Why can’t spouses of civilian employees get a vehicle pass?Question: I am a civilian employee at Naval Base

Ventura County, and my wife has been denied baseaccess for transportation. Since I ride my bicycle towork, I often need her to be able to pick me up ordrop me off. In the past, this has not been an issue.I am frustrated with the Pass & ID Office because

their policies are constantly changing, and they areunwilling to treat those who have a career on basewith any respect. There is always a long wait, andwe get pushed to the end of the line.I also understand security concerns of having just

anyone wander onto base, but perhaps the clearancelevel of the sponsor can be considered when it is aspouse whom they are trying to get on base.

Answer: The Pass and ID Office has receivedseveral questions over the past few weeks concern-ing spouses of civilian employees receiving vehiclepasses.The NBVC vehicle pass policy is as follows:

Spouses of civilian employees are not authorizedto receive vehicle passes unless the employee has aphysical handicap requiring a driver to get them toor from work, in which case the employee’s spousewill receive a Care Provider badge that allows baseaccess.Employees who do not regularly drive an auto-

mobile to work — including those who ride a motor-cycle or bicycle — cannot obtain a vehicle pass fortheir spouse.It should be noted that an employee’s security

clearance has no bearing on base access.It is the policy of the Pass & ID Office to grant

head-of-the-line privileges to those in uniform. Manyof our military personnel are students or are pre-paring to deploy and must return to their duties asquickly as possible. Moreover, let us remember thesacrifices those in uniform make for us daily; stand-ing in line a few extra minutes is a small token ofthanks that can be afforded those on active duty.

pose of the camp is to bring theserecovering service members together, andto reinvigorate their minds and bodiesthrough sport.”During the camp, the athletes will be

Three military working dogsat Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) helped four CubScouts earn an achievementlast month, but they had tojump through hoops to do it.And crawl through tunnels,

walk on a balance beam andchase down a bad guy.Rocko, Foxy and Yago put

on a Dec. 17 show for the 6-and 7-year-olds of Pack 3251in Oxnard that the boys won’tsoon forget.“Theywere still talking about

it last week,” den leader DianaMcWhorter said on the thirdday of 2012.McWhorter is a program

manager in the public worksbusiness line at Naval FacilitiesSouthwest and had seen thedogs’ new kennel on base atPort Hueneme.“The Scouts need to earn an

achievement by visiting a policeor fire station,” she explained.“I thought seeing the militarypolice dogs would be differentapproach.”Master at Arms 1st Class

John Caral agreed.“We’re always looking for

ways to foster community rela-tions,” he said.McWhorter’s son, Carson, 6,

was one of the four boys whovisited the kennel that Satur-day. Joining himwereMatthewRomprey, 6, Mundo Estrada,7, and Elias Wagner, 6.They started the visit by

peeking into a military patrolcar and touring the kennel’sadministrative offices, medicalfacilities and storage areas.They sawwhere the dogs live,

where they take baths andwhere they play.They got to see some of the

dogs’ special equipment for warzones, including booties to pro-tect their paws from searingdesert temperatures.Then they saw where the

dogs work — and how.

One by one, Rocko, Yagoand Foxy showed their skills,from jumping fences to over-taking an escaping “suspect,”well-protected with a thickbite-proof suit.“Yago gets excited when he

sees a bad guy,” Caral ex-plained. “It’s like his favoritetoy. He doesn’t want to letgo.”Foxy, the 3-year-old speed-

ster of the group, drew gaspswhen she took off after a run-

ner. Foxy has been clocked atroughly 33 mph.After the demonstrations,

Cmdr. Chris Kenefick, opera-tions officer at NBVC, broughtout his dog, Gina, for an up-close visit. Gina, a 9-year-oldGerman shepherd, recently re-tired after eight years as abomb detector, and Kenefickadopted her.Craig Romprey, Matthew’s

dad, said he was glad his sonhad the opportunity to watchthe dogs in action.“This is a very good thing for

the kids to see,” he said. “Itlooks like these dogs are raisedwith a lot of love. They cer-tainly have great personali-ties.”

Happy New Year! 2011 is in the rear-view mirror.Some of us may be rejoicing to see it go.

Maybe for you, 2011 was a “banner year.”2011 was a learning and growing year forme. It was full of changes, full of surpris-es and a bit revealing as well. Please allowme to reflect on my year with you as Ihope it will serve to spur us on to make2012 a “banner year.”This year I faced a mother growing

older — and the challenges that brings.She spent several weeks in the hospital.She lives on the East Coast, and I am onthe West Coast. What a challenging timeit was! My husband deployed. As Navyspouses, we know that means he’s beengone most of the nine to 12 months in thework-up cycle, and now he’s “really gone.”I went back to work full-time at a job thatI love — supporting military families —but that was quite a change in my sched-ule.And then I got sick.I have been authoring this military

spouse column for eight years. Over theyears, I allowed myself to believe that be-

cause I write and speak on the topic ofmilitary spousedom, I, of course, have ittogether. I was sure I had a support systemin place. When the power outage hitSouthern California, I laughed — I havemy emergency plan and kit. I have a gameplan for most eventualities. Isn’t fantasywonderful?My fellow spouses: The past six months

were so revealing to me. I didn’t have it alltogether at all! I fell off my pedestal.Whilepainful, it was a good thing. I learned somuch during this time, and I hope that thelessons I learned, these experiences, will

makeme a better columnist, a better com-municator and hopefully allowme to passalong to you my lessons learned so thattogether we will navigate life with confi-dence and each other.I believed in the myth of the “Strong

NavyWife”or the “StrongMilitaryWife.”Do you knowwhat I mean? Able to laughin the face of deployment, traverse thecountry in a single bound, unpack thehouse from yet another move in under 24hours and have a gourmet meal readywithout breaking a nail, breaking a sweatand with my makeup perfect at all times.Yeah, let’s let that myth die. Please join

me in amoment of silence for the “StrongMilitary Wife.”I hear time and again – OK, and I’ve

even said it – we need to be independent,confident, resilient spouses. Um – NO!Our Sailors,Marines, Airmen and SoldiersNEVER go out alone. Whether it is onduty, patrol or liberty, they have a battlebuddy.Why in the heck dowe think spous-es should be independent? We need eachother! I need you!And that is where we begin our journey

for 2012: realizing we need strong, healthyrelationships and how to build them.Please join me in the next edition for alook at finding and building those rela-tionships.Until then: Happy New Year!

Worship scheduleLike many Americans this year, I have

one or two personal goals for this newyear.As I look back and compare my past

resolution list with my current one, I no-tice my life’s priorities have changed quitea bit along the way. Not surprisingly, thethings I wanted to happen in my life whenI was 20 years old are not the same as now— 20-plus years later.Althoughmy core values in life— faith,

family and country — have not wavered,most of my lesser goals have.While I won’treveal my past stuff from my youngerdays, I would like to share a couple of mycurrent life perspectives for the future.Looking back at my goals and resolu-

tions in the past — especially during myyounger days — I see someone who ismore preoccupied with material thingsand matters that don’t, frankly, meanmuch in the big scheme of things.As I grow older, I realize that while the

possibility of my owning a brand newPorsche convertible is diminishing eachyear, curiously enough, I find that I trulyrelish keeping my 14-year-old Jeep run-ning as long as possible. I figure within ayear or so, my Jeep and I will cross intothat exclusive 200,000-miles club. Lordwilling, another 100,000 miles after thateven? Besides, do you know how expensive

it is to insure a fast high-performancesports car? Not to mention the fact thatI would always be nervous whenever Ipark my car somewhere!My spiritual goals and prayer requests

for the upcoming year are increasinglymore about others: for example, healthandwell-being for familymembers, friendsand loved ones.Awiseman once said there are twoways

toward the path for materialistic and per-sonal fulfillment. One is the ability to ownor to have nearly everything you want tobuy. The second is to be content and atpeace with the stuff you already have inyour life.If I may share one more thing with ev-

eryone: As I have gotten older, I have ex-perienced the happiness and grace of be-ing grateful for what I already have andalso wanting the best for others aroundme.God bless and have a happy new year!

New year’s resolutions change over time

Parents who think their child is readyto move out of a booster seat and startusing only a standard seat belt might wantto think twice.California law changed Jan. 1.Now, instead of a child moving out of

a booster seat at the age of 6 or when thechild reaches 60 pounds, the child mustbe 8 years old or 4-feet, 9-inches tall.Weight is no longer a factor.“This really makes more sense,” said

Monique Llanos, a car seat technicianwith Safe Kids Ventura County. “Boosterseats are all about height, not weight.”Llanos was at Naval Base Ventura

County (NBVC), Port Hueneme, onWednesday, Dec. 14, to help with a carseat safety check. About 10 drivers pulledup to make sure their child’s restraint sys-tem was the right kind and was installedproperly. Several of these checks are heldeach year.Air Traffic Controller 1st Class Charles

Coleman with Air Operations at NBVCPoint Mugu was making sure it was timefor his 5-year-old daughter, Kirstin, tomove into a booster seat from the harnesssystem she’d used formanymonths—andit was.“It’s important for parents to check

regularly,”Llanos said. “Many don’t real-ize how much their children havegrown.”Children can move into a booster seat

when they reach 40 pounds andwhen theirknees bend at the edge of the seat when

their rear end is touching the back.Kirstin is 46 pounds, and her legs are

long enough for the booster.“We try to do a regular check-up,”Cole-

man said. “We want to be sure we’re incompliance with the law.”

FORT HUNTER LIGGETT – TheSeabees assigned to Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalion (NMCB) 3 completedtheir annual Field Training Exercise(FTX) at Fort Hunter Liggett lastmonth.The FTX, called Operation Bearing

Duel, prepared the Seabees to deploy toa combat zone. To do this, the exercisescenario included placing the battalioninto a fictitious famine- and drought-dev-astated country called Menya in order toprovide engineering support to the Tran-sitional Federal Menyan government.“All of the scenarios that we faced in

Menya were to familiarize us with theculture of various deployment sites of ourAfrican deployment that is coming soon,”said Lt. Cmdr. WilliamWohead, NMCB3’s operations officer.During many of the scenarios, actual

Kenyan and Ethiopian role players werehired to act as theMenyan locals in orderto create more realistic training.The battalion was evaluated on their

construction capability, mobility, com-mand and control, and ability to defenditself in a hostile environment.

“We moved a lot during this FTX,”said Wohead. “We had 10 detachmentsthat had to go out and conduct construc-tion and engineering assessment missions,and in order to do that, we had to besmaller, faster and lighter.”At the completion of NMCB 3’s FTX,

Fort Hunter Liggett had four new SouthWest Asia (SWA) type huts, a timbertower, a timber bridge, a crow’s nest andsome concrete pads for future construc-tion projects.“I really didn’t expect to move somuch,

and I didn’t think that we would be ag-gressed [simulated attack from an enemy]so much during FTX,” said Builder Con-structionman Brett Mehl, a new memberof the battalion. “Being in the fightingpositions [fox holes] is sometimes boring,but it gets exciting when we get aggressed.It is also interesting setting up the fightingpositions, especially when we have to getit done in less than an hour.”

“Two things made this FTX easy forus,” said Wohead. “We just came backfromAfghanistan six months ago, so ourconstruction and tactical skills are stillfresh. Another thing that helped was thatwe conducted our RSO&I (receipt, stag-ing onward movement and integration)back in Port Hueneme, which enabled usto have better training facilities and sup-port so that when we arrived in the fieldon D-6 [6 days before the official start ofthe exercise] instead of D-8 or D-10, aswe normally would do, we could focus onoperations instead of the training.”The biggest challenges associated with

this FTX was the lack of light, which re-sulted in shorter work days, and weather.The temperature frequently dropped to25 degrees Fahrenheit.

MUSAQAL’EH,Afghanistan – In frontof a crowd of dignitaries and elders, theMusa Qal’eh crossing built by Naval Mo-bileConstructionBattalion (NMCB) 4wasblessed and declared open to the public ina ceremony held atop the roadway lastmonth.“[This project] represents what Seabees

have done for 69 years.We don’t just buildfacilities and roads; we build partnerships,lasting legacies, solutions, and linkages toimprove people’s lives,” Cmdr. La TanyaSimms, NMCB 4’s commanding officer,said during theDec. 9 ceremony. “This lowwater crossing linksMusaQal’eh residentswith the Gereshk Road and Helmandprovince’s capital, Lashkar Gah, to facili-tate economic growth and governance.That’s a big deal! Our Seabees and the en-tireMusaQal’eh team should be justifiablyproud!”Standing on the crossing, seeing the vil-

lage elders and district leaders gathered,looking at what his Seabees had accom-plished in sucha short spanof time,NMCB4’s CommandMaster Chief, ConstructionUtilities Master Chief Michael Jenkins,said, “I was very proud to see the troopsget the recognition from Major GeneralToolan. The smiles on the faces of the vil-lage elders and the district leaders said itall!”The wadi crossing project was truly a

joint effort by Navy, Marine Corps and

Army commands, not just NMCB 4. Sol-diers from the 129th and 375th CombatSustainment Support Battalions convoyedprecast components from Camp Leather-neck to Musa Qal’eh. Marines from the7th Engineer Support Battalion (ESB) im-proved low spots on the road leading toMusa Qal’eh. Welders from 7th ESB andCombat Logistics Battalion 6 were also anintegral part of the construction crew, andthe 2/4Marines based atMusaQal’eh pro-vided security and helped procure the rip-rap placed at the base of the crossing to

prevent erosion.Personnel from 2nd Marine Division

(Forward) G9 included Cmdr. EdwardLeitz, the G9 project manager, and ZackMazraani, the civilian structural engineerwhodesigned the crossing andworkedwithNMCB 4 closely to refine the design forease of construction.“It is unique for Seabees to undertake

such a project inAfghanistan because overthe last decade, Seabee projects have beenmore expeditionary in nature and primar-ily for coalition forces. This structure was

designed and built to be more permanentand it’s primarily forAfghan citizens,”saidSimms.“There’s a giant difference doing work

for the Afghan people instead of alwaysfor the U.S. military; there’s a lot of satis-faction. It’s a really good feeling hearing‘manana,’ or thank you, from the peopleas they drove orwalked by uswhilewewereworking,” said Steelworker Construction-man James McMahan, who has workedon the crossing since its start in Septem-ber.

“The best part of this project waswatch-ing as our crew developed from zero expe-rience to really proficient welders so rap-idly!” said Steelworker 1st Class DouglasWhite. “There’s a great sense of accom-plishment knowing that our job here hasa direct contribution to the counterinsur-gency effort.”Watching the ceremony reminded Simms

of situations during a past deployment inIndonesia when she was a lieutenant.“There was a similar atmosphere where

village leaders gathered to bless the projects,show their appreciation, and speak aboutcooperation between nations. Seabees inIndonesia and Musa Qal’eh understoodthe impact theyweremaking both then andin the future,” she said. “They didn’t haveto understand Indonesian or Pashto; theycould see the appreciation inpeople’s smiles.Seabees are excellent contributors to whatwe call ‘PhaseZero’operations, the businessof preventing war.”

HAGATNA, Guam — ANavy Seabee from U.S. NavalMobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 40 became a U.S. citi-zen in a naturalization ceremonyconducted at the U.S. DistrictCourt in Guam on Friday, Dec.9.Construction Electrician Con-

structionman Kallalobe Silmanwas among 48 people from eightnations who declared the Oathof Allegiance to the UnitedStates of America.Silman was attending school

in Dakar, Senegal, for pre-med-icine when he earned a basket-ball scholarship to SouthernNazarene University (SNU) and

a chance to play for the CrimsonStorm in Bethany, Okla. Afterthree years and not satisfied withhis academics, Silman joined theU.S. Navy Seabees in July 2010to see more of America, theworld, and serve his future coun-try.“My mom influenced me, my

brother, and four sisters to dreamand dream big,” said Silman.“America is a place where youcan be successful in life andmakesomething of yourself; a placewhere ‘we the people’ reallymeans something.”As he recited the Oath of Al-

legiance, Silman said he reflect-ed on his family and the tremen-dous support he had received.When asked why he joined the

Seabees, his reply was simple, “Ilike the Seabee spirit and the waySeabees take care of each oth-er.”During the naturalization cer-

emony, U.S. Magistrate JudgeJoaquin V.E. Manibusan Jr.commented on the dedicationand sacrifices military personnelmake to support the UnitedStates. More importantly, hechallenged all new U.S. citizensto embrace their new country,enjoy their new freedoms, and,most of all, to register to vote— a freedom that is suppressedin many countries around theworld.Silman achieved his major

goal of being the first in his fam-ily fromDakar to become aU.S.

citizen.Silman, who speaks three lan-

guages — English, French andWolof, a dialect from Senegal— says his remaining goals are

to complete his initial enlistmentand see what military opportuni-ties present themselves, or finishhis college degree and become aregistered nurse.

The new director of the Fleet & FamilySupportCenter (FFSC) atNaval BaseVen-tura County has come full circle.Laura Hamilton, who started in the job

in early December, grew up near PointMugu, where her father was an engineeron theHarpoonmissile project at whatwasthen the Pacific Missile Test Center. Shegraduated from Channel Islands HighSchool.Hamilton then spent some time experi-

encing the life of many who walk throughthe doors of the FFSC: She became amilitary spouse.“Things were different then,” she says.

“Services like those offered through theFFSCweren’t available. I was a young new-lywed, making my first move away fromhome.”The challenges took a toll, and by 1986,

Hamiltonwasback inVenturaCountywithher two children. She began a long careerwith Ventura County Human Services.In 2005, Hamilton was hired as the dep-

uty director of the Yuma County HealthDepartment, a position she held for five

years. She also earned a degree in businessmanagement from theUniversity of Phoe-nix.In 2010, she decided to try something

entirely different.“I’d worked for county government my

whole career,” she said. “So I applied for aposition at the Yuma Proving Ground.”TheArmy facility, which conductsweap-

ons testing, hired Hamilton as a contractemployee in facilities maintenance andconstruction.“I had to learn a lot of construction ter-

minology very quickly,” she said.Planning, estimating, supplies, acquisi-

tions, payroll, service orders, even informa-tion technology came under her purview.When the two-year contract ended, she

was ready to leave “things” and return to“people.”“I am a real people person,” she said. “I

missed that connection to clients. I learnedthat I need to be involved in social services— that’s what I do, and that’s what I’mgood at.”She was thrilled to be named the new

director of the FFSC and return to Ven-tura County.

“If we can make people’s lives better,even in a small way, that’s important,” shesaid. “That’s what counts.”Frompersonal experience, she knows the

difference theFFSCcanmake, from lessonsin financial management to preparing fordeployment to a simple toddler groupwhere parents can chat about military lifewhile their youngsters play.

“I would have given a lot to have gottentogether with a group of other mothers,”she said. “Manyof these youngpeople haveno family or friends in the area. They needto come together as their own supportgroup, their own community.”Hamiltonwill be heading up the opening

of the newFFSCoffice atCatalinaHeights,the military housing development in Ca-marillo. There’s currently a temporary of-fice in the Catalina Heights Child YouthCenter, but a permanent office will soonopen on Calle la Roda.Hamilton is glad to be back in Ventura

County for a couple of other reasons.First, she’s closer to her now-grown chil-

dren. Her daughter is a homemaker inTemecula, and her son is anArmy captainin Puyallap, Wash.And the other reason?“Strawberries,”she says. “You cannot get

a strawberry anywhere else like you canhere.”

New FFSC director comes home to Ventura County

Construction startsWednesday, Jan. 18,on amajor renovation to the half-century-oldWarfield Gym at Naval Base VenturaCounty, Port Hueneme.Work is expected to take nine months.When the gym reopens in the fall, it will

feature a mezzanine with cardio equip-ment, new locker rooms and showers, andrefurbished heating, ventilation and light-ing systems.Most of the cardio equipment has

moved to the Bee-Fit Wellness Center

across the street from the SeabreezeAquat-ics Center. The Bee-Fit now has the samehours as the Warfield: 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.Monday through Thursday; 5 a.m. to 8p.m. Friday; 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday;and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.There are no showers or locker rooms

at the Bee-Fit, so patrons are asked to usethe facilities at the Seabreeze AquaticsCenter.Only the showers and locker rooms at

the aquatics center will stay open those

hours; the rest of the pool facilities willmaintain their regular hours of 6 to 8 a.m.,11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.Free weights have moved to the pool

deck at the Seabreeze and are availableduring the hours the pool is open.Basketball and volleyball players are

asked to use the Bee-Hive Sports Com-plex, which is also open the same hoursas the Warfield.The Point Mugu Gym is also open the

same hours as the Warfield.

Carrier Airborne Command and Con-trol Squadron 116, the Sun Kings of Na-val Base Ventura County, Point Mugu,has been presented with the GoldenWrench Award by Carrier Air Wing 2.This prestigious award is presented to

only one of the nine competitive squad-rons in the Carrier AirWing for outstand-ing performance in aircraft mainte-nance.Carrier Air Wing 2 commander, Capt.

Dave Silkey, presented the award on Dec.21 to Cmdr. Robert Duong, VAW-116’scommanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. LawrenceNance,maintenance officer, andLt. Cmdr.MichaelDagdagan, assistantmaintenanceofficer.Several metrics were used to determine

which squadron deserved the award, suchas mission capability rate, sortie comple-

tion rate, adherence to maintenance pro-tocol and aircraft appearance.The award is a direct result of the hard

work and tireless dedication of the SunKings’ outstandingMaintenance Depart-ment, which consists of nearly 100 Sail-ors.“We’re really proud of ourmaintenance

team,” Dagdagan said. “This award rep-resents a lot of hard work and dedicationfrom our Sailors.”The Sun Kings are the first Fleet E-2C

squadron to operate the Communication,Navigation, Surveillance/Air TrafficMan-agement (CNS/ATM)modifiedHawkeye,the newest version of the E-2C.VAW-116 deployed with Carrier Air

Wing 2 onboard USS Abraham Lincoln(CVN-72) for an around-the-world de-ployment on Dec. 11. The squadron isprojected for return to Point Mugu thissummer.

Peter Volden always knew therewere better safety goggles outthere somewhere.The transportationmaintenance

supervisor for the Public WorksDepartment at Naval Base Ven-turaCountywas tired of the glare,but other goggles he’d seen werefar too expensive.Until Dec. 14.On that Wednesday, between

buildings 66 and 67 atNaval BaseVentura County, Point Mugu,Volden found an inexpensive pairof goggles that he said knockedoff 75 percent of the glare, and heplanned to recommend a switcho-ver.Linking the latest in safety

equipment with the people whoactually use that equipment wasthe goal of theDec. 14 safety fair,which attracted a dozen vendorsdealing in everything from har-nesses and traffic cones to flash-

lights, gloves and full-body suitsthat protect workers from patho-gens.“We’re already buying safety

equipment, butmaybe there’s bet-ter, more efficient, more effective

equipment out there than whatwe’re using,”said Lt. Cmdr. Rich-ard Ficarelli, production officerfor the PublicWorksDepartment.“We figured we’d let these guyscome out and show us their whiz-

bang stuff. We’ll take the bestideas, the best feedback and pos-sibly come up with multiple op-tions for different items.”Tina Perales, a territory sales

manager for Honeywell SafetyProducts, showed the latest in re-spiratory protection to KeithMatautia, an electrical estimatorfor the 30th Naval ConstructionRegiment.“Whatever keeps our guys safe,

I’m going to check it out,”Matau-tia said.Perales’ display table was cov-

ered in first aid kits, safety helmets,earplugs and other equipment.“The safety field is always grow-

ing,” she said. “Regulations arealways changing, and we alwayshave to be innovative.”Tony Aguiar, the government

account manager for Grainger,which distributes much of theequipment at the base, said thecompanies represented at the fairsell more than 900,000 safety-re-

lated products.“This is a just very small repre-

sentation,” he said.EquipmentOperator 2ndClass

RyanFuller, who helped organizethe fair with the Public Workssafety officerDan Jaquez, said thenewest improvements to seem-ingly small items like flashlights,wrenches and flame-resistantgloves canmake a huge differencewhen it comes to safety.“Think safety twice and act

once,” he said. “That’s what wekeep saying.”Ficarelli said he hopes to make

the safety fair an annual event.“Safety is first and foremost in

everything we do,” he said. “Thebudgets aren’t getting bigger, butour folks are still out there work-ing. Not having money isn’t anexcuse for putting our workers atunnecessary risk.We need to keeplooking for equipment that ismoreeffective at keeping our peoplesafe.”

command have finished establishing theparts list for the product that will nowcome directly to Parker.The PPP supports the Parker Aerospace

Customer Support Operations strategy toexpand its logistic services offerings byenabling theNavy to contract directly withParker on workloads that formerly would

have been direct to the depot withoutParker’s involvement.“Under the PPP agreement, Parker sup-

ports the experienced team at FRC-SWand supplies all of the parts and supportnecessary to perform the repairs with themutual objective of ensuring service read-iness of the worldwide fleet,” noted VicePresident of Parker Aerospace CustomerSupport Operations Bonnie Peat.TheNavy expressed a desire to contract

directly with Parker on all the F/A-18, E-2 and V-22 Parker parts, which has thepotential to generate $10 million revenueannually. For this contract, Parker willhire a resource tomanage the business on-site at FRC-SW.An on-site office and areafor Parker’s inventory and kitting of billsof material has been provided.“We’re excited about the finalization of

this new partnership,” added Peat. “It of-fers great advantages, proficiency andproductivity to the Navy.”

today’s operational environment,” saidRearAdm.MarkA.Handley, Command-er, 1st Naval Construction Division(1NCD). “Both active and reserve com-ponent units provided outstanding sup-port of worldwide combatant command-er requirements, including Phase Zerooperations, Theater Security CooperationPlans, Disaster Relief, Humanitarian andCivic Action efforts, and OEF/ONDmis-sions in support of coalition, joint, andspecial operations forces.”The winners of the 2011 Battle “E”

Award were announced Dec. 22 in Vir-ginia Beach, Va.During its 2010-2011U.S. Central Com-

mand deployment, NMCB 40 deployedpersonnel across 12 sites, two operationalcommands and three countries.The battalion overcame significant lo-

gistical and equipment challenges in ex-ecuting contingency constructionmissionsto support counterinsurgency operationsacross four International Security Assis-tance Force (ISAF) Regions: RegionalCommand-North (RC-N),RegionalCom-mand-East (RC-E), Regional Command-South (RC-S), and Regional CommandSouthwest (RC-SW).The battalion deployed its air detach-

ment two months early in June of 2010,supporting OperationHamkari Baraye inKandahar Province. The detail displacedover six sites, constructing combat out-posts, route improvements, and the build-

up of two Forward Operating Bases(FOBs).Their efforts provided responsive force

protection engineering to allow ISAF toseize control of the battlespace.Throughout the deployment, the bat-

talion executed 252 convoys, developedthree water wells, placed 4,465 cubic me-ters of concrete, rehabilitated a traumacenter and completed three helicopterlanding zones, closing the final “GoldenHour”gap inmedical evacuation coveragein RC-N.The battalion also awarded 216 Seabee

Combat Warfare Specialist pins, 78 skillsets through the Seabee Skills AssessmentProgram, advanced 17 petty officers, in-ducted 10 new chief petty officers, pre-pared 99.5 percent of their personnel withpassing score in the BCA/PFA, sustainedabove 90 percent inmedical readiness, andmaintained 97 percent in dental readi-ness.The battalion also operated its own gal-

ley while forward deployed.At the end of deployment, NMCB 40

closed the chapter on NMCB presence inRC-N, leaving DehDadi II, Afghanistan,the “FOB the Seabees built.”The battalion embarked an entire

NMCB Table of Allowance to CampLeatherneck in RC-SW in support of asister battalion, NMCB 3.In all, NMCB 40 completed a total of

60,654 mandays of readiness training,security operations and construction task-ing in support of Operation Enduring

Freedom.Upon return from deployment, NMCB

40 commenced a structured training pipe-line focused on developing technical andtactical skills through formal and UnitDriven Training.NMCB 40 proudly executed 194 classes

and 31 C-schools to prepare personnel forthe FY12 USPACOM deployment.Furthermore, the battalion executed

various Unit Level exercises that focusedon skill proficiency, team building, andunit cohesion: Small Unit Leaders Week,Super Squad Week and Seabee Olym-pics.Finally, NMCB 40 conducted three

command post exercises, three embarkexercises, and training skill assessment onconstruction readiness.The battalion was the first to implement

theNCF’s newTraining Skills AssessmentProgram, awarding 300 skills onConstruc-tion Readiness Training projects in-ratetechnical trainer, and internal militarytraining.NMCB40personnel planned, organized

and designed a Unit Driven Seabee tech-nical trainer to enhance engineer skillsamong personnel while in homeport. Thebattalion also put a keen emphasis onpersonnel programs and small unit leader-ship during homeport while planning fora challenging deployment to the PacificCommand area of responsibility.It also received accolades for completing

“the most successful Field Training Exer-cise in recent history.”

A total of 291 awards were processedin the battalion for contributions in sup-port of USCENTCOM, Operation En-during Freedom. Awards included SeniorChief Equipment Operator Shane Potts’recognition as the 2011 Robert StethemAward recipient and Steelworker 1st ClassLouis Alvarez’s recognition as the 2011Adm. Claude V. Ricketts Award for In-spiration Leadership.It has been more than a decade since

NMCB 40 won the prestigious Battle ‘E’award, proving just how difficult and im-pressive this recognition is for a unit.When Fighting 40 last received the

Battle ‘E’ in 2001, the battalion had justreturned from a seven-month deploymentto Rota, Spain.“I think it’s a great to get the award be-

cause NMCB 40 worked hard during ourAfghanistan deployment and shortenedhomeport,” said Culinary Specialist 2ndClass Antoine Jones. “It was definitelyearned and not given.”NMCB 40 joins NMCB 28 as the re-

serve Pacific Fleet winner, as well asNMCB 1 as the active and NMCB 26 asthe reserve awardees from the AtlanticFleet.All four battalions will now compete for

the Peltier Award, named for Rear Adm.Eugene J. Peltier, former chief of the Bu-reau of Yards and Docks and chief ofCivil Engineers. The award recognizes theselected NMCB as the most outstandingduring the prior fiscal year.

OKINAWA, Japan — Sea-bees from U.S. Naval MobileConstruction Battalion 40 as-sisted in removing two localOkinawans from their vehicleon Jan. 3 after the driver re-portedly lost control, slam-ming into a tree on Highway75.The driver of the four-door

sports utility vehicle and heryoung daughter were taken toa local hospital for further ex-amination after being pulledfrom the wreckage. According

to witnesses on the scene, themother sustained some bruis-ing on her chest from the airbag, and her daughter had apossible broken arm and headinjury.Seabees on site directed traf-

fic for nearly two hours whileawaiting emergency responsepersonnel. They helped treatthe victims and took the ve-hicle off the highway.

“We just heard a loud crashfrom our project site and start-ed running to the scene to pro-vide assistance and help directtraffic,” saidUtilitiesmanCon-

structionman Travis News-trom.Equipment Operator Con-

structionman Dillon Francissaid, “It’s a good thing wewere there to stop traffic sosoon. That corner is in a blindspot, and another vehiclecould have easily come aroundthe corner and wrecked rightinto her.”

“A few of us ran to the car.When I got there I wentstraight for the driver and no-ticed she was in shock and hav-ing difficulty breathing, so Igot her out, laid her down, and

began first aid,” said BuilderConstructionmanDereckBon-ner.Steelworker 2nd Class Dan-

iel Strompolis said, “ When Igot to the car, Bonner was al-ready pulling the driver out,the car was filled with smoke,I heard a little girl screamingso I jumped in to unlock thedoor so Newstrom could pullher out of the car.”“I’m proud of the way these

guys responded to the acci-dent,” Strompolis said. “Ithink our training enables usto react without hesitation.”

He said he’s feeling the pressure now that he’s a Sea-bee.“I wish the best of luck to those on deployment, and

I want to do them proud,” he said. “I’m feeling reallygood about this fight.”Also returning to the box-off after a one-year absence

is Builder ConstructionmanDeangelo Davies, now withthe 31st Seabee Readiness Group at NBVC Port Huen-eme.Davies couldn’t compete last year because he was de-

ployed to Afghanistan. The previous year, he lost in asplit decision to a boxer who went pro immediately afterthe fight.“The next week he was on HBO,”Davies remembers

with a wry laugh.A track star out of tiny Clinton, S.C., Davies, who’ll

be 28 later this month, discovered boxing while attend-ing San Diego Mesa College. It’s in his genes — hisgrandfather, Robert Davies Jr., was a Navy boxer. Hismother, Cynthia Davies-Merritt, was on aNavy softballteam.With a record of 9-4, Davies says he feels well-prepared

for the box-off.“I stayed in shape in Afghanistan,”he said. “AnArmy

sergeant gave me a punching bag that some of the locals

had made out of sawdust. I covered it in duct tape andused it the whole time I was there.“Plus, I’ve got a lot more experience.”New to the box-off is Oxnard native Danny Silva, who

turned 28 on Christmas Eve. The 2002 Channel IslandsHigh School graduate played basketball growing up anddidn’t discover boxing until three years ago, when he waslooking for a way to let off steam on board the USSTheodore Roosevelt (CVN -71).“I was introduced to it by a buddy, and I fell in love

with it,” said the aviation boatswain’s mate, aircraft han-dler airman. “It definitely made life easier.”Silva says he’s “fortunate and blessed” to be back home

for training, especially with the holidays. He’s thankfulfor the chance to spend time with his mom, sister andbrother, all of whom live in Oxnard.Also returning to the box-off is Master at Arms 3rd

Class Rhonda Mcgee, stationed at Guantanamo Bay.Her first official fight was at last year’s box-off, whenshe went against Crystal Renfroe of NMCB 5— and atough home crowd. She lost that first fight and now hasa record of 3-3.Also fighting in the box-off will be:• Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class (AW) Carlos

Moore of VAW-120, Naval Station Norfolk, Va.• Operations Specialist 2nd Class Gary Philpot, Com-

mand Carrier Strike Group 10, Naval Station, Norfolk,Va.• Engineman 3rd Class Richard Pollard, Amphibious

Construction Battalion 2, Little Creek, Va.• Boatswain’sMate Seaman Rosemary Ray, USS Ben-

fold (DDG-65), San Diego.• Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Nicole

Saunders, Naval Computer and TelecommunicationsArea Master Station Atlantic, Naval Station, Norfolk,Va.• Aviation Ordnanceman 3rd Class Jose Vasquez, USS

Carl Vinson (CVN-70), North Island.The opening ceremony for the Armed Forces Boxing

Championships is Tuesday, Jan. 31. Finals are Friday,Feb. 3.

Angels will be returning toNavalBase Ventura County for thefirst time in eight years,” saidCapt. James McHugh, com-manding officer, NBVC. “TheBlue Angels will headline the2013 Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty Air Show at Point Mugu. TheBlue Angels’ aerial maneuverswill exhibit the professionalqualities of the Navy personnelwho fly, maintain and supportthe aircraft.”The Blue Angels flew in the

first air show at Point Mugu in1960. Then called the Space Fair,the air show saw the team flyingthe F11F-1 Tiger.Adm. Chester W. Nimitz or-

dered the creation of the teamon April 24, 1946.More detailed air show infor-

mation will be released as moremilitary flight demonstrationsare confirmed.
