I encourage your letters so I can keepabreast of your concerns and assess our performance inmeeting the needs of our Shipmates, their families, civil-ian and contract employees, retired service membersand the visitors to our installations.I am also an avid reader of NBVC on Facebook, and

Renovation of the building complexthat is home to the Point Mugu NavyExchange, Point Mugu Gym and sev-eral retail establishments is scheduledto begin later this month.The work involves the exterior of the
buildings, including storm drains, walk-ways and storefronts. The interiors willremain the same, and all the businesseswill be open regular hours during theconstruction project, which is expectedto take six months.“The biggest issue we are going to
have with this project is ensuring pub-lic safety,” said Carrie Wyrick, con-
struction manager with Public Works.“Due to the nature of this project andthe lack of alternative entrances tomost of the businesses affected, we willnot be able to put a physical boundarybetween the public and the constructionsite.“It is therefore imperative that people
stay on the sidewalk and minimize in-trusion to the construction site.”Some of the parking spots closest to
the complex will also be inaccessibleduring construction.The complex, known as Building 16,
was built in 1950.
The project includes repairing andpainting the wood siding and stucco,louvers, stormwater gutters and down-spouts; replacing the covered walkwaystructure; and updating the exterior andlandscape lighting with more energy-efficient systems.In addition, the storm drainage sys-
tem will be improved so that rainwaterdoesn’t flood the walkways in the court-yard area.Construction will also include a
screen wall, handicap-accessible ramp,and a central heating and air-condition-ing system for the retail shops.

I want to talk about something everymilitary spouse should have: a plan!
I have a seasoned spouse friend whoalways says, “It is not ‘if ’ something willhappen while he is gone, it’s definitely‘when!’” And she should know.In 26 years of military spousedom, this
spouse has been through a hurricane onthe East Coast, wildfires on the WestCoast, an earthquake, a blizzard, an un-expected personal hospitalization, the hotwater heater breaking and flooding herfirst floor, a child breaking his leg andmuch more — all while he was gone. It’sMurphy’s Law of Deployment.If you have children, youmay know that
our Sailors with children are required todevelop a Family Care Plan. This plan isto provide for your children in the eventthat you were unable to care for them,whether because of an unexpected hospi-talization or other event. OurMarines andSailors train hard so that in the midst ofthe mission they already knowwhat to do“in case.”The Family Care Plan does thatfor you. In the event your children needcare, that plan is already in place and youknow who to call — and they know they
are your “go to” person. That plan re-duces stress.But those with children are not the only
ones needing a plan!If you are stranded on the side of the
road, your car disabled, who will you callto assist you? If you wake up with a highfever, very sick and need to go to the emer-gency room, whowill you call to take you?If you are delayed getting home fromwork, who will care for your dog?Please take time this weekend to con-
sider and develop an emergency plan foryourself and review your care plan foryour children (and pets).
As you plan, please understand thatyour Ombudsman and/or Family Readi-ness Officer are committed to supportingyou, yourMarine and your plan. But thereare things they legally cannot do. Legallythey cannot drive you to the hospital; theycannot legally care for your children. Theycan and will help you execute your planbut are not legally able to “be” the plan.So what does a viable plan look like?• Short term, immediate support: Who
can you call on short notice? It can be yourneighbor, another spouse in the unit, amember of your church or softball team.You need their phone number and address,they need to know yours and that youwant to call upon them— and that you’llbe there for them. Put their number inyour cell phone and put “ICE” in front oftheir name— “In Case of Emergency.” Ifyou put “.ice” the listing will appear at thetop of your phone directory and otherscan quickly identify who to call on yourbehalf. Emergency personnel routinely usethis, and so can we.• Put your plan on paper: Place this on
your fridge. Things to add on this list (withname, location and contact info): local
caregivers for your pets and children, yourdoctor(s), any medications you or yourchildrenmust have, and family out of stateto be notified. Emergency response per-sonnel will look on your refrigerator forclues for contact persons.• Copy others: Copy your FRO and/or
Ombudsman on your list.While they can-not drive you to the hospital or pick youup from the side of the road, they canassist with executing your plan if you arenot able or need assistance.• Review your plan regularly. I’d love to
see us do that at the change of each sea-son, but at least every six months review,update and redistribute as needed.If you, like many of us, don’t know any-
one, please attend spouse events, join agroup you enjoy (softball team, walkinggroup, off base or on base), find a church,walk your neighborhood and get to knowyour neighbors. You can do it and youwillsleep so much better knowing that you“Have a Plan.”

Operation Prepare is Navy RegionSouthwest’s family emergency prepared-ness program. By preparing in advance, afamily is better equipped to respond in theevent of an emergency.Navy is often calledupon to assist in disasters throughout theworld and respond to many emergencies.It is essential that Navy families preparethemselves to be equipped to respond aswell.The Fleet & Family Support Center has
wonderful tools to help families preparein advance of a disaster. Additionally, itis important that families consider theirchildren’s schools in all emergency plan-ning.Operation Prepare suggests three simple
steps: Be informed, have a plan, andmakea kit. These three steps can also be takento ensure your children are prepared whileat school.
Be informed
Knowing what to do can make all thedifference when seconds count. Find outwhat the school’s disaster plan is.• If the school will be evacuated, where
will the students be taken and how willthey be transported?• If you live on base, will your regular
school transportation be available? Willyour carpool driver or the school bus haveaccess?• Has the school discussed emergency
plans with the students?
Have a plan
Consider the range of possibilities andplaces you might be.
• Do you have a backup plan if youare unable to pick up your child fromschool?• Do you have local friends, family
or neighbors on your child’s emer-gency authorization form for yourchild to be released to?• Have you talked to your child
about possible plans, specifically con-sidering natural disasters common inyour local community?
Make a kit
Consider the basics of survival andalso special needs.• Does the school have water bottles
and basic essentials if children must“shelter in place?” How can you assistthe school in obtaining supplies?• Is the school notified of medical
conditions and have necessary medica-tions for your child?• Can you give your child an extra
water bottle or granola bar in a back-pack, lunch or to keep in their lockerin the event of an emergency?
Schools work hard to be preparedfor an emergency, but as parents, it isimportant that you are informed andprepared as well. Think of ways youcan help the schools and your childrento be best equipped to respond in anemergency.For more information about prepar-
ing your home and family for a disas-ter, contact the NBVC Fleet & Fam-ily Support Center at 982-5037.Offering literature and classes inemergency preparedness, the FFSCcan connect you to essential resourc-es.In support of the anti-terrorism ex-
ercise Citadel Shield, gate closureswill be in effect March 22 and 23.Please refer to Page 1 for more infor-mation if you have school childrenand live on board NBVC.

As Naval Mobile Construction Battal-ion 5’s deployment draws down, as theevening sun sets, we recall the many gor-geous sunrises and enthralling sunsets wewitnessed across the continents of Africaand Europe, emblematic of our positivecontribution to America’s global “Heartsand Minds” campaign.However, the daily world of a Seabee is
too real: endless training, demanding proj-ect deadlines,monotonous repetitive labor,the sweat, the angst and, yes, even tears.These stormy fronts within cause one
to really question: How positive was ourpresence overseas?Seabees wonder within and occasion-
ally question out loud, “Are we making adifference in this abstractly defined Glob-alWar on Terrorism?”Does the water wellwe just drilled make a difference when thevillagers break it two weeks after it is in-stalled? Will the local citizens utilize themodern maternity ward we are construct-ing, or will it remain vacant as they stub-bornly hold to thousands of years ofcustoms regarding childbirth? And theschools, who will come teach here whenwe leave?What will be taught inside thesewalls? How will these chalkboards bemarked, what politic will it speak?In the chaplain world, we speak of
marking individuals for good, sharingcompliments, speaking words of life andencouragement, spiritual speak-blessing.Seabees speak the language of hammerand saw, loader and roller. Their “markingof good” of our global friends and alliesis seen in placing concrete, building bridg-es, drilling wells, cutting roads and engi-neering air strips.Marked for good, the barren country-
side of Ethiopia. We have brought freshwater to an impoverished village. Thinkdesert, think hot, think fresh drinkingwater for the first time in this locale. Thecommunity is so taken by the new realitythat guards fromwithin the region are be-ing hired to help keep the well — well, afunctioning well!Marked for good, outside of Camp
Lemonnier, Djibouti. We reached out toa nearby orphanage through the simplic-ity of soccer matches, offering our heartsthrough our futbol skills with the hopethat Djiboutian and Somalian minds willsee that Americans are a worthy ally inthe global community.Marked for good, close to Dikhil, Dji-
bouiti. We completed a solar-poweredschool and laid the foundation for a med-ical facility whose mainmission is the safedelivery of newborn children. Estimatesare that every year, 500 Ethiopian, Soma-lian and Nomadic women will benefit
from the maternity ward.Marked for good, Acitrezza, Sicily. Be-
yond Sigonella, we reached out with as-sistance, extending helpful hands into afishing village with much-needed repairof a Catholic church. Behind the effort isthe conviction that the Sicilian partnershipwill enhance the view of America’s mili-tary presence in Europe.Marked for good,Dire-Dawa, Ethiopia.
As we completed the Gende-Gerardschoolhouse, we also finished the renova-tion of their playground, making it asafer and cleaner place. Our Seabees’ hardwork reminds us that schools and play-grounds are where children’s innocentdreams are born and precious passionsdiscovered.As NMCB 5’s last jet whisks west, our
Global War on Terrorism questions arelaid to rest. We have marked two conti-nents, dozens of communities and hun-dreds of newfound friends for good.
Are the Seabees making a difference? Chaplain finds out

Whatever happened to the po-tato lamp and the exploding vol-cano?The experiments in today’s sci-
ence fairs, even at the junior highschool level, are far more com-plex than in the past, and theneed for judges with backgroundsin physics, chemistry, botany andother sciences has never beengreater.That’s where the Navy comes
in.Naval Base Ventura County
and its tenant commands are of-ten asked to supply judges forlocal science fairs and the Ven-tura County Science Fair heldevery spring at theVenturaCoun-ty Fairgrounds.“I’m very thankful to have help
from the base,” said MichelleMullen, who coordinates an an-nual science fair at Santa ClaraSchool, a private K-8 school inOxnard. “Many of the people arevery knowledgeable in differentareas, and they share their exper-tise. It’s been great.”Nearly 30 judges volunteered
for this year’s science fair at San-ta Clara on Feb. 1, nearly all ofthem from the base,Mullen said.There were 84 experiments ondisplay by sixth-, seventh- andeighth-graders.The next day,more judges from
the Navy, including several fromNaval Surface Warfare Center,Port Hueneme Division, volun-teered at the Hueneme HighSchool Science Fair.At Santa Clara, an experiment
dealing with the oxidation ofsteel caught the attention of Avi-ation Machinist’s Mate SeniorChief Danielle Clevidence withNaval Operational Support Cen-ter (NOSC) Port Hueneme.Construction Electrician 1st
Class Richard Simbre of the 31stSeabee Readiness Group judgedan experiment titled, “Does caf-feine affect your typing skills?”AndAviation Electronics Tech-
nician 1st Class Christina Tanlistened intently as seventh-grad-er Michael Laut discussed hisexperiment, “Which brand of
bottled water is the purest and isit better than tap water?”“They’re very smart kids,”Tan
said.Construction Electrician Chief
Lynn Rodriguez of Naval Facili-ties Expeditionary Logistics Cen-ter was enjoying her third year ofjudging.“I like interacting with the stu-
dents and seeing what they comeup with,” she said.Among the displays she saw
that day was one titled, “Dancingraisins: What happens to raisinswhen they’re dropped in a cup of
soda?” and another titled,“Which type of food wrappingswill keep apples the freshest?”Simbre said it’s been years
since he’s been to a sciencefair.“I wanted to see how it’s done
these days,” he said. “I have twokids, and I want to be able toshow them what’s going on andmaybe help.”His kids are only 5, so Simbre
will need to keep judging forawhile.And that’s just fine with sci-
ence fair coordinators.

More than a dozen volunteersfrom the Naval Branch HealthClinic Dental Department at Na-val Base Ventura County visiteda Ventura elementary school lastmonth to offer some lessons indental care.But with the school being one
of the highest achieving in Cali-fornia, the message had to con-tain a lot more than just “Brushyour teeth.”So Lt. Jeremy Patelzick, dental
clinic division officer, put togeth-er 20-minute programs for eachgrade level, with first-graders“seeing” germs under a blacklight so they’d understand theimportance of washing theirhands, and fifth-graders beingshown photos of sports injuriesand oral cancers so they’d under-stand the importance of mouthguards and steering away fromcigarettes and oral tobacco.“We’ve done programs like this
for the military day care centers,”Patelzick said. “With FebruarybeingNational Children’s DentalHealth Month, we thought we’dbring it out into the communi-ty.”
Patelzick chose Mound Ele-mentary School in Ventura be-cause it’s the school his son at-tends, and first-grade teacherTina Tyner was appreciative.“Children need good awareness
of gum disease and the need towash their hands,” she said. “Andit’s good to get that reminderfrom someone other than Momor Dad.”Patelzick kicked off the first-
graders’ presentation by havingthe youngsters play catch with astuffed animal. What they didn’tknow was that he’d sprayed thetoy with “Glo Germ,” whichshows up only under a blacklight. Afterwards, the childrenput their hands under the blacklight and saw the residue— a les-son in germ transmission.“That’s why your parents want
you to wash your hands,” Patel-zick explained. “If you have aloose tooth and youwiggle it withyour finger, look what’s gettingin your mouth.”
Then came the anatomy les-son.“When you’re a kid, you have
20 teeth before your start losingthem,” Patelzick told them.“When you’re an adult, howmanydo you have?”The answers flew out.“24?” “60!” “100 and some-
thing? I forget.”The answer was 32.Over in a fifth-grade classroom,
Lt. Adam Kochendorfer raisedthe “yuck” factor, showing pho-tos of mouths that had sustainedsports injuries because there wasno mouth guard to protect thelips and teeth, and mouths thathad been ravaged by cancer andother diseases due to cigarettesmoking, oral tobacco and lackof basic dental care.He asked the class how many
were wearing orthodontic bracesand about a quarter of the stu-dents raised their hands. Then hestressed the importance of floss-ing and using proxy brushes,
showing photos of white-speckedteeth damaged by acid buildingup behind the braces.“Prevention is the key,”he said.
“Everything else is too little toolate. The whole key is to preventyou from being in my chair.”Patelzick called the visit a suc-
cess and said he hoped to bringthe lesson to other schools inVentura County.

Imagine yourself relaxing after a longday of teaching students at the NavalConstruction Training Center, Port Hue-neme. You are tired and well-deservingof some quality time with your family.After dinner, you fall onto your couch
and flip on the television. While surfingthrough channels you stop to watch apopular series on the History Channel,“American Pickers,” about Mike Wolfeand Frank Fritz, two men who scour thenation’s junkyards, barns and garages insearch of hidden gems of antiquity.It was impossible for Builder 1st Class
(SCW) JasonMay to prepare himself for
what he was about to see. At George’sMarina in Dover, Del., Wolfe and Fritzfound a purple silk pillow with an em-broidered Seabee logo.May told Builder 1st Class (SCW/FMF)
Juan Selvera about the January episode,and Selvera saw it for himself a few dayslater.“Once I saw the pillow, I knew that I
had to have it,” Selvera said.“American Pickers” had traced the pil-
low to the island of Saipan. It was a giftto a Seabee fighting against the Japaneseduring World War II.May suggested to Selvera that he con-
tact the “pickers” to see if they woulddonate it to the SeabeeMuseum at NavalBase Ventura County, Port Hueneme.“I contactedMikeWolfe and he agreed
to send it to me,”Selvera said. “I still can’tbelieve that we were able to get the pillow!I contacted the SeabeeMuseum and theywere very happy to accept the gift.”The Seabee pillow and a letter of au-
thenticity will soon be on display in theSeabeeMuseum. Next time you are in thearea, come visit this piece of Seabee his-tory.

Carrier Airborne Command and Con-trol Squadron 112 (VAW-112), theGoldenHawks, returned Sunday, Feb. 26, from asix-month deployment aboard USS JohnC. Stennis (CVN 74) in the Western Pa-cific and North Arabian Sea.“It’s great to be home,” said Lt. Cmdr.
Reginald Johnson, as he hugged his wife,Angela, and cuddled 16-month-old Jordan.His sons, Reggie, 5, and Ayden, 3, heldonto his legs as he tried to walk to themassive Hawkeye Country hangar at Na-val Base Ventura County, Point Mugu.Two members of the squadron became
fathers during the deployment.Lt. Cmdr. Kris Klaiber had his third
child, and four days later, Lt. (j.g.) JimFosshad his first.Klaiber was on board the Stennis when
his wife, Jill, went into labor, so Klaiberexperienced the birth of his daughter,Molly, over the phone.Four days later, however, the squadron
was in Bahrain, so Foss was able to watchhis wife, Sara, give birth to Caroline viaSkype. Sara’s doctors induced labor soFosscould be linked in for the birth.Klaiber and Foss weren’t the only ones
greeting a newmember of the family upontheir return.Cmdr. Paul Crump, commanding officer
of the squadron, was celebrating his birth-day along with his homecoming, and hiswife, Jennifer, had his present waiting forhim in the parking lot.Crump ended up swapping one high-fly-
ing vehicle for another: He drove homefrom Hawkeye Country in a brand newsilver Porsche Carrera.VAW-112 left PointMugu on July 28. In
addition to supporting the ground troopsin Iraq, the squadron coordinated surfacesurveillance and search and rescue ef-forts.Additional missions included air inter-
diction offensive and defensive counter aircontrol and communications relay.In all, the squadron flew 238 combat
sorties.The squadron amassed 1,671 hours on
330 flights and had 575 arrested land-ings.

TheGoldenHawks of Carrier AirborneCommand and Control Squadron 112(VAW-112) participated in a “crossing theline ceremony”during their just-complet-ed six month deployment.The crossing the line ceremony is a time-
honored naval tradition involving all shipsthat dare to cross the equator. King Nep-tune, god of the sea, has required for cen-turies that all ships crossing the equatorand into his kingdom cleanse their vesselsof infestations of polliwogs. A polliwogor “wog” is the term for the unclean sail-or, covered in a landlubbing city stench,who has never crossed the equator.The crossing the line ceremony is led by
“shellbacks” or Sailors who have crossedthe equator in the past. Once Sailors meetthe approval of King Neptune and DavyJones, they too become trusty shell-backs.Variations of becoming a shellback in-
clude becoming an emerald shellback— aSailor who crosses the equator while alsocrossing the prime meridian; and thegolden shellback— a Sailor who crossesthe equator while also crossing the inter-national dateline.Ninety-two personnel in the squadron
became shellbacks during the deploymentaboard USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74).

The squadron made history on Dec.18 by being the last U.S. Navy aircraftto leave Iraq, effectively ending the pres-ence of coalition forces there. For de-tails, read the March 22 edition of TheLighthouse.

BUELLTON — Six Seabees — threeeach from the 31st Seabee ReadinessGroup and Naval Mobile ConstructionBattalion (NMCB) 3—were recently rec-ognized by City of BuelltonMayor HollySierra in a proclamation of thanks fortheir support in the Jan. 12 rescue of amother and her two children from aman-gled BMW on Highway 101.The rescue occurred after a semi diesel
truck collided with the BMW and nearlypushed it off a bridge and into a 100-footravine.Equipment Operator 1st Class Frankie
Cruz, Construction Mechanic 2nd ClassMichael McCracken, Equipment Opera-tor Constructionman Clinton Roberts,ConstructionMechanic 2nd Class ShawnLegg, Construction Mechanic 2nd ClassBenjamin Mead, and Construction Me-chanic 3rd Class James Winters were re-turning from a training exercise in North-ern California and were the secondresponders on the scene.The highway was full of smoke and de-
bris, so the group pulled over to see if theycould assist. The Seabees were able to helpboth the California Highway Patrol andSanta Barbara County firefighter rescuersby securing the vehicle with an extendableboom forklift the groupwas bringing backto Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hue-neme.The Seabees held the forklift into posi-
tion under the vehicle long enough sorescuers could extract a 10-year-old girl,a 10-week-old baby and their mother.Sierra’s proclamation to rescuers was
delivered at the annual State of the Cityof Buellton Luncheon, held on Wednes-day, Feb. 29. Also receiving the proclama-tion were the firefighters, police, highwaypatrol and a Santa Maria City tow truckdriver whowas first on the scene andman-aged to secure his tow-line to the vehicle
until rescuers could arrive.All of the rescuers were called to the
stage one group at a time. When the Sea-bees were called to join them, more than100 people in attendance rose to their feetand cheered.“You expect rescue agencies to be there
for us when we are in trouble,” said Sierra,who started her term asmayor of Buelltonjust a month before the accident. “But toalso be fortunate to have Navy Seabeescome by when you need them most isamazing.”With NMCB 3 currently deployed to
Europe and Africa, the Seabees from thatunit who participated in the rescue wereunable to be at the ceremony. However,
their 31st SRG counterparts acceptedthe proclamation on their behalf withgratitude.Following the proclamation, the at-
torney for the rescued family thankedall of the rescuers. He explained thatwhile the family was not medically ableto travel, they were looking forward tothanking them all in person as soon aspossible.The family did send plaques for the
rescuers that showed a picture of thefamily and was engraved with commentsof their gratitude.Anyone interested in viewing all 17

level. NBVC is now in the running for asimilar award from the Secretary of theNavy.“This is a confirmation of the good
work the Environmental Division staff isperforming in supporting themission, andat the same time working in innovativeways to ensure accomplishment of ourcleanup program objectives,” said DanShide, installation environmental programdirector at NBVC.The nomination package not only de-
scribed themany ongoing projects on baseproperty— from groundwatermonitoringto wetlands restoration to the dredging ofthe Port of Hueneme— but also detailedthe cleanup effort after the May 18 crash
at Point Mugu of an aerial tanker loadedwith 155,000 pounds of jet fuel.The crash, which occurred just before
sunset, sparked an intense fire and jeop-ardized the entire 2,500-acre Mugu la-goon, an environmentally sensitive areathat is home to the endangered clapperrails and least terns and dozens of otherbirds and wetland species.Working throughout the night and bat-
tling thick smoke, spill response crews— including Seabees from Naval MobileConstruction Battalion 40 andUnderwa-ter Construction Team 2, as well as mili-tary personnel and contractors — racedto get ahead of the spreading jet fuel.Using skills learned during spill response
training drills, they installed oil-absorbentand oil-containment booms and plugged
culverts with sandbags.By dawn, the fire was out and the oil
had been contained to 79 acres.Working with other agencies, including
the Coast Guard and the California De-partment of Fish and Game, cleanupcrews drained 43,000 pounds of jet fuelthat remained in the wreckage and, usingskimmers, recovered the floating oil.Salvage operations were finally com-
pleted on June 15, when the focus shiftedto removing ash andmetallic slag covering1.5 acres.Remediation of the area took five
months, and in all that time, not one oil-slickened bird was found.“It is very likely that the cleanup effort
following the crash contributed to ourreceiving the award, although it is hard to
know for certain what put us over the top,”said Steve Granade, the environmentalengineer who helped write the nominationpackage.Another point mentioned was NBVC’s
strong relationship with the local com-munity on environmental issues. NBVCworks closely with the Calleguas CreekWatershed Committee to monitor runofffrom PointMugu, and it maintains an ac-tive Restoration Advisory Board thatworks closely with local leaders on envi-ronmental cleanup efforts.“The public now has a positive opinion
and better understanding of the Navy’scleanup efforts and its ultimate benefitsto the community, its people and the sur-rounding environment,” the nominationpackage stated.

Starting onFriday, Feb. 17, and continu-ing for up to fourweeks, the PortHuenemeWater Agency is temporarily supplyingNaval Base Ventura County (NBVC) withpotable water disinfected with chlorineinstead of the normal chloramines disin-fectant.This brief change in operation is due to
Metropolitan Water District’s scheduledfacility maintenance that regularly sup-plies the chloramines-treated water. Thechlorine-treated water will come from theCalleguas Municipal Water District.It is unlikely that water users will notice
any change in the appearance or smell oftheir tap water. If a change is noticed, basepersonnel should do the following:• If a stronger than normal chlorine
odor exists after an extended absence, al-low the water to run for a few minutes toreduce the odor.• Should you notice a discoloration at
a sink or water fountain, merely allow thewater to flow for a few minutes to flushthe line until clear water appears. Baseresidents should also check the water intheir washing machine before puttingclothes in for washing. If the water is dis-colored, set the machine to the spin cycleto drain the water. A second filling shouldresult in clear water. If not, repeat thedraining and filling steps as necessary.The switchback to chloramines will be
announced when the operation is com-pleted. For more information, call theWater Systems Operations supervisor,Steve Latting, at 805-207-4055.

Help when you need it.The Fleet & FamilySupport Center
Steven Covey wrote a book titled “7Habits of Highly Effective People.” It con-tains such obvious habits as, “Begin withthe end in mind.”Similarly, someone else has said: “If
you don’t know where you are going, anyroad will get you there.”Effective counseling begins with the end
in mind.Can counseling get you to your destina-
tion? Studies have shown that the effective-ness of counseling is around 80 percent.Did you know that when the Physicians
Health Research Group was researchingthe effect of aspirin in preventing heartattacks, it stopped the study early. It im-mediately recommended the now-wide-spread daily use of aspirin to reduce heartattacks. How dramatic were their findingstomake suchwide-sweeping recommenda-tions? They saw a 3.4 percent reductionof heart attacks— not 50 or 80 or 95 per-
cent, but a tiny 3.4 percent.Are you investing money these days? I
would guess that your rate of return ismaybe 2 or 3 percent.Investing in counseling makes sense if
you are experiencing problems at home orwork, conflicts with your partner, parent-child issues, pre- or post deployment ad-justment issues, etc. Nothing is a sure
thing, but an 80 percent chance of a goodreturn on your investment of time and ef-fort is about as good as it gets.You are in the driver’s seat at Fleet and
Family Support Center counseling. Weprotect and respect your confidentialityand are held to the same standards ofconfidentiality as counselors in the com-munity. Many of our counselors haveworked years in the community and somewith TRICARE.While there are no out-of-pocket ex-
penses associated with FFSC counseling,it does cost some sweat equity. Counselingis not something done to you or for youso much as in collaboration with you. Itis important that you identify your goals,what you want to accomplish. Once youset the direction (Remember: “Begin withthe end in mind”), then the counselorworks with you using his or her expertiseto help you get to your goal.
Over the last four decades, studies haverepeatedly shown that as many as 60 to70 percent of physician visits actually stemfrom psychological distress that show upas some kind of bodily pain or distress. Issomeone or something a pain in the backor neck? Do they give you a headache?Remember: An 80 percent success
rate.Think about it and let us work with
you.By the way, another habit Covey names
is “Sharpening the saw.”If we don’t sharp-en our skills, working on life’s problemscan be like cutting wood with a dull saw.It pays to take the time out to sharpenyour saws – and skills.Let us help you have a great 2012.

ous building between the gas station andthe auto hobby shop, next to the MuguGym complex at Naval Base VenturaCounty, Point Mugu.Several of those visiting on opening day
agreed that it had fallen into disrepairtoward the end of 2011.“Basically it was a storage bin,” Com-
mand Master Chief Thomas Cyr, thecommandmaster chief of NBVC, said ashe looked around thewell-organized shop,complete with shelves and price tags. “I
think this will be popular.”There are separate women’s and men’s
clothing areas, a shoe department and achildren’s area with books, toys and a lotof stuffed animals.McGill said most of the donated goods
are practical, everyday items that peoplecan use.“Before it was filled with broken mate-
rials, old materials, stuff no one wouldever buy,” she said.Christina Mack made her find early:
the Newlywed Game. She and her hus-band, Naval Air Crewman Mechanical2nd Class Jonathan Mack of Fleet Lo-gistics Support Squadron 55 (VR-55),frequently host game nights, and thiswould add to their collection.It would set her back two quarters.“It’s nice to be able to walk through
here and browse,” she said. “Before it wasa mess. You were stepping all over every-thing.”Shopping with her wasMiranda Cook,
whose husband is Logistics Specialist 1stClass Christopher Cook, also of VR-55.“It was very messy,” Cook said. “Now
everything has a price, so you know whatyou’re buying.”And those prices couldn’t get much
lower.Short-sleeved shirts were $1 each. A
child’s pirate ship was tagged at $1.50,and a boogie board was going for $2.Furniture ranged from $5 to $25.There were also kitchen appliances,
cookware, television sets, books, suit-cases and even a box of Christmas treeornaments.
“We’re not trying to make a lot ofmoney,”McGill said.What proceeds they do earn go to the
CPOA Scholarship Fund, which pays fora quarterly $500 college scholarship;CPOA sponsorship of the Boy Scouts ofAmerica, Cub Scout Pack 3242; RightHand Man events, when CPOs bring ju-nior Sailors to lunch and other morale-building events; CPOAhails and farewells,where incoming and outgoing chiefs arehonored and given plaques; the ChiefPetty Officer Birthday Celebration, heldevery April 1 to recognize the day in 1893when the CPO grade was established; andthe Navy Ball, which celebrates the Oct.13, 1775, birth of the U.S. Navy.TheMugu Thrift Shop is openWednes-

SIGONELLA, Italy—Seabeesassigned to Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalion (NMCB) 3,Detail Sigonella, provided emer-gency assistance to Naval AirStation (NAS) Sigonella thathelpedminimize flooding damagecaused by heavy rains on Feb.22.The Seabees received the call
that day from Public Works De-partment (PWD) Sigonella re-questing their help to protectsome of the buildings and assistwith driving security throughflood waters.“The flooding was waist high
in some areas,” said Chief Con-struction Electrician Travis Can-aday, the assistant officer incharge of the detail. “PublicWorks needed our help to protectsome of the buildings by placingsandbags in areas and placingvisqueen [thick polyethylenesheeting] on some of the roofs toprevent leaks.”The Seabees teamed up with
PWD to protect and minimizewater damage to many buildings,including the personal supportdetachment, galley, fuel farm,
communications buildings, thebase hospital and other criticalinfrastructure for base person-nel.“The storm was pretty bad,”
said Utilitiesman 3rd ClassMattBrown. “We did our best to helpout.”While one team was assisting
public works, another team ofSeabees assisted base security
with transportation through theworst of the flooded areas.“Security did not have the ca-
pability to cross the deep waterwith their vehicles,” said Cana-day. “We provided drivers and aMedium Tactical Vehicle Re-placement (MTVR) so that theycould search for stranded person-nel and inspect structures and thesurrounding areas for any dam-
age.”“It was great helping out and
doing my part,” said EquipmentOperator ConstructionmanKen-nethMenzies, one of theMTVRdrivers.“The flooding caused the base
to be closed to all non-essentialpersonnel Wednesday, but was
later reopened around 4:15 p.m.,”said Lt. Jeremy Potts, officer incharge of the detail.“Because we reacted fast, the
damage wasn’t as bad as it couldhave been,” said Builder 1st ClassWilliamPotter, assigned to PWD.“We were able to commence nor-mal operations the next day.”

cise, we experience some backup at thegates, and we are trying to minimize thatthis year,” said Robert Huether, installa-tion training officer, Naval Base VenturaCounty.The hope is that by closing most base
facilities on Friday and Saturdaymorning,retirees and non-essential personnel willstay away from the base, reducing conges-tion at the gates. Last year, irritated driv-ers complained of waiting up to two hoursto get through the gates at NBVC PortHueneme. Traffic backed up on nearbystreets, clogging neighborhoods.
The annual force protection exercise,which runsMarch 18-24, is called CitadelShield/Solid Curtain. Citadel Shield is aregional exercise involving all Navy instal-lations in Southern California and usu-ally lasts the first part of the week. SolidCurtain lasts the second half of the weekand involves all installations worldwide.
The base will go to elevated levels ofsecurity during the week, culminatingwithtwo and a half days of some gate closures,random vehicle inspections and 100 per-cent identification checks, meaning every-one in the vehicle must have a photo ID.Most recreational services such as the
golf course, bowling alleys, gyms and alleating facilities except the galleys will beclosed all day Friday and Saturday morn-ing.The child development centers will be
minimally manned during the exercise, soclients are asked to call ahead to makesure the service they are anticipating isbeing provided.School bus routes onto the bases will
not be affected unless traffic forces somedelays. However, Thursday afternoon andall day Friday, children who walk throughthe Bard Gate or the Sunkist Gate willneed to use the pedestrian gate at Good-speed Road off Pleasant Valley Road.
Exercise will affect gate access March 23, 24; facilities will be closedCONTINUED FROM 1

Story by NMCB 40 Public AffairsDILI, Timor-Leste — Navy personnel
assigned to the Seabees of U.S. NavalMo-bile Construction Battalion 40 are volun-teering to provide needed medical care ata local clinic in Dili, Timor Leste.
Hospital Corpsman 1st Class SamanthaGarcia and Constructionman DanitzaCastillo participated in manning the Cen-tro Sanitario De Dili medical clinic, pro-viding valuable Spanish-speaking transla-tion skills to the clinic staff and thentranslating into the local language, Tetun,to help doctors diagnose and treat pa-tients.
“We saw several patients on Thursday,almost 20 on Friday. Among most cases,
malnutrition, Giardiasis (parasites), der-matitis, and pneumonia were the mostcommon,” said Garcia. “The majority ofthe patients were children 10 years of ageand younger. The Sanitario clinic is under-developed, and upon a tour of the facil-ity, it was clear that the medical staff hadvery little to work with. Even with so little,the medical staff was dedicated to trulydo their absolute best to help everyone inneed.”
Although the staff had little to workwith as far as medical supplies, theSeabee presence made a tremendousimpact to the community, said Cas-tillo.“Working in that clinic was a great
experience. It felt really good to knowwe’re making a difference. Their as-sistance not only greatly brought relief,but lifted morale, and the spirit of thecommunity,” Castillo said.

NAGOCITY,Okinawa—Seabeesfrom Naval Mobile ConstructionBattalion (NMCB) 40 enjoyed thesights, sounds and tastes of Okinawaculture at the 50th Nago CherryBlossom Festival.Fifteen Seabees took part in aMo-
rale,Welfare andRecreation (MWR)-sponsored trip to the Nago Cityannual cherry blossom festival ear-lier this year.The blooming of the cherry blos-
soms is the basis of one of Okinawa’smost popular festivals. Due to thegeographic location and warmer cli-mate, cherry blossoms bloom inOki-nawa before any other region in Ja-pan. Inmost parts of Japan,Hanami(cherry blossom viewing) is a tradi-tion that goes back hundreds ofyears. It represents the end of winterand the new life of spring.Various festival activities included
a parade with traditional Okinawafolklore, an exhibit of flowers, food,music, games, a leisurely stroll to theNago Castle site and a tour of theOrion Beer brewery.“I enjoyed observing the folklore
performances of their culture,” saidEngineering Aide 1st Class Paul Pe-kinas. “It was very interesting to seeand it’s similar tomyRussian culturefolklore.”Food vendors were lined up every
20 feet with authentic Okinawa cui-sine, chicken pie and very rich icecream.

By Renee HatcherNAWCWD Public Affairs
The Naval Air Warfare CenterWeapons Division commander re-cently honored Roger Giesel of Na-val Base Ventura County, PointMugu, as one of only a handful ofpeople currently in the commandwith more than 50 years of federalgovernment service.“It is an honor forme to recognize
Roger and his 50 years of dedicatedservice to our country,” said thecommander, Rear Adm. Mat Win-ter. “Roger’s professional passionand work ethic set the standard forwhich we all should strive.”Originally from Hillsboro, Ore.,
Giesel joined the Navy after highschool graduation in 1961 andserved four years as an aviation elec-tronics technician. During this time,he was detailed to Michelson Labat China Lake for a year testingSidewinder 1C guidance sections forVX-4 during the missile’s opera-tional evaluation phase.Giesel said he joined the Navy to
serve his country and get some ca-reer development training in elec-tronics.“The Navy provided some excel-
lent vocational training throughtheir schools,” he said.After getting out of the Navy,
Giesel joined the Department ofDefense and continued to supportthe Sidewinder program.Giesel has worked at PointMugu
since 1968. He first reported therewhen it was known as the PacificMissile Test Center, and he per-formed radar cross-section and an-tenna measurements on various airvehicles and target augmentations.Giesel began working at the Ad-
vanced Medium-Range Air-to-AirMissile (AMRAAM)Hardware-in-the Loop (HIL) laboratory in 1983.He is still there today, working asan electronics technician and pro-viding test and evaluation plans,constructing and testing specializedelectronic circuits, and calibratingand maintaining the electronicsequipment in the lab.
Giesel was responsible for bring-ing the routine maintenance per-formed on the hydraulic flight tablein theAMRAAMHIL lab in-house,which meant no longer having torely on outside maintenance sup-port.Giesel said he has seen a lot of
changes during his career, but oneof the biggest is the ever-increasingspeed of technology, especially incomputers and automated testingprocedures.“Reliability in electronic circuits
today is incredible compared to thepast,” he said.Giesel said he will retire eventu-
ally, but for now, he plans to con-tinue supporting the AMRAAMprogram as he has for nearly 30years.“I would not change a thing about
my career,” Giesel said. “The op-portunity to serve my country andwork with a great bunch of peoplehas been the best part of my career.I work with a great team here andI appreciate their help.”
Giesel honored after 50 years of service, mostly at Mugu
