc-cess,” James said.

A crowd gathered to watch Tony Nares and his team show off their Tae Kwon Do skills — a chance to promote the Tae Kwon Do classes that the base’s new youth sports coordinator, Brett Lane, will soon be offering.

They also laughed their way through a performance by Mad Science, which teach-es kids about chemistry and physics with exploding balloons and odd odors — al-ways popular with kids.

Beth and Spence Pickett brought their

boys, Reece, 6, and Kyle, 8, to Kids’ Day and were surprised at the many activi-ties.

“We wanted to get the kids outside on this beautiful day,” said Spence Pickett, a structural engineer at the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center. “This is great!”

Bubbles, pinwheels, visors — so much to do and little Ashlyn Torgesen, daughter of Lt. Russell Torgesen of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4, was perfectly satisfied with the markers. She picked through pink, orange and green, then fi-nally switched over to little foam stickers to finish decorating her picture frame.

Happy and content. What more could you ask for on Kids’ Day?

Blown away on Kids’ Day By MC2 (SW) Karalie Moore

NBVC

Two plus two equals four.The Earth revolves around the sun.These are simple science facts most

people have heard and leave it at that. But some kids want to know more – and about 70 of them participated in a robotics com-petition during Kids’ Day, held Saturday, April 30, at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.

“This event gives kids a chance to re-ally learn about math and science in a fun environment as part of Kids’ Day,” said Monica James, the school liaison officer for NBVC. “Our hope is that if we can get them interested, they can stay interested and go on to maybe work in the engineer-ing field. This is just a great way to get their curiosity piqued by giving them an opportunity to actually experience how things work instead of just telling them.”

The kids weren’t the only ones having fun. In some cases, the whole family helped build the basic robot and then found ways to add to their creation.

“When you get the robot kit, it’s just all these pieces and you’re thinking , ‘How am I going to put this together?’” said Nancy Mendoza, whose son, Rylan, 9, entered the contest. “But then the kids start going to work on it and it’s just amaz-ing to see them put it together.”

“It was fun getting my robot ready to do battle,” said Rylan, whose dad, Jose-hans, is a senior chief aviation structural mechanic with VAW-116. “I’m adding parts so I can just push, push, push!”

Building a robot that could take out all others added a healthy amount of com-petition to the event.

“I always liked science, and I like a chal-lenge,” said Thomas Asencios, 9, whose dad, Senior Chief Navy Counselor Cris-tobal Asencios, is with Naval Recruiting District Los Angeles. “Before battling anyone, I like to study their robot, so I know their weakness and then I can win.”

“We truly feel that robotics for elemen-tary- and middle school-aged kids is the only way this country will begin to over-

come — by starting to teach a younger, more engaging mind — the extreme gap in test scores for math and science as well as bring forth the need for more and more science, technology, engineering and math in the classroom,” said Neal L. Friedman, director of Robotics and Things.

Two plus two equals four.The Earth revolves around the sun.These are simple science facts most

people have heard and leave it at that. But some kids want to know more – and about 70 of them participated in a robotics com-petition during Kids’ Day, held Saturday, April 30, at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.

“This event gives kids a chance to re-ally learn about math and science in a fun environment as part of Kids’ Day,” said Monica James, the school liaison officer for NBVC. “Our hope is that if we can get them interested, they can stay interested and go on to maybe work in the engineer-ing field. This is just a great way to get their curiosity piqued by giving them an opportunity to actually experience how things work instead of just telling them.”

The kids weren’t the only ones having fun. In some cases, the whole family helped build the basic robot and then found ways to add to their creation.

“When you get the robot kit, it’s just all these pieces and you’re thinking , ‘How am I going to put this together?’” said Nancy Mendoza, whose son, Rylan, 9, entered the contest. “But then the kids start going to work on it and it’s just amaz-ing to see them put it together.”

“It was fun getting my robot ready to do battle,” said Rylan, whose dad, Jose-hans, is a senior chief aviation structural mechanic with VAW-116. “I’m adding parts so I can just push, push, push!”

Building a robot that could take out all others added a healthy amount of com-petition to the event.

“I always liked science, and I like a chal-lenge,” said Thomas Asencios, 9, whose dad, Senior Chief Navy Counselor Cris-tobal Asencios, is with Naval Recruiting District Los Angeles. “Before battling anyone, I like to study their robot, so I know their weakness and then I can win.”

Each family received one free robot kit from Robotics and Things in Simi Valley, courtesy of Time Warner Cable. Families were able to build the robot at home and bring their finished product back for the Kids’ Day competition, which included prizes and trophies in different catego-ries.

“We truly feel that robotics for elemen-tary- and middle school-aged kids is the only way this country will begin to over-

Against a backdrop of recyclinginformation, photos of endangeredspecies found on Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC) and skulls of animalheads — “Can you guess which one’sa coyote?”— 69 people ran the EarthDay 5K along the NBVCPointMugucoastline on Thursday, April 14.Dan Frost, who retired last year as

a lieutenant commander with NBVC,came in first with a time of 19minutes,31 seconds.“There were some very tough winds

today,” said Frost, who had taken partin the Admiral’s Cup triathlon atNBVC on April 9, less than a weekprior.Several children ran the lunchtime

5K. It was spring break at many localschools, and it was also Take YourChild to Work Day at NBVC.Elisa Puerto, 8, ran alongside her

father,Utilitiesman 1st ClassMauricioPuerto of NavalMobile ConstructionBattalion 5.“She’s done about 10 or 12 5Ks,”he

said as she nodded in agreement. “It’sher spring break, so she was availableto run.”Many of the runners stopped by to

look at the Earth Day displays set upby the Environmental Division of thebase Public Works Department.Anthony Zaragoza, a motor vehicle

operator, gave away Post-It Notesalong with recycling information ashe staffed a booth on behalf of LloydNash, the solid waste coordinator forthe base.Chad Lousen, an environmental

planning and conservation scientist,and Steve Granade of the Environ-mental Division, sat behind a tableloaded with information about thewildlife on local beaches and wet-lands.Popular among the displays were

skulls of local animals, including aharbor seal, coyote and California sealion.The next lunchtime run is Aug. 4, a

Heat of the Summer 5K. A 1K kidsfun run will be held at the sametime.

From people to pelicans to elephantseals, it’s the job of the EnvironmentalDivision to keep all parts of Naval Base

Ventura County, including SanNicolas Island, safe for the many crea-

tures that call it home.On April 21, a day before Earth Day,

the division’s Francesca Ferrara andMar-garet McDonald visited with about 120first-graders at Richard Bard ElementarySchool in Port Hueneme to share howimportant it is to keep the Earth clean.This was the second year they’ve visitedthe school for Earth Day.Ferrara, a natural resource director,

taught the children about the environmentin which they live, defining words such as“habitat” and “endangered.” She alsoshowed pictures of dinosaurs to help thestudents understand the meaning of theword “extinct.”“I want the kids to learn a little bit more

about the environment they live in andlearn to appreciate it,” she said.Ferrara andMcDonald, a physical sci-

entist, described their typical work week.They showed the students photos of Fer-rara putting a radio collar on a mountain

lion one day and getting stuck in the mudthe next.

“Who likes to get stuck in the mud?”Ferrara asked. “Thumbs up or thumbsdown?”The first-graders were amazed and in

awe of Ferrara working with the environ-ment.Before long, the children were up close

and personal with skulls of differentanimals, including the Island Fox, RedFox, Coyote, California Sea Lion and thedomestic dog. Ferrara and McDonaldalso brought snake skins and clam shells,and the children eagerly lined up to touchthe specimens, as well as a piece of sealfur.Even though these youngsters are only

in the first grade, Ferrara andMcDonaldsaid all young children should learn theimportance of conserving the environ-ment and know that certain species areendangered and why.The children left the presentation in-

formed about their environment and whythe Navy recognizes Earth Day.“We want to make sure they know that

the Navy is working to protect the envi-ronment in line with the Navy mission,”McDonald said.
