The second phase of construction atthe NEX and commissary parking lot isscheduled to start in early July.The project, which is designed to make

the parking lot safer and improve trafficflow to theWarfield Gym via Addor Av-enue, will require that the main 23rd Av-enue entrance into the NEX and com-missary parking lot and gas station beclosed starting July 6.People needing to shop at the commis-

sary will need to go all the way aroundthe complex – turning left on HarrisStreet, left on 29th Avenue and left onAddor Avenue — and enter the parkinglot off Addor Avenue.People needing to shop at theNEX can

also park there or in the lot borderingHarris Street.Gas station traffic will remain one way,

with the entrance to the pumps movingto the southeast side of the station. Theexit will remain the same and should notbe used as an alternate entrance.There will be times when one lane of

gas pumps will be shut down, so cus-tomer patience is appreciated. “The con-tractor will work closely with the gasstationmanager to schedule these duringoff-peak days and off-peak hours,” saidCarrieWyrick of Naval Facilities South-west, the project manager.Access to theWarfieldGym, Seabreeze

Aquatics Center and Bee-Fit Health andWellness Center will continue to be rout-ed via Harris Street to 29th Avenue and

Addor Avenue.Pedestrian traffic along the commissary

and NEX storefront will remain open,and the pedestrian access gate fromNeed-ham Theater to the parking lot will alsoremain open.With parking at a premium, those who

work in buildings near theNEXand com-missary are asked to park in other lotsand not near the shopping complex.Detour signs will be installed to guide

traffic in the area.The project was initially supposed to

have begun in January and would havebeen finished by now, but federal budgetissues delayed its start date to April.When completed, Addor Avenue will

be a clearly marked roadway along theouter edge of the NEX and commissaryparking lot, and stalls in the parking lotwill be angular instead of perpendicularto clarify the direct direction of travel.

Fourth of July, Independence Day, ournation’s birthday: a holiday full of pic-nics, fireworks and a shortened workweek.In preparation for this column, I re-

turned to my history books for a re-fresher on Independence Day. In doingso, I discovered I am not ready for “AreYou Smarter than a Fifth Grader?” onthis topic.How is your Independence Day knowl-

edge?Did you know…• Initially the Continental Congress

did not seek independence from Eng-land, but rather representation in Parlia-ment on the affairs of the colonies?• Independence Day did not become

a national holiday until 1941?• The Declaration of Independence

was first signed on July 4, 1776, byThomas Jefferson but was not signed byall the congressional representatives un-til mid-August?• Signing the Declaration of Indepen-

dence was an act of treason, punishableby death?• France became an ally in our strug-

gle for independence by supplying arms,naval support and munitions in ourbattle for independence?• John Hancock penned his name large

so Great Britain’s King Charles could“read it without spectacles?”• While the Declaration of Indepen-

dence was signed in July-August 1776,the first shots of battle were fired April18-19, 1775, made famous by the rideof Paul Revere?• The Revolutionary War for Indepen-

dence was fought by an all volunteerforce?

• The Revolutionary War was foughtfrom 1775 through 1783, ending withthe signing of the Treaty of Paris onSept. 3, 1783 — a duration of eightyears?• George Washington surrendered his

commission as General of the Army onDec. 23, 1783, stating he would takeleave “of all employments of publiclife?”• Washington became president of the

United States in 1789?Taking time to revisit the history of

our nation, the struggle for indepen-dence and the forging of a new nationand a new government caused me toagain marvel that a rag-tag group ofvolunteers could defeat the British andestablish a country that would rise tothat of a superpower. We’re a blessednation, we live in a blessed time. Oh,sure, gas prices are too high and homeprices are dropping, but we all still haveour cell phones, computers, and HDTVsand SUVs. 9/11 seems long ago, and welive with a feeling of relative safety.It also caused me to take a fresh look

at Iraq and Afghanistan. It took our na-

tion from 1774 (meeting of the firstContinental Congress) to 1789 for ourfirst president to be elected and 1790 forthe last state (Rhode Island) to ratifythe constitution — a span of 16 years.Unity and national identity take time,even in a day and age of Internet, cableTV and cell phones.We value our independence and free-

dom — and we should. We enjoy a richheritage passed down from those whowere willing to sacrifice their personalpursuit of “life, liberty and happiness”so that those who follow were free forthat very pursuit. As military families,of an all volunteer force, we share in thatheritage.Have a great holiday weekend. Enjoy

time with your family and friends andthe spectacular fireworks — and thankyou for your service to preserve ourheritage of freedom and indepen-dence.— Questions or comments for Beth?

Moving every 2.9 years often meanslearning a new culture with every move.Schools have a culture— every state, everycounty, every school district has differentways of doing things.If you are new to Naval Base Ventura

County, here are some tips and bits ofinformation that you may find are differ-ent than the school you left.

School registrationMany schools, especially elementary and

middle schools, will close during themonth of July and sometimes intoAugust.This may mean that families will need toregister in August before school starts, orit may mean that families will register atthe school district. The NBVC school li-aison officer has more information oneach school district near NBVC and theirsummer registration process.

Whooping cough vaccineFor the 2011-12 school year, a new state

law now requires that all incoming stu-dents in seventh through 12 grades get awhooping cough booster shot, calledTdap, before entering school. Students

who have not received this booster shotprior to the beginning of the school yearwill not be allowed to start school. Thisnew immunization requirement is intend-ed to help reduce the spread of whoopingcough disease among California’s youth.In recent years, California, as well as therest of the United States, has seen an in-crease in the number of whooping coughcases. In 2010, California experienced thehighest number of reported cases in morethan 60 years.

Class assignmentsTypically, elementary schools will post

class assignments in the front of the schoolthe week prior to school’s start. Middleschools will typically hand out the stu-dents’ schedules the first day of school— some may have an orientation day oneweek prior. High schools will usually havea student schedule pick-up day the weekprior to school’s beginning— a day of theweek assigned to each grade level.

Supplemental programs andextracurricular activities

Depending on grade level and district,many supplemental programs have beencut from the schools’ programs. Manyelementary schools no longer have gymclass, art class or music/band. Those thatdo pay for it through parent fundraisingand community foundations. This doesn’tmean that your child will not have the op-portunity to participate in physical educa-tion, art or music. Typically, the regularclassroom teacher will integrate it into thedaily curriculum. Students in middleschool and high school will have gym class

required and art/music will often be oneof the elective courses. Sports and extra-curricular activities are offered at themiddle schools and high schools; how-ever, parents may be asked to help fundtheir child’s participation in such pro-grams.

Dress codeDress codes vary within the districts

here in Ventura County. Some elemen-tary and middle schools have a uniformrequirement. Others, including highschools, have dress code policies forbid-ding certain clothing items. Most middleschools and high schools do not allow anyclothing representing a professional sportsteam. However, many will encourage col-lege teams logos; some schools will allowcollege attire every day and others willencourage it on certain days. Since eachschool has a unique dress code policy, itis best to check with your student’s schoolbefore the first day of school.

Worship scheduleSome of my greatest memories in life

are from my summer camp days — mytime as a camper and counselor for numer-ous summers. Like other fortunate grown-ups who are also camp alumni, we wouldlove nothingmore than to pass this uniqueexperience to the next generation of kidswe love and care for.For those who have never attended sum-

mer camp, it is hard to explain why eatinga S’mores — a combination of chocolateandmarshmallows squished between twograham crackers over a campfire— is oneof the greatest culinary treats ever invent-ed by man.Or perhaps the best experience of all is

simply for one to get away fromhomeworkand be with his or her best mates for acouple of weeks at a rustic cabin in thewoods. Instead of their mastering longdivision or the multiplication tables, theycan focus on other important skills, like

how to build a campfire, shoot a bow andarrow, or catch and clean a fish for theircabin’s fish fry.Looking back, maybe themost valuable

lesson I learned at camp is how to live withother people, in close quarters, who aredifferent than I am. I recall we had camp-ers from the inner cities as well as thosefrom the suburbs. Althoughwe began eachnew session warily checking each otherout, by the end of camp we became goodbuddies by staying up late at night, laugh-ing at silly jokes, playing sports againstother campers and listening to classic

campfire tales.This summer I want to offer an invita-

tion to families who have kids to join usfor this year’s Vacation Bible School. Thisis a wonderful day camp opportunity,along with the normal fun and games,where theywill also learn something aboutthe timeless values of faith and family.While this week is not an overnight

event, it will still be a tremendous time foryour youngsters to make new friends andlaugh and play for awhile before schoolbegins again in the fall.If you are interested in sending your

children to ourNaval Base Ventura Coun-ty Chapel Vacation Bible School, or if youwant to know what spiritual themes willbe presented at VBS this summer, pleasecall Tammy Baca at 805-844-9575. Thisweeklong event is open to children be-tween the ages of 3 and 12; each day willbe from 9 a.m. to noon Aug. 8-12. Thelocation of this event will be at the Chapelof Faith, Point Mugu.Registration is open now and continues

through Aug. 1. Hope to see some of youthere.Have a great summer. God bless you!

Quick! Howmuch is 15minutes of yourtime worth?If you said “$300,” you’re right, thanks

to Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society’sQuick Assist Loan (QAL) program.The QAL program is the Society’s al-

ternative to high-interest payday loans.With an application process of just 15minutes, it offers the same speed and easeof a payday loan, without any of thestigma or risks associated with predatoryloans.The QAL is a need-based, no-interest

loan designed to help with basic livingexpenses, transportation and vehicle re-pairs, medical and dental costs and fam-ily emergencies that can confront us all.Ben Franklin once said, “Beware of

little expenses; a small leak will sink agreat ship.” Think of a QAL as the dam-age control plug that can fix the leak andallow the ship to remain afloat.With a maximum loan amount of $300

and requiring only an LES and an activeduty ID card as proof of obligated service,absence of fines and sufficient income torepay, the Quick Assist Loan is a lifesaver

for many Sailors andMarines. Only activeduty service members are eligible.One of the Society’s newest and most

successful offerings, the QAL program issimilar to all of the Society’s programs inthat Sailors andMarines do not need per-mission from their chain of command toobtain one; simply fill out the applicationon our web site or in an NMCRS office.A service member is allowed up to two

QALs per 12-month period. Funds areissued directly to the service member, notthe creditor. Repayment must be com-pleted within 10 months by allotment.In addition, the service member is al-

lowed only one outstanding QAL at atime.To make the entire process even easier,

NMCRS offices worldwide have arrangedfor local banks or merchants to cash theQAL check so overdraft fees never comeinto the picture.Because Navy-Marine Corps Relief So-

ciety has a mission of financial educationand helping service members achieve fi-nancial self-sufficiency, should a thirdQAL ever be needed, a spending evalua-tion is required.NMCRS Executive Vice President Jan

Gaudio says the Society is committed tocombating the dangers of predatory lend-ers. The QAL program is a critical com-ponent of that commitment.The program’s success has exceeded all

expectations. Over the last five years, theSociety has documented a 75 percentdownturn in the number of requests forassistance related to repayment of preda-tory loans, thanks in part to the QALprogram.Last year, more than 50,000 Sailors and

Marines took advantage of the Society’sQuick Assist Loan program.For more information on this program,

call 982-4409.

Avoid predatory lenders; use Quick Assist Loan program

Now that the wreckage has been removed, restorationwork is under way on the wetlands at Naval Base Ven-tura County, PointMugu, where a Boeing 707 refuelingtanker crashed on takeoff May 18.Once the National Transportation Safety Board com-

pleted its on-site investigation into the non-injury crash,it took about a week for crews to cut apart the tail sec-tion, wing and fuselage and make sure all debris wasremoved from the bog.“From our perspective, this crash happened in the

worst place possible,” said Dave “Moe” Mosley, theemergency response manager for Patriot EnvironmentalServices, the company hired by the plane’s owner to re-move the wreckage. “First, it’s on a federal base. Second,it’s in a marsh. Third, it’s at the end of a runway thatpeople need. And fourth, it’s in a place where there areendangered species.”Mosley’s job was to get the wreckage out quickly and

carefully.First, all hazardous wastes had to be removed.Mosley

said crews drained the jet fuel in the one remaining wing,but they also had to find and de-energize bottles of ha-lon, a gas carried on aircraft to extinguish engine fires,and the oxygen bottles that provide an emergency supplyto the crew. They also had to drain the hydraulic fluidin the landing gear.To begin removing the debris, which was slowly sink-

ing into the bog, the crews had to build a “road” for theheavy equipment that would pull apart the plane and

dump the pieces into a truck to be hauled off. Mosleysaid large metal mats were stretched across the wetlandsso that could be accomplished.At one point, Patriot employees wearing waders had

to work in chest-high muck pulling out pieces of de-bris.“I’ll tell you, those three guys were sore the next day,”

Mosley said.Once the heavy equipment began ripping up the plane,

work went quickly. The entire tail section was removedin just a few hours, then work shifted to the fuselage andthe one wing that wasn’t destroyed in the crash and en-suing fire.Patriot, which recently completed severalmonths’work

helping to clean up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,had about 20 employees working at the PointMugu site.Also there were representatives of the CaliforniaDepart-ment of Fish & Game, the Coast Guard and environ-mental staff from NBVC Public Works.“This was an extraordinary effort,” said Valerie Var-

tanian, one of the base environmental staff membersmonitoring the work. “Now that the wreckage is gonethe next steps are to remediate the site, then to restorethe habitat that was there before the crash. It may be afew years before we see all of the plants and marsh or-ganisms return to the site.”Endangered species in the area include the light-foot-

ed clapper rail and the western snowy plover.

Wreckage gone; restoration underway at crash site


As Cmdr. Michael Obermiller, Naval Base Ventura CountyPublic Works officer, listens, Dave “Moe” Mosley,emergency response manager for Patriot EnvironmentalServices, explains to Capt. David Sasek, NBVC’s chief staffofficer, why the wreckage removal was a complicated job.

BU3 Joshua Eide of Naval MobileConstruction Battalion 4, says goodbye tohis spouse, Ashley, before boarding a busthat will take him to Naval Base VenturaCounty, Point Mugu, where he’ll get ona plane for Afghanistan. The two will bemarried two years in December. “We’ll missour second anniversary,” said Ashley, who’smoving in with her parents in Ventura whileher husband is deployed.


Naval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 4, a group of Seabees that theirexecutive officer described as experiencedand knowing what’s expected, has arrivedin Afghanistan for a seven-month deploy-ment.Two-thirds of the battalion — the last

from,” he said that day as the battalionwaited atNaval BaseVenturaCounty, PortHueneme, to take buses to Point Mugu,where they would catch a plane to Af-ghanistan. “We’re going to a different partof the country, but it’s the same mission.It’s the same type of construction — for-ward operating bases, roadwork.Most ofus are very familiar with the terrain, therisks and the work.”Hendricks said this is NMCB 4’s fifth

Central Command deployment in a row.“Anyone who’s been with this battalion

for three or four years has also deployed

that many times,” he said.For some, there have been a lot more

deployments than that.Steelworker 1st Class KeithMoore was

leaving on his ninth deployment sincemar-rying and starting a family almost 12 yearsago. He spent the last few minutes sittingon his tailgate with his spouse, Jen, 11-year-old Tyson and 6-year-old Tait beforegetting into formation to board the bus.

“I’m just soaking up all the time I canspend together with them,” he said.Builder 2nd Class Michael Hartman,

leaving on his fifth deployment, andBuild-er 2nd Class Robert Gurin, leaving on hisfourth, spent their last few minutes hold-ing their sons.A.J. Hartman is 16 months old, and

Jerry Spencer, Gurin’s son, is 8.“Me and him, we’re really attached now

so this time it’s tough,”Gurin said as Spen-cer played with his father’s cap.Utilitiesman 2nd Class Mark Yancey

was leaving on his third deployment sincemarrying Heather almost 11 years ago.She and their children, Morgan, 9, andCaleb, 4, joined him for the departure,along with his parents, Chuck and Ma-rie.“It’s kind of scary, but I’m feeling a

little bit better because we have more con-nections on the base,” said Morgan,sounding much older than 9. “This timewe have a lot more support, and we knowa lot more about what to expect.”FOCUS, an organization on base that

ing on his third deployment — his last, hesaid.“No more deployments for me,” he said

as he hugged his spouse of seven months,Gaby. “I thought I’d get used to it, but Ihaven’t.”He plans to go to school and study nutri-

tion.With all the goodbyes said, the Seabees

gathered in front of the buses to stand information.One goodbye, however, wasn’t over.One-year-old BraedenWesoloski toddled

onto the tarmac and made a beeline for hisdad, Builder 3rd Class JustinWesoloski. Asthe other Seabees watched, smiling, Weso-loski hugged his son one more time, thenturned him over to mom, Aubrey.When the formal procession was over,

after each company had called out “All pres-ent and accounted for,” the Seabees let outa giant “Hoo-rah, Four!” boarded the bus-es and left.


One-year-old Braeden Wesoloski, not yet ready to say goodbye, toddles out to his dad, BU3 Justin Wesoloski, who is already in thearea where Seabees gather in formation before boarding buses that will take them to Point Mugu for flights to Afghanistan. MomAubrey quickly gathered Braeden up after one last hug.

Three-year-old Andrew Little was tooyoung to realize that on his recent visit toSan Nicolas Island (SNI), he saw a shell-fish so rare it’s considered critically en-dangered.He was too young to know that the

hulking, windowless building he passedon the island was a Cold War relic thatused to be one of the most top-secretplaces in the United States.But he wasn’t too young to get a thrill

out of sliding down a 50-foot sand dune,squealing with glee.And that was the beauty of Family

Weekend at SNI — everybody findingsomething unusual and fun to share withtheir friends and family members whowork on the 3-by-9-mile windswept rock65 miles south of Naval Base VenturaCounty, Point Mugu.From June 17-20, nearly 60 guests of

military and civilian personnel stayed onthe island that has been part of NBVCsince 2004.With few exceptions, these arethe only days of the year guests are al-lowed on SNI and the only time childrenyounger than 12 are allowed.“This is a chance for the people who

work and live on the island to show offthe place,” said Lt. Cmdr. Scott Strader,officer in charge of SNI. “These peoplehave a lot of pride in what they do.”Among the guests was Andrew, whose

mom, Annie, is a biologist with U.S. Fishand Wildlife who has worked on severalprojects on the island. Little and her hus-band, Zach, Andrew and his 5-year-oldsisterHannahwere the guests of NAVAIR

ecologist Grace Smith, who has workedon the island for more than 20 years.In the military, SNI is known as a key

component of the Sea Test Range. It’swhere test missiles are launched andwhereclassified operations can be conducted farfrom the eyes and ears of populated ar-eas.But to the general public, SNI is known

as one of the eight Channel Islands, hometo thousands of sea lions and some en-dangered species and the place made fa-mous in the 1960 children’s book, “TheIsland of the Blue Dolphins,” by ScottO’Dell.

That’s the island that is shared withvisitors onFamilyWeekend. In fact, Strad-er picked June 17-20 for this year’s eventbecause the tides — extremely low justbefore summer solstice — were ideal fora morning tidepool visit. That gave fami-lies ample time to explore Corral Harbor,which, along with other parts of the SNIshoreline, is the only place in the worldwhere the numbers of the federally endan-gered black abalone are increasing. It’salso home to dozens of sea stars, anemo-nes, crabs, limpets, sea urchins and theslimy, slug-like sea hare.“Why do they call it a sea hare?” a

youngster askedNAVAIRmarine biologistJohn Ugoretz, who led a tidepool tour onSunday morning.“Because he has bunny ears,” Ugoretz

replied.Ugoretz has worked on SNI for nearly

two years, usually coming out when mili-tary operations and missile test launchestake place to make sure marine mammalsaren’t harmed. For more than an hour, heand Smith deciphered the tidepool’s mys-

teries, pointing out such creatures asDeadMan’s Fingers and coralline algae, a sim-ple algae that unites to form somethingthat looks like coral — a megacity of al-gae.The day before, Ugoretz and Smith had

taken about 40 of the visitors to one ofthe island’s favorite stops, a massive sanddune that kids — and a few fit adults —could climb and then slide down.While the adults debated what would

make the best sand sled — cardboardsquares and ice-cooler tops weren’t cuttingit — someone stopped by with a boogieboard and a snow coaster, answering thequestion. Youngsters sailed down the duneon both, and the bravest adults surfeddown on the boogie board.Afterwards, Ugoretz and Smith drove

the visitors to Rock Crusher Point, withits odd rock formations, and then on toBarge Landing, home to dozens of bark-ing sea lions and some harbor and ele-phant seals.Along the way, Ugoretz offered up sev-

eral island factoids:• The palm trees that are scattered across

the island aren’t native. They were plant-

ed by the PublicWorksDepartment manyyears ago to mark the location of naturalsprings.• San Nicolas Island foxes have no nat-

ural predators because the island is so farfrom shore and because there are so fewtrees and therefore no large raptors. How-ever, a few foxes skittered across the road-way as Ugoretz was driving — “They’renot very smart about vehicles,” he said— and there are signs all across the islandreminding drivers to keep an eye out forthe creatures. Roadside brush is mowedregularly to help drivers see the animalsbefore they jump out onto the roadway.The foxes on each of the Channel Islandsare unique to that island; therefore, SanNicolas Island is the only place in theworld that is home to the San Nicolas Is-land Fox. While the foxes are federallyendangered onmost of the other ChannelIslands, San Nicolas boasts a healthypopulation.• SNI has several relics of the ColdWar,

including amonitoring station for SOSUS,a sound surveillance system that was partof a chain of underwater listening posts

Annual event lets families experience San Nicolas lifestyleCONTINUED FROM 12

created to track Soviet submarines. Todaythe windowless building that once housedthat top-secret station is used as officespace for Smith, Ugoretz and other ecol-ogists, biologists and archeologists.When the island tour was over, guests

headed back to the hub of the island,NickTown, where the military personnel live.It includes the galley, a theater, a chapel,a gym, a separate workout facility withpool and exercise equipment and astore.There’s also the Launch Pad, a lounge

and entertainment center where Morale,Welfare and Recreation served up barbe-cued tri-tip and ribs on Saturday after-noon.The weekend activities included a

bounce house for kids and volleyball inthe gym. MWR loaned out fishing polesand bicycles. On both Friday and Saturdaynights, the Ventura band Alchemy playedin the Launch Pad.Severalmovies were shown in the theater

over the weekend, and on Sunday night,MWRhosted another feast— this one an

Italian dinner and ice cream social — fol-lowed by bingo.Outside of the planned activities, some

families took the opportunity to enjoyspending time together, getting to knowother workers on the island that their lovedones live and work with.“I’ve been here for two years, and I re-

ally wanted my family to see where Iwork,” said Ship’s Serviceman RustyGatchalian, who invited his brother, Ro-

lando, and his brother’s family to the is-land. “It’s hard for them to picture it.”Steve Chung, the community planning

liaison officer forNavyRegion Southwest,said he had a good idea of what the islandlooked like even though he’d never beenthere before Family Weekend.“I don’t know how many times my

daughter has read ‘Island of the BlueDol-

phins,’” he said of 10-year-old Amber.“She’d given me a good description, so Ihad a leg up on that.”He called the weekend “spectacular,”

and Amber agreed that it was fun, espe-cially the tidepools.“The island is both tranquil and excit-

ing,” Chung said. “This will go down asone of my favorite Father’s Days.”


Getting kids to quit hamming it up for the camera was a common theme during SNI FamilyWeekend, experienced here at Rock Crusher Point by CS1 Misty McMasters and her 5-year-old son, Marquis.

Eight teams, twice as many as last year,competed in the 2011Naval Base VenturaCounty Battle of Commands, a two-dayeventmade up of 11 competitions rangingfrom the human slip-n-slide to a tug-o-warto a sandcastle-building contest.“We haven’t had this many teams com-

pete in a long time,”saidAmandaHaskell,special events coordinator for Morale,Welfare and Recreation, which organizedthe event. “This is a really good show-ing.”Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 30

(VX-30), whose team nickname was ThePatriots, repeated its 2009 victory, edgingout the Fleet Readiness Center’s (FRC)Haoles.The Mod Squad, one of two teams

fielded by the 31st Seabee ReadinessGroup (SRG), came in third.Next up was the 2010 winner, Naval

Branch Health Center, The Shipwrecks,followed by the second 31st SRG team,Hawaii 5-0.Coming in sixth wasNavalMobile Con-

struction Battalion 5’s team, the MotherTruckers; seventh was the Tiki-Tiki Teamof the Airborne Command Control andLogistics Wing (ACCLOGWING); andeighth was the NBVC team, the N9ers.Competition started Thursday, June 16,

with the human slip-n-slide. Members ofeach team slid down a soap-slickened stripof plastic on an inner tube. There was athree-way tie at 90 feet, but the showstop-per was Aviation Electronics TechnicianAirman John Masters of FRC, whopopped one of the inner tubes after goingairborne at the start of the course. Theteam argued for extra style points but losttheir case; in the end, VX-30 collected themost number of points in that event.Two aquatics races also took place

Thursday at the Seabreeze Pool at NBVCPort Hueneme: an inner tube relay, inwhich competitors had to swim across thepool wearing a long dress, scarf, purse andinner tube; and a boat race involving rafts,cold sprays of water, an inflatable sharkand the ability to row. VX-30 and FRCtied the inner tube relay; the Mod Squadwon the boat race because they pulled theinflatable shark into their raft, collectingextra points.(This was a new experience for the shark.

MWR had purchased it earlier in the dayto replace the one that did not survive lastyear’s spirited competition.)

Brandy Olmstead yelled out as she placedthe last piece and led her team, the ModSquad of 31st SRG, to a victory in thatheat. VX-30, however ended up winningthe overall obstacle course competition.There was also a water run relay and a

race to build a human pyramid out of 10people — and hold the position for 10seconds.Hawaii 5-Owon the water run relay, but

the Mother Truckers’ captain, Construc-tionMechanic 2nd Class JoshuaNorrick,had a good excuse as to why NMCB 5didn’t.Wearing a bandana with a long wigattached, Norrick tossed back his locksand explained, “Gotta keep the hairdry.”ACCLOGWING won the human pyr-

amid contest.Next was the beach flags, which result-

Histeamwent on towin, withHospital Corps-man 3rd Class Steven Alnes grabbing thelast flag standing.Following that was Izzy-Dizzy, a relay

race involving extremely dizzy contestants,and a seven-legged race. VX-30 won IzzyDizzy and tied with FRC in the seven-legged race.While each competition was taking

place, other teammembers were buildingsandcastles further down the beach. Thewinner was FRC, which clinched the titleafter releasing live turtles on the “islands”of Hawaii.The last event of the day was a tug-of-

war. The Mod Squad squeaked past Ha-waii 5-O, earning a five-point edge byhaving a female on the team.Points were also given for the team

theme and banner.The first Battle of Commands took

place on base in 1988, and it has been heldsporadically ever since, becoming a regu-lar event in 2007. In 2003, it was a specialone-day “Welcome Home Troops” eventand 19 teams took part, with UnderwaterConstruction Team 2 winning firstplace.

Friday, July 22, from 4 to 10 p.m., although themuseum will not be open.Admission and parking are free.A free shuttle will take visitors from the Seabee

Days events to the new museum, which is outsidethe gates on Ventura Road. The shuttle station willbe at the corner of 23rd Avenue and Harris Streetand will run during museum hours, 9 a.m. to 5p.m. Saturday and Sunday.At the museum, visitors will see NEMO, the

Naval ExperimentalMannedObservatory that wasbuilt at Port Huenememore than four decades agoby the Naval Civil Engineering Lab, now the Na-val Facilities Engineering Service Center.“The pilot could take an engineer to the floor

of the ocean to oversee the Underwater Construc-tion Team divers lay cable on the ocean floor,”explained Lara Godbille, director of the museum.“It allowed the engineers who developed the cablesystems to see how their equipment was workingunderwater. Until NEMO, they had no ability tosee or communicate with the divers.”NEMO traveled to a depth of 614 feet with

people in it, and after it became obsolete, it wasparked outside the submarine ride at Disneyland.It weighs more than two tons.“This exhibit tells the story of the Ocean Fa-

cilities Program, and it’s a story that has neverbeen told before in the SeabeeMuseum,”Godbillesaid. “In the late 1960s, the Navy was laying cableall over the world and pushing for deep water ex-ploration. This represents the underwater versionof the space race.”

Seabee Days, July 23-24 with MilitaryNight July 22, celebrates nearly 70 yearsof accomplishments by the Navy’s con-struction engineers. Events include hands-on displays and demonstrations of con-struction and disaster recovery skills andstatic displays of some of the latest inconstruction equipment.Activities include:• Carnival: Hours will be 4 to 10 p.m.

Friday, Military Night, for active dutypersonnel and their families; noon to 10p.m. Saturday; and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sun-day.
