Temperatures rose in the desert as Afghan National Army soldiers with 4th Kandak, 1st Brigade, 215th Corps, recently fired their first artillery rounds in Helmand province since their unit was formed in May. The soldiers began their artillery training at the Kabul Military Training Center and, upon graduating, fell under the mentorship of Marines with the Combat Support Advisory Team attached to 1st Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, and select Marines with Battery C, 1st Battalion, 12th Marines.

The CSAT has worked side-by-side with the Afghan artillerymen since May to get the soldiers ready for their live-fire shoot. The ANA knew how to process a fire

mission when the two military forces first met, but the Marines offered to increase their proficiency and skill. One of the biggest improvements made was in the Fire Direction Center, where Marines compute a target’s range, direction and precise target location when a request for fire support comes in.

“In terms of the FDC, we wanted to bring their mission processing time down,” said 2nd Lt. Bradley Naert, an adviser with the CSAT. “It was taking them roughly 10 to 15 minutes to process a mission and have the data ready after receiving a call for fire.

Now they are down to six minutes, so that is a big success.”

The advisers often had no translators to instruct the ANA soldiers and had to learn Dari in order to teach them.

When translators were

available, the mentors found it best to teach them in order to better describe it to the ANA members. The Afghan soldiers seemed excited and motivated to learn a new skill, whether taught

by Marines or through translators.

“When we trained the ANA, they were excited and paid attention to the training,” said Staff Sgt. Mitchell H. Hamilton, an adviser with the CSAT. “They learned and caught on very quickly.

Even with the lack of interpreters at times, it was amazing to see how fast they caught on.”

The soldiers put their new skills to the test during their first shoot in the Afghan desert. The first day the ANA and Marines arrived at the training area and began setting up the four sovietmade 122-mm howitzer D-30 artillery cannons.

Excitement erupted

from the soldiers as they saw all of their training pay off. The day ended on a high note, leading to more anticipation and shooting for the second day.

Jabari N. Thompson, and Seaman Apprentice Aaron D. Ullom, during a memorial service aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 5.

The service members, who were all a part of 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, gave the ultimate sacrifice during the battalion’s most recent deployment to Afghanistan.

INSIDE THE GLOBE

The ceremony consisted of readings from scripture, personal reflections from the Marines who knew their brothers best, and a final roll call, which was carried out by Sgt. Maj. Dennis Downing, the battalion sergeant major.

Each Marine was honored with the traditional battlefield memorial cross, a statue of a rifle, combat boots and identification tags, symbolizing their sacrifice and time honored traditions of the Marine Corps.

Next to each of the statues stood a portrait by which their fellow Marines could remember the faces of the men who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

those Marines particularly special.

One testimonial was especially emotional. Staff Sgt. Jason A. Rodgers was remembered by his platoon commander as being a great Marine and an even better comrade.

“I was fortunate enough to be able to call him my friend. Anyone who knew him understands what I say when I tell you he had a way of putting you at ease,” said 1st Lt. Will Riordon, platoon commander, Company C, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines. “He would make you laugh and then get his point across.”

Another Marine’s actions that were remembered

The Marine Corps has a new centralized command system for its regional commands, according to Marine Administration Message 575/11. The new command, Marine Corps Installations Command, went into effect Oct. 1 and was activated during the General Officer Symposium yesterday.

MCICOM, located in the installations and logistics department at Headquarters Marine Corps in Washington, D.C., will take command of three subordinate regional commands: Marine Corps Installations East, Marine Corps Installations West and Marine Corps Installations Pacific.

The activation of the new command comes in response to a review group ordered by the commandant in 2010 to study the roles and responsibilities of the Marine Corps and the structure necessary to support those ends.

The review group deemed the creation of MCICOM necessary to serve as the sole command responsible for all installation matters. The aim of this unified command system is to better increase the management and operations of the installations with a clarification of authority and responsibility.

In addition, MCICOM will work to standardize all installation functions as far as possible across the Marine Corps with hopes of better supporting the warfighting mission.

To increase cohesion, all commanding generals from MCIEAST, MCIWEST and MCIPAC relocated to MCICOM in Washington, D.C.

FORWARD OPERATING BASE DELARAM II, AFGHANISTAN

RCT-8 seeks Marine feedback at NCO Symposium STAFF SGT. RYAN SMITH

Regimental Combat Team 8

A

contingent of noncommissioned officers gathered at Forward Operating Base Delaram II, Afghanistan recently to discuss lessons learned from their experiences on the battlefield.

From every unit across the Regimental Combat Team 8 battle space, the Marines converged on the regimental headquarters for the first RCT-8 NCO Symposium recently.

The Marines shared some of their experiences concerning different topics ranging from countering improvised explosive devices to working in a counterinsurgency situation.

“There are all kinds of lessons learned, (techniques, tactics and procedures) and best practices,” said Sgt. Maj. David Jobe, RCT-8 sergeant major. “I feel my job as a senior enlisted leader is to make sure we are sharing information throughout the battle space.”

Sitting around a large conference table, each of the 16 attendees took their turn addressing successes and failures in how they go about the business of securing their areas. Each topic was open for discussion amongst the group and ideas poured into the air.

“It’s really interesting to hear what (others) are dealing with and the things I can bring back to my unit,” said Cpl. James Leitch, a team leader with Company C, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. “This has been a great learning experience. It’s been awesome meeting some of the other NCOs and learning how they do things.”

These NCOs will normally see only limited areas of the district their battalions operate in over the course of a deployment. The insurgent knows this and will use it to his advantage.

Meetings such as this keep the small-unit leaders informed as to the enemy’s newest tactics in other areas.

“I thought it was extremely informative just to have everybody together,” said Leitch. “I primarily deal with the ‘brown zone’ where there are lots of IEDs, but I’m sitting across the table from a guy who isn’t dealing with as many IEDs, but it’s kinetic all the time.”

The discussion primarily focused on tactics and procedures as well as the use of military working dogs and the use of counterinsurgency operations.

“In the past two days, I’ve learned about errors I’ve been making,” said Cpl. Paul Chambers, a squad leader for Company B, 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, RCT-8. “Some things I’ve been omitting from patrols.

There are different thought patterns from guys in our neighboring sectors from 1st Battalion, 5th Marines where they talked about their compounds and the way they look at compounds.

In my (area of operations), we might not go into compounds because there’s no need. If we have a safer manner to go in there, a procedure that has been used in other AOs, why not use it?”

The symposium also opened their eyes to realizing not all of the units represented were infantry battalions. Battery E, 2nd Battalion, 12th Marines is filling a role as an infantry company even though their Marines come from an artillery background and includes patrols with individuals from all walks in the Corps.

“Echo 2nd Battalion, 12th Marines has proven it … they’re a cannon battery running around just like grunts,” said Chambers. “There’s a wireman, a (communications) guy and (motor-transport) personnel in the symposium. They’re doing things in just the same manner as grunts do.

“As particular as grunts like to be about what we do on the deck, and say ‘Hey, that’s my job; you do your thing,’ we all know that sometimes you get thrown in positions you’re not prepared for because that’s not your job specifically,” said Chambers.

Cpl. Paul Chambers, a squad leader with Company B, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 8, makes a point during the Noncommissioned Officer’s symposium recently. The two-day symposium was designed to collect ideas from NCOs from units serving in Northern Helmand province.

“With this type of environment and how you can just get tossed into something, everyone should be cross trained to an extent. You should be a master of your trade but a jack of all trades. (You) should still come up the Marine Corps way.”

Overall, the lesson being taught wasn’t lost on one single topic during the nine-hour discussion.

“Keep an open mind to what other people are doing,” said Leitch. “Don’t get into the mindset of what I’m doing is the right thing. My opinion has been changed about a lot of different things we’ve been doing, just hearing what different units have been successful in, and their failures as well, and having them critique what I’m doing.

“That diversity of experience helps round me out to be a better NCO and Marine,” added Leitch.

The symposium was deemed a success by the Marines involved and they hope to return to their unit equipped with the

“I definitely got a lot out of this, and I’m going to bring it all back,” said Chambers. “I hope to share this information amongst the platoon and throughout the

company. From the company commanders down, it should be seen by all. All Marines should see what’s going on throughout (the area) and every one trained up and down with what we are talking about here.”

HELMAND PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN

Pinjadoo another success story in Nawa CPL. TOMMY BELLEGARDE Regimental Combat Team 8

The Pinjadoo Bazaar was already buzzing – hundreds of Nawa District residents were out selling and trading goods, conducting business on what seemed like a normal day. The already energetic atmosphere became even more excited when Nawa District’s governor, Haji Abdul Manaf, arrived on scene. A small crowd gathered around the governor as he shook hands and talked to people.

Afghan Uniformed Police patrolmen and Marines with Company C, 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Reg-

iment, Regimental Combat Team 8, escorted the district governor through the Pinjadoo Bazaar as he interacted with citizens during a recent visit to view the progress the village is making to promote commerce and stability in the area.

The crowd following the governor around the bazaar grew steadily as more and more people joined him.

“He’s got a unique ability to connect with his citizens and spread the positive message of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan,” said Capt. Jason Goodale, the commanding officer of Company C, 1st Battalion, 9th Marines. “I thought the

governor was well-received and very pleased to be among his people.”

The people have every reason to appreciate their district governor. Nawa has been a shining example of success in Helmand province during the past two years, ousting a visible insurgency and installing legitimate government officials like Manaf, among others. Pinjadoo has greatly benefitted from the area’s prosperity, and today its bazaar is a major center of commerce within the district.

“Everybody’s glad. Everybody’s happy,” said Manaf. “I haven’t seen anybody (who is) going to come up to me (and) complain.”

Manaf also took the opportunity to visit the adjacent Pinjadoo AUP precinct and a school in the village. Manaf, Goodale and the local AUP commander discussed the progress in Pinjadoo and future plans while drinking chai at the precinct.

“The governor reminisced about his mujahedeen days and some of the fighting that occurred in the Pinjadoo area around the bazaar (in the past),” said Goodale. “We also discussed the fact that he wants to build a new high school in Pinjadoo on the backside of the bazaar and talked about his vision for that, as well as education as a whole in Nawa.”

Education, a privilege some Americans may take for granted, is lacking in many areas of Helmand province. Only 34 percent of Afghans are literate, and only 28 percent of children are enrolled in secondary school. Manaf wants to make sure his citizens are getting a good education – both boys and girls.

“There are still some things that (need) to happen in Nawa. We need to be honest about that,” said Manaf. “For example, we don’t have any girls’ school.

If you’re talking about democracy, there has to be girls’ school, as well.”

Manaf ’s final stop was at a school in Pinjadoo where classes were packed with

young boys. The students were hard at work when their district governor paid a visit.

Nawa has certainly come a long way in two years: a bustling bazaar, a legitimate and competent police force, and classrooms filled with Afghanistan’s youth would have been unfathomable as late as 2009.

“I think the situation (in Nawa) is pretty good,” said Goodale. “We’ve got a strong government. We have rapidly developing and strong security forces within Nawa. We’ve got a very hard-working populace that is dedicated and devoted to the future of not only Nawa, but Afghanistan.”

28th Beirut Observance Ceremony The 28th Beirut Observance Ceremony will be held at the Beirut Memorial Oct. 23, at 2 p.m.

Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, is scheduled to deliver the Beirut Memorial address.

Retiree Corner with Randy Reichler

Things to know about retirement, divorce Divorce is a challenge in anyone’s life, but occurs to more than 50 percent of married couples.

The retired family is occasionally faced with this sad dilemma. Counseling service is available for couples with relationship problems. Mental health care is also available for depression and other illnesses associated with potential divorce issues. Chaplain services can provide some assistance to couples. Even with these assets and tools, the divorce may proceed. The base legal service is available for consultation but not representation in court.

A spouse married less than 20 consecutive years while the member was on active duty will lose the identification card and benefits.

If they were married to the member for 20 years and at least 15 years of that was during their active duty time, they may request to retain the ID and medical benefits for up to one year. There are categories distinguished by amounts of service time for former spouses, which delineates what is available for a former spouse.

The Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act allows state courts to consider military retired pay as divisible property in divorce settlements after June 25, 1981. It also establishes procedures by which a former

spouse could receive all or a portion of the court settlement as direct payment from the finance service center. The law does not direct state courts to divide retired pay; it permits them to.

The law stipulates that only “disposable” pay may be divided. Disposable pay is defined as pay other than: debts owed the government, amounts of retired pay waived for receipt of VA disability, Veteran Service Life Insurance premiums or Survivor Benefit Plan cost for a former spouse receiving USFSPA. A divorce decree must clearly state the percentage of pay to be withheld and paid to the former spouse. The percentage may not be above 50 percent of the disposable retired pay, with the exception of arrears of payment. For additional information on USFSPA, contact the base legal department.

7th ESB drives Helmand River causeway completion SGT. JUSTIN SHEMANSKI 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

A causeway continues to extend across Helmand River thanks in large part to the continued efforts of Marines assigned to 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward).

The unit has made daily trips to the site over the last three weeks, each time hauling several metric tons of rubble to form the foundation of the growing peninsula. The compacted cement and dirt mixture will serve as a base to launch a forthcoming bridge that will span the remainder of the river.

“This will open an alternate ground route,” said Capt. Charles Hunt, the company commander for Company C, 7th ESB. The new route will af-

ford troops operating in the region with a safer route to areas northwest of Forward Operating Base Sabit Qadam, noted Hunt.

“It’s really going to help us push forward once it’s completed,” said Cpl. Carlos Sanchez, a heavy equipment mechanic with Support Co., 7th ESB, who, along with a detachment of others, is attached to FOB Sabit Qadam to liaison with the Marines who arrive with rubble-laden trucks each day.

The project consists of five phases – the development of the far and nearside approaches to the river made up phases one and two, with the third being the completion of the causeway itself. Phase four will be the launching of a medium-girder bridge from the edge of the causeway to the far side of the river and the project

will culminate as the roadways are developed into one network.

Recently, phase three was just mere feet from completion.

“Every day for the last three weeks these guys have run this route to make this project happen and they’ve done an outstanding job,” said Hunt. “It’s really turned into a joint effort though.”

Hunt noted that in addition to his own 7th ESB Marines, Combat Logistics Battalion 6, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4 Seabees and Marine Wing Support Squadron 272 all played an instrumental role in completing the causeway.

On top of providing trucks to assist with hauling the debris to the site, some units even provided extra manpower.

Wheat seed distribution gives hope to Helmand Afghans CPL. KATHERINE M. SOLANO 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

For decades now, Afghan locals have been relying on a crop cycle of poppy and cannabis to provide income and a stable livelihood for their families.

According to the United Nations, profits from the narcotics trade are directly linked to the insurgency in Afghanistan, creating $155 million in revenue in 2009, while Afghanistan supplies roughly 90 percent of the world’s opium.

It is the mission of the Helmand Provincial Reconstruction Team’s counter-narcotics cell to give

the local populace an alternative to the drug trade by way of wheat and vegetable crops.

For the previous three years, the PRT has been conducting seed and fertilizer distribution efforts in Helmand province. The program, initiated by the Helmand provincial governor, Golab Mangal, has touched the lives of more than 40,000 farmers and their families this year, according to Maj. William Bye, a key developer in the wheat seed distribution program with the PRT in Lashkar Gah. By promoting the harvest of legitimate food crops, the PRT looks to drastically reduce the effects of

the heroin drug trade in the area, which currently affects nearly 100,000 citizens in Helmand province alone.

“Everybody in Helmand knows somebody who is addicted or has a family member themselves who is addicted,” Bye said.

“They’ve seen the devastating effect it has on those individuals. They are also reasonably well educated in the fact that the insurgency gains a lot of their income from poppy and from the opium trade. They’re aware that the insurgency is killing them and is making their freedom of movement difficult. So on the whole, they generally do not want to grow poppy. They are

receptive to persuasion to grow something else, if they’ve got the security and the freedom of movement to do so.”

It has been the joint efforts of the combat forces of Regional Command (Southwest), the Afghan Uniformed Police and the Afghan National Army to provide locals with this security and peace of mind over the last four years while the counter-narcotics cell implemented the project.

Bye also pointed out the far-reaching effects the poppy crops have on the international drug trade.

He emphasized the importance of giving Afghans a lifestyle alternative to stabilize the country in order to positively affect the rest of the world.

“Heroin from Afghani-

stan is found routinely on the streets in Europe and in America,” he said. “Where there are illicit drugs, there is always violence and crime associated with it. If we can reduce the amount of heroin that is flowing into our markets, then we can work on reducing the crime that is found at home.”

According to Bye, over the past four years, the program has spread to 11 surrounding districts. The most recent district to become involved was Kajaki.

Up until Kajaki joined the distribution efforts, the seed had been delivered solely by ground movements.

However, Kajaki can only be reached by air.

The 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward) was called upon to provide logistical support for the first

air delivery of the seed and fertilizer to Kajaki. Staff Sgt. Jason Skaggs, the 2nd MLG (Fwd.) transportation coordinator, assisted in the movements of the wheat seed from Lashkar Gah, where it is held in large warehouses, to Kajaki. Thirty-four warehouse pallets weighing a total of 21 metric tons will be delivered over the course of the next several weeks.

Skaggs weighed in on the benefits of promoting wheat and other crops over the harvest of poppy.

“Wheat can provide income and food, whereas poppy is a cash crop that is made into an illegal drug, causing instability due to its addictive nature,” he said. “Poppy will only degrade the Afghanistan culture further.”

24th Marine Expeditionary Unit activates for training, deployment CAPT. ROBERT SHUFORD

24th Marine Expeditionary Unit

The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit held an activation ceremony recently aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s W.P.T. Hill Field, officially signaling the unit’s preparation for deployment as the unit grew from its standing headquarters of approximately 100 Marines and sailors to a Marine AirGround Task Force of 2,200 as the 24th MEU took charge of its three major subordinate elements.

The activation formally launches an intensive six-month pre-deployment training cycle designed to prepare the 24th MEU for a host of possible missions ranging from full-scale combat to disaster relief.

Joining the 24th MEU command element for the next year are its designated air, ground and logistics components; Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261, Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 2th Marine Regiment, and Combat Logistics Battalion 24.

During the ceremony, each of the newly joined units participated in a formation, then set up various

displays of equipment, vehicles and weapons for family and friends to learn about the MEU team.

“Today we officially formed our team – a team of our various Marine units, our team with the Navy, and most importantly with our families who are joining the MEU,” said Col. Frank Donovan, 24th MEU’s commanding officer.

The 24th MEU will conduct a variety of exercises over the next six months with their Navy counterpart Amphibious Squadron 8, commonly called PHIBRON 8, which is made up of three amphibious assault ships; USS Iwo Jima, USS New York and USS Gunston Hall. The Marines will be embarked on these ships and deploy with PHIBRON 8 sometime early next year.

The 24th MEU last deployed from January to August 2010. During this time 24th MEU participated in earthquake relief efforts in Haiti during Operation Unified Response, deployed to the Central Command area of operations and participated in numerous training exercises and theater security cooperation events with partnered countries through-

out the Middle East and Djibouti, Africa. In the Mediterranean, the 24th MEU participated in liberty port calls in Italy, Croatia, Turkey, Greece and Spain.

The ceremony served as a chance to educate friends and families of 24th MEU about what they can expect over the coming months and through their deployment.

“This was a great opportunity to showcase what a MEU is and to help our families visualize and gain an understanding of the uniqueness of a MEU,” said Donovan.

“I’m very thankful so many family members were here.”

Donovan assumed command of the unit in May. The subordinate element commanders are: Lt. Col. David B. Sosa, commanding officer, BLT 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines; Lt. Col. Brian C. Smith Jr., commanding officer VMM-261 (Reinforced) and Lt. Col. Daniel J. Bradley, commanding officer, CLB-24.

The first major exercise 24th MEU will conduct at sea is called PHIBRON-MEU Integration, or PMINT, and is scheduled to run the last two weeks of October into the first week of November.

Operation Adrenaline Rush helps service members relieve stress CPL. ED GALO

2nd Marine Division

Marines with 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division were the first group to participate in a pilot program coordinated by Marine Corps Community Services called Operation Adrenaline Rush, recently.

Operation Adrenaline Rush is a program geared toward units that are just returning from a deployment

in order to help them adjust to being home again.

The idea behind this program is to give Marines and sailors an opportunity to participate in extreme sports as a way to relieve stress. The participants get an adrenaline rush similar to the kind they receive in combat, but in a controlled environment.

The Marines began the day riding buses to the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, N.C. Once

there, they participated in outdoor sports such as whitewater rafting, rock climbing, mounting climbing and different rope courses.

“I think this program was a great idea,” said Cpl. Thomas Kerley, a liaison with Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 10th Marines.

“It was a lot of fun. I really like the whole theory of having an adrenaline rush.

I have a bike and I ride it all the time - it’s therapeutic for me.”

“It’s different than talking to a counselor,” continued Kerley. “This program is a good alternative to me.”

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma are the only two installations conducting the pilot program as of right now, but many hope that the program stays around and spreads throughout the Marine Corps.

“We were offered this opportunity by MCCS,” said

Sgt. Maj. Juan Alvarado, the battalion sergeant major for 1st Battalion, 10th Marines.

“We brought them to an environment outside of work or the field for a day so that they can experience some excitement. “I think it’s a great program and I can’t wait to hear what the Marines thought about it,” said Alvarado. “The Marines were definitely eager to be a part of this program. I think the benefits will be great.”

Another point the pro-

gram stressed besides postdeployment operational stress control was unit cohesion and “esprit de corps” by having the Marines work together during the events.

“This program was definitely ‘outside the box,’” said Lance Cpl. Jeromy Joye, legal clerk with Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 10th Marines.

“I would absolutely do it again and recommend it to any Marines who get the opportunity to do this.”

Marjah residents wait in a staging area to see a local physician during a free medical clinic at the Paham Chareh Bazaar. A local Afghan physician, Doctor Habivulah, along with other medical professionals, assessed and treated 247 Marjah residents during the clinic.

Afghan government hosts health clinic for Marjah residents SGT. EARNEST J. BARNES 2nd Marine Division (Forward)

Local representatives of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and service members with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (Forward) hosted a medical clinic at the Paham Chareh Bazaar, recently.

Doctor Habivulah, a local Afghan physician; along with a midwife, two medical sergeants with the 4th Tolai, 3rd Kandak, 4th Brigade, 215th Corps, and several Navy corpsmen with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines; assessed and treated 247 Marjah residents.

“The health initiative (allowed local residents to) gain trust in their local physicians.

Medical education was a little slacked (during the rule of the insurgency), so a big problem that medical providers have is (the people) feel (the doctors) are not well educated,” said Navy Lt. Robert Sklar, the battalion surgeon for 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines. “What we do with these medical initiatives is get them set up, advertised and out to the people. (Local residents) come for the free health care, and they get introduced to the doctors.

(They) see that these doctors are able to treat them.

It helps them build trust in their own government and medical system."

At approximately 5:30

a.m., Afghan National Security Force members and Marines arrived at the bazaar to clear the area, set up security checkpoints and set up areas for screening the incoming patients. The lines started to form outside the bazaar just as the set-up was complete.

Members from the Afghan Local Police and Afghan National Army searched incoming patients for the security of everyone seeking medical attention, according to Staff Sgt. Ali Abass, a soldier with the 4th Tolai. The ANA soldiers, members of the ALP, and the Marines directed the men, women and children into their respective waiting areas.

“One medic was the director showing people where to go, and the other was with the (corpsmen) and the adviser,” said Ali Abass. “My medics (want more) experience, so they worked with the corpsmen to gain experience. We get a lot of experience when we work together as a team.”

Another group of caregiving service members who helped with the clinic was the Female Engagement Team with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, who screened females and children prior to them receiving care from the midwife.

Additionally, the FET gave hygiene classes to the children to teach them how to properly brush their teeth and care for their bodies.

The children were all smiles when they left with new toothbrushes and small hygiene items.

One hundred fourteen men, 54 women and 79 children received treatment for everything from stomachaches to burns during the four-hour long clinic.

“There were a lot of (gastrointestinal) complaints, acid reflux, muscle pains, and aches,” said Sklar.

“We had one child that was struck by a car four days ago and had testicular trauma.

Hopefully he moves up to a higher echelon of care. We cleaned it up, but he needs to get to a hospital and his father was well aware of that.”

Sklar said some of the patients with more serious cases were evaluated and then recommended to seek more advanced medical care at the hospital in Lashkar Gah, Helmand province, due to the limited medical supplies and lack of advanced medical equipment available on site. The clinic brought to light the importance of seeking medical attention when needed instead of allowing any condition to grow worse, added Sklar.

“This has got them started with the health care they

It helps them with their education in realizing their health care is important and helps them realize what needs to be followed up on and what does not,” said Sklar. “They are gaining awareness and the trust in the local doctors.”

The residents were grateful for the treatment they received and let all involved in the medical clinic know how much they ap-

preciated the care.

Abdul Halik, a Marjah resident, said clinics like this help because people are too poor to afford medical care.

“This is very good to help us,” said Abdul Halik. “We

are very happy. This is good process for us.”

This was the third medical initiative 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines has been involved with since they arrived in Afghanistan.

Veterans leave lasting impression on Lejeune Marines CPL. WALTER D. MARINO II

2nd Marine Division

Vietnam veterans from various infantry battalions gathered for a reunion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Friday. During their visit, the gentlemen were familiarized with the humvee and M-777 howitzer by junior Marines.

When it was time for the display of equipment, the former Marines jumped at the opportunity to interact with the junior enlisted.

Cpl. Richard M. Stewart, assistant howitzer chief, 5th Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, was present to answer any questions about the weapon systems and interact with the former Marines who had come to Lejeune for the reunion.

“It was a really motivating experience for me,” said Stewart. “I’m a third generation Marine and I really enjoyed meeting the old veterans because it lets me know about the Marines before me. I think it’s extremely important for things like this to occur. The Marine Corps bases so much of itself off

of its history. This is history right in front of your face – veterans letting you know about their life in the Corps.”

One retired sergeant major with silver hair and a twinkle to his eye, spoke of the past and present of the Marine Corps.

“I have worked with some phenomenal Marines. Our platoon sergeants that we had back in the days were all World War II veterans and they trained us well. There’s no doubt in my military mind it saved my bacon several times in Vietnam,” said Lew Izard. “You talk to each of these guys and you can get a story of how they feel and what they did and how they contributed. Some of them were machine gunners, some of them were mortarmen, some of them were squad leaders – I’ve served in all of those billets and I had a ball doing it.”

Numerous junior Marines laughed and appeared fascinated at what the veterans had to say.

“There have been dramatic and great changes in the Corps,” said Izard.

“These Marines have continued to carry on the legacy that’s left by former Marines and just make it

There’s no other military force in the world that can hold a candle to our Corps. I’m pretty proud of that.”

As the veterans boarded

their buses to leave, it was evident the engagement filled the Marines like Stewart with pride and motivation to continue the legacy of the Corps.

“His passion was a hallmark of how he lived his life,” said Capt. Michael J. Mulvaney, commanding officer, Company I, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines. “We all knew him as this goofy guy who was just as happy in the field as sitting in front of his TV watching NASCAR.” The reflections were followed by remarks from the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Christopher G. Dixon, several prayers for those who had perished and Taps.

“Many may call what we have a team,” said Mulvaney. “But it’s not. When you live together, sleep together, laugh with each other – you’re not a team; you’re brothers.”

most,” said Stewart. “To be honest I think it’s one of the best sources of motivation a young Marine can get. I think they should do this more often.”

Staff Sgt. Mitchell H. Hamilton, an adviser with the Combat Support Advisory Team attached to 1st Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, shows an Afghan National Army soldier with 4th Kandak, 1st Brigade, 215th Corps, how to use a compass to mark the position of artillery cannons. Hamilton has advised the ANA unit since its formation in May. ARTILLERY FROM 1A have learned,” said Afghan Sgt. Mowladad Wafa, a recorder with one of the gun sections.

“I was happy to hit the target – so far we’ve had a successful shoot.”

The second day of firing began early. The ANA soldiers gathered around the gun line, polishing their drill movements in anticipation for the arrival of the kandak commander and brigade general. They spent the afternoon and evening sending rounds downrange, increasing their proficiency and becoming more confident with the weapon system.

“Artillery allows the ANA to provide that long-range fire when one of their friendly units comes under attack,” said Capt. Mitchell Moore, the commanding officer for Battery C, 1st Battalion, 12th Marines. “When the Unites States reduces (its) presence here, (the ANA) need to have that capability so when they operate outside the wire, they have that comfort umbrella of knowing wherever they are they have an ANA brother who can provide fire support.”

The ANA soldiers’ confidence began to show as they became more comfortable using the howitzers at the end of the second day of firing. Enthusiasm kept spirits high, and the Afghan soldiers showed they were capable and ready to perform for their leadership.

The final day of firing arrived and when the kandak commander and brigade general arrived, the Afghan soldiers snapped to attention, ready to demonstrate the full capabilities of the weapon system. The soldiers manned the gun line waiting for a fire mission from the forward observers, ANA soldiers placed downrange who call in targets. The Afghan soldiers executed properly when the call for fire came and, after being verified by their Marine mentors, the soldiers sent another volley of rounds into the air, eagerly seeking their targets.

The leadership was pleased with the demonstration, and the Marines said the training evolution was a success.

“The ANA are out here self supporting,” said Moore. “We are offering advice and support. However, this is an Afghan-led training evolution. That is a real success from where we started when they weren’t sure of themselves and lacked confidence. Out here you see that confidence growing and the capability that goes with that.”

arines finished training the first-ever Afghan Protective Security Detail class at the Joint Sustainment Academy Southwest, Camp Leatherneck, Helmand province, recently.

The PSD course taught the attending Afghan security forces how to provide personal security for high profile officials, similar to the role U.S. Secret Service details provide for American government officials.

“Assassinations of political and military leaders are common in Afghanistan, which deteriorates the security for Helmand province,” said Robert Josleyn, an instructor and curriculum developer for the PSD course. “This course teaches Afghan soldiers how to effectively protect high-level targets against assassination attempts.”

The 35 members of the Afghan Uniformed and Border Police completed a rigorous 12-day course, which taught a variety of skills to help prepare them to thwart assassination attempts of the officials they will be protecting, including close-quarter marksmanship, battle tactics, tactical driving and protective security formations.

The Afghan police in attendance worked long, hard hours, but remained vigilant and enthusiastic throughout the course, and the instructors were impressed throughout the training process, said Josleyn.

“Considering how quick the course is, the students really did pick up all the lessons we taught very fast,” said 1st Lt. Thomas

Malone, the JSAS training team’s leader. “Especially with the tactical driving session … many of the students had never driven before. But now they can operate a vehicle in a variety of tactical situations.”

Other instructors were impressed by the level of enthusiasm displayed by the students.

“The students always enjoy weapons training,” said 2nd Lt. Abdul Wahab, a PSD instructor from the Afghan Interior Ministry.

“Getting hands-on with the various weapons and tactics is always popular amongst the soldiers. It builds their confidence and helps them become more capable as personal security police officers.”

Wahab also said that the class was very important for the security and development of Helmand province.

“These are the ones who are going to save the lives of Afghan military commanders and government officials,” said Wahab.

“They protect the people who are at the front of bringing peace to Afghanistan.”

“The Joint Sustainment Academy Southwest instructors want Afghanistan to become a prosperous nation,” added Terry Walker, the training adviser for JSAS, explaining the relevance of the course. “In order for this to happen, Afghan leaders have to be able to safely interact with the public to know their concerns. The students of this course are critical for this, because they provide the security that allows this process to take place. This course and its instructors are constantly adapting to meet emerging requirements that the Afghan Security Forces need to save lives and defend their leaders.”

Wounded warriors from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune showcased their kayaking skills in the 2011 Swansboro kayak race Saturday.

The second annual “Race for the Mullet Cup” was held at the Hammocks Beach State Park. The race featured two divisions, the Minnow Cup Division, which was a one-mile recreational race, and the Mullet Cup Division, which was a competitive three-mile race.

When kayak instructor Robert Smith, Jr. heard about the “Race for the Mullet Cup”,

the th h wa warrior arrrriio ior at athl athlete hlet hl etee re rreconditioning co ond nditioning di i ing p program rogr gram am instructor asked wounded warriors in his kayak class if they wanted to participate. Their response was an enthusiastic yes.

“They said they wanted to do it,” said Smith.

“So, I said ‘Okay, let’s go.’”

Smith joined three of his wounded warriors, Sgt. Robert Skalitsky, Sgt. Brandon Moore and Lance Cpl. Harrison Lee, Jr. for the Mullet Cup. As they arrived at Hammocks Beach State Park and their kayaks were loaded into the water, the group of four talked with each other about the task at hand.

When it came time for the race to begin, Smith and his kayakers paddled out to the waterway with their competitors. Family members, friends and event organizers gathered on a nearby dock to watch the beginning of the race. Kayakers were instructed to paddle up the waterway and loop around the mile and a half marker before paddling back to the starting point. Floating buoys served as markers for the race, letting competitors know where the race started, stopped and turned around.

As the last kayaker disappeared around the bend in the river, spectators guessed how long it would take them to return and stayed on the dock with their cameras, eager to see who the first kayaker would be to cross the finish line.

At 37 minutes and nine seconds, Leif Overturf was the first kayaker to cross the finish line. The real surprise, however, was who was close behind him. Paddling across the finish line with a race time of 37 minutes and 12 seconds was Skalitsky.

Words to live by for fall fishing enthusiasts flounder in the surf.

L Last wee week hel helped the aut autumn With Dr. Bogus fish fishing sea season turn around when an abundance of anchovies hit the surf.

These anchovies brought During the autumn the waters to life and fishing season, anglers put anglers in fishing have a lot of questions heaven. With Spanish, about how to land their blues, ladyfish and false big catch. One of the albacore chasing the questions I hear most frequently is how to make anchovies, anglers could easily hook and reel in bait look tasty enough to the fish of their choice. distract fish from all the This is just one example other bait in the water.

This year, with the lack of of how natural bait aids fisherman. bait available to anglers, This same principle a more pressing question also applies to the variety has sprung up. How can of baits that are available an angler possibly catch anything when there is no year round, such as silversides, menhaden, bait around? striped killifish and mud Even with a series of minnows. For the fish weak mullet runs along the beach this season, fish that like a little more are only finding their way crunch in their diet, anglers should look for to hooks when there is areas where there is a bait in the water. In the surplus of crabs, sand last few weeks, anglers fleas, sea urchins and have caught very few shrimp. drum, bluefish, trout and

Onslow Offshore

Of course, bait isn’t the only thing that affects how many fish anglers can catch. Lately, with the dirty surf, high tides and strong currents, fishing has become a difficult task.

On the rare occasion that the tides are right and the currents are not too strong, anglers have seen scattered drum, Spanish, blues and ladyfish in the surf.

Occasionally, sea mullet, pompano, small black drum and spots have also made an appearance. To the east of Fort Macon and in the Atlantic Beach area, anglers have also caught speckled trout, blues and a few bottom feeders.

Due to the rough waters offshore, fishing has been spotty. While anglers have managed to snag a few false albacore, catches are few and far in between.

It’s important for anglers to remember that as the water cools and the Spanish take their leave, the biggest of the fish are usually the last to make their exit.

As most anglers already know, spot season is in full swing and some good catches have been

reported. However, for every good catch we hear an angler raving over, we also hear an angler sharing the woes of his disappointing day.

My advice to anybody having a hard time finding the spot would be to try Gallant’s channel, Beaufort Inlet and the Morehead City Port Turning Basin. Plenty of boats line the Intracoastal Waterway, the Emerald Isle Bridge and the White Oak River Bridge.

Pier fishing is slow, but Oceanana Pier has reported blues, Spanish, spots and flounder.

Bogue Pier has seen some mullet, caught with sand fleas, and pompano on both bait and goldhooked rigs with orange beads. Bogue Pier has also seen some Spanish that weighed in at more than two pounds.

Seaview Pier has reported slow fishing, with only a few spots, flounder, blues and pompano being caught at night.

Surf City has seen some good fishing with sea mullet, spots and pompano. There are lots of mullet in the surf, which brought the king mackerel with them.

NBA lockout affects more than just athletes, owners Lejeune Sports

With Jessie Heath

It seems that the sports world has come to a grinding halt this year. The NFL lockout, MBA lockout and the NBA lockout have created turmoil in the sports world. Players and owners are constantly arguing over cash and fans are crossing their fingers and waiting to see when the games schedule will be announced.

Last week, the NBA canceled its preseason and announced that it would cancel the first two weeks of its regular season if an agreement could not be reached between millionaire players and their equally-as-affluent owners.

If the NBA lockout continues, players might have to hold their wallets a little tighter and owners might need to start cutting back on their costs, but most of them will be able to make it through until the lockout is settled.

Others aren’t as fortunate. The absence of the preseason games have already had a devastating impact on the workers who are dependent upon them. The possibility of no games at all is enough to drive some of those dependents to unemployment, a sad reality that players and owners don’t

seem to think about while they argue over who gets what percentage of income.

I’ve heard enough in the last few weeks to say with confidence that I’m tired of listening to these people fight. They all make more money than most of us will ever dream of making. Many players have the luxury of signing with another team in another country if they are really desperate. They all have the ability to cut back on the spending and lower their standard of living without too much of a strain on their wallets. Tell me again why they’re fighting?

I wonder if these athletes and owners think of the impact the lockout has on the people around them. I’m sure questions of the fans and dependent employees cross their minds once in a while, but I wonder how often they really stop and think of the potential impact the lockout has. Not only does this lockout have the ability to put them out of work for a season, but it also put thousands of others at risk as well.

Have team owners spoken to the small business owners who are dependent on the season to keep their restaurant open? Have they listened to worried entrepreneurs who are concerned about

th the lack of customers th they will see if there is n no basketball game to p put on their big screen? I th think that if more owners w would take the time to do this, they wouldn’t be as concerned with fighting to get a little extra spending money to pad their bank accounts.

The same goes for the players in the NBA. Has Kobe Bryant talked to the woman who slings hotdogs at the concessions counter to see how the NBA lockout will affect her? What would he think upon receiving the news that an usher doesn’t have the money to pay his light bill? I wonder how important the extra income he’s fighting for would seem if he compared it to the income needed to maintain an average standard of living.

I’m sure the lockout is tough on the players and the owners, who are ready to start the season and do their jobs, and I can understand and appreciate the fact that dealing with money is a tricky business, but I think they’re overlooking some major factors in this lockout. While they fight over who gets what percentage, employees who are dependent on the NBA are fighting over who gets to keep their job.

If players and owners could stop fighting long enough to take a look around and see the impact the lockout is having on the rest of the NBA franchise, it might give them some perspective.

What is more important; a new car for Kobe or electricity for Betty the concessions worker?

After a rough loss against Jones High School Oct. 3, the Lejeune High School Devil Pups took to the field to show what they were made of during their homecoming festivities.

Devil Pups and their families crowded into the stadium for their 2011 homecoming game at Brewster Middle School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Friday.

Led by a 28-yard run by Akile Jones, the Devil Pups charged past the Mariners to take the lead just a few minutes into the first quarter.

Gaven Allen followed Jones’s example with a second touchdown several minutes later, paving the way for Stephen DiCenso to bring home a third touchdown. By the end of the first quarter, the Devil Pups held a solid 19-0 lead over the Carteret Mariners, giving them a solid start to their homecoming game. “(Jones) had a great start tonight,� said LHS Head Coach Darryl Schwartz. “He played a great game and really helped us solidify our win.� “I was concerned when I saw the film reel,� continued Schwartz. “They looked really poor on film. But when we started playing, everything looked much better and I was able to relax a little more.�

In the second quarter, following a two-yard run by DiCenso, East Carteret came back with a 10-yard run. The touchdown wasn’t enough to sway the Devil Pups, who continued to push forward with a 17-yard run by Jones, totaling 32 points for the Devil Pups and six points for the East Carteret Mariners at half-time.

Coming back into the third quarter, the Devil Pups continued to control the game with Jones’s third touchdown of the night and Jamaz Richardson’s 75-yard punt return. East Carteret attempted to turn the game around with a 26-yard pass that led to their second touchdown of the night, but the Devil Pups were relentless and held the Mariners at bay. “Our defensive line was on the ball tonight,� said Schwartz. “As soon as I saw how great our line blocking looked, I knew we were in for a fantastic game.�

Leading the defensive line was middle linebacker Austin Downey, who had a total of eight tackles, four of which were solo and four of which were assisted, during Friday’s game. Downey and the rest of the defensive line were instrumental in holding the Mariners at bay, said Schwartz.

Fatigue couldn’t hold the Devil Pups back as they headed into the final quarter.

East Carteret squeezed in a final touchdown but it wasn’t enough to overturn the game. As the Devil Pups celebrated their eighth touchdown of the night, bringing the score to 51-20, where it would stay for the remainder of the game, fans in the bleachers went wild, knowing their game was won. “Our second team played a whole half tonight,� said Schwartz. “That’s something to be proud of. These guys played a great game tonight.

Everyone put their minds to the task at hand and look how good the outcome was.�

Looking forward to tomorrow’s game against Pamlico County High School, Schwartz said his team faced a new challenge. “The goal is to keep the good plays up next week,� said Schwartz. “We’ve been here before. We come off a great game and go play a sorry game the next week.

These boys have proved that they can play and play well.

Our challenge next week will be to show Pamlico that we won’t back down. We’re not going away.�

The Devil Pup’s will face Pamlico County tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at Pamlico.

Warrior ride rolls on despite accident JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

A group of bikers peddled down highway 17 in Holly Ridge last Thursday as trucks, vans and cars zipped past, frustrated at the traffic backed up behind the bikes. Confined between a U-haul and a bus, 18 cyclists slowly made their way to Wilmington while flags representing different branches of the armed forces fluttered from the backs of their bikes.

Bob and Debra Racine don’t care about the traffic or the speed; their focus is on the wounded warriors who are riding the bikes.

The husband and wife team from Oak Island began The Warrior Ride project in 2005 as a spinoff of another wounded warrior project.

The Racines began to host one ride for wounded warriors every year, promoting the ride as a time for service men and women to fellowship with each other and draw strength from others who understood their trials.

Since its inception, The Warrior Ride has grown from one ride to seven rides, which take place in North and South Carolina, Pennsylvania and other states where the Racines see a need to be met.

“This is our sixth annual ride in Holly Ridge,” said Bob Racine, co-founder of The Warrior Ride. “We have two more rides scheduled this year and hope to have even more next year.”

The three-day bike ride from Holly Ridge to Oak Island was punctuated by visits at area schools along the way. More than 1,200 students gathered at Topsail Middle School to greet

Wounded warriors from all across North Carolina set out from the Holly Ridge fire department Oct. 6 for a three-day bike ride from Holly Ridge to Oak Island, which included stops at several different schools, a ferry ride from Fort Fisher to Southport and a cookout celebration Saturday. the wounded warriors and Team Racine.

Cape Fear Community College students and staff members also opened their doors and hosted A Warrior Ride ceremony when the team rolled onto their campus Thursday afternoon. Children at Virginia Williamson Elementary School of Brunswick County welcomed The Warrior Ride on Friday.

“I like to take these guys to schools and out in the community during our rides,” said Bob Racine.

“It’s important for the community to see that they are still valuable, even though they’ve been injured.”

Bob Racine, who fully

embraces the fact that school-aged children are the “leaders of tomorrow,” believes that it is imperative to introduce young people to the sacrifices made by those in uniform.

“They need to see the sacrifice our service men and women make and understand that it doesn’t come without a cost,” said Bob Racine. “I want to show them that. But, one thing I won’t do is subject any of my riders to the press. They won’t be forced to say or do anything during our stops at the schools. It’s not about spotlight for them.

For them, it’s about riding and being together.”

Retired service member

Tom Nugent understands the importance of being together. Nugent was injured when his helicopter was shot out of the sky during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

When his permanent injuries sidelined him, Nugent had to find something else to do. In 2008, he saw The Warrior Ride pass through a Wilmington intersection.

He pulled over to the side of the road and asked what the bikers were doing. Ten minutes later, he was telling his wife that he would see her in three days and would be learning to ride a bike again with Team Racine and the rest of their wounded warriors.

“I told them I was a wounded warrior and (Racine) pulled a bike out of the back of a truck, duct taped my jeans around my ankles so they wouldn’t get caught, put a helmet on my head and told me to tell my wife I would call her later,” said Nugent.

Since he began riding with The Warrior Ride, Nugent has gotten off some of his pills for his TBI and has made significant progress in his recovery. “(The Warrior Ride) is exhilarating,” said Nugent. “It’s something I can do with my injury. It something that motivates me to be out here with other wounded warriors

and they keep me going.”

It’s easy to see that Nugent isn’t the only one motivated by his fellow riders. When a car accidentally bumped two cyclists on their way to Wilmington Thursday, The Warrior Ride was thought to be cancelled until its riders voted to push on since nobody was seriously injured in the accident.

“It was voted by the wounded warriors that we would continue the ride,” said Bob Racine. “We did, in fact, continue with the two service members who were involved in the accident.”

The Warrior Ride completed its full course and arrived in Oak Island Saturday for a celebratory bike ride around the island and a big cookout celebration.

“We still have two small rides left to finish this year,” said Bob Racine. “We’re hoping to spread the word and get more wounded warriors out to ride with us. They don’t have to pay anything. We will provide everything they need, from hotels to equipment to food. All they have to do is come out and support one another. Supporting each other is as much a part of recovery as the physical adaptations these service men and women face.”

“It’s understood that not everybody can ride the entire way,” continued Bob Racine. “If anybody gets tired, we load them into the van and let them ride inside for a while.

They can rejoin the group whenever they are ready to, without any questions asked.”

Beirut 10K remembers those who gave ultimate sacrifice JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

I

t’s been almost 28 years since a truck full of explosives ripped through Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 241 American Marines, sailors and soldiers. Prior to the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the Beirut bombing was the deadliest terrorist attack on Americans in the world.

Today, the Beirut Memorial sits outside the gates of Camp Johnson near downtown Jacksonville.

Hundreds gathered at the Camp Johnson gymnasium to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in Beirut through a 10K run, Saturday.

The 6.2-mile run carried runners through Camp Johnson, the old Knox Housing Area and historical Montford Point on a flat, scenic asphalt course. Although the run was part of the Grand Prix series aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the circumstances surrounding it were anything but ordinary.

“We’re here to honor the people who gave their lives for us,” said Linda Walker, wife of Maj. Len Walker. “This is important history, especially around Jacksonville and MCB Camp Lejeune.”

Walker, who signed herself and her husband up for the 10K run aboard Camp Johnson, broke her arm prior to the run but did not let her injury stop her from attending what she referred to as “an important event in Marine Corps history.”

“When I signed us up, I thought it would be a nice way to remember those who gave their lives,” said Walker.

“When my doctor told me I couldn’t run, I decided to come out and watch. If I can’t run, at least I can cheer on those who do get to run.”

As runners stretched and the morning fog lifted away, a voice came over the loud speakers

KAYAK FROM 1B “I never expected to win,” said Skalitsky, who was visibly tired after the three-mile race. “I never expected to do as well as I did. I was just out here to have fun and try my hardest.”

As Skalitsky and Smith paddled toward the finish line, Smith did something surprising. He leaned forward and started yelling at Skalitsky.

His odd method of instructing prompted Skalitsky to paddle harder and push all the way through the finish line instead of coasting through it.

“I always yell,” said Smith, laughing slightly at the surprised expressions of the event

Runners prepare to begin the Beirut Memorial 10K race at the starting line at the Camp Johnson gymnasium Saturday. The Beirut 10K served as a run to remember those who lost their lives in the barracks bombing in Beirut 28 years ago. from the back of the Semper Fit mobile unit, announcing that the colors would be hoisted prior to the run’s 8 a.m. start time.

“Of course that was significant part of the day,” said Walker. “It’s the appropriate way to begin a run like this.”

Once the run was underway, Walker sat back in her lawn chair at the finish line to wait for the first of the runners to cross. As she did so, she took the time to reflect on the run and its significance to the U.S. military.

“We’re reaching an age where younger people don’t know about the Beirut bombing,” said Walker. “They don’t know what happened on that day or how it shaped

us. It’s important that we don’t forget it, just like we won’t forget the Sept.

11 attacks.”

“Having the run on Camp Johnson is special,” continued Walker. “It is sacred in a way. The Marines are very close knit and that’s something to be proud of.

Things like this just bring our community closer together.”

In an already closelyknit community, Walker’s observations brought more attention to the community surrounding the Beirut Memorial 10K. As Avery Mouton crossed the finish line as the first place winner with a time of 35 minutes and 40 seconds, he was handed a bottle of water and waited on the sidelines to see who would cross the

finish line next. As soon as Cpl. Jordan Freking crossed the line, Mouton greeted him with a high five and a bottle of water.

As more and more Marines and civilians crossed the finish line, the spirit of camaraderie grew more noticeable.

Complete strangers congratulated one another and brought each other fruit and drinks, gathering in groups to talk about the run.

“It was the perfect day for running,” said Mouton, the son of Chief Warrant Officer 4 Ken Mouton. “I came home from college to run this race and my dad decided to run it with me. He decided to run right before the race started.”

Mouton, who runs the Grand Prix series for

fun, is a collegiate cross country runner. Even though he hadn’t been born when the Beirut bombing occurred, he said the impact was pretty clear.

“We don’t have a run memorializing everything,” said Mouton. “So you know it’s pretty important.”

Freking, who finished the 10K in second place seconds after Mouton, was running not only to remember those who were lost in Beirut, but also to push himself.

“I’ve run in every Grand Prix race except two,” said Freking. “I’ve been lucky enough to place high in most of them. I’m trying to win the series, which means that I have to be out here, pushing myself to do my

personal best.”

Walker said it didn’t matter what the reason was the people came out to run the Beirut Memorial 10K, as long as they ran.

“It attracts people to our history,” said Walker.

“It educates the younger ones who either don’t remember or weren’t alive. That’s why it’s so important. Runs like this keep our history alive.”

The next Grand Prix run, the Neuse River Bridge Run, will feature 5K, 10K and half marathon options. The race will be held Saturday in New Bern.

organizers. “It’s exciting.

It expels adrenaline and pumps people up.”

Smith, who came in third place with a finish time of 37 minutes, 20 seconds, said he knew that Skalitsky and the rest of the wounded warriors were concerned about not doing as well as they could in the race.

Skalitsky admitted that he was worried he would not represent MCB Camp Lejeune the way he wanted to.

“I’m not just out here for me, myself and I,” said Skalitsky. “I’m out here for the Marines who didn’t come back from deployment and for the ones who came back but can’t do things like this now because of their

injuries. I wanted to make sure I represented them.”

Skalitsky started kayaking with Smith as part of the Warrior Athlete Reconditioning program in spring 2011 and quickly found that kayaking was something he enjoyed doing.

“I had to pick an event from the (Warrior Athlete Reconditioning) program, so I picked kayaking.

When I saw it on there, I thought to myself ‘I could get paid to kayak? Sounds good.’ So, I signed up.

After getting out a couple of times, I found that I really enjoyed it.”

The Warrior Athlete Reconditioning program is a rehabilitationtype program that is individually designed to meet the needs, desires and physician’s recommendations for wounded warriors.

Wounded warriors have more than 10 options when enrolling in the WAR program, which focuses on helping them either return to full duty or transition into civilian life.

“The WAR program has been good for me,” said Skalitsky. “When I go kayak, any pain I have

leaves. It’s relaxing.”

When it came time to compete in the Race for the Mullet Cup, though, it wasn’t about relaxing anymore.

“We can still do things,” said Skalitsky.

“Wounded warriors can still get out and do a lot if they just try. We all proved that today by coming out here and participating in this race.

We came out here and we didn’t let the guys who couldn’t come down.”

“I’m glad they came today,” said Smith. “I’m glad they were willing to get out and push. They

all did very well.”

When asked what was next for the kayakers in the WAR program, Smith shrugged. “We start kayaking again on Tuesday. I’ll give them Monday off,” he joked.

Skalitsky and the rest of the wounded warriors joined event organizers for a cookout after the race ended.

Skalitsky and Smith were given trophies for second and third place, but according to Skalitsky, the real award is knowing what they accomplished by making the effort to race.

Berkeley Manor making way for NCOs SGT. BRYAN A. PETERSON

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Starting tomorrow, Atlantic Marine Corps Communities officials will start receiving noncommissioned officer housing referrals from the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Housing Office to fill unoccupied staff noncommissioned officer homes in the Berkeley Manor housing area aboard the base.

The final plan was determined based on the results of a survey conducted online by AMCC residents as well as a town-hall style meeting that took place last month at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center aboard the MCB Camp Lejeune.

AMCC, along with Col. Daniel J. Lecce, the MCB Camp Lejeune commanding officer, proposed three options to fill the homes, since not enough SNCOs occupy the residences.

The three options all included the integration of NCOs into a traditionally all-SNCO housing area. The active-duty NCO families would come from base housing waiting lists. These options raised some questions, such as “different pay, same housing” as well as concerns about fraternization.

Some families voiced their preference for singlefamily homes while others preferred the new larger townhomes in Watkins Village.

Following the town hall, all information from residents was reviewed and discussed by base leadership to determine the best possible solution to solve the housing vacancy issue. Ultimately, as a result of a suggestion made by a resident at the town hall, the decision to integrate Berkeley Manor was made, leaving Watkins Village as is and the final area for integration within the Berkeley Manor housing area segregated along larger natural community breaks and road divisions.

Kathleen Murney, project director for AMCC, said that the first portion of the Berkeley Manor homes that will be integrated with NCO families will still contain some SNCOs initially, but the area is still under renovation and will have the most vacant homes with the least number of SNCO families inconvenienced.

“The SNCOs and their families who are currently living there can remain in their current home or they can complete an AA form through their command and submit it to the MCB Camp Lejeune Military Housing Office to be relocated to a SNCO neighborhood, such as new Watkins Grove and Knox Landing areas, which are slated to be completed by summer of next year,” said Murney. “While the move will be at residents’ expense, AMCC will pay a partial dislocation allowance to help with cable and phone reconnection costs.”

To break it down, the areas selected in the Berkeley Manor neighborhood will include all residences north of Maryland Avenue. The process is broken into three phases. The first phase includes all residences north of Colorado Avenue and west of Michigan Street. The area is under renovation and is 70 percent complete. Phase one will be 100 percent complete with the transition to NCO housing before phase two or three will start.

Once phase one is complete, referrals will pour into phase two homes east of Michigan Street and every home encompassed by the Colorado Avenue loop.

SGT. BRYAN A. PETERSON Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Passersby driving their normal route to work on McHugh Boulevard aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune may have gotten a surprise in the early morning hours, Oct. 5. Nearly 700 service members and civilians line the road, working up a sweat during the Combined Federal Campaign 5k run.

However, the run itself was not the focus of the morning. It was a promotional tool to attract people to the donation campaign, now in its 50th year.

The CFC is an annual fundraising drive that provides an opportunity for federal civilian, postal and military employees to donate to local, national and international non-profit organizations. The mission of the CFC, as established

by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, is to promote and support philanthropy through a program that is employee-focused, costefficient and effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all, according to the campaign’s website. To date, more than $5 billion has been raised.

Since Sept. 8 of this year, the Onslow County CFC unit coordinators aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River and surrounding installations have been spreading awareness about the campaign, using various methods, such as the 5K run.

Maj. Micah M. Miller, environmental counsel for the Eastern Area Counsel Office, MCB Camp Lejeune and the CFC’s MCB Camp Lejeune uniform command coordinator, said the run went well and was a great way to get the word out about the CFC. “(The Onslow County CFC) wants to thank everyone who came out for the run,” said Miller.

“The CFC 5K was a great way to get the message out. We need to contact as many people as we can.

Our goal is 100 percent contact of base personnel.”

Miller added that while discussing the CFC “in passing” has been considered making contact in the past, he focuses on the quality contacts – through those who can have an impact on the majority of others.

“Through presentations given by unit representatives, we are able to get the word out by informing leaders who will then inform their subordinates,” said Miller. “The

Marines and sailors with Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune run in the Combined Federal Campaign’s 5K race aboard the base Oct. 5. The run served as an awareness tool for the CFC to make people aware of the campaign’s efforts in its 50th year in existence.

CFC provides a great service to the potential donators. The CFC screens out each charitable organization ahead of time, even the same organization that has been on the list for years to make sure they are in fact legit. This information is designed to inform those who want to contribute so they know exactly where their money is going.”

Donating, however, according to the national trend, is on the decline.

As Americans have seen the ugly side of the sluggish economy the past few years, so have charities.

According to a Wall Street Journal article last year, philanthropy has become less prevalent. Since 2008, national annual donations have dropped from $315 billion to nearly $300 billion reported last year.

Last year, the Onslow County CFC raised more than $960,000.

Miller added that since the program is designed for federal employees and especially during an uncertain economy, the time to donate is now.

MCB Camp Lejeune, MCAS New River and the surrounding installations, contribute greatly to the immediate area outside the bases.

Last month at a Historical Society of Topsail Island luncheon in Topsail Island, the Topsail Advertiser reported through construction projects and income from base personnel, the local economies benefited at least $6 billion in 2010.

“When hard times occur (across the country), it affects everyone,” Miller said. “So when people (and charitable organizations) need it the most, people here can afford to

give. It’s a vicious cycle.”

Darnita Butts, a management analyst with the Manpower Department, Marine Corps Installations East, was named chairwoman of the CFC’s Local Federal Coordinating Committee this year, and her job is to make sure local CFC coordinators are as proactive about the program as possible.

“It’s not only our job to make people aware of the program, but also to make them aware about what some of these organizations do,” said Butts. “When we had the tornado and hurricane come through here, there were nonprofits out there helping the service members and their families out.

With people knowing how these charities are helpful to humanity, hopefully that will entice them to donate.”

In the past, the only way federal employees and service members could make a donation was to fill out a form and make a payroll deduction. Now, to help simplify the process, the CFC is in its second year of providing E-giving, which is an automated process of making a donation online.

“Last year, the CFC (did) a test run of donating online,” said Butts. “This year, it’s fully operational and they have worked out the bugs.”

The CFC awareness campaign will officially end Dec. 2, with new organizations set to apply to be put on the list in January for the 2012 campaign.

Sandy Run firefighters recognized for their selfless efforts CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Bravery might be defined as the quality of man that makes them defy the greatest of odds to do what is right, regardless of personal cost. Even if one’s life is dependent on the outcome of a certain event, he or she will charge ahead without a moment’s notice.

Men and women who display such acts of bravery might be hard to come by, yet 19 brave men and women stood together to be recognized for such selfless acts when they, members of the Environmental Conservation Branch, Environmental Management Division, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, were lauded for their efforts during the March forest fire in the Greater Sandy Run training area at

the ECB building, Oct. 5.

These individuals were personally involved in a variety of fire-fighting activities which aided in the eventual extinguishing of the month-long, 9,000-acre blaze that threatened the immediate MCB Camp Lejeune area. These firefighters were presented with certificates of commendation in a ceremony held in front of one of the bulldozers used in the operation.

“It was one of the largest wildfires we’ve had aboard (MCB) Camp Lejeune in a long while,” said Bill Rogers, head of the ECB. “These guys were the first on the scene, and to do everything they did without any injuries is nothing short of impressive.”

To put their commitment to the job in perspective, for the few weeks that the fire was at its worse, each firefighter was logging 12 to 16 hours per day, seven

days a week, risking their lives in the fire and smoldering timber as the blaze steadily worked its way toward Holly Ridge. However, through persistence and the aid of the city and states’ firefighting forces, the inferno was contained, managed and eventually extinguished.

“Normally, the usual blunt of fires we have on base are put out in a matter of hours, not a matter of months like this one,” said Dan Becker, manager of the Forest Protection Program with the ECB. “It was through their countless hours of continual training and exceptional dedication to duty that they were able to take control of a fire of that magnitude and ensure no one was injured.”

Joint Daytime Ceremony W.P.T. Hill Field, November 9

All service members, families and civilians are cordially invited to attend the Joint Daytime Ceremony at 10 a.m. aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to observe Marine Corps tradition, which includes a historical pageant presented by Marines donning the many uniforms since 1775, and the cake cutting ceremony. All service members, not in the ceremony, are required to be in the uniform of the day. Civilians are requested to wear appropriate civilian attire. In the case of inclement weather, the event will be cancelled.

FIREFIGHTERS FROM 1C bravery save for their firefighting equipment – a casual first glance at these civilians would prate of nothing. Yet, they stood in their matching yellow work shirts before Col. Daniel J. Lecce, commanding officer of MCB Camp Lejeune, being recognized for their noble endeavors.

“What this group did was absolutely tremendous and critically important to the base,” said Lecce. “Out of all the natural disasters that have happened since I became the CO of the base, this one was by far the most threatening. For what they did because of it, I cannot thank them enough.”

Yet, with the seemingly natural call-to-arms against an inhuman force, the firefighters keep a humble outlook toward their actions, saying that their response to the fire was not out of the ordinary.

“I’ve been engaged in firefighting services for about seven years now, and this was one of the worst fires I’ve been involved with,” said Kyle Avesing, a tractor plow crewmember with the ECB. “But just because of that, we didn’t go above and beyond what we normally do – this is our job, this is what we signed up to do. Some days are going to be worse than others. We just have to do our best every day.”

Although these firefighters may speak lightly of their efforts in March, it is an uncommon thing to look into the burning pit of a dragon’s belly and walk into it without hesitation. Without their work, the fire might have engulfed a lot more than forest.

uring the fall and winter months, many animals that are not hibernating face freezing weather, another challenge for many of them is food.

Without food, the animals of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune would slowly whittle away.

However, the MCB Camp Lejeune Environmental Management Division personnel are working hard to ensure this does not happen.

“We have approximately 250 acres of small, managed clearings scattered throughout the base.

They range in size from half an acre to more than five acres,” said Marty Korenek, a wildlife biologist with Land and Wildlife Resources Section, Environmental Management Division. “Food plots have long been used by wildlife managers as a means to supplement the diets of wildlife during times of stress or during periods of the year when nutritional natural forage was deficient or lacking. They are also used to concentrate wildlife species such as white-tailed deer or

turkeys for hunting or viewing.”

After the Labor Day weekend, Conservation Branch (wildlife and forestry) personnel were hard at work tilling the soil to prepare the seedbed to make way for the different types of seed they were going to plant.

Once an area has been tilled, a seeder, called a drill, will roll through and plant the seeds. From there, nature takes its course and in as little as one week, their labor will pay off with new growth becoming visible. Wildlife food plots are planted each fall with cool season plant species including, oats, wheat and several clover species.

Soil amendments like fertilizer and lime are also spread in the food plots.

Animals are not the only ones that benefit from food plots, hunters can take advantage of the many plots scattered throughout MCB Camp Lejeune.

“All the food plots are within designated hunting areas,” said Korenek.

While hunters can use these areas for their advantage, leaving the food plots unharmed is not only beneficial for the animals, but the next hunter who comes along as

well. Some people, however, take advantage of an open field and can devastate the plots.

“We do have vandals, for a lack of a better word who come in on their trucks, while some are unintentional and only use the edge to turn their vehicles, others come with malicious intent,” said Korenek. Food plots are expensive to develop and maintain. A significant portion of the annual budget for wildlife food plots is generated by hunters through the sale of base hunting permits. We make quite an investment in materials like signs, equipment, seed, fertilizer fuel, and labor and take a lot of pride in our work. It’s a real disappointment to discover a food plot that has been tore up. It’s senseless.”

Even with signs stating that the area is a food plot and no vehicles are allowed, this has not stopped everyone from hurting a temporary food plot that the Environmental Management Division has put so much work into.

Even with damages, food plots are a necessity for the base and will continue to flourish during harsh seasons and provide the animals with an alternative food option when there is nothing left.

Ribbon-cutting ceremony marks opening of new, improved Mess Hall PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune officials marked the grand opening of Mess Hall 227 during a ribbon-cutting ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 5.

The mess hall is the largest aboard the base and it is the first two-story mess hall in the Department of Defense, according to Master Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Middlebrooks, Senior food technician with MCB Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Installations East.

“We have to reinvest into the future,” said Middlebrooks. “This mess hall is the result of (the Marine Corps 202k increase), many of who will be utilizing the facility. It’s one of several mess halls that are under construction here.”

Many of the mess halls on MCB Camp Lejeune were built during World War II and were becoming outdated, but base officials are currently in the process of replacing them with new, college-style mess halls.

“The Marine Corps is transitioning,” said Middlebrooks. “This is a volunteer force and quality of life for Marines is just as important as technology that evolves for new weapons systems. Everything has to be balanced, and (keep) pace.”

Mess Hall 227 replaced Mess Hall 9 and 211. The two-story building is able to seat 500 people and offers foods such as Mongolian barbecue, Panini sandwiches, pasta and a pizza station.

Many Marines have said the best part is they can eat as much as they want.

Middlebrooks said the Mongolian grill itself is so huge that they had to crane it into the building before the roof was built.

“Thirty years ago, there was only one meat, one starch and the beverage choice was water, coffee and maybe tea,” said Middlebrooks. “There weren’t alternatives to what you had to eat.”

The new class of mess halls across base provides a variety of foods, relaxing atmosphere and in addition to those great features, it is also Leader-

ship in Energy and Environmental Design certified, equipped with things such as solar-powered water heaters and metering devices to monitor energy usage.

Charles Cone, the base food service officer with MCB Camp Lejeune, said the new mess hall is state-of-the-art.

They will feed service members and be energy efficient.

It takes a significant amount of planning and team effort to construct and manage this dining facility. The normal culinary experts all have to have the minimum requirement for food preparation serving, but there is an executive chief who manages this facility.

“Not very many installations in the Marine Corps go under construction for things such as this,” said Middlebrooks. “That’s the installation commander saying ‘I’m concerned about the quality of life of my Marines’ and doing something to improve it. I’ve been in every mess hall in the Marine Corps, and there’s nothing like our two-story mess hall.”

Base opens up career center for sailors PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The number of sailors aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is small, and when sailors are stationed aboard a ‘green-side’ base, the number of educational programs and services that assist sailors may be just as small.

Something had to be done to find a solution to efficiently and effectively help sailors achieve their goals.

The answer was to consolidate and centralize the resources offered aboard the base. The opening of the first Navy Career Information Development Center did exactly that.

“I’m excited about what this means for us, for our leaders and for our sailors,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Lisa Ceron, lead petty officer with NCIDC. “One of the biggest challenges is trying to open up a Navy facility on a Marine Corps Base. Finding stuff that we needed, such as the space and support, was difficult.”

The mission of the center is to standardize Navy programs for sailors assigned to II Marine Expeditionary

Force and major subordinate commands. The center is equipped with training classrooms, a computer lab and staff support.

The center offers career counseling by qualified staff, a career resources library, which includes Navy instructions, manuals, handbooks and workshops to review Navy resources and career enhancement programs, as well as transition assistance counseling and individual planning for sailors leaving the Navy.

The center can help sailors develop their specific goals so they have a chance to obtain the education they want.

“It’s essential for sailors to develop their skills,” said Ceron. “It’s easy to read a book, take a test and get promoted, but you aren’t developed. This center will be here to help sailors by focusing on the individual. Developing an education with the operational tempo can be difficult, and the center is a way to get away from the chaos.”

For information on the Navy Career Information Development Center, call 451-4070. The NCIDC is building 321, located on Holcomb Boulevard.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. HOUSING FROM 1C Phase three, which constitutes homes west of Florida Avenue and north of Maryland Avenue, will begin the transition following Phase two.

“Occupancy and demand will drive the timelines for phase two and three to become NCO housing,” stated Dixie Lanier-Johnson, the strategic marketing manager with AMCC. “It is expected that the complete transition could take up to three years or more.”

All in all, AMCC hopes to have the transition completed by 2014.

“Each neighborhood has its own waiting list determined by rank,” said Lanier-Johnson. “Incoming families can go to our website and check out the areas they would want to live.

Depending on that, it will determine if the family will be put on a waiting list or not. By opening up the SNCO housing to NCOs, more families will move into homes faster, which is a good thing.”

Murney said AMCC needs to maintain a 95 percent occupancy rate to ensure proper management, renovations and upgrades can happen.

“We are here to make sure that service members and their families have good quality homes to live in,”

said Murney. “Without sufficient SNCOs, the next option is NCOs to fill the gap. Homes must be occupied to ensure proper maintenance and long-term repairs are possible.”

Lanier-Johnson added that the service members’ basic allowance for housing goes to repay the debt used to demolish and rebuild the homes along with utilities, $20,000 renters insurance, fire, police, landscaping and other amenities. The re-designation of the Berkeley Manor housing area will allow the occupancy to remain high.

To get the word out to Marines and sailors across base about the re-designation plan, Sergeant Major William C. Rice, the MCB Camp Lejeune sergeant major, already contacted sergeants major across MCB Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River and surrounding installations.

“I have briefed sergeants major from the tenant commands and regiments about what’s going on,” said Rice. “This is the final plan that came out of meetings between base and AMCC officials. Unfortunately, as with any situation, you can’t make everyone happy. But, this was a plan designed to address all the issues.”

MARSOC screening event to take place in Camp Lejeune PFC. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The Marine Corps has been known throughout history as the toughest fighting force of any military organization, and the same goes for another group of Marines.

Marine Corps Special Operations Command, better known as MARSOC, is that group, and if you think you have what it takes to be a part of it, the MARSOC screening team is holding a screening event for potential candidates at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Male and female Marines from all military occupational specialties are welcome at the event, which will serve as an introduction to MARSOC. While those who preregister will be seen first, the event is open to all Marines.

“We’re looking for strong, mature, disciplined, intelligent, physically fit, capable, mentally agile and ethical critical thinkers,” said Maj. Jeffrey A. Landis, the MARSOC public affairs officer. “We look for Marines like this because we need to operate in complex uncertain environments.”

MARSOC recruiters will work with Marines in order to qualify. Requirements Marines must fulfill include having a general technical score of 105 or above on the armed services vocational aptitude battery test, a requirement that cannot be waived. Marines must be eligible for a secret security clearance, must pass the MARSOC swim assessment, be willing to reenlist and have a physical fitness test score of 225 or above.

“Marines should be aiming for 270 or above (on their PFT),” a MARSOC recruiter said “Coming over to us is extremely

competitive. Attitude plays a big role. I want someone who’s going to be optimistic in the most undesirable conditions, and brings forth a great attitude.”

Marines who wish to retain their current MOS are welcome within MARSOC and can receive additional training to become special operations capabilities specialists. Representatives from various MOSs will be present at the event to answer questions.

The event will kick off with a brief that will begin at 8 a.m. and another at 1 p.m. The brief will include a video and presentations from recruiters and monitors. Afterwards, interested parties will move on through the selection and screening process.

Candidates who make it through the process will designate a time they can go through assessment and selection.

“The privilege of (MARSOC being a part of Special Operations Command) is that our mission will never go away,” he said. “So we need to find Marines that are absolutely secure in deploying, especially when it comes to family. If they are married, that’s not to say that we’re a pager unit, but just because you’re (stateside) doesn’t mean you’re going to be home. Individuals need to understand that the priority is the mission.”

Marines who make it through MARSOC’s initial training will leave with unbeatable credentials. They will be full spectrum Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape qualified, will be trained in a foreign language, and the potention to be airborne and dive qualified among other highly-sought after credentials.

According to facts provided by the North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence, there were 70 domestic violence homicides reported in 2009, and 83 percent of those victims were killed with firearms.

Alarming facts such as these are eye-opening, but when a person is a victim of domestic violence, it can sometimes be hidden right in plain sight, surfacing only when problems escalate, exposing external and internal scars.

Domestic violence can dramatically affect a family, and it can also impact the mission readiness of the service member. To address this problem, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Community Counseling Center held the Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Conference 2011 Proclamation Signing Ceremony, Oct. 3. The ceremony was an all-day event, starting with the signing of the proclamation by Col. Daniel Lecce, commanding officer of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, declaring October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which was then followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony.

“Domestic violence is a big problem, especially among our younger families,” said Lecce. “But its effects reach across all generations and it’s one of those things that in the past was kept under wraps. But I think what we need to do is bring it to the forefront, publicize it and make people act on it.”

A guest speaker shared her story and the challenges she faced with being the victim of domestic violence. As she spoke in front of the audience, her voice was slightly shaken, and those who watched could clearly see that it caused an emotional relapse while she shared her experience. But as her story came close to end, the light in her eyes told a story of triumph over a problem that many people in the world face.

Actors performed a dramatization to give the audience a live, up-close look at what victims may go though.

John Guard, a representative with Major Crimes Division, Pitt County Sheriff ’s Office in N.C., also shared stories and facts to promote awareness and offered tips on preventative steps to deal with domestic violence.

“Domestic violence cuts across every social and economic boundary, and it exists in every race group,” said Guard. “It affects everybody, either directly or indirectly.

“Victims of domestic violence should be able to find help at any point,” continued Guard. “There isn’t one certain doorway they have to walk through to get help. It could be anyone, media, neighbors, friends or family.”

The proclamation was a necessary step needed to give light to a serious matter that affects the lives of everyone around, including the mission of the military.

“The fight against domestic violence is the purpose of the event, and our mission is to make people aware so they can do something about it,” said Lecce.

Brian Nohr, a victim advocate supervisor with the Community Counseling Center, Marine Corps Community Services, wants victims of domestic violence to know there are people who want to help.

“We really want to shed light on the matter and support the victims, “said Brian Nohr, a victim advocate supervisor with Community Counseling Center, MCCS. “We want to let them know that there is help available.”

Mumfest

blossoms into premier fall event AMY BINKLEY

Assistant managing editor

M

um’s the word – but it’s no secret.

Throughout the years, tens of thousands of people have trekked to the tiny town of New Bern, N.C. Some come for the history, others for the romance, but every October for the past 31 years, there’s only been one thing on the minds of perennial visitors.

Mumfest, the town’s annual fall festival, charged into its third decade in style, taking over the entire downtown area and welcoming more than 80,000 people for a weekend of family fun and entertainment, Saturday and Sunday.

“Since 1980, we’ve watched Mumfest grow from a small, one-day event into a major festival,” said Susan Moffat-Thomas, festival director. “This year’s (festival) features 300 artists, crafters, exhibitors and savory food vendors.”

The award-winning event has been recognized as one of the finest family festivals in North Carolina and one of the top 20 October festivals in the southeastern United States.

Skillfully arranging a mixed bouquet of new attractions with old favorites, Mumfest sets the standard for similar events and has gained an impeccable reputation as the season’s can’t-miss festival.

“We’ve lived here for a long time,” said retired Sgt. James Murphy. “It’s always nice to come out and walk around. We love coming down and getting the whole family out.”

Mumfest’s free admission and plethora of activities enticed hundreds of service members and their families to join in on the fun.

Airman 1st Class Robert Wainwright finished his training in Virginia just in time for the big weekend.

“I try to come every year to spend time with friends,” he said. “They have a lot of stuff to do. I like the different shows they put on.”

Mumfest offered up an all-you-can-handle buffet of live entertainment sure to please anyone looking for a good show.

From the Corvette Racing Tour to the YPG River Jam featuring the talents of Chairmen of the Board and Hot Buttered Grits, the only difficult decisions visitors faced was which SEE MUMFEST 5D

Visitors of all ages enjoy their time at the 31st annual Mumfest in New Bern, N.C., Saturday.

‘Warrior’ shouts battle cry for mixed martial arts Now playing at Midway Park “WARRIOR” (PG-13) “Warrior” is an inspirational action drama about two estranged brothers facing the fight of a lifetime.

Tom Hardy (“Inception,” “Black Hawk Down”) stars as Tommy Conlon, a former Marine with a tragic past.

Suffering from the war in Iraq, Tommy returns home to Pittsburgh for the first time in 14 years to enlist the help of his father and former coach to whip him into shape for the upcoming mixed martial arts tournament, the biggest winner-takesall event in MMA history.

Tommy, a former wrestling prodigy, blazes a violent path toward the championship prize, while his brother, Brendan, played by Joel Edgerton (“Animal Kingdom,” “Smokin’ Aces”), a former powerful MMA fighter turned teacher, struggles in providing for his family at home.

Brendan returns to the ring in a desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin.

Nick Nolte (“Tropic Thunder,” “The Thin Red Line”) co-stars as Paddy Conlon, their recovering alcoholic father, who has a complicated past with both of his sons, and who now trains Tommy for the MMA tournament.

Even though years have gone by, recriminations and past betrayals keep Brendan estranged from both Tommy and

MIS

SIO

his father.

But when Brendan’s unlikely, underdog rise sets him on a collision course with the unstoppable Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront each other and the forces that pulled them apart.

They will face off in the most soaring, soul stirring, and unforgettable climax that must be seen to be believed.

Jennifer Morrison (“Star Trek,” TV’s “House”) plays Tess Conlon, Brendan’s levelheaded wife.

Kevin Dunn (“Unstoppable”) can be seen as Principal Zito, who has to suspend Brendan for not living up to the high standards of the school.

Gavin O’Connor (“Pride and Glory,” “Miracle”) directed, produced and also co-wrote the screenplay of this inspiring, but grim movie that proves the art of powerful story telling is still alive.

“Warrior” is a rousing ode to redemption, reconciliation and the power of the human spirit. It is also a moving testament to the enduring bonds of family.

“Warrior” is an emotional and engaging family and underdog story that could be the breakout movie for mixed martial arts, as “The Raging Bull” was for boxing and “The Wrestler” was for the sport of wrestling.

Expect sequences of intense MMA fighting.

The $20-million Heroes Elementary School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune currently enrolls 398 children, but has the capacity to accommodate nearly 800 students when more families move on base.

Heroes Elementary School holds dedication ceremony PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The posting of the nations’ flag by the Lejeune High School Junior Recruit Officer Training Corps Color Guard and the National Anthem sung by 4th-grade students with Heroes Elementary School kicked off the Heroes Elementary School’s dedication ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 7.

Dewanda Sholar, principal of HES, Col. Daniel J. Lecce, commanding officer of MCB Camp Lejeune and Dr. Jo Ann Rooney, the Office of the Secretary of Defense principal deputy under secretary for personnel and readiness were on hand to speak about the importance of providing education for the community’s youth.

The ceremony also marked the transferring of Heroes Elementary School to Department of Defense Education Activity, Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary Schools, North Carolina Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary Schools and Camp Lejeune Dependent Schools.

The school’s student population currently sits at 398, but will accommodate up to 768 once more families move onto base in

the future.

The opening of the new school affords children who were affected by Hurricane Irene the opportunity to build an education at Heroes Elementary.

“Students displaced from the hurricane at (Tarawa Terrace), in grades three to five, are bused to this school,” said Dr. Emily Marsh, superintendent with NCDDESS. “It’s a wonderful school that serves many different children from across the installation.”

The $20-million building itself is constructed to maximize natural light and the environment, which also helps to be energy efficient.

The school also has things such as an occupational therapy room equipped with state-ofthe-art technology, from classroom computers and an information system center to smart boards and handheld devices used to help teach children.

“All those things sum up a 21st century education,” said Ms. Marilee Fitzgerald, acting director of DODEA. “So when these doors open up, they open up to a beautiful facility, but it’s what happens in these classrooms that’s something different.”

If someone stepped inside for a glimpse of the school they would see multiple classrooms and age groups, and children who

learn at their own pace.

“In the adult world, we’re about competency, so when you have that competency you move to the next thing,” said Fitzgerald. “This idea is translating into the educational arena, so if (a child) masters it, (he) moves on.

If (he is) a little stuck, we accommodate with the additional learning strategies.”

Fitzgerald said schools teach science and math, but it is importance to weave everything into what the children are doing. It’s integration into the whole curriculum, not just an individual course.

One example is how geometry can be taught while constructing a house for an art project. Teaching methods such as this are innovative and new to the majority of traditional schools.

“When I look at this building, I only see the possibilities for our children in a very different

way from when I went to school,” said Fitzgerald.

Famous physicist Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Knowledge is limited.

Imagination encircles the world.”

Heroes Elementary School may sprout the Einsteins of today by offering a student-centric education that supports and promotes creative thinking, which is parallel to imaginative thinking.

“They are really choosing their own destiny.

There are very many opportunities because they are preparing for the 21st century,” said Marsh. “We need to have new and innovative ways of looking at things, so this environment will support that creativity for engineering, mathematics, science and technology. I heard someone say ‘this is a place where our future leaders are under construction,’ and indeed they are.”

(Top) Two girls dance as the Terry Batson Band performs classic oldies during the Swansboro Mullet Festival, Saturday. (Above) A Marine, one of many who volunteered to assist, carries a tray full of hush puppies at the festival, Saturday.

Flocks of families strolled down the sidewalks of Swansboro Saturday and Sunday making their way to an event that has been a part of the town’s tradition for more than half a century.

The Mullet Festival, in its 57th year, began as a fish fry celebrating the completion of the White Oak River Bridge and has since evolved into an annual festival that celebrates the sense of community within the town.

It is one of four events held throughout the year by the Swansboro Festival Committee. Other events include Arts by the Sea, the Fourth of July celebration and a flotilla Christmas parade on the water.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Lt. Col. Cliff Carpenter, the commanding officer of the Logistics Operations School on Camp Johnson, who attended the event with his children. “One of the nice things about being out in Swansboro is that it’s a great mix. Swansboro has a really warm local population. The people who set up stands and do the music are the same people you see in Swansboro.”

The atmosphere was full of cheer.

Friends gathered and children danced as the Terry Batson Band performed, crooning oldies in keeping with the festival’s theme of ‘Cruising a Classic.’

Other performances included several acts, a parade on Saturday morning with more than 50 participants and demonstrations from local karate and dance schools.

The fish that lends its name to the

event, the mullet, was provided by the rotary club, and cooked by Marine volunteers. For $8 attendants received mullet or whiting with coleslaw, baked beans and hush puppies.

“It brings the military closer to the community,” said Lance Cpl. Will Vargas, a heavy equipment mechanic with 8th Communication Battalion, II Marine Expeditionary Force, who volunteered to assist at the event. “It’s fun. I’ve met a lot of people.”

Vendor space sold out a week earlier than normal.

The streets were lined with vendors providing everything from books and birdhouses to face painting and food.

“It’s a good event, a lot of military families don’t feel like they can get in with the community because they’re always moving and it’s good to have something like this where they can come and relax and get away for a bit,” said Ron Dodge, a military police officer on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

The two-day event was funded through renting space to vendors and donations.

It was not for profit and all proceeds go toward future events.

Linwood Hood, the president of the Swansboro Festival Committee, said they had a lot of support from the military, and that they were happy to have the volunteers.

A Mumfest visitor takes time to smell the subject of the festival in the gardens at Tryon Palace in New Bern, N.C., Saturday.

MUMFEST FROM 1D direction to turn.

The Purina Incredible Dog Team, comprised of more than eight trainers and 30 canines, wowed a packed audience at Union Point Park with their back catches, balancing tricks and amazing athletics.

The King’s BMX Stunt Show had bleachers full of people gasping at the aerial aerobics and terrifying tricks.

Capt. Micah Akin, Communications Squadron, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, had been preparing for the fun weekend for a long time and packed up his family in anticipation.

“We missed it last year and wanted to come see everything,” he said. “We’d heard a lot about all the vendors from people who came last year.”

His wife agreed and said, “It’s just good family-fun.”

History buffs got a sneak peak back in time at the encampment of the 7th N.C. State Troops, Company F, Civil War reenactment site. Recruiters provided information to interested parties and enjoyed answering questions about Reilly’s Battery.

“It’s history,” said Susan Trail, a reenactor dressed in appropriate Civil War apparel, including a hoop skirt and bonnet. “It’s an event the whole family can enjoy. (A lot of the service members) like the history of how the military came about and learning because books leave a lot out.”

Mark Trail, a retired Marine and secretary for the group, takes honor as a reenactor.

“It really brings history back and alive when you walk the same fields your grandfather fought on,” he said. “We figured it’s a great time of year to get some new recruits.”

Along with the vendors who were selling everything from jewelry to new hairstyles, the you-should-only-eat-it-oncea-year food delicacies were a high priority for many people.

Sandy Thomas, a local resident who has been coming to Mumfest for a long time, was surprised by the variety of tasty treats.

“There’s a lot more food this year,” she stated.

Fried pickles, gyros and ribbon fries were just a few of the delectable dishes from which to choose.

“We’ve come the last three years,” said Cpl. Albert Petschel, Marine Transport Squadron One, MCAS Cherry Point. “It’s fun just walking down the streets and seeing what vendors have to offer. You can get some great stuff, like fried Oreos.”

It wasn’t just festival veterans who pounded the pavement of the birthplace of Pepsi-Cola. Many out-of-towners drove in to see what the buzz was about.

Michelle White took advantage of the festival’s free shuttle service along with her daughter and her parents.

“I’ve never been (to Mumfest),” she admitted.

While they found the vendors and amusement rides entertaining, they took advantage of the free garden admission at Tryon Palace. Thousands of mums, the festival’s inspiration, were in full bloom and showing off their magnificent colors for all to see.

White’s mother, Brenda Saulnier, was happy to share the experience with her granddaughter.

“It’s a good, family time watching her discovering things,” she noted. “We take certain things for granted, but kids see it all brand new.”

Children of all ages had exciting activities waiting for them at every turn. Magicians, musicians and even Rick Hubbard’s Kazooble Kazoo Show set up in the streets to perform for any passersby.

The Farmers’ Market also provided its own unique taste to Mumfest, not only offering fresh produce and baked goods but also a llama and two alpacas, including special guest Buddy, the 6-year-old alpaca.

Two days may not seem like enough time to fit in all that Mumfest has to offer, but perhaps that’s the secret to its success and what brings people back year after year.

Take responsibility seriously Chaplain’s Corner New to Me with Amy Binkley

I

Assistant managing editor

am not a morning person.

Trying to be productive before the sun comes up has never been my strong suit.

I applaud those of you who see hours on the clock in the morning that I only associate with afternoon. I don’t know how you do it.

Nonetheless, since graduating from college and involuntarily becoming a member of the real world six years ago, my daily alarm has been set, along with the three other back-ups just in case my brain chooses to ignore the first one, to get up, get ready and head to work.

I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least a little tired, and I’ve seriously considered hooking myself up to an IV of coffee.

It’s not that I’m masochistic. I genuinely enjoy sleeping in, but I’m an adult.

I have responsibilities.

The word in and of itself can be cringe-worthy.

Responsibility. It doesn’t exactly conjure up fun images, does it?

A extreme commuting friend of mine works three hours away from home and only sees her husband on the weekends because the responsibility of adulthood demands bills be paid. That’s not fun.

Depending on what part of life you are in, it reeks of homework, dead-

lines, diapers or social security woes.

I’ve heard responsibility defined as the ability to choose your response.

That’s all well and good, except for the fact that as humans, our natural inclination is to evade responsibility.

It’s rooted in us from childhood to duck out or hold loosely to something so we can let go when things get tough.

Obviously, this presents a problem.

The current young adult population in America is facing an unprecedented situation brought on by economic hardships, uncertain futures and an epidemic of laziness.

Experts call it adult adolescence. I call it a failure to grow up.

Several articles and studies have come out recently describing this phenomena and particularly focusing on men between the ages of 18 and 25. They call it everything from delayed adolescence to emerging adulthood.

Considering the vast majority of the population of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune falls into this category, I felt it was something I should look into.

Kay Hymowitz, a columnist for the Dallas Morning News, wrote that today’s twentysomething male “lingers happily in a new hybrid state of semi-hormonal adolescence and responsible self-reliance.”

The article went on to note that it appears adolescence is a man’s default state, where he goes when he doesn’t know where he’s going.

After sifting through all the statistics, quotes and opinions of what people think is wrong with Generation Next, I figured out the source of the problem.

Everyone is pointing fingers and no one is taking responsibility.

Years ago, men and women in their early twenties were finished with school, married and well on their way to having a family. They were self-sufficient, independent and, dare I say, responsible.

Today, people are prolonging the growing up process. They’re going to school longer, digging themselves more in debt, moving home with mom instead of getting their own place, “finding themselves” through hours of Call of Duty games and ultimately delaying the inevitable.

I can see reflections of the negative behaviors the statistics speak of in some service members, and I acknowledge the fact that several of them should turn off the video games and have actual conversations more often.

However, they’re at least a step ahead in more ways than one.

A better definition of responsibility is an accountability for the stewardship of what has been entrusted to us.

As Marines, when you sign your name on the dotted line, you instantly become responsible for the protection of the country. That is a serious load, my friends.

It’s hard for me to explain to friends and family back home that a 20-year-old Marine is different, probably more mature in most cases, than a 20-year-old college student who comes home for the summer.

Maturity is not a function of time passing but of taking responsibility for things.

Marines are responsible for not only themselves, but their families, their fellow comrades-in-

arms, their equipment, their safety and a host of other things.

Irresponsibility is natural to everyone. It comes easily.

Responsibility will make you odd.

It’s not natural to rush into a burning building to save people you don’t know, but firefighters do it every day.

It’s not natural to be debt-free when the nation is so far in the red it’s unimaginable, yet there’s a growing number of people cutting up credit cards and paying off loans.

It’s not natural to immerse yourself in a war zone at the risk of your life to fight for a cause that started long before you were born, but service members are being scattered across the world even now.

Marines don’t do what’s natural or easy.

They do the complete opposite. They are broken down to be built up as different people with different mindsets.

In every area of life, if you ask and are told, you immediately become responsible for that.

Marines are given orders which they follow or face the consequences.

Wouldn’t it be odd to see a Marine run from the plane being boarded for Afghanistan or from a battle with the enemy on foreign soil?

They don’t even realize how strange they’ve become.

They may not have everything right, and there is still plenty of room for growth.

However, the new generation of Marines is far from normal.

They are well on their way to being responsible members of society.

Remember, you are never alone NAVY LT. CHRISTOPHER ADAMS

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

My favorite movie scene is from “Forrest Gump.” Jenny, the love of Forrest’s life, is lying on a bed exhausted from the fight waged against an unknown illness. He enters the room carrying a breakfast tray. As he sits on the bed beside her, they begin to talk.

She asks, “Forrest, were you scared in Vietnam?” Forrest answers, “Yes- well, I don’t know.” Then he begins to share with her that during the most solitary times in his life he witnessed some of the greatest sights, the stars appearing after a rain, a sunset on the bayou, the scene of a mountain lake and the majesty of a desert sunrise.

Jenny responds, “I wish I could have been there with you.” Forrest replied, “You were.”

And there it is, one of the greatest truths in life – you are never really alone.

There may be times when we find ourselves physically separated from our loved ones, but they are never further away than our hearts and minds. That’s the reason it is so important to invest regularly in your “memory bank.”

Take the walks. Spend the time. Make the call. Go to the games. Celebrate the opportunities you have time to spend with the people who care for you most.You will need to draw from that reserve at some point along the way.

I’m reminded of that fact by a hero from my faith, the Apostle Paul. During a hard stretch in his life, when beaten, mistreated and imprisoned for his faith, he reveals what sustained him.

He writes in Philippians 1:3-5,“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.”

When times were bad, Paul did three things.

First, he expressed thanks to God. Second, he took his eyes off of himself and prayed for others. Third, he remembered those important to him. Through these three things, he recalled the greater purpose he had committed himself to fulfilling.

I’m challenged by Paul’s example. How about you?

The next time you find yourself feeling alone remember these truths. Memories can serve as a source of strength and encouragement. When you are tempted to focus on the issues around you, don’t forget to look up.

God is always there.
