There’s still time to get helppreparing state and federal in-come taxes before TaxDay,Mon-day, April 15. The tax center at

Naval Base Ventura County, PortHueneme, closes at noon Satur-day, April 13.Since its Jan. 30 opening, the

center has helped active dutymilitary personnel and retireesprocess nearly 700 returns, result-ing in $890,000 in federal refundsand nearly $95,000 in state re-

funds.“Overall, I’m extremely ecstat-

ic about the year,” said Sal Gon-zales, the legal assistance clerk atthe Region Legal Service Office,Detachment Ventura, who hascoordinated the tax center onbase since 2002.Gonzales walked into this

year’s tax seasonwith doubts. Forthe first time, the center is self-service, meaning people sit downat one of seven laptops and pre-pare the returns themselves. Rov-ing volunteers can answer ques-tions, but they no longer sit down

Even before it reopened Tues-day, April 2, the Warfield Gymat Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) Port Hueneme was get-ting rave reviews.“It looks great!” said Construc-

three years ago when he was at-tending A-school at the NavalConstruction Training Centerand didn’t realize it had beenclosed for a $2.1 million renova-tion.“It looks a lot nicer,” he said,

and he’d only gotten a peek at themassive weight roombefore beingshooed out and told to returnTuesday.Since closing 15 months ago,

Question: I just renewed my car stickerand was surprised at the insistence to usemy Social Security number. My commandand others I work with have made aggressivechanges to comply with the PII (personallyidentifiable information) policy directives, in-cluding the elimination of using Social Secu-rity numbers unless it in connection with theSocial Security Office. I ask that you pleaseinquire as to why the CAC (computer accesscard) number and driver’s license numberalso requested cannot be used instead.

Answer: The Department of the Navy hasbeen aggressive about eliminating the use ofSocial Security numbers in our daily opera-tions. We’ve started a phased approach, di-rected by the chief information officer, as you

noted. However, agencies outside the federalgovernment, particularly law enforcementagencies, have not made the move away fromusing the Social Security number as a cross-database identifier. Anytime we must rely onlaw enforcement databases during vehicleregistration and/or background checks forbase access, Social Security numbers arerequired.Thank you for your understanding.Keep the questions and feedback coming!

TheGoldenHawks of Carrier AirborneEarlyWarning Squadron (VAW) 112 fromNaval Base Ventura County, PointMugu,are no strangers to deployment.Supporting operations in 7th and 5th

Fleet areas of responsibility for the secondtime in two years, VAW-112 flewmore than1,500 mishap-free flight hours and morethan 500 sorties in support of OperationsEnduring Freedom and Spartan Shield, aswell as other operations.During this time, VAW-112 Sailors —

alongwith Carrier AirWing (CVW) 9, theUSS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) and theCarrier Strike Group (CSG) 3 team —achieved significant personal and squadronmilestones.To start with, for the entire 2012-2013

surge cruise, VAW-112 pilots were consis-tently some of the safest and proved to beamong the best aviators in the air wing.Carrier naval aviators are graded on eachlanding they perform on the ship, and cri-teria include pattern discipline, landingtechnique andboarding rate –whether theyland first pass or not. Cmdr. Evan “Sheik”Morrison, Lt. Cmdr. Ryan “Mouth”Carstens, Lt. John “Chimpo”O’Neill, Lt.Cmdr. Gregg “Shaggy” Sweeney and Lt.Mike “Extreme”Tem were among the airwing’s top pilots, with some of the highestlanding grades during deployment.In addition, O’Neill and Lt. Joseph

“Boomhauer”Breeden earned theirWingLanding Signal Officer qualifications.In another personal milestone, Cmdr.

Aaron Brodsky flew his 3,000th hour inthe E-2C Hawkeye on Feb. 20 while sup-porting Operation Enduring Freedom.Brodsky’s milestone is the culmination offlights flown since 1996, quarterbackingsuchmissions as counter-narcotics opera-tions over the Caribbean and numerous

5th and 7th Fleet operations and exercises.He has taken part in Exercises TalismanSaber and Northern Edge and in Opera-tions Southern Watch, Desert Fox, IraqiFreedom,NobleEagle, EnduringFreedom,New Dawn and, most recently, SpartanShield.Other personal milestones include Lt.

Cmdr. Jonathan “Petey”Shepard reachinghis 2,000-hour mark, and Lt. Cmdr. Mi-chelle “Dingo”Kemp and Breeden reach-ing their 1,000-hour mark.These accomplishments are significant

given this new era of continuing resolutionsand reduced operational flight hours.Squadron Sailors focused on earning the

Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist(EAWS) and Enlisted Surface WarfareSpecialist (ESWS) designations. Earningthese specialist designations requires

months of hands-on training, studying anddemonstrating proficiency in a variety ofshipboard and aviation operations.The EAWS designation requires Sailors

to have a thorough understanding of flightoperations aboard the carrier and to dem-onstrate their acquired knowledge througha series of written and verbal examinations.Upon completion of the EAWS syllabus,they are awarded the coveted set of EAWSwings—each pin flownon anE-2CHawk-eye in support of anAirborne EarlyWarn-ing Command and Control mission. TheESWS designation, like the EAWS, alsorequiresmonths of intense hands-on train-ing, studying and a series of both writtenand verbal exams, but covering surfacewarfare operations.Additionally, to earn the ESWSdesigna-

tion, Sailors must qualify in basic ship-

board damage control.VAW-112 topped more than 80 percent

qualified EAWS Sailors andmore than 35percent qualified ESWS — better thanNavy averages for aviation commands —earning the squadron the right to fly theEAWS pennant.VAW-112’s enlisted advancement rates

also exceed Navy averages at better than50 percent advancement for E-4, E-5 andE-6 promotions over three cycles; Navyadvancement average is approximately 36percent for E-4, E-5 and E-6.“The Golden Hawks’ above-average

EAWS and ESWS numbers and stellaradvancement rates denote the high level ofproficiency and knowledge across all re-spective rates and represent the initiative,effort and careVAW-112 puts into develop-ing its greatest resource, their Sailors,” saidBrodsky, the commanding officer of thesquadron.The capstone milestone came in Febru-

ary, when VAW-112 was presented thecoveted Battle Efficiency (Battle “E”) forits operational excellence. The Battle “E”is the Navy’s top performance award andis presented to operational units that excelin combat and personal readiness, profi-ciency and overall efficiency.“Competing against all West Coast

Hawkeye squadrons, VAW-112was award-ed this honor for more than just aircrewtactical performance,” Brodsky said. “Itwas the combined dedication of all VAW-112 Sailors across all departments perform-ing their function with high morale anddoing it by the book.”With exceptional qualification and ad-

vancement rates, high morale, mission ac-complishment and family support of thepast two years, the Golden Hawks lookforward to some downtime and rest inPoint Mugu upon their return to home-port.

In 1986, April was designated as theMonth of the Military Child, a time wheneach branch of the military recognizes thesacrifices made by the children of parentswho are serving our country.Here at Naval Base Ventura County,

military children are important year-round,and there are many programs and servicesin place to support them. The month ofApril allows us to highlight thesemanypro-grams.Child Development Centers, Child De-

velopment Homes and Youth Centers areavailable for children of all ages. These pro-grams provide child care and enriching ac-tivities formilitary-connected children, ages6 weeks through 18 years. All the centersare accredited by national accrediting agen-cies and offer high-quality programs.The Youth Centers provide care for ele-

mentary school-age children and cater theirschedule to the local schools’ schedules.With either a “walking” bus or an actualbus, children can be taken safely from thedoorstep of the Youth Center to the stepsof their school.When teens no longer need child care,

they still need a safe place to “hang out”

and meet other teens. CYP teen programsprovidehighly interactive teen roomscateredto the interests of the teens in their pro-grams.Best of all, teens who are new to the area

—ormaybe haven’t even arrived yet—canconnectwith teenswhoare alreadyhere andfamiliar with the area through the NavyYouth Sponsorship Program.Teens who are interested in going to col-

lege can participate in a monthly CollegeBound program at the Teen Centers.Surf lessons, swim team, basketball, soc-

cer and track and field are just a few of the

offerings of the NBVC Youth Sports pro-gram. This programallows children to findtrue enjoyment in sports and fitness in a safeenvironmentwhile also learning the funda-mentals of teamwork and fair competi-tion.Even prior to birth, military children are

taken care of at theFleet&Family SupportCenter (FFSC). Through the New ParentSupport Program, expectant parents canfind support, knowledge and resources.Once the baby arrives, a new spectrum ofquestions and concernsmay arise, andNewParent Support will be there to lead theparents to the resources and help theyneed.General parenting classes, step-parenting

classes and support for families with excep-tional family members lead into anotherarea of support for military children at theFFSC. When parents seek support andknowledge, their children benefit.The NBVC school liaison officer (SLO)

is also available to families with any educa-tion-related questions. The SLO can assistfamilies in finding educational resourcessuch as free online tutoring. Also, the SLOcan guide parents when making a school-

related decision. Every school system is dif-ferent; the NBVC SLO is the person to goto with questions regarding local schools.During themonth of April, installations

worldwide will plan events and offer op-portunities to showappreciation tomilitarychildren.It is estimated that there are more than 1

million children who have at least one par-ent serving in active duty. Here in VenturaCounty, it is estimated that there are nearly5,000 children who are military connect-ed.To show appreciation to those children,

a Kids Day event is planned for April 27,from10a.m. tonoonatNBVCPointMugu.Formore information, see theApril 18 issueof The Lighthouse.Please take time this month to recognize

andappreciate themilitary child in your life.Their support, sacrifices and contributionsare essential to a healthy military family.

—For more information regarding local Monthof the Military Child events or any school issues,please contact the NBVC school liaison officerby calling 805-989-5211 or 805-207-3410 orby emailing [email protected].

One of the catch phrases that has en-tered our pop culture’s lexicon is the term“bucket list.” To paraphrase from an on-line urban dictionary, it’s a list of thingsyou want to do before you die. It waspopularized by a RobReiner movie called“The Bucket List,” in which two termi-nally ill men — played wonderfully byMorgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson— go on a road trip to experience all thethings they want to do before they die.Typically, this list involves something

that is fun or exciting. In the movie, oneof them dreamed of driving a sports cararound a track, while his buddy wantedto do a safari in Africa.You get the idea.Let me suggest a bucket list item that

most people would never even think of. Itdoesn’t cost a cent, nor do you have todrive someplace really far away to do this.I guarantee that if you try this even onetime, you will be moved in your heart andyoumight even shed a tear or two of purejoy.I am talking about volunteering to serve

food to the hungry or the homeless at a

shelter.The first time I did this was when my

friends in college talked me into taking aFriday night and serving food to the needyin Berkeley. Like many who had not donethis before, I had my personal apprehen-sions. By the end of the evening, I cameaway from the event with a tremendoussense of gratitude and perspective that Idid not have earlier that evening.Frankly, that evening was a gift from

God to me. My experience that nightbroke the bubble of school exams, football

games and fraternity life.I spoke to people whom I would nor-

mally never have noticed, whom I wouldhave simply driven past. I was shockedwhen I heard them share with me theirpain, mistakes and wisdom.Most people in hard times only want to

work their way out of a mess if they can.With our current tough economic times,sadly, there are families with children intow as they claw their way back to somesemblance of their old life.As I have gotten older, one of the most

important things I have learned is, “Therebut for the grace of God go I”—meaning,if it wasn’t for the mercy of God in mylife, I could be in the same situation orworse.The flip side of this spiritual lesson is

this: If you have experienced the grace ofGod in your life, pass it on to someonewho needs it badly.Please take time this coming year to

volunteer to serve someone who is lessfortunate than yourself. I guarantee youwill get more in return than what you giveto someone else. God bless you!

Here’s something rewarding to add to your ‘bucket list’

Lt. Riley Smith, an instructorat the Civil Engineer Corps Of-ficers School (CECOS) at NavalBase Ventura County, Port Hue-neme, has been honored as theNaval Education and TrainingCommand (NETC) 2012 OfficerInstructor of the Year (IOY).The award ceremony was held

Feb. 28 at the National NavalAviation Museum on board Na-val Air Station Pensacola.Capt.Kevin Brown, command-

ing officer of the Center for Sea-bees and Facilities Engineering(CSFE) and CECOS, had highpraise for the award-winner.“Lt. Smith has performed bril-

liantly in the execution of his du-ties as an instructor andmentor,”Brown said. “He has had a posi-tive and creative influence on allnewCivil Engineer Corps officershe has touched. He adroitly usesall his tools and neutralizes hisweaknesses to be the most effec-

tive instructor delivering the high-est quality training possible.Earning the distinct honor ofNETC’s Officer IOY is a testa-ment to his infallible work ethicand deep devotion to CECOS’

mission.”Smith said he was humbled at

being selected for the award.“Although I’ve worked hard for

my students, most of whom arenewly commissioned Civil Engi-

neer Corps officers preparing fortheir first naval assignment, I’vefelt there was always more to bedone,” he said.“In our 21st century Navy,

where personnel are expected toaccomplish critical missions inchallenging environments despitelimited resources, we can’t affordanything less than having the verybest Sailors and Marines as in-structors. The risk to mission ac-complishment is too great tochoose any other path.”Smith is the director for the

CECOS Basic Course and assis-tant course director for theNavalConstruction Force OperationsBasic Course. He has been teach-ing students for almost two yearsat CECOS and suggests to thoseconsidering instructor duty, orwanting to make a difference, toremember the importance of thatrole.“I start each class with a dash

of motivation, a personal storywhich relates to both the topic at

hand and the duties of students’future assignments, and use thedepth of my personal knowledgeto impress upon students the im-portance of the topic to theirprofessional success,” Smith ex-plained.Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Jordan, director

of the CECOS Seabee ReadinessDivision and Smith’s supervisor,called Smith a “phenomenal in-structor.”“He is down to earth, and he

relates to students through hispersonal experience,”Jordan said.“He is technically and tacticallysound in his instruction and de-livery.”When askedwhatmakes a good

leader, Smith replied, “Integrityin word and deed is the founda-tion of leadership and mentor-ship. People must trust you willfollow through every time, re-gardless of circumstances. Oth-erwise anything you say or do issuspect and thus lackingmeaningor impact.”

Students and staff from the 254th Civ-il Engineer Corps Officers School (CE-COS) Basic Course recently participatedin a weeklong, scenario-driven field train-ing exercise (FTX) at Fort Hunter Liggettin Central California.The FTX is the culminating event in this

course that is designed to give newly se-lectedCivil Engineer Corps (CEC) officersan in-depth look at what it takes to be-come leaders in the field.Class officer in charge, Lt. Josh Turner,

described the training.“FTX simulates an unimproved terrain

in hostile territory where our job is to pro-vide construction support with limitedresources,” he said. “FTX requires us toconduct operations all up and down thechain of command. The experience famil-iarizes us with what our subordinates willbe doing when we give orders and what

our superiors are looking for when wereceive tasking.”The FTX is preceded by one week of

instructor-led training in the classroom.It provides the practical training portionof the course where students apply whatthey have learned and work to improvetheir leadership skills.Michele Osborne, who has developed

curriculum for CECOS courses for sixyears, said the exercise puts students intoa real-life tactical situation.“They are challenged to think on their

feet,” she said, “and they apply the leader-ship skills they have learned in a controlledenvironment.”Ensign Mallory Smith, a student from

Naval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 3, said communication is key.“One thing I want to focus on when I

join my unit is to ensure everyone in theCOC (Command Operations Center)knows what is going on. It was very im-portant to communicate on patrols andlet the officers back in theCOCknowwhatyou see.”Ensign Nick Lacour, a student from

NMCB 133, concurred.

“Knowing the importance of effectivecommunication in the COC and recogniz-ingmessage priority based on urgency willhelpmewhen I head to battalion,”Lacoursaid.The Basic Course director, Lt. Riley

Smith, enjoys seeing the students in action.He believes the competitive aspect of FTXincreases the students’ effectiveness in thefield.“It’s always gratifying to watch each

CECOS class transform from a team ofindividuals to an individual team,”he said.Nothing hastens that process more thana little shared adversity — FTX, in thiscase.”CECOS provides classroom instruction

and hands-on training on the roles andresponsibilities of Navy CEC officers. Theseven-week Basic Course focuses on of-ficer competencies, military training, fa-cilities management and constructionproject management. Additional trainingis provided specific to members’ first dutystations and on the fundamentals of gov-ernment contracting.Members of this class will graduateMay

When your job is to blow things upunderwater, it’s not hard to keep the at-tention of a classroom full of eighth-graders on Career Day.But when your job is to test the qual-

ity of drinking water, you’ve got a toughtask ahead of you.Nora Reyes of the Public Works De-

partment’s Environmental Division atNaval Base Ventura County was up tothe challenge, bringing an entertainingvideo to enhance her presentation at theMarch 22 event at Ocean View JuniorHigh School in Oxnard.“She’s terrific!” teacher Ying Yaw said

as the students switched classrooms fora second presentation.More than a dozen people who work

at the base — from engineers to Seabees— talked for about half an hour to twodifferent classes about their careers.More importantly for this audience ofyoung teens, they talked about the edu-cation they needed to get those jobs andthe importance of staying focused asthey enter high school.Construction Mechanic 2nd Class

Trevor Buckett of Underwater Con-struction Team 2 had the rapt attentionof about 40 students as he described hismonths of training for a career in un-derwater demolition and construc-tion.“It’s fun, dangerous stuff,” he said.

“You need to know a lot of math andscience to do it.”Buckett, who’s currently enrolled in

a public speaking class as he works to-ward a degree in public health, kept thestudents entertained with stories ofsharks and scorpion fish, of mappingthe ocean floor and of traveling to 29different countries. He peppered his talkwith terms like “Pascal’s law” and “theMonroe effect,” then told about the timehe was startled by a moray eel.“They have gnarly teeth,” he told the

students.“You never know what’s down there,”

he added. “Off Cuba, there was 300 feetof visibility. But in other places, youcan’t see your hand in front of your facebecause it’s so muddy and dark.”He also gave them some practical ad-

vice about next year.“Keep your heads in the game,” he

told them. “In high school, you’ll findthere are a lot of outside interests that

can distract you. Don’t get into trouble.Stay active and healthy. Enjoy your-self!”Reyes, who sprinkled some Spanish

into her presentation, talked not onlyabout her career, but also about someof the obstacles she faced getting there,

including being a woman in a male-dominated field.“Girls,” she said, “feel empowered!”A graduate of Pepperdine University,

she stressed the importance of highereducation and of finding ways to makelearning — and life — fun and reward-ing. She used funny animal videos toteach lessons ranging from “there’s al-ways a bigger fish” to the benefits oftaking a leap of faith.Other presenters from the base in-

cluded electrical engineers, pharmacists,information technology specialists andcivil engineers and a defensive spacecontrol officer from the Naval SatelliteOperations Center.Eighth-grade English teacherMichelle

Grue said she appreciated the talks byall three dozen professionals who vis-ited the school that day.“Career Day is a great idea at this

grade level,” she said. “It gives themsomething to shoot for.”

BESKOUL, Cameroon — Servicemembers from Naval Mobile Construc-tion Battalion (NMCB) 4 are workingalongside and training soldiers from Bat-talion d’Intervention Rapide (BIR) inBeskoul, Cameroon, as they help build amedical clinic for the residents.There are many milestones in any con-

struction project, but erecting the firstwall is always an indicator of progress.“As the partners erected the first wall

of the clinic on the island, there was notonly progress but a great feeling of ca-maraderie and respect for the BIR sol-diers,” said Lt. j.g. Henry Lovett, officer

in charge of NMCB 4’s detachment toCameroon. “On a daily basis the BIRsoldiers assist the Seabees in loading ma-terials onto their rigid-hull inflatableboats, transport them 45 minutes to theisland of Beskoul and provide securityduring construction.”In addition to offering relief and aid

to the people, the Seabees have beengiven the opportunity to teach basic con-struction and building techniques to theBIR soldiers and the islanders of Beskouland Youhme. Passing on this knowledgewill allow the villagers to make muchneeded improvements to their homes andvillage.As part of the partnership the BIR

soldiers also assisted in the constructionof the clinic.Engineering Aide 3rd Class Tyler

Bethke took this as an opportunity topass on his extensive knowledge and ex-perience in structural building.After showing the BIR soldiers how to

read building plans, Bethke taught themhow to measure, cut and construct truss-es.As a project reaches completion, one

of the challenges is to determine how tobest use excess material. The clinic is lo-cated next to the village school, and thechildren of the school were curiouslywatching the Seabees during every phaseof the construction. Because of this, the

Seabees decided to see what they couldbuild for the school children.During the school day, children walk

around to the back of the school houseto use the restroom. Unfortunately, it islocated in a low area where the groundis usually saturated andmuddy, and someof the children don’t have shoes to wear.This was an excellent opportunity to usethe scrap wood for the benefit of the chil-dren. A boardwalk was constructed forthe school.This Africa Partnership Station mis-

sion and the partnership between the U.S.Navy and the Cameroonian BIR is de-signed to strengthen the relationship be-tween the U.S. and Cameroon.

After spending six months studying the ups, downs, ins and outs of photography, 11 chil-dren and teens at Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty (NBVC) have had their best works submit-ted into a regional competition and should know by the end of the month if they’ll move on to a national contest in June.

“To see how far these children have ad-vanced has been amazing,” said Chris Bate-laan, youth director for Child Youth Pro-grams (CYP) at NBVC Point Mugu. “That first week we had nothing but blurred pic-tures.”

The project began in September when NBVC’s CYP received a $5,500 photography grant from the Boys and Girls Clubs, made possible by Sony. The grant supplied seven cameras, two laptops, memory cards, software and a $750 cash stipend to buy photo print-ers, ink and paper.

The students enrolled in CYP’s School Age Care and Teen Programs learned their pho-tography skills through ImageMakers, a photo curriculum that is part of the Boys and Girls Club programming.

“It breaks everything down into easy steps,” Batelaan said. “And now the pictures that are coming out of these cameras are absolutely phenomenal.”

She said the youngsters quickly learned the power of odd angles, of tilting the camera, of working with shadows and light.

The categories in the ImageMakers pho-tography contest are Culture and Tradition, Surroundings, Portraits and What Moves Me, which required an essay or poem to be at-tached. Age categories were 6 to 9, 10 to 12, 13 to 15 and 16 to 18.

A total of 96 photos were submitted for the semi-finals. Judges for that round were CYP Site Manager Jake Munyon, Child De-velopment Center Site Directors Sharon Nash and Tamara LoRay and Teen Coordi-nator Kecia Ciccotti. They whittled the entries down to 35, and it was up to Lt. Cmdr. Karl Zamora, deputy community support pro-gram site manager, and Angel Taylor, execu-tive administrative assistant for community support programs, to get the total down to 12.

One youngster had two entries chosen.Regional winners are expected to be noti-

fied around April 22. A second competition will be held in November.

Batelaan said she has added four more cameras to the collection.

“I want to keep the excitement high,” she said. “I want to keep this technology moving forward.”

The technical director ofthe Naval Surface WarfareCenter Port Hueneme Di-vision (NSWCPHD) spokelast month to the Region-al Defense Partnership forthe 21st Century (RDP-21)at the Ventura CountyGovernment Center.RDP-21 is a group of

local government, businessand civic leaders who sharea common interest instrengthening and elevat-ing the value of Naval BaseVentura County for theDepartment of Defense.The March 5 meeting

was an opportunity forTim Troske to present thecurrent and future state ofthe command, providingdetails on technicalachievements; the role thecommand plays support-ing the global Navy; theimportant work performedby the engineers, techni-cians and logisticians; thecommand’s impact on thelocal economy; the com-mand’s relevance to theSea Test Range; the busi-ness base in terms of rev-enue and work years andother significant issues.“Our intent is to give

this audience a clear pic-ture of how our work playsa significant role in na-tional defense, and how weare a major contributor tothe local economy,”Troskesaid. “These are the peoplewho have political influ-ence and will tell our storyin Washington.”Troske started off the

presentation by citing theglobal impact of NSWCPHD’s engineers.“Every day our engi-

neers are in touch with thefleet around the globe –that means both in personand remotely,” he ex-plained. “We have a world-wide presence … on board

ships, at testing facilitiesand via distance sup-port.”Troske pointed to met-

rics indicating that on anygiven day, 38 personnel aredeployed globally, 339 of-fer distance support, 186handle casualty reportsand 19 are taking care ofengineering investiga-tions.Troske said NSWCPHD

also plays a vital role insupporting Navy shipswhen they come into portfor a combat and weaponsystem assessment.“Just in the past year, we

supported 11 ship visitshere in Port Hueneme,” hesaid. “When ships visit,they get a ‘tune-up’ of alltheir equipment, and theyleave here prepared fortesting exercises, deploy-ment or inspection.”The concept of distance

support was discussed witha focus on the most recentachievement of Aegisreadiness.

“We now have a 24/7Aegis watch where our en-gineers are availablethrough chat to help Sail-ors out at sea with prob-lems they are experienc-ing,” Troske said. “We’ve

been able to reduce re-sponse time from weeks tohours by offering this re-mote capability, and thatreduces costs and increas-es readiness.”Troske talked about the

composition of the com-mand’s workforce, explain-ing that what the commandreally offers is “intellec-tual capital” with brain-power and highly technicalskills.Winding up his presen-

tation, Troske directed hisattention toward develop-ing capabilities.“We are currently work-

ing on the development ofa Center for Maritime Di-rected Energy Testing incoordination with PointMugu,” he said. “With la-sers as part of our future,this is something thatneeds to happen, and wehave been pretty successfulso far.”NSWC PHD is a field

activity of Naval Sea Sys-tems Command and pro-vides the global U.S. Navyfleet with weapon systemin-service engineering, lo-gistics, and test and evalu-ation. The division em-ploys more than 1,900personnel.

Ed Pagliassotti has spent 11 years volunteering at the Retired Activities Office. The office has nine active volunteers;more are needed to staff an office in an area that’s home to 4,600 retirees and 900 surviving spouses.

By Jim RameyFFSC

So, you’ve retired from the military— and possiblya second career as well — and you realize you havesome extra time on your hands. Or maybe you arethe spouse of a retiree or possibly a surviving spouse.The thing is, you still feel the need to give just a littlemore back, but you’re not sure where to turn.Have you thought of volunteering at the Retired

Activities Office (RAO)?If the thought of volunteering hasn’t crossed your

mind, please take a moment and consider the follow-ing.The RAO is a pivotal link betweenmilitary retirees,

local communities and other government and non-government agencies. It is staffed solely by volunteerswho are primarily retired military personnel. Theirmain objective is to assist other retirees, their familiesand survivors of retirees.Many times just a well-directed phone call can aid

a troubled customer in correcting a retiree’s pay is-sue.Or, maybe during a time of mourning, the RAO

staff can provide invaluable information on how toprocess death benefits to the surviving members.Maybe the most gratifying service the RAO offers

is comforting survivors during their most delicatetimes.

Our RAO staff is well-versed in how to get to theheart of a problem and find acceptable solutions inminimal time.Realizing things are always changing, the RAO

staff puts out a bimonthly newsletter covering currenttopics, as well as updates on impacting legislation.With direct oversight and support from the Fleet

and Family Support Center (FFSC), all of the toolsare in place to ensure an active and disciplined op-eration is provided in terms of servicing the vast ar-ray of customer’s needs. With approximately 4,600local retirees in the area, in conjunction with an ad-ditional 1,000 surviving spouses, there is a definiteneed for sustained volunteer coverage.Whether you can donate an hour a week or sev-

eral hours, your willingness to help staff the RAOwill be greatly appreciated. No previous experienceis required. A current RAO volunteer will overseeyour orientation and training while covering operat-ing procedures and instructions. With several check-lists already in place, the startup is easy to navi-gate.If you would like information on the RAO’s ser-

vices, or to volunteer, call 805-982-1023. We lookforward to meeting you and welcoming you into theFFSC family.

By JCMOTF Public AffairsZAMBALES, Philippines —

Philippine andU.S. armed forcesmembers attached to the JointCivil Military Operations TaskForce (JCMOTF) broke groundlast month on a series of projectsin advance of the official start ofExercise Balikatan 2013.The JCMOTF is a combined

U.S.-Philippine task force incharge of managing the human-itarian and civic assistance (HCA)projects to improve the two coun-tries’ military civic assistanceinteroperability. During theseevents, Armed Forces of the Phil-ippines (AFP) andU.S. personnelare conducting multiple medical,dental, veterinary and engineer-ing civic action projects in theZambales Province.During this 29th iteration of

the bilateral exercise, U.S. andPhilippine units will work shoul-der-to-shoulder to accomplisheight engineering civic actionprojects (ENCAP), six coopera-

tive health engagements (CHE),eight community relations ac-tivities (COMREL), five subject

matter expert exchanges (SMEE)and two medical COMRELS.“The amount of work we are

prepared to do as a joint teamcan’t be overstated,” said Capt.Rod Moore, commander of theU.S. JCMOTF.Moore is withNaval Construc-

tion Group 1, which is home-ported at Naval Base VenturaCounty, Port Hueneme.“My AFP counterpart and I

have developed a series of ac-tivities that will both increase ourabilities to function as a team andwill leave a lasting, positive im-pression for the people of Zam-bales,” Moore said. “It’s ourhonor to be here, working along-side such wonderful, profession-al people.”In the days leading up to the

official start of the exercise onApril 5, ground was broken onthe ENCAP construction proj-ects. Medical and religious min-istry participants also made sev-eral visits to barangays andmunicipalities throughout Zam-bales to provide support to thelocal communities.

“We go out andmeet with localhealth workers and provide train-ing and medical advice where it’sneeded,” said Army Maj. KateFlocke. “We’re also working withtheAFP’s 24th Infantry Battalionto do some ‘train the trainer’events so that we can be a forcemultiplier and allow them to pro-vide better treatment for theirsoldiers.”Lt. Cmdr. Ron Kennedy, a

chaplainwithNCG1who is serv-ing as the JCMOTF chaplain, hasscheduled other community rela-tions activities in the area. Hesays that getting to know the lo-cal citizens and spending timewith them is just as important asthe engineering projects.“Repairing a school or install-

ing a bridge are certainly impor-tant and will definitely be appre-ciated, but many times it’s theintangible things like a basketballgame between the U.S. military

anda local orphanage that can cre-ate lastingmemories and a tighterbond,”Kennedy said.There is a sharp focus on the

engineering projects that help in-crease quality of life formany, butthat is not the only goal of the ex-ercise.“Each Philippine and U.S. ser-

vicemember should come out ofthe exercise better trained andequipped than before,” said Lt.Javier Lopez-Martinez of NCG1,theENCAPoperationsofficer. “Aswe go through the process, con-struction products will be given tothe local communities, but thegreatest impact will be the in-creased professional capacity ofeveryone in our joint team.”For Peter Lim, mayor of the

Zambales municipality of SanNarciso, whose district is benefit-ing from several of the scheduledENCAPS, two of the projects

come at an important time of theyear.“The San Pasqual footbridge

currently under construction wasone of many projects forwhichwesimply could not find funding,”Limsaidduring theofficialground-breaking ceremony of a 60-meterfootbridge that will connect twoovergrownandoften floodedareas

of the community. “Thanks to theU.S. andBalikatan, farmers in SanPasqual will be able to transporttheir crops to the village center.”Just southof the footbridge,U.S.

and AFP engineers are building anew schoolhouse for the OmayaElementary School and adding anew roof to the existing school-house — more than doubling the

current classroom space.According to the San Pasqual

footbridge construction site AFPOIC, Lt. j.g. Romel Sotero, thelevel of teamwork shared betweenthe U.S-Philippine Navy Seabeeshas led to a lasting relationship.“We have great teamwork,” he

said. “We are all out on the siteworking together. It’s a great ave-nue to learn from each other andshare techniques. We’ve all had a

great time, andwill be sure to con-tinue learning from each otherdown the road.”Balikatan is an annualRepublic

of the Philippines – U.S. militarybilateral training exercise and hu-manitarian assistance engage-ment.Balikatan in Filipino means

“shoulder-to-shoulder”and char-acterizes the spirit of the exerciseand the Philippines-U.S. alliance.

side-by-side with the taxpayer and do the work forthem.In addition, anyone earning more than $57,000 in ad-

justed gross income must now pay a fee, unless they’remilitary personnel going through Military One Source.In years past, the service had been free to everyone.Those changes had Gonzales on edge. He figured there

would be a huge drop in people using the center.Last year, 2,100 tax returns were filed. So the number

has indeed fallen, Gonzales said, but most who went else-where were clients who had challenging and complicatedreturns.“Those who have come in and finished their returns

here have been quite surprised by the easiness and quick-ness of doing it on their own,” he said. “I did not hearone negative comment. Most people left with a feeling ofself-satisfaction that they were able to do it themselves.”Some who used the center were surprised they had to

pay, but Gonzales pointed out that the fee is still consid-erably less than what people would pay a professional taxpreparer out in town.The tax center is located in Building 103, Room 104,

across the street from the CBC Federal Credit Union.Hours are 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.Monday through Fridayand 10 a.m. to noon Saturday. For information, call 982-4548.

74 lockers and four individual showerstalls.The men’s locker room has 156 lockers

and eight individual shower stalls. Privacyprevails; the long row of tile and shower-heads is gone.Each locker roomhas a sauna and hand-

In response to both sequestration and thereopening of the Warfield Gym next door,the Bee-Fit Wellness Center at Naval BaseVenturaCounty (NBVC)PortHuenemehasslashed its hours and reduced thenumberofclasses offered there and at the PointMuguGym.“Active dutypersonnel are not affectedby

these changes,”saidRamonaPagel, directorof the Bee-Fit. “The idea of a ‘culture offitness’ is not affected. We live in SouthernCaliforniawhere there are oceans to swim inand mountains to hike. We’re just not openasmany hours, and that may not be as con-venient for some people as in the past.”The center’s new hours are Monday

through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.It’s closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday.The class schedule at theBee-Fit has been

reduced from32 to11.AtMugu, it has beencut from 20 to six.Pagel said the reductions were heart-

wrenching.“Someone had written the new schedule

on the board outside the office,”Pagel said.“I thought, ‘Oh, she’s not finished yet,’ andthen I realized she was.”Pagel said she tried to keep classes on a

regular schedule. Zumba and yoga, for ex-ample,areofferedMondaysandWednesdays,and family-friendly cardio sculpt classes areTuesdays and Thursdays, albeit at differentsites.“We tried to accommodate everyone’s

needs as best we could,”Pagel said.She pointed out that before the Warfield

closed15monthsago, theBee-Fitwas closedonSundays, open foronly twohoursonSat-urdays, and open only in the mornings onFridays.
