WHATS INSIDE
Photo by AndreA howry / Lighthouse
During a Force Protection exercise last month involving an active shooter at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, emergency
medical technicians with Federal Fire are brought into a building where victims are bleeding, even though the shooter is still inside and has
not yet been captured. These new tactics are being developed in the hopes that fewer victims will die as a result of untreated wounds. In some
mass shootings, it has taken as long as two hours for first aid to be rendered too late for some victims. Story, more photos, Pages 16-17.

(NBVC) families who live in Lin-
coln Military Housing have until
June 1 to become familiar with
their new utility bills thanks to a
delay in the Resident Energy
Conservation Program (RECP)
live billing rollout.
Residents have been receiving
mock bills since January, the first
step in a program intended to
make residents aware of the cost
of their electricity and pay
when their personal usage is ex-
cessive.
Residents also have an oppor-
tunity to earn credit for energy
savings.
Initially, live billing was sched-
uled to begin at NBVC in April,
but local officials requested and
received an extension of the mock
billing period.
We wanted people to have
more time to see what their usage
is and adjust their habits accord-
ingly, said Deborah Williams,
community support programsite
manager.
The Department of the Navy
is rolling out RECP throughout
its Public Private Venture (PPV)
housing in compliance with guid-
ance from the Office of the Sec-
retary of Defense. In Navy Re-
gion Southwest, those units are
managed by Lincoln Military
Housing.
This is an opportunity to con-
serve energy on a broad scale, and
families can benefit financially by
Lincoln residents will get real utility bills in June
Rollout postponed;
mock bills showing
energy usage will
continue to arrive

Question: I have noticed the rise in popularity
of electronic cigarettes around the base. Is there an
instruction or policy that describes the specifcs on
where people can use them on base?
Answer: Thank you for allowing me to address
what is an area of great interest. We do not have an
instruction specifc to Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) because higher-level instructions are clear.
Tobacco use inside facilities controlled by the De-
partment of the Navy is prohibited by SECNAVINST
5100.13E, Navy and Marine Corps Tobacco Policy.
There are a few exceptions, such as personal housing
units. The Food and Drug Administration classifes
e-cigarettes as tobacco products, and as such they
fall under this restriction.
Like smokeless tobacco, e-cigarettes are not
considered to be a safe alternative to smoking and
are not a Navy medicine-approved smoking cessa-
tion tool. Tobacco use is the single largest prevent-
able cause of premature death in our country. Your
health and wellness are important to the country,
the Navy and NBVC, and helping you quit safely is
important.
For more information about Navy medicine
policies and initiatives related to tobacco cessation,
visit www.med.navy.mil or talk to your physician
during your next visit.
Do you have questions or suggestions? You can
submit them via this forum at lighthouse@navy.mil,
online using the COs Suggestion Box at http://cnic.
navy.mil/ventura/index.htm or at www.Facebook.
com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty. You can also follow
NBVC on Twitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifor-
nia and keep up on the latest news and events.

An African American pilot in World
War II who went on to have a 26-year
career in the U.S. Armed Forces shared
his story Friday, Feb. 21, as the Fleet
Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW)
Detachment Point Mugu, celebrated Af-
rican American History Month.
My experience with the military was
wonderful, and Ill always remember it,
Richard T. Lee, 88, told a crowd of about
200. Here I am, in 2014, talking about
what happened in the 40s and 50s. Im a
happy camper today.
Lee graduated from high school in the
middle of World War II, and his first
choice was the Navy. But when told he
could be only a steward a mess atten-
dant, it was formally called he enlisted
in the Army, hoping to become a pilot.
In 1941 there was very little hope of
being able to fly in the Army Air Corps,
he said. I had to prove I was as good as
the next guy.
He took test after test after test and was
finally accepted into the program, learning
to fly at the Tuskegee Institute in Tuske-
gee, Ala.
He almost didnt get there.
Mississippi was the first time I saw
segregation in an ugly form, he said.
He was in Biloxi, waiting for transport
to Tuskegee, when he tried to buy a sand-
wich and was asked, What do you want,
boy? He said he didnt like being called
boy, and was promptly arrested.
They were going to put me in jail!Lee
recalled.
The provost marshal had to intervene,
and Lee got to the base.
I look back on that and I say this: Im
happy that Im here, Lee told the audi-
ence.

spoke, Savanh, who is from Laos, told the audience that racial epithets had been hurled
his way when he was riding a bus at the age of 14. It hurts, he said.

Logistics Specialist 1st Class Kellie Smith of Navy Opera-
tional Support Center (NOSC) Ventura County is one example
of why financial resource fairs like the ones held the last
week of February at Naval Base Ventura County are im-
portant.
Smith is closing in on 20 years in the Navy and is thinking
about retirement.
She wishes shed started thinking about it 20 years ago.
I should have immediately started socking away money for
my future, she said. I didnt do that, and now I wish I would
have.
The fairs held Tuesday, Feb. 25, at the Port Hueneme Navy
Exchange (NEX) and Thursday, Feb. 27, at the Point Mugu
NEX, are designed to spur Sailors into thinking about long-
term financial success.
There are so many different programs I could have utilized,
Smith said. Theyre available and theyre free. Why not use
them?
About 135 people attended the two financial resource fairs
put on by the Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC).

NSWC PHD
Students from15 Ventura County middle
schools assembledat Naval Surface Warfare
Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC
PHD) Feb. 20 to take part in the 14th an-
nual Engineering Challenge a hands-on
learning experience in which schools com-
pete in an innovative rocket science proj-
ect.
The competition challenges the minds of
those attending to use their knowledge of
mathandscience principles todesigna min-
iature rocket launcherfromordinaryoffice
and household supplies. Students then use
their newly built product to launch ping
pong balls at a target while being judged by
a panel of Navy and civilian engineers.
The students dont go it alone they are
assisted by a math or science teacher from
their respective schools andanengineer from
the Navy command.
NSWC PHD created the competition as
awaytohelplocal students withanaptitude
for math and science discover the world of
engineeringwhile exposingthemtothe types
of problem-solvingchallenges engineers face
on a daily basis. Mixed in with all the fun
of the competitionis a strong dose of learn-
ing. Throughout the day, students are en-
gaged in a variety of engineering concepts,
including aerodynamics, trajectory andpull
of gravity.
This event is lovedby both students and
teachers, said Timothy J. Troske, NSWC
PHDtechnical director. The teachers enjoy
the fact that their students are applyingmath
and science concepts in a real-world sce-
nario, and the students like the spirit of the
competition.
The students are limited to the materials
provided by their hosts at the command.
Popsicle sticks, water bottles, swimnoodles,
rubber bands, water balloons, paper clips,
glue and a variety of other household and
office items were at their disposal. The teams
were also given a credit card with which
they could purchase additional materials
within a specified budget. They were chal-
lenged to keep their costs down because
overspending would affect their point score
in the judging process.
Duringtheir worksessions, students broke
away for a tour of the commands Surface
Warfare Engineering Facility, where they
were afforded an opportunity to see what
some engineers do for work and how they
apply their math and science knowledge.
They were fascinated to find out that the
engineers in that building can operate the
Navys Test Ship, homeported at NSWC
PHD, by remote control.
After the tour, andafter acouple of hours
of buildinganddesigningtheir projects, each
teamwas givena chance totest-launchtheir
prototypes and then make any necessary
adjustments before final judging. The stu-
dents were toldthat theywouldpresent their
projects and design rationale to the panel
of judges, and they would be scored on cre-
ativity, conceptual design, application, test-
ingprocedure, accuracyof their launch, and
cost control measures. The topthree winning
teams were guaranteed a prize.
The judging panel consisted of NSWC
PHDsenior leadership, includingCapt. Burt
Espe, commander; Troske; JimVallas, dep-
uty division technical director; Noel Ca-
manag, director of the Office of Engineering
and Technology; and Kristine Klimek,
WeaponSystems IntegrationDivisionman-
ager.
Santa Rosa Technology Magnet School
in Camarillo took first place, followed by
Balboa Middle School inVentura andJohn
C. Fremont Intermediate School inOxnard.
All three schools received an opportunity
to tour a visiting ship.
The study of mathandscience is impor-
tant for any type of engineering discipline
you might choose in the future, Espe told
the students in closing remarks. Engineers
are creators andinnovators. They turnideas
into products like your cell phones, tablets,
computers and game devices. Here at Port
Hueneme, we apply our school and life ex-
periences to solve problems and come up
with new ideas that are used to help our
United States Navy.

Operation Prepare is Navy Region
Southwests family emergency prepared-
ness program. By preparing in advance, a
family is better equipped to respond in the
event an emergency. Navy is often called
upon to assist in disasters throughout the
world and respond to many emergencies;
it is essential that Navy families prepare
themselves to be equipped to respond as
well.
Living in Southern California puts us
at risk for wildfires, mudslides, flooding
and earthquakes, to name a few possi-
bilities. During recent storms in Southern
states, individuals were stranded in their
vehicles for many hours, some overnight.
Students were stranded at their schools.
Think about how a blocked freeway or
even a serious traffic jamwould affect your
ability to pick up your child from
school.
The Fleet & Family Support Center
(FFSC) at Naval Base Ventura County
has many tools to help families prepare in
advance of a disaster. Additionally, it is
important that families consider their
childrens schools in all emergency plan-
ning.
Operation Prepare suggests three simple
steps: Be informed, have a plan and make
a kit. These three steps can also be taken
to ensure your children are prepared while
at school.
Be informed
Knowing what to do can make all the
difference when seconds count. Find out
what the schools disaster plan is.
If the school will be evacuated, where
will the students be taken? And, how will
they be transported?
How will parents be notified?
If you live on base, will your regular
school transportation be available? Will
your carpool driver or the school bus have
access?
Has the school discussed emergency
plans with the students?
Have a plan
Consider the range of possibilities and
places you might be.
Do you have a backup plan if you are
unable to pick up your child from
school?
Do you have local friends, family or
neighbors named on your childs emer-
gency authorization form to whom your
child can be released? This cannot be
stressed enough.
Have you talked to your child about
possible plans, specifically considering
natural disasters common in your local
community?
Make a kit
Consider the basics of survival, and take
special needs of any family members into
account.
Does the school have water bottles and
basic essentials if children must shelter
in place? How can you assist the school
in obtaining supplies?
Is the school notified of medical con-
ditions, and does it have necessary medica-
tions for your child?
Can you give your child an extra water
bottle or granola bar to keep in their back-
pack or locker in the event of an emer-
gency?
Schools work hard to be prepared for
an emergency, but as a parent, it is impor-
tant that you are informed and well-pre-
pared as well. Think of ways you can help
the schools and your children to be best
equipped to respond in an emergency.
For more information about preparing
your home and family for a disaster, con-
tact the FFSC at 805-982-5037. Offering
literature and classes in emergency pre-
paredness, the FFSC can connect you to
essential resources.
The NBVC school liaison officer can be
contacted at 805-989-5211 or NBVC_SLO@
navy.mil.

Worship schedule
A couple of years ago I was playing a
billiard game called bumper pool with my
niece. Because she was very young and
newto the game, Lauren was still learning
how to use the pool cue more effectively.
I could tell she was growing more frus-
trated in her attempts to hit the billiard
ball. After several tries, she looked up at
me with her beautiful eyes and asked,
Uncle Jeff, can I have a do over?
The wonderful thing about getting a do
overin life is a person gets another chance
to undo a mistake and try again in what-
ever he or she needs to do to make things
right.
How wonderful would it be to have an-
other chance to make things right every
time we fail or make mistakes in life? While
we cant go back in time, with Gods grace
and forgiveness, we can have a do over.
Our God in Heaven is a God of second
and third chances. This is what grace
means. It is something from Gods divine
generosity and love we can receive for free.
Because Gods grace isnt something that
we have earned by our hard work or per-
sonal righteousness, it is not something
we can brag about to ourselves or others.
Gods gift of mercy and grace is simply
an experience we receive with gratitude
and humility.

CPPD
The Center for Personal and Profes-
sional Development (CPPD) is asking
Sailors to submit their Navy Tuition As-
sistance (TA) requests and now would
be good.
According to Ernest DAntonio, direc-
tor of CPPDs Navy Voluntary Education
(VOLED) program, the expenditure rate
for TA funding is currently below normal
levels, which means theres more funding
available than usual at this time of the
year.
We use historical burn rates as a guide
for allocating TA funding throughout the
year, he said. We plan really well for
routine years. After furloughs and a gov-
ernment shutdown, Fiscal Year 2014 (FY-
14) hasnt been a routine year.
Lt. Cmdr. Mark Wadsworth, director
of CPPD Support Site Saufley Field in
Pensacola, Fla., leads the team that mon-
itors CPPDs Navy TA spending. He said
earlier this month that FY-14 TA execu-
tion is trailing FY-13s execution rate by
just over $6 million year-to-date.
We think a variety of things influenced
our being belowthe TAbudget right now,
he said. Our execution rate dropped in
October with the government shutdown,
and thats carried through the year. The
usage rate steadily increased in November
and December. But then it dropped back
down in January, probably due to uncer-
tainty with the federal budget. Although
we have funding now, the usage rate hasnt
increased significantly since then. Sailors
need to understand that their education
benefits reset each year, and unused
amounts dont carry over.
More than 25,000 Sailors have used TA
benefits so far this fiscal year.
DAntonio emphasized that a Sailors
command is an important part of TA au-
thorizations because theyre the first step
in the process after a Sailor submits a re-
quest.
Its each commands responsibility to
ensure their Sailors are aware of and meet
Windfall in tuition assistance; Sailors should act now

Federal income tax refunds totaling

nearly $450,000 are on their way to local
Sailors and retirees thanks to the self-ser-
vice tax center at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Port Hueneme.
So far, 317 returns have been prepared
at the tax center, coordinator Sal Gonza-
les said.
Gonzales, a legal assistant clerk in the
Region Legal Service Office Detachment
Ventura, said federal refunds so far total
$446,466. State refunds total $53,795.
The tax center is in Building 103, at Har-
ris Street and 23rd Avenue. Its open from
11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday
in Classroom 102.
Taxpayers complete their own returns
using computers set up in the classroom,
but volunteers are available to help answer
any questions that may arise during the
process.
The service is free to active-duty service
members and their families; there is a
minimal charge for retirees whose adjust-
ed gross income is more than $58,000.
To set up an appointment call 805-982-

NMCRS
The 2014 Active Duty Fund Drive
in support of the Navy-Marine Corps
Relief Society (NMCRS) is being con-
ducted through April 27.
The slogan for this years campaign
is: Help us help you.
NMCRS provided assistance to
more than 870 local Sailors, Marines
and their families in Ventura County
last year. Interest-free loans of more
than $470,000 were disbursed, as well
as grants totaling $9,985.
In addition to financial assistance,
NMCRS provides budget counseling,
dispenses complimentary layettes to
new parents through its Budget For
Baby classes and operates the thrift
shop at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme.
NMCRS also provides interest-free
loans for college courses.
Through the efforts of NBVC com-
mands, military personnel and retir-
ees, the Ventura County community
joined forces to raise $49,165 during
the 2013 fund drive.
For this years drive, donations are
accepted in the form of payroll deduc-
tions (allotments), checks or cash.
Service members are encouraged to
contribute by allotment since the do-
nation can be spread over a 12-month
period, thereby minimizing the finan-
cial impact on a members budget.
The local fund drive website is www.
nmcrsfunddrive.org/ventura.
For those unable to make a mone-
tary donation, the Society would be
pleased to have more volunteer assis-
tance. Call 805-982-4409 to learn
about the next Volunteer Orienta-
tion.
For more information on the fund
drive at NBVC, contact Lt. Jessie
Pamaran at 805-989-8003 or email
jessie.pamaran@navy.mil; or Chief
Logistics Specialist Unoi Lazaro at
805-982-4486 or email unoi.lazaro@
navy.mil. Command representatives
may also contact the NMCRS Ven-
tura office directly at ventura@nmcrs.

Is this the way that I should be?
A bear that only thinks of me?
The Berenstain Bears Learn to Share
was the book of the morning for Lt. Scott
Angelo of Air Test and Evaluation Squad-
ron (VX) 30 as he read to second graders
at Dennis McKinna Elementary School
in Oxnard for Read Across America Day,
Monday, March 3.
Angelo and half a dozen others from
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) read
to students at McKinna and Marina West
Elementary, which called the base and
asked for volunteers. This is the 17th year
the National Education Association has
declared a Read Across America Day. It
is tied to the birthday of Theodore Geisel,
better known as Dr. Seuss.
Angelo volunteered last year. He said
he enjoyed it and was eager to return. He
doesnt have children, but no one would
have guessed that the way he worked the
classroom.
Do you read aloud when youre in the
airplane? asked one youngster in Mar-
icela Gomezs class.
We sure do, he answered. We have
big manuals and we have to look things
up. When we find the answer we read it
aloud so everyone can hear it.
How do you learn to fly an airplane?
another asked.
He told them that he started out just
like themin elementary school then
went on to middle school and high school
and college.
And after that, it took two more years
to learn how to fly planes, he told the
class. So you have to stick with reading
and math and do well. Youve got to keep
up with your work.
Anne Jenks, principal of McKinna
School, has a son who works at the base.
She said she appreciated the Navy volun-
teers.
So many kids in this school have mem-
bers of their family in the military, she
said. And many of the students say they
want to go into the military themselves.
Its nice for them to have role models.

NOSC Ventura County
Retired and active duty military person-
nel gathered at a Simi Valley retirement
community last month to celebrate the
100th birthday of Gary Garrison, who,
as a yeoman second class during World
War II, set submarine nets at ports around
the world, including Port Hueneme.
I brag about him to everybody ev-
eryone that comes to the home, said Pi-
etro Sozio, community director. To be
100 years old in and of itself is awe-
some.
On his birthday Feb. 6, Garrison was
humbled, happy and surprised to have
everyone visit him, but to those in atten-
dance, the celebration was a way to pay
homage to a man who paved the way for
our country and the rest of the world.
If it wouldnt have been for people like
him when he served, I would not have the
opportunities that I have, said Hospital
Corpsman 1st Class Reina Reyes of Navy
Operational Support Center (NOSC) Ven-
tura County. We are following them,
continuing the path of freedom for our
country. Its important to know their sto-
ries because there wont be any World War
II veterans much longer, and we will lose
this part of history.
Garrison enlisted in United States Naval
Reserve May 30, 1942, in Los Angeles.
I was always proud of myself that I
could learn so much and join the Navy,
said Garrison. I worked at a land-based
net command and was responsible for
harbor/port control. We set nets in San
Pedro; Cairns, Australia; New Guinea;
and Port Hueneme. Our nets kept out
submarines and kept our ports safe, and
I am very thankful for that.
Aviation Maintenance Administration-
man 1st Class Joel Felder, president of
NOSC Ventura Countys First Class Pet-
ty Officers Association, attended the cel-
ebration.
Its an honor, not just for us, but for
the whole Navy, he said. We should all
appreciate the sacrifices he has made for
the Navy and our country.

About three dozen Air Force students experienced the benefits
of living on a base in Southern California when they spent a
recent Sunday morning in the sand at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC) Point Mugu.
The students from the Air Force 344th Training Squadron,
Detachment 1, helped clean up Family Beach Feb. 23, joined by
five staff members and the ombudsman.
This is good for the environment, said Tech Sgt. Thomas
Kessler. Everyone likes to take their family to a clean beach.
The students found cardboard, bottles, cans, packaging foam
and cigarette butts a lot of cigarette butts, Kessler said.
Many of the students have been in the military for less than a
year. They come to the detachment at NBVC Port Hueneme for
Vehicle Maintenance School, some of them straight from basic
training.

NMCB 4
In preparation for its upcoming deploy-
ment to Pacific Command, Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 4 sent
its chief petty officers, junior officers and
select first class petty officers to Camp
Pendleton and Point Mugu as participants
in the annual Tactical Unit Leadership
Course (TULC).
Spanning the course of two weeks, the
training covered numerous topics, includ-
ing the creation of operation orders, ter-
rain model briefing, fire plan preparation
and land navigation.
The first week consisted of classroom
instruction at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC) Port Hueneme before traveling
to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton
for a practical application of the covered
topics. For many of the junior officers, it
was their first opportunity for hands-on
experience in terrain model creation and
briefing defense plans.
Coming from the Air Force, we have
little exposure to tactical planning and
execution as civil engineering officers,
said Capt. Sarah Ziaja, NMCB 4s Air
Force exchange officer. So it was very
insightful and informative to learn how
to plan in a tactical environment.
After their tenure at Camp Pendleton,
the students engaged in a simulated con-
voy operation at NBVC Point Mugu.
Donning Kevlar helmets and vests, stu-
dents jumped into High Mobility Multi-
purpose Wheeled Vehicles, or Humvees,
situated in training rooms that pro-
jected a three-dimensional replication
of a Middle-Eastern desert. Students
used simulated M-16 rifles and simu-
lated mounted machine guns to engage
hostiles while avoiding improvised ex-
plosive devices on the way to check-
points.
Giving a convoy brief and being a
convoy commander even for a simu-
lated convoy was something I didnt
expect to happen for me with this train-
ing, said Ensign Matt Carmody. I feel
like I gained a lot of good experiences
from it, and luckily I had a lot of good
enlisted personnel and officers giving
me advice, which allowed the convoy
to run very smoothly in my opinion.
Lt. j.g. Caroline Mastrangelo, TULC
officer in charge, was elated to see the
positive reaction to the exercise.
The simulator provided the students
with an excellent opportunity to execute
their convoy orders in a real-time con-
voy, she said.
NMCB 4 is preparing to deploy to
the Pacific Theater late this year.

Lessons learned in the 15-year history
of mass shootings in the United States
starting with Colorados Columbine
High School have forced first respond-
ers to rethink how they approach a crime
scene when the gunman is still on the
loose.
Today, saving lives has become a shared
priority with capturing the shooter, and
the result is a change in the traditional
roles of police officers and emergency
medical technicians (EMTs).
Police officers, for example, are learning
how to open airways, put tourniquets on
bleeding victims and bandage penetrative
chest wounds. EMTs are being fitted with
body armor and learning basic weapons
skills so they can enter dangerous areas.
The tactics, techniques and procedures
are different than they were 15 years ago,
explained Matt Clement, supervisory spe-
cial agent for the U.S. Naval Criminal
Investigative Service (NCIS) office at Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC). At
Columbine, first responders werent
trained to go in and victims died as a
result.
Two exercises on base last month fo-
cused on the communication and coop-
eration needed to make these new tactics
successful.
Nearly two dozen first responders, in-
cluding officers from the Port Hueneme
Police Department, took part in the first
exercise, held Thursday, Feb. 13, in the
empty Building 3 at NBVC Point Mugu.
Put on by an NCIS training team out of
San Diego, the exercise broke down the
roles of contact teams the officers
who focus on finding and capturing the
suspect and rescue teams other
officers and firefighters who go into
cleared rooms to help victims, even though
the suspect is probably still in the build-
ing.
The second event was part of Solid Cur-
tain Citadel Shield, an annual force protec-
tion exercise that took place this year the
week of Feb. 24. About 50 people par-
ticipated in an active-shooter scenario
Tuesday, Feb. 25, at Building 442, the Un-
derway Replenishment (UNREP) Build-
ing at the Naval Surface Warfare Center,
Port Hueneme Division. With officers
from NBVC Force Protection providing
cover, Federal Fire EMTs gave immediate
first aid to victims in this case, man-
nequins even though the shooter had
not yet been apprehended.
At Columbine, help didnt arrive for
victims for two hours, explained Brian
Edsinger, NBVCs emergency management
officer. We cant wait two hours anymore.
If this training allows us to save three or
four people, thats more than we would
have ever saved before.
John Adkins, the chief of Federal Fire
at NBVC, is in full agreement that the new
policy of having protected firefighters en-
tering warm zones as opposed to
cold zones, where there is no danger
because the shooter has been apprehend-
ed, and hot zones where the shooter is
believed to be alive and armed is neces-
sary.

In an active-shooter situation, evacuees and released hostages are told to
walk out with their hands behind their heads and are searched just in
case the shooter is among them. That is practiced here Feb. 25.

About two dozen first responders from
across Southern California attended a
daylong training session at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Huenemes
Bard Mansion last month to learn about
violent extremism, especially as it relates
to the Middle East.
The course was put on by the Joint Re-
gional Intelligence Center in Norwalk and
hosted by the Naval Criminal Investigative
Service (NCIS) office at NBVC.
Instructors said the Feb. 18 class was
intended to help law enforcement officers,
firefighters and military personnel become
more aware of threats and more capable
of seeing behaviors that may indicate
theyre planning and thinking of targeting
our community.
While the class focused on the emer-
gence of Iranian power in the Middle East
and its link with Hezbollah, it also covered
the leap from radicalization to violent ex-
tremism what triggers a person to actu-
ally perpetrate acts of violence against the
United States.
Well never seal off America from ter-
rorism, one of the instructors said. You
cant catch everyone. But were hoping to
raise awareness and were catching more
every day.
NBVC office of NCIS hosts course in violent extremism
A lot of people have died in these mass shootings because
there was no emergency medical support to stop the bleeding,
Adkins said. If someone can apply bandages and tourniquets,
theres a better chance of survival.
That also goes for injuries to first responders. The Feb. 25
scenario called for Force Protection officer Carlos Garcia to be
shot in the leg. He applied his own tourniquet.
I put it on myself, he said, adding that hed learned the
procedure during Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) train-
ing.
The Feb. 13 exercise had rescue teams wearing body armor
and helmets entering the building where the shooter was hid-
ing. They brought out victims real people this time, wear-
ing prosthetic wounds and practiced different ways to carry
the injured.
They learn how to enter a room, how to go down a hallway,
explained Brian Mueller, a physical security specialist with
NCISs Security Training, Assistance and Assessment Team
(STAAT).
Both exercises had police officers escorting released hostages
out of the building. Standard procedure calls for all evacuees
to be treated as suspects in case the shooter is among them;
they come out with their hands locked behind their heads, and
theyre searched.
Training like this is essential, Port Hueneme Police Chief
Robert Gager said.
We have worked some cases together with the base and
NCIS, he said. This makes for a cohesive team.
So all of the hours spent planning and executing drills like
this: Is it worth it?
For the Feb. 25 exercise, Bob Hilger, the division manager for
UNREP, gave up his building where as many as 45 people work
at one time.
Its absolutely necessary, he said.
Added Richard Hadley, branch manager of UNREP: If all
we have to do is give up two hours of our time to help the re-
sponse in the long term, thats a good thing.
Exercises let first responders practice new tactics

his wife in the van, then entered Building 442, where he shot several
people and killed himself.

NAVFAC EXWC
The Naval Facilities Engineering and
Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAV-
FAC EXWC) has announced Steelwork-
er 1st Class Shawn Herrs selection as
NAVFACs 2013 (Sea) Sailor of the
Year.
Herr, attached to NAVFAC EXWCs
Mobile Utilities Support Equipment
(MUSE) division, was selected for his
outstanding work as detachment officer
in charge, overseeing more than 60 mil-
itary and civilian personnel in the in-
spection, operation and maintenance of
vital power generation equipment at na-
val installations worldwide.
Petty Officer Herr did a phenomenal
job leading his team in the support of
essential power needs in diverse loca-
tions with varied energy supply require-
ments, said Capt. Mark. K. Edelson,
NAVFAC EXWC commanding officer.
He is fully deserving of this high hon-
or, and his actions exemplify the Navys
core values of honor, courage and com-
mitment, and the spirit of NAVFAC.
The NAVFAC Sailor of the Year pro-
gram recognizes Sailors who best repre-
sent superior dedicated service in a par-
ticular type of duty. The Sailor of the
Year epitomizes Navy core values and
is typified by a history of sustained su-
perior performance, including significant
positive command impact, outstanding
mission contribution and proven leader-
ship ability.
Herr distinguished himself as the lead
petty officer for MUSE as they supplied
power for more than 7,000 personnel at
Naval Base Guantanamo Bay; Camp
Lemonnier, Djibouti; and the Naval Sur-
face Warfare Center, Dahlgren, Va. His
direct efforts saved the Navy $16 million
in labor costs and contracted equip-
ment.
Im honored to be chosen as the 2013
NAVFAC Sea SOY, said Herr. I feel
privileged to represent my command,
NAVFAC EXWC MUSE Division. I
wouldnt be where Im at in my career
without the support of my family.
He also credited those he works with
on a daily basis.
The guidance and support of my
command and shipmates have made me
a better Sailor, and they all aided in my
selection, Herr said. They deserve this
honor.
Herr will now represent the entire
NAVFAC enterprise and compete with
more than 25 Echelon II winners for the
Vice Chief of Naval Operation (VCNO)
Sailor of the Year.

Two engineers from Naval Facilities
Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare
Center (NAVFAC EXWC) received the
Society of American Military Engineers
(SAME) Project of the Year award at a
Feb. 20 ceremony in Oxnard.
David Chavez and Bruce Holden were
recognized for their work on energy and
environmental sustainability at Camp
Lemonnier, Djibouti. David and Bruce
developed and led several teams to sup-
port Camp Lemonnier in reducing en-
ergy needs in containerized living units
(CLUs), said Capt. Mark K. Edelson,
NAVFAC EXWCs commanding officer.
Their work in improving energy usage
is invaluable and has direct benefits to
our warfighters in Djibouti and in loca-
tions around the world.
The energy improvements were largely
based on modified environmental control
units within existing CLUs (also referred
to as Super CLUs); power grid revisions;
reducing water needs through improved
facilities and increased re-use water; and
the reduction of solid waste burned in
the camp incinerator.
I was happy to accept this award as
part of a great EXWC team effort, said
David Chavez, an environmental engi-
neer. Multiple departments were used
to provide excellent support to Camp
Lemonnier to reduce energy use, reduce
water consumption and reduce solid
waste.
The Super CLUs save thousands in
energy usage, increase living space and
privacy for individuals, reduce noise and
allow more personnel to be comfortably
housed in a given unit than current CLU
configurations.
The project also reduced fuel burned
in camp generators by 500,000 gallons
while increasing total energy output by
2 million kWh.
Water use was reduced by 50,000 gal-
lons per day through the use of low water
use washing machines and lowflowshow-
er heads.
The teams successful demonstration
of variable, split load HVAC (heating,
ventilation and air conditioning) units led
the camp to purchase and replace all
CLUs and environmental control units
(ECUs); 900 of 1,500 units have been
replaced and the remainder will be
changed out by the end of the fiscal
year.
The improvements are being adapted
across NAVFAC, with one facilities en-
gineering command incorporating EXWC
ECU recommendations into future CLU
purchases.

Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, to the Santa Monica Pier to raise funds for a Persian
Gulf Tribute memorial in Kokosz home state of Wisconsin.
Pledges are still being collected, but it
looks like about $750 was raised over
Presidents Day Weekend when Paul Ko-
kosz and a fellow bicyclist rode 40 miles
fromNaval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Point Mugu to the Santa Monica Pier in
support of a Persian Gulf Tribute in Ko-
kosz home state of Wisconsin.
Kokosz, the deputy emergency manage-
ment officer of Naval Facilities Engineer-
ing and Expeditionary Warfare Center
(NAVFAC EXWC), and Dan Manrique
of Team Red White and Blue, a group of
athletes that helps veterans and their
families, made the trip Saturday, Feb.
15.
The weather was fantastic for a ride,
and it was a great workout, but most of
all we had fun, Kokosz said.
The Persian Gulf Tribute is nearing
completion in a Wisconsin memorial park
called The Highground. Shaped like a
bootprint, it honors those who served in
the Persian Gulf War of two decades ago,
as well as more recent conflicts in Iraq
and Afghanistan.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Wednesday, April 2, is the Fleet &
Family Support Center (FFSC) Spring
Career Fair at Naval Base Ventura
County, Port Hueneme. Employers,
trade schools and educational institu-
tions are looking for talent like yours.
Instead of waiting for employers to call
you, were bringing them on base from
9 a.m. to noon at the Bee Hive Gym. So
far weve signed up more than 75 pro-
spective employers who are begging to
shake your hand and tell you whats in
store for you.
Make this your day to send a thank-
you letter to the employers you meet.
Thanking an employer for their time is
not only a great way to express your
continued interest in their organization,
but it also reminds them of who you are.
There will be hundreds of job seekers at
this career fair, so a little reminder by
way of a thank-you letter is always a
good idea. Make sure to ask for their
business card so you know where to send
the letter.
Make this your day to be seen as the
one who is prepared. Employers instant-
ly notice an organized person. Organized
job seekers carry current resumes and
are most certainly prepared with a pen
or two (in case one runs out) in order to
jot down noteworthy information. They
may even have invested wisely in some
business or calling cards. Employers are
coming to the base, so being in uniform
is OK if you have to be; however, if you
have the opportunity, don proper busi-
ness attire.
Make this your day to get hired! This
can be as easy as telling the employer
that you want the job. However, keep in
mind theres a fine line between being
persistent and being pushy. The purpose
of a job fair is to get hired, so dont leave
the employer wondering what your in-
tentions are: Come out and ask them.
Make this your day to stand apart
from the crowd!
With a polished resume and appropri-
ate responses to interview questions,
youre sure to be a success. If you need
help with either, call the FFSC at 805-
982-5037 and ask to speak with an em-
ployment specialist.
The job fair is open to all active duty
military personnel, spouses, Reservists,
retirees, Department of Defense employ-
ees, contract employees and anyone else
with installation access.

NAWCWD Public Affairs
Several employees fromNaval Air War-
fare Center Weapons Division (NAWC-
WD) Point Mugu volunteered to judge
science and engineering projects at Hue-
neme High Schools annual science fair
last month.
Winners are competing March 19 at the
Ventura County Science Fair, held at the
Ventura County Fairgrounds. Each year,
dozens of judges for that event come from
NAWCWDand other commands at Naval
Base Ventura County.
NAWCWD volunteers have supported
the science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) program at Huen-
eme High since 2010. Jay Robnett, who
teaches science for the schools Engineer-
ing and Design Careers Pathway (EDCP)
engineering academy, enlisted the help of
about 30 judges for the Feb. 6 science fair,
20 of whomanswered the call fromPoint
Mugu.
Armed with a set of contest rules and
guidelines, the judges previewed the proj-
ects, interviewed the candidates, made
their selections and awarded ribbons.
Robnett has been the co-director of the
academy along with fellow teachers Bob
Kadin and Lindsay Burkhart for the last
four years. Each year, Hueneme High
hosts a science fair organized by Kevin
Callaway and Robnett that features both
science and engineering projects from
Callaways honors biology and Robnetts
engineering academy classes.
According to Robnett, the goals of the
EDCP program are to increase student
awareness and involvement in STEM
fields, especially engineering, and increase
enrollment of Hueneme students in com-
munity colleges and four-year universi-
ties.
This is our sophomores first experi-
ence with using the engineering design
process,Robnett said. The students have
worked very hard over the past three
months to create their science projects
from design concept to fulfillment
that ranged from solar-powered cars
to model bridges and catapults to CO2
Dragsters. They worked very hard testing
them and making modifications.
The Weapons Division has a huge
base of volunteers who help students in
China Lake, Ridgecrest, Point Mugu,
Oxnard and Port Hueneme, said Trish
Gresham, STEM coordinator for NAW-
CWDs Education Outreach Program.
Not only do the students benefit from
the professionals and their collective ex-
perience, but it is a great way for our
volunteers to impart their passion for the
sciences, engineering, mathematics and
technology they have embraced as a ca-
reer.
This years judges included John Allred,
Lauren Anderson, Lt. Cmdr. Adrian Ar-
viso, Jose Bermudez, Richard Busse,
Aviation Maintenance Administration-
man 2nd Class Javon Cabiness, Equip-
ment Operator 3rd Class Lindsey Deal,
Casey Deyle, Dan Doberstein, Bradley
Dwen, Silvia Faulstich, Master-at-Arms

NAWCWD Public Affairs
With the help of engineers from Naval
Air Warfare Center Weapons Division
(NAWCWD) Point Mugu, sixth-graders
are building robots.
Seven Point Mugu employees respond-
ed to the call for volunteers from Trish
Gresham, NAWCWDs Education Out-
reach Programcoordinator. Theyre help-
ing Patricia Woodens sixth-grade students
in Christa McAuliffe Elementary Schools
Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)
program.
Working with the elementary students
this year are John Allred, Toufue Chang,
Silvia Faulstich, Larry Hoge, Mitchell
Morrow, Derek Rohm and Edgar Tom-
nies.
I want to help stress the importance
of science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) education to all
students, whether it be through direct
classroom support, providing talented
STEM role models and mentors, or by
exposing students to real-world learning
opportunities in our labs, Gresham
said. This exposure gives students so
many other ideas about job opportuni-
ties they never knew existed.
Classes are held twice a week. One
volunteer works with students building
the robots while another guides the
group through the programming pro-
cess.
We need a talented and well-trained
workforce in order to meet our STEM-
related missions and they can experience
that talent first-hand from our scientists
and engineers, Greshamsaid. Not only
do the students benefit from the profes-
sionals and their collective experience,
but it is a great way for our volunteers
to impart a love and passion for the sci-
ence and engineering they have embraced
as a career.

Some of the same money-saving
ideas that were discussed during
the fairs will be presented again
this month as the FFSC sponsors
two Lunch n Learn classes. The
topic March 21 is How To Im-
prove Your Credit Score, and the
topic March 25 is Saving and In-
vesting. Both classes are from
11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the
FFSC in the Welcome Center at
NBVC Port Hueneme.
We want to make Sailors aware
of the resources available to them
and encourage them to build
wealth, not debt, explained Brit-
tany Barton, the financial educa-
tor with FFSC who organized the
two fairs.
Attending were Armed Forces
Bank, CBC Federal Credit Union,
the Better Business Bureau, the
Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society
(NMCRS) and the Ventura Coun-
ty coordinator of the Financial
Abuse Specialist Team, which
fights fraud and identity theft.
The military lifestyle can put
Sailors at financial risk, Dr. Judy
Christman Yates explained.
Monitoring personal finances
can be tough during deployment,
and some Sailors fall into the trap
of sharing too much personal in-
formation with someone they
think they can trust.
They also fall prey to loan pro-
grams that provide quick money
but charge exorbitant interest rates
rates that are much higher than
what they can get at the
NMCRS.
And they lose track of their
credit rating.
Everyone is entitled to one free
credit report a year, Yates said.
Use it.

all relevant TA policies, are comfortable
with their Sailors ability to complete a
requested course, and process each Sailors
TA request promptly, he said.
A command approver can review a
Sailors request and deny it if all Navy
requirements arent met, if the Sailors
performance isnt up to standards, or if
the commands mission might not permit
the Sailor to complete the course. Ulti-
mately, its the commanding officers deci-
sion, said DAntonio. He also recom-
mended each command approver
continually review the Sailors education
progress.
Our biggest reason for disapproval of
TA requests is they arent received from
the Sailors command approver prior to
the course start date, as required by DOD
instruction. Often when we review a TA
request, a Sailor may be missing some of
the TA prerequisites such as a current
education counseling by a Navy College
Office (NCO) or Virtual Education Cen-
ter (VEC) counselor, or an individual
education plan or degree plan on file, or
missing a grade from a past course, he
said.
VOLEDprofessionals work with Sailors
to get the requirements in on time, but if
the Sailors account is incomplete or not
updated before the course start date, they
are unable to fund the TA request,
DAntonio said.
So I repeat this message constantly: 30
days prior to the course start date is not
too soon for Sailors to submit their TA
request, he said. In fact, a TA applica-
tion can be submitted a year before the
actual class start date, which will help en-
sure the Sailors TA request is funded and
allows us to better manage expendi-
tures.

His face brightened as he told the joys
of learning to fly and completing the train-
ing program.
Graduating from pilot school is some-
thing Ill never forget, he said.
Lee was assigned to fly the C-46 aircraft
in the China-Burma-India theater on mis-
sions that came to be known as flying
the Hump. The plane was nicknamed
the flying coffin, but to Lee, that was a
misnomer.
That was a good airplane,he said. It
was a good airplane because Imhere tell-
ing you about it.
Lee would stay in the U.S. Air Force a
total of 26 years and 13 days. His last as-
signment was at Oxnard Air Force Base,
and he and his wife, Madeline, stayed in
the area. Married 55 years, they now live
in Camarillo.
After the speech, dozens of Sailors lined
up to shake hands with Lee and have their
photo taken with him.
That was awesome, said Chief Avia-
tion Electricians Mate Douglas Howard.
This man was a major, major part of
history. That made my day.

NSWC PHD
Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port
Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) cele-
brated Black History Month by hosting
a mock game show on African American
history Tuesday, Feb. 25 an event that
was co-sponsored by the commands Af-
rican American Focus Group (AAFG)
and the commands Civilian Morale, Wel-
fare and Recreation group.
Michael Gibbons, AAFG chairperson,
and Capt. Burt Espe, NSWCPHDs com-
mander, kicked off the event by welcom-
ing and thanking those in attendance.
This event is an opportunity to reflect
on African American history, Gibbons
said. We are here to have fun, learn about
diversity, get a taste of culture and enjoy
great company.
Espe spoke to the audience about the
importance of diversity at the com-
mand.
Here at NSWC PHD, Espe said, we
strive to create an environment that en-
courages and enables all of our Sailors
and civilians to reach their personal and
professional potential. The collective ge-
nius of all our people, with the accompa-
nying range of opinions and experiences,
is the competitive advantage we need to
meet the challenges of tomorrow. I thank
all of your for your attendance as we cel-
ebrate Black History Month and remem-
ber significant people and events that
paved the way for the freedoms we enjoy
today.
The mockgame showASKMe, (African
American Survey of Knowledge), was the
main event. NSWC PHD employees were
cast as the shows host, Johnny Personal-
ity,and contestants. The contestants were
asked15questions about AfricanAmerican
history, and after each question, the host
gave a brief summary of the answer.
James Watkins starredas the shows host,
and Chief Fire Controlman Cory Stowe,
Karen Kjos-Racicot, Taunya Sauthoff and
Gerardo Garza were the four contes-
tants.

AEC Douglas Howard poses with Air Force retiree Richard T. Lee, who learned to fly at
the Tuskegee Institute during World War II and flew the Hump in the China-Burma-India
theater. Lee spoke at the Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) Detachment Point
Mugu, Feb. 21 for African American History Month.

World War II pilot Richard T. Lee tells the
story of how he was arrested on his way
to the Tuskegee Institute because he
complained when a shopkeeper called him
boy. A provost marshal had to intervene to
keep him out of jail.

finding ways to cut energy expenditures
at home, said Capt. Larry Vasquez, NB-
VCs commanding officer.
In January, NBVC residents living in
units managed by Lincoln began receiving
mock bills showing their energy usage,
measured against a baseline average for
homes of similar type and size in their
neighborhood.
Housing is separated into like-type
groups for the purpose of establishing
averages and billing standards; youre mea-
sured against your neighbors in similar
housing units.
A normal usage band is established for
each like-type group, consisting of a range
that is 10 percent above and below the
average usage for that group. If your usage
falls within this band, your usage would
be covered as part of your rent. You can
see where you fall on the bill in the
green (low), yellow(average) or red (high)
usage bands during mock billing.
If youre in the red during mock billing,
its time to look at ways to save energy so
you dont incur charges when billing goes
live. Once $25 or more is due, your bill is
payable. If youre always in the green dur-
ing live billing, youll be similarly due pay-
ments at $25, or you can leave it on the
account to cover future spikes in usage.
The program, first piloted in Hawaii in
2011, has had demonstrated energy con-
servation benefits. According to the Navys
RECP website, Navy residents in Hawaii
reduced overall energy use by 9 percent,
saving approximately $1.3 million in the
first 12 months.
An example of the mock bills that Lincoln Military Housing residents have been receiving
so they can assess their energy usage and reduce it if needed.
