One of the six F/A-18 Hornets that make up the Blue Angels Navy Flight
Demonstration Team passes the snow-covered Topa Topa Mountains
and comes in for a landing at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu,
Friday, Jan. 11. The pilot, Lt. Ryan Chamberlain, and flight officer, Lt.
Cmdr. Michael Cheng, flew in for a planning meeting for the upcoming
air show at Point Mugu, set for Sept. 28 and 29. They had been at a San
Francisco air show planning meeting the day before and were headed
to El Centro a few hours later to help plan the air show there. For a look
at the history of Point Mugu air shows, see Page 7. For more about the
Blue Angels and how Chengs life has changed in the six months since
he left NBVC to join the squadron, see the Feb. 7 Lighthouse.

Question: What is the base policy on charging
personal vehicles at electric-vehicle charging stations?
Ive seen some available on base, but theyre locked.
Answer: At this time, charging personally owned ve-
hicles at charging stations installed using appropriated
funds is not allowed by law. Essentially, it would be
similar to allowing you to gas your car at the govern-
ment vehicle fuel station.
We are, at this time, similarly prohibited from pursu-
ing a reimbursement for power taken for private use
versus offcial use.
However, the Navy Exchange is exploring the possi-
bility of offering recharge stations for a metered cost to
the customer. There is a pilot station open in Bethesda,
Md., and two stations are set to open in the San Diego
area this year.
The Navy is a strong supporter of green technology
and energy for the feet, and pursuing these pay-for-use
options with the NEX is one way to extend that initia-
tive to Sailors and their families. Taking proper care
of our resources is important from both a fscal and
environmental standpoint, and electric vehicles are one
way the average citizen can really make a difference in
that area.

Wearing the uniforms purchased for them by the Naval Base Ventura County Chief Petty Officers Association, volleyball and flag-football
players at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard pose with their thank-you banner.
By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse
The Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Chief Petty Officers Associa-
tion paid the registration fees and cov-
ered uniform costs for this years four
volleyball teams and flag football team
at E.O. Green Junior High School in
Oxnard, a school with which NBVC has
a formal partnership agreement.
In all, 80 local youngsters 60 vol-
leyball players and 20 flag football play-
ers benefited from the project.
This partnership has far exceeded our
expectations, said Dave Castellano, as-
sistant principal at E.O. Green. With
the budget cuts California schools have
experienced, we would not have been
able to finance the projects the base has
helped us with, this being one of
them.
It cost $250 to register the five teams
with the City of Oxnard Recreation and
Community Services. The uniforms ran
another $300.
As part of NBVCs partnership with
the school, Navy volunteers spend time
with E.O. Green youngsters and help
maintain the school. Several play bas-
ketball with students at lunchtime, and
others helped spruce up murals on the
school grounds.
Chief Logistics Specialist Carlos Lo-
pez of Naval Supply Systems Command
at NBVC said the association contacted
Castellano to see how it could help, and
the vice principal suggested the volley-
ball and flag-football project.
Lopez said the youngsters shook hands
with the chiefs who brought the uni-
forms to school.
They were very nice and apprecia-
tive, he said.
The youngsters also made a large
thank-you banner for the association
and signed it with such messages as
Thank you for everything, We really
appreciate it and Theyre awesome!
One was especially poignant.
Its nice to have someone who cares,
it read.

Each installment will highlight recent
trends that Force Protection identifies as
common or special concerns, as well as
ways everyone can help alleviate them.
Lost Common Access Card (CAC)
The NBVC Police Department aver-
ages four reported incidents of lost CAC
per day. Losing your CAC puts everyone
on base at risk, as an unauthorized indi-
vidual may attempt to use your CAC to

wallet. Also:
Do not leave your card unattended at
your computer terminal.
Do not leave your card inside your
vehicle.
Do not hang your card on your vehicle
rear view mirror.
Place the card in your wallet or purse
when you are not using it.
Individuals who lose their CAC will be
delayed at the gate and will require an

The pharmacy at Naval Branch Health
Clinic Port Hueneme is being renovated
and only one window is open, extending
the wait time for all prescription-related
matters.
Lt. Alisha Berry, administrative ser-
vices officer for the health clinic, said
work is expected to be completed March
30.
Until then, she suggests patients plan
ahead and drop off prescriptions or, for
recurring prescriptions, sign up for mail
order.
The drop-off box is next to the number
kiosk at the pharmacy. Filled prescrip-
tions will be ready for pickup in 48 hours,
except for those dropped off on a Friday
afternoon. Those will be ready the fol-
lowing Tuesday.
For standard refills, call 1-866-286-
8249 and place the order at least three
days prior to the day you plan to pick
up your prescription.
For long-term recurring prescriptions,
patients are encouraged to use the TRI-
CARE Mail Order Pharmacy. Log on
to http://www.express-scripts.com and
click onto the TRICARE prompt or call
toll-free 877-363-1303.

Seabees from Underwater Construction
Team (UCT) 2 joined Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalion (NMCB) 4 in a field
training exercise at Fort Hunter Liggett
in Northern California last month.
This joint exercise gave 18 Seabees from
NMCB 4 a first-hand look at underwater
construction team operations while they
provided direct security support to UCT
2.
UCT 2s Construction Dive Detachment
(CDD) Alfa and command element par-
ticipated in the exercise in preparation for
CDD Alfas deployment across the Pa-
cific. The deployment will take the unit to
Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, Korea and
the Marshall Islands.
UCT 2 and NMCB 4 personnel be-
came a cohesive team over the couple
weeks they spent together, said Senior
Chief Builder (SCW/DV) Chris Torina of
UCT 2. The NMCB 4 security personnel
did an outstanding job providing small
unit coastal security to UCT 2 during their
diving operations.
UCT 2 was tasked with precision de-
molition, detailed bridge inspection, un-
derwater salvage and a diver casualty
scenario.
With multiple tasks and travel came
convoys, hasty defense planning and, most
importantly, the need for teamwork be-
tween both commands, said Chief War-
rant Officer 3 Andrew Burns, UCT 2s
operations officer. NMCB 4 and UCT 2
were up to the challenge and were operat-
ing as a cohesive unit in no time.

Although many college scholarships are


available to military dependents, few schol-
arship foundations reach out to military
families like the Wings Over America
Scholarship Foundation (WOASF).
In February, the executive director of
Wings Over America will visit Naval Base
Ventura County to discuss the Wings Over
America Scholarship, but she will also
include general information about a vari-
ety of military scholarships, as well as how
to put your best foot forward when apply-
ing for them.
WOASF was established as Wings Over
the Atlantic in 1987. Its mission is to pro-
vide college scholarships to dependent
children and spouses of U.S. Navy service
members in naval aviation, whether officer
or enlisted, active duty, retired, honorably
discharged or deceased. Recipients are
selected on the basis of scholastic merit,
community service and extracurricular
activities.
Candidates who submit applications
must be graduates or graduating seniors
of an accredited high school or an equiv-
alent home school or institution and must
plan to attend an accredited academic
institution during the 2013-14 school year.
Candidates who are dependent children
of a sponsor must plan to be enrolled in
an accredited college as a full-time student
taking a minimum of 12 credit hours per
year in order to graduate with a bachelors
degree. Candidates who are spouses of a
sponsor must plan to be enrolled in an
accredited college as a full-time or part-
time student taking a minimum of nine
credit hours per year in order to graduate
with an associates degree or a bachelors
degree.
Most awards are for one year. The schol-
arship currently averages $2,000, and
WOASF awards more than 40 one-time
scholarships and a few renewable scholar-
ships each year. Since WOASF administers
other aviation scholarships, one applica-
tion may enable a student to apply for
several scholarships.
WOASF requires students to prequali-
fy for scholarship funds before submitting
a scholarship application. The purpose of
this pre-qualification screening is to es-
tablish eligibility based on both the appli-
cants dependent status and the applicants
sponsors service.
Prequalification forms are available on
the WOASF website and are due no later
than March 1 for the 2013-2014 school
year. Once the pre-qualification form is
submitted, the full application and sup-
porting materials are due March 30. All
the forms will be available again Oct. 1 for
the 2014-15 school year.
The scholarship is not available to de-
pendents of Coast Guard or Marine
aviators. Scholarship checks will be mailed
directly to the college or university. De-
pendent children can win an award four
times they need not be in consecutive
years and dependent spouses have no
limitation on the number of awards they
can win.
Even if a student does not qualify for
this scholarship, it would still be beneficial
to attend the scholarship brief. General
information about a variety of military
scholarships will be covered. Also, gen-
eral information about applying for schol-
arships will be available.
When looking for funding sources for
college, every little bit of information can
help.
The final date and time for this scholar-
ship brief has not yet been confirmed.
Please contact the NBVC school liaison
officer to be placed on an interest list so
you can be contacted once the brief is
scheduled.

ica.us.

Worship schedule
As I write this article, the religious pro-
gram specialist (RP) rate is celebrating its
birthday! Im sure chaplains throughout
the fleet agree with me in affirming and
appreciating the invaluable support that
RPs bring to the chaplain ministry.
Thirty-four years ago, the Navy realized
the need to provide chaplains with a Sail-
or specifically trained and tasked to help
them meet the four core functions of the
Chaplain Corps: provide, facilitate, care
and advise. The Navy currently has 889
religious program specialists, both active-
duty and reserve; 424 currently serve with
Marine units.
In the Seabee battalions, the chaplain
and RP comprise what we call the Reli-
gious Ministry Team.
Two Scripture passages from the book
of Ecclesiastes come to mind reflecting
the unique relationship shared between a
chaplain and RP:
Two people are better off than one,
for they can help each other succeed. If
one person falls, the other can reach out
and help. But someone who falls alone is
in real trouble.
A person standing alone can be at-
tacked and defeated, but two can stand
back-to-back and conquer.
Religious Program Specialist 2nd Class
Brian Adamson explains, I provide ad-
ministrative support and force protection
in contingency environments. Adamsons
attitude embodies the heart of what en-
ables the RP rate to serve as a chaplain
ministry force multiplier. From managing
community relations activities to setting
up command surveys, from filtering walk-
ins to scheduling counseling appointments
and filling in as department head, RPs
play a vital role in the overall success of
the chaplain office.
Beyond their professional responsibili-
ties, RPs also serve an invaluable rela-
tional role in the unit. As a fellow enlisted
service member, the RP understands that
oftentimes junior troops are more com-
fortable talking with and confiding in the
RP than in engaging the chaplain directly.
In this way, the RP is able to create a re-
lational bridge, guiding a shipmate toward
emotional and spiritual resources that a
chaplain can provide.
While we focus our celebration on the
RPs, let us also reflect on how we all serve
on various teams in our personal com-
munities, and how, in those teams, we can
embody the heart of an RP. In what rela-
tionships can you offer the support of
encouragement or strength? What per-
sonal mission can you get behind to pro-
tect and defend?
In closing, the following excerpt is from
Navy Live: The Official Blog of the
United States Navy:
Over the past 34 years, RPs have prov-
en their value time and time again as pro-
fessional partners within the Religious
Ministry Team, supporting chaplains who

Second of two parts
Twenty years after having start-
ed as a space fair in 1960, the air
show at Point Mugu had, by the
1980s, evolved into a highly pop-
ular event full of special aircraft
and spectacular demonstra-
tions.
In 1981, for example, the U.S.
Air Force SR-71A Blackbird
made its first appearance at the
air show. It returned in 1983 and
1984.
Tactical Electronic Warfare
Squadron (VAQ) 34 flew for the
first time in an air show in 1983.
Its KA-3B Skywarrior demon-
strated the air-to-air refueling
capability of the newest tenant
squadron at Point Mugu.
The 1986 Point Mugu Air Show
celebrated 75 years of naval avia-
tion. Air Test and Evaluation
Squadron (VX) 4 displayed its
75th anniversary F-4S Phantom
II in an overall dark blue paint
scheme with gold markings.
The Navys flight demonstra-
tion team, the Blue Angels, flew
the F/A-18A Hornet for the first
time in 1987, and the Air Force
demonstration team, the Thun-
derbirds, returned in 1989, flying
the F-16A Fighting Falcon.
The Salute to Victory show in
1991 was held during July and
featured the Blue Angels. Some
static display aircraft carried nose
art from the Persian Gulf War.
The 1992 Point Mugu Air Show
was highlighted by the Canadian
Snowbirds Demonstration Team.
The show marked the first time
an Air Force F-117A Stealth
Fighter from the 49th Fighter
Wing and an B-1B Lancer bomb-
er made an appearance on static
display.
At the 1996 air show, Point
Mugu celebrated 50 years of test
and evaluation excellence. The
show featured the Naval Weapons
Test Squadron Point Mugu, VX-
9 Det. Point Mugu and the Blue
Angels.
In 1998 the air show returned
after a one-year absence with the
U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds as
a highlight. The F-117A Stealth
fighter also flew that year.
The Blue Angels returned in
1999. The Firehawks of HCS-5,
working with a Navy SEAL team,
demonstrated the Navys special
warfare group.
Despite the lack of a headline
act, the 2000 Point Mugu Air
Show drew record crowds over
three days. Military aircraft such
as the F-14, FA-18 and F-15 kept
spectators attention.
The Thunderbirds returned to
the 2001 Point Mugu Air Show.
Naval Weapons Test Squadron
Point Mugu flew the NF-14 Tom-
cat and QF-4S Phantom II, and
there was an FA-18C Hornet
flight demonstration from VFA-
125.
The 2002 Point Mugu Air Show
marked the return of the Thun-
derbirds, but the event was can-
celed early Saturday afternoon
after the crash of a Naval Weap-
ons Test Squadron Point Mugu
QF-4S (plus) Phantom II, killing
the two-man crew.
The event was canceled again
the following year because there
was no headline demonstration
squadron. The war with Iraq was
a contributing factor.
By 1980s, Point Mugu air shows were popular events

An SR-71A Blackbird does a fly-by during the 1981 air show at Point
Mugu. A big draw, the Air Force craft would return in 1983 and 1984.
This years air show at
Naval Base Ventura County,
Point Mugu, will take place
Sept. 28 and 29. Look for
a story related to the air
show in each edition of The
Lighthouse until the Sept. 19
special air show edition.

Preparing for a military de-
ployment can be hectic and
stressful. Being away from
home for an extended period
of time isnt easy to handle,
especially if the deployment
could put your military mem-
ber in harms way. Military
OneSource and USAA are great
resources for deployment
checklists and calendars, but
financial needs should also be
at the top of your list. Its easy
to get into debt, but its not as
easy to get out.
Typically the Navy-Marine
Corps Relief Society (NMCRS)
provides loans to active-duty
military members and their
eligible dependents with the ac-
tive-duty member present.
However, eligible dependents
can be assisted while the active-
duty member is deployed if,
prior to deployment, your mil-
itary member fills out a pre-
authorization form. This form
caps the amount of money you
can receive via an NMCRS in-
terest-free loan. Without pre-
authorization, NMCRS can
assist with an emergency only
after receiving permission from
your military member through
command contact.
There are several documents
that are important to have on
hand while your military mem-
ber is deployed, one of the most
significant being the general
power of attorney that can be
provided by Navy Legal Ser-
vices. A general power of at-
torney allows you as the agent
to conduct any sort of business
on behalf of the principal, or
it may be specific, limited to the
transactions expressly provided
for in the document. It can al-
low you to sign a lease, make
updates to bank accounts (as
long as your name is on the ac-
count), update contracts,
change your address and carry
out other functions as if your
military member were there to
sign personally.
Bank account management
can be a touchy subject during
deployment, depending on who
manages the household financ-
es when you are both at home.
If your military member man-
ages the finances, see if he or
she will grant you access to the
bank accounts, credit cards,
etc., during the absence.
It is important to create a
deployment budget and know
how much each of you is spend-
ing, because deployment can
lead to debt if finances are not
managed carefully. You will
both need money for things
such as food, clothing and fun,
but you will still have other fi-
nancial responsibilities, such as
rent, utilities, insurance, car
payments and credit card debt.
If you need help with a deploy-
ment financial plan, stop by
NMCRS and get help creating
a budget.
There are two other things
you should do to prepare your
finances for an upcoming de-
ployment: Create an emergency
fund and find out what credi-
tors can offer military members
on duty. The Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act (SCRA) pro-
vides extensive financial pro-
tection to people deployed in
the U.S. military, including as-
sistance with reduced interest
rates, termination of residential
and vehicle leases, help with
taxes and much more.
You can get more informa-
tion on this from the NMCRS
office, located in the Welcome
Center at Naval Base Ventura
County, Port Hueneme.
Before deployment, do your
homework. It will pay off in the
long run.
Deployment can be financial drain; get help at NMCRS
The Navy-Marine Corps
Relief Society office will close
at noon Friday, Feb. 15. Both
the office and the Thrift Store
at Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty, Port Hueneme, will be
closed Monday, Feb. 18. In an
emergency, contact the Amer-
ican Red Cross at 877-272-
7337.
A volunteer orientation is
scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednes-
day, Feb. 20.

Abraham Lincoln stopped by
the Camarillo Youth Center at
the Catalina Heights military
housing complex last month.
So did Michelle Obama, John
F. Kennedy and LeBron James.
Nearly two dozen youngsters
who go to the Child and Youth
Programs (CYP) center per-
formed in a Tuesday, Dec. 11,
wax museum, in which they
pretended to be their favorite
hero. They researched the person,
then gave a speech outlining the
persons accomplishments and
how they related to one of six
character traits: trustworthiness,
respect, responsibility, fairness
caring or citizenship.
Every day after school, they
worked on this for about a
month, said Katie Riege, pro-
gram head at the youth center.
They researched the character,
designed a costume and practiced
the speech.
Parents and friends were in-
vited to the performance, during
which each child gave the speech
to everyone, then one-on-one to
whoever came by and pushed
the button, activating the wax
figure.
Hospital Corpsman 1st Class
Lamar Hooper of Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 4 enjoyed
the Squanto performance giv-
en by his 7-year-old daughter,
Kaiya.
Shes had this infatuation with
Squanto ever since Thanksgiv-
ing, Hooper said as Kaiya told
the audience how the Patuxet Na-
tive American showed the char-
acter trait of caring in helping the
Pilgrims learn to grow their own
food so they could survive the
winters of the 1620s.
Lt. James Gallagher of the
Navy Research Lab was im-
pressed with the performances of
his sons Casey, 9, who came as
Pat Tillman, and Avery, 7, who
came as John F. Kennedy.
I thought it was great, he said
of the project. There was a lot
of research they had to do. Plus,
it takes a lot of courage for little
kids to stand up in front of adults
and perform like this.
Some of the youngsters who
named heroes based more on
their celebrity status or sports
prowess than anything else got a
chance to find out more about
the persons character. One child
learned that actor Jackie Chan
collects money to build schools
in China through his Dragons
Heart Foundation. Another
learned that star football player
Arian Foster of the Houston Tex-
ans supports the Boys & Girls
Clubs.
Fohn Watson, who attended
the wax museum with her hus-
band, Air Force Master Sgt.
Dudley Watson, said she was
proud of their daughter Jadens
performance as first lady Michelle
Obama.
Her reading skills are good,
so she was really confident, she
said of the 6-year-old. And she
looks great in that dress.

With a GDay, mate! Rordan Jacobs, 5, launches into his speech as
wildlife expert Steve Irwin in a performance for his mother, Jocelyn.
Rordans dad is AE1 Rob Jacobs of Fleet Readiness Center Southwest,
Det. Point Mugu. Rordan was one of about 20 youngsters performing
as one of their heroes in a Camarillo Child and Youth Programs event.

Child and Youth Programs at Naval
Base Ventura County is looking for
coaches and referees for youth sports.
Children 3 to 12 years old will be par-
ticipating in a winter soccer league dur-
ing February and March, and youre
invited to share your skills and experi-
ences with them and build their charac-
ter and self-confidence at the same
time.
Youth sports and healthy living pro-
grams are vital in the development of
young individuals, said Anthony Un-
changco, youth sports coordinator for
the base. We are the starting point for
many youth to learn about becoming
and staying active and developing
healthy habits theyll carry with them
throughout their lives.
The youth soccer program lasts for
six weeks, and all participants will re-
ceive a jersey and an award at the end
of the season.
Character development is also an
emphasis of the program and aids youth
in gaining the confidence to build posi-
tive relationships, lead and work well
with others, Unchangco said.
Those interested in volunteering dur-
ing this soccer season or for any other
youth sports programs should contact
Unchangco at (805) 982-5460 or email
him at nbvcyouthsports@gmail.com.
Training and resources will be provid-
ed.

Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding officer of Naval Base Ventura County, recently presented a CNIC Life Saving Award to five base
firefighters who provided immediate medical treatment to a man who collapsed in October while playing basketball on board Naval Base
Ventura County, Port Hueneme. Shown from left are Vasquez and the award recipients: firefighter Michael Thomas, Engineer and Acting
Chief Sammy Cardona, firefighter James Madera, firefighter Adrian Orellana, and firefighter James Jones. Fire Chief John Adkins, far
right, also attended the Dec. 18 awards ceremony.

The call came in just before 8 on an
autumn morning. The dispatcher said a
man was down and unresponsive at the
basketball courts on Harris Street at Na-
val Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme.
Five firefighters from Station 73 on
Patterson Road responded immediately
and found the mans colleagues already
performing CPR. The man was not
breathing and had no pulse.
But today, the man is alive and well,
and the five firefighters who helped save
his life were honored last month with a
Commander, Navy Installations Com-
mand (CNIC) Life Saving Award.
Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding of-
ficer, Naval Base Ventura County, pre-
sented the award Tuesday, Dec. 18, to
Engineer Sammy Cardona, the acting
captain during the Oct. 14 incident, and
firefighters Michael Thomas, Adrian
Orellana, James Jones and James Made-
ra.
Ive been involved with plenty of full
cardiac arrests, but this is the first one I
know of where the person walked out of
the hospital, Madera said. Most of
them dont end that way.
Madera credited the mans colleagues
with having the immediate presence of
mind to call 911 and initiating CPR.
They deserve as much credit as any-
body for saving the mans life, he said.
They started working on him the minute
he went down. They deserve a ton of
credit.
There were other factors at work, he
added.
In his favor, the man was young, he
explained. There was somebody there
to respond immediately. The response
time by the ambulance was quick, and
were fairly close to the hospital.
As soon as they arrived at the basket-
ball courts, the firefighters determined
the man had no pulse. They made sure
his airway was clear, set up oxygen, took
over the chest compressions and got him
out of his sweatshirt so they could apply
the defibrillation pads.
We worked quickly to get as much
done as we could before the advanced life
support ambulance arrived, Madera
explained. Theres more manpower on
scene and theres more room to work.
Firefighters Thomas and Orellana con-
tinued to perform CPR in the ambulance
as it headed to the hospital.
In all, the firefighters performed CPR
for 45 minutes and used the defibrillator
five times.
Their diligent efforts eventually paid
off, as they were able to restore his heart-
beat just prior to turning him over to the
emergency room staff at St. Johns Hos-
pital, said Fire Chief John Adkins. The
basic criteria for a CNIC Life Saving
Award is that the patient had no viable
heartbeat on arrival and the efforts put
forth restored vital functions to the point
where the victim survived for at least 24
hours. In this case, the man is well on his
way to making a full recovery.
Madera called the case awesome.
Its the best outcome possible, he
said. Its exciting. We all show up to
work every day hoping to make a differ-
ence.

For the third time in his life, Lt. Cmdr.
Anthony Kucia has saved someone from
certain death, by acting on instinct and
without really thinking about it.
The department head of clinical ser-
vices for Naval Branch Health Clinic, Port
Hueneme, was at his brothers home in
McHenry, Ill., over the holiday when a
fire broke out at the townhouse complex
next door.
Using the skills he learned over 32 years
in the Navy, Kucia jumped into action,
repeatedly running into the smoke and
past the flames to pull out three people
and their dog.
By the time it was over, only a neighbors
cats had perished.
I close my eyes and I can still see it as
clear as day, Kucia said nearly three weeks
later as he recounted the incident from his
office. It was like watching a movie but
this was for real.
Kucia, 50, was playing board games
with his family the night of Dec. 26. It
was after 9 p.m., and a lot of the neigh-
bors, exhausted the day after Christmas,
had already gone to bed.
Wed just finished a game of Uno, he
recalled. Someone stepped outside and
smelled smoke.
It was already far from a silent night,
with wind ripping through the area. Tem-
peratures were in the teens.
Suddenly, mixed with the sound of the
wind, were several loud pops.
The building next door was made up of
four attached townhouses. The garage
door of one townhouse was open, and the
sound theyd just heard was the car inside
losing its tires to flames and intense
heat.
Flames, whipped by the wind, were
quickly spreading. A woman stumbled out
and said that except for her cats, she was
the only one in the townhome. Kucia ran
to the back to try and get the cats out.
All I could think of was the movie
Backdraft, Kucia said.
Then, through the second-floor window
of the adjacent townhome, he noticed a
green Christmas light. He realized there
was a chance someone was inside.
Kucia began banging on the door, yell-
ing Fire! and Get out!
He saw a light turn on.
I knew I had to act quickly, so I just
said a prayer, God, please protect me,
and I made my way through the back pa-
tio door, Kucia said.
The smoke was thick, and flames had
reached the unit. A man was standing at
the bottom of the stairs with his wife,
small child and dog that stood almost
waist-high.
I thought I was going to get bitten,
Kucia said. But there wasnt any time to
waste. The man was totally discombobu-
lated, and the screams of the wife and
child echoed throughout the home.
The fumes were terrible, he recalled.
I know its not the fire that kills most
victims, he said. Its the fumes.
Kucia grabbed the 4-year-old and ran
with the child and her mother out to safe-
ty. The man stayed behind, insisting he
needed to find his second dog.
Kucia ran back in and brought out the
one large dog, hoping it would help coax
the confused man out of the burning
building.
It worked; on his third try, Kucia got
the man out. He later learned that the
second dog had made its way to safety and
was found alive and well.
The cats that lived in the unit where the
fire started did not survive.
Firefighters arrived several minutes af-
ter everyone was out and were able to
contain the flames to just the two units.
Two other units sustained heavy smoke
damage. All in all, damage was estimated
at more than $250,000. The cause of the
fire remains under investigation.
Kucias family temporarily took in the
couple, their young daughter and the
dogs.
The owners were in obvious shock, but
the dogs recouped quickly, eating all the
cat food they could find, Kucia said.
His heart aches for the two families who
lost everything the day after Christmas.
I feel bad for those families, he said.
Then again, with Gods grace, theyre still
alive.
There have been two other times when
Kucia saved lives without really thinking
about it.
Right after high school, just before he
joined the Navy, he jumped into a pool to
save a friend who had hit her head in a
dive and was knocked unconscious.
Another time, he was whitewater rafting
with an elderly couple when a life pre-
server became snagged on a branch, tip-
ping over the canoe. The man reached the
riverbank, but Kucia heard the woman
cry out that she couldnt swim, so he made
his way over to her and pulled her to

My dad tells me the couple still talks
about it when they run into him, even af-
ter all these years, he said.
Before leaving Illinois, Kucia was inter-
viewed by a Chicago ABC News affiliate
and became a local hero. Hes taken it in
stride, but his wife, Aphrodite, is still reel-
ing from her husbands experience.
Even though youre looked on as a hero
by many, my wife reminds me that she
could have been a widow, Kucia said. I
love my family very much, and I under-
stand where she is coming from. But I did
what I felt I had to do.

Lt. Cmdr. Anthony Kucia, department head

Sea Cadets motivate their shipmates during the Physical Readiness Test, part of the 10-day boot camp at NBVC Port Hueneme.
Sea Cadet recruits conduct physical training on the Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme sports field during a 10-day boot camp over winter break.
Photos in this package were taken by Sea Cadets
undergoing advanced photojournalism training over winter
break at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme.
Sea Cadets from 13 states converged on
Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme over their winter break for a 10-
day recruit training.
More than 300 cadets came from as far
away as Alabama and Michigan to learn
about the Navy. Advanced trainings in
photojournalism, seamanship and Marine
Corps martial arts also took place.
The recruits experienced almost every
aspect of boot camp, from 5 a.m. reveille
and physical training before sunrise to
swim qualifications, watch standing and
marching lots of marching.
Making this winters recruit training
even more challenging was the compressed
schedule. The curriculum required for the
14-day summer boot camp was complet-
ed in only 10 days due to the limited time
available over winter break.
These cadets are incredible, said Lt.
Cmdr. Monica Marinelli of the Naval Sea
Cadet Corps and a staff officer for the
local Sea Cadet unit. They give up their
winter break from school to complete boot
camp. So instead of sleeping in and loung-
ing around, theyre getting up early every
morning, making an inspection-ready rack
and marching five or more miles each
day.
The training concluded with a gradua-
tion pass in review ceremony.
The cadets all looked their best, Mari-
nelli said. They were sharp, together and
looked as good as any Navy division that
had eight weeks to get ready.
Now that boot camp is over, these cadets
may attend any advanced trainings across
the country for which they are eligible,
including shipboard seamanship; aviation;
Sea Cadets
hold 10-day
training at
NBVC
300 youngsters from 13
states go through boot
camp, attend advanced
classes during their
winter break
A recruiting brief for those
interested in the Sea Cadets will
be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan.
26, at the Seabee Museum.
The program is for youth 10
to 18 years old who are inter-
ested in learning more about
the Navy and other sea servic-
es.
The program is also looking
for adult volunteers, especially
current and former military
members.

By Andrea Howry

For Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class An-
gelo Anderson, cycling is enjoyable and
challenging.
Third-grade honest truth: I like it,
he said. I like the physical aspect of it
the stamina, the discipline. Youre in
the same stance for a long period of time,
and you have to concentrate on it, focus
on it, to finish the race.
Retired Chief Gunners Mate Hector
Varela, who lives in Temecula, likes being
outside on the city streets and concrete
bike trails.
I used to mountain bike before my
injury, he said, so this gets me back out
on the road.
Anderson, Varela and six others are
among the 11 members of the Navy-
Coast Guard cycling team that will com-
pete in May in the Warrior Games, which
pits wounded, ill and injured members
of the armed forces against one another
in U.S. Paralympic-style competitions.
On an unusually chilly Saturday morn-
ing, the cyclists gathered at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme
to practice sprinting. During the Jan. 11-
13 training camp, they would also work
on drafting and endurance.
Anyone driving by 23rd Avenue and
Patterson Road that Jan. 12 would have
seen the riders on half a dozen standard
bicycles, one recumbent bike and two
hand cycles. The tandem wasnt there; it
is ridden by a visually impaired athlete
and piloted by a sighted cyclist. Neither
person was at the camp.
The cyclists coach, Rick Babington,
lined up water bottles along the sidewalk
every 40 meters so cyclists could work on
their sprints.
From the starting line, get as much
speed as you can by the first water bottle
and make sure youre in the right gear by
the time you get there, he said. Then
push, push, push! Get that speed up!
Babington began coaching the Navy-
Coast Guard athletes at the end of 2010,
the same time NBVC held its first train-
ing camp. A former speed skater who got
into cycling as a cross-training technique,
he began coaching cycling in 1999 and
has worked with the U.S. Paralympic
team since 2005.
Cycling is a sport you can do as a life-
style, he said. You can do it for the rest
of your life in some form.
Both Varela and Anderson learned how
to adapt after their injuries.
Varela lost a leg in a motorcycle acci-
dent last February and now uses a hand
cycle.
Anderson, whos stationed at Naval
Medical Center Portsmouth, Va., was
shot in Afghanistan in 2010 and suffered
severe lower-body injuries. Gradually, he
made his way back to an upright bicycle
and competed with it in the Warrior
Games last year, slowing down in the last
lap to help a troubled teammate make it
across the finish line.
Babington has seen the sport improve
the quality of life for many of the athletes
he works with.
I see it here at the camps and at the
Warrior Games, and I know it helps them
back home, he said. Whether you com-
pete or not is irrelevant. As my chiroprac-
tor friend says, Movement is medi-
cine.
He has seen wounded warriors with
post-traumatic stress disorder get into an
almost meditative state while cycling.
The repetitive movement of the bike
can do that, he explained. Some be-
come a whole different person when rid-
ing.
Cycling helps wounded warriors quality of life, coach says

Members of the Navy-Coast Guard cycling team that will compete in the upcoming Warrior
Games make their way down Patterson Road during a training session Saturday, Jan. 12.
Coach Rick Babington of Sunland watches
the approaching riders. A former speed
skater, he got into cycling as a cross-
training technique. He has been with the
U.S. Paralympic program since 2005 and
the Navys wounded warrior program since
2010.
Coach Rick Babington points out the water
bottles marking 40 meters and 80 meters
to HM3 Angelo Anderson of Naval Medical
Center Portsmouth, Va. Anderson, who
was shot twice in the legs in Afghanistan in
2010, now competes in the 30K, an 18.6-
mile ride to the finish line.
Whether you compete
or not is irrelevant. As
my chiropractor friend
says, Movement is
medicine.

17 in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Track and field athletes and swimmers
will train at Pennsylvania State Univer-
sity next month. Volleyball and wheel-
chair basketball competitors will train
in Colorado Springs.
Were bringing the sports to where the
coaches and the athletes are, explained
Lt. Megan Haydel of Navy Wounded
Warrior-Safe Harbor, which coordinates
care for wounded, ill and injured Sailors
and Coast Guardsmen. California is
ideal year-round for outdoor sports like
cycling.
She said the January camp and one
coming up in March are especially excit-
ing because the athletes who are at NBVC
training have already been selected for
the team.
Were eager for the opportunity for
them to hone their skills and make prog-
ress toward their goals, she said.
During previous training camps, the
athletes had taken time out of their train-
ing regimen to share their stories with
young Sailors in the Naval Construction
Training Center, go sailing and have
beach barbecues. None of that was built
into the January camp.
They are here to train, Haydel
said.
NBVC became a training center for the
Warrior Games three years ago.
In 2010, when the program first be-
gan, there was a need to find a home and
a motivated team that could help de-
velop an idea into the program that it is
today, said Fred Morgan, the athletic
director for NBVCs Morale, Welfare and
Recreation program who was instrumen-
tal in bringing the Navys wounded war-
riors to the base. So NBVC and Navy
Wounded Warrior-Safe Harbor worked
out the details and really became the
pioneers of the Navy-Coast Guard Adap-
tive Athletics Program, otherwise known
as the Wounded Warrior Program. The
changes or restructuring are all part of
growing a program and finding efficien-
cies that make sense.

Fifteen volunteers from Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 3 took their Can
Do spirit to Camarillo last month to
construct a patio for a teen group
home.
Using materials donated by businesses
and independent professionals from the
local area, the Seabees donated a days
work to build the 8-foot-high covered
patio and transform the state-funded fa-
cility into a more comfortable home.
When the young women arrive here,
they have just left a place where they were
either abused or neglected, said one of
the homes 10 guardians, Monique Mu-
jica. An addition like a patio may seem
trivial, but its one of those details that
make our facility feel like a home a
place where the youth here can relax, en-
joy a day together and feel at ease.
The home houses six girls 12 to 17 years
old. State funds cover maintenance and
operating cost, leaving nothing for added
construction such as the patio. Amenities
like that must be paid for through fund-
raising and volunteer efforts the pri-
mary reason why the patios construction
had been stalled for two years.
Builder 1st Class (SCW) William Re-
ider, who coordinated the Navys effort,
said the Seabees provided a variety of
costly skills. The group included Navy
builders, steelworkers, utilitiesmen, engi-
neering aids and construction electricians
who acted as carpenters, welders, plumb-
ers, general engineers and electricians,
respectively.
A normal contract for a job with this
many laborers could range up to $75 a
person, said Reider. Taxpayers allowed
the Navy to give us our skills. From our
standpoint, its only fair to use these skills
to help our community. We love our
neighbors, and they can depend on us for
help.
Like the teens who live in the group
home, facing an uncertain future is noth-
ing new to many Sailors. Its not uncom-
mon for a Sailor to change homes and
schools five to 10 times during an average
career. Due to constant deployments and
defense needs, military families often
move from coast to coast or overseas, and
it can be difficult for service members to
get comfortable in a new home knowing
they will probably move again soon.
Reider said volunteering helps quell any
sense the local community might have that
the Sailors are unapproachable, and it sets
a good example for others to follow.
The girls here arent used to seeing
people do things for the sake of just being
nice, said Mujica. Its nice for them to
see that people dont have to do things
because they are told or paid to, but rath-
er because there is a sense of humanity
in it.
NMCB 3 takes part in about 100 vol-
unteer events each year.

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 begin a 1.5-mile run during Decembers
Physical Fitness Assessment at Naval Base Ventura County. The Navys PFA ensures that Sailors
maintain optimal health through balanced physical and mental stamina.

and MC1 (SW/AW) Chris Fahey
NMCB 3
Out of the 617 Seabees from Naval Mo-
bile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3
who participated in the December Physi-
cal Fitness Assessment (PFA), 486 finished
in the top three categories outstanding,
excellent and good marking the best
overall effort in the battalions recent his-
tory.
Command fitness leaders credit this
milestone to scheduling mandatory phys-
ical training in a way that helps create a
shift in fitness perception.
We are trying to align ourselves with
the 21st Century Sailor concept in which
we conduct fitness training that creates a
culture of fitness, not just a culture of test-
ing, said Engineering Aid 1st Class (SCW)
Joab Cowell, assistant command fitness
leader. Sailors are now more proud about
their physical fitness.
The fitness shift opens Sailors to differ-
ent styles of training that allow heightened
overall health instead of focusing on just
the different categories of the PFA
pushups, sit-ups and an accepted form of
cardio under the Navys PFA instruction
(1.5-mile run, 500-meter swim or timed
bicycle or elliptical event).
In the past, commands have scheduled
PT around these specific areas instead of
incorporating more creative styles of train-
ing such as high-intensity anaerobics,
structured athletics using weights or oth-
er modern forms of safe physical activi-
ties.
Had I been encouraged to focus only
on the tested areas of the PFA, Im sure
I would have both found the PFA boring
and scored far worse, said Navy Career
Counselor 1st Class (SCW) Norm Patton,
who maxed out all categories of the PFA
and was one of the battalions highest fin-
ishers. With the command allowing me
to do the high-intensity anaerobic training
I do now, I love working out, feel great
and smoked the test. It really felt great.
The Navys PFA is designed to ensure
Sailors maintain optimal health through
balanced physical and mental stamina. Its
scored by averaging the results of all three
fitness events.
Command fitness leaders facilitate the
events with strict adherence to the Navys
PFA instruction, ensuring proper form
and safety.
Battalion sets a record in
Physical Fitness Assessment
Decembers performance is best in recent history
We conduct fitness
training that creates
a culture of fitness,
not just a culture of
testing. Sailors are now
more proud about their
physical fitness.

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Now that youve survived the winter
holiday and all that comes with it, its time
to kick off 2013 with a true financial
plan.
Theres no need to make your annual
resolution of getting your finances in or-
der. Instead, lets view this as an undertak-
ing of commitment that all financial deci-
sions will be well thought-out and
non-impulsive in nature. If we are sincere
in our aspirations to solidify our finances,
we can not only survive this economy, but
more importantly, we can thrive.
But first things first.
Lets revisit the last few weeks of your
spending habits. During the holiday shop-
ping season, like many consumers, did you
get caught up in the moment and maybe
spend a little more than anticipated? If
you did and you used your plastic, lets
address a couple of issues.
Please understand, if you are carrying
a balance on your credit cards, the finance
charges can eventually be much more of
a cost than the original price. So if at all
possible, dont start a habit of making
minimum payments; youll still be paying
them over the next holiday shopping sea-
son.
You can actually call creditors and re-
negotiate your interest rates. They can say
no, but they can also say yes if you make
your case strong enough. Try Ive made
all my payments on time, or My spouse
is serving in the military and Im wonder-
ing if you have any programs that assist
during deployments? You can even ask
for a hardship department, and once
connected, state your case. Bottom line:
You wont get a reduction if you dont
ask.
Second issue: Tis the season for
identity theft. The holiday shopping sea-
son is the worst time of year for identity
theft. Thieves know the plastic comes out
in full force from Black Friday until mid-
January when all the sales run their
course.
It is highly recommended that you pull
your free credit report mid- to late-January
to ensure that your information is accu-
rate. You can go to www.AnnualCreditRe-
port.com and get free copies of all three
credit reports. It should also be noted that
children are 35 times more likely to get
their identities stolen than adults. Thieves
realize that most minors dont use their
Social Security numbers for many years,
so they basically get a head start before
anyone realizes its an issue. You can get
a free child scan report from www.All-
ClearID.com. This company has an A-
plus rating from the Better Business Bu-
reau.
In terms of going forward with your
financial spending, if you dont have a
current understanding of your overall fi-
nances, you are losing the battle. If you
take the time to research, develop and
implement a spending plan that truly fits
your needs, youre on track for success.
Youll also discover that spending wisely
during the holiday season or any season
isnt as hard as we make it on our-
selves.
A quick and simple debt to income
ratio analysis is a great start. It sounds
more complicated than it really is. Basi-
cally, its figuring how much is coming in
and how much is going out. Thats it. This
can be confidentially done at the Fleet and
Family Support Center (FFSC) with one
of our skilled Personal Financial Manage-
ment (PFM) counselors. If your schedule
is hectic and you cant make it to one of
our FFSC sites at Point Mugu, Port Hue-
neme or Camarillo, we will e-mail you
user-friendly software.
Afterwards, we can start on your next
financial goal: a saving and investing
plan.
If you find yourself at a financial dead
stop, think baby steps. It really does
work.
If you have any questions about your
finances or any other concerns, contact
the FFSC at (805) 982-5037 and we will
do our best to accommodate your needs.

More than a dozen women who thought
regular automobile maintenance meant
filling your car with gas when it hits the
E attended this months first Miss Fix-
It workshop, put on by the Fleet and
Family Support Center (FFSC).
Brittany Barton, a work and family life
coordinator for FFSC, organized the Jan.
16 class and dressed as Rosie the Riveter
for the occasion.
The goal of this class is to empower
women with skills they need to take care
of their car so theyre not stuck at the
side of the road when their husband is
deployed, she said. They need to know
to check their vehicle, and they need to
know when something is wrong. Even if
they dont know how to fix it, they need
to know somethings not right with the
engine.
Another benefit, she said, is saving
money.
Barton ran through some basic car
maintenance thats easy to do once its
learned. Changing the oil can cost $40 at
an auto shop, $20 to do it yourself. Re-
placing an air filter can cost $60, or $11
if you do it yourself. Lightbulbs, belts,
fluids all can be replaced easily and
cheaply if you know what youre doing,
she said.
There to teach them was Ken Wernau,
manager of the Auto Skills Center at
Naval Base Ventura County. He used his
truck, parked in front of the FFSC, to
show the women the different parts under
the hood, and he demonstrated how to
check the oil, change the windshield wip-
ers, headlight bulbs, taillight bulbs, air
filter and tires and how to top off flu-
ids.
He also ran through some basic rules
of car maintenance: Check your oil with
every other fill-up and change it every
3,000 miles, inspect belts and hoses every
month, check the coolant level weekly
and all other fluids monthly, check the
tire pressure regularly and change the air
filter every year or when you cant see
through it anymore.
Reading the vehicle manual, he stressed,
is critical.
The class was extremely well-received,
with comments afterward ranging from
Excellent workshop very patient with
questions, and explanations were very
detailed to It was incredibly practical
and very fun!

be held March 6 at the Auto Skills

women and any men who want
to attend can learn how to
change their oil.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command
The First Naval Construction Division
(1NCD) announces the activation of the
Basic Combat Skills (BCS) Level I online
training course on Navy e-Learning via
Navy Knowledge Online (NKO).
Until now, the class has been available
only in an instructor-led classroom envi-
ronment.
The official release of the BCS elec-
tronic training provides our Seabees an-
other tool to attain critical mission skills
and knowledge at the time that is conve-
nient for them, said Capt. Stephanie
Jones of 1NCD.
The self-paced course includes six les-
sons that enable Seabees and Civil Engi-
neer Corps (CEC) officers to learn combat
skills or refresh their memories on previ-
ously learned topics.
The lessons encompass: The Naval Con-
struction Force (NCF) and Laws of
Armed Conflict; Medical Procedures and
Personal Hygiene; General Military Tac-
tics; Field Communications; Force Protec-
tion; and Combat Equipment and Weap-
ons.
This is a great course, said Construc-
tion Electrician 2nd Class Tex Mitchell, a
military skills instructor with the 31st Sea-
bee Readiness Group. The interactive
learning environment prepares personnel
new to the NCF for more advanced cours-
es like BCS Level II and Fire Team Lead-
er. This will increase the combat readiness
for the entire NCF.
The course enhances individual and
team decision-making and combat effec-
tiveness by supplying up-to-date informa-
tion to Seabees using the latest technol-
ogy.
The intent of this course is to allow
the user to be able to train and become
familiar with the NCF and its capabilities
in a self-paced interactive learning envi-
ronment, anywhere, anytime, said the
project manager, Chief Builder Jason Ver-
neris of the Naval Facilities Training Sup-
port Agency.
The BCS course includes hyperlinks to
up-to-date references, a glossary and a list
of acronyms and definitions, and it dis-
plays graphic images of commonly used
forms and documents.
The course is available for enrollment
by visiting Navy Knowledge Online
(NKO)> LEARNING tab> Navy e-
Learning>Online Courses> Browse Cat-
egories> Department of the Navy (DON)
Training> Naval Construction Force
Training> Basic Combat Skills> Basic
Combat Skills - Level I.
This online training tool is designed to
support personnel reporting to NCF com-
mands and students attending the CEC
Officer School Basic Course, and A
School courses.
Each lesson takes an average of two to
five hours to complete; upon successful
completion of the six lesson assessments,
the program generates a completion cer-
tificate and updates the members Sailor/
Marine American Council on Education
Registry Transcript (SMART) and Fleet
Training Management and Planning Sys-
tem (FLTMPS). SMART can take up to
two weeks to appear while FLTMPS is
generally updated nightly.

lic Works and Morale, Welfare and Rec-
reation for pulling together this whole
thing.
Now everything is integrated, she said
of the complex.
Work began over the summer to redo
the storefronts, lighting, covered walkways
and drainage systems. New energy-effi-
cient windows were installed, as was a
handicapped-accessible ramp. The retail
shops also got a new heating and air con-
ditioning system, and fire sprinklers were
updated.
This was definitely a challenge for ev-
eryone involved, said Lt. j.g. Alex Rovin-
sky of NBVCs Public Works Department.
All the businesses needed to maintain
operations during the project. It was a
challenge, but we overcame it.
The Mugu Ticket Office helps more
than 6,500 people obtain discount tickets
each year to such destinations as Disney-
land, Magic Mountain, Universal Studios,
Sea World, Legoland and the San Diego
Zoo.
Discounts are also available for Sees
Candy gift certificates and rental cars.
The ticket office is open from 10 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
The ticket office at NBVC Port Huen-
eme has the same hours and is located
near the bowling alley next to the Welcome
Center. It helps more than 16,000 people
each year.

The show returned in 2004, with the
headliner being the Patriot Aerobatic
Team flying three Czech-built L-39 jet
aircraft. Other military acts included the
F-15C Eagle, A-10A Thunderbolt II, E-2C
Hawkeye 2000 and C-130E Hercules.
The 2005 Point Mugu Air Show fea-
tured the Blue Angels and the Navy Leap
Frogs parachute team. Military flight
demonstrations included the FA-18F Su-
per Hornet, E-2C Hawkeye, C-130J Her-
cules and F-16C Fighting Falcon.
The 2007 Point Mugu Air Show was
headlined by the Thunderbirds. Another
highlight was the first flight demonstration
by the Air Force F-22 Raptor, which
brought praise from the air show audience.
Other flying acts included the F-117A
Nighthawk, F-15E Strike Eagle and the
A-10A Thunderbolt II.
The 2010 Naval Base Ventura County
Air Show at Point Mugu featured the
Thunderbirds. Another crowd-pleaser was
Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit
3 Det. Point Mugu, which provided a Wall
of Fire demonstration using TNT, detona-
tion cord and 500 gallons of diesel and
gas to simulate a Napalm air strike.

NBVC police officer escort to come
aboard. You will then have to go to the
Force Protection building, PH 1443, to
report your lost or stolen CAC, and pro-
vide proof of being counseled by your
chain of command prior to being issued
a new card.
traffic collisions
During the last 30 days, nine motor ve-
hicle collisions were reported on NBVC.
Key factors were improper backing, fol-
lowing too closely and making improper
U-turns. All of the collisions were a result
of the operator not paying attention, and
all were preventable. Stay vigilant: Be
aware of your surroundings and watchful
of other drivers to ensure that you make
it safely to your destinations.
Property crimes
Property crimes accounted for only 5
percent 17 of 350 of the Police De-
partments calls for the past month. This
success is attributed to some common
sense crime prevention efforts of NBVCs
uniformed personnel, residents and em-
ployees. These techniques include:
Locking all doors and windows.
Ensuring that all items are stored prop-
erly in workspaces, garages, houses and
vehicles for example, storing bicycles
in garages or locking them to fixed objects,
and making sure valuables are out of sight,
particularly when stored in vehicles.
Reporting suspicious activity immedi-
ately to the police. The sooner your police
department is engaged regarding any sus-
picious activity, the greater the likelihood
of determining the true nature of the
situation and, if appropriate, apprehend-
ing the offender.

The last air show on base, the 2010 Naval Base Ventura County Air Show at Point Mugu,
featured the Wall of Fire demonstration by Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 3,
which then had a detachment at Point Mugu. It simulated a Napalm air strike.
The pool in the Seabreeze Aquatics Cen-
ter at Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme, is expected to reopen sometime
in February. A pump failure occurred
Sunday, Jan. 13, and the pump room
flooded, damaging some electrical equip-
ment, said Morale, Welfare and Recreation
Marketing Director Dan Alpern.
The locker rooms and showers are still
operational for those working out in the
Bee-Fit Wellness Center across the street.
Their hours have not changed.

The Bee-Fit Wellness Centers Biggest
Loser program is back.
The new contest begins Feb. 4 and lasts
10 weeks. Sign-ups are now being taken
at the center, located next to the Warfield
Gym at Naval Base Ventura County, Port
Hueneme.
This is the third go-around for the pro-
gram, which includes small-group per-
sonal training for the first time.
We decided to try something other
than nutrition classes and individualized
workouts, said Ramona Pagel, manager
of the Bee-Fit and organizer of the Biggest
Loser contest.
It costs $50 to register for the program.
The first weigh-in is at the Bee-Fit from 7
to 8:30 a.m. Monday, Feb. 4. A before
photo will be taken.
After that, weigh-ins are every Monday
morning. Everyone pays $1 at every weigh-
in. If the weight stays the same, theres a
$1 penalty. Theres also a $1 penalty for
each pound gained. If a contestant miss-
es a weigh-in, theres a $3 penalty, and
theres a $5 penalty for missing a person-
al training session unless 24-hour notice
is received.
The final weigh-in is April 15. Whoever
has lost the highest percentage of body
weight over the 10-week period will take
home 50 percent of all the money col-
lected. The second-place winner takes
home 35 percent; the third-place winner
takes 15 percent.
The first program started in January of
last year and lasted 16 weeks. Twenty-nine
people signed up for the challenge, and 11
of them took part in the final weigh-in
May 14. Between Jan. 23 and May 14, a
total of 398 pounds vanished.
For the second program in the fall, or-
ganizer Ramona Pagel used a team ap-
proach and cut the program to eight weeks.
That program started Sept. 24 and ended
the week before Thanksgiving.
For more information, call Pagel at 982-
2589.

port directly from CECOS to
their first duty assignments.
Thus it is quite important to
apply what they learned here to
their new jobs, he said. Hav-
ing the chief of civil engineers
speak to them strongly under-
scores the message to junior of-
ficers that its time to go to
work!
The new graduates were as-
signed to Naval Facilities (NAV-
FAC) positions in the U.S. and
abroad, to Naval Mobile Con-
struction Battalions (NMCBs)
in Port Hueneme and Gulfport,
Miss., and to Amphibious Con-
struction Battalions in Little
Creek, Va., and Coronado.
Graduate Ensign James
Meaders, who reported to NAV-
FAC Mid-Atlantic before com-
ing to CECOS, said he learned
a lot during the program.
I did not know much about
the CEC community, he said.
All I knew was that we built
stuff. CECOS was an eye-open-
ing experience that helped an-
swer a lot of questions that I
had about CEC and gave me the
necessary tools to be successful
in my role as a construction
manager for NAVFAC. CECOS
allowed me and my fellow class-
mates the opportunity to under-
stand our role as CEC officers
and build friendships with our
peers in the community.
Riley said that what made
these students unique was that
they stepped up to more diffi-
cult tasks.
We made the CECOS field
training exercise harder than
ever, with more missions and
events than previous iterations,
he explained. The class per-
formed admirably despite the
challenges they faced. The stu-
dents werent perfect, but we
didnt expect them to be. What
the class did do, and do well,
was to work hard as a team,
learn from their mistakes, and
persevere until they success-
fully completed every mis-
sion.
Lt. Austin Rasbach, who re-
ported to NMCB 4 upon grad-
uation, said, As a lateral trans-
fer from the unrestricted line
community, I had many ques-
tions walking into the first day
of CECOS Basic. The surround-
ing CEC community and CE-
COS staff quickly made both
myself and my classmates real-
ize our importance within the
Navy team.
The next CECOS Basic Class,
254, began Jan. 22 with 35 ac-
tive duty officers scheduled to
attend.
