Friends and family members clapped and cheered with excitement as they welcomed home their Marines and sailors of 2nd Marine Division (Forward), the last of who arrived early Friday morning.

The unit headed Task Force Leatherneck, which served as the ground combat ele-

ment for Regional Command (Southwest) in Afghanistan, and returned from a successful yearlong deployment after transitioning authority of the task force to 1st Marine Division (Fwd.). Brigadier Gen. Lewis A. Craparotta, commanding general of 2nd Marine Division (Fwd.), relinquished command to Maj. Gen. David H. Berger, commanding general of 1st Marine Division (Fwd.), during

a ceremony at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, recently.

Hundreds of family members came from across the United States to greet their hometown heroes. Tears streamed down cheeks and smiles lit up across dozens of faces as some parents held their children for the first time, husbands embraced their wives and longtime friends reunited after many months apart.

The year proved successful

for the deployed Marines and sailors of Helmand and Nimroz provinces as they aided in significantly reducing the insurgent threat in the area there.

Craparotta gave some examples of just how successful his Marines and sailors were last year.

Their humble home is exceptionally primitive, but it’s all the deployed infantrymen need.

Patrol Base Bury, a tiny base contained by concertina wire and giant Hesco barriers, is the humble home of Marines with third platoon, Company K, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, during their seven-month deployment to Helmand province’s Garmsir District.

This deployment has brought them far from home in both distance and circumstance.

At Bury, the third platoon Marines live and work with the Afghan National Police. They mentor the ANP in a partnered combat operations center, and patrol with them in and around the nearby Safar Bazaar, Garmsir’s busiest commercial center.

Every moment of every day, Marines protect the base by standing security posts. Their duties are challenging, repetitive and tedious.

When they complete a day’s work, they can’t return home to their families, a home-cooked meal or a hot shower. They return to Bury.

“When our work is done, we look forward to coming back here and enjoying each other’s company,” said Lance Cpl. Jeremy Landers, a rifleman with third platoon. “We’ve been here for a while – it’s home now.”

Safe within their slice of heaven, the grunts unwind.

“Things get repetitive at this point in the deployment, but we find things to kill time and stay levelheaded,” Landers said. “Refreshing helps us stay concentrated and focused on getting everyone home safely.”

Several Marines filter into a ragtag gym, pumping iron to the sweet sounds of a fastpaced melody which they claim as rock music. A group of four stands in the makeshift kitchen, joking and reminiscing about their last deployment.

“We spend a lot of our down time just standing around talking,” said Lance Cpl. Tom Morton, team leader with third platoon.

“You think we’d run out of things to talk about after spending four months with the same people, but somehow we always find something new.”

Though Bury’s combat kitchen is a popular place for the Company K Marines to converse, it’s also the grounds for one of their favorite downtime activities. Here they concoct creative cuisine using items they’ve drawn from meals, ready to eat and care packages.

“I grew up having only a little – a lot of us did,” said Lance Cpl. Michael Hogan, a rifleman with third platoon. “We’re used to doing SEE PATROL 4A

Nawa District Governor Haji Abdul Manaf and Lt. Col. Matthew T. Morrissey, the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment commanding officer, participated in a brick laying ceremony at the Basulan School construction site, recently.

The Basulan School is the latest partnered construction project undertaken by the local Afghan government and Marine forces in the district.

“For a long time the people in this area of Nawa have been anxious to see their young children able to get an education,” said Manaf. “This school will benefit the area greatly, and it shows that we are truly making progress in education for our people.”

The school, being constructed in the village of Basulan, is the first means of education for children in this area of Nawa. Previously, students had to walk more than three miles to attend an education center, making it difficult for Basulan residents to send their children to school.

Since Manaf was appointed as district governor, 11 schools have been built Nawa. Together they provide an education to more than 9,400 students.

With the completion of the neighboring Karzai school and the school in Basulan, educators will be teaching 10,000 students who had never before dreamed of attending school.

“Before I was the governor, there were no schools.

We’re now about to build our twelfth school in the district,” said Manaf. “After the completion of the Basulan School, we can move forward even more, and we won’t continue to need assistance from the United States.”

The governor understands the reality his district is currently facing. As Marine forces shift into an advisory role in Nawa and reduce their presence throughout the district, Afghan forces will take the lead in security operations. This will naturally place more responsibility on the district government to provide for its people.

With schools in place and proper oversight from district leadership, Manaf believes he and the people of Nawa will land on their feet.

“If you are passionate about moving to a better future, then you work hard to achieve your goals,” said Manaf.

“I have gone door to door talking to the people of Nawa, SEE LEADERSHIP 7A

Marines launch new interactive website to showcase the diversity of missions Today, the United States Marine Corps announced the re-launch of its website, www.Marines.com, designed to more dynamically illustrate the history, impact and journey of America's elite warriors. With more than 150 creative video depictions of real-life Marine training and missions, the site offers an authentic glimpse into what makes a Marine.

New features include more than 500 photos and videos, an ability to personalize content and improved navigational storytelling. The storytelling approach shows Marines in a way previously only known to the few men and women who serve in the Corps. The site reflects how Marines have continued to evolve and grow, like today's diverse society they protect, to fight a wider array of battles and a greater spectrum of threats. Additionally, this resource is one of the first introductions to Marine Corps career opportunities and works to meet today's growing social culture

and highlight alignment with the generational youth aspirations for public service and education.

"We redesigned Marines.com to tell our story, share our achievements and highlight the development of America's best and brightest youth," said Capt. Frederick Evert, lead generation officer, Marine Corps Recruiting Command. "The new site provides a range of tools and information as youth embark on one of the most important decisions a citizen can make."

The Marines are dedicated to providing information and tools that potential recruits can leverage as they set off on an unwavering and relentless process that tests mind, body and character. The site includes a registration tool that personalizes information and updates, answers questions, connects directly to recruiters and takes users on a journey to determine what it takes to be a Marine.

New content on Marines.com includes:

- Personalized account management that provides answers to questions and is aligned with user interests.

- A "Career Tool" that allows users to answer questions to gain a better understanding of the many career opportunities available in the Marine Corps.

- An enhanced video library that allows users to save a queue of videos to see and better understand the few who wear the Marine Corps uniform as they complete their missions.

- The "Becoming a Marine" section that walks users through the intensive 12-week recruit training with videos that allow users to visualize key milestones, such as overcoming the 11 unique challenges of the Confidence Course and earning the Marine Corps Emblem.

Comprehensive social media integration that allows for almost every feature on the new website to be shared through properties such as Facebook and Twitter.

CAMP LEATHERNECK, AFGHANISTAN

Navy surgeon’s medical team carves legacy into blank slate, improves trauma care system

CHIEF PETTY OFFICER LESLIE SHIVELY Regional Command Southwest

Just as Benjamin Franklin brought the colonies together with his “Join or Die” snake, Navy Capt.

Jeffrey Timby likened the importance of developing a trauma care system in Helmand and Nimroz provinces to fusing a head on a snake.

His initial impression of the state of the emergency health care system in Afghanistan came during a health care development meeting with the Afghan National Security Forces.

At the meeting, he said he had an epiphany of sorts.

During a break, he was walking with the interpreter for the Afghan National Army’s 215th Corps surgeon.

“Dr. Timby, I’ve been here for three years and we have never done anything like this. I am so excited to see you,” the interpreter said.

“This was the first time an effort was made toward organizing the disparate efforts of a large number of people toward a common goal of a medical program of training for the Afghan forces,” Timby, Regional Command Southwest’s surgeon, said.

Although the Basic Package of Health Services program had been implemented by the Afghan Ministry of Public Health during 2009 – with trauma and trauma-related care identified as priorities – plugging emergency medical response into current infrastructure just one year ago was impossible.

“There was no ambulance system, no 911 to call,” Timby said. “It’s a blank slate. Without a police and fire dispatch system, there cannot be an emergency dispatch system. Without a communications network, there cannot be a dispatch system.”

Timby realized training medics would have to be the first step toward building a medical emergency response system.

“It’s a chicken or the egg thing,” he said. “If a guy gets injured, who is going to take care of him? Well, you need a medical system, which means you’re back at the start of the vicious circle. You can’t have any of it if you don’t have people.”

Given the low literacy rate in Afghanistan, training medics using a textbook-based curriculum was also impossible. So, the surgeon and his team looked at alternatives. The British Advisory Group had been working with the ANA’s 215th Corps putting together a skills-based, hands-on apprenticeship program – teaching by demonstration.

Timby’s team took the on-the-job-training model, amplified it with videography and photographs producing a training curriculum covering point-of-injury care: hemorrhage, airway, breathing, circulation.

“It was excellent and that’s where we started focusing our efforts,” Timby said. “In December alone, we graduated more than 90 medics. Other classes are now standing up and about every three months they will be able to graduate between 60 and 90 medics per session.”

FORWARD OPERATING BASE DELARAM II, AFGHANISTAN

Shock trauma platoon awarded for success in Helmand STAFF SGT. ROBERT STORM Regimental Combat Team 6

The Marines and sailors of the shock trauma platoon, 2nd Medical Battalion, received a certificate of commendation aboard Forward Operating Base Delaram II for their work from August 2011 to March 2012.

During their time in Helmand Province, the STP provided essential medical care throughout their area of coverage. They treated more than 500 patients consisting of local civilians, Afghan National Army forces and International Security Assistance Forces to include American, Georgian, Jordanian and Italian armed forces.

“It’s been an interesting deployment. We’ve seen a lot of severe trauma, mostly with the ANA,” Navy Capt. David Keblish said, STP officer in charge.

“We definitely saw the ghastly, gory side of war, but we were well supported, had good quality gear and an absolute crackerjack team. They performed top notch, I couldn’t be more proud.”

The STP also treated 150 patients that were severe category – a trauma that required intensive medical interventions and surgeries. They had a 99 percent survival rate. As a Role II facility they supported 80 medical evacuation missions to higher Role III facilities.

“Role III facilities have everything. They can give MRI’s and CT scans. They have more beds and personnel. We have surgeons, so we get the bleeding stopped and get the patient stable. Then, when they can survive the trip, we get them to a Role III hospital,” Petty Officer 1st Class James Mayluk said, lead petty officer.

“We can do a lot of things here – X-ray’s, lab work and other things – but we’re more like an emergency room. We travel with them, make sure they’re safe and then pass them on to higher level facilities.”

The STP is a small, mobile medical unit designed to support Marine Corps combat operations.

These specialized medical units are capable of providing emergency lifesaving medical care in the severe environments of a combat zone.

“It was a different experience treating Afghan locals. Their medicine is way different, not as updated,” Petty Officer 1st Class Shane Holt said, STP camp commandant. “They use a lot of home

remedies. We’d see burn victims come in with flour or whatever else they could throw on it thinking it would help.”

When a Marine is severely wounded on the battlefield, it is critical for the injured person to receive emergency trauma care within the first hour. This is known as “the golden hour.”

The golden hour represents the time from the point of injury to the time the patient receives treatment. Unfortunately, sometimes casualties can occur in inaccessible locations where rapid medical care is impossible. The STP has the capability to increase the chance of survival greatly, even when the golden hour is not met.

Sgt. Wade McKinley, the 2nd Marine Logistics Group color sergeant, holds the American flag while Maj. Gen. Michael G. Dana, the 2nd MLG commanding general, speaks to more than 700 Marines and sailors after a motivational run aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently.

Dark skies, bitter breezes, and chilly temperatures weren’t enough to stop more than 700 Marines and sailors from flooding the streets of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Maj. Gen. Michael G. Dana, 2nd Marine Logistics Group commanding general, led the Marines and sailors of 2nd MLG on a motivational run around base, recently.

Each unit proudly sported their guidon and regimental colors while one Marine carried the American flag in the front of the pack.

“My hands may fall asleep, but it’s such a privilege and honor to run behind the general and group sergeant major,” said Sgt. Wade McKinley, 2nd MLG color sergeant.

“I couldn’t ask for a better billet.”

For McKinley, the sounds of Marines calling cadences and the hundreds of footsteps behind him are what keep him going.

“Everything about (physical training) to me is motivating,” explained McKinley. “If you’re down in the morning and you come and PT, it’ll bring your spirits up for the rest of the day.”

Little did the Marines know morale would increase even more after the run when Dana informed them of a short workday. Dana also expressed his gratitude for the Marines and sailors before releasing them.

“Everyone, raise your right hand, and no, you’re not going to reenlist for another four years,” said Dana. “Pat yourself on the back. You Marines have done a phenomenal job this past year. I couldn’t be more pleased. Whether you were in Afghanistan or if you were back here, you all did a phenomenal job.”

The majority of 2nd MLG has returned from Afghanistan, and the general says they can focus more on stateside operations.

“Just do what you have to do – at the unit level and the individual level,” he said.

“What that means is you do what you’re told. You don’t abuse other Marines. When your unit gets a tasking, it gets done. Just do your job.”

Dana had one last thing to say to the Marines and sailors before cutting them loose.

“I have never been around a better quality of Marines and sailors in my career,” he concluded. “You’re the best we’ve ever had. I want to thank you for what you do every day.”

2/9 supporters exercise from Lejeune to Afghanistan, back CPL. ANDREW D. JOHNSTON 2nd Marine Division

Family members and friends of 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, have been exercising lately and it’s enough to go to Afghanistan and back – which is exactly what they are trying to do.

In December 2010, Lindsay PrattBluemle, spouse of Staff Sgt. Daniel Bluemle, an infantry unit leader with Weapons Company, 2nd Bn., 9th Marines, started looking at different ways family members and friends could get involved and support the unit while they’re deployed to Afghanistan. After talking it over with the unit and several other spouses, Miles to Afghanistan was born.

The program is a competition between the battalion’s companies’ family members and friends. The main goal is for each of the company’s supporters to collectively earn 14,440 miles through exercise and physical activity. The number of miles they are trying to reach is no coincidence. It roughly equals the

round-trip distance from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, to where the unit is currently serving in Afghanistan. The company to first hit the milestone will receive a special welcome home pizza party with other gifts.

Pratt-Bluemle said she wanted to give everyone who was associated with the Marines and sailors an opportunity to get involved and support the troops.

“A lot of the time, family events revolve around spouses and immediate family,” said Pratt-Bluemle. “So the idea behind Miles to Afghanistan is that you don’t have to be a spouse, you can be a friend, cousin and you can live anywhere. It’s meant to engage all of our family members and help them do something so they can support our guys.”

The miles can be accumulated through any type of intentional physical activity. For instance, walking from your car to your office desk doesn’t count. Pratt-Bluemle said the wide range of activities people are participating in to earn miles is amazing.

“People can do different types of

things to earn miles,” said Pratt-Bluemle. “We have people running marathons, doing Zumba. We even have a guy who is walking from Colorado all the way to North Carolina. The main emphasis is we didn’t want people getting credit for doing things like housework or just your everyday walking from here to there.”

Melissa Moore, spouse of Sgt. Ryan Moore, Weapons Company, 2nd Bn., 9th Marines, said that each company has a MTA representative and that each week the miles are e-mailed in so they can be tallied up. She said that it’s not just the miles that are getting bigger in number, but the following as well.

“It’s amazing and I am thrilled that we have more participants than we anticipated,” said Moore. “We started out with 300 in the first couple of weeks and triple(d) that amount within nine weeks to 955 – it’s wonderful.”

One of the things Pratt-Bluemle said was most rewarding about the program was being able to connect people with

HOME FROM 1A he explained during an interview regarding the progress in Marjah, a former insurgent hotbed. “Overall in Marjah, (in 2011), there were 176 significant events. Last year that figure was up above 900.”

The more than 80 percent decrease in significant events across the battle space is a reflection of the Marines and sailors dedicated to securing the Afghan people, defeating insurgent forces and enabling Afghan National Security Forces assumption of security responsibilities within its area of operations.

Insurgent forces in Southwest Afghanistan have been eliminated in many areas and show a strong foundation of established security. Some Afghan government officials give credit to the Marines and sailors for the improved security.

“Before when there was no security, the area was in the hands of the enemy,” said Nawa District Community Council Chairman Jan Agha. “With the help of the Marines and sailors in our area, we were able to get our people to have faith in the government and work with us to make Nawa better for everyone.”

Craparotta said the division’s focus in the past year was conducting operations while living among the people and spreading out the forces, known as population – centric counterinsurgency, as well as putting a great deal of effort into partnered operations. As a result, the insurgency was unable to launch a spring offensive and only produced a dwindled fighting season, as compared to 2010.

Now that the 2nd Marine Division (Fwd.) headquarters has completed its mission in Afghanistan, members of the unit can begin to return to the lives they left behind with friends and family and enjoy quality time with those closest to them.

“I’m just happy to be home with my wife and kids,” said Cpl. James Blizzard, who served as a watch clerk for the Combat Operations Center with the unit. “There’s no better feeling than having my baby girl in my arms surrounded by family.”

His wife and children were among dozens of family members at one of several homecoming events awaiting the Marines and sailors. Family and friends held up colorful, decorated signs and stood anxiously as the members arrived in buses. One by one, the service members filed out of the buses and proceeded through the crowds of open arms and joyful smiles, ready for the homecoming celebrations they have been anxiously awaiting.

PATROL FROM 1A the best with what we’ve been given.”

Seated on his green fold-up cot in an unheated tent, Hogan relaxes by disappearing into his sketchpad, penciling down an idea for his next tattoo. Three of his friends huddle around a glowing laptop on a cot behind him, chuckling at a cheesy comedy show.

Even though they don’t have the comforts of showers, Internet, phones or even a port-a-potty, the Marines are happy. They don’t whine about what they don’t have; they take pride in their humble circumstances.

“Life may be simple here, but it’s fulfilling,” Morton said. “We learn to adapt and solve problems, to use whatever we’ve got to make the best life we can.”

They are masters in contentment, cleaning themselves with only water bottles and baby wipes, handwriting letters to their loved ones and using the rare opportunity to call home from a nearby combat outpost.

“Things like not being able to take a real shower become a part of life here,” Hogan said. “I don’t take things like this for granted any more.”

The third platoon Marines may have little in tangible form, but they are rich in shared experience. Without fail, they have the men to their left and right.

“I’ve got the best friends I’ve ever had with me here,” Hogan said. “Living like this sometimes sucks, but at the same time, it makes us smile. We’re building memories.”

At night, they lay their heads to rest in their dusty tents. They sleep, rise and repeat the grind of an infantryman – together.

“The kind of bond you develop on deployment is hard to express to someone who hasn’t experienced something like this. Nothing can compare to the camaraderie we build here,” Morton said. “We spend so much time together on a consecutive basis that we learn each other’s tendencies, habits and preferences to the degree. No matter what situation I’m in, I know my fellow Marines have my back.”

In this challenging cycle, the Marines of PB Bury — a mishmash of races, cultures, experiences and personalities — have formed an unbreakable bond.

“When we move on, we’re going to scatter to the wind all over the country and many of us will lose contact, but we’ll still remember the times we had here,” Morton said.

From the Social Security Online Retirement Planner: “Since 1957, if you had military service earnings for active duty (including active duty for training), you paid Social Security taxes on those earnings. Since 1988, inactive duty service in the Armed Forces Reserves (such as weekend drills) has also been covered by Social Security.

Under certain circumstances, special extra earnings for your military service from 1957 through 2001 can be credited to your record for Social Security purposes. These extra earnings credits may help you qualify for Social Security or increase the amount of your Social Security benefit.

Special extra earnings credits are granted for periods of active duty or active duty for training. Special extra earnings credits are not granted for inactive duty training. If your active military service occurred from 1957 through 1967, we will add the extra credits to your record when you apply for Social Security benefits. From 1968

through 2001, you do not need to do anything to receive these extra credits.

The credits are automatically added to your record. After 2001, there are no special extra earning credits for military service.

The information that follows applies only to active-duty military service earnings from 1957 through 2001.

Here is how the special extra earnings are credited on your record: service members from 1957 through 1977 are credited with $300 in additional earnings for each calendar quarter in which you received active duty basic pay. For service in 1978 through 2001, you are credited with an additional $100 in earnings up to a maximum of $1,200 a year for every $300 in active-duty basic pay. If you enlisted after Sept.

7, 1980, and didn’t complete at least 24 months of active-duty or your full tour, you may not be able to receive the additional earnings. Check with Social Security for details by calling 800-772-1213.”

Each prepared to pay their last respects to eight of their fallen brothers during the memorial service held by 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, at the Base Theater aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently.

Franklin N. Watson, Scott D. Harper, Christopher P. Levy and Cpl. Phillip D. Mcgeath all made the ultimate sacrifice fighting alongside their fellow Marines and sailors while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.

The families of the fallen, each shedding tears of sorrow, were far from alone in their mourning as the number of attendees reached nearly 1,000. A select few of the Marines and sailors closest to the fallen heroes took the stage to share their fond memories of their close friends and brothers-in-arms during the service.

“I will always remember Terry for the person he was and not the things he did

or didn’t do,” said Lance Cpl. Morris, speaking on behalf of Lance Cpl. Terry C. Wright. “He was a caring and truly funny person who loved dogs and loved to be around them. We would always make time to go to the park and play with the dogs.

Terry is with us all in spirit and is ever present in our minds. We will always remember the good and bad times because those moments brought us all closer as a family and as brothers. I know, wherever he is now, Terry is surrounded by good people and a pack of playful dogs.”

After the last friend of the fallen stepped down from the stage, the battalion’s commanding officer took the podium and expressed his gratitude for the presence of the families of the fallen Marines and sailors as well as his grief felt at the loss of the eight

heroes who gave their lives.

“It is impossible to remove the sadness of their deaths, but we cannot forget the obligation their sacrifice gives us,” said Lt. Col. George Benson, battalion commander of 1st Bn., 6th Marines. “We are obligated to live meaningful and purposeful lives. The richer and more meaningful our lives, the more meaningful and profound their sacrifice. We will never forget them. We will honor them above all other Americans and we will teach our children to do the same.

We will earn what they have given us.”

The service came to a close as the final roll call was sounded for each of the warriors. Each name called was accompanied by a solemn bell toll and following the final bell, the service ended with the playing of Taps.

LEADERSHIP FROM 1A

Afghan Local Police Academy graduates new class in Nawa District CPL. JOHNNY MERKLEY Regimental Combat Team 5

Marines with the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment Police Advisory Team held a ceremony for the most recently graduated students of the Afghan Local Police Academy, recently.

After three weeks of training and more than 120 hours of instruction, the 59 newly graduated members of the ALP will begin conducting security operations throughout Helmand province’s Nawa District, protecting their local communities.

“This was a lot of hours of training … six days a week we trained together,” said Cpl. Brett S. Clark, an ALP instructor with 2nd Bn., 6th Marines. “After this course, I believe each one of the ALP have a better understanding of their duty and more discipline.”

As the graduates received their certificates,

each one thanked their Marine instructors for the hard work they put in during the three week course.

“Every single student came up and thanked us for putting in the hours and time to train them,” said Clark. “They really appreciated that we took time away from our home and families to help them improve their community.”

Over the duration of the course, the instructors taught the recruits skills relevant to police and infantry operations such as patrolling, marksmanship training, handcuffing procedures, baton techniques and other useful classes designed to improve their operational capabilities.

“If we didn’t teach them these skills, they wouldn’t be properly prepared to be the local police for Nawa,” said Clark. “If they didn’t have this academy, it would drastically affect the local community. It’s important we teach them to serve and protect their community so Nawa can

continue to progress.”

The academy also touched on subjects like human rights, rule of law and the Afghan constitution which further prepares the ALP to conduct themselves as members of a professional police force and provide the community with quality protection.

“The course as a whole went very smoothly, but the highlight came when the Nawa District prosecutor Mohammed Aloah came and spoke to the recruits on various human right classes,” said Master Sgt. Joe Caspole, director of the ALP course.

During the graduation ceremony, ALP class commander, Joma Khan, was recognized for his hard work and dedication throughout the course.

Following words from Lt. Col. Matthew T. Morrissey, 2nd Bn., 6th Marines commanding officer, and Nawa District Governor Haji Abdul Manaf, the students received their certificates.

urging them to send their children to school so we can eventually have a better future.”

Being able to govern and operate effectively starts with locals taking responsibility and working together toward improving their community. This sentiment is already being put into practice at the Basulan School construction site.

“This school will be completely Afghan built,” said Morrissey. “This project’s success is completely up to the Afghan workers and contractors put in place to complete this project.”

“The people of Nawa are very excited to have the opportunity for an education,” added Manaf. “Many of the locals donated money to help buy the land and begin the construction process on many of our schools.”

With district residents building more schools and taking responsibility for the security of their community, coalition forces in Nawa are able to begin their transition into an advisory role. The Basulan School should be completed and its doors open to students within the next six months.

“I think they were really proud to receive their certificates and a patch to put on their uniforms,” said Clark. “They’re the ones who put in all the hard work so the graduation ceremony brought a well-deserved feeling of accomplishment for all of them.”

With its first graduating class already conducting security operations in Nawa, the ALP academy is set to start training a new batch of recruits in the coming weeks.

While the instructors believe each course has effectively produced new members of the ALP, they are always looking for ways to improve the curriculum and training events.

“For the next ALP Academy, we revamped the schedule to give it a better flow,” said Caspole.

“We’re placing more emphasis on weapons handling and patrolling, along with adding a final exercise which will test them on everything they’ve learned.”

MEDICAL FROM 3A Prior to implementing the OJT model of teaching, only 17 medics graduated between March and October last year.

The team took the program further.

“The medical program that we’ve put it place, grown and matured, has been handed over to the Afghans,” said Chief Petty Officer James Cartier, Combined Medical plans and operations chief, adding that Afghans now train their own people.

Cartier said a literacy course is also offered with medical training. “It promotes a very favorable outcome in which you have a literate, independently functioning Afghan medic.”

In cooperation with RC(SW) C9, the unit responsible for development, governance and reintegration, the team also developed a unified, self-supporting Afghan medical system that will include emergency response for military, police and civilians.

“It’s definitely saving lives. I am very pleased at the success our team has been able to accomplish here,” Cartier said.

Timby foresees continuing the program once he returns home. He plans on inviting Afghan surgeons for a two- to three-week familiarization itinerary of U.S. emergency response systems and returning them to Afghanistan to implement improvements as necessary.

Calling the arrangement a “brain trust,” he said lessons learned from applying the knowledge and capabilities of remote-area care in places such as Montana, Wyoming or even Alaska could be used in Afghanistan for the benefit of both countries.

“Alaska is bigger than Afghanistan and 10 times more remote,” Timby said. “We do it there, why can’t we do it here?”

“It’s amazing to hear the families' stories as they’re participating in the program,” said Pratt-Bluemle. “I remember one e-mail I got where they were telling me they wanted to stop after one mile and how it was really cold

with three feet of snow on the ground, but they said they wanted to keep going for (Company E). That was just so cool to me. She did six miles in the snow that day because she wanted to continue going and really show her support for the company and her Marine.”

Pratt-Bluemle wouldn’t reveal who was in the lead and said it was going to be kept a secret until the end.

She did say that between all of the companies, the participants have been giving it their all and wanted to thank everyone for getting involved.

“It’s really been a word-of-mouth program,” said Pratt-Bluemle. “We sent out rosters and e-mails, and we encouraged people to continue talking about it so family members and friends that we might not have contact with could find out about it.”

“Right now, we’re sitting at about 80,000 miles between all of the companies, which is about five and a half trips from here to Afghanistan and back. It’s amazing. Our family members are just amazing,” said PrattBluemle.

Sneakers skidded on the court and teammates shouted to one another as they passed the ball back and forth during the MARSOC HQ and 2nd Medical Battalion intramural basketball game aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River, March 1.

The game promised to be exciting after both teams scored in the first 10 seconds after tipoff, bringing fans to their feet and keeping them on their toes throughout the entire game.

MARSOC proved they were a force to be reckoned with by shooting baskets with accuracy and poise while 2nd Medical Battalion, who made it to the quarterfinals in last year’s intramural basketball program, leveled the playing field with strong defensive plays.

At their midway point of the season, both teams had to work hard to keep control of the game.

an early lead by exercising several rebounds and excelling in their offensive game play, while the 2nd Medical Battalion faltered through several minutes of the first period, due to miscommunication between the players on the court. After a quick huddle, though, it was back to the court with a vengeance and the athletes talked and encouraged each other on the court.

“I always like seeing athletes encourage one another instead of discouraging each other on the court,” said Antonio Warner, intramural sports coordinator. “Every single team in the program has the talent to accomplish everything they want if they work as a team and talk to one another. Instead of pushing each other day, I like to see them encouraging each other and gaining confidence in the individuals on their team.”

MARSOC held a steady lead through the entire game and when the buzzer sounded, the final score was 44-49. The MARSOC HQ team left the court with the game in the palms of their hands, having earned their win using a combination of quick defensive strategies and wearing down their opponents as they SEE GAME 7B

Hurricane Irene repairs continue to shape coast

Six months after she swept through the North Carolina coast, construction crews are still working hard to repair the damage left behind

by Hurricane Irene. I am happy to report that work has begun on Oceanana Pier and the damage at the end of the pier is being repaired. It looks like construction crews are seizing the opportunity to replace the old benches on the Oceanana Pier, in addition to making critical safety repairs.

Work on Boge Pier is still moving swiftly. A few more cross beams need to be placed around the “T” fishing deck before the construction crews can start working on the reconstructing the

observation area, a popular feature on the pier.

While construction may not be complete March 17, Bogue Pier owner Mike Stanley says all critical repairs will be completed and the pier will be in great shape for fishing.

The Island Harbor Marina in Emerald Isle is also continuing their Hurricane Irene damage repair.

After removing the damaged docks, the Marina is in the painfully long rebuilding phase and is currently working on the remodel of its east-facing docks.

On the another note not related to damage from Hurricane Irene, the Cedar Point Wildlife Ramp looks like it is almost complete. The boat ramp with two docking bays and the short fishing pier have both been completed and the finishing touches on the parking lot are taking place right now. The Cedar Point Wildlife Ramp should be done and ready to open in the next month.

Sadly, that is all the

good news I have this week. Fishing has been nearly nonexisistent.

Without any anglers taking to the water, information has been very difficult to come by. There are still a few black and red drum at the Lookout Jetty and the Fort Macon Rock Jetty. There are also drum showing up in the marshes behind Bear Island. Most of the drum that have been caught recently have been caught using shrimp for bait. Water has been clear, which makes it easy for anglers to see fish, but difficult for anglers to catch fish, since they spook easily.

When it comes to speckled trout, there are still a few places that have reported catches recently.

I have heard that some large trout have been spotted and caught in Hadnot Creek, Hancock Creek and other small creeks along the Neuse River. These brackish water creeks also have some stipers, bass and pickerels swimming in them, as well.

Even though the Highway 24 creeks have slowed and much of the natural baits have left the area, I noticed a few speckled trout.

Despite there not be-

ing much information to draw from, I have some good news for king mackerel and cobia anglers. I have spotted large schools of menhaden roaming around the piers and keeping close to the beaches, recently.

This bait will attract fish, which will be a welcome change after a very slow season in 2011.

Finally, it is time for the annual Get Hooked on Fishing series at the Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. This yearly event includes participation in four sessions, minisessions and drop-in demonstrations by local fishing professionals. It also included a catered lunch, drawings for fishing gear and free giveaways. Various fishing businesses and boating agencies will be on hand to help answer questions. The program will take place March 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The Ask Dr. Bogus Fishing show can be heard every Monday morning at 7:30 on 107.1 FM and 1240 AM and can be accessed on the Coastal Daybreak Facebook page.

“It’s the first tournament of the year, and we had a pretty good turnout, even with the rain,” said Cameron Brooks, manager of Gottschalk Marina. “Bass usually don’t feed when it rains, and when it’s cold they’ll stay in deeper water to stay warm. But that’s not going to stop them from being caught.”

There were 19 teams that participated in the event, which started at 6 a.m. and ended at 4 p.m.

Spouses Lejeune Area Kickball Association kicks off season opener CPL. ANDREW D. JOHNSTON

2nd Marine Division

Over the course of 18 months, a friendly game between the spouses of two Marine units has turned into a full-fledged kickball league, boasting 24 teams.

Kicking off the start to their season, 12 teams from the Spouses Lejeune Area Kickball Association competed in an opening day tournament aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently.

Caitlin Lewis, the SLAKA commissioner and a military spouse, said she never thought the league would grow this large and was amazed at the type of positive feedback the association has received. “(Spouses Lejeune Area Kickball Association) was established in the fall of 2010 by two wives. Originally it was only two teams,” said Lewis. “Over the course of six months word spread and by the Spring Thaw Tournament of 2011 we had nine teams — by 2012 there were 24 (teams).”

With team names like Lejeunitics, 2 Legit 2 Kick and Weapons of Mass Distraction, word of the league spread like wildfire across MCB Camp Lejeune and surrounding bases. Lewis said teams started springing up throughout the area.

“It’s not just Lejeune who’s involved,” said Lewis. “We’ve got teams from (Marine Corps Air Station New River) with spouses from (Marine Corps Air Station) Cherry

Point playing on those teams as well. Word got out, and we just kept growing.”

The main purpose of the league is to bring spouses together in a new and creative way. Lewis said that the kickball association was an inventive way for wives to build camaraderie and provides the means for spouses, who otherwise wouldn’t attend typical unit functions, a way to get involved.

“It establishes a support group for wives while their husbands are deployed and even in garrison,” said Lewis. “One of the main things that we

have talked about is that the kickball league brings out wives that normally may not participate in other events within the unit. Offering that opportunity has been really rewarding, just based off the amount of participation that we have.”

Dara Frye, family readiness officer for 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, agreed with Lewis on how the kickball association has been especially helpful for the wives whose husbands are abroad.

“It’s exciting, especially for the units that are deployed,” said Frye.

“This is a way to bring

the wives together and it gives them something to look forward to. Everyone was just so excited to get together.”

Lewis pointed out that the main highlight of each season is the final tournament for charity, where donations are collected through concessions and contributions from each team.

“We have a big tournament (each) season that benefits the Wounded Warrior Battalion East Warrior Athletic Program,” said Lewis. “We raise money through the concession stands and an optional challenge entry fee, where teams pool

their money together.

Whoever ends up donating the most starts ahead in their first game with a couple runs.”

The SLAKA champion is played during the Spring Thaw and Fall Fling tournaments. The current reigning champ is the 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, Lejeunitics. Lewis is looking forward to the rest of the season and thanks everyone who has supported the league.

“In the end, the league looks forward to the big tournament where we get a chance to give back to the Wounded Warrior Battalion,” said Lewis.

“We had great success with it in the fall and we really look forward to it this season.

“With all the help and support we’ve been getting, I’m happy everything has come together like it has,” added Lewis.

LHS softball team seeks strong season JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

There is something about spring that draws the ladies of the Lejeune High School Devil Pups’ softball team to the diamond.

Maybe it is the smell of the grass, the crunch of dried clay or the distinct sound of a bat and ball colliding for the first time in months.

Regardless of what it is that pulls her athletes back to the field day after day, LHS softball coach Rebecca Austin is glad it exists.

With their season officially underway, the Devil Pups’ softball team has a lot to prove this year. After a devastating loss that knocked them out of the tournament last year, they have returned to the softball field with a vengeance and are working to make their upcoming season one for the history books.

“We have a lot more confidence this year than we did last year,” said Austin. “The girls are starting to click a little better as a team and I have nine returners from last year, including three seniors.”

In her second year of coaching softball at Lejeune High School, Austin and her assistant coach, Jennifer Metz, have assembled a team of athletes who are willing to learn and are open to changing old habits that inhibit them on the field. With years of softball under their belts and countless examples to draw from, Austin and Metz use their experience on the field to help teach their young athletes.

“At the beginning of the year, we told them they had to communicate,” said Austin. “The first couple of practices, (Metz) and I would get out on the field with them and be yelling and screaming and going crazy. They thought it was funny at first, but then they caught on and started to call plays and cheer each other on.”

Communication is one of the many building blocks that Austin and Metz have put in place to help mold and shape their young team. Since many of their teammates don’t have a lot of fast-pitch softball

experience, the Devil Pups’ softball team is still learning the basics.

Learning technique and conference rules is a part of the team’s daily practice schedule. They have spent time learning the art of stealing a base and perfecting their sliding techniques, as well as worked on hitting and fielding.

“We really try to keep it simple, especially for the girls who have never played before,” explained Austin.

“We start out throwing little wrist snaps and then move to tossing, scarecrows, short throws and long throws. When they go to bat during practice, we stand beside them and give pointers so they can correct whatever they are doing wrong.

“We’re lucky to have some really coachable girls on our team this year,” continued Austin.

“We have one girl who has never played before, but she’s learned so much and come such a long way because she is really willing to learn. She works hard.

She brought her pants to practice one day to practice sliding and by the end of the day, she had holes in her pants, but she never gave up and she had it mastered.”

In the midst of teaching the fundamentals of the game to their athletes, Austin and Metz refuse to let the little things slide.

Incorrect technique and mistakes on the field and at bat are pointed out and worked on. Old habits die hard, but Austin believes the willingness to change is one thing that has brought her team a long way since last year.

“We point out the little things, because when you change the little things and correct them, you are also correcting a bigger problem,” said Austin. “We might not be to the point that we’re teaching righthanded hitting and other specifics, but we’re getting there. We’re still growing and I can see a change in the returners from last year.”

As they grow, the softball team is also overcoming hurdles. Without a feeder program in the middle school, a lot of the young team members have

limited experience. In the south, softball is a heavilyoccupied sport. For teenage girls in the United States, it is a competitive activity, full of year-round travel leagues, all-star teams and university clinics. However, the constant movement of military life makes it difficult to join a travel team or stay in one place long enough to ease into becoming a team. To compensate, the LHS Devil Pups’ softball team adheres to a strict time management schedule on the field.

“We have a saying that if you’re on time, you’re late,” said Austin. “We keep them busy on the field and we hold them accountable. They are going full speed every minute they are on the field at practice.”

To stay competitive against other local high schools, the Devil Pups have spent a lot of time becoming a unified team.

Austin said she has seen her seniors step up, take charge and lead their teammates on the field.

“They might not spend every second together off the field, but on the field, they are clicking as a team and I’m really proud of them for that,” said Austin.

“They’re really starting to show that they are confident – they are asking questions and fixing things on their own.”

After completing their first three games of the season, the LHS softball team has started to work on correcting game errors.

A “really good” game against James Keenan made Austin proud, as did the way her athletes carried themselves in other lessthan-ideal game conditions.

“A few nights ago, we had a really rough game, but I am so proud of the way they handled it,” explained Austin. “It’s not always easy, but they really held their heads up and finished out the game against Northside. It takes time to build a team and it’s not going to happen overnight, but they are really working hard.

“We’re still emerging,” added Austin. “I think in the next couple of years, we’ll really start to step up and be a competitive force in our conference. We’re still growing right now.”

Seizing opportunity for second chance

Lejeune Bulldogs football team regroups for new season JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

It takes commitment, dedication and sacrifice to be an athlete. Athletes forego time they could spend with their families and friends to pursue their passions on the field, court and ring.

Dedication is something the Lejeune Bulldogs football team understands all too well. A semiprofessional football team aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the Bulldogs are young, but powerfully determined to stand out.

The Bulldogs have already been making waves in their first two seasons as a team. They made it to the playoffs last year and weathered a hurricane to participate in a playoff game in Asheville, N.C. The team has former athletes who have gone on to compete in college level football programs at reputable universities across the United States.

For some members of the Lejeune Bulldogs, the football team offers them a chance they thought they said goodbye to in high school.

“This team has given me a second chance to play,” explained Cpl. Terry Alexander. “I didn’t think I would play again and I finally saw my second chance in the Marine Corps.”

Alexander, alongside Cpl. Nathan Sinn and Sgt. Nicholas Jones, has been playing with the Bulldogs since the team began.

Alexander, Sinn and Jones have experienced firsthand the dedication it takes to play well while holding down a job that does not always leave much time for outside activities.

“We sacrifice to make it happen,” said Sinn. “I have a wife and a child

who I barely see during the season, but I love to play football and my wife knows that. I’ll do what I have to in order to make this happen.”

Sinn joked that he may have to bring his daughter to practice, but assured his teammates and coaches that he would be there, even if he had to set up “Bulldog daycare.”

Under the guidance of head coach Len Kuhn and assistant Mike Sanderford, the Lejeune Bulldogs are preparing for their first official season practice, Saturday.

“We are looking for guys who are willing to work hard and play hard,” said Kuhn. “We need people who are going to be dedicated to this program.”

His athletes echo their coach’s desire for players.

“We’re all in the Marine Corps,” said Jones. “We know that commitment and dedication to your job come first, but we expect there to be commitment to your team as well. If our guys can’t make practice, we understand, but the team needs to know.

“Practicing together is rare and it’s a really big deal for us to have time as a team,” continued Jones.

After their first practice, the Lejeune Bulldogs will run practices every Tuesday and Thursday until March 26.

On March 31, they will hold a combined practice, using and teaching the same skill sets used in the NFL. “Each athlete, whether he makes the team or not, will be given a form to keep track of,” said Kuhn.

“After we go through the combined practice, they’ll be able to see where they stack up. We’ll make cuts after that.”

During the practices they hold before they make

FISHING FROM 2B At the end of the day all the teams returned and weighed-in their catches. A total of 14 fish were caught and weighed-in totalling 29.6 pounds.

Prizes were paid to the four teams with the highest total of weighed fish.

The first place team caught three fish with a total weight of 5.24 pounds and won a $753 prize, second place team caught two fish with a total weight of 5.04 pounds and won a $565 prize, third place team caught one fish that weighed-in at 3.87 pounds and won a $376 prize and fourth place team caught two fish with a total weight of 3.85 pounds and won $188.

Teams could also pay $10 to compete for the largest bass and win $180, which was won with a fish that weighed 3.87 pounds.

The fishermen joked, shared tips and talked about where and how they caught their fish.

However, those who were short on luck and didn’t catch a single bass kept more to themselves.

“Bass fishing is an art,” said Brooks. “If anyone could do it, then everyone would be competing in tournaments.”

Upcoming tournaments are scheduled for May 3, Sept. 8 and Nov. 3. The rules and regulations are the same for all of the tournaments.

“I see a lot of familiar faces at our tournaments,” said Brooks. “If they didn’t love doing it, they wouldn’t come back. We’re happy to be able to hold the bass tournaments for the service members and (patrons), because it’s a way of giving back to them. Some of these young Marines didn’t even know that the base had a marina. I just hope that they hear about what we have to offer and join in our upcoming tournaments.”

Members of the Lejeune Bulldogs semi-pro football team gather at Stone Bay Fitness Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Monday. The Lejeune Bulldogs begin practice Saturday and has openings available for players interested in all positions. cuts and decide on a team roster, Kuhn, Sanderford and the current members of the Lejeune Bulldogs have specific ideas of what they expect to see from perspective members.

“We need you to play where you’re needed,” said Alexander. “Everyone wants to be a quarterback, but we need guys on the line and in every other position on the field.”

Players who are interested in being a part of the Lejeune Bulldogs team have the opportunity to be part of something bigger than themselves, as well as the opportunity to play in college.

“When I first started with the Bulldogs, I just wanted to play,” said Jones. “I had no intentions

of going to college. I knew coach (Kuhn) because his son had coached me in Buffalo. I started to realize maybe I could do something with this - maybe I can carry on and keep on competing in college. This was my ticket to play.”

Jones, who will be playing on the Erie Community College football team next fall, was not the only player to move into collegiate level football after spending some time with the Lejeune Bulldogs.

Ryan Holdaway will also be playing on the Erie Community College team, along with several other athletes from the Lejeune Bulldogs football team.

The only way they could get where they are headed, Holdaway and

Jones agreed, was with the help of their coaching staff.

“Without our coaches, we wouldn’t be where we are,” said Jones. “They put their lives in it and give us everything they’ve got.”

“We also have Antonio Warner cheering us on,” added Kuhn. “He takes on a lot for these guys and is the real reason they can do it. (Warner) bleeds Bulldogs for us and he makes sure we have everything we need to do the best we can.”

Due to the renovations at Goettge Memorial Field House, the Lejeune Bulldogs have scheduled their first two games of the season away.

The Bulldogs will start their season with an ex-

hibition game against the High Point Ravens, who were the Alliance Football League champions last year. They will play their first league game June 9 and hold their first home game aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, June 16.

“I would love to look out and see the stands full at all of our games,” said Sanderford. “I’d like to see the community learn that we have a team and come out to support them. And, hey, if we can get some tailgating going on before a home game, that would be great. We just want your support.”

A player for the MARSOC HQ team defies gravity while keeping the ball away from his rivals, 2nd Medical Battalion, during a game aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River, March 1.

MARSOC HQ won the game 44 to 49 in the last 30 seconds.

GAME FROM 1B ran up and down the court.

“Our defense was aggressive and our trapping scheme worked really well,” said MARSOC assistant coach Adrian Williams. “When (2nd Medical Battalion) started to notice, we readjusted to a different zone and then went back to our original scheme when they started to cycle in new players.”

Regardless of which team won the game, though, Warner said he was pleased with the positive things he saw in both teams during the game.

“What I like about the parody of this league is that the teams are very well balanced,” explained Warner.

“I feel like on any given day, every single team in this league has the ability to beat any other team in the league. They are evenly stacked and lend stability.

Most of the games are very competitive and I don’t recall many blowouts.

“Just like Thursday’s game, the score does not always reflect the capability of the team,” continued Warner. “Each team has the ability to win each game.

I think through a little more perseverance and by listening to coaches and teammates, every team can overcome their losses.”

Both teams exemplified Warner’s belief in the importance of listening to teammates and coaches as they stampeded up and down the court, consistently matching each other’s points.

Even though MARSOC HQ held a steady lead throughout the game, 2nd Medical Battalion refused to throw in the towel. With their coaches calling out plays and directing players from the sidelines, both

teams fought as hard as they could until the buzzer sounded.

“In the end, it was a close game,” said Williams.

“When we started out, I felt good about the energy we had on the floor, but I knew it was going to be a good game because (2nd Medical Battalion) can score points really quickly. They are a dangerous team.

“Our guys were hitting a lot of good shots,” continued Williams. “That really helped us on offense, but it is defense that makes the game and that is what we will be working on now.”

When facing such a formidable opponent, Williams said he and his teammates seize the opportunity to learn how to better their team.

“We need to protect the ball and rotate our backside a little more,” said Williams. “I’d like to see us speed up our rotations and jump shooters. I mean, you’re not going to make all your shots, but it would be nice if you did. We’re also going to work a little on defense.”

Despite their win, Thursday, the MARSOC basketball team is not getting cocky.

As soon as the game was over, it was back to the court for the team to learn from their mistakes and make sure they don’t happen again.

“We’ve still got some season left and with every game, we look at how we played and make sure we can fix the mistakes we made,” said Williams.

Paxton, Jr., (center), commanding general, II Marine Expeditionary Force, and commanders from various units based around Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, gather to donate to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, March 1. The leaders came together to inspire their Marines and sailors to join them in giving back to an organization which in the last year alone provided more than $2.7 million dollars in loans to Marines and sailors aboard Camp Lejeune.

II Marine Expeditionary Force

Senior Marine Corps and Navy leadership aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., sat down together, Thursday, March 1, to donate money to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.

Those included were the commanding generals of II Marine Expeditionary Force, 2nd Marine Division and II Marine Logistics Group, as well as various units’ commanding officers, command master chiefs and sergeants major.

The purpose of senior leadership coming together to donate was to inspire their Marines and sailors to give back to the organization that provides interest free loans to service members in the naval services aboard Camp Lejeune, as well as other ser-

vices such as financial management classes, explained Maj. Marty Messer, who assisted in coordinating the event and is the assistant strategic mobility officer with 2nd MLG. The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, which was started in 1904 by a group of 19 volunteers as a way to help the indigent mothers and widows of Navy and Marine Corps personnel, works to provide, in partnership with the Navy and Marine Corps, educational, financial and other assistance to members of the naval services, active duty or retired, their eligible family members, or survivors, when in need, and to receive and manage funds to administer these programs, said Gini Schopfel, the director of Camp Lejeune’s NMCRS. With no government funding given to the organization, they run sole-

ly on the generous donations given to them and throughout the month of March they are accepting donations.

“In 2011, of the 42,000 active duty stationed at Camp Lejeune only 4,800 donated during the active duty fund drive,” explained Schopfel. “The goal of this year’s campaign is not only to exceed the $217,000 raised in 2011 but to educate all Marines and sailors and to encourage more individuals to donate when they are aware of the good works of the society right here at Camp Lejeune where (more than) 7,400 clients received in excess of $2,732,000 in direct financial assistance in the form of interest-free loans and outright grants.”

For more information on donating to this year’s campaign, contact Steven Rhoades at steven. rhoades@usmc.mil.

Since the founding of the American Red Cross in 1881 by Clara Barton, known to many as the ‘Angel of the Battlefield’, the organization has played an important role during humanitarian crises and in support of the military.

For more than 100 years, the American Red Cross has been on the front lines, whether in Haiti, New Orleans, Iraq and even Missouri where volunteers are currently helping tornado victims. Now, in recognition of their hard work, March has been declared American Red Cross Month.

Aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the American Red Cross’ influence and work has helped support the military’s mission, abroad and stateside for the past 68 years.

“Our top mission aboard the base is to provide our service to service members,” said Elizabeth Schirk, the senior station manager for the American Red Cross aboard the base. “We also provide for health and safety, disaster relief, blood and tissue collections and international social services.”

The American Red Cross offers classes on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, babysitting, lifeguarding, wilderness safety and pregnancy.

For disaster relief, the organization helps victims get back on their feet, opens shelters and provides food and clothing.

“We also help victims get in touch with their families and host a ‘safe-and-well’ website so their families can see if a loved one is OK following a disaster,” said Schirk. “Disaster relief for us can be anything from a house fire to flooding and other natural disasters.”

Through the American Red Cross blood and tissue program, they are able to collect blood and tissue is be used by service members and victims of disasters.

The final mission is to support the International Red Cross, a neutral organization that can act as a mediator for warring countries and visits to prisoners of war.

For the American Red Cross located aboard the base, the main mission is focused around service members.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATES

New waterlines to draw raw water for potable use PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune started a new waterline project recently that will utilize three raw water production wells to draw water from the Verona Loop and K-range area and transfer it to the existing water treatment system at Hospital Point.

“The purpose of the project is to provide potable water for the growth of the base,” said Cmdr. Marc Delao, officer in charge of construction with MCB Camp Lejeune, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Marine Corps Installations East.

Drilling at Hospital Point is scheduled to begin March 19, and contractors will be working

from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Due to construction, the Marine Corps Community Services’ recreational area at that location will be closed from March 19 through 30.

Another impact includes some noise caused by the drilling. Patrons who live in the Hospital Point housing area, within a 1,000-meter range of the construction will hear sounds measured at 45 decibels. Within a 250-meter range the sound is measured at 57 dB. “It’s not going to be a lot of noise,” said Delao. “Most people won’t even hear it unless they step outside. A normal conversation is measured between 60 to 70 decibels.”

There will be no impacts on water service. According to base officials, the project is scheduled to be complete in May.

Brewster Boulevard lane widening nears completion PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Patrons coming aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune are used to traffic and fight to enter the base in the morning and exit it the evening.

Thousands of commuting patrons, single-lane roads and a limited number of gates play a part in that congestion.

To help improve the flow of traffic, base officials in charge of construction on MCB Camp Lejeune are working on widening Brewster Boulevard between Holcomb Boulevard and Charles Street. The road will change from a two-lane undivided road to a four-lane divided road.

Base officials have been working on the project for more than a year, relocating power poles, road crossings and drainage pipes. Completion of the roadwork is scheduled for late spring, according to Cmdr. Marc Delao, officer in charge of construction with MCB Camp Lejeune, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Marine Corps Installations East.

Since the start of construction, jogging trails along Brewster Boulevard have been closed. Base

officials ask patrons to remain off of the trails until construction is complete and the trails have re-opened.

“There is an existing jogging trail that has been shut down to both joggers and (cyclists) because it is a safety concern,” said Delao. “But this project builds a new and improved trail that they can look forward to using.”

The roadwork on Brewster Boulevard will facilitate a larger project which is the construction of a new gate off of Highway 24, near MCB Camp Lejeune’s Tarawa Terrace housing area. The new gate will have a road that runs up to the Wallace Creek area which will intersect with Brewster Boulevard.

“It’s a very detailed project,” said Delao. “We have a series of drainage pipes that go under the existing lanes. To (install) those, we have to reduce (Brewster Boulevard) to one lane. That work is currently being done.”

Base officials stated that completion of the project will play a part in alleviating congested traffic, and it will improve more after the completion of the bridge and gate from Tarawa Terrace housing area.

MCB Camp Lejeune approaches turkey season LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

April means turkey season, and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has a promising harvest for those hoping to bag a turkey this year. But before hunters grab their gun and hop into the bush, there are some things they can do to make this an easier, more successful harvest.

“Last season we had our best harvest of turkeys on board the base,” said Paul Boniface, the chief conservation law enforcement officer for MCB Camp Lejeune. “This year is looking just as promising because there are quite a few turkeys out in all the areas. It’s unusual to go out into an area and not see a turkey.”

But don’t load the shotgun just yet. Hunting aboard MCB Camp Lejeune requires an affiliation with the base. Active duty and retired service members and retired Department of Defense civilians as well as accompanied guests are allowed to partake in the plenty aboard the base. However, taking advantage of the natural resources requires registration.

The base encompasses approximately 153,000 acres of federal land, and approximately 95,000 acres are currently timbered. When the land is not taken up by training, it can be opened for hunting, trapping, fishing and wood cutting.

Turkey season kicks off April 14 and runs until May 12.

Youth day, which includes hunters between the ages of 13 and 15, is April 7. A youth must be accompanied by a prop-

erly licensed adult who is not armed for the hunt.

Taking care of the permits needed to hunt on MCB Camp Lejeune is the first step toward a productive hunt. Prospective hunters need to register with the Electronic Fish and Wildlife Conservation Tracking System and pass a hunting safety test.

“We want to make sure everyone makes it home safe.

That’s our biggest issue,” said Boniface. EFAWCTS helps authorities find lost hunters and make sure that areas are clear of hunters. Keep in mind, MCB Camp Lejeune is an active military base and many of the ranges are available for hunting when they are not in use.

EFAWCTS allows hunters to search for areas available for hunting and scouting on base, which they can then sign into online. Since hunters don’t have to report in to the warden prior to hitting the game trail, the system makes their outdoor adventure that much easier.

In order to hunt, scout or collect firewood aboard the base, hunters must use EFAWCTS. They need to create an account, update their profile with their hunting licenses and vehicle information, and pass the hunter safety test, said Boniface. The same is true for hunting at Marine Corps Air Station New River.

“The system makes it really easy for people. They can sign out at home, and they don’t have to come to the check station,” said Boniface. “If they harvest game, they have to go to a check station. But if they don’t, then they can just go

A worker aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune pushes cardboard into the recycling plant’s bailer.

The bailer aboard the base helps speed the process of packaging recyclable material. The bailer is scheduled to be replaced with a more efficient one later this year.

Recycling facilities preserve resources, plan for Earth Day LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Recycling is more than environmentally friendly, it’s sound resource management. Managing resources is a must for military installations and with Earth Day approaching fast, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is hitting some impressive numbers thanks to recycling operations aboard the base.

“Based off the numbers from last year, we’re (recycling) about 350 tons of paper and cardboard per month,” said Clint Brown, a recycling specialist at MCB Camp Lejeune. The base’s recycling operations also handle plastics along with metals like copper, steel and aluminum, recycling around 3,240 tons of metal last year.

For all the success of 2011, recycling operations hold great promise for 2012.

The amount of solid waste sent to the landfills aboard MCB Camp Lejeune has de-

creased since 2009.

“One of the reasons we are here is to conserve what is valuable landfill space,” said Brown. “We try to extend the life of the landfill as long as possible. It’s easier to deal with the wastes on the front end, than with it later.”

While recycling operations aboard the base preserve the landfill space reserved for other materials, operations still have to deal with the fact that MCB Camp Lejeune is under a lot of construction. Yet even with the construction, recycling operations look to be meeting the challenge.

“Since 2009, it looks like we’ve dropped off considerably the amount of solid waste that has gone into the landfill,” said Brown. “In 2009, it was 46,105 tons put through the landfill, where last year our records were showing about 30,878 tons.”

The money generated by recyclable materials pays for the operations of the recycling program. Additional funds are then put back into the base and help finance

further pollution abatement and prevention efforts, stated Brown.

Earth Day 2012 kicks off April 22, and the base has several activities scheduled for the week leading up to the event. There will be an Earth Day Expo, with interactive displays covering everything from threatened species and cultural resources, to forest management and hazardous material turn in scheduled for April 18. Clean up projects will also target some of the base roads and waterways.

A “Clean Sweep” is scheduled for April 19, targeting Lyman Road. Additionally, the base has teamed up with the New River Water Way Stewards, White Oak River Keeper Alliance and the New River Foundation to coordinate the “Splash for Trash” project, which will allow volunteers to take the reins and clear some of the base waterways, April 20.

The winners of an art contest at Brewster Middle School and Camp Lejeune High School will also be an-

nounced at the expo.

The base theme for this year’s Earth Day is “partnering for a greener future,” said Brown. As April 22 approaches, the base community is encouraged to look after the resources and environment that make up the more than 150,000 acres of MCB Camp Lejeune.

Base recycling will continue to do the same, and operations will continue to improve with the installation of a new bailer, stated Brown. The bailer will make the processing of paper and cardboard more efficient.

The recycling operations on base look after the future of base resources, diverting material from the landfills and turning them to other uses. The Department of Defense goal is to divert 50 percent of solid waste by 2015. “Even if we are meeting our goals, we’re always looking to increase (diversion),” said Brown.

SES’s 911 dispatchers: “Just doing our job” CPL. DAMANY S. COLEMAN

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

When something goes wrong, whether it be a fire, burglary, domestic violence or a traffic accident, the first thing a person should do is dial 911. For most people, simply dialing those three numbers is the extent of their worry and then everything else is taken care of.

People often forget that when making these calls, their plea for help is always answered by that mystery person on the other end of the line: a 911 dispatcher.

After receiving a call about a troubled man with homicidal thoughts, two 911 dispatchers with Security and Emergency Services, aboard Marine Corps Installations East, used their focus and training to bring yet another frightful situation to a happy conclusion.

Both Retired Petty Officer 1st Class Karon Carswel, who has been with MCIEAST for three years, and Amanda Scott, who has been a dispatcher for two years now, recently received Letters of Appreciation from SES, in recognition of their actions.

“This is a very important job you have but you don’t get a lot of thanks for it,” said Col. Rich Anderson, assistant chief of staff of SES, MCIEAST. “This letter is in recognition of the call that you took on the 17th of February.

The incident went from being a homicidal subject at large, to a subject being identified, located and detained within a period of 15 minutes.”

Anderson added that their efforts in searching for the additional information using the Consolidated Law Enforcement Center and Defense Critical Infrastructure databases, as well as the internal teamwork that they displayed, led to the close of the incident in an expeditious and safe manner.

Anderson said enthusiasm and attention to duty, specifically shown by Carol, Amanda and all other dispatchers on a daily basis, is always a significant asset to the mission of SES. “The man was having homicidal and suicidal ideations,” said Carswel, who has been with MCIEAST for three years. “He specifically said he wanted to shoot one of his co-workers in the head and the stomach. He also said he had hidden weapons. He called (Military OneSource), who called us. Amanda then asked all the right questions we needed to ask.”

Social networking online isn’t the flu, but Americans have certainly caught the bug for it. Marines and their families are not immune to the outbreak, and the need for information security poses unique challenges as they balance the responsibilities of military service with highspeed social scenes.

Luckily, family readiness officers and resources offered on the ever expanding eMARINE website stand poised to help maintain the shield of security as Marines and their families stay connected. Taking some simple precautions online and staying in contact with the FRO are two ways Marines can mitigate security risks in the online world.

Family readiness officers are the direct link between families, Marines and the unit commands, said Kara Collins, the FRO for the 2nd Dental Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Collins’ work as a FRO has revealed some of the troubles families encounter on social networking sites.

The social networking sites families use are not secure, and other people have access to what they say, said Collins. “People will post the most mundane information, and they just don’t see the ramification. It’s just like saying, ‘I left the key under the mat.’”

Publicizing information about a Marine’s whereabouts and activities places the Marine at risk and exposes the family to people with nefarious intentions.

Collins deals with family members that are harassed by bogus phone calls or feel their security is compromised because of information that malicious people have gathered about the family.

“This parent or this wife is totally panicked because somebody has realized that their (Marine) is deployed and found out exactly what unit they’re with,” said Collins. “That happens entirely too often with families posting things that they should not be posting on public websites.”

It’s a situation that families can readily guard against.

Staying in touch with the FRO and taking the time to understand their units procedures for passing on information is key, said Lisa Castleberry, the FRO for the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit command element aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. The more family members know the better they will be able to deal with a breach of their personal information and prevent people from manipulating them.

Keeping private information from going public is essential to personal security. The eMARINE website, which is nearing 100,000 subscribers in less than one year, offers secure forums for families to communicate with units, even when they are on deployment.

“We are actually putting together a deployment page,” said Castleberry. “This is where we are going to direct our families to come and get the latest information about what is going on with the deployment.”

The FRO can act as a moderator on eMARINE for families when units deploy and when they are home, noted Castleberry. The website is flexible, and families can contact their FRO if they want to see something put up for the unit.

It’s also an easy way for families to get reliable, updated information and offers solutions to some of the hazards of social networking sites. The website is secure, said Castleberry, and not open for everyone to see. Family members and Marines need to register ahead of time, and they are connected to their particular unit’s section on eMARINE. The website also offers links to other military related resources like MyPay, TriCare and the Single Marine Program. It has options to create photo galleries and conduct forum based discussions. The eMARINE site even has an operational security guide for family members who aren’t sure what information needs to be protected.

“It’s very much a one-stop-shop for a lot of families,” said Collins. “We’re hoping that they will catch on and realize what a fabulous tool this is.”

Security and Emergency Services dispatcher Cheryl Ripley, who has served as a dispatcher for more than 20 years, records information from an emergency call in the ‘911 Room,’ recently.

Carswel said they aided him as much as they could, and with the information he gave them, authorities were able to track him down and pull him over in the vehicle found registered in his name.

“It was just another call,” said Scott.

“We’re used to it, and that’s what we’re here for. It’s nothing out of the ordinary to me.”

Dispatchers go through a series of training courses every year just to keep current and efficient in receiving and transmitting brief and reliable messages. This includes tracking vehicles and equipment, and recording other important information pertaining to the particular 911 call.

Recently, Sheryl Ripley, another 911 dispatcher, said the key to her job sometimes is just remaining calm and getting people help as fast as possible.

“It can be busy one moment and quiet the next and you never know what to expect,” said Ripley. “We get a lot of people driving drunk, especially on the weekends. Then, when they get out of jail, they realize that their vehicles, barracks room or homes have been broke into. Fridays and Saturdays are usually the busiest nights. We also deal with domestic violence, fights and noise complaints about parties and music.”

Ripley said one of her most memorable calls was about a two month old who wasn’t breathing very well one night.

The father was busy tending to the child, while the mother was on the phone with Ripley, doing her best to relay messages

back and forth between the two.

“I told her to make sure her husband was listening to everything I said because we wanted to take care of the child,” said Ripley. “I told her to make sure the child’s airway was open and that we already had military police, fireman and emergency medical services en route.”

Ripley said being a dispatcher is always a team effort. When one dispatcher receives a call, others make calls in support of that one just to minimize the amount of time in between first contact and getting the caller aid.

“We usually don’t get a (follow-up) disposition but we’re always happy to hear people are doing well after the call,” said Ripley. “Every other routine call, we don’t find out the outcome unless its bad news and someone didn’t make it. We try to make up our own endings. In this case, everything went right and it was nice to know we were appreciated.”

Ripley said she’s served as a dispatcher for 22 years and prior to working aboard the base, she served with the Department of Defense and San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

“I like helping people, I like the adrenaline rushes you get when it’s a hot call,” said Ripley. “We don’t always feel the love from the people we help, just like nurses, doctors, police augments and other after-hour professions. These are services that we have to perform, no matter what, rain or shine, we have to be here.”

TURKEYS FROM 1C and the second offense bumps that number up to seven days. On the third offense, hunters can face a court date.

Any area with a hunter still signed out cannot be used for training, and an officer will be sent to locate the hunter if he cannot be reached by phone.

A state hunting license is also required. Once hunters have their state license, they need to go to the Marine Corps Exchange Annex and purchase a permit to hunt on base. Those who have not taken a hunter safety course will need to take the course prior to registration, though courses from other states are accepted. Hunter safety courses are available on base and out in town, said Boniface, so hunters can fulfill the requirements to hunt on base well before turkey season kicks off.

Sound like a lot to remember? There are websites to help would be hunters. www.lejeune.usmc.mil/gwarden has a wealth of information for hunters trying to get in on the harvest at MCB Camp Lejeune, including important contact information for questions and safety, and ncwildlife.org has even more information for hunters around the state.

Once the registration is complete, the real work begins.

Turkey season is for sporting hunters with patience, but that doesn’t mean they get to rest on their laurels. Turkey hunting takes a lot of technique, said Boniface.

“It’s a lot of fun, that’s the best way I can put it,” said Boniface. “It’s relaxing because you’re outside, you’re in the outdoors and you’re trying to draw that bird in to harvest him.”

But building a tool chest of techniques and making sure you know which fowl are fair play requires practice and attention to detail.

Hunters can use shotguns, muzzle loaders and archery equipment to hunt turkey on MCB Camp Lejeune. Manual bird calls and decoys are also allowed aboard the base, but electronic calls are not permitted. It is an unfair advantage over the birds, said Boniface.

Finally, when hunters cash in on MCB Camp Lejeune’s plenty and find a fowl in their sights, they need to call 1-800-I-GOT-ONE, write the harvest number on their big-game tag and then take the prize to the game warden’s check station at PT-4 on Parachute Tower Road or VL-1 on Verona Loop Road.

MARCH 8, 2012

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. MONTH FROM 1C With a 24–hour phone number, the organization can get in contact with a service member or their family, even if they are deployed.

“If a close relative is injured and in the hospital, we can get in contact with a service member’s command and, if recommended by a doctor, the command can grant the service member emergency leave,” said Schirk.

“We’re also mobile and can help serve on deployments as well. I can remember sleeping on cots and having a hole in our wall, courtesy of the U.S. Air Force.”

One of Barton’s famous quotes, “I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them,” can still be seen in the American Red Cross workers, many of which deploy alongside military units to provide comfort, reassurance and, if an emergency arises at home, provide assistance in the form of emergency leave.

“We were one of the few civilians on the ground when the Iraq invasion began, I was never afraid though, because I had the best military in the world and they would take care of me just like I took care of them,” said Schirk. “Once I returned to the states, we started working with the families, we were out there with their families and understood the issues they faced.”

The American Red Cross currently has three offices located in the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, building 121E across from the Harriotte B. Smith Library, and a third branch office located on Marine Corps Air New River.

Each location has several volunteers who can help as filers, bookkeepers, lab assistants, teachers, and book cart attendants in the hospital. The American Red Cross even has a dentist who assists naval personnel.

“A majority of our work is done by volunteers,” said Schirk. “We have probably 100 volunteers right now, but are always looking for more. Without them, the American Red Cross would not be able to function. They’re a very important part of the organization.”

Some volunteers make a career out of it, like Schirk, who has served more than 40 years. Others do it to get out of their homes and contribute to the community, like Melanie Harris, a radiologic technologist volunteer at the hospital who volunteers through the American Red Cross to keep up with her skills and learn while waiting for a job to open up.

“I’ve been here since December,” said Harris. “I love it, and truly enjoy being here.

As soon as I came in, they treated me like part of the team. I’m still learning and I think it’s a great way for people in my position who are awaiting for a job opening to stay involved in their fields.”

Another volunteer, Leah Puy, works clerical tasks in the naval hospital and said she’s been working since last May and wherever her husband gets orders, she plans to find an American Red Cross and continue volunteering.

Camp Lejeune,

here’s no doubt to behold when the story is told of how Dr. Seuss turned 108 years old. The parties were epic, and wouldn’t you know, the love for his books continues to grow.

Children around the country celebrated the birthday of their beloved author last week, and the military kids from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune were no exception.

Primary and elementary school students aboard base were treated to a week full of festivities, which included readings of some of Seuss’ books by Col. Daniel J. Lecce, base commanding officer, and Julie Fulton, base school liaison officer.

However, the school events were only the beginning, leading up to the big birthday bash at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, Friday.

“There are great writers, but there’s no one doing what he did,” stated Judy Bradford, library branch manager. “The quality of his work and what he’s done for literature is amazing.”

Gathering outside at the library’s new pavilion, several families played games before the arrival of the special guest, the iconic Cat in the Hat, brought to life by Lori Bradford, a librarian aid at the library aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River.

Children seemed star-struck at the site of the famous character and sat quietly as Fran Bing, youth services technician, and Jana Guitar, library programs director, read their favorite Seuss stories.

“Some authors are immortal in their effects on children,” said Guitar. “(Seuss has) had a long-reaching effect.”

Although Seuss, born Theodor Seuss Geisel, and his wife never had any children of their own, he seemed to understand his target audience, reaching into their imaginations and bringing to life fantastic worlds and characters and subsequently creating 46 children’s books, among many other writings.

“You make ’em, I amuse ’em,” he once said.

The event was the first held in the library’s new outdoor pavilion and Bradford SEE SEUSS 4D

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

Radcliffe wrestles ‘Woman in Black’ in supernatural suspense Now playing at Camp Lejeune “THE WOMAN IN BLACK” (PG-13) “The Woman in Black” is a horror thriller about a vengeful ghost of a scorned woman who is terrorizing the locals.

The story unfolds in a spooky Victorian mansion near the moors of northern England.

Daniel Radcliffe (“Harry Potter” series) stars as Arthur Kipps, a young widowed lawyer and single father, whose grief has put his career in jeopardy.

Kipps has to leave his son while being sent to a remote village to sort out the legal affairs of a recently deceased eccentric.

Upon his arrival in this remote setting, it soon becomes clear to him that everyone in the town is keeping a terrible deadly secret.

But even as the locals try to hide the town’s tragic history from Kipps, he soon finds out that his client’s house is haunted.

There seems to be a ghost of a woman who is determined to find someone and something she lost; and until she can find this, no one, not even the children, are safe from her vengeance.

Sophie Stucky plays Stella Kipps.

Ciaran Hinds (“The Debt,” “The Rite”) portrays Sam Daily, a local landowner, and Janet McTeer (“Albert Nobbs,” “Songcatcher”) plays his wife, the mad Mrs. Daily.

Liz White can be seen as Jennet Humfrye, a

woman who returned after death as a menacing specter known as the woman in black.

Misha Handley, Radcliffe’s real-life godson, plays Joseph, his onscreen son.

Director James Watkins (“Eden Lake”) took this tale from a 1983 novel by the same name written by Susan Hill.

“The Woman in Black” is a dark, moody, supernatural and old-fashioned suspense thriller that has its share of harrowing moments, as the widower tangles with a mysterious and vengeful female specter and weird children.

Now playing in Jacksonville “DR. SEUSS’ THE LORAX (PG) The imagination comes to life with “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax,” in splendid 3-D with this computergenerized adaptation of the classic environmental fable of a forest guardian who shares the enduring power of hope.

The animated adventure follows the journey of a 12-year-old boy in love and a grumpy, orange-colored, yellow-mustached Lorax creature who wants to save the trees.

As the boy searches for a real Truffula Tree, the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams, he must find the story of the Lorax, the acerbic yet charming character who fights to protect his world.

Children parade through Tarawa Terrace for Read Across America

LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Led by some of Dr. Seuss’ most prominent characters, lines of children strolled through the streets around Tarawa Terrace II’s Elementary School leaving behind their desks and classrooms to celebrate Read Across America, Feb. 28.

Read Across America is an annual nation-

wide event created by the National Education Association and celebrated during the school’s annual character parade.

When some think about reading they think of dusty tomes in dimly lit old-fashioned rooms, for students at TTII Elementary School, reading becomes something more – an adventure that gives the children a sense of what reading can bring them: fun, excitement, and new

worlds to explore.

The children donned colorful costumes through the march and called out chants from their favorite books.

They dressed as characters such as Lulu from David Soman and Jacky Davis’ “Ladybug Girl,” a picture book where a young girl is told she is too young to play with her older brother and finds her own adventures as Ladybug Girl. Another child was dressed as a dancing dinosaur from

“Dancing Dino’s go to School,” in which dinosaurs bring musical mayhem to a school classroom. “(The parade) makes books real to them,” said Carol Dula, an information specialist with Tarawa Terrace II Elementary School.

“They become part of the story.”

Read Across America is an annual nationwide event that began in 1997. It was created by a group from the NEA who decided to

create a day to celebrate reading after noting that there are events such as pep rallies to build excitement for football, but none for reading, according to the NEA website.

The event is celebrated yearly on or around Dr. Seuss’ birthday due to his contributions to children’s literacy. Dr. Seuss, a beloved author who wrote 46 books, is the pen name of Theodor Seuss Geisel.

In 1954 Geisel’s publisher read an article

in Life magazine about illiteracy among children. It suggested that the problem stemmed from the lack of interesting material available for them to read.

The publisher then asked Geisel to write a book using words from a list of words that the publisher felt were important for children to learn. Geisel wrote “The Cat in the Hat” which brought instant success and began a long running trend of SEE PARADE 7D

Noah and Kristie Pettis share a love of Dr. Seuss as they color at the author’s birthday bash at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Friday.

SEUSS FROM 1D couldn’t have been more pleased with the commemoration.

“We’ve been hoping for a long time to have something outside where we can read and play,” she noted. “Thanks to Col. Lecce and his staff, we have this beautiful pavilion. We’re so thankful.”

Bradford also announced that the pavilion, which can comfortably hold more than 100 people, is available for future group events.

The party guests, some of whom were dressed as their favorite Seuss characters, enjoyed birthday cake decorated like the cover of the book “Oh the Places You’ll Go,” and parents paid witness to the next generation discovering the joys of the silly scribe.

“It’s good to celebrate Dr. Seuss,” said Jennifer Neason, a military spouse and parent. “It keeps kids interested with literacy and reading.

“We grew up with (these stories), and it’s nice to see the kids reading them too. They don’t have books like that anymore.”

The party moved inside after the cake cutting, and the revelers of all ages were invited to make Seuss-themed crafts.

Noah Pettis, a military child, hasn’t been reading long, but his devotion to Dr. Seuss stories is deep.

“I love all of them,” he said simply while coloring a picture of the Lorax, a well-known character. “I just love them.”

Pettis’ mother, Kristie, credits his love for the books as an overflow of

“I loved them (when I was a kid), and I’m so happy he does too,” she explained. “I started reading ‘The Cat in the Hat’ before he even knew what was going on. Now, he picks them out by himself.”

Guitar recognized that when a parent reads something to their child that they like themselves, the impact is great.

“The parents are reading to their children, and the children love it,” she said. “It’s something we really encourage.”

She also added that every book by Dr. Seuss was checked out last week, adding to the growing emphasis on parents reading to their children at home.

Although Dr. Seuss’ typical audiences are under four feet tall, many adults, when looking back, find his stories full of wisdom and encouragement that can be applied to even the most-grown up grown up.

“Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living,” Seuss teaches. “It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”

The military lifestyle doesn’t allow for a break from reality, but sometimes a vacation into the realms of fiction can bring a welcome respite.

So whether you’re a Thing One or Thing Two, or you live upon Mt. Strookoo Cuckoo, if you love the Sneeches, Grinches and Zalls, tip your hat to the man who created them all.

Dance students step out of comfort zone into ballroom AMY BINKLEY

Assistant managing editor

The drama of dancing is subtly obvious.

A man catches the eye of a woman across the room, and with a slight nod of his head, he bids her to the dance floor.

As they form their frames, hand in hand, and glide to the rhythm of the music, their silent conversation speaks of their admiration and exhortation of each other.

At the same time, dancing is both one of the most innocent and guilty pleasures in which two strangers can partake.

Curious couples spun circles and promenaded during the first of six ballroom classes at the Midway Park Community Center aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area, Saturday.

“Everyone learns at different speeds,” said Jessica Swope, instructor and military spouse. “It’s really easy, and you’re going to have a great time.”

Swope, who taught ballroom dance for four years in Atlanta, approached the staff

at MWPCC about offering lessons after attending a Zumba class and noticing the similarities between the exercise and dance moves.

“I was thoroughly interested in doing a class and teaching again,” she explained. “My entire family dances. I started walking in a rumba beat.”

Swope informed the class, including several Marines, how over the next six weeks she will be teaching the basics of six social dances – the rumba, foxtrot, waltz, swing, cha cha and tango.

She quickly taught the importance of maintaining the proper form, showing the men how to told hold their arms and the ladies how to position themselves within the created frame, and then began with a simple rumba.

The students had little problem catching on, and even after Swope had them change partners, they stayed focused on perfecting their steps.

“We’ve talked about doing (dance lessons) for the past five years,” noted Kim Deomerese, a military spouse. “We’re big SEE DANCE 7D

YOUR MILITARY SPOUSE! 5th Anniversar y

Some say the hardest job in the military belongs to the spouse.

Active duty spouses are the unsung heroes who maintain the home-front during lengthy deployments, selflessly give back to their communities and provide moral support for friends, family and their loved ones serving in harms way, at home and abroad. While service members are rewarded for superior job performance with medals, promotions and ceremonies,military spouses generally only receive a kiss and a “thank you” from their significant others.

PARADE FROM 3D interesting books for children.

“It’s important that (the children) gain an appreciation for literature,” said Dula. “They (need to) understand that books are for more than just homework. They open up the world for them.”

While the parade was not just for Dr. Suess’ works, many classes had themes revolving around his books, such as a group of children with fake mustaches and brown construction-paper hats dressed as Mr. Brown from Dr. Seuss’ “Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?” The kids held signs that showed pictures they drew, along with the item or animal’s sound. Another class dressed as a forest of Truffula trees from Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax.”

“Dressing in char-

acter gives the children the opportunity to be creative,” said Monica Ward, a teacher at the school. “They aren’t just dressed as what you see on the front cover of the book. (Their costumes) are things from the inside of the book, small details that some may miss.”

“The kids are learning that reading is much more than sitting in a classroom,” said Ward. “It lets them know that reading is a serious activity that can be fun. I think the kids see that there is excitement and joy to reading.”

The school also held a Read Across America Family Night, Friday, which included a reading theater and a reading rock-along.

New book club offers adults Chaplain’s Corner chance to read, socialize Truth can LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA

Reading opens astonishing worlds to book lovers everywhere.

With vibrant characters, compelling settings and intriguing plots, a book can leave readers with a million questions and lasting impressions to discuss.

Book lovers aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune will have the opportunity to explore the world of books with a new adult book club at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard the base. “(Book clubs are) like going with a friend to a coffee shop,” said Jana Guitar the programs supervisory library technician with the library. “You open (a book) up and you start talking about all kinds of stuff. You can talk about the subject matter or veer off topic and talk about life. It’s like sitting down with a bunch of friends and having a fun discussion.”

The book club, which will be named later by its members, will begin with the book “Minding Frankie” by Maeve Binchy.

“The story is set in a small close-knit community in Dublin, Ireland,” said Guitar. “A cast of delightful characters become involved with the job of taking care of a baby girl named Frankie. It is a story that deals with modern day, real-life issues, but presented in a humorous, heart-warming manner that inspires as well as entertains.”

The book is available through different mediums including free download for tablets such as the Kindle or Nook through the Navy General Library Program, which is available to Marines, sailors and their families on navy.lib.overdrive. com.

“Come with an open mind, a sense of adventure and ready for a lively discussion,” said Guitar.

While this book is a New York Times bestseller, book-club members will choose books of all types,

DANCE FROM 5D fans of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”

Victoria Braggiotti, recreation specialist at MWPCC, was surprised at the turnout for the first lesson but also recognized the growing interest in dance.

“It seems to be a dying art, not because of lack of people wanting to learn but because of lack of availability,” she said. “We’re already hoping to add advanced classes when this is done.”

Marines aren’t known for being light on their feet, but they can follow instructions, which proved useful on the floor.

“I love dancing, but I’ve never had any formal classes,” stated Lance Cpl. Cassio Borges, 8th Engineer Support

regardless of the genre or author’s popularity. There will be questions prepared to guide discussion, but the club focuses on maintaining a casual atmosphere.

“We’re open to reading anything anybody wants to read,” said Guitar. “Too often we get used to reading only what we like and we miss out on a lot of neat stuff. We really encourage people to branch out and see what’s out there.”

Guitar also mentioned that one need not complete the book to come.

While the ending will likely be discussed there will be plenty of topics that should not require a complete read-through of the story.

The club requires preregistration and is slated to take place on the second Monday of every month, except on holidays, at the Harriotte B. Smith Library. Refreshments will be available.

Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force. “It’s good exercise, helps with posture and actually helps show the role of a man as the leader.”

Borges’ dance partner, Tiffany Beasley, added how the class has allowed them to meet people and try something new.

“It takes you out of your comfort zone,” she said.

The class meets each Saturday from noon to 1 p.m. and costs $60 per couple, $35 for a single dancer and $25 for a child 12 years or older who is accompanying a paying parent.

change lives LT. DOYL MCMURRY

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Could you live one day in complete honesty? A week? A month? How about a year?

Humorist Phil Calloway made a commitment to live an entire year without lying. He even wrote a book about it entitled, “To Be Perfectly Honest: One Man’s Year of Almost Living Truthfully Could Change Your Life. No Lie.” It chronicles his lessons learned throughout that year.

Have you ever thought about how your life would be if you always told the truth? How would it change the way you are viewed by your fellow Marines and sailors? Your children? Your wife?

The truth has a way of changing those who are willing to encounter it. In 1997, Jim Carrey portrayed a lawyer who became unable to lie for 24 hours. The movie goes on to humorously depict his life from that day. He got in a lot of trouble because he was used to lying on a regular basis, but in the end, that one day of honesty changed his life.

The same can be true of any one of us.

Are we willing to live our lives honestly with everyone? This does not give us license to be cruel and tell people everything that is on our minds and what we think of them.

That is not truth, it’s opinion. But are we willing to speak truth with kindness and respect and to hear it in return?

John 18 tells of Jesus’ trial before Pilate.

Pilate asks Jesus questions and at one point Jesus answers and says in verse 37, “For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.”

To this Pilate replies, “What is truth?” and then he turned and walked away.

Let us not make the same mistake of asking the question, but of not waiting for the answer, because the truth can change your life.

Ephesians 4:14-15 says, “As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming, but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into him who is the head, even Christ.”

"You can never do enough for the military and their dependents."
