A farewell from Capt. JimMcHugh

I wanted to take this opportunity for my last “Askthe Captain” article to thank you all for the sup-port over the last three years. It has been a very fastthree years but also a very rewarding time. Since dayone the mission that I preached to the Naval BaseVentura County staff is, “Our Mission is to supportthe tenant commands to accomplish their mission.”That includes support not only for the active dutyand government workers but also family support.I believe that I have been able to accomplish thatmission. I could not have done that, however, withoutthe hard work of all the dedicated personnel whowork for NBVC. You are the glue that keeps thisinstallation running. Thank you for your dedication.Having been at NBVC for nine years over three

different tours, I have seen this installation change

in many ways, but all that change has been positive.A critical partner in the continued success of NBVCis the Ventura County community. This community isthe most supportive community I have ever seen inmy 26 years in the Navy. We are truly blessed to besurrounded by such a supportive community. I wantto thank the Ventura County community for theirconcern, interest and support of the men and womenwho live, work and deploy from NBVC.I could not think of a better command and loca-

tion to end my Navy career. You all have made thistour as Commanding Officer of NBVC a pleasure,and it has truly been an honor and privilege to com-mand Naval Base Ventura County. I look forward toseeing you all again out in town, as I will be stayingin the area. Fair Wind and Following Seas.

Forty expectant mothers from Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) got to be treated, as they put it, “like queens for a day,”when the PGA Tour and 2012 Northern Trust Open honoredthem at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles.The moms-to-be were picked up by bus at 7:30 a.m.Wednes-

day, Feb. 15, and taken to the country club, where they weretreated to lunch and a baby shower. Each brought home a“Shower in a Box,” filled with baby clothes, a diaper bag andother essentials for a new mother, and when they returned tobase, they could pick up a brand-new crib that turns into atoddler bed.Several of the women also won prizes in a raffle, including

two airline tickets to anywhere in the United States and a vaca-tion at a five-star resort.“This was a super sweet blessing,” said Christina Martinez-

Salinas, whose first child is due in April.Her husband, Utilitiesman 3rd Class Jesus Salinas, just re-

turned home from a six-month deployment with Naval MobileConstruction Battalion 5.“It was amazing,” said Pamm Klieman, a pre- and perinatal

specialist with the Fleet and Family Support Center who trav-eled with the women to Los Angeles.It was Klieman who received the call from the organizers of

the PGA Tour’s Birdies for the Brave program that they want-ed to conduct “Operation Shower” for the expectant mothers

Have I mentioned that my husband isdeployed? Yep. We missed Thanksgiving,Christmas, New Year’s and Valentine’sDay. I have to admit that I think the latteris the loneliest. The previous three areholidays we celebrate as families andfriends, but Valentine’s Day — well, it isabout us as a couple. Hard to celebratewhen you’re not together. Or is it?I decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day

by ignoring it. I worked a little late, playedwith the dogs, ate fast food (I hate cookingwhile Scott is gone) and ignored the day.Then I got an email frommy husband thatremindedmewhy Imarried him andmademe realize how I missed an opportunityto celebrate my marriage.Here is what was in my inbox:“Sugar, had a busy day but not too busy

to think of the love of my life. An emailis no substitute for giving you a specialValentine’s Day, but the good thing is wecan celebrate Valentine’s Day when I gethome. Thanks for the Valentine’s Day box… but mostly, thanks for being the wom-an behind that box.“It occurred to me that maybe, just

maybe, being apart onValentine’s Day can

be a good thing.“Would I dwell on your love for me if I

were sitting across from you? Would Imarvel that you stay with me through de-ployment after deployment, missed mo-ment after moment, if we were hand inhand right now? Would your voice in-stantly bring me joy if I woke to it everymorning? Would your Skype-pixilatedsmile make my day if I saw it every day?Would I appreciate every email, everypackage, every written word, every tokenof your love if we never felt the sting ofdeployment? I would like to think I wouldnot take you for granted if deployment

never separated us, but the reality is de-ployment reveals your inner beauty, yourinner strength, your determination andcourage — and makes me love you evermore. I guess Valentine’s Day apart is thegreat ‘revealer.’“Just for the record… I’m not a fan of

being apart but if we have to miss impor-tant days I am glad for what it teaches meabout my bride… she’s my precious pearlof great price.”For the record, my husband normally

sends emails with about 10words so pleasedon’t think he writes like this all the time.But more than that, it made me realizehow I missed an opportunity to reflect onall that I have in this man, to celebrate hislove for me and renew my commitmentand love for him.Next time I’ll leave work a little early

and spendmore time observingValentine’sDay, celebrating the love of my life, wheth-er he is here or not — because THAT iswhat Valentine’s Day is all about: celebrat-ing love.

edition of The Lighthouse.

Worship schedule

For millions of devout Jews and Chris-tians in the world, the major holy days ofPassover and Easter are getting closer.Speaking as a Christian pastor and

chaplain, one of the most important reli-gious holidays for Christian believers willoccur in the next few weeks. According tomany Christian churches worldwide, theseason of Lent is the observance of theliturgical calendar year fromAshWednes-day and reaching its culmination with thecelebration of Easter Sunday.During the season of Lent, many Chris-

tians often fast from food or abstain fromnormal activities in their regular routine.A key purpose to this spiritual exercise isso one can take the extra time to pray andexamine one’s life so they can better followthe life of Jesus Christ in their lives.Whether you follow or believe in this

practice, I believe there are still great ben-efits for people taking time from their busylives to “fast awhile” from all the sensory

overload they deal with every day. Fromubiquitous cell phones ringing, texting,or e-mails we respond to back and forthevery day, there is less time for us to thinkabout something greater than the nextdeadline or project due in our in box.One of my favorite spiritual authors is

Father Henri Nouwen. Here he wonder-fully removes the froth and distractionabout the busyness of life in this insightful

quote. He writes, “This brief lifetime is myopportunity toreceive love,deepen love,growin love and give love.”Therewillalwaysbeanotherdeadlinewhen

yourcurrentassignmentends.Likewise, thereis another big project with your name on italready. In themeantime, are you taking thetime to do an inventory of what is really im-portant in your life? Likewise, do you try tostop along the way to thank God for thatwith whichHe has already blessed you?In thebig schemesof things, isn’t life about

showing love and gratitude to the ones youcare for? For many patriotic Americans Iknow, for example, it is about showing thelove andgratitude for all the returning veter-ans coming back from overseas. I think it isjust amatter of slowing down our lives a bitsowecan figureoutwhat is goingonaroundus.I hope you all will have truly spiritually

blessed Holy Days in the upcomingmonths!

OKINAWA, Japan – Seabees fromU.S.Naval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 40 volunteered last month tohelp tear down a concrete wall at a churchin Okinawa to facilitate new renovation.Six Seabees did what they do best: build-

relationship event with Chief LogisticsSupply JoseOrtega andChaplain Lt. TroyAvery.Construction Electrician Chief Dan

Baldwin, the safety officer for NMCB 40,cleared the event for all safety and healthhazards, and the volunteers eagerly de-molished the wall and assisted whereverthey could.With six Seabees on the job, the work

was done before lunch. As a reward fortheir hardwork, the church provided lunchfor the volunteers as well as coffee anddoughnuts throughout the day.“This is a great way to get off base! The

Although the next school year is nearlysix months away, the deadline to apply forfinancial aid is approaching quickly.Any student planning to attend college

in Fall 2012 should be completing theFederal Application for Financial StudentAid (FAFSA). Although some aid maystill be available afterwards, many pro-grams have a deadline of March 2.Try to submit the FAFSA as early as

possible in order tomaximize your chanc-es for college scholarships. Students andparents should try to complete 2011 in-come tax returns prior to completing theFAFSA. If this is not possible, file yourFAFSA using estimated tax figures andmake corrections after you have filed yourtax returns.It is easiest to complete the FAFSA on-

line at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. The FAF-SA on theWeb allows families to transferinformation provided on federal tax re-turns from the IRS database to the FAF-SA on the Web. The FAFSA will need tobe signed by the students, and at least oneparent whose information is provided onthe formmust also sign. Student and par-ent can apply for PIN numbers while com-

pleting the FAFSA on theWeb so you cansign the form electronically. Missing sig-natures cause delays in processing. (Note:There are special exceptions for parentsunable to sign due to active military dutyor natural disaster. Contact your collegefor further information.)Information from the FAFSA will be

used to determine federal and state aid,including grants and student loans. Ad-ditional scholarships may be available aswell. The website www.mcsfex.net has auseful tool to assist in finding scholar-ships.

Students wanting to attend college inCalifornia should know that Gov. JerryBrown’s planned budget for 2012-13 in-cludes changes to Cal Grants, free aid of-fered to California students pursuinghigher education. Cal Grant awards arebased on a combination of grade pointaverage (GPA) and income, and manymilitary dependents use Cal Grants tofund their college education.Cal Grant “A”currently gives recipients

up to $5,472 at a California State Univer-sity (CSU) and up to $12,192 a year tostudents attending the University of Cal-ifornia (UC). Under Brown’s proposal,GPA requirements for the Cal Grant “A”will rise from 3.0 to 3.25 and Cal Grant“B,” which provides up to $1,551 in as-sistance, will go from 2.0 to 2.75.To qualify for a Cal Grant, the FAFSA

and grades must be submitted by March2. For more information visit the Califor-nia Student Aid Commission at http://www.csac.ca.gov/ or your high schoolcounselor.— For more information please contact theNBVC School Liaison Office at 989-5211 [email protected].

The battalion also receivedthe FY2011 1st Naval Construction Division’s Pacific FleetBattle Efficiency Award.“When I was looking for my next set of orders, I had an

CAMP MITCHELL, Spain – SeabeesfromNavalMobileConstructionBattalion(NMCB) 3 relievedNMCB5 of all Seabeeconstruction responsibilities in Europe andAfrica during a formal ceremony Feb. 14.The relief in place and transfer of au-

thority ceremony (RIP/TOA) marked theofficial end of NMCB 5’s deployment toEurope and Africa that started in Augustwhen they deployed fromNaval Base Ven-tura County, Port Hueneme.Before the RIP/TOA could occur, a

weeklong inspection and review was con-ducted of all equipment, supplies, projects,facilities and Civil Engineering SupportEquipment (CESE).Unlike a ship, when a Seabee battalion

deploys, they do not travel with their equip-ment. Instead, all of the constructionequipment and supplies that they will useare already at their deployment sites. Adetailed turnovermust be conducted beforethe oncoming battalion commenceswork.The equipment and supplies that the bat-

talion uses is called a Table of Allowance(TOA). For an NMCB, the entire TOA,which is worth more than $70 million, isdesigned to support operations and sustain-ment of a 600-Seabee battalion, conductingforward contingency and humanitarianassistance operations anywhere in theworld, said Chief Logistics Specialist

Frankie Acevedo, the NMCB 3 supplychief.“If any tools, parts or other supplies are

found to bemissing during the inspection,they need to be on order or placed on or-der,” said Acevedo. “We have to maintainthe TOA at 100 percent readiness.”The CESE undergoes a more thorough

inspection in a process called the BattalionEquipment Evaluation Program (BEEP).NMCB 3 Alfa Company, consisting ofconstruction mechanics and equipmentoperators, inspected and received custodyof more than 200 units of CESE. Whenthe inspectionwas complete, a red diamondshaped sticker with a white number three,called a BEEP sticker, was placed on eachpiece of CESE.“The BEEP sticker identifies what type,

and what specific Seabee unit the CESEbelongs to,” said Construction Mechanic1st Class James Gongas, from NMCB 5.A red diamond identifies the CESE as

belonging to an NMCB. A triangle willidentify it as belonging to a Naval Con-structionRegiment and a square is anUn-derwater Construction Team.Along with the equipment and supply

turnover, NMCB 3 relieved NMCB 5 ofconstruction project responsibilities all overEurope and Africa.Some of the ongoing projects include

building a school and a bathroom facilityfor the locals in Gende Gerade, Ethiopia,and building clinics in Djibouti, Africa.

Duong received transfer or-ders to Navy Air and Missile DefenseCommand in Dahlgren, Va.“During my time as CO of this squad-

ron, I have witnessed the hard work andselfless dedication by the Sailors in mycommand,” said Duong. “It has been anhonor and privilege for me to serve mynation, as we worked together to do ourpart to defend freedom. I wish the SunKings the best during the rest of deploy-ment and beyond.”Dale, now the 38th commanding officer

of the Sun Kings, most recently served atHeadquarters U.S. Northern Commandprior to his assignment as executive officerof VAW-116. A native of Minneapolis,Dale graduated from the University ofMichigan in 1994.“VAW-116 is in a great position to con-

tinue its success,” said Dale. “We haveseveral challenges ahead of us during theremainder of this deployment, but theyare challenges that we will face as a team.I will strive to uphold the same standardsof excellence that our Sun King Sailorshave so greatly embodied.”Previous assignments includeUSSLake

CAMPLEATHERNECK,Afghanistan– Naval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 4 transferred authority of CampKrutke to NMCB 11 in an afternoon cer-emony at Camp Leatherneck, HelmandProvince, Afghanistan, on Feb. 13.Cmdr. La Tanya Simms, commanding

officer of NMCB 4, and Cmdr. LoreAguayo, commanding officer of NMCB11, exchanged salutes before a flag detailreplaced NMCB 4’s battalion colors withNMCB 11’s to signify the official transferof authority.“I am proud at the way our battalion

has handled whatever our supported com-manders needed of us,” stated Simms.“TheMusa Qal’eh crossing is an excellentexample of the positive impact our Sea-bees have made here in Afghanistan.”The process of turning the camp over

to NMCB 11 began earlier this monthwhenNMCB 11’s advanced party person-

nel arrived on Camp Leatherneck. Thebattalions worked together to turn overmaterials, equipment and tools to NMCB11, whose delayed party personnel are dueto arrive in the near future.“I am confident that our extensive train-

ing in homeport has prepared our Seabeesto safely and effectively execute our mis-sion throughout Afghanistan,” statedAguayo. “All of our Seabees have ex-pressed extreme motivation and enthusi-asm to provide support to our coalitionforces and our Afghan partners.”While deployed toAfghanistan, NMCB

11 will conduct general, mobility and sur-vivability engineering operations, defen-sive operations, Afghan National Army(ANA) partnering, and detachment ofunits in Combined/Joint Operations Area(CJOA)-Afghanistan in order to enablethe neutralization of the insurgency andsupport improved governance and stabil-ity operations.Homeported inGulfport,Miss., NMCB

NMCB4 embeddedmore than 200 Sea-bees with Special Operations Forces (SOF)operating throughout the country. TheSeabees built infrastructure and providedcampmaintenance at remote outposts sup-porting “clear, hold, and build”and villagestability operations in rural areas of Af-ghanistan. The teams deployed to everyregional command in Afghanistan, con-structing more than 150 Southwest AsiaHuts for a variety of uses and greatly im-proving the quality of life for SOF.In early December 2011 NMCB 4 com-

pleted construction of a lowwater crossingin the Musa Qal’eh District for RegionalCommand Southwest CommandingGen-eral’s number one engineer priority. Atcompletion, 1,000 crane lifts and 15,000eight-inch welds were performed to erecttwo 60-meter crossing structures. The Sea-bees’ “Can Do!” spirit was on full displayas the crew endured long hours operating

outside friendly lines and wading throughtwo feet of water in the riverbed to com-plete the project ahead of schedule. Thecompletion had immediate positive effects,

providing residents year-round access tothe District Center and bazaar.“It was a really good feeling hearing ‘ma-

nana,’ or ‘thank you,’ from the people asthey drove or walked by us while we wereworking,” said Steelworker Construction-man James McMahan.In an effort to improve local construction

practices and prepare the Afghan peopleformore responsibilities in anticipation ofthe Coalition Forces drawdown,NMCB 4deployed a team of six Seabees to provideconstruction quality assurance and trainingto bothMarine civil affairs teams and localcontractors. The team inspected electricalgrids, playgrounds, schools, canals, clinicsand bridges — a total of 100 projects val-ued at $40 million.

“Working with the other services andteaching Afghans proper constructionmethodswas an incredible experience!”saidConstruction Electrician 1st Class RyanNichols.In a model display of efficiency, the

NMCB4WaterWell Team completed fourdeep-waterwells at remote combat outpostsin southern Afghanistan. The completedwells allowed the bases to become moreself-sufficient and, on average, saved tax-payers $490,000 in bottled water costs perlocation.

“I could not be more proud of everySeabee in this battalion for their hardwork,creativity, flexibility and ability to simply‘get ‘er done!’” Simms said.NMCB4 is being relieved byNMCB11.

Here we sit in the middle of February,and if you’re like most of us, our well-intended resolutions have faded like themoney in our wallet seems to do.The truth is we know resolutions are

promises we make to ourselves with goodintentions, but they seldom have the “stay-ing” power. For the most part, we vow tomake these alterations to our lifestyle ingood faith, but we tend to not take themall too serious.With that being said, now might be the

time to make a pledge that we are veryserious about—a pledge whichwon’t fadewith time. Call it a promise to finally takeownership of our own financial destiny.If you’re wearing a uniform, you have

taken an oath to protect our freedom andour way of life. Thank you for your selflessand steadfast commitment to abide by thatoath. Now, would you be willing to takeanother oath — an oath that will protectyour own economic freedom while great-ly increasing your chances of coping withfuture financial challenges?With the “Military Saves” campaign in

full effect, you have the perfect opportu-nity to make the pledge for a brightertomorrow. In terms of saving and invest-ing, there really is no time like the presentto start making small modifications to ourspending habits and putting our financialplan into effect. Your oath in the form ofaMilitary Saves pledge can literally change

your life.Here are five quick tips to not only start

the year off right but, more importantly,end the year with solid financial footing.•Make a practical and realistic spending

plan. Your spending plan is the foundationto your financial decisions. To ensure suc-cess, it is vital that your plan is a realistic

expectation of money allocation. Contactthe Fleet and Family Support Center forfree software that will guide you in thisprocess.• Get into the habit of using cash. Cash

turns money into a physical “thing”withphysical limits. Giving a cashier a plasticcard to swipe just doesn’t “pinch”asmuchas handing over numerous $20 bills.• Set financial goals. Actually write out

and list financial goals with specific re-quirements. Establish short-term andlong-term goals. Example: Pay downcredit cards within the next 12months. Or

start a “529”college savings plan this year.Your budget should have actual achieve-ment dates.• Reward yourself. Starvation budgets

work about as well as starvation diets.Provide yourself some incentive when youmeet your budget goals. You have to havesome sense of inspiration other than sim-ply reducing or removing the debt.• Participate inMilitary SavesWeek. By

filling out a pledge card, you will startreceiving information on how to makebetter financial decisions. You do not com-mit any money in this campaign. Whatyou will commit (to yourself) is your dec-laration of continued financial growth inthe sense of broadening your financialliteracy.So, when you are out and about on the

base and you see one of our many pledgeboxes, take a moment to fill out a pledgecard and drop it in.In this time of increased uncertainty

about the economy, stability in themilitaryand a myriad of other concerns, it hasnever beenmore imperative tomake soundfinancial decisions.If you have a question about Military

Saves or any of our financial programs,call your Naval Base Ventura County fi-nancial educators JimRamey at 982-3640or Dan Savage at 989-8844.

of NBVC. The program had been well-received at other military installations.“The military is very near and dear to

my heart,” said NBA legend Jerry West,executive director of the Northern TrustOpen. “I believe it is important to showthemhowmuchwe appreciate their serviceand sacrifice.”Kleiman reached out to the ombudsmen

andFamilyReadinessGroup coordinatorswho serve the base and tenant commands,and they got the word out to mothers-to-be. The 40 spots filled up on a first-come,

first-served basis.The shower incorporated the Holly-

wood-based theme, “A Star is Born.”Ac-tress SarahMichelle Gellar, knownmost-ly for her work in “Buffy the VampireSlayer,” played a decidedly different rolethat day, serving as guest host of theshower.Raffle winners were announced Oscar-

style, with the phrase “And the winner is”preceding each name.Ship’s Serviceman 2nd Class Crystal

Zibrowski, assigned to the Point Mugubarracks, won the two airline tickets.“We haven’t decidedwhere we’ll go,” she

said as husband Anthony tried to fit thecrib into the back of their sport-utilityvehicle. She’s due April 20.She described the shower as “fabulous”

and said she had no idea it would be soextravagant.Martinez-Salinas spoke for many mili-

tary spouses when she said the event filleda void. Her family lives in Texas, and noone locally has become a close enoughfriend to hold a shower.“Not having family here, it’s nice to have

someone throw a baby shower and showappreciation,” she said.

Loser contestants to burn calories,” saidRamona Pagel, who manages the Bee-FitHealth andWellness Center and organizedthe 15-week weight-loss competition. “Ifyou walk three miles you’re going to lose250 to 300 calories, and 3,500 is a

pound.”Most of the walkers finished in about

45 minutes or less. The last-place finisher,who was pushing a jogging stroller, had atime of 49:52.The first-place finisher among women

was Builder 1st Class DeAnna Dimeo ofthe 31st SRG with a time of 24:41. Com-ing in second was Wendy Coffey at 26:53
