What is Your Role in Preventing Sexual Assault? by Yasheka Robinson, Community Writer
The Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program is dedicated to eliminating sexual assault through preventive education and supporting victims of sexual assault. The Marine Corps and Department of Defense (DoD) are observing the 13th annual Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month with the theme “Protecting Our People Protects Our Mission.� This theme emphasizes that every servicemember and civilian has a role in understanding and upholding our core values, regardless of grade or occupational specialty, to eliminate sexual assault. Marines and Sailors can protect our mission by ensuring everyone is committed to advancing an environment where sexist behaviors, sexual harassment, hazing, bullying, and sexual assault are not tolerated, condoned, or ignored. Sexual assault hurts one, but affects ALL. What is your role in preventing sexual assault?
In the event of assault please contact the SAPR 24/7 Sexual Assault Support Line 080-5865-3566

Volunteering in Iwakuni by Zaneta Padilla, Community Writer
Photo by: James Seay
April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and we’d like to take the time to thank the dedicated volunteers aboard the installation. MCAS Iwakuni could not run all the programs we do if it weren't for volunteers. In 2016, we had over 2,000 volunteers who contributed over 60,000 hours. This number is astounding! How exactly can volunteers make an impact? Let’s look at a few ways volunteers have made a difference in our community here on MCAS Iwakuni.
out to show their gratitude. But let’s not forget about the impact volunteers had on the orphanage visits. Those visits were full of joy, happiness and tons of smiles. Also, volunteers visited elementary schools and junior high schools, where they interacted with students by learning Japanese calligraphy and origami. Volunteers were able to experience Japanese opening and closing ceremonies at the schools performed by students.” - Oana Ivanoff, Single Marine Assistant Manager
MCAS Iwakuni could not run all the programs we do if it were not for volunteers. In 2016, we had over 2000 volunteers who contributed over 60,000 hours.
“SMP had over 600 volunteers from 19 Units who collectively gave 6,056 hours of service. Service members from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan collected over 700 trash bags during clean ups in Hiroshima, Hashirijima, Tsunoshima, Oshima, and Nijigahama just to name a few. Those areas consist mainly of elderly people who find it difficult to clean up the area especially with large items. Often we have locals come

“Volunteers are central to what we do here at MCFTB. Without them, there would be no Ninja show for our kids’ deployment “Junior Ninja Warrior Days,” and we wouldn’t be able to do work at the capacity we do with workshops and events without our office volunteers who help us while simultaneously working on their resumes.” - Angela Gerrits, Marine Corps Family Team Building Lifeskills and Deployment Readiness Trainer
P R E V I E W M A G A Z I N E | F I N D U S O N F A C E B O O K : M C C S I WA K U N I
“Volunteers directly affect the way we manage and run our Youth Sports programs. Without volunteer coaches, Youth Sports would not be able to properly divide the children into age specific, reasonable, and practicable teams. The programs thrive because of our volunteer coaches.� - Eduardo Almonte, Youth Sports Coordinator Volunteers are needed at MCFTB as LINKS Mentors to help new spouses adjust to the stresses of the mobile military life style; Coaches for Youth Sports, local beach cleanups with SMP or the Station Chapel, administrative support for Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, Scout Leaders, Special Events, and much more. If you are interested in volunteering go to MCCSIwakuni.com to register your name in our new Volunteer Database and be contacted when volunteer opportunities come up.
Iwakuni would not be the same with out YOU the volunteer. On behalf of all organizations aboard Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, we salute our volunteers for their selfless dedication and service to the community. Your work has made a difference in the lives of many. For all you do, your passion and hard work,
Thank You! M C C S I WA K U N I . C O M |

Are You Ready? Through Deployment, TAD, and TDY, MCFTB has what you need to stay ready, always.
Are You:
by Angela Gerrits, Marine Corps Family Team Building
Single or Unaccompanied:
Deployments. Here at MCAS Iwakuni, we should all be very familiar with these, whether you are active duty, a family member, or a civilian, as we are all forward deployed. This forward deployment to Japan comes with unique challenges and benefits. We are in an exciting new land full of travel and cultural experiences, but also far away from the support of home. Luckily, Marine Corps Family Team Building, among other resources on base, is here to help you and yours through every step of any deployment.
The Cycle of Emotions During Deployment: Anticipation of Loss
Reintegration
Homecoming
Detachment & Withdrawal
Emotional Disorganization
Recovery & Stabilization
Anticipation of Homecoming
Iwakuni sees frequent exercises, TADs, and TDYs that impact daily routines and add challenges and hardships to service members and their families. Deployments look and feel different here in Iwakuni. You may experience weeks-long and frequent TADs or exercises, but not a long term deployment. There may even be unique challenges that you have not faced before, such as your expectations of what theses separations will mean for you. Another challenge that typically follows military families is the dreaded “Deployment Curse.” Have you heard of it? It is when the service member leaves and two days (or two hours) later the kids and pets are sick, the car won’t start, and an ID card expires… luckily, real or not, you don’t have to fear the “deployment curse” here at Iwakuni! Deployment readiness workshops and events are offered throughout the year, due to the unique operations tempo to ensure you, and your family, are always ready.
Always Ready and Pre-Deployment briefs can help you ensure you have all of your paperwork ready to go. You will learn more about how to prepare your family and friends back home, how to prepare Powers of Attorney and wills, and how to make plans for your personal belongings and bills.
Married or a Spouse of a Servicemember? Self-Care workshops and events are a great resource for spouses to gain some at-home stress management tips and a place to network with other spouses. Family Care Plan 101 briefs clear up confusion on the requirements of a Family Care Plan, Wills, and POAs for service members with dependents. Reintegration workshops and Couple’s Date Nights are great opportunities to take a break from the demands of the military and focus on strengthening the most important relationship in your life.
A Parent? Pre-, Mid-, and Post- Deployment workshops are offered for both parents and kids. Parents learn typical child reactions, based on age group, to separation and how to help them adjust to changes in mom or dad’s schedule. Our bi-annual Junior Ninja Training Day allows kids to dress up like their favorite hero character(s) and beat their deployment worries! Kids meet other kids, discover that their worries are normal, and learn how to overcome these. For more information, to sign up to attend a workshop or event, or to schedule a brief for your unit, call § 253-3754.

p erience In 2015, I had just moved to Japan. At the time, I did not work on Iwakuni MCAS. I had another job doing other things in another life. I didn’t even know the installation was here. It was Golden Week in Japan and my wife really wanted to go to Friendship Day. She had gone to Friendship Day many times over the years and it was always a special treat for her to see the air station with her family and friends.
“What is Friendship Day?” I asked. What I got was someone explaining a magical experience as if they had gone to Disney World. There is a carnival like atmosphere, people from all over Japan come on to the base, eat the food, watch the air show, buy souvenirs, see the aircraft displays, and take pictures with the service members in uniform. Okay, sounds fun! So, we went to the May 2015 Friendship Day. We parked at a friend’s place near the base and walked in along with a few thousand other people. In the rain; with no umbrella. It didn’t matter,
by Cameron Mangels, MCCS Productions
we felt the excitement of the people as they chattered, laughed, pointed, and walked to the nationally known showcase of friendship between the United States and Japan. I don’t think I have ever seen so many people moving together at once as they proceeded through the main gate. Although it was raining, that didn’t seem to dampen anyone’s mood. They were still excited to be there, and so were we. We stayed until the end of the show and made our way off the base happily chatting along with the other few thousand people making their way out past the gate. For Friendship Day 2016, I was working on Iwakuni in MCCS. I can’t tell you much about it except for the small area I was in and watched those same thousands of people stream through in front of us. Now, we are on Friendship Day 2017 and I get to be a part of it on a planning level. This brought more questions to my mind. How did Friendship Day start? How are they able to keep it going? How many people show up to this thing?
The first Friendship Day was May 5, 1973. This year will be the 41st time the event has been held. It was cancelled only a couple of times throughout its history. The event in 1973 was the first public air show; however, there were many annual “Open House” events before then.
Eventually, groups sold souvenirs to help raise money for units to use for their fun activities. This led to allowing vendors to come in and sell food and merchandise. More food, shops, and displays brought even more recognition and more attendance. With the addition of the air show in 1973, we now have the Friendship Day that we are familiar with and an average attendance of about 250,000 people per year.
The first Open House Friendship Day does was put together in not exist simply 1956 in response to bec ause someone On December 8, 2016 the Dick Schram increased tension in once said, “Hey!
