The Marines of Company I, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 6, maintain a great relationship with the locals in the village outside their patrol base near Sangin. They do this through daily security patrols throughout the area and by communicating with the people. “The big thing with today’s patrol was talking with the people about their farms and animals,” said Cpl. Jacob Marler, a squad leader in Company I. “We asked them about what they grow, what type of fertilizer they use, what their most important crops are, what their most important animals are and about how they get their water for their crops.” While Marler and part of his squad were talking to the villagers, half of the squad continued to patrol throughout the village. “We started going through the city looking for other possible crossing points or choke points to watch out for,” Cpl. Mark Yenalavitch said, an assistant patrol leader. We were basically surveying the area to get a better picture of the city.” Once the Marines were in the small village, they were greeted by dozens of children and a few adults. “We talk to the villagers daily,” said Marler. “The kids here always run up and talk to you. Most of the (improvised explosive device) finds we’ve had here are from the kids coming up and telling us about them.” According to the Marines, one of the biggest reasons their relationship is so strong with the locals is due to the diligence of the unit that came before them, 1st Battalion, 6th Marines. “1st Battalion, 6th Marines did a good job out here,” said Cpl. David MacKay Jr., a squad leader. “We had a good turnover with them. They had an outstanding relationship with the villagers and that did wonders for us out here.” The patrols the Marines conduct are usually accompanied by soldiers from the Afghan National Army as part of the turnover process from American to Afghan control. “You can see the transfer from the Marines to the ANA,” Marler said. “That’s definitely the most rewarding part of this deployment. They are definitely showing an improvement from when we first got here. They’re working harder, getting better and taking it more seriously. This shows that they’ll be able to handle things when we leave.”

Combat engineers improve ‘Old Silk Road’ MASTER GUNNERY SGT. PHIL MEHRINGER 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

early 150 Marines from 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)’s 9th Engineer Support Battalion converged in the open Helmand desert on a dry river bed known as a wadi. They needed to quickly build a land bridge through the wadi, rushing to complete the project before the seasonal, heavy monsoon rains began. The average rainfall for the month of January is more than 6 inches, while the month of June is typically measured at less than a quarter of an inch – more than a 2,300 percent increase in precipitation. The road, which is known as Route Red, lies on the western side of the Helmand River and is used to travel north and south from Gereshk to Musa Qalah. It is rumored to be part of the original Silk Road, connecting the East to the West centuries ago and is easily navigated 10 months out of the year with the exception of the rainy season. The rapid downpour of

rain and limited ability for the hardened, sun-baked Helmand desert to absorb the runoff creates flooding, forcing local civilians and military vehicles to use an alternate route adding at least 18 miles to their trip in either direction. Constructing a wadi crossing will save time, money and it is expected to facilitate commerce and traffic to the area. The road is likely to be paved in the near future. The construction project is huge, spanning 120 meters, said Staff Sgt. Aron Szekely, who arrived with his unit in late November. The scheduled 10-day build has the Marines working nearly around the clock, “but it looks like we might finish early,” said Szekely, who is a heavy equipment operator. It took several days to prepare a proper foundation on the river bed to ensure water would not cause erosion and circumvent the culverts, said Szekely, before the construction could really begin. There will be a “hellish flow of water four to six feet high” at times according to the locals, he added. There will be a total of 28 culverts, spaced equally apart, used for the road.

Five reinforced concrete pipes will be located closer to the ends, channeling the heavier volume of water, while 36-inch metal pipes make up the remaining culverts. With the foundation properly formed, the culverts were put in place and the construction site was a buzz of activity. Marines with shovels redirected debris near the sidewalls building up the shoulder of the road, while multiple pieces of heavy equipment moved back and forth from the rock pile. Dump trucks were loaded while steel rebar was welded to the outer ends of the culverts, preventing insurgents from placing mines or bombs in them. Once the culverts were aligned, they were covered with rock material from the wadi basin, estimated at nearly 100 dump truck loads. Gravel was placed on top of the culverts to make a rough road, which was compacted and crowned with a smooth surface. The difficulty in completing a job like this is the time constraint and the mere “amount of earthwork we have to do,” said Capt. Aaron Fischer, an engineering officer and site supervisor who said the mission could

not have been done without conducting daily logistics runs to Camp Leatherneck for miscellaneous equipment and supplies, which was located approximately 35 miles from the job site. In the last two months, Szekely said he’s worked on about 15 culvert projects, but they were smaller in scale consisting of only one or two pipes. A project this size has really tested the equipment and determined, “how much it can handle,” said Lance Cpl. Gordan Beier, a heavy equipment operator, who is currently on his second deployment to Afghanistan. The benefit of the wadi project has already reached the local community. When they first arrived to the build site, the Marines visited several residents in the area to ensure everyone knew what was happening, said Szekely. They all appreciated what was about to take place and one of the civilians said, “It will be much easier for me to get my family to town and to the hospital now.” In addition to benefitting local citizens, the road will also connect several of the outer patrol bases, providing coalition forces the freedom to navigate the area.

Marines with Military Police Detachment, Combat Logistics Battalion 24, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, process a simulated detainee with a Secure Electronic Enrollment Kit, Jan. 17.

Marines with 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Force Reconnaissance and security platoons, Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 24th MEU, executed a simulated night raid at a Virginia Beach police training facility, Jan.17. The raid was part of the 24th MEU’s Realistic Urban Training exercise that took place Jan. 5 through 20, which focused on conducting off-base missions near the towns of Farmville and Creeds to prepare for the various operations they may conduct while deployed. “An amphibious raid is one of the MEU mission essential tasks,” said Col. Jim Donnellan, Special Operations Training Group officer in charge. “(Col. Frank Donovan, 24th MEU commanding officer) elected to

take this target down with a raid force platoon element with a security element. Anytime you can get those guys to integrate on a mission is a great opportunity.” The Marines launched from Fort Pickett on an MV-22 Osprey and a CH-53 Super Stallion helicopter. The recon Marines inserted through the forest next to their objective to watch and wait for the raid to begin. By the time the security element arrived, recon was ready to roll onto the enemy. “It was kind of a large objective for such a small force, but they did well,” said Maj. Jeremy Dempsey, the officer in charge of SOTG’s Amphibious Raids Branch. While a whole BLT could take this objective, they would have a difficult time masking their approach. The Marines wanted this training opportunity to stress stealth and a rapid takedown, said Dempsey. SEE RAID 7A

BaseLegal Base Legal By M.S. Archer

New year comes with new laws New laws passed recently by the North Carolina General Assembly are effective this new year. Among such new laws are the following: -If you want to buy a cold medication or other over-the-counter drug containing pseudoephedrine, the purchase will be recorded in a national registry, in an effort to curb the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine. Pseudoephedrine is a key component in meth making. (House Bill 12, amending NC General Statute 90-113.52A) -A person convicted of drunk driving will be punished in accordance with level one sentencing guidelines if, at the time of the offense, a passenger was in the car who (1) was under the age of 18 years, (2) had the mental development of a child under the age of 18, or (3) had a physical disability preventing unaided exit from the vehicle. (S 241, amending NCGS 20-179c). Level one punishment includes a fine of up to $4,000 and two years imprisonment, with a mandatory minimum period of imprisonment of 30 days. -A proposed amendment to the North Carolina Constitution shall be submitted to all qualified voters. The amendment, if passed by the voters, would provide that marriage between a man and a woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in the state.

(S 514). North Carolina already has a Defense of Marriage Act (NCGS 51-1.2); the proposed amendment would elevate the principle to the level of state constitution. -S203, amending NCGS 49-14 and 110-132, establishes a procedure whereby persons can set aside paternity or child support orders upon proof that (1) such order was obtained through fraud, duress, mistake or excusable neglect or (2) genetic tests establish that the petitioner is not the father of the child. -The penalties against persons who intimidate, threaten or attempt to deter a witness, have been increased from punishment level class H to class G felony (S 268 amending NCGS 14-226a). -Newly added N.C. General Statute 15A-145.4 provides a procedure for first time offenders who were convicted in North Carolina of certain non-violent felonies to have their record expunged (S 397). The judge may order the conviction expunged if (1) the conviction occurred before the petitioner was 18 years old, (2) the petitioner was not previously been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor except for a traffic violation, (3) the conviction requested to be expunged is a non-violent felony as defined in the new statute, (4) at least four years have elapsed since the conviction or completion or the sentence

or probation, whichever is later, (5) the petitioner performed at least 100 hours of community service, (6) the petitioner was not subsequently convicted of any additional felony or misdemeanor other than a traffic violation, (7) there are no outstanding warrants or unsatisfied civil judgments, (8) the applicant has obtained a high school diploma graduation equivalency degree, or General Education Development degree and (9) the applicant has not previously had a conviction expunged. -The Military and Overseas Voter Act (H 514, NCGS 163-258 et seq) took effect this year, requiring the N.C. Board of Elections to establish an electronic transmission system to make voter registration applications and ballots available to covered North Carolina voters, including military service members serving overseas and their dependents. Overseas voters who choose to do so may still use the federal postcard application. -The police chief of a city with a population of more than 500,000 may enter into temporary agreements with out of state law enforcement agencies for assistance in enforcing North Carolina law at a national convention (S 600, enacting NCGS 160A-288.3). As many readers may know, the Democratic National Convention is scheduled to be held in Charlotte, N.C. this September.

The Battle Skills Training School offers this training exercise in order to prepare units for upcoming deployments. The class helps train Marines and sailors to be effective in convoy operations overseas where this knowledge can mean the difference between a successful and unsuccessful mission.

Engineers learn convoy leadership CPL. BRUNO J. BEGO 2nd Marine Logistics Group

Improvised explosive device-laden terrain presents an imminent threat to mission accomplishment, but more importantly, to the lives of service members serving throughout Afghanistan. Marines and sailors with 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, participated in the Convoy Leaders Course aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, from Jan. 10 through 14 to strengthen their awareness against these hidden dangers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our experience really carries a lot of weight toward what these (Marines and sailors) are learning in the classroom as well as in the field,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. Marcus D. Jeansonne, an instructor at Battle Skills Training

School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really try to instill situational awareness by providing real-life scenarios for everybody who completes the course.â&#x20AC;? The course is one week long and incorporates classroom activities with field exercises, which helps the students gain experience. During the course, students learn the ins and outs of running a convoy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can see how every single stage of a convoy works, from planning to executing and mission accomplishment,â&#x20AC;? Jeansonne added. Some of the practical application includes organization, how to employ every asset in the convoy, and mounted tactics. As usual, in a training exercise, experience plays an important role in the learning process, especially for those who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deployed, Jeansonne explained. He also mentioned

a lot of the participants in the course have deployment experience, and their knowledge enhanced the training evolution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for people with experience to participate and help others with less experience,â&#x20AC;? said Cpl. Dayron Gonzalez, an engineer equipment operator with 8th ESB, 2nd MLG and a student in the course, who has deployed to Afghanistan already. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can help make this training a little bit more realistic and make sure others with less experience are better prepared before they deploy.â&#x20AC;? The course is offered at the BSTS in order to prepare units for upcoming deployments. The class helps Marines and sailors ready themselves to operate during convoy operations overseas where this knowledge can mean the difference between life and death.

Every day, Marines use computers to send information, coordinate data for flights, order supplies and complete seemingly a million other tasks necessary to keep the Marine Corps functioning. The Marines who set-up the networks and service the computers are the data system specialists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These data guys have a critical job. They keep us talking through multiple nets, (Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network), (Secret Internet Protocol Router) and other networks,â&#x20AC;? Sgt. Maj. Jamie Deets said, Regimental Combat Team 6 sergeant major. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a force multiplier and are vital to success on the modern-day battlefield, where the flow of information is so important.â&#x20AC;? While deployed, these Marines rotate shifts on a 24-hour schedule in order to keep communications running smoothly for the regiment. While their skills are invaluable, many times user error is the key to fixing the trouble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the time the problems are simple things,â&#x20AC;? laughs Lance Cpl. Corey Jarvis, data system specialist, Regimental Combat Team 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people call us for help and we show up and find that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the power cord plugged in or even that they simply havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pushed down on the power button hard enough.â&#x20AC;? According to military.com, data network specialists are responsible for the installation, configuration and management of data network systems including MS Exchange, Defense Message Systems and other authorized systems. They also plan and execute the integra-

tion of multiple information systems in a network environment, evaluate and resolve customer information system problems, and ensure required hardware upgrades and repair to maintain mission capability. The Marines must complete a 14week school before reporting to their duty stations. The school is located at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif. The school used to be 10 months, but with advancements in technology and the diversifying of the military occupational specialty, the school found it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep pace. The preparation time was cut in order to send the Marines out into the field for more on-the-job training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is just so much that the Marines have to learn that it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done at the schoolhouse,â&#x20AC;? Staff Sgt. Stephen Dunmire said, the RCT-6 data chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The shop is split up into so many jobs. They could be working with servers, databases, networking, programming, trans mediums or security. They have to hit the ground running and learn to improvise.â&#x20AC;? Even though the communication Marines are hard at work after joining their units, constant advancements in both hardware technology and software programming make it impossible for any one Marine to know everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never learn everything about data â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it changes daily,â&#x20AC;? Sgt. Jared Self said, RCT-6 system specialist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if you stopped working and just studied day and night, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never learn it all.â&#x20AC;? With the hyper-speed of modern communications and the necessity of computers for completing the numerous duties needed to take care of Marines, most command staff agree that the data system Marines are an invaluable asset.

KAJAKI SOFLA, AFGHANISTAN

Hard-bitten 1/6 heads home after 3rd consecutive combat deployment CPL. JAMES CLARK

Regimental Combat Team 6

With three deployments in three years, the men of 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment were called upon to serve as the tip of the spear for large scale offensive operations across Afghanistan’s Helmand province. During months of heavy fighting in Garmsir, Afghanistan in 2008, the men of 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment put their moniker ‘1st Bn., 6th Marines Hard,’ to the test and came through the other side, battered, but unbroken. In 2009, during the helicopter-borne insertion into the Taliban-held city of Marjah, the Marines disembarked tilt-rotor aircraft as vibrantred tracer rounds zigzagged across the skyline. For weeks, they fought their way across muddy fields, amidst accurate small-arms and indirect fire, and for several months, waged a deliberate counterinsurgency campaign in order to garner local support for Afghan National Security and coalition forces.

We really have to trust what we’re hearing over the radio and go back to the basics,” said Turner, adding that each member of the unit, from the

top down, has been required to follow through with their assigned task, with minimal direction. Over the course of their last three deployments to Afghanistan, junior personnel within the battalion have taken on more and more responsibilities as their experience with both heavy combat and counterinsurgency doctrine deepens. “There is an enormous amount of experience our Marines have to offer in this type of environment,” said Sgt. Maj. Larry Harrington, battalion sergeant major, 1st Battalion, 6th Marines. “Small units thrive on the wisdom and knowledge of the experienced Marines within their unit. It is amazing the amount of trust we put into our young Marines. One second, they’re fighting

a four-man team of insurgents and then, within the next five minutes, they’re shaking hands with a town elder. They get it. Although times are not always easy, they get what is going on and what is required of them. I’m so very impressed with what they have accomplished over the last seven months.” After the heavy fighting of Operation Eastern Storm, the Marines of 1st Battalion, 6th Marines set about building rapport with the civilian populace, supporting Afghan National Security Forces, and establishing security across the area. This required the men on the ground to very quickly change their perspective and approach – forcing them to toe that line between peacekeeper and warrior. “They understand a negative action could result in a

We have made mistakes, but, in the process, we have learned from them and we continue to do the right thing to make a positive impact for our Marines and the local populace.” With the end of their deployment nearing, the Marines look down from their

Just a few months ago, an area riddled with improvised explosive devices and pockmarked with insurgent fighting positions now has schools being constructed, roads and irrigation canals being repaired, and a steady stream of traffic running along Route 611.

GASMIR DISTRICT, AFGHANISTAN

Marine infantrymen mentor Afghan police force in Garmsir CPL. REECE LODDER

Regimental Combat Team 5

When Marines with Company K, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, arrived in early November, they met an Afghan National Police force primed for development. Their Afghan National Army counterparts were proficient and ready for transition, but the ANP were ready to grow. Instead of simply replacing the police mentoring team of their predecessors — fellow Hawaii-based 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment — Company K’s infantrymen dispersed along an 80-kilometer stretch to partner with ANP at each of the district’s five police precincts. On their last deployment to Helmand province’s Nawa District in 2010, the Company K Marines had a combat-specific mission and their own battlespace. Now, they’re partnered solely with the ANP and spread throughout the area of operations of 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines’ four other companies. Captain Brian Blaine, the commanding officer of Company K, said the mentoring mission is atypical for a forward-deployed infantry company, but it remains a vital task as coalition forces near transition of lead security responsibility to Afghan forces in Garmsir. “We’re geographically preparing the battlespace for turn over, with the ANA in the periphery and the ANP within the population centers,” Blaine said. Since the ANA is proficient to the point that Marines are now just in an overwatch position, the goal is to function primarily as a quick reaction force on the outskirts of population centers, Blaine added. At the district police headquarters, Marine leaders work with district chief of police, Lt. Col. Abdul Ahad Masloom, to improve security operations and relationships with local government.

Simultaneously, the Marines are teaching the ANP how to better enforce the rule of law and protect the population inside their city centers. Four platoon commanders mentor ANP precinct commanders while their Marines and police work together, conducting vehicle checkpoints and security patrols. “We mentor them, train them and live with them,” said 1st Lt. Adam Staff, the second platoon commander of Company K. “We do everything together.” Prior to the Company K’s arrival, many of Garmsir’s ANP had not spent extensive time working with Marines, said Cpl. Brian Ortiz, a squad leader with second platoon, Company K. Though not police officers by trade, Ortiz and the Marines have devoted themselves to mentoring and training their counterparts. “We bring them on board with what we’re doing, explain the purpose and show them how to do it,” Ortiz said. “We explain that becoming a better police officer will improve their community. They’re motivated to do their job a lot more when we explain the reasoning behind what we’re teaching.” Ortiz said the Marine mentors teach the ANP how to use their weapons and present themselves as officers. They cover security patrols, teach the ANP how to brief patrol orders, coordinate patrol schedules and conduct the actual patrol missions. They reaffirm the importance of standing post on guard duty and the follow-up — relieving and replacing a fellow patrolman. “When the Afghan people see their ANP are able to uphold the law and provide them security, they’ll put their trust in them,” Ortiz said. Despite the challenge of growing a police force with limited logistical capabilities, Afghan and Marine forces are intent on further establishing the ANP in Garmsir. Police headquarters are being built in each

The partnered efforts are also successfully weeding out police corruption, supporting police growth and helping to further the education of patrolmen. New training academies are either in use or under construction in Lashkar Gah and two partnered positions in Garmsir — Forward Operating Base Delhi and Patrol Base Amir. Staff said the academies help increase the literacy of current ANP — a challenge throughout the district — and bring new patrolmen “to the fight.” “We’re working with teachers in each precinct to help both commanders and their patrolmen improve (their literacy),” Staff said. While the continued growth and increase in security is evident to the Marines from posi-

Swift, silent and deadly: 2nd Reconnaissance Marines take to the water LANCE CPL. JOSHUA J. HINES 2nd Marine Division

A team of Marines, donned in diving gear, sits on the edge of the pier. Feet dangling, they stare out into the murky water, safety checks done and masks strapped on, the Marines give the OK signal. With a forward roll and a splash, the dive begins. This was the scene as Marines with Company C, 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, took part in the two days of team dive training held aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently. The first day consisted of pool training to familiarize with the full-face mask communication system and combat diver’s vest, both of which have never been used by many of the 26 Marines who underwent the training. “You never want to use equipment without being confident and educated on how to use it first,” said Capt. Tommy Wallin, executive officer of Company C, 2nd Recon Bn., “which is why we conducted the pool training before using the equipment in an uncontrolled environment.” The Marines began the second day of training by pre-diving their diving rigs, set-

ting up the dive site and getting the boats in the water as well as doing their safety checks before moving to conduct the team dive. During this, the teams conducted two day dives and a night dive. Each of the three diving teams consisted of a five to six-man group. During each dive, the teams conducted a dog leg, which was essentially an underwater navigation exercise. The dog leg training required the Marines to travel underwater to four designated markers before returning to their beginning location. “Knowing the equipment is incredibly important,” said Wallin. “When you’re down there, your visibility is only about a foot, so you need to know where everything on your rig is at.” The team dive training was conducted in preparation of the upcoming amphibious training exercise “Bold Alligator 2012.” “They’re doing really great so far,” said Gunnery Sgt. Cory Paskvan, platoon sergeant with Force Reconnaissance Company, Recon Bn. “For some of them, this is their first time diving as a team, but they’re doing well and this is great training. It’s important for the reconnaissance Marines to get back to their amphibious roots.”

tion of overwatch, the development is also being noticed among the ANP ranks. Lieutenant Mohammad Dawood, the 2nd Precinct commander in the Garmsir ANP, partners with Staff at PB Amir Agha in Loya Darvishan. As a police veteran with experience battling the insurgency, he is highly regarded by ANP and the Marines as being well versed in policing and infantry tactics. Dawood has extensive experience working with coalition forces and expressed gratitude for the knowledge he’s gained during his time spent with Marines. With transition in sight, the precinct commander is confident in future of his force. “The police of Garmsir are ready to maintain the security of our own district,” Dawood said. “When the Marines of (Company K) leave, we’ll continue to keep security and people will be

happy with what we’re doing. We’re from this area and we’re proud to serve our people … they trust us. Our country has a strong future because we have our own forces and we’re staying with our people.” As the local government’s roots deepen here, the growing police force has become an essential component of a secure future for Garmsir. The work isn’t done quite yet, but the ANP are making clear progress through their partnership with the 3rd Bn., 3rd Marines. “When we first got to Garmsir, we identified that the ANP had a long way to go,” Staff said. “Since then, they’ve made great strides with our Marines dispersed among them. The ANP still have shortfalls, but by the end of our deployment, as long as they continue to work hard and improve, they’ll be prepared.”

RAID FROM 1A “The BLT is a large force (and) when they are moving through a forest there is nothing stealthy about it,” he said. “(Recon) is smaller, faster. Their specialized training allows them to maneuver in this terrain so their abilities and their approach are very precise.” The Marines worked under some severely debilitating limitations but they found ways to surpass them and successfully complete the mission. In a real-world scenario, the Marines would have many more options; they could easily have broken fences, dropped grenades, cut power, leveled an enemy building or sniped streetlights. Regardless, they completed the night’s training scenario with minimal complications. “It was a combined hit with 53s,” said Donovan. “I didn’t want man-onman fighting, that’s for the movies. We’ll use hellfire (missiles) or (Joint direct attack munitions) and hit ‘em hard. “There are things they could do better, there’s always room to improve,” he said. “It’s the big movement, the mechanics of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force, that’s what I’m looking at. In that, they did a great job.” The recon Marines experienced a blitz of training prior to this raid as they cycled through countless training scenarios in a short time to prepare for this deployment. They use these difficult scenarios in different locations to be able to support the MEU wherever they go, in the worst situations. The 24th MEU has a plan for training milestones during their upcoming deployment; however, no one can predict the next war, disaster or political uprising. Thus, the MEU will deploy ready to face these inevitable situations, unpredictable times and unknowns of the next threat. “It’s the enemy’s terrain on our terms,” said Donovan.

(Above) Cardio kickboxing instructor Amy Mohr leads participants in a series of exercises designed to increase fitness, agility and flexibility. Cardio kickboxing is one of many sports-inspired workouts that has alternated the way people view group exercise.

n the 1980s, aerobics was the ultimate workout for housewives, who would don their slouchy socks, fuzzy leg warmers and high top sneakers before turning on a VHS copy of some popular workout guru, who would undoubtedly be teaching them how to “sweat to the oldies.” In 1992, aerobic kickboxing, also referred to as cardio kickboxing, a sports-inspired form of aerobics i that h paired i d the h cardio di workk out of traditional aerobics with the strength agility training involved in martial arts, made its debut. An overnight success, cardio kickboxing paved the way for other sports-inspired A aerobic classes like spin and step classes. By 1998, cardio kickboxing, step classes aero and spin classes were more popular than any other form of aerobic exercise and had successfully changed the face of group exercise. At Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, cardio kickboxing has once again beA come a mainstream form of exercise and group exercises classes are busting at the com seams. sea ““In the 1970s and 1980s, martial arts videos became really popular,” said Lynn Ramirez, group exercise coordinator with the Semper Fit division of Marine Ram Corps Community Services aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. “With Bruce Lee and Co kun kung fu rising in popularity, fitness instructors started looking for ways to incorpo porate popular moves into their classes. The result was great – everybody loved the new athletic twist. Here, we always have high numbers of participants who are signing up to take this class.” “In 1999, that’s when I remember cardio kickboxing really becoming popular lar,” added Angela Rodier, a Semper Fit program specialist. “Like all things that sp spring up, it died out a little bit, but we had a resurgence in popularity and it (h (has) stayed popular through time.” The kickboxing craze hit its stride when TaeBo became a popular workout SEE KICKBOXING 7B

Fish elude Carolina anglers Stripers, speckled trout bite dying out

Regulations put into place by the National Park Service will make it more difficult to access the Cape Hatteras National Seashore for offroad vehicle enthusiasts. Scheduled to begin Feb. 15, the National Park Service will permanently close 26 of the 67-mile long seashore. They will also begin imposing weekly and seasonal permit fees for fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts. This new rule, put into effect in an effort to protect and regulate the federally protected coastline, will also require off-road motorists to take a safety course before they can obtain their beach permit. Fishermen who frequent the island for its shoreline should make sure to obtain all neces-

sary paperwork to receive their permit in order to keep from disrupting their weekend plans, as permits for daily use will not be available under the new regulations. Even though the waters are very clear right now and the weather is not giving anglers too much trouble on the seas, there is not much fishing activity going on right now. There are still a few speckled trout to be found in the creeks along the Neuse River, Queens Creek and Bogue Sound. As of now, night anglers are having better luck than anglers who only fish during the day. While the weather is calm and clear, anglers should take the opportunity to try their hand at night fishing, if they have never given it a chance. It’s important to remember that live baits and dark artificial baits will work best in the dark waters, drawing in more fish than normal. While the night bite has been the talk of the town in the last week, the

Cape Lookout Rock Jetty is still boasting a pretty good number of fish being caught. Red drum, black drum and tautog are being caught using small pieces of shrimp and Carolina-style rigs to help lure fish toward anglers. Gulp! baits continue to prove that they are successful in catching the eyes of red drum. The Cape Lookout Rock Jetty is not the only place to catch red drum. The fish have finally made their way to Bear Inlet and Brown’s Inlet. Schools of fish have also been spotted and caught behind Bear Island and in the Bogue Sound marshes. The clear water makes it difficult to sneak up on red drum, so anglers who are fishing these areas should be very quiet when scouting for fish. The stripers have still not made it to the Crystal Coast, but continue to be caught off the Virginia coastline. No fish may be caught and kept outside of the three-mile limit set near Rudee Inlet. Regardless of high hopes for a strong striper season, the stripers have yet to make their way down the Crystal Coast. The last strong striper season we saw was in 2004, but it looks like

anglers will have to wait another year to see any stripers in our region. The shad have not made their presence known yet, either, but anglers who enjoy catching shad should continue to follow fishing reports, which will give anglers a report on the first shad of the season. Pier fishermen should note that construction on Bogue Pier is moving along very quickly. There have been recent reports that the popular observation deck will be included in the second phase of the reconstruction project. Beginning Feb. 6, the Coast Guard will hold a six-week basic seamanship course. The class will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. every Monday and Thursday and will cover boating, navigational rules and proper use of safety equipment. This course satisfies federal and state training requirements for boaters and will cost $35. 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. For more information on the Basic Seamanship course, call 1-252-393-2436.

Tom Brady vs. Eli Manning Will Giants repeat history or be bested by Patriots?

In 2008, the New York Giants took on the New England Patriots for the most watched football game in America. Determined not to be secondbest, Giants quarterback Eli Manning and his team stepped up and battered Patriots’ Tom Brady in the last quarter of the game, giving them just enough edge to win football’s most coveted title. In 2012, they have the chance to do it all over again. As fans of football’s biggest game of the year prepare for the Feb. 5 game, many of them are waging war against Giants’ Manning or the Patriots’ Brady, trying to pick who will come out of the game victorious. With less than two weeks left to question, predict and wonder who will come out on top, football fanatics have already started to analyze every inch of the two teams who will take part in the game.

The Patriots have been the favorite pick since the start of the season, but all eyes will be on Manning and the Giants as they attempt to repeat history with a second victory over the Patriots. When the Patriots are in control of the ball, they have a notoriously modern National Football League offense, playing across the field instead of staying huddled together in a tightly knit group. Brady’s passing record is not something to be overlooked. With approximately 75 percent of his passes completed under 15 yards, it’s impossible to not appreciate the agility and accuracy with which Brady throws his short-distance passes. Working in sync with Brady are Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, who use the widely spread offense strategy to their advantage when it comes to keeping the Patriots’ offensive line on top of their game. Add wide receiver Wes Welker to the mix and it’s easy to see that the Patriots have a strong offense

to work from. While the Patriots offense may seem threatening, the Giants have their own form and unique style to bring to the table when they have control of the ball. I’m sure Sunday’s big game will boast plenty of complete passes from Manning, who has proven that he can pass under pressure. The Giants have won three of their four appearances at NFL’s biggest game. In addition to their defeat over the Patriots in 2008, they also conquered the Denver Broncos in 1987 and overtook the Buffalo Bills in 1991. The Patriots have also secured three wins under their belt, making it impossible to look at the winning statistics alone and predict who will emerge victorious in 2012. The Giants and Patriots offensive comparisons are nearly identical to one another, with the Patriots barely topping the charts for passing and rushing. The Giants average 385.1 yards per game, while the Patriots boast 428. The Patriots also come out on top of passing yards per game with an average of 317, while the Giants’ average 395. When it comes to rushing, once again the

Patriots’ take the lead, with 110 yards per game, while the Giants fall to an average of 89 yards per game. Despite the numbers, though, the Giants have already proven that they are worthy adversaries once and the ultimate challenge for the Patriots will be to provide Brady with as much protection as possible. The Giants know how to foil plans by covering their opponents, leading many people to draw the conclusion that if the Giants can effectively ruin Brady’s passing techniques, they can render the Patriots’ offense useless. The Giants, however, will have to be on the lookout for Brady, who has admitted that his team’s upset by the Giants in the 2008 game is still something that bothers him. The Patriots’ coaching staff has surely taken a look at their old tapes and will be formulating plays that they expect will take their opponents by surprise. As we prepare to watch NFL’s biggest game of the year, all eyes turn to Manning and Brady, waiting, with baited breath, to see who will be going home and who will be “going to Disney World.”

sion of Marine Corps Community Services, is excited about. “I think that we’ve doubled in attendance because the word has spread that this is a really great event for the whole family,” said Fuller. “It gets everybody up and out of the house on the

weekend, at least once a month. It also gives families time to spend together while doing something that is great and healthy for them. It gives them a healthy outlet to spend time together and hopefully we can inspire them to make a change and start doing something ac-

tive every weekend.” As runners, walkers and rollers stood in line to register, 20 volunteers made sure that their time was not spent in vain. While volunteers worked quickly to register runners for the one-mile or three-mile option, others led warm up exercises

and stretches to help the participants prepare for the race. Volunteers were also responsible for setting up the race clock to keep track of how long it took participants to run, walk or ride the course that had been carefully mapped out. “The volunteers come

out to help with the runs and do a great job,” said Fuller. “I couldn’t make this happen without them. They do everything from register people to help them finish the course and record their times. They are our SEE RUN 7B

Gaven Allen leads Lejeune High School on, off basketball court JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

he 2012 basketball season is more than halfway over for Gaven Allen, but he’s not ready to give it up yet. The 6-foot 3-inch Lejeune High School senior has had a standout year and proven himself a leader on and off the court, eclipsing a few important milestones along the way. During games, he can be heard talking and

encouraging teammates and constantly looking over to the sidelines for advice from his coaches. At practice, he meets his coaches’ expectations without being constantly reminded and off the court, he leads his peers and school mates by being a positive influence in the community. “(Allen) works hard and never misses practices,” said Lejeune High School basketball coach Doug Erny of his star athlete. “He works hard to make himself a better player and is very dedi-

cated to doing the best he can.” Allen has had a good run with the Devil Pups basketball team. He has been playing on the varsity team since the middle of the season in his freshman year and has seen the team change throughout his high school career. “In games, (Allen) really proves that he can lead this team,” said Erny. “All athletes are a little looser during practices, but he really sharpens up when he steps onto the court. He

gets down to business in games.” At the end of his junior year, schools like Virginia Military Institute, East Carolina University and University of North Carolina - Wilmington had already shown interest in Allen, who spent his off-season sharpening up his basketball skills for his senior year. In December 2011, Allen helped his team as they paved the way to making history, winning the championship game in the Onslow County Boys Classic tournament series aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. The Lejeune High School Devil Pups’ win over Northside High School came with the help of several rebounds and points scored by Allen. Allen was also a driving force behind Erny’s 400th win, which oc-

curred on the same night that Allen and girls’ basketball team member Chatori Major were honored for eclipsing the 1,000 point mark in their high school careers. “Gaven and Chatori both scored (more than) 1,000 points since they’ve been playing,” explained Erny. “(Allen) met that mark when we were playing at East Carteret.” Allen and Major were awarded before the boys’ basketball game against Dixon High School, Friday at Lejeune High School aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. Both athletes were given keepsake basketballs and recognized in front of their parents, peers and teachers. Despite the highlights of his season, though, Allen continues to work hard at practices. “I have two rules for every guy on my team,” said Erny. “One - they

have to be doing well in class. I always tell them that they cannot be making poor grades and still be a leader. Two - they have to agree to give me everything they can in practice. If I show up and give them all my effort, I expect them to do the same thing in return.” Erny and assistant coach Chad Fonville, do not have individual expectations for the students on their team, but do agree that becoming better individuals and better athletes is at the top of their priority list. “My main concern is that they work to better themselves all around,” said Erny. “If they do that and they give me all they’ve got, I’ll be happy with them.” Striving to become a better athlete is something that Allen has proven he can do.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. KICKBOXING FROM 1B style, but group exercise instructors struggled with how to make kickboxing and other martial arts-inspired workouts accessible to all skill levels. Kickboxing classes notoriously combine cardio workouts with flexibility, strength, balance and agility, making them difficult to offer to both inexperienced participants and long-time students, who seek challenges to keep their workouts from getting mundane. “One of the best things about offering modifications is that nobody has to feel like they are failing because they can’t do everything the instructor can,” said Rodier. “Modifications in a class let patrons make the workout their own and take care of themselves at the same time without overdoing what their body can handle. The most important thing is to take care of yourself, and if that means that you need to rest during class or not do that last push-up, then you have the modifications there that allow you to do whatever you need.” With more patrons than normal in the fitness centers aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, trying to stick to their New Year’s resolutions to get fit or stay healthy, Ramirez and Rodier were not surprised to see people lining up for classes like Cardio Kickboxing and hope to see the class continue to be

RUN FROM 3B crossing guards, safety officers and cheerleaders and they walk behind the patrons to make sure that nobody gets lost or stuck. If somebody needs to stop, they help. They encourage the patrons to finish the run.” While participants registered and stretched, Fuller walked around the crowd greeting people and asking about their New Year’s resolution. With a marker in one hand and a stack of name tags in the other, Fuller wrote down the resolutions of each patron and gave them a name tag to wear with their New Year’s goals written on it. “Every run has a theme to it,” explained Fuller. “Sometimes, the themes are harder to plan for than others. We like for patrons to dress up in accordance (with) the theme, but that’s not always easy to do. “We always try to provide something that goes along with the theme,” continued Fuller. “I figured since people have a hard time sticking to their resolutions, I would stick their resolution to them. It’s just something to make this a little more fun.” With resolutions ranging from “get into a good college” to “eat more vegetables” and “run a half marathon,” runners took their marks as they prepared for the race to begin. Fifty-eight people signed up for the one-mile fun run, while another 56 signed up for the 5K challenge course.

popular with patrons aboard the base. “People tend to get a little intimidated about classes they have never taken before,” said Ramirez. “They think that classes like cardio kickboxing are for people who have martial arts experience, but they should never be intimidated by what they think they can or cannot do. Just come in and get started. Instructors will make sure that modifications are available as needed.” In a class as full as the cardio kickboxing class at Tarawa Terrace Fitness Center aboard the MCB Camp Lejeune housing area, modifications are a necessity. There is no room for bags or jump ropes, which means that instructor Amy Mohr must modify moves. She offers a low-impact style workout that gives participants the chance to pick the intensity of their hour-long Cardio Kickboxing class and keeps the floors from getting scuffed by dragging out heavy bags. “(Mohr) is a true athlete, to the very core. Most of us dream of having an ounce of her energy and athletic ability,” said Ramirez. “She knows how to build things into a class and recognize the modifications that need to be made based on size, space and individual needs.” Mohr, who has only been teaching Cardio Kickboxing for

The runners, walkers and rollers started the course together and broke off into two groups after they left the finish line, each led by a volunteer who ensured they went the right way, according to the distance they wanted to run. “The challenge course is something we started last March because we had people who had been coming for a few years and I didn’t think it was enough for them to work their way up to a 5K and then start over with a one-mile run every January,” said Fuller. “I wanted to encourage them to maintain a level of fitness that suits them and allow them to keep up with the distance they could run.” Runners, walkers and rollers who are not at a fitness level that allows them to run the 5K distance can start slow and build their speed and endurance over the yearlong family fun run program. Each month, the runs get progressively longer, ending with a 5K run in December. “We always have the 5K option available but we also try to encourage participants who haven’t been runners for a long time to start slow,” said Fuller. “Offering a shorter route lets people choose what they are comfortable with and I hope it encourages people to come out whenever they can.” For more information on the Tarawa Terrace Family Fun Run schedule, visit www.mccslejeune.com.

a few months, has been working with Semper Fit for almost a year and is a former Marine who is willing to learn and teach anything she can. “(Mohr) came in wanting to learn how to do everything she could get her hands on,” said Ramirez. “She’s passionate about exercise and when you have instructors who are passionate and excited, more people want to come to their class.” “Instructors like that develop a following of students who enjoy their energy,” added Rodier. “(Mohr) is the type of person who wants to learn classes and then up the ante in them.” In short, Mohr is the type of instructor who has “changed the face of group exercise,” said Ramirez. In addition to getting a total body workout with Cardio Kickboxing classes, participants also get the chance to learn technique and experience what a functional workout feels like. “Kickboxing is built around technique,” said Ramirez. “At its core, it pays respect to martial arts. So, just like studying martial arts, it can help people to have a more proficient exercise and build technique they can actually use in day-to-day activities.” Ramirez went on to explain that functional technique is not

ALLEN FROM 4B ethic on the court shows that he is serious about basketball, and his dedication to his team and his studies proves that he is willing to do what it takes to make sure he can continue to play. “(Allen) is a good postplayer,” said Erny. “He’s a good scoring force for our team. He can play good defense and he gets a lot of rebounds for us. The Devil Pups don’t have a typical court set up with two forwards, two guards and a center. Instead, Allen has been spending most of his time in post, where he has been a solid scoring force for the team. “(Allen) has a knack for the sport and has helped our team reach the goals they set earlier this season,” said Erny of the senior athlete. “That’s the dedication I like to see.”

The movement is what is functional, she said. “When you are in the gym, a lot of the exercises you do are not natural to the way your body actually moves,” explained Ramirez. “People just don’t move the way they do at the gym in every day life. But, with Cardio Kickboxing, the functional workout comes into place when you let your reflexes take over. “If a mom is at home with

her child, who suddenly drops a cup, reflexes take over when you reach out to stop the cup from hitting the floor,” continued Ramirez. “That’s what a functional exercise is. In classes like (Cardio Kickboxing), we try to give patrons a workout that works their muscle groups the same way they would in everyday activities.” For more information on group exercise classes, visit www.mccslejeune.com.

Service member children gathered for the Teen Reads program hosted by Marine Corps Community Services at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently. The teenagers get together once a month to have group discussions about the readings.

Base library keeps youth interested with Teen Reads program PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

here are a variety of avenues for teenagers to seek entertainment. In today’s culture, the latest and greatest gadgets or video games seem to be the focused interest of many American teens, and also make up the majority of consumer sales in America. Video gaming systems have provided a three-dimensional interactive world where the player can partake in the virtual story. Now, teens are more likely to stroll down the aisles in an electronic store rather than the aisles in a library. But there are teenagers who still appreciate the quality of a well written book, and believe that books provide another category of entertainment that is different from a movie or game. Some of them can be found at the Teen Reads program held at Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base

Camp Lejeune. “Books are so much more detailed, and sometimes they’re too detailed,” said a girl who attended the Teen Reads. “But, the images depicted in our heads are left to our creative imaginations, and books get more in-depth with the story. That’s why I enjoy books more than movies.” Teen Reads is for military dependents from ages 12 through 18. The reading group gathers in the teen room at the library every first or second Tuesday of the month, and each month the group reads and holds a discussion about the book selected for the month. “The Hobbit”, written by J. R. R. Tolkien, was the book they reviewed during the Teen Reads, Jan. 10. “We’ve been blessed in the past to be able to provide 10 families with a copy of the book,” said Fran Bing, a library technician at Harriotte B. Smith Library. “I don’t know if we’ll be able to continue that because that’s a chunk of change, and we have three book clubs. That’s a total of 30 books a month.” Teens are always hungry, so

Bing provides pizza and beverages at every Teen Reads meeting. It is an opportunity for them to hang out, relax, meet and make friends, and sometimes leave with a book. “It’s a good way to get the kids active in the library, and they pick the books,” said Bing. “Last year’s club picked this year’s list. I didn’t pick them.” The group talked about the personalities of characters, how they lived, learned, grew and evolved through the story. The story of each character was a way of teaching morals and ethics, and Bing allowed the teens to identify all of them. They also talked about the author and how he influenced other authors to write fictional fantasy novels inspired by his stories. “It’s not like a classroom,” said Bing. “We just respect each other, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Some of them come in hating the book, some don’t know anything about the book, and some come in loving the book. Sometimes by the end, one side or the other will have swayed the others.”

The teens seemed to know every detail of the book, as if they had immersed themselves into every word and lived the adventure in another type of consciousness, which seemed as magical as the stories themselves. Their eyes brightened up when they described the scenes that excited them. One person would begin by telling the scene, and others would add with his or her words, collectively telling the story together. A 12-year-old girl compared the character’s lifestyle of going from boring to adventurous to someone who has eaten bland food their whole life to eating flavorful, delicious foods. “These kids are bright,” said Bing. “We’ll have philosophical discussions and I’m like ‘wow, you are all in (advanced placement) classes right?’ They are a very smart bunch of kids. They are not normal teenagers, because there’s no such thing as a normal teenager. We’re probably the biggest geeks here. But this is also the group that plans the teen programs. They tell us their ideas and we try our best to

make it happen.” According to Bing, the teens help to plan the majority of the programs offered to the military dependents. Last year, the teens volunteered 475 hours to the library. Bing said the program was a way to get kids to come to the library and meet people because so many military kids can find it hard to walk-up and introduce themselves. Moving in a military world can make it challenging for a dependent to make friends. “The kids love the program because they get to decide what they want to do,” said Bing. “What I love about them is they keep me from being old. They keep me in touch with what’s going on, and what’s popular, and this is the key to the success of the program.” Teen Reads has been going on since 2005. Next month, Teen Reads will be covering all three of the Lord of the Rings books. For more information on the programs offered at the library, visit www.mccslejeune.com/ libraries.

DMAA possibly linked to deaths Sgt. Maj. of the Marine Corps visits Camp Lejeune of service members PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

All branches in the Department of Defense, as well as other organizations around the world, were apprehensive when claims of an over-the-counter supplement, Jack3D, was believed to test positive for illegal substances during urinalysis testing. Concerned military departments took immediate action by warning service members. But after testing the supplement, the claims proved to be false. Now, military organizations are taking a second look at Jack3D, as well as other weight-loss and bodybuilding supplements such as Oxy Elite Pro, Lipo 6 and Hemo Rate, which contain the popular amphetaminelike stimulant, Dimethylamylamine. According to an article published on the MacDill Air Force Base website, the Army pulled these products off of their Army and Air Force Exchanges and GNC store shelves, Dec. 3 in regards to recent service members’ deaths linked to the product. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and surrounding installations have also removed the products from their commissaries, exchanges and put the products on “medical hold” until a thorough investigation of the dangers of DMAA is completed. Although these products have been pulled, service members are still allowed to use them, but military leaders recommend

holding off on further use until the results of the review are complete. “My recommendation for (service members) is if they intend further use of these supplements before the conclusion of its study, they do so at their own risk,” said Staff Sgt. Ken Imamura, the substance abuse control officer with Headquarters and Support Battalion, MCB Camp Lejeune. “Before taking any supplement, for whatever reason, know what you’re putting in your body. If you’re putting this stuff in, you need to know how it affects you overall because any of these products may have something that may be a potential hazard to yourself.” Imamura said there has been an issue with products such as Jack3D before where people were being hospitalized because they were not adhering to the directions for usage. “If you find that (any supplement or prescription medication) is not working the way that it’s supposed to, or the way it worked when you first started, it might be time to research an alternative because your body has become adjusted to its effects and it’s no longer working,” said Imamura. “Increasing the dosage is not the solution.” Part of the SACO mission is to pass the word out to all the unit leaders with strict instructions to inform service members of all ranks when drug concerns occur.

For many people, the idea of investing their money seems like a complicated process. With so many different places to put their money to good use from money market accounts, stocks and bonds to mutual funds and precious metals, service members aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune should look no further than Marine Corps Community Services’ Resilience Education courses. With the Investment Basics class, base personnel learn how to take the first steps in investing and preparing themselves for an enjoyable retirement.

Marines should always be looking to the future when it comes to their finances and preparing for retirement, whether they plan to make the military a career or if they plan to leave the service, according to Roy Ells, Jr., a financial education specialist for the Resources Branch for Personal and Professional Programs, MCCS. “A lot of people come to me and ask how they can invest their money for their children’s education, but the first thing I always ask is what kind of retirement plan they have,” said Ells. “Retirement should be foremost in your mind when talking about investing. If you don’t think about retirement before paying for your kid’s education, you may just end up living with

those kids in the future.” The class is not designed to tell people what they should do with their money, but to show them the options they have available for investing their money. Students learn how to budget their money and invest it without putting a burden on them and how to use money normally for paying debts. The class also goes over the importance of investing early so money can be built up for retirement rather than starting too late and trying to catch up as well as different kinds of investments that can be made.

Employees and volunteers with the NavyMarine Corps Relief Society aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, celebrated the society’s 108th birthday at the NMCRS office, Monday. Founded in 1904, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is a private, non-profit charitable organization sponsored by the Department of the Navy and operates nearly 250 offices at Navy and Marine Corps bases throughout the world. Over the years, the NMCRS duty has changed from helping widows and orphans to assisting all personnel of the naval services, but its sole mission of providing financial, educational, and other numerous ways of assistance has remained the same. The NMCRS office aboard MCB Camp Lejeune has been serving the base community for almost 70 years by providing assistance to members of the naval services, eligible family members and survivors when in need. Joined by base officials and clients to help celebrate more than a century of history and traditions, NMCRS staff and volunteers also commemorated a very special employee. Kim Swensen has dedicated more than 15 years of employment to NMCRS and was honored for her faithful service and significant contributions to the society. The event not only celebrated the hard work of committed employees, but also the devoted volunteers that have made it possible for NMCRS to serve more than four million Marines, sailors and families. With more than 3,600 volunteers, 80 percent of the society’s efficiency is due to volunteer work. “It’s just tremendous work. It’s life-changing what you do,” said Col. Daniel J. Lecce, MCB Camp Lejeune commanding officer. “You’re there (24 hours a day, seven days a week) and it truly makes a big difference. I think we’re coming up on difficult times in the Navy and Marine Corps and my feeling is, statistically, that you are going to be called on more in the future than you have before. I recognize what you do and cannot thank you enough for everything that you do.” The society recently awarded many of the volunteers for their selfless service to the military community. “We really appreciate the support of what you do,” said Gini Schopfel, director of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society branch aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. “Thank you for what you do every day to change a life of someone in the military community. They serve and they truly couldn’t do it without you.” For information on volunteering with NMCRS, call 451-5346.

Last year, when Gen. James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, announced the Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Strategy and Implementation Plan, he stated that the Marine Corps can even be expeditionary in its use of energy. The strategy includes creating a more capable Marine Air-Ground Task Force, helping troops leave less of an environmental footprint and become less dependent on liquid and battery logistics, all with a greater operational reach at less risk. “The current and future operating environment requires an expeditionary mindset geared toward increased efficiency and reduced consumption, which will make our forces lighter and faster,” said Amos. One of the most recent projects to see this plan to fruition was the Ground Renewable Expeditionary Energy Network System, recently tested by troops aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Officials from the Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Office say they have issued a comprehensive requirements roadmap to guide the Marine Corps’ investments in equipment and its personnel. The Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Office said it is “working – itemby-item, system-by-system, Marine-byMarine – to build a force that requires less energy, yet is just as lethal.” Projects like GREENS and other endeavors are focused on supporting the Marines in combat today, but also on increasing the combat effectiveness of the future. According the Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Strategy and Implementation Plan, these investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy can lead savings in weight and fuel transported – which translate also into fiscal savings. For example, across the Future Year Defense Plan, there are estimated savings of up to 1,011 barrels of fuel, reducing the weight carried by forces by 284,498 pounds, and reducing the total weight of batteries carried by 196,000. The GREENS system boasts the capability to operate up to 300 watts of power for 16 hours, just off of four fully charged, high-energy lithium battery packs. These battery packs all meet up with a control box, where a user can manage the amount of energy being pulled from them, said Michael Bissonnette, a support contractor with L3 Communications, who supports the program manager for Expeditionary Power Systems with Marine Corps Systems Command. There is also a series of up to eight

Empty display bottles of supplements were pulled off the shelves and put away at the GNC store aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently. Jack3D, as well as other weightloss and bodybuilding supplements such as Oxy Elite Pro, Lipo 6 and Hemo Rate, which contain the popular amphetaminelike stimulant, Dimethylamylamine, have been put on medical hold to test the effects of the drugs. DMAA FROM 1C “I know many Marines that do use these products, which is why keeping everyone informed is important and necessary to protect the lives and health of the service members,” said Imamura. Dimethylamylamine, also called methylhexanamin, is a synthetic stimulant which may be responsible for causing serious changes in blood pressure, headaches, light headedness, stroke, depression, elevated or irregular heartbeat, increased urination, dehydration, sweating, tremors, anxiety and lethal exhaustion. The risk of these effects also appears to increase with the use of multiple stimulants, such as caffeine, heat and dehydration, according to a release by Human Performance Resource Center. For questions about these products, call Marine Corps Community Services’ Resilience Education 451-2865 or visit www.mccslejeune.com/health. For more information on Department of Defense recalls, visit www.troopsupport. dla.mil/subs/fso/alfood/afamess.asp. Dimethylamylamine (DMAA) is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the international body that regulates drug use in sports and Major League Baseball. INVESTMENT FROM 1C any one of them can be a benefit or a detriment if a service member doesn’t take the time to learn the process well, said Ells. There are small, large, risky and safe investments, long term, short term and medium term investments. Each one requires enough knowledge and a good strategy to walk away from the investment with a profit instead of a loss. But, is it really so easy that a “talking baby” can do it? Ells said it comes down to each individual person. “It really just depends on what your goal is as far as investing,” said Ells. “That should determine the risk factor you are willing to associate with your investment.” The class also teaches students how to find reputable financial planners and investment companies to help with their investment goals. During the class, Ells also goes into detail about the benefits of taking advantage of the Thrift Savings Plan and similar programs. “Honestly, I was worried that (the class) was going to repeat a lot of stuff that I had already read online but it really helped me set goals as far as saving and investing in the future,” said Cristina Rioja, an Investment Basics class attendant. Investment Basics is held once a month at the Resilience Education office. For more information or to sign up, call 451-2865.

solar panels which can virtually keep a charge of 300 watts continuously, as long as there was a source of sunlight. A sustainment of daylight, plus four charged battery packs, can provide 24 hours of energy for whatever troops may find the need for. “There are other ways of using external power sources and there is a lot of flexibility in the system,” said Bissonnette. “For example, if a vehicle came into the forward operating base after a convoy, you could hook the vehicle power directly to the controller to top the charge off on the vehicle’s battery. You can use different combinations, such as one panel and one battery, it just depends on your mission and how long you’re going to be out there for.” Bissonnette added that 300 watts compared to a generator’s output isn’t necessarily a lot of power but when there is a control base, observation point or command and control center that does not run very many radios and is ‘bare boned,’ 300 watts should be enough to sustain operations. “If you’re doing that with renewable energy sources, you don’t have to run a generator, you don’t have to put a convoy on the road that’s susceptible to enemy attacks and you’re saving fuel,” said Bissonnette. “I’ve even seen places that can only be refueled by helicopter so they’re obviously not that easy to get to begin with. If you can reduce the amount of supplies you have to get to them, it will allow home to remain selfsufficient.” Bissonnette added that where there are high demands for energy and power sources, the GREENS systems currently in use will not replace any generators. Seven similar prototypes were previously built by the Office of Naval Research, which were fielded by to 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, during its Mojave Viper training at Marine Corps AirGround Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif., in October 2010. Troops with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines later spent about a year in Afghanistan using them. “It demonstrated the use of a renewable energy power system in an expeditionary environment,” said Bissonnette. “Marine Corps Systems Command received an urgent statement of need which defined a requirement to develop these production systems and deploy 120 more GREENS systems to Afghanistan.” Cpl. Joshua Byrd, a radio operator with the headquarters element of Regimental Combat Team 8, said he was chosen to get a better understanding of the GREENS systems which would allow him to bring the knowledge back to his unit in case they would have the

opportunity to utilize the system in country. “It seems like a pretty good piece of equipment to have,” said Byrd. “If my unit would have had this last year it would have been a great help. A lot of power could have been saved and less generators could be used. Hopefully next time we deploy with another unit, we should have one or two of these at our disposal.” Byrd added that after deploying in 2011, the biggest difference is the fact the there is no need to refuel it “at least five times a day, every day.” Also, the GREENS systems could have easily replaced their generators on a good deal of equipment they needed to power up. “This is probably the largest expeditionary renewable energy system that has been fielded in the Marine Corps to date,” said Clint J. Govar, the team leader for Advanced Power with Marine Corps Systems Command. “This is important because it’s helping to reduce the amount of fuel used and the number of convoys needed to provide it. It has also provided capability beyond what the Marines have been able to do.” Govar added that there are still operations in place that don’t have generator power and are just running off of batteries. “Systems like this allow them to recharge rechargeable batteries and wean away from throw-away one time use batteries, which greatly reduces weight and resupply requirements,” said Govar. “It’s modular and the footprint isn’t small, but depending on what the power demand is, you can just bring a small portion.” Bissonnette said the majority of the systems being fielded now are going to Afghanistan so a number of the remaining systems are being sent to be used at the various Marine Expeditionary Forces, preferably two GREENS for every regiment. “We will go out and give units in the deployment cycle a GREENS systems as well as training classes,” said Bissonnette. “They will also use it in Mojave Viper before they deploy and during the deployment. The unit we’re working with next is (2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division).” As the Marine Corps draws down from Afghanistan, energy efficiency will be a critical enabler for the Corps’ future missions. By reducing the need for fuel, expeditionary forces will minimize their exposure to the enemy, increase range and flexibility as a highly self-sufficient force, and operate in places where others more dependent on logistics cannot.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

Cruise tackles new mission, scary stunts in ‘Ghost Protocol’ Now playing at Camp Lejeune “MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL” (PG-13) “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” is an action-packed spy adventure and the fourth installment in the 15-year-old popular franchise. In this latest mission of the espionage series, Ethan Hunt and his team are abandoned by the U.S. government after a terrorist attack on the Russians, unless they can clear themselves by finding the real culprits. The IMF is shut down when it is implicated in the bombing of the Kremlin, causing Hunt and his new team to go rogue to clear their organization’s name. Tom Cruise (“Knight and Day,” “Valkyrie,” “War of the Worlds”) reprises his role of Ethan Hunt and, again, dangles from wires, runs from explosions, jumps off buildings and romances pretty ladies. Blamed for the terrorist bombing of the Kremlin, IMF operative Hunt is disavowed along with the rest of the agency when the president initiates “Ghost Protocol.” Left without any resources or backup, Hunt must find a way to clear his agency’s name and prevent another attack. To complicate matters further, Hunt is forced to embark on this mission with a team of fellow IMF fugitives whose personal motives he does not

fully know. Co-starring is Jeremy Renner (“The Town,” “The Hurt Locker”) as William Brandt, an IMF analyst with a top secret background. Also starring as another pair of tough agents are Paula Patton (“Just Wright,” “Precious”) as Jane Carter; and Simon Pegg (“Paul,” “Star Trek”) as Benji Dunn. Series veteran Ving Rhames (“Death Race”) returns as Luther Stickell. Josh Holloway (TV’s “Lost”) can be seen as Trevor Hanaway, a cocky spy on Hunt’s team who thrives on fast cars, gadgets and guns. Director Brad Bird (“Ratatouille,” “The Incredibles”) took on this latest mission after a fiveyear absence of the M:I franchise. Bird is making his first non-animated, live-action directing debut. J.J. Abrams, who directed the third “Mission Impossible” film, steps into the role of producer. The film was shot on location in Dubai, Prague, Moscow, Mumbai and Vancouver. “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” is a highly explosive action flick and fascinating travelog. The movie relives a lot of the old tricks and action scenes, but also shows some new impressive and dazzling ones, like the one where Cruise is scaling the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. As always, Cruise, the superhero, is entertaining

Get jarred, remember what matters NAVY LT. CHRIS ADAMS

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Bill Cosby is my favorite comedian. He knew the best joke is the one with a common truth or experience at its core – one that relates. Recently, I experienced a moment like the one he described in a stand-up routine. It’s when you realize there is something in another room that you need, get up to go and get it, only to forget what it was by the time you get to the door. Cosby always wondered, “Where do those thoughts go?” Then one day he found it. Instead of standing in the doorway staring into the room hoping the item would wave itself at him, he went back to where he was sitting and plopped down into the chair. Instantly, the idea was “jarred from his bottom into his brain.” I can relate to his joke. Often times, I find myself forgetting some of the most routine things in life. I would love to blame it on getting older but I can’t. I’ve come to realize that many times I forget the things that matter most when I become too consumed with the things that matter least. The same can be said spiritually. Sometimes I find myself standing in a “doorway” trying to remember what it is I am supposed to be doing in my relationship with God. I get stuck on autopilot and need to be “jarred,” you know, reminded of the things that really matter. A mentor of mine, Dr. Adrian Rogers, was well known for putting “jarring” things in simple terms. They became known as “Adrianisms.” Here are just a few: “Just because it doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense.” “Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity.” “Sin is not just breaking God’s laws; it is breaking his heart.” “If you have a Bible that’s falling apart, you’ll have a life that’s not.” I don’t know where you are in your life. To use Cosby’s analogy, you may be sitting, standing at the door staring aimlessly, or on your way back to your seat. Regardless, I hope these words were the “jar” you needed.

There’s something magical about watching things grow and getting your hands dirty, waiting and then seeing something green pop up.

he sight of bright green leaves and newly sprouting plants begin to saturate the air with the fresh scent of a looming spring. For green thumbs, it marks the exciting season of indulging in the gardens, but when the beautiful, blue Bachelor’s Button flowers end up withering away, one may feel the green from their thumbs wane, left feeling as blue as the anticipated flowers. For 24 service members and patrons aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune who were looking for tips on tending to tulips or planting a stable of edible vegetables, they were in luck. The Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard MCB Camp Lejeune hosted the first Gardening 101 workshop for adults ages 18 and older, Jan 19.

Lisa Rayburn, teacher with North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service, North Carolina State University “I love growing anything that I can eat, and I’m just a sucker for a pretty plant,” said Lisa Rayburn, a teacher with North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service, North Carolina State University. “There’s something magical about watching things grow and getting your hands dirty, waiting and then seeing something green pop up.” Although some of the participants were more experienced that others, they all took notes and asked questions. “I really enjoy offering classes in this setting because it gives me the opportunity to answer a lot of questions in an efficient way,” said Rayburn. “So, it’s a great way for me to carry out the

mission of my job.” Participants talked about the challenges they had with their gardens and Rayburn helped to shed light on every topic that sprouted. “Onslow County isn’t like the rest of world when it comes to gardening,” said Rayburn. “A lot of people here are struggling with adapting to a new environment. Having moved several times myself, I can understand how frustrating that is, so it’s fun to make that connection and provide them with some guidance.” Amanda Tuliper, a military spouse who attended the class, said she wanted to learn some techniques for vegetable gardening because she

was tired of buying tomatoes for $5 a batch. Gardening has proven to be very useful throughout all of history. During World War I and World War II, American families planted victory gardens to reduce the pressure on national food supply caused by the wars. “I think that (gardening) is something that everyone should know,” said Gunnery Sgt. Anthony Pamintuan, logistics support chief with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 26, Marine Aircraft Group 26, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. “I think it is always good to be able to grow your own food and be self sufficient, SEE GARDEN 7D

Robert Royster looks at old photographs of his family and friends (left) and his sixth grade class displayed as part of the Onslow County Museum’s newest exhibit, “Remembering Camp Lejeune: The Forties” during the grand opening, Saturday.

MUSEUM FROM 1D Onslow County residents were in the midst of the Great Depression when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed off on the purchase and development of the area. “It’s hard for us to imagine how dramatically life changed (during that time),” noted Whitman-Grice. “Jacksonville went from a fishing and agrarian community to suddenly having the world here.” Thousands upon thousands of acres of land were bought by the U.S. government, and more than 650 local families were displaced, leaving some with no where to go. “It was challenging,” Whitman-Grice said. “Many of those families had lived here for generations. It wasn’t without its difficulties.” However, with a base to build, many of the original landowners were able to secure construction jobs during a time when employment was hard

to come by in other areas of the country. “To have this opportunity for job growth was amazing,” she added. Ground was broken for MCB Camp Lejeune in 1941, and by 1943 the plans for the self-sufficient community was already completed. “I was shocked at how fast the base was constructed,” Hughey admitted. “It was unbelievable.” In the midst of the brutal and fatal war, the Marine Corps wasted no time, aggressively training its fighting force in ground tactics, amphibious assaults and air raids. However, in their research, the museum workers found that the maneuvers still taught today were not the only disciplines being taught. “Everything was being tried,” said Whitman-Grice. A barrage balloon squadron was activated and trained at Courthouse Bay. According to the exhibit, tthe balloons were used to “deter low-flying enemy aaircraft by damaging them with their heavy cables or fforcing the attackers to fly at a higher altitude, thus red ducing target accuracy.” The program was deactivated by 1943 due to the change in objectives in the Pacific. b MCB Camp Lejeune’s mission also included glider iinstruction, parachute training and the infamous, aalbeit short-lived, war dog program. “Those dogs were a huge part of the Marine Corps fforce (during the war),” Whitman-Grice stated. ““They were used as scouts on patrol, and they carried m medicine and messages. They were beloved by their h handlers.” Hughey, who captured the story through countless h hours of researching and collecting artifacts, left no sstone unturned, highlighting not only the little known ffacts of Camp Lejeune, but also stories that have aalready been told. “I think (the exhibit is) a great way to learn more aabout base,” said Andrea Guyette, the museum’s iintern. “I like reading about the women Marines. It’s iinteresting that they would join.” Because of a nationwide recruiting campaign aaimed at women to “free a Marine to fight,” more tthan 19,000 were trained as Marines at MCB Camp L Lejeune during WWII. “Patriotism didn’t know gender and these women w wanted to be a part of this force – the espirit de ccorps,” Whitman-Grice explained. “They did everytthing. They were mechanics, tower operators, office sstaff, whatever was needed.” Montford Point, the training ground for the first

African-American Marines, also has its own display with pictures, patches and even old discharge papers. A quote from Edgar R. Huff, one of the first African-American drill instructors, hangs on the wall perfectly describing the motivation of most Marines at the time. “I wanted to be a Marine because I had always heard the Marine Corps was the toughest outfit going, and I thought I was the toughest outfit going, so I wanted to be a member of the toughest organization,” he once said. Years of planning and months of intensive research led Whitman-Grice to a reflective conclusion. “Camp Lejeune was a carefully planned dream that turn into the real thing,” she said. She and Hughey have high hopes for the exhibit and are looking forward to many new visitors discovering the county’s museum. “We consider what we do a privilege and an honor to share stories with future generations,” said Whitman-Grice. “We take it seriously. (We hope) they’ll walk away knowing more about the base, the diverse activities and the legacy that has been handed down.” Hughey pointed out the transient quality of the community. “We have a lot of people who are here temporarily,” she said. “It would enhance their stay if they knew about the place they are living. They need to know there is a museum in Onslow County and that it includes them as well. We always want to tell the stories.” Whitman-Grice assures future visitors of all ages will learn something. “We want to make it engaging to everyone from the Marine who was stationed here to our young families who are just now making it their home,” she stated. “We have a lot of parents of active-duty Marines who come. It is an opportunity to learn about the place their children were trained.” “Remembering Camp Lejeune: The Forties” will be on display until June. The Onslow County Museum exhibit gallery is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for children 3 to 18 years old. Children younger than 3 years old may visit for free. For more information, call 324-5008 or visit www.onslowcountync.gov/museum.

“Not at all typical of the dreary alikeness and bleak disposition of many such Government emergency measures, it is a carefully planned dream that turned into the real thing – suggesting that this was perhaps what the perfectionist had in mind when he first got the idea.” The Camp Lejeune Globe, July 25, 1946, in an article about Midway Park

Stephanie Geraghty poses with her family after competing in the Run for the Warriors Race in 2011. Geraghty is a finalist for Marine Corps Spouse of the Year for her efforts in creating Stroller Warriors, a running club for military moms.

Stroller warrior runs for Marine Corps Spouse of the Year AMY BINKLEY

Assistant managing editor

Women wear many different hats. They are daughters, sisters, wives, mothers and friends. Their resumes shine with experience as cooks, counselors, chauffeurs and more. Alone, they are strong. Together they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be stopped. Stephanie Geraghty runs a band of these women warriors multiple times a week all while pushing a stroller. She is an innovator, an encourager, a leader â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and she is a finalist for Marine Corps Spouse of the Year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was completely surprised and humbled when I found out I was a finalist,â&#x20AC;? Geraghty admitted. Her nominators were not. As the creator of Stroller Warriors, a running and fitness club for military moms, Geraghty has gone above and beyond the call of duty as a military spouse focusing her efforts toward offering other spouses an opportunity to stay healthy, to foster friendships and create stronger families and to provide a means for community outreach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls are extremely passionate about the club,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Besides my husband and my mom, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re my strongest supporters.â&#x20AC;? Geraghty began Stroller Warriors in 2010 when she and her family were stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. What began as a way to connect with other moms who enjoyed running has now become a force to be reckoned with on the racing circuit with more than 300 local members and a total of 450 members worldwide.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is quite possibly the most positive and encouraging group Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been a part of in my life,â&#x20AC;? Geraghty noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never a negative word uttered, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have their challenges or bad days. They are so incredibly supportive of each other whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with running goals, dealing with deployments or even death. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there for each other no matter what.â&#x20AC;? Exhorting her fellow members comes naturally, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her selfless nature and others-focused mindset that sparked her numerous nominations for the award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Geraghty) doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just care about others,â&#x20AC;? wrote one nominator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She takes action not only by herself but by organizing others to action to make a greater difference.â&#x20AC;? Another nomination recognized her as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;selfless leader, strong wife, mother and truly an inspiration.â&#x20AC;? While she would be honored to be named Marine Corps Spouse of the Year, Geraghty hopes a win would mean more exposure for the club, which already has chapters in Okinawa and New Orleans, with plans to start one at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the award would afford me the opportunity to spread the word about Stroller Warriors and move forward toward the goal of implementing the program on every military base,â&#x20AC;? Geraghty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It provides the girls with a home before they even arrive.â&#x20AC;? She explained how the military lifestyle means expecting to move every few

GARDEN FROM 3D instead of having to always rely on a supermarket.â&#x20AC;? After the class, more than half of the attendees spoke to Rayburn about their gardens. Rayburn offered handouts on the specifics needed for a list of vegetables and fruits, and she also asked those who attended her class to contact her if they had any further questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find it very enjoyable and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fulfilling because, for a lot of people, from just a little bit of talking, we can tweak and figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in their garden,â&#x20AC;? said Rayburn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a simple thing to be able to come in and solve somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gardening problem. (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to show them) the direction and see them have the enjoyment of knowing that they can make it work.â&#x20AC;? The class provided much of the basic essentials to gardening, such as the proper way to set up raised gardens, how

years and how hard it can be to get plugged in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stroller Warriors can make the transition so much easier,â&#x20AC;? she stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They already share a common goal and interest with other military moms. If we could establish this at every base, just think of what we could accomplish.â&#x20AC;? In eight years of marriage, Geraghty has seen her husband deploy five times while she stayed and took care of their two young sons. When her youngest son was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, a condition that could keep him from ever walking, while her husband was gone, Geraghty did what she did best. She stayed focused, researched and accepted the help and support of her club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together we laugh, we cry, we overcome and we run,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We chose to do this. We felt called to this lifestyle and mission and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to do it. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love being away from our spouses, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to endure for the greater cause.â&#x20AC;? With two wins already under their belt, the Marine Corps has another strong runner in the race, and she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made for losing. Voting for the Marine Corps Spouse of the Year will be held until midnight Feb. 3. The winner of each branch of service will then go on to compete for Military Spouse of the Year. To vote, visit msoy.milspouse.com. For more information on Stroller Warriors, e-mail stephgeraghty@gmail. com or find them on Facebook.

to pick, where to position, when to put a plant in the garden and how to determine the right soil content. Rayburn said not understanding the basics can make gardening more difficult than it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a few raised beds, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always struggled with a few of the vegetables,â&#x20AC;? said Pamintuan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, I think that we figured out why, thanks to (Rayburn).â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She gave me the answers I needed,â&#x20AC;? added Tuliper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can expect to see me at the next gardening class.â&#x20AC;? The Gardening 101 class was in correlation with the cooking theme for the adult reading program hosted by the Harriotte B. Smith Library. For more information on this event, call 451-3026.
