Question: It seems that the security department onboard Point Mugu only drives around our neighbor-hoods when called. Is there a reason for this?

Answer: Force protection is my number one prior-ity, and since reporting aboard, I’ve been examiningstaffing levels, fence lines, equipment and trends. It’sour job to provide as safe an environment as we possi-bly can for Sailors and their families. The NBVC PoliceDepartment routinely patrols all areas of the instal-lation, including housing areas. They have at theirdisposal marked, unmarked and K-9 patrol units. Inareas where there are increased reports of suspiciousor criminal activity — such as break-ins, vandalism orsuspicious individuals — we respond immediately witha patrol to assess the situation and take reports. Wealso increase patrols in the affected area. This helpsus track our trouble spots and provide the best servicepossible.The police can’t be everywhere, though, and they

need our help to keep our community safe. Rememberto report anything suspicious immediately by callingthe base police. I live on base too, and I want my familyand yours to be safe and secure. We have to rememberto secure our homes and vehicles; most reports wereceive on base involve unlocked doors and unsecuredproperty. Our personal vigilance will help make thecommunity as a whole better and safer. Thank you foryour vigilance and for giving us a chance to addressyour concerns.It’s our base, and we have to work together to make

NBVC the best base in the Navy!

Gingerly, Selena Rogers putdown the four 10-poundweights, the two-poundweightand the one-pound weight shecarried in her arms.They were heavy, and she

didn’t want to lug themaroundanymore.She didn’t have to. It was

now official: She’d lost them.Rogers, a program analyst

with Naval Facilities Expedi-tionary Service Center at Na-val Base Ventura County, wascarrying the 43 pounds todemonstrate the amount ofweight she’d lost in the BiggestLoser challenge, a 16-weekweight-loss program run byMorale, Welfare and Recre-ation.As the first-place winner,

losing 18.47 percent of her to-tal body weight, Rogers tookhome $692.00, half the totalcollected during the chal-lenge.Twenty-nine people signed

up for the challenge, and 11 ofthem took part in the finalweigh-in May 14.Between Jan. 23 and May

14, a total of 398 pounds van-ished.“Overall, I think it was pret-

ty successful, especially giventhat this was our first go-around,”Ramona Pagel, direc-tor of the Bee-Fit Health Cen-ter and coordinator of theprogram, said during a cele-bratory barbecue — grilledchickenwas the entrée—Mon-day, May 21.At their first weigh-in, con-

testants paid a $50 fee, whichincluded eight nutrition class-es. Every Monday after that,they weighed again and paid$1. They were charged an ad-ditional $1 for every poundthey’d gained, $1 if they stayedthe same and $2 if they didn’tshow up. There were noweigh-ins over Presidents Day.The second-place finisher

was Rachel Baker, whose hus-band, Chief Warrant Officer

Raymond Baker, is with theNaval Research Lab. She lost30 pounds, or 17.85 percent ofher total weight, and tookhome $484.40.“This is great,” she said. “I

need to buy new clothes.”The third-place finisher was

Jasmine Carr, whose stepfa-ther, Reginald Brown, workson base. She lost 26.6 pounds,or 14.47 percent of her bodyweight, and collected$207.60.Rogers credited “lots of

prayer”and a supportive fam-ily for her weight loss. Herhusband Charles and sonsCharlie, 19,David, 17, and Joe,12, attended the barbecue withher.“Having a family makes it

difficult because there’s a lotof things in the refrigeratorthat I shouldn’t eat,” Rogerssaid.But between exercising and

watching what she ate, she

have fun,” said Brett Lane, the youthsports coordinator for the base.Children 5 to 7 years old were asked to

run half a mile, and children 8 and olderwere asked to run a mile or more.Several reached their goal and kept on

going.Lane urged them to drink when they

were thirsty and walk if they got too tiredto run.All children who took part received a

T-shirt.

It was a long time coming, butthe “Wallbangers”of CarrierAir-borne Early Warning Squadron(VAW) 117 have proven they stillhave what it takes to fight fromthe sea when they certified thedeckof theUSSNimitz (CVN68)safe to land the E-2C Hawkeyeand qualified seven pilots for car-rier landing in early May.The Nimitz last deployed in

2010, and this exercise marks thefirst time the ship has conductedflight operations since beginninga 10-monthDocking Planned In-cremental Availability Period, ordry dock overhaul, at the PugetSound Naval Shipyard in Wash-ington.TheWallbangers had theirwork

cut out for them. They’ve beenshore-bound for as long as theNimitz, and squadronmaintainershad to get used to working on theflight deck again. The aircrewspentweeks practicing to drop theHawkeye’s tail hook and “take atrap.”In over amonth of field car-rier landing practice on NavalBase Ventura County, Point Mu-gu’s Runway 27, theWallbangerslogged more than 648 practicelanding passes preparing for themission.Forty maintainers and several

officers made the trip to San Di-ego for the exercise. After the shipgot under way Monday, May 7,the crew conducted numerous ex-ercises, and with their deck certi-fication looming the next day, theship continued to test the Sailorsand equipment, running the cata-pults, arresting gear and jet blastdeflectors until late at night.May 8 was “deck cert”day; the

flight deck was filled with noisyjets, helicopters and spinning pro-pellers.“It was definitely the most hec-

tic experience of my life,” saidAviation Electrician 3rd ClassBenjaminBuchanan. “Everythingwas going a mile a minute. It wasa lot to take in, but I learned a lotand it went by in a blur. Seeingour planes landwas really gratify-ing. Havingworked here on shore

for so long, it was really nice tosee howmission-capable we reallyare.”That first day the Wallbangers

logged two arrested landings andtwo touch-and-goes with one air-craft.

“It was a great opportunity toregain our proficiency on a mul-tibillion-dollar, 3,000-person air-craft carrier,” said Cmdr.WilliamReed, VAW-117’s executive officerand senior pilot. “Landing at nightis never easy, but the Wallbanger

Team did it with professional-ism.”VAW-117’s Command Master

Chief Franklin “Spike” Call wasalso there for deck cert.“Frommyperspective deck cert

re-caged our aviators and gave ourenlisted Sailors somemuch-need-ed ship time and flight deck time,”he said. “It allowed us as a teamto get our head back in the game,so to speak, and for the new folks[it] opened their eyes into theworld of how we do business atsea.”Thursday, May 10, the ship

dedicated itself to theWallbangersand Fleet Logistics Squadron 30.Flying five aircraft— twoHawk-eyes and three carrier-onboarddeliver Greyhounds — the twosquadrons completed a grueling12-hour day qualifying pilots. Theweather wasn’t ideal, with lowclouds during the day and evenlower clouds at night.The Wallbangers used the op-

portunity to try out their newCNS/ATM avionics and cockpitupgrades on the carrier. VAW-117is only the second E-2CHawkeye

squadron to receive the upgrade,which replaced 1950s-era cockpitinstrumentation with more mod-ern flat-screen displays and inter-faces.“CNS/ATM is an enormous

improvement,” said Wallbangerpilot Lt. Chris Kingery. “It is es-pecially evident when flying nightprecision carrier landing ap-proaches.”Friday morning the squadron

packed up gear, offloaded equip-ment and departed the ship.Lt. Cmdr. Albert Head, a naval

flight officer and department headwho had a first-hand view of theaction while representing thesquadron and working with theair boss in the tower, was extreme-ly pleased with how everythingwent.When asked about the experi-

ence, he said hewas grateful to theNimitz for staying underway foran extra day and “felt proud to bea part of the team; a lot of peopleput in a lot of hard work and itpaid off well.”Cmdr. FredGoldhammer, com-

manding officer, agreed.“The Wallbangers have always

enjoyed a very close working re-lationshipwith theNimitz andhercrew,”he said. “Over 2,500 Sailorsput in a significant amount of ef-fort and overcame tremendouschallenges to complete this impor-tant first phase of our pre-deploy-ment training.We’re all verymuchlooking forward to getting backout to sea.”

In only a week or two, most local stu-dents will be finishing their school year.As exciting as summer is for students,the significance of the end of the schoolyear should not be overlooked. Withfinals, graduations, parties and specialfield trips, it is easy to forget some ofthe essential items that should be con-sidered at the end of a school year.For many students, the end of the

school year means saying goodbye tofriends and teachers. Although some ofthose friends may be able to reconnectthe next school year, some may not. Evenif your family is not moving this sum-mer, your child’s friend’s family may bemoving. If your student is transitioningto a higher-level school — for example,moving from elementary school to mid-dle school — some friends may not betransitioning to the same school. It isimportant to talk to your children aboutgoodbyes and ways to connect with theirfriends they may not see again in thefall.Parents can encourage their children

to talk about their friendships and say-ing goodbye by asking them what they’ll

remember about the school year andwhat they’ll miss. If they’re old enough,ask them to write about their schoolyear. If they’re not old enough, they cantalk about it and draw pictures. It mightalso be nice to take pictures of your childwith some of his or her favoritefriends.Another key person at your child’s

school to whom they will be sayinggoodbye to is the teacher. Teachersspend every day with the students andbuild strong relationships with them.Unfortunately, in these days of school

budget cuts, there is no guarantee thatyour child’s current teacher will be oncampus next school year. Ensure thatyour child is able to say a proper good-bye to their teacher and shares their (andyour) appreciation for a successfulschool year.If your family happens to be one of

the many military families who will bemoving this summer, a few more tasksmust be considered. If you haven’t al-ready done so, please notify your child’steacher and school office that your childwill not be returning next school year.Schools staff teachers according to thenumber of students they expect to havethe next school year. It’s important thatthey know if your family will not be re-turning.Also, before the last day of school,

ensure that you have the school’s contactinformation and the name of the personwho should be contacted by the newschool to request your student’s records.You will not be carrying your student’sfile to the next school. Once registeredat the next school, the new school willrequest files from the previous school.

It will be wise to hold on to a copy ofthe final report card and a copy of themost current IEP if your student is re-ceiving special education services.As the school year winds down, it is

important that parents with older chil-dren check in to make sure their studentis progressing to end the school year suc-cessfully. It is an unfortunate situationwhen report cards arrive a few weeksinto summer with disappointing grades.It is even more disappointing when thosepoor grades could have been preventedby completing missed assignments. Someteachers will accept late work. Parentsand students should not be caught offguard, but instead should be monitoringgrades before the school year ends.Summer is exciting and it is just

around the corner. Before we turn thatcorner, it’s important to make sure all istaken care of before leaving this schoolyear behind.

Things to remember as the school year comes to an end

Spring is here, and for many, love is inthe air. I know, I’m doing a wedding aweek for an entire month!As I counsel with couples about to be

married, I often reflect on some of thetopics I constantly counsel married cou-ples on. The thought here is that if thesesubjects come up inmarriage, maybe I canhelp a couple get ahead by discussing themnow.Here are three common issues:• Quality time spent with one another.Everyone wants quality time. The prob-

lem is they want it like microwave food— fast, easy and effortless. Marriagedoesn’t work this way (neither does parent-ing). If you want quality time, you mustlog in the quantity time. It is in the simple,ordinary and even mundane rhythms ofquantity time spent with each other thatbecome opportunities for quality time. Ifyou want quality time, first put in thequantity time.• Our tongue.In the Bible, the Book of James uses

ships as an example: “Although they areso large and are driven by strong winds,

they are steered by a very small rudderwherever the pilot wants to go. Likewisethe tongue is a small part of the body, butit makes great boasts.” The same littletongue that pledges vows of love, honorand respect, which build a marriage, canalso tear it down with a few quick lashes.Commit to affirm your mate with words,and by doing so, you’ll steer the ship ofyour marriage into the sunset of happilyever after.• “I made a mistake; this is not the right

person for me.”

When I hear this complaint, I offer thisword of challenge and correction: “It’s notabout marrying the right partner, butrather about being the right partner. Ifyou found the perfect person for you, thenyou shouldn’t marry them because you’donly screw them up with your imperfec-tions.”A good marriage isn’t about mak-ing a good pick based on over 6 billionoptions, but it is about what you do onceyou’ve made that pick. If each partner ina marriage worked on character develop-ment rather than complaining about theirspouse, both parties would have moreconfidence in each other. Remember, it’snot about marrying the right partner, butbeing the right partner.As a chaplain and amarried guy, it’s my

prayer that these simple but not easy mar-riage secrets be a blessing for you in yourrelationship. Grow in your knowledge andskills inmarriage; goodmarriages are builtwith effort.If your marriage is in ruin, I suggest

seeking help through your chaplain, Fleetand Family Support Center or MilitaryOneSource.

Married or not, couples find these 3 issues are trouble

Rob Jankowski knew he’d have a gooddaywhen he saw theNavy volunteers walkthrough his door.As the rescue food-sorting supervisor

for Food Share, Ventura County’s foodbank, he’s worked with Navy volunteersseveral times, and he’s always beenpleased.“I love it,”he said. “They come in force.

They work hard, they’re dedicated andthey’re happy to be here.”For two hours Friday, May 18, eight

volunteers from Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC) checked the dates ondonated canned goods, separated them bycategory — soups, vegetables, fruits, etc.— then packaged them for delivery tochurches and charities that feed the coun-ty’s hungry.Seven other volunteers went to a private

residence in the Santa Rosa Valley andpicked fresh oranges at the homeowner’srequest so they wouldn’t go to waste.“There are 75,000 people in Ventura

County who depend on Food Share,” ex-plainedReligious Programming Specialist3rd Class Royce Jones, who organized thecommunity relations event, the third atFood Share. “For us, this is going back tothe basics. We often serve food to peoplein the county who need it. This time, wecan see where it all comes from.”Chief Air Traffic Controller Robert

Toney, assigned to NBVC Point Mugu’sAir Operations, said he enjoys helping anorganization that is critical to the county’swell-being.“They fully support our community,”

he said of Food Share. “Sowe should sup-port them.”Jankowski said the project is a win-

win.“Not only do the volunteers get the sat-

isfaction of giving back, but they seem toenjoy themselves,” he said. “I think theyhave a good time, and they know they’remaking an impact on where they live.”

On the morning of Wednes-day, May 2, the wardroom ofNaval Mobile ConstructionBattalion (NMCB) 5 gatheredto hike upMugu Peak just out-sideNaval Base Ventura Coun-ty, Point Mugu.“It was a perfect day for a

hike,” said Lt. j.g. BrandonGosch.To get to Mugu Peak, the

NMCB 5 wardroom hiked thenearly vertical Chumash Trail,almost 1,300 feet in verticalelevation. The trailhead is lo-cated off the Pacific CoastHighway right across from theSeabee gunnery range. Theone-mile trail is open to thepublic.At the top of the trail, an

American flag decorates a peakthat gives a rewarding 360-de-gree view of one of the mostbeautiful parts of SouthernCalifornia. The flag was placed

as a tribute by the Chief PettyOfficers Association after9/11.The route taken by NMCB

5 wardroom was quite steepand was littered with looserocks, but everyone made it upsafely.“The hike was very motivat-

ing for the wardroom to get outand build a lot of camarade-rie,” said Lt. Jovaughn Ewing.Once at the top, awards werepresented toLt.NathanDeunkand Lt. j.g. Ji Fredriksen, whoare detaching from NMCB 5.“Wardroom hikes like these

are great opportunities forwardroom to bond,” saidDeunk. Officers believe suchget-togethers increase coordi-nation and communicationwithin the wardroom andstrengthen teamwork.“We had a lot of laughs and

people struggled to get up thehill. [It was] quite fun,” saidEwing.

Thinking about what to do with yourlife? Students fromHuenemeHighSchool’sEngineering and Design Career Path(EDCP) Academy are doing just that.Twenty-one seniors aspiring to become

engineers have taken their pursuit to a newlevel. As the first soon-to-be graduates ofHueneme High’s EDCP Academy, theyhave been given an opportunity to get afirst-hand look at engineering professionalsthrough the Job Shadow Program.As part of the academy’s curriculum,

each of the students is required to do aninternship their senior year, and the JobShadow Program fulfills that require-ment.The Job Shadow Program allows stu-

dents to visit various commands at NavalBaseVenturaCounty (NBVC) throughoutthe month of May and experience whatengineers do in their jobs on a daily basis.During the visits, students are exposed toa variety of engineering disciplines, includ-ing mechanical, electrical, computer, en-ergy and environmental engineering.“This program gives students the oppor-

tunity to see first-hand the responsibilitiesof engineers on a daily basis,” saidMonicaJames, NBVC school liaison officer. “See-ing what engineers do in the real world willbenefit them in their career decision-mak-ing down the road.”The students rotate through the various

engineering activities atNBVC, giving themexposure to professions that could piquetheir interest.“Job shadowing is a perfect way for high

school students to get a true picture of whatit’s like to be an engineer,” saidRobinNus-sear, an engineer and innovation advocateat Naval SurfaceWarfare Center (NSWC)PortHuenemeDivision, a tenant commandatNBVC that specializes in the engineeringof combat and weapon systems on Navyships. “Our command is hosting 16 stu-dents who will be exposed to mechanical,electrical and computer engineering.”The students’ first visit was May 3.“The students were genuinely interested

in getting some real-world experiencework-ingwith naval engineers,”saidNussear. “Aspart of their formal education, they havelearned how to think critically and engagein logical problem solving. During theirtime with engineers at our command, theywere provided opportunities to put thisknowledge to use, and they did a fantasticjob.”Andres Lozano, a mechanical engineer

fromNSWCPortHuenemeDivision, gavehis students anopportunity to troubleshootmock engineering problems that could beexperienced with video distribution andcamera systems on board a Navy ship.“The students were introduced to sev-

eral elements of engineering, such as videosignal transmission and environmental test-ing requirements and design,”Lozano ex-plained.One student, Eduardo Chavez, learned

about energy management from NBVCEnergy Manager Tom Santoianni, whoshowed him some of the energy-savingprojects under way at the base.On May 17, they toured the year-old

Seabee Museum, the first Department ofDefense museum to have a LEED Silvercertification, meaning it was constructedto use less energy and less water than atypical building.As amember of theNavy Junior ROTC

programatHuenemeHigh School, Chavezhad been to the base several times but hadnever seen the buildings Santoianni showedhim and had never visited the museum.“He showed me parts of the base I’ve

never been to,” Chavez said. “I really ap-preciated it.”

were in attendance to show support forGenereux as he ceremoniously retired af-ter 21 years of service.The ceremony featured guest speakers

highlighting peakmoments of Genereux’scareer. He was later presented a shadowbox that represented his time served in themilitary.“Chief, you’re an exceptional leader and

an outstanding Seabee,” said Cmdr. PeterMaculan, commanding officer of NMCB5. “It has been all of our pleasures to serve

with you. Thank you for all that you havedone for NMCB 5, and for all that youhave done for the Seabees in the Navy andfor the many sacrifices you and your fam-ily have made over the years.”Family and friends came across the

world to attend his retirement ceremony.Djiboutian interpreter YoussoufHomadou, with whomGenereux workedclosely in Africa, traveledmore than 9,000miles to attend the ceremony.

“[Homadou] was always there, alwayswilling to help. He helped us bond with allof the locals while on deployment, and I’mglad that we were able to get him out hereto visit,”said Builder 3rdClass CaseyMat-thews, a Seabee assigned toNMCB5Char-lie Company.Matthewswasalsodeployedon theDikh-

much Genereaux touched the men andwomenwithwhomheworked, saidMasterChief Utilitiesman Douglas Heiner, theguest speaker for Genereaux’s retirementceremony.“You have touched these people’s hearts

in such an impressive way that they havecome from around the globe to honor youon your special day,”Heiner said. “That inand of itself speaks volumes of a measureof the man that you are. Your charisma,your flaws, your character, your integrity,your leadership andyourhumanityhave leftfootprints on all our souls.”

Lt. Gregory Uvila, the com-mand chaplain for Naval Mo-bile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 5, competed in theAll-Navy Bowling Team try-outsMay 7-13 at LacklandAirForce Base in San Antonio.“I feel alive, I just love it and

I enjoy the challenge of thesport,” said Uvila, who spendshis off-time with his family andbowling in tournaments andleagues whenever the opportu-nity is available.

Uvila said the applicationwas lengthy. Only 17 of the 43who applied were invited to at-tend and compete for the ros-ter.

Uvila ended up in sixth placeat the end of the first day. Hebowled a 279—only one strikeaway from a perfect game —and a 266.

On the second and third days,Uvila struggled, bowling lessthan par. He rallied on thefourth day and averaged 209.Over all eight games bowled,

he averaged 211.Only the top fourwere invited

for a second week of competi-tion.“It was an excellent experi-

ence, and I hope to go nextyear,”Uvila said. “Nothingwaseasy at that level. It was a dogand cat fight at times, and everypin counted.”Once the All-Navy Team is

selected, it will compete againstthe Army, Air Force and Ma-rineCorps for the title of ArmedForces Champions.Uvila says that although he

enjoys being NMCB 5’s chap-lain, when he was younger hewanted to bowl professionally.“Thirty-five years later, it’s

come full circle in a small way,”he said.

CHINHAE, SouthKorea—Seven Sea-bees fromU.S.NavalMobile ConstructionBattalion 40, Detail Chinhae, recentlyperformed much-needed maintenance atthe Aikwangwon orphanage on GeojeIsland.The community relations event was

sponsored by Commander Naval ForcesKorea to correspond with the Koreanpeninsula-wide exerciseKeyResolve. Rear

Adm.WilliamMcQuilkin of CNFKwaspresent to see the interaction between thechildren and residents. The event was at-tended by active duty and reserve person-nel from various communities, creating adiverse dynamic.“It was a great experience to give back

to the community. I really enjoyed the op-portunity to help the orphanage maintaintheir facilities,” said Steelworker Construc-tionman BriceMcClurg. “The facility wasvery impressive and catered to a wide va-

riety of handicapped children. After help-ing out, you can really appreciate what thecaretakers go through to keep the founda-tion running.”Aikwangwon started out during the

Korean War as one individual caring fora few orphans and has grown into a facil-ity that now provides care for more than200 children with disabilities. The found-er, Im Soon Kim, continues to lead theorganization, devoting 60 years to the or-phanage.

Seabees extended the life of the facility’sconcrete walls by filling cracks with sili-cone caulk and applying a fresh coat ofpaint. They also helped clear rocks fromthe drainage system.“It is always good to get away from the

project at Chinhae to help others out thatneed it the most. Improving the facilitiesof Aikwangwon is what we do best asSeabees, and I am glad that I could be apart of it,” said Steelworker 2nd ClassClarence Lewis.

Air Force engineers from 554 RapidEngineer Deployable Heavy OperationalRepairSquadronEngineers (REDHORSE),stationed out of Andersen Air Force Base,

Guam, were also involved.The joint engineer crew of 10 Seabees,

four Soldiers, and four Airmen placed 660tons of asphalt, creating a 126,000-square-foot parking lot for NAVFACMarianas.“What amazedme was that all three ser-

vices were able to communicate smoothlyand operate on the same page,” said theproject supervisor, EquipmentOperator 1stClass Ricardo Abeyta. “It was great thateveryonewas speaking auniversal language,performing at a high level, and to producea quality product.”Tech. Sgt. David Torres, Air Force crew

leader, agreed with Abeyta.“This is great experience for all three ser-

vices, beingable to learndifferent techniquesand procedures from each other,” he said.“Thiswill alsohelpwhen forward-deployed,

not only increasing experience levels, butalso to understand how the other servicesconduct business.”Sgt. Caleb Hill, Army crew leader, also

agreed.“I am gladwe are able to be out here and

build cohesion and gain relationships withfellow service members,” he said.The commander of NMCB 40 Detail

Guam Alfa Company, Lt. j.g. SalahhudinAdenkhalif, was impressed by the results ofthe partnership.“I am very pleased with the quality of

asphalt work and look forward to workingwith these units on future projects,”he said.“It was like watching a crew that has beenworking together for years, thewayeveryonewas communicating and focused on com-pleting the paving.”

Effective immediately, military mem-bers on permanent change of station(PCS) orders will no longer be permittedto hand-carry their medical records totheir new command.This is not a new practice, but instead

follows Department of Defense (DoD)Instruction 6040.43, which establishesthat medical records are the property ofDoD and are to be maintained at medicaltreatment facilities. The instruction fur-

ther calls for the practice of hand-carry-ing records to end and for medical recordsto be retrieved from beneficiaries.“This is not about denying you access

to your record,” said Lt. Sonny Shotwell,head of administrative services at NavalBranch Health Clinic, Port Hueneme.“It’s about safeguarding your medicalinformation so you can have it all readywhen you go to the VA (Department ofVeterans Affairs) after you leave the ser-vice.”When PCSing, bring your orders to the

clinic and your records will be forwardedto the nearest medical treatment facility.Records can also be requested once youarrive at your new duty station.This also applies to dependent medical

records.“The received medical records office

sends out the request using a form signedby the member,” Shotwell said.The instruction also requires the med-

ical treatment facility to retrieve recordsfrom beneficiaries who are currentlyhand-carrying records. This will be ac-

complished during regular appointments.Military members from operational unitswith medical departments can turn theirrecords in to their local medical represen-tatives.Servicemembers who are retiring, going

through Transition Assistance Programsor filing with the VA can request copiesof their records. The process generallytakes seven to 10 days to complete.For more information about this policy,

contact Lt. Sonny Shotwell at 982-6370or email [email protected].

Hand-carrying medical records no longer permitted

By Lt. Cmdr. Clay D. VernonVR-55

TheMinutemen of Fleet Logis-tics Support Squadron (VR) 55recently had the opportunity togive something back to the com-munity by hosting squadron toursfor Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.Boy Scout Troop 147 from Ba-

kersfield and Girl Scout Troop60456 from Simi Valley visitedNavalBaseVenturaCounty, PointMugu, and toured theVR-55han-gar. They learned firsthand aboutthe C-130THercules aircraft andits operation. They walkedthroughone of the aircraft, askingquestions of pilots, aircrew andthe maintenance team.VR-55 personnel explained the

basics of flight and aircraft main-tenancewhile the youngsters weresitting in the cockpit and cargocompartment, giving them a trueexperience of naval aviation.Also serving as guides were

three Midshipmen from the U.S.Naval Academy andROTCunitsfrom around the country. Mid-shipmen Dan Almedrales, DanRobillard and Brian McGarvey,now in the beginning stages ofbecoming naval officers and avia-tors, offered a unique perspectiveand were able to give mentoredguidance to any of these youngscouts aspiring to join the ranksof the U.S. Navy.Giving special insight to the

Girl Scouts was Aviation Struc-

tural Mechanic Airman RocioDelgado, who discussed her expe-riencebeingawoman in thearmedforces.VR-55’s commanding officer,

Cmdr. Alastair MacGregor,rounded out the spectrum ofranks in attendance, fielding ques-tions about naval aviation.During the tour, Minutemen

maintenance personnel demon-strated the operation of the mas-sive hydraulic ramp and door atthe rear of the Hercules.“It was really fun to watch the

faces of the kids as the rampopened up,”said onemaintenanceteammember. “It’s routine for us,but it seemed to make an impres-sion on them.”

Naval SurfaceWarfare Center (NSWC)Port Hueneme Division and the interna-tional MK 41 Vertical Launching System(VLS) community shared important VLSinformation during the 15th annual VLSUsers Technical Exchange ForumMay 16-18.

Representatives fromnine allied nationsparticipated in the three-day event, duringwhichNSWCPortHuenemeDivision pro-vided access to the latest technology inVLSengineering, training, operations, mainte-nance and logistics.“We meet annually with our interna-

tional allied partners who have procuredthese systems, and we exchange informa-

tion that is needed in order to safely andeffectively operate and maintain the VLSsystemas a critical component of our navalcombat systems,” said Vance Brahosky,deputy major program manager, Interna-tional andForeignMilitary Sales Programs.“This forum also gives us, in the contextof decreasing military budgets, an oppor-tunity to look for best value solutions insupporting and maintaining the VLS sys-tems throughout the world.”International participants were enthusi-

astic about the forum.“ThisVLSconference is a very important

one,”saidCmdr. TatsuyaMaeda, Japanesetechnical liaison officer for the JapaneseMaritime Self Defense Force, a first-timeattendee. “This event allows us to get new

information about the VLS program fromthe U.S. Navy, which is a great benefit tomy country. It’s also important for us toexchange information with other nationsregarding shipbuilding, maintenance andtraining.”The representative from the Norwegian

navy also agreed that the event is criticalfor continued operations.“This event is very significant because

we get tomeetwith subjectmatter experts,”saidCmdr.AlexGjellestad,Norway liaisonofficer,NorwayFrigate Program. “Norwayis a small country, so consequentlywe don’thave all the resources that the U.S. Navyhas, whichmakes it critically important forus to be participants here in order to buy,operate and maintain Aegis ships. We re-

ally need to be part of a VLS family.”NSWC Port Hueneme Division shared

its expertise in all facets of the VLS sys-tem.“This is the first year, out of 15 years,

that our discussions turned to the decom-missioning of ships and how to handleVLS,”saidGerald Stutts,NSWCPortHue-neme Launching Systems Project Officemanager. “In prior years, we have talkedabout new ships andmid-life ships, but thiswas a unique topic— it shows howwe aretruly a cradle-to-graveweapon system sup-port activity.”Foreign navy participants includedGer-

many, Netherlands, Australia, Canada,Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Spain andTurkey.

How long can you marinate a porkchop?Should you wash your hands after

cracking open an egg?Can you throw a frozen steak onto the

grill?With summertime rapidly approaching,

the right answers to questions like these

canmean the difference between a healthyfamily vacation and a trip to the emer-gency room.That’s why every year, Naval Base Ven-

tura County (NBVC) puts on a summersafety fair, where Sailors can be remindedof the dangers of E.coli and salmonella,riptides and high surf, and drinking anddriving.This year’s fair was Friday, May 18, on

the parade grounds at NBVC Port Huen-eme. About 800 Sailors stopped by.NBVC Aquatics Manager Gerry Le-

gaspi warned Sailors about the currentsand cold water off the Ventura Countycoastline. The Beach Boys, after all, sangabout “the warm California sun,” not the

warm California water.“Always be aware of the water temper-

ature,” Legaspi told them. “And alwaysuse proper equipment.”Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Scott

Stenner of the Naval BranchHealth Clin-ic, Port Hueneme, discussed food safety.“Buy a meat thermometer,” he told the

Sailors, holding one up so everyone couldsee what it looked like.Gas Turbine Systems Technician 1st

Class Luis Dias discussed substance abuseand rehabilitation programs offered by theNavy.“We get through St. Patrick’s Day, then

we haveMemorial Day,” he said. “We tryto reach out before someone actually gets

into trouble.”He said it’s important for Sailors to look

out for their shipmates and realize thatalcohol and drugs aren’t the only addic-tions out there.“Gambling, the Internet, even gaming

can become a problem,” he explained.Stations were also set up for car safety

and motorcycle safety.As for food safety, the U.S. Department

of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety andInspection Service recommends that porkbe marinated in the refrigerator for nolonger than five days, that everyone washtheir hands after cracking open an egg,and that everything hitting the grill bethoroughly thawed so it cooks evenly.

Safety fair reminds Sailors of summertime dangersThe road, the ocean,even what’s on the picnictable can turn deadly

It only took six months for ColeGunner Carbonel to outgrow hisinfant car seat.“Dad is 6-foot-3,” explained

mom Candalee, who stopped bythe car seat safety check Friday,May 18, at the Naval Base Ven-tura County, Point Mugu, MainGate.Carbonel, whose husband, Avi-

ation Structural Mechanic 2ndClass Matthew Carbonel is withCarrier Airborne Early WarningSquadron (VAW) 116, broughtwith her a new car seat, designedfor children 20 to 70 pounds.“I want to get it installed cor-

rectly,”Carbonel said. “And I wantto make sure it fits him properly.”Elena Gutierrez, the injury pre-

vention coordinator at VenturaCounty Medical Center, showedCarbonel how to do both.Four out of five car seats are not

installed correctly or aren’t fittingthe child properly, said AndreaSwanson, the lead instructor forSafe Kids Ventura, which puts onseveral car seat safety checks at thebase each year.“With people on the road and

traveling over summer vacation,this is a good time to remind themto keep children safe in the car,”she said. “Car seats need to be in-stalled properly, in accordancewiththe car and the car seat manufac-turer’s instructions.”About half a dozen people

stopped by the May 18 event.

Car seat safety check makessure babies are snug, secure

tion and to the advent of the Department of the Navy as aworld-class safety organization.”An awards presentation ceremony will be held July 11 in

Washington, D.C.NBVCwas recognized in the ashore, non-industrial catego-

ry.As he did with the CNO award, NBVC’s Installation Safety

Director George Egeler credited mishap review boards andhigh attendance at motorcycle safety classes as two key reasonsfor the recognition.“This just shows again how Naval Base Ventura County

cares about its people,” he said. “There’s no one else in theNavy who does it better.”The base teams up with outside agencies to provide safety

trainings. One of those agencies is Safe Kids Ventura County,which brings car seat safety checks to the base.“We’ve had a strong partnership for six years,” saidMonique

Ciccone Llanos, coalition coordinator for Ventura CountyPublic Health. “It’s really great that the base is being proactivein serving the population here. People don’t have to leave thebase to learn about safety.”

Camp Shields last month.While roving Camp Shields, Okinawa,

Japan, at 12:15 a.m., Construction Me-chanic Constructionman Vladimir Pota-pov and Logistics Specialist Seaman TylerMonkkollman radioed the quarterdeckafter detecting a large diesel fuel leak.“It was leaking pretty fast, and I could

smell it. We called the OOD (officer ofthe deck) and CDO (command duty of-ficer) and they called the fire departmentwhile we evacuated the chiefs’ barracks,”said Potapov.“They were complaining a little bit,”

saidMonkkollman, “but with the amountof fuel that leaked, the building was indanger so we let someone know and goteverybody out.”The two Seabees discovered a 2,000-gal-

lon tank had leaked an estimated 250 gal-lons that night. After investigation, thecause of the gas leak was found to be the

result of a pump malfunction.“The fuel supply pump for the day tank

didn’t shut off after the tank was full likeit is supposed to, causing it to continu-ously pump fuel until it overflowed out-side of the tank,” said Utilitiesman 1stClass Jamie Russ.“It took about an hour to an hour and

a half for the situation to be resolved,”said Potapov.The early warning and quick reaction

of the Seabees, emergency services andPublicWorks personnel kept the situationfrom becoming worse.“The two Seabees demonstrated a lot

of courage waking up the chiefs,” saidAir Force Capt. Keith Yelk, the campmaintenance company commander. “Ihave learned quickly that Seabees arealways standing the watch. It’s a time-tested and Navy-approved method tokeep personnel safe. The rovers took careof our Seabee family [and] really savedthe day.”

made it work. She switched from wholemilk to non-fat milk, made salad hermaincourse for most dinners, passed on thesalad dressing and ate smaller portions ofmeat.She tried new recipes that emphasized

vegetables instead of meat. Some weregood; others weren’t.“There was that one soup,”one of boys

said.“Oh yeah, that one with the noodles,”

said another. “That one didn’t work.”Baker credited her weight loss to “work-

ing out a lot and eating lots of veggies.”Her daughter, Ashley, 18, benefited as

well.“I used to eat a lot of junk food,” she

said. “Now, I eat what my mom cooks.”She, too, drew the line at one dish.“That spinach and couscous thing,” she

said.“It had mango salsa with it,” Baker re-

plied.“Yeah, I just ate the salsa,” Ashley

said.Carr said her weight loss was slow until

the last few weeks of the program whenshe started a walking routine.“I walked every single day,” she said.

“I’d go at least three miles a day. And I

really started to lose the weight.”She also switched from soda to water.“I couldn’t remember the last time I’d

had a glass of water,” she said. “It wasalways soda.”Pagel wants to offer the program again

in the fall, this time with a few changes.She’ll make it shorter, and she wants tooffer some special activities.“There are some people who’ve never

been in a gym who might want to try aclass or get into a regular routine,” sheexplained.She also wants to take before-and-after

photos.Later this summer, Pagel plans to offer

a walking contest with five-person teamswearing pedometers.

Loser contest yields winning resultCONTINUED FROM 3 I walked every single
