Question: Skipper, would it be possible to remindeveryone on base that bicyclists are required to obeythe same laws as motorists? I was walking from theparking lot to the air terminal, in the crosswalk witha walk signal, and was cut off by a cyclist who ranthe light.
Answer: Thank you for giving us all a reminder.We take time to teach our children to ride their bikessafely, but we sometimes forget to take that advice forourselves.Cyclists: You are required to follow the same traf-
fic laws as motor vehicles. This includes riding withthe flow of traffic, rather than against, stopping atstop signs and traffic lights and yielding right of wayto pedestrians. Speed limits also apply, although it’sharder to speed on a bike! Those found in violation ofthese basic traffic rules can be cited.
Cyclists are also required to wear helmets at alltimes while aboard Naval Base Ventura County.Helmets really do save lives, and proper safety equip-ment is as crucial.Traffic safety should be taken seriously by every-
one. Whether you’re riding, driving or biking downthe road, observing safety standards will help get youthere in one piece — and your passengers, too. Let’skeep our base a safe place for everyone.
Do you have a question or suggestion? Shareit here by emailing [email protected] or onlineusing my CO’s Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm or on Facebook at www.face-book.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty. Your feedback iscritical to helping us make NBVC the best base in theNavy.

More than 40 runners turned it on inthe name of energy conservation — andtheNavy’s birthday— asMorale,Welfareand Receation hosted the 5K EnergyAwareness and Navy Birthday 5K RunThursday, Oct. 11, at the Beehive Gym,Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) PortHueneme.An October 5K in the name of energy
awareness has become a base tradition,but with this year’s event scheduled soclose to the Navy’s 237th birthday Oct.13, it was decided to rename the run.There were no birthday prizes, but as
he does every year, NBVC Energy Man-ager Tom Santoianni gave out gift bags tothe first three men and women crossingthe finish line.The prize-winning men were Builder
2ndClass Chris Guzman of NavalMobileConstruction Battalion 3, who finishedfirst with a time of 18:59; ElectronicsTechnician 1st Class Eric Youngstromwith Air Operations at NBVC PointMugu, who finished second in 20:45; andElectronics Technician 2nd Class PeterGeier, also of PointMuguAir Operations,with a time of 21:07.The prize-winning women were Belia
Cook of Naval Surface Warfare CenterPort HuenemeDivision, who finished firstin 21:25;Norma Santiago, whose husbandis Lt. Cmdr. Jesse Santiago, the executive
officer of Naval Construction TrainingCenter and who finished in 22:37; andKelly Coughlan, whose husband is Lt.Seth McGuire, the executive officer ofUnderwater Construction Team 2 andwho finished in 25:59.Race organizer AmandaHaskell point-
ed out that the weather for this year’s runwas much more pleasant than last yearwhen a heat wave hit and an “energyevent” was called shortly after the raceended. Everyone went back to their of-fices and turned off all non-essential elec-trical devices until 8 p.m. to ease the loadon the state’s electrical grid and avoid roll-
ing blackouts.“That may have fit with the theme,” she
said, “but this year is a lot nicer.”Santoianni brought a table laden with
free mug holders, rulers, pens, sticky notesand notebooks, all carrying energy-con-servation tips.“I’m hoping people will pick up some
of this stuff, read something new andthink, ‘Oh yeah, this is a good way to saveenergy. I’ve never thought of that before,’”he said.The next 5K lunchtime run is the Turkey
Trot, set for Nov. 15 at NBVC Port Hue-neme.

Fourteen military personnel — 11 ofthem Sailors stationed at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC)— becameU.S. citi-zens Thursday, Oct. 11, in a special natu-ralization ceremony at NBVC PortHueneme’s Needham Theater.“This feels pretty great,” a smiling Lo-
gistics Specialist 1st Class Fluellen Umaliof the Fleet Readiness Center Southwest,Detachment Point Mugu, said momentsafter the ceremony.“He’s one of us now,” added his wife,
Joanna, who attended the hourlong cere-mony with their two children, ages 8 and12.Until Thursday,Umali hadbeen a citizen
of the Philippines. That day, he renouncedthat citizenship and took the Oath of Al-legiance to theUnited States, administeredby the Hon. Otis D. Wright II of the U.S.District Court, Central District of Califor-nia.More than 7,000 people affiliated with
theU.S.military have becomeU.S. citizensthis year.Last year, a total of 700,000people across
the United States were naturalized, and10,334 of them were affiliated with themilitary.Julie Dunn, an immigration service of-
ficer based out of the SanFernandoValley,said the naturalization process can be ex-pedited for members of the U.S. military.In fact, she said, during times of war, theprocess can require as little as one day ofU.S. residency. Normally, it requires fiveyears.For some, the oathwas a long time com-
ing.Steelworker 3rd Class Sheldon Smith of
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 3 started the naturalization pro-cess three years ago, the same timehe joinedthe Navy. His appointments with U.S.Citizenship and Immigration Services wereall set up, but he deployed to Afghanistanjust days before his first meeting.“I tried to reopen the case when I got
back, but because I’d missed the appoint-ment, it was a problem— a big problem,”he said.It didn’t stop him from deploying to
Spain, and it was there that he was able toreopen the case and start the process allover again.A citizen of Jamaica, Smith grew up in
New Jersey.“My dad pushed me to take advantage
of everything this country offered,”he said.“Educationwise, everything— just runwithit, he’d say.”Living in Jersey and Jamaica, Smith’s
family couldn’t attend, but Smith now hasthe ceremony on video.“I’m glad this is finally over,” he said.
“It’s one of the biggest milestones in mylife.”Another new U.S. citizen who waited a
long time to call himself that was JaimeMalagon, a 50-year-old sergeant in theCalifornia Army National Guard.As a citizen of Spain, Malagon joined
the Navy in 1984, eventually becoming a
Navy SEAL with security clearance. Hisnaturalization paperwork had been ap-proved, and all thatwas left was the formal-ity of taking the Oath of Allegiance. Butjust before a judge was to administer it, hedeployed to Central America.“At that point, everyone, including me,
thought I was a U.S. citizen,” he said.He left the Navy in 1997 and joined the
Army two years later. He was assigned toan anti-drug task force along theU.S. bor-der with Mexico, a joint project with theDrug Enforcement Administration andBorder Patrol, which conducted a back-ground check. That’s when Malagonlearned he was still a citizen of Spain.“They still let me work,”Malagon said.
“They just toldme tomake sure I took careof it.”But then came Iraq, and then came
Kosovo, and then, in 2008, came an injury,followed by surgery a year later.Today, Malagon is ready to leave the
Armed Forces, and he’ll do it as a U.S.citizen.“I’m looking forward to spending time
with my family,” he said of his wife, Espe-ranza, and his 13-year-old son, Jaime Jr.,both of whom attended the ceremony.The 14 new citizens heard a taped mes-
sage from President Barack Obama, whotold them that “no dream is impossible,”and urged them to “help write the nextgreat chapter in American history.”Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding of-
ficer of NBVC, also spoke to the new citi-zens, pointing out that as members of themilitary, theyhadalreadypledged todefend
the United States and her people.“Today,” he said, “you are her peo-
ple.”He said he felt privileged to be one of
the first to address them as citizens of theUnited States.“It is an honor to call you shipmates,”
he said. “It is an even greater honor to callyou fellow citizens.”In addition toUmali, Smith andMalag-
on, the following military personnel be-came U.S. citizens Thursday:• EOCN Jesus Cabralbujanda, NMCB
3, formerly a citizen of Mexico.• HM3Norielle Dimasudlay, NMCB 4,
formerly a citizen of the Philippines.• CECNAldrin Sy, NMCB 4, formerly
a citizen of the Philippines.• EA2 Irae Faitala, NMCB 5, formerly
a foreign national of American Samoa.• AN George DeLeon Jr., Carrier Air-
borne Command and Control Squadron(VAW) 113, formerly a citizen of the Phil-ippines.• ADANWen Sun, VAW-116, formerly
a citizen of China.• EOCN Cyril Conanan, 31st Seabee
Readiness Group, formerly a citizen ofthe Philippines.• AOAA April Mendoza, Navy Opera-
tional Support Center Port Hueneme,formerly a citizen of the Philippines.• CS2 Rafael Pascual, NBVC, formerly
a citizen of the Philippines.• CM2Marco Antonio Reyes, formerly
a citizen of Mexico.• BU2 Hirohito Fainza, formerly a citi-
zen of the Philippines.

We can learn a lot about partnershipfrom geese.Team building is an integral part of any
organization. This is especially true with-in the U.S. Navy. Thus, in this article, I’dlike to talk about the principle of partner-ship.Partnership isn’t always easy to achieve.
Why is partnership so difficult?JohnMaxwell, an expert on leadership,
wrote these salient words regarding part-nership:“You can hoard what little you have and
receive nomore. Or you can give what youhave, and you will be rewarded with abun-dance. Your attitude makes the difference.So if you partner with another person andgive generously, oneway or another, you’regoing to get back more than you gave.”A good leader will do things exceed-
ingly well. A great leader will build a teamand do things exceptionally well.I just returned from training in Colum-
bia, S.C. I saw geese daily. Geese can actu-ally teach us all a lot about leadership.Winging their way to awarmer location,
these birds often cover thousands of milesbefore reaching their destination. Haveyou ever thought about why they fly asthey do? It is really fascinating what hasbeen discovered about geese’s flight pat-tern as well as their in-flight instincts.The geese in front rotate their leader-
ship. When the lead goose gets tired, itchanges places with another goose withinthe V-formation.By flying as they do, the members of
the flock create an upward air current for
one another. Each flap of the wings liter-ally generates lift for the bird immedi-ately following. One author states that“by flying in a V-formation, the wholeflock gets 71 percent greater flying rangethan if each goose flew on its own.”The geese in the rear of the formation
are the ones who do the honking. Per-haps, this frequent honking encouragesthe geese in the front to keep flying.That’s a good example of partnership.Interestingly, two healthy geese will
leave the formation in order to escort awounded or sick goose to a safe loca-tion.Whether it’s rotating leadership from
the front, flapping, helping or simplyhonking, the flock is in it together, whichenables them to accomplish what they setout to do — move to a warmer climate.Thus, the practical application of the
partnership principle is relatively straight-forward: If we work as a team, we willbe far more effective. This is the principleof partnership.We learn a lot from geese.
Geese can teach humans about partnership, teamwork

Vice Adm. David Dunaway, command-er of the Naval Air Systems Command,visitedNavalAirWarfare CenterWeaponsDivision PointMugu andChinaLakeOct.1-3 and held town hall meetings at bothsites.Dunaway, who reported to his current
job about a month ago, said that whileNAVAIR is running well, there are chal-lenges to face.“NAVAIR is a critical aspect of our
national security that’s got to evolve fast-er than the threat,” Dunaway said. “Wecan’t be content to sit where we are. Weare going to work forward-leaning in apositive fashion.”He told the NAWCWDworkforce that
it has to get better every day, continue tobe a learning organization, be more effi-cient, increase productivity and be out-come-oriented.Dunaway authorized the workforce to
“smash the bureaucratic efforts that areunproductive” and encouraged them tochallenge the rules.“Don’t let the rules stop you from get-
ting the effective outcomes to happen,”hesaid.He also recognized that funding is not
a new challenge, but said he doesn’t expectthe workforce to change much.“Don’t worry about themoney,”he said.
“Worry about getting the most value outof every dollar. What’s going to have tohappen is that you are going to have toget much better at your jobs.”Dunaway shared his top three focus ar-
eas that he recently released in his Com-mander’s Intent message: speed to fleet,integration and interoperability, and af-fordability.One of the town hall attendees asked
about future funding andDunaway’s planfor sequestration.“We are told not to plan for sequestra-
tion,” said Dunaway, who mentioned thecontinuing resolution that is currently inplace. “I do know that my funding ispretty stable for the next six months.”To those worried about job cuts, Dun-
away acknowledged the current uncertaintimes and said, “If the work you are doingis relevant, I’ll defend you. Be relevant andmake yourself more relevant every day.”

Recruiting volunteers — and makingsure they want to stay and that they’redoing a good job — is one of the mainpriorities of the new director of theNavy-Marine Corps Relief Society(NMCRS) at Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty.Oscar Ramos, who took over in Sep-
tember from nine-year veteran NadineGamble, said volunteer turnover is a realchallenge in a busy office that has onlytwo employees.“We just lost two more volunteers who
were highly trained,” he said. “We havea constant turnover, which means weneed constant recruitment.”The NMCRS provides financial as-
sistance to active duty and retired mem-bers of the Navy and Marine Corps andtheir eligible family members.So far this year, the Ventura County
office has handled more than 500 casesand given out more than $250,000 inemergency financial assistance, includ-ing interest-free loans to help with basicliving expenses and transportation.
The NMCRS also runs a thrift shopat Port Hueneme and leads Budget forBaby workshops.Each of those duties requires a pre-
volunteer interview and orientation, ad-ditional training and a dedication to ajob that pays in the benefit of knowingsomeone was helped that day.
Ramos enters a job filled with sur-prises: Who’ll walk through the doorstomorrow, and what personal turmoilwill they be facing? He admits it’s a dif-ferent life than the one he lived for 20years with Personnel Support Detach-ment.“That was a very secure environment,”
he said. “You knew what you’d be doingwhen you woke up every morning.”But the experience he learned there
will help him guide families in need.“I know how to use resources to help
Sailors,” he said.He’s also eager to work with retirees.“There are many widows and widow-
ers out there who are part of our pro-spective clientele,” he said. “We need toreach out to veteran associations, com-munities and even senior centers to findpeople who could be using our servic-es.”Ramos currently lives in Port Huen-
eme with his son and is eagerly awaitingthe arrival of his wife and other children.“My children are proud of our militaryculture,” he said. “They’re happy Dad’sbeen in the Navy.”
Recruiting, retaining volunteers a challenge for NMCRS
Oscar Ramos is the new director of theNavy-Marine Corps Relief Society at NavalBase Ventura County.

When we think of Halloween, wethink of haunted houses, costumes,candy, decorations, hay rides, pump-kins, witches, ghosts, black cats, gravesand anything scary.Trick-or-treating became popular in
the United States nearly a century ago.Today, kids — and even some adults— compete for the most candy and thebest costume. There are Halloweenevents all over town, and every storeseems to be selling Halloween decora-tions that you must have.
Halloween can be an expensive holi-day for everyone. So how do we keepour finances out of the graveyard? Hereare some tips from the Navy-MarineCorps Relief Society (NMCRS).• Keep in mind that most people wear
a Halloween costume only once becauseby the next year it is either outgrownor outdated. So buy costumes anddecorations from thrift stores, yardsales or other military families who aredone with them. Ask your neighbor,friends or even your boss.• A great way to save money this Hal-
loween is to check out the Navy-MarineCorps Relief Society’s Thrift Store,located in Building 829 at Harris and15th streets, Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty, Port Hueneme. Thrift store hoursare Monday and Wednesday from 10a.m. to 1 p.m. Buy only decorationsyou are going to use this year — afterall, there are only so many places toput spiderwebs, scarecrows, gravestonesand the like. When you are done withyour costumes, consider donating themto the thrift store for next year’scrowd.
• Be aware of candy prices, and shopdifferent stores for the best deals. TheNMCRS has a coupon box in the of-fice, located in Building 1169 in theWelcome Center at NBVC Port Huen-eme. Office hours are Monday throughFriday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., so comecheck the coupon box for candy cou-pons and other timely items.• Operation Gratitude provides a
candy buyback program through localdentist offices. Information on Opera-tion Gratitude’s program is availableat http://www.halloweencandybuyback.com/index.html. This is a great way toget some money back for your candyas well as support deployed troops.Here are the top five tips for avoiding
scary finances this Halloween:• Set a Halloween budget.• Select just a few Halloween events
to attend.• Be aware of tricky candy prices. Use
coupons and shop at a few differentstores to make sure you are getting thebest price.• Donate candy to local buyback pro-
grams and support our troops!• Be creative with your costumes by
buying items from the NMCRS ThriftStore or trading costumes with peopleyou know.Follow these tips and avoid any Hal-
loween financial scares. Keep the costof decorations, costumes and candylow, and keep your budget out of thegraveyard. Most importantly, have funand stay safe out there.
Don’t let Halloween send your budget to the graveyardHere are some tips tocut down on the scarycosts of candy, costumesand decorations — andremember to check outthe NMCRS Thrift Storefor bargains

Test Ship to wind and solar proj-ects across the facility, themorningbriefs gave a broad view of themany technologies being devel-oped, tested and used at NBVC.Natsuharapraised the advances,
thenaskeda critical question:Howdo we integrate all these differenttechnologies and find the right bal-ance?“The Navy has some unique
bases that are really very differentthanother services,”he said, point-ing to remote, isolated locationslike Diego Garcia in the IndianOcean,GuantanamoBay andSanNicolas Island. “These are notwartimebases.Wehave tobemoreefficient.”Several facilities around the
globe have the capacity to generatelarge amounts of renewable en-ergy, Natsuhara said, but theydon’t necessarily use it efficiently.Without options for storing gener-ated energy, much of it goes to
waste.“Storage is a game-changer,”
said Chris Parry, NAVFAC SWenergy manager.“Whoever can develop afford-
able, effective storage for renewableenergy, that’s the next Bill Gates,”
agreed Capt. Cliff Maurer, com-manding officer of NAVFACSW.NBVC and NAVFAC EXWC
are preparing to test one storageoption at San Nicolas Island(SNI). A $15.3million project will
install seven 100-kwwind turbineson the island over the next year.NAVFAC EXWC will fund theinstallation of a zinc-bromide bat-tery with up to one megawatt ofstorage capacity, monitoring itssuccess andapplicability across thefleet.Larger wind turbines have been
used at other facilities, but accord-ing to Parry, there’s an economyof scale that comes from usingmore of the smaller, less complexmachines.“Maintenance is just simpler,”
he said.Capt. Larry Vasquez, NBVC
commanding officer, tookNatsu-hara out to SNI to get a first-handlookat the islandanddiscuss someof its challenges and successes. Inaddition to visiting the future siteof the wind turbine project, Nat-suhara took the opportunity to seethe island’s reverse osmosis (RO)facility, which provides potablewater for SNI’s residents.
“This RO plant is a powerfulweapon forpeace,”saidHalMead-ows of NBVC’s PublicWorksDe-partment. “Youcan reproduce thissystem anywhere andmake waterfor the people. It was used as amodel for the system in Djibou-ti.”Natsuhara asked about water
quality.“It’s more pure than snow,”
Meadows replied. “Our water isof a higher quality thanmostmu-nicipal sources, so our Sailors canbe confident theirwater is safe andhealthful.”Finding innovative, cost-effec-
tive solutions to power and watersupply issues is key to operatinganenergy-efficient fleet,Natsuharasaid.“The Department of the Navy
is looked at as theDepartment ofDefense leader for energy pro-grams,” he added. “We have a lotof credibility because of the workyou do here.”

Fourteen Sailors from the GroundElectronics Maintenance Division atNaval Base Ventura County, PointMugu, volunteered 1,200 man-hoursconstructing new cages for birds atthe Ojai Raptor Center.Volunteering in the community
isn’t new to this crew, which has alsogiven time to help middle school chil-dren and the homeless. They spendmost of their days maintaining airtravel control communications equip-ment.Chief Electronics Technician Ran-
dy Eddington was persuaded to con-sider this effort by his wife, Taly, whohas been volunteering at the centerin Ojai for more than a year.Electronics Technician 1st Class
Christopher Shahan saw this as aunique opportunity and coordinatedthe effort. Half a dozen Sailors at atime worked on building the 10 cag-es, each measuring 10-by-12-by-16
feet.Over the four or five months that
they worked in Ojai, they got to learna lot about the resident raptors, es-pecially Handsome, the turkey vul-ture that they nicknamed “Come AtMe Bro” when he spread his wingsfull width.The Sailors are hoping that the
center names the cages the MK-1Aviary Enclosure.The Navy is no stranger to the rap-
tor center. Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty alerts the center when an injuredbird is found on base. It’s part of theNavy’s BASH program: Animal/BirdAircraft Strike Hazard.The raptor center typically takes
in more than 500 raptors a year.The raptor center, which is nor-
mally closed to the public, will havea free open house Saturday, Nov. 10,from noon to 4 p.m. It is located at370 Baldwin Road in Ojai.

Oct. 13 was the Navy’s 237thbirthday. In honor of thatevent, theNavy celebrated withbell ringings, birthday balls andhistorical messages. Below is anarticle from the Naval Historyand Heritage Command re-garding the founding of theFleet. Interested in learningmore? Visit www.history.navy.mil.
The Continental Congressvoted Oct. 13, 1775, to fit outtwo sailing vessels and to sendthem out on a cruise of threemonths to intercept transportscarrying munitions and storesto the British army in Ameri-ca.This was the original legisla-
tion out of which the Conti-nental Navy grew and as suchconstitutes the birth certificateof the Navy.To understand the signifi-
cance of the decision to sendtwo armed vessels to sea underthe authority of the Continen-tal Congress, we need to reviewthe strategic situation and toconsider the political strugglethat lay behind it.Americans first took up arms
in the spring of 1775, not tosever their relationship with theking, but to defend their rightswithin the British Empire. Bythe autumn, the British NorthAmerican colonies fromMaineto Georgia were in open rebel-lion. Royal governments hadbeen thrust out of many colo-nial capitals and revolutionarygovernments put in their plac-es. The Continental Congresshad assumed some of the re-sponsibilities of a central gov-ernment for the colonies, cre-ated a Continental Army,issued papermoney for the sup-port of the troops, and formeda committee to negotiate withforeign countries. Continentalforces captured Fort Ticond-eroga on Lake Champlain andlaunched an invasion of Can-ada.In October 1775, the British
held superiority at sea, from
which they threatened to stopup the colonies’ trade and towreak destruction on seasidesettlements. In response, a fewof the states had commissionedsmall fleets of their own for
defense of local waters.For months, John Adams
and a few others had been agi-tating in Congress for the es-tablishment of an Americannaval fleet. They argued that a
fleet would defend the seacoasttowns, protect vital trade, re-taliate against British raiders,andmake it possible to seek outamong neutral nations of theworld the arms and stores thatwould make resistance possi-ble.Still, the establishment of a
navy seemed too bold a movefor some in Congress. Most ofthe delegates did not considerthe breakwith England as finaland feared that a navy impliedsovereignty and independence.Others thought a navy a hastyand foolish challenge to themightiest fleet the world hadseen.Then, Oct. 3, 1775, Rhode
Island’s delegates laid beforeCongress a resolution for thebuilding and equipping of anAmerican fleet. The proposalwas vague and funding unsure,drawing fire from all sides.Two days later, the tide
turned.Congress received intelli-
gence of two English brigs,unarmed and without convoy,laden with munitions, leavingEngland bound for Quebec. Aplan was developed to equiptwo armed vessels to interceptany ships bearing supplies tothe British army. Congress letthis plan lie on the table untilOct. 13, when a letter fromGen. George Washington re-ported that Washington hadtaken under his command, atContinental expense, threeschooners to cruise off Mas-sachusetts to intercept enemysupply ships. Since they alreadyhad armed vessels cruising intheir name, it was not such abig step to approve two morethat day.Within a few days, Congress
established aNaval Committeecharged with equipping a fleet.Over the course of the War ofIndependence, the ContinentalNavy sent to sea more than 50armed vessels of various types,beginning the long traditionstill carried forth by theUnitedStates Navy today.

Youngsters in the after-school programat the Naval Base Ventura County, PointMugu, Youth Center recently harvested 6dozen ears of corn from the plants theyhad been nurturing for several weeks.But some of themwere in for a surprise
when they pulled back the husks.The corn was red.Program lead Stacey Tamai had given
youngsters in the summer camp at PointMugu some Ruby Queen Hybrid SweetCorn to plant.When the summerwas over,the project was turned over to the after-school kids, some of whom didn’t knowthe corn would be red.“The color was beautiful and it really
was a sweet corn,” Tamai said. “We willdefinitely plant this variety again nextyear. It was easy to grow, and it was deli-cious!Tamai has been teaching agriculture to
PointMugu youngsters for seven years asa joint project with the 4-H Club. Usinggardening bins that were donated a fewyears ago, children have planted potatoes,onions, garlic, cabbage, broccoli and evenkale. After planting the seeds or seedlings,they carefully water them, harvest the veg-etables when they’re ready, then cook themup.“I love introducing children to new va-
rieties of foods,” Tamai said.

Did you know that nine out of 10healthy people who get a flu shot don’tget the flu?According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), it’s true.And because it takes two weeks for a flushot’s immunity to build completely, nowis the best time to get vaccinated for fluseason.TRICARE will cover flu shots or flu
mists at no cost to military families. Justmake sure to receive the vaccination fromyour local military clinic, a TRICAREnetwork provider, or aTRICAREnetworkpharmacy. If you go to a pharmacy, makesure the actual pharmacist gives you theflu shot or mist to avoid out-of-pocketcosts.If you choose to get your shot at the
doctor’s office, just be aware that somephysicians may charge a small co-pay forthe office visit. Additionally, it’s a goodidea to call your local military clinic firstto find out when flu shots are available.The CDC recommends everyone 6
months and older get vaccinated against
the flu. Making the “shot experience”smooth for your children can be a chal-lenge. Perhaps if they see mom or daddoing it too, they may go more willingly.Here are some tips:• Go for your flu shot when you take
your kids for theirs.• Ask if the clinic or pharmacy has flu
mist available as an alternative to the shot.Just check with your child’s healthcareprovider first to see if it’s a good fit.• Offer to get your shot first. It will help
to relax your kids.• If fun or colorful bandages are avail-
able, ask to wear one alongside your chil-dren.• Finish the flu shot appointment with
a treat, such as a trip to the park or ahealthy fruit smoothie.Keeping active, getting enough sleep and
eating healthy foods can also help youstand strong against the flu.Formore information on flu prevention
tips, visit www.triwest.com/flu.To locate a TRICARE-covered phar-
macy that offers flu vaccinations, visit theExpress Scripts website at www.express-scripts.com or call 1-877-363-1303.

Engineers at theNaval FacilitiesEngineering and ExpeditionaryWarfare Center (NAVFACEXWC) are trying out a new wa-ter irrigation systematNaval BaseVentura County (NBVC) PortHueneme.The system, which was tested
for the first time Sept. 27, is in-tended for use at Department ofDefense (DoD) installationsworldwide.The “Smart Water” conserva-
tion system project is demonstrat-ing and validating a new technol-ogy that makes more efficient useof potable water supplies and re-duces the demand for treated wa-ter used for landscape irrigation.It will help military commandscomply with Executive Order13423, which called for agenciesto reduce water consumptionstarting in Fiscal Year 2008.“The current water processes
used to irrigate the surrounding
landscape at manyDoD facilitiesare highly inefficient, and largequantities of potablewater are lostto evaporation, wind and overwa-tering,” said Capt. Brant D. Pick-rell, the commanding officer of
NAVFACEXWC. “A smartwaterconservation system could sig-nificantly reduce DoD potablewater costs and demand, poten-tially savingmillions of gallons ofwater per year.”
The DoD operates facilities inthe Southwest desert with watersupplies that fail to meet the cur-rent and projected demand. Spe-cific water issues include pumprates exceeding aquifer rechargeand water rights disputes. How-ever, irrigating landscapes is large-ly done through trial and error,resulting in overwatering and un-healthy turf and plants.The increasing costs of produc-
tion per unit volume, quality andhabitat degradation issues havesignificantly impacted militaryinstallations andoperations.Theseproblems are likely to intensifywith the changing global cli-mate.Currently, huge volumes of po-
table water are used to irrigatelarge turf areas, including athleticfields, parade grounds, housingareas and other landscaping es-sential for recreational andmoralepurposes.Potable water consumption for
irrigated landscape surrounding
DoD buildings can exceed the in-ternal water consumption of thebuilding by a factor of two to fivetimes. The U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency estimates thatmore than 50 percent of this land-scapewater is then lost to evapora-tion, wind and overwatering.Existing irrigation systems can
be retrofittedwith smartwater con-servation systems that combineproven technologies suchas captur-ing rooftop rainwater with newer,less developed concepts such asHVAC(heating, ventilationandairconditioning) condensate harvest-ing and weather tracking control-lers. Such combinations can pro-vide an optimized, highly efficientsystem for irrigation of landscapesurrounding DoD buildings.The project willmeasure overall
success by a reduction in potablewater consumptionused for irriga-tion, the reduction inpotablewatercosts and the payback period re-sulting fromsmartwater conserva-tion system capital costs.

Construction Mechanic 2nd Class James Miller of the Naval Construction Training Center was ready to dive into foreign ter-ritory.
His plate was covered with German bratwurst, Italian bruschetta, Jamaican curry and Chinese hot and sour soup.
Which was he looking forward to most?
Miller looked down at the plate, smiled, then looked back up.
“All of it,” he said.For the 19th year, Multicultural Day
was giving Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) a taste of international cuisine.
The event, held Tuesday, Oct. 2, outside the Seabee Chapel at NBVC Port Huen-eme, featured more than a dozen food booths, each catering to a different cuisine or special interest. For $6, visitors could buy a “passport” and get a sample from each booth — and more than 300 people did.
Booths were judged not only on the food, but also on decorations and the cul-tural information provided.
Coming in first this year was the Navy Lodge, which served Shrimp Lumpia, shrimp wrapped in a pastry and deep-fried.
Navy Lodge General Manager Carla Vicens said a crew of four had started wrapping the shrimp at 5 a.m., preparing 642 lumpia in seven hours. They deep-fried the delicacies on site.
“This is good food,” she said.
Taking second place was the Asian Pa-cific American Committee (APAC), which made Gyoza, Japanese dumplings. The APAC booth was filled with Japanese items, and Marlene Bradshaw, a mechan-ical engineer with Naval Facilities South-west Public Works, stood by in a kimo-no.
Third place went to the Naval Branch Health Clinic of Port Hueneme, which honored Hawaii with a pork sandwich on Hawaiian bread.
Chief Yeoman Lillian Patterson said the NBVC Chief Petty Officers Associa-tion, which organized this year’s event, wanted to make sure there was enough variety.
From Louisiana jambalaya — served in a booth adorned with an alligator head — to Mexican sautéed cactus to the Greek spinach and pastry delicacy known as Spanokopita, there seemed to be plenty of that.
There was even variety within individ-ual booths. The African-American Focus Group of Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division served two types of cornbread: a sweet cornbread made with corn, honey, butter and vanilla, and a firebread, made with heavy cream, but-ter, jalapeno peppers and cheese.
The NCTC booth featured German bratwurst with sauerkraut on the side.
Equipment Operator 2nd Class Ryan Newman said it didn’t take the NCTC long to decide what to serve.
“It’s easy,” he said, “and it tastes deli-cious.”

With Southern cuisine on the menu — specifically jambalaya and chicken and smoked sausage gumbo — the crew at the Chiefs Mess booth had to reassure several passport-holders that the alligator head was for decoration only.

A $6 “passport” entitled those who attended Multicultural Day a sample from each of the food booths — and there were more than a dozen. Here, BU1 Matt Gage crosses the German-themed Naval Construction Training Center booth, which served bratwurst and sauerkraut, off the passport belonging to Construction Mechanic Construction Apprentice Krista Gebhardt.
CS3 Mark Hargis serves up a bowl of Chinese hot and sour soup, the meal prepared by the Port Hueneme Galley for Multicultural Day.
Members of the First Class Petty Officers Association cooked spaghetti and prepared bruschetta for their Italian-themed booth. Here, CS1 Johnnie Perry serves up CS2 Rafael Pascual, who works in the galleys.
Spending seven hours preparing 642 Shrimp Lumpia for Multicultural Day paid off for the Navy Lodge crew, which walked away with first place. Amy Pechache was one of the workers who got up at 5 a.m. to help wrap the shrimp before frying them at the event.

Domestic abuse occurs not only in mil-itary communities, but in all communitiesacross the country and around theworld.Domestic abuse occurs no matter one’s
gender, language, sexual preference, so-cioeconomic status, race or religion. Avictim can be male or female, just as anoffender can be male or female.In the military, a victim or an offender
can be newly enlisted or an officer. Do-mestic abuse can occur with couples whoare just dating; it can occur with a couplemarried 50 years.As domestic abuse victim advocates, a
large part of our job is responding to re-ports of abuse or requests for assistancefrompeople in abusive relationships. How-ever, another large part of our job— andone that we put a lot of effort into — isprevention.In an ideal world, we could eradicate
domestic abuse, but we don’t have any suchgrandiose misconceptions. Rather, wemerely try to take as many steps as we can
to reduce instances of domestic abuse inour community.We get theword out aboutreporting options, resources and ways torecognize if you are in an abusive relation-ship.We do this by giving briefs to servicemembers, speaking with spouses, educat-ing commands and ombudsmen on howto spot warning signs in the families theyserve and informing them of available re-sources, and working with communityagencies that respond to domestic abuse.
As President Barack Obama stated inhis 2012 Presidential Proclamation: “AllAmericans can play a role in ending do-mestic violence. Each of us can promotehealthy relationships, speak out … standwith survivors we know, and change at-titudes that perpetuate the cycle of abuse.Wemust also ensure that survivors of do-mestic violence know they are not alone,and that there are resources available tothem.”I agree that one of themost crucial tools
anyone can provide a victim of domesticabuse is support — emotional support,someone to listen, someone to understand,someonewhowill not judge, someonewhowill not tell them what to do but rathersupport the decisions they make.As advocates, we understand the com-
plexity of abusive relationships.We do nottell victims to leave, nor do we ask victimsto leave. We provide victims with educa-tion, promote safety, provide resourcesand assist them in the choices they makeregarding their relationship. We also un-
derstand that couples can get past theabuse, but rarely without assistance.Withcounseling, they can turn a relationshipthat is unhealthy into one that is healthy.The Fleet & Family Support Center of-
fers individual and couples counseling,and it has couples workshops that focuson improving your connection, improvingyour communication and promoting ef-fective and healthy problem-solving.The FFSC also has victim advocates to
assist with safety planning, protective or-ders, shelter, questions regarding divorceor child custody and general needs.If you or someone you know is in an
abusive relationship and youwant to speakconfidentially with an advocate, please callLaura Hanson at 805-982-4117 or RosieBarnes at 805-982-3788.

Fire captures allthe attentionat open houseCONTINUED FROM 3
Here are some tips from the NationalFire Protection Association on survivinga house fire:• Plan an escape. Draw a floorplan of
your home and show everyone two waysout of each room.• Agree on a meeting place. Figure out
where everyone will gather after they’ve
escaped.• Be prepared. Make sure everyone in
your home — including children — canunlock and open all doors and windows,and make sure that if your windows havesecurity bars they’re equipped with quick-release devices that everyone knows howto use.
• Practice. Hold home fire drills, andmake them realistic by pretending someescape routes are blocked by smoke orfire.• Check your smoke alarms. Test them
every month, replace the batteries everyyear, and replace the entire alarm every10 years.
‘Have 2 ways out,’ firefighters tell families
Two firefighters fromNaval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC) wererecently named “Fire-fighter of the Year” bylocal community orga-nizations.The Kiwanis Club of
Ventura gave its awardto Capt. Michael Bond,a firefighter and emer-gency medical techni-cian at NBVC since2009. The CarefreeLiving Association ofHueneme Bay, a seniorliving complex justoutside the gates ofNBVC Port Hueneme,gave its award to Engi-neer Michael Lane. Afirefighter and emer-gency medical techni-cian at NBVC since2007, he was assignedto Port Hueneme FireStation 73 in 2011 and
helped fight a structurefire in Hueneme Bayshortly after his move.Both firefighters at-
tended local highschools. Bond gradu-ated from Santa PaulaHigh School and theOxnard College Re-gional Fire Academy.Lane graduated fromThousand Oaks HighSchool, joined the AirForce and attended ba-
sic fire school at Good-fellow Air Force Basein Texas.At NBVC, Bond is
the program managerfor the Mobile AircraftFirefighter Trainer andthe department’s driv-
er/operator programs.During a recent pro-gram compliance as-sessment, his programswere described as “bestseen to date.”Fire Chief John Ad-
kins described Bond as
“our go-to captain.”“When an issue needs
to be taken care ofquickly, Mike is theguy that gets it done,”he said.Lane was also praised
for his hard work, lead-ership skills and volun-teerism. But it was hisskills shown in theHueneme Bay fire thatthe Carefree Living As-sociation emphasizedand that Adkinsstressed.“There is no doubt
that Engineer Lane’squick actions and piv-otal leadership playeda key role in saving theadjacent properties,”Adkins told the asso-ciation.Hueneme Bay has
761 homes and wasbuilt in 1964.

that will cause interventionwhen people seeit,”Koelbel added.
Hanson said the commands’ involvementreachedanewheight this year,with theban-ner idea being well-received.“We take prevention so seriously because
the impact of domestic abuse on someone isso severe,”she explained. “Apart frombruis-es, cuts, scrapesorbrokenbones, there are somany invisible wounds that cannot beseen.”She saidmanyvictims suffer fromanxiety,
depression, lowself-esteem, socialwithdraw-al, hyper-vigilance, nightmares and physical
ailments. “Victimsmaybeunable toworkorcare for children, or they may turn to sub-stance abuse to numb the pain,” she said.Domestic violence can also carry through
to future generations, she noted.“Children witnessing violence between
parentsor caretakers is the strongest risk fac-torof transmittingviolentbehavior fromone
generation to the next,”she said. “Boyswhowitness violenceare twiceas likely tobecomeabusive in future relationships, andgirlswhowitness violencearemore likely to find them-selves inanabusive relationship in the future.Therefore, by working to prevent abuse inthis generation,we are reducing abuse in thefuture generation.”

from Naval Mobile Construction Bat-talion (NMCB) 3, which is currentlyhomeported at Port Hueneme.“We were ecstatic that they asked us to
do this,” said Chief Steelworker MarkPembleton, homeport liaison for NMCB
3. “FFSC is always there for us, so it’sgood that we were able to do somethingfor them.”LauraHanson, a domestic abuse victim
advocate with FFSC, said domestic vio-lence remains a huge problem, both inthe military and in society at large.“According to the Department of De-
fense fiscal year report in 2010, there were15,785 reported cases of domestic abuse— 51 every day,”Hanson said. “This onlyincludes married couples and only in-cludes those reported to the Family Ad-vocacy Program, so it is not an accuratereflection of the actual number of cas-es.”

Seabees fromUnderwater ConstructionTeam (UCT) 2, based at Naval Base Ven-tura County, Port Hueneme, spent twomonths this summer inspecting, stabilizingand repairing cable off the coast of theHawaiian Islands.ConstructionDive Detachment (CDD)
Charlie spent much of June and July re-pairing winter damage at Pacific MissileRange Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands,and preparing the range for this year’s Rimof the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise. Heldin August, RIMPAC is the largest inter-national maritime exercise in the world,involving 22 nations, 42 ships, six subma-rines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000personnel.PMRF is the only range in the world
where submarines, surface ships, aircraftand space vehicles can operate and betracked simultaneously. There are morethan 1,100 square miles of instrumentedunderwater range and more than 42,000square miles of controlled airspace.Seabee divers combine the best of two
disciplines, relying on their constructioncapabilities as Seabees and their compe-tence as divers to accomplishmissions thatno other unit in the Navy is capable ofperforming.For this task, UCT-2 divers worked in
depths of 30 to 120 feet of seawater off aLighter Amphibious Resupply Craft(LARC). They installed 3 tons of cast ironpipe designed to fit around the cables andprotect them from the harsh sea state.They also dove to depths of 110 feet inthe open ocean to perform maintenanceon 10 practice mines in a training minefield.In addition, two members of CDD
Charlie, Builder 1st Class (SCW/DV)Donny Wedekind and Construction Me-chanic 2nd Class (SCW) Ryan O’Toole,provided support to the Space and NavalWarfare SystemsCommandMarineMam-mal Unit using LARCs and small boatsto recover practice rounds and targets forthe exercise.Crossing the pristine Hawaiian beaches
on their way to work presented a uniquechallenge. A mother sea turtle decided tolay her eggs on the beach next to the onlylanding zone for the detachment’s equip-ment. Base environmentalists put up asafety barrier, and with careful maneuver-

ing, day-to-day operations were not af-fected. The divers were happy to reportthat after seven weeks of anticipation, allthe hatchlings made it safely to theocean.Detachment Charlie worked six days a
week to take advantage of the favorableweather conditions, completingmore than170 dives totaling more than 70 hours ofbottom time to ensure that the rangewould be ready for the exercise.“Our Seabee divers performed a variety
of tasks, from drilling stabilization points,replacing zinc anodes and placing hun-dreds of pieces of split pipe to protect thesensitive acoustic range cables from thesea state,” said Construction Electrician2nd Class (SCW/DV) Daniel Lehne.“During the winter months, the rough
wave action will move the cable across thesand, rock and coral, stripping off theprotective covering, potentially destroyingthe cables,” he explained. “The work wedo here saves the Navy hundreds of thou-sands of dollars in maintenance costscompared to a civilian company and mil-lions in replacement costs if the systemwere to go down.”Steelworker 1st Class Nate Terrazas
added, “This is the premier training rangefor the Pacific, and the work we do herecontributes directly towards fleet readi-ness.”Lt. SamWilliams, a Naval Air Systems
Command Integrated Project Team Leadoverseeing work on the range, agreed thatUCT-2’s work extended the life of therange and saved the Navy money.“The alternatives would be decreased
training capability or a total range refur-bishment, which could cost the Navy up-wards of $50million,”he said. “TheUCT-2 skill set is unique because the unit hasexpertise in both construction and deepsea diving. This allows the unit to performquality construction work in the hazard-ous ocean environment.”The training range was the first stop on
a six-month deployment that is takingUCT-2 fromKauai to Japan to the SouthPacific and Navy Region Northwest.
