Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266 provide air support to a Security Force Assistance Adviser Team during an unmounted foot patrol aboard Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue Oct. 18. The air support allowed the SFAAT to practice real-world scenerios they may encounter while deployed in Afghanistan next year.

“Stop the vehicle,” yelled Capt.

James Slocum to the driver behind the wheel of the Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected vehicle. Slocum grimaces as he grabs the handheld radio. “There is something in the road ahead. It doesn’t look right.”

Standing in the turret of the vehicle, Slocum’s eyes darted back and forth scanning the dirt road ahead. As an AH-1Z Cobra pilot, Slocum usually would be assessing threats from the sky. However, as a member of a Security Force Assistance Advisor Team he adapted his skill set and tailored it for his new role as a turret gunner.

The convoy comes to a complete halt. Through the scope on his M-4 carbine Slocum discovers

there are wires sticking out from the disturbed piece of road. He yells down through the turret to the vehicle commander.

“Call it in. I think we have an (improvised explosive device),” said Slocum.

Slocum and his team radioed in numerous makeshift explosives along this stretch of road as part of a week-long exercise held at Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue Oct. 15 through 19.

The training was designed to prepare the Marines with II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) for their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.

The SFAAT Marines conducted mounted convoy operations and dismounted foot patrols during day and night training evolutions testing their ability to detect IEDs

in an interactive environment.

IEDs remain the greatest threat to troops in Afghanistan. According to statistics compiled by the Pentagon, there were 16,000 incidents involving IEDs in 2011, a 10 percent increase from the previous year.

Although the IEDs were simulated, Slocum said they depicted potential circumstances he and his team could encounter while deployed.

“With the various scenarios they throw at us, it gives us an opportunity to rehearse how we would react to real-world situations,” said Slocum. “This is why we do the training — it is not only to shape the mindset of what we will be doing in country, but to build the skillset necessary to complete our mission.”

Transition is the Mission

The exercise was a conduit meant to prepare the Marines for their future role in Afghanistan. In preparation for the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2014, the military is transitioning its strategic efforts from combat operations to building the Afghan National Security Forces capacity and capability through small adviser teams.

According to Maj. Gen. Walter L. Miller, the commanding general of II MEF (Fwd.), the primary focus of Marine forces in Afghanistan will shift from leading operations to working closely with the ANSF in an advise-and-assist role.

In Helmand province, the Marine Corps’ catalyst for helping Afghanistan will be through the employment of the SFAAT teams.

level to prepare them for the eventual transition to self-sustaining security.

Slocum said he and his team understand the importance of their job and are looking forward to working with the ANSF in Helmand.

“It’s a hard task at hand, but it is a key role,” said Slocum. “By training them and letting them do their job, we are gaining their trust. That trust will make our advisory role more successful.”

Marines and sailors with Battalion Landing Team, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit conducted vertical assault raid training at multiple urban training sites aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River recently.

Each portion of the two-week package had a different focus. Initially, Special Operations Training Group focused on helping the company develop standard operating procedures for military operations on urban terrain.

“The first week we focused on lane training, and instruction on some of the techniques and procedures associated with conducting a raid,” said Capt. Jason W. Kemp, a company commander. “It is important anytime you have a complex task, like a raid, to focus on the small unit leader and his ability to execute the supporting tasks that make the larger operation possible. We took advantage of the first week to rehearse and refine the orders process, and practice the techniques and procedures we would employ when we got on the tiltrotors.”

Finding solace in a deployed environment can come in many ways. For deployed service members, one thing’s for sure; nothing beats seeing the one thing keeping the wheels turning – family.

After a long day on patrol, time permitting, service members can simply get online and connect with family members back home – if, in fact, families stateside have computers. Fact is, some don’t, leaving some families relying on technology of the past, such as calling cards or regular mail, to communicate with their loved ones.

Enter Operation Homelink. The non-profit organization distributed 100 refurbished laptops and webcams to families of the II Marine Expeditionary Force Oct. 14 at the USO of North CarolinaJacksonville to give both families and their deployed service member better means to stay connected.

“I sincerely appreciate the efforts of Operation Homelink, the USO, and their volunteers and staff for their generous webcam and laptop computer donations to our II MEF families,” said Maj. Gen. Raymond C. Fox, the II MEF commanding general. “Family readiness is a critical component to combat readiness, and this great program directly supports it.”

Dan Shannon, president and founder of Operation Homelink, began the organization 10 years ago after looking at images of Illinois National Guard troops saying goodbye to their families before a deployment and an organization in San Diego giving laptops to families in the local area.

“I’ve never served myself. I’m a family man, a father of four, and I can only imagine what it would be like to be in those boots,” said Shannon.

New Parent Support Program Military families undergo many challenges including deployment, relocation, finding employment and juggling several simultaneous responsibilities. Adding a baby to a family brings joy unequaled by most events in life but requires a great deal of hard work. The New Parent Support Program is a professional team of social workers and nurses who provide educational and supportive services to military families. The NPSP staff of home visitors has extensive knowledge of the issues encountered by today’s parents and is particularly sensitive to the unique challenges facing military families. The NPSP helps families cope with stress, isolation, pre and post-deployment, reunions and the everyday demands of parenthood through a variety of programs. NSPS Branch Manager Mary Caldwell shares the services available.

RR –Share some details about the Baby Boot Camp program and how it reduces much of the fear involved with becoming a new parent?

MC – Baby Boot Camp is a twoday, hands-on interactive program where life-size baby dolls are used to teach bathing, swaddling and diaper-

ing. We educate parents on one of the most valuable parenting skills – how to soothe a crying baby, as well as typical infant development and other preparations required for welcoming a new baby. The skills expectant parents practice during Baby Boot Camp reduce fears, and make parents feel more competent and less anxious.

RR – Does the New Parent Support Program offer any type of financial workshops, which discuss the cost involved in having a new baby?

MC – We refer our customers to the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society that provides a detailed workshop called Budgeting for Baby. More information for the class can be found at www.nmcrs.org.

RR – Do you offer any classes to assist families prepare their existing children for a new addition to their family?

MC – Of course. Sibling adjustment is such an important factor that the topic is reviewed in Baby Boot Camp. A comprehensive training program is also offered during scheduled home visits.

Individualized instruction is offered to each family in order to enhance the parents’ adjustment skills to ensure the transition process is as smooth as pos-

sible for the existing children.

RR – Is one-on-one, in-home training available to ensure a home is babysafe and ready for a new baby?

MC – Absolutely. The NPSP staff consists of registered nurses and licensed social workers who provide training in the privacy of the client’s home. The professionals address any issues related to the child from birth through the first five years of life. Many parents are interested in what to expect during each stage of development, and they want to ensure their home environment is safe for their new addition. Parents also usually wish to discuss how to sooth a crying baby, and look for advice on proper sleep positions and nutrition concerns. All of these issues are addressed by our NPSP staff. Home visits are tailored for each individual family and provide an invaluable service at no cost to the military family.

For additional information on the New Parent Support Program, services and staff visit www.mccslejeune.com/ npsp or contact Mary Caldwell at 4499501. The NPSP staff does a fantastic job of preparing families for the excitement of parenthood.

The house we had in Watkins Village on Camp Lejeune we saw a little boy running upstairs through the reflection in the front door, which was right in front of the stairs. We thought it was our son and told him to go to bed. A few minutes later we saw the same thing. Went upstairs and our son was sleeping. Our neighbor told us that a little boy died in our house when he fell down the stairs.

SemperSafe Semper Safe

Don’t make a grave mistake, be safe It’s that time of year again. You know that Halloween is here with the costumes on display and candy on sale. In preparation for this Halloween, careful thought and planning should go into events you or your children may be participating in, and a child’s costume and how safe it may be for them as they excitedly rush about.

There is also the hazard of vehicle traffic to pedestrians, young and old goblins need to be aware of their surroundings.

Everyone needs to pay extra attention to safety on this special night. To make sure your Halloween outing is fun and safe follow these tips: Trick-or-treat hours on base are from 5 to 9 p.m., be extra cautious during these times.

Watch for children darting out from between parked cars, and enter and exit

driveways slowly.

If you are driving children, be sure they exit on the curb side, away from traffic.

Make sure an adult will be supervising the outing for children under age 12.

Review safety precautions with your children, including pedestrian and traffic rules.

Plan and discuss the route to follow and stop at houses that are well-lit, never enter a house.

Purchase or use only fire-retardant materials for costumes.

Falls are the leading cause of Halloween injuries, buy costumes that won’t cause you to trip.

Use facial make-up, it’s safer than masks that obstruct vision, and don’t wear a mask while driving.

Use flashlights so children can see and be seen by motorists, and consider use of reflective materials.

Knives, swords and other items should be made from cardboard or flexible materials.

Insist that treats be brought home for inspection before anything is eaten.

Report anything suspicious about treats to proper authorities; if in doubt, throw it out.

For you older goblins and ghouls going to parties or outings as well, many of these tips still apply. Don’t trick yourselves into getting injured, a DUI, or worse, hurting someone else. Make sure you are prepared and use operational risk management, or smart personal risk management to have a safe and enjoyable Halloween.

The statue of a Marine dressed in the uniform worn at the time of the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, watches over the names of the fallen inscribed on the Beirut Memorial near Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Oct. 11.

Beirut Marine shares memory of bombing 29 years later LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON 2nd Marine Logistics Group

The 1983 terrorist attacks on the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, killed 241 American service members and sent shockwaves through the Marine community.

The official national monument that honors those fallen service members stands only minutes from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune front gate and tells the world a short, humble message: “They came in peace.”

Approximately 30 Marines from Combat Logistics Battalion 6, 2nd Marine Logistics Group visited the Beirut Memorial Oct. 11 to ensure – even 29 years later – the legacy of the attacks and the mission in Lebanon remains strong in the minds of today’s generation.

“It was a traumatic time for the Marine Corps,” said Richard L. Ray, a retired gunnery sergeant who served aboard Camp Lejeune at the time of the bombings.

“Whether it is one, two or 241, it is like you got a body blow to the stomach when you hear something like that.”

Ray worked at the public affairs office on the base the day the attacks occurred. As soon as he learned about the scope of the event, he immediately put on his uniform and reported to his post, where his days blended into his nights as he worked “day on, stay on.”

He joined the Marines on the ground in Lebanon shortly thereafter.

“It had been 14 years since I felt a round go down range,” said Ray, a combat veteran who served three tours in Vietnam. “I can honestly tell you those 14 years

mentally never existed by the time I got to Beirut. Everything I learned popped right back into my head.”

Ray even escorted media through some of the areas known to be threatened by enemy snipers.

His role landed him on the front page of a magazine, which questioned the involvement of the U.S. military in Lebanon.

Ray saw a different attitude emerge from the American public; one that signaled a lasting change in how the military and civilian communities interacted.

“We got hundreds and hundreds of packages and letters every day to take out on the line,” said Ray, who said he passed out the overwhelming numbers of correspondence to his fellow Marines. “In Beirut we saw it, and it registered the American public’s opinion of service members was

taking a turn for the better. It’s been that way ever since.”

The overwhelming support from people in the states struck Ray especially hard. He said it was the first time in 14 years he truly felt the American public’s presence with the troops in combat.

The Beirut bombing meant just as much to the Marines still at Camp Lejeune, where Ray saw large numbers of recently retired service members return to active duty as the base responded to the crisis.

Ray was especially touched to learn the community launched a campaign to build a monument for those killed in the bombing.

“Awareness is key,” said 1st Sgt. Laureano Perez, the first sergeant of Headquarters Company, CLB-6, who organized the trip to the Beirut Memorial. “It’s one of the bloodiest losses of Marines,

and it’s something they need to know so they can pass it on to their Marines … it’s something we shouldn’t forget.”

After 23 years in the Marine Corps, Ray felt the same and rededicated his time to ensuring the memory of Lebanon is passed on to each generation of Marines.

“You understand too,” said Ray as he asked the Marines of CLB-6 about their own experiences in Afghanistan. “I was always one of those who wanted to sit at the front of the bus to see what was going on.”

He thanked them for doing the same.

The Marines with CLB-6 lined up in front of the memorial as Ray finished his presentation and shook his hand. They laid flowers at the memorial as they left to honor the memory of the lives lost.

Marines with Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, currently reinforcing the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, provide suppressing fire during the mechanized raid course aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune recently. BLT 3rd Bn., 2nd Marines is one of the three reinforcements of 26th MEU, which is slated to deploy in 2013.

M

arines a n d sailors with B a t talion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit completed the first phase of its training to become certified at performing a mechanized raid aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Oct. 19.

Under the eyes of Special Operations Training Group instructors and evaluators from the II Marine Expeditionary Force,

the company’s Marines and sailors raided targets of varying sizes and circumstances, utilizing the versatility and firepower of tanks and amphibious assault vehicles assigned to the MEU. “As part of the MEU, it’s part of our certification to be able to conduct this type of operations,” said 1st Lt. Matthew Quigley, a platoon commander. “It’s a raid force comprised of an assault element, a security element, and a support element. We have an entire track platoon, which has more heavy machine guns than an infantry battalion,” said Quigley. The raid package also incorporates the MEU’s

detachment of M1 Abrams main battle tanks. These assets allow the company to be a heavy-hitting, fastmoving raid force, capable of delivering an incredible amount of firepower.

The raid package itself is scalable to the threat or importance of the objective. From the heavy package, comprised of the full strength of the company and its mechanized assets, to the light package, operating as a quick force stripped of tanks for increased flexibility, the force can adjust for any circumstances.

“There’s been a lot of solid training in one package,” said Quigley.

Covering everything

from the basic operating procedures for breaching a building, neutralizing all resistance and marking it clear, to overall operation planning, briefing, and execution, the exercise included training for every Marine in the company, from the Marines taking the objective to the officers planning the raid.

“Marking rooms, marking buildings, clearing rooms, clearing buildings, enemy prisoner of war handling procedures, tactical site exploitation procedures, moving from the objective rally point to the objective, utilizing tracks to get from point A to point B – things of that nature,” said Sgt.

Warren Edwards, a platoon sergeant. “It’s what the package facilitates.

It facilitates consistently going out, developing the muscle memory for the Marines we’re going to need when we’re actually out there,” said Quigley.

“It’s also given us a good opportunity to work with the enablers,” said Quigley. There are other, less visible assets present at work to increase the effectiveness of the raid.

“We had two weeks of working and building the relationship with Marines from other military occupations specialties we wouldn’t necessarily work with on a regular basis.”

Engineers and explosive

ordnance demolition Marines, intelligence and assault Marines, combat camera and public affairs Marines all play a role in securing and exploiting the objective. All of these assets, allow the raid to operate on a number of levels or to be the most effective use of the MEU’s forces.

The Marines will continue to acquire proficiency in the martial art of conducting a mechanized raid, taking part in other raids as their predeployment training goes on. The company, falling under BLT 3rd Bn., 2nd Marines, is reinforcing the 26th MEU, currently slated to deploy in 2013.

Staff Sgt. Steven Williams, a trumpet player with the 2nd Marine Division Band, took the final steps in reaching his dreams by recently earning a spot on

He’s got great skills, and the downside is our band will be losing him.�

Boatright went on to say he is a great representation of the field bands and pleased Williams is moving on to bigger and better things. Bigger and better is what Williams said he strived for his entire life. “As far as putting in the time, I definitely put in the time, and I always tried to be the best at it,� said Williams, who grew up constantly striving to perfect his musical abilities. “I didn’t want to be the guy who could get the band around the field; I wanted to be the guy the band wanted to be, the guy who inspires people to do well.�

He has a work ethic that is continually inspiring both the young and older Marines.

Williams said it is driven by the love for his wife and kids, as well as the discipline and motivation instilled in him by his parents and uncle, who played a big role in

his decision to become a Marine.

Growing up in a community propelled by music, young Williams took to music like a baby takes to walking: it just came naturally. Williams said he likes to consider the haircut his uncle, who is also a Marine, gave him at age three as the first real haircut he had ever had. “I’ve had a high and tight since I was three,� said Williams. “I was always either bald or with the haircut I have today.�

Williams was proud of the haircut because it was something so simple it brought him much closer to becoming a Marine. When it came down to decision time, the young trumpet enthusiast wasted no time in enlisting on his 17th birthday, two days after 9/11.

Now, Williams will be leaving a band he dedicated endless hours of his time to make it better. Boatright, who oversees everything that happens within the band, knows it will be tough for the band to lose SEE MARINE 11A

Marine’s keen attention to detail saves lives CPL. ANTHONY WARD JR.

Regional Command Southwest

Those familiar with how wars are fought understand the importance of air superiority; without control of the skies, everything becomes more challenging.

Catching the minor issues before they become serious problems is a must because maintaining the machines that soar through the air is an important part of combat.

It is something Sgt. Vernon Kiester does well, having recently discovered a problem that could have caused some serious damage to one of his squadron’s aircraft. “I was climbing up on top of the UH1Y Huey to inspect it as there was another Huey about two helos down taxiing by,� said Kiester, a helicopter mechanic with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 469. “At the end of the blade there is a shear restraint. All four blades have one.

It allows the blade to pivot, and it takes a good portion of the flexing. I noticed the whole shear restraint was bouncing up and down.� “I hadn’t seen it before, and it didn’t seem right,� added Kiester, a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. “I went and looked into it a little further. The actual shear restraint had sheered and was just bouncing around.�

Had the helicopter taken off with a component failure of that magnitude, the loss of aircrew and aircraft was possible.

Kiester has been a Marine for seven years and throughout his time as a helicopter mechanic he saw a variety of mechanical issues. “We had a helo out at a (forward operating base). We have a guy out there who troubleshoots, and he said a bolt was spinning,� said Kiester. “I went out there and found a decent sized crack in the actual support case the transmission sits on.�

Kiester consistently demonstrated why he holds his current billet and level of certification. “I am a collateral duty quality assurance representative. It’s basically the highest qualification you can reach in our shop,� said Kiester. “We are basically supervisors over everything involving maintenance.�

Working on the flight line is the perfect place for Kiester because he proved he possesses a firm knowledge of the aircraft under his care.

HMLA-469 is in possession of a Marine who was praised by his officer-in-charge, Capt. Gregg Safinski, for his “situational awareness, technical knowledge and attention to detail,� all of which are needed to keep the helicopters in the sky and flying safe.

The team is one of the three reinforcements of 26th MEU, which is slated to deploy in 2013.

Mechanized raid course refines standard CPL. MICHAEL LOCKETT 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit

Forming up at their armory long before the sun rose, the Marines and sailors of Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines drew weapons as autumn’s cold winds blew, chilling the company as they shivered and stamped their feet, trying to warm up. Weapons drawn and accountability complete, the Marines hiked out to rendezvous with the Amphibious Assault Vehicles, boarding up and riding out to the training site under the cold grey skies as the engines of the vehicles roar in the damp morning.

The company from the team, a reinforcement of 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, is currently taking part in a mechanized raid course designed to evaluate and certify them in conducting a companystrength assault with tank and AAV support.

The Marines are focusing on refining their training, preparing to conduct their mission under a wide variety of circumstances.

“With a MEU you have to be ready for anything.

You could get dropped off in the middle of a jungle,” said Gunnery Sgt. Kevin Walker, chief instructor with the Special Operations Training Group’s mechanized raid course.

“You could get flown to Afghanistan right off the ship.”

The first week of the course is mostly geared toward refining standard operating procedures.

The third element is the security team, including the tanks and AAVs, that establishes security at the site and allows those going in to accomplish their jobs. Together, they comprise the raid package, which can be scaled up or down as the situation requires.

A heavy raid package, complete with its tanks and AAVs, is an incredible amount of firepower to

put in one place. “The raid is unique in that the ability to move from shipto-shore and from shoreto-objective is entirely organic to the MEU,” said Hundley. “The mechanized raid brings a lot to the MEU’s courses of action when they receive tasking.”

‘Every Marine a rifleman’ during training package STAFF SGT. ROBERT FISHER

24th Marine Expeditionary Unit

N

on-infantry Marines mix it up with their infantry brothers in Djibouti, with both groups becoming more familiar with each other’s roles in a Marine Air Ground Task Force.

A handful of Marines and a sailor with the Combat Logistics Battalion 24, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit saw the “other side of the coin” when they assumed an infantry role during a three-week training force package in Djibouti, which took place recently.

The extensive training package, based in the coastal mountains off the Gulf of Tadjoura, allowed the Marines from CLB24 to get back to the basics of being an infantry rifleman with their fellow Marines of Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, the ground combat element for 24th MEU. Mixing the training group with Marines from a variety of job fields allowed each Marine to gain an appreciation of each other’s role in the MAGTF. For Marines of CLB-24, whose primary mission is providing logistics support for the BLT, this opportunity allowed them to gain an understanding of why their support is needed, and how the support is requested.

“It takes them out of the supporting role and puts them in the supported role … now they see the other side of the coin. They know what goes into a resupply. Now they can understand both sides of it,” said Capt. Juan Ramos, officer in charge of the training force package. “It gives some shared understanding of what each other does. They are learning from each other.”

The training package forced the Marines through a rigorous medley of training in basic infantry skills, desert survival techniques, endurance courses and concluded with a five-day, force-on-force exercise.

“It’s nice to learn something other than just your job,” said Lance Cpl. Bradley J. McKinney, a motor vehicle operator with CLB-24. “It helps you appreciate your job and what you have. I work with a bunch of different (military occupational specialties) in motor-(transport), so I learn about other jobs, but this is different.”

Cpl. Joshua C. Riggs, a rifleman with Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, holds security on a patrol during a five-day simulated war while training in the coastal mountains of Djibouti recently.

The logistics Marines learned an array of infantry basics from handand-arm signals used to communicate silently while on patrol to establishing a patrol base and conducting 24-hour operations against another force.

“We always talk about how every Marine is a rifleman, but how often do we really get to apply it,” said Master Sgt. Chris Brueggeman, lead instructor of the training cadre. They get to do it here. They practice patrolling, hand-and-arm signals, awareness; everything a rifleman does they get the chance to do during this training package.”

A friendly rivalry always existed between the infantry Marines and their counterparts in support and logistics, referred to as ‘persons other than grunts’, or POG (pronounced with the long O sound). However, the infantry Marines ignored the division, and welcomed their logistics brethren and mentored them from day one.

“Overall, this was a good experience,” said Cpl. Kenneth G. Marks, squad leader.

He led the non-infantry squad during the training. “These guys were real receptive to the training … We treated them just like

one of us throughout the training. No one tried to put any separation between what we do and what they do.”

Overall, the CLB Marines learned a great deal about field skills, terrain appreciation and dismounted maneuver during their experience while still trying to have fun.

“It’s not every day CLB gets to do this.

I’m enjoying it,” said Lance Cpl. Matthew S. Robertson, a motor transport specialist.

Cpl. Raphael Padilla, a food service specialist with CLB-24, happily jumped at the opportunity after his gunnery sergeant asked for volunteers from the ship’s galley.

“I definitely feel more like a Marine after doing this. I had fun out here hiking, patrolling and navigating. I never really had to navigate before. We learn the basics at Marine combat training, but here we were really been able to apply those skills.

I think this opportunity was really good for these guys,” said Padilla.

“If I was on ship, I’d be cooking in the galley right now. I rather be out here with the Marines doing this. I learned a lot, and it’s been fun,” he said.

The mountain-based training forced the

Marines to mentor each other to adapt beyond the basic training and resupply techniques they conducted previously during unilateral and bilateral exercises throughout the deployment.

“When these Marines do a tactical resupply, they won’t always be able to drive to the drop-off point. They may have to dismount and patrol to the supply point then set security until the infantry Marines come pick up the supplies,” Bruggeman continued.

The training force package offered more than a new understanding of each other’s jobs; it gave them an insight into each other’s lives as well. The Marines bonded over their experience as they learned more about each other and reinforced relationships across the MAGTF. The 24th MEU is deployed with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group as a theater reserve and crisis response force for U.S. Central Command and the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet area of responsibility. A small contingent of Marines were ashore in Djibouti since August managing various unilateral, bilateral and joint exercises with other U.S. service members and French forces stationed in Djibouti.

26th Marine Expeditionary Unit

Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266 Reinforced, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and Marines and sailors with Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 26th MEU, conducted a tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel mission at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Oct. 17.

“Our simulated TRAP mission was to recover a downed (unmanned aerial vehicle) in the vicinity of Landing Zone Canary,” said Major Ivan L. Bejarano, an MV-22B Osprey pilot with VMM-266. “We inserted a 35Marine element to recover the UAV and bring the parts back. For our escorts, we had two AH-1W Super Cobras in support. The Cobras’ mission was to fly overhead and make sure there was no enemy around the insert for the troop insertion. Once the escorts deemed the area safe, we flew down and dropped the troops off.”

When the need for this type of mission is verified, the ground combat element and aviation combat element are capable of planning and conducting the mission – fast.

“Once we get notification we have to launch a TRAP, the aviation element and ground assets have 120 minutes to launch the mission,” said Bejarano. “So once we have notification, the (intelligence section) gives us a brief and VERTICAL FROM 1A The second week of the operation consisted of three situational training exercises (STX) simulating raids – one during the day and two at night. The evolutions consisted of inserting on a landing zone and coordinating a support, security and assault element to work together to close on an objective, clear any resistance and make action on the objective. After the objective was complete, they had to safely egress to a designated area and coordinate with the aviation combat element for extraction.

Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266 Reinforced supported the training by providing MV-22B Ospreys and CH-53E Super Stallions for the company’s insertion and extraction on the objectives, as well as providing casualty evacuations.

“Working with crew chiefs, we got a feel for what it will be like executing the air-movement plan while still trying to keep situational awareness via the ACE’s communication architecture,” said the company commander. “Actual air insertions, opposed to mock insertions, allowed us to expose the Marines to some of the chaos that could ensue when you get off an aircraft, especially when you are trying to link up with someone you may have never seen, planned or briefed with, like the reconnaissance and surveillance teams we met during the night STX.” It also gave the leaders of the company a good idea on how the planning process would work in a real-world situation.

“The aviation element planners at VMM-266 are professionals, and they know their doctrine,” said Kemp. “We had to work together to come up with a plan the ground combat element could

the ground element gets a brief, and then we get together and do a final coordination before the insert.”

Bejarano said VMM-266 conducted a real-life scenario TRAP mission to recover an Air Force pilot from a downed aircraft in Libya on their last deployment with the 26th MEU in March 2011.

“A TRAP mission can happen at anytime,” said Lance Cpl. Alejandro Perez, a VMM-266 crew chief. “An asset can go down at anytime, so we need to always be on the ready. The MEU is a quick reaction force so we must always be prepared for anything to happen.”

Crew chiefs aboard military aircraft are enlisted personnel and are an invaluable tool for the pilots.

“They need to know what is expected of them,” said Perez. “Crew chiefs need to know what they have in the aircraft and what their mindset needs to be. When going into a hot zone, where you have no idea what is going on, you are going to be confused and playing catch up the whole time, which is not helpful to the crew. A crew chief needs his head in the game, and to know exactly what to look for and what to do.”

Coordinating and executing missions with multiple elements can add a new level of training experience mock exercises cannot provide.

“Whenever you carry those troops, you are learning how they act and how they respond,” Perez said. You get

execute and the ACE could support based on the time, energy and focus required for completing the evolution.”

The training also allowed the company to utilize and train with various military attachments including combat engineers and counter-intelligence Marines.

“Our abilities give the company a variety of skill sets that prove to be very beneficial,” said Sgt. Tyler J. Byfield, a combat engineer squad leader, BLT, 3rd Bn., 2nd Marines. “Our explosives and breaching techniques allow us to gain entry into buildings quicker, reducing the time Marines are exposed in the open. Our assets can also detect IEDs and booby traps quicker than the normal infantry Marines.

It is much safer using our techniques.

The violence of action – surprise – while breaching allows us to confuse the enemy, which in result lowers their moral.”

As with every training exercise in the military, learning is always an important factor.

“I think the Marines put forth a lot of effort,” said Kemp. “You learn a lot more from things you don’t get right than you do from things you do get right. We had a lot of valuable lessons learned from things we recognized and things SOTG helped us recognize. Like most things, if you put a challenge out to Marines they are going to execute. Marines want to be tactically proficient and technically sound, so we had a good opportunity to work on it during this raid package.”

This course was one of three raid packages instructed by SOTG in order to help fulfill requirements from the 26th MEU’s mission essential task list. The 26th MEU is slated to deploy in 2013.

experience getting those guys in the aircraft and making sure they get strapped in their seat. In a notional mission, all you need to worry about is yourself. With training like this, you have to have your troops in mind. You have to make sure you keep them informed on where you are or how long it will be until you hit the LZ.” In this particular flight, communication and standard operating procedures between the air and ground was crucial. Perez said when the aircraft landed for the troops’ egress and they started to load up, the Osprey started sinking in a mud pit. Without hesitation the crew chiefs signaled to the ground element they needed to lift off. The remaining Marines who had not yet boarded immediately knew to run and set up security while awaiting the aircraft to find a more suitable spot to land.

Bejarano attributed the success of this type of training, as well as all other aviation mission sets, to the aid of crew chiefs.

“Without crew chiefs, we would not be able to complete the mission in our aircraft,” said Bejarano. “They provide us cover with their weapons, and they are the ones primarily responsible to get the Marines in and out of the aircraft to execute the assault or support the mission.”

This training is part of the 26th MEU’s pre-deployment training. The 26th MEU is slated to deploy in 2013.

Brig. Gen. James Lukeman, commanding general of 2nd Marine Division, thanks Dan Shannon, president and founder of Operation Homelink, for all he did for the families and service members by providing them with laptops Saturday morning at the USO North Carolina Jacksonville.

HOMELINK FROM 1A “I wanted to do something to give back for all the sacrifices made by all those who are sacrificing on my behalf.”

Operation Homelink is a self-funded, all volunteer organization. The organization receives software and computers from major companies such as Raytheon, Dell, Fluor, Southwest Airlines and Microsoft. These companies provided more than 7,000 computers to military families, wounded warriors and unemployed veterans.

“Some of the more powerful sentiments expressed are when someone tells us, through this program, it shows the service members and their families are not forgotten and there are people out there still willing to support them,” said Shannon.

Shannon spoke to the families who gathered at the USO, and he played Mark Schultz’s “Letters from War” music video. The song shows the importance of communication between loved ones and their service members overseas, giving meaning behind the importance of staying in touch.

“You won’t find the word ‘free’ anywhere on our website. These (computers and webcams) were not free,” said Shannon. “(Service members earned them) when they signed the paperwork. Every morning, they strap on their boots to do the heavy lifting for the 99 percent of us who don’t serve. These were earned and paid for by all the families back home. They’re not free, but they’re a small token of appreciation for all the sacrifices the military families and service members are making for the rest of us,” said Shannon.

Helmand: It’s all about context Rule of Law training CAMP LEATHERNECK, AFGHANISTAN

ANDREW COLLINGWOOD

Helmand Provincial Reconstruction Team Deputy Director of Operations

Upon arriving in Helmand province in March 2011, I remember being asked by a senior colleague what my first impression was. ‘It’s chaos’ I replied. I was quickly corrected – ‘I think you mean complex and challenging.’ At the time I didn’t really appreciate the difference. At a glance, it’s easy to believe we do operate in an element of chaos. Having not worked with the military before, the concept of regional commands, task forces, battle groups and battalions was completely alien, and it was before I even got to the multinational, multi-agency Provincial Reconstruction Team, let alone the Afghans. However, as my 18 months in the PRT comes to an end, I tend to agree with the description I was corrected with. It’s all about understanding the context.

Nearly 4,000 locals turned up to participate in Afghan-led district council elections in Nahr-e Saraj with security provided by Afghan National Security Forces.

With such an international investment in Helmand, it’s important to remember what the PRT is trying to achieve. As another colleague put it, ‘we are trying to get Helmand to development level zero.’ Within this context, there was great success. When I arrived, district governors did little for themselves. Our role in the districts is now about pointing the district administration to Afghan systems and resources, coordinated through mechanisms like sector working groups and district and provincial development plans — Afghan delivered, Afghan owned.

The catalyst for this was transition. The transition of governance and development is a slightly perverse MARINE FROM 6A such a hard working Marine. But, he is sure Williams inspired enough hearts and minds to keep them going strong.

“It’s going to take at least two Marines to fill what he’s doing for us now,” explained Boatright. “Logistically, musically and as a staff noncommissioned officer, he talks the talk and walks the walk. We have a lot of Marines who look up to him and say, ‘I want to be like Staff Sgt. Williams, I want to do what he’s doing,’ and it’s what you want out of a leader.”

Williams feels he is ready to take on the responsibility ahead as the assistant drum major, but wanted to leave his Marines with these words “I want them to always have the underdog mentality,” concluded Williams. “You know, when I went into the board against three other Marines who were all senior to me and all held the drum major billet before, it seemed I was the least common denominator in the decision of who was going to get the position. So, I think it’s a good example of when it seems impossible, keep fighting for what you want. You’ll get it, eventually.”

concept. Unlike security, we have never ‘owned it.’ As a result, it’s difficult to measure. Success is not about tashkiel fills or amount of assistance, it’s about Afghans having confidence and capability in their own systems and having the freedom to travel across the province to implement them.

Transition empowered Afghans to take control. It’s also forced us to step back. This can feel uncomfortable but in my experience, providing a little extra space for Afghans to operate results in them finding a way to deliver. It’s not perfect, but it is working. Our team in Musa Qala stopped funding the Mayor’s office. Although angry at first, the Mayor eventually began to collect taxes in the bazaar, using the money to fund his office and subsequently a waste disposal service. There are so many examples of this over my last 18 months; Afghan-led district council elections in Nahr-e Saraj with security provided by ANSF and 4,000 locals turning up to participate and Afghan officials travelling by road to districts after helicopter support was turned off. I could go on.

As my 18 months comes to end, I hope people working here and the many commentators remember the context. As we draw down our numbers even more, it will become even more complex and challenging to see the success. But I’m confident it will not be chaos.

well received COURTESY STORY

Regional Command Southwest

Approximately 60 residents of Helmand province attended seminars on the Rule of Law in early October.

The seminars focused on the concept of critical thinking and elements of the Afghan Penal Code.

Discussions between local elders and the Afghan Uniformed Police in both Kajaki and Musa Qala districts of the province resulted in an agreement to strengthen their relationships and continue to develop police interaction with locals.

Attendees also expressed their interest to have more indepth training on Afghan law.

These training seminars were conducted by the Justice Sector Support Program, a nationwide program which brings Rule of Law training to more remote areas of Afghanistan as well as sustainment training to Rule of Law actors across the government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

The Justice Sector Support Program is funded by the U.S. Department of State.

Beach2Battleship triathletes test skills JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

T

rue dedication knows no limits. It is not crippled by time, impatience or projected outcome.

True dedication has the ability to overcome hurdles and obstacles, and can be revived with the smallest glimmer of hope.

The first rays of light were barely breaking through a thin layer of clouds as trolleys made their way to Wrightsville Beach, N.C., Saturday morning carrying load after load of athletes. These swimmers, clad in wetsuits and swim caps, and clutching goggles and nose plugs, filed out quietly, shaking the last of the morning slumber from their bones as they meandered across the sandy beach and walked into the water’s edge. Trolley after trolley followed until competitors and

supporters lined the south end of the beach, anxiously waiting the start of the Beach2Battleship full and half Iron Man triathlon.

For many competitors, time seemed to stand still as they acquainted themselves with the cool waters of the Cape Fear and waited for the 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. start times for the swim portion of the event. Passing the time by talking to and taking photos with other participants, a collective sigh of relief echoed when everyone was called to the start line.

As event coordinators pumped up the participants with last-minute instructions and well wishes for a safe race, competitors jostled together in the shoot, trying to stay warm and keep moving until the start. They SEE TRIATHLON 10B Photos by Jessie Heath

Speckled trout bite keeps water hot in cool weather

The speckled trout bite is growing stronger with every passing day.

Current hot spots include many of the traditional areas from Middle Marsh and North River to the Haystacks, and Core and Adams Creeks, Bogue Sound, Bear Island and down to New River.

Don’t forget the rock jetties at Radio Island and behind Shackleford Banks.

Speckled trout are also at the Cape Lookout Rock Jetty, where the trout are already showing along with good catches of redfish.

The water is still warm but cooling, which should push the trout up into the creeks in better numbers and give us some more consistent catches in the surf too. But with the trout already at the Lookout Jetty, we should see numbers picking up in the surf any time now.

Last week Capt. Dean Lamont and I worked the astronomical high tides up into the flooded grasses along Core Creek for tailing redfish.

There were great tides, calm winds and glassy water, but no redfish. If they were there, we could have seen them sneeze from 200 yards, but they weren’t.

Plan B was to work the Haystacks on the outgoing tide for specks. We fished the wide, short creek cutting through the Haystacks and throwing Zoom Super Flukes on an eighth ounce jig, and limited out nicely with fish to 19-inches.

With the water still warm, the fish were hitting hard and fighting hard. We also lost some big ones before we got the net under them. As the water cools, we will get into the bump hit and sluggish, fighting fish.

This time of year most of the tackle shops are selling live shrimp for trout bait, and there are tons of shrimp still in the backwaters. If you prefer artificial bait, plastic shrimp work well, other soft plastics like the Super Flukes worked for us and remember MirrOlures, including the suspending 27

and 17-MR MirrOlures, are killer baits.

The bottom fishing on the piers and along the surf recently perked up with an amazing variety.

Hogfish, spots, sea mullet, pompano, red and black drum, sheepshead and flounder are doing well. Fresh shrimp and bloodworms, of the Fishbites synthetic baits are all producing.

Near the beach, and around and inside the inlets the spot catch is getting better. You can’t keep the gray trout off your hooks, many in the three to four-pound class.

The spot yacht traffic picked up considerably around the drawbridge in Beaufort, the Emerald Isle high-rise bridge and in the waterway below the White Oak River bridges.

Oceanana reports sea mullet and lots of blues.

Bogue Pier had a real potpourri of fish this week. Red drum, quite a few black drum, pompano, small flounder, spots, sea mullet, blues and Spanish. They also decked several two to three-pound trout.

Seaview Pier also had a nice mix of sea mullet, spots, pompano, blues, Spanish, R&B drum, but no kings.

Surf City reports similar good catches of spots, pompano, mullet, flounder, a cobia strike and speckled trout in the four-

and-a-half-pound range.

The four-and-a-halfpound trout was caught on a piece of shrimp on a bottom rig. No kings this week.

Jolly Roger reports good catches of spots.

Many of them are the legendary big yellow-bellied spawners. They also report sea mullet, pompano, blues and a king mackerel just about every day for the past week.

The false albacore fishing is as good as it was in years. Most recently the fish can be found in good numbers three to four miles offshore of the Lookout Shoals.

If it’s bigger fare you are looking for, the inshore king mackerel bite is still holding up and some of the fish are moving out to the Northwest places and 13-Buoy, and on the east side of the shoals.

Offshore the wahoo and blackfin tuna fishing is still excellent, although you may need to do a bit of running around to find them. As usual they are somewhere between the Big Rock and Swansboro Hole.

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

Student-athlete struggles

Should grade point averages matter

Growing up, I was the kid in the classroom nobody liked. I was the one who reminded the teacher she forgot to assign homework, asked if we were going to be quizzed on our work and was genuinely excited about taking written exams.

While I wasn’t unaware of the fact my enthusiasm for school frustrated my peers, I was also acutely aware I wasn’t the only person who got excited about school.

In my local high school, all student athletes were excited about school. We had to be. In order to stay on our high school teams, a high grade point average was not only expected – it was required.

We weren’t just jocks. We were the kids who spent afternoons and evenings in the library, talking to teachers and getting the necessary help to ensure strong grades. Our parents, teachers, coaches and school system expected it of us, and we grew to expect it of ourselves.

Recently, I read an article about school systems lowering the GPA requirements for student-athletes in order to keep athletes on various sporting teams. Some schools even went as far as to drop GPA requirements all together in an effort to keep students on high school teams.

This ever-growing trend is gaining more merit nationwide and already put into place in school

systems across America, from Boston to Shelton, Wa. Educators in support of the practice argue asking students to meet GPA requirements to play sports was not an effective method to boost test scores or graduation rates. Instead, they back up their decision by saying they saw smaller teams and listened to various students scared to take difficult classes for fear of losing playing eligibility over bad grades.

I can’t come to grips with the idea of dropping GPA requirements. If I’m being completely honest, it makes me angry.

There are two sides to being a student-athlete. While I cannot argue the fact certain educators do not see improvements in graduation rates or test scores without sufficient research, I certainly do not see how dropping GPA requirements is going to help studentathletes in any way, shape or form.

If anything, I see a dimly lit future for kids who were never pressured to perform better, but were instead handed a football and told, “throw this and everything will be okay.”

The sad fact is the school systems that are dropping and lowering GPA requirements are doing so because they do not have faith in the ability of their students to perform at the same level of other stereotypes within the school.

These student-athletes are set up for failure by the same people who are supposed to be setting the example for a bright future.

Instead, they are being hung out to dry. Their success in the classroom, they are told in a silent manner, is not as important as the success of the school football team.

Student-athletes are leaders in their schools. Their participation in the classroom should be

expected and encouraged, just like their participation on the field or court. Their position on a sports team puts them in the limelight and whether they expect it or not, causes other students to look up to them as role models.

As individuals, my hope is student-athletes would push themselves to work harder than those around them. However, the reality is they are still minors and are in need of guidance from teachers, coaches and other educators in the school system.

GPA requirements for studentathletes are not set at unattainable highs. Often, GPA requirements are between 2.5 and 3.0. Lowering a GPA requirement does not give student-athletes any incentive to work, and sends a negative message to other students, who are still expected to perform well in the classroom.

The ability to play sports in high school is a privilege. It is not a right. Attempting to drop the GPA requirements does not mean the student part of student-athletes goes away.

All it means is schools no longer have their student’s best interest at heart.

Middle school football prepares students for high school competition JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

Deep within the heart of every growing boy is the desire to be part of something more than himself. Boys of all ages, from toddlers to elderly men, long to take part in adventure.

Sometimes adventure stems from natural talents and abilities. Other times it has to be planted, nurtured and molded.

It is exactly what Doug Erny, the newly appointed Brewster Middle School athletic director, is doing.

When Brewster Middle School announced their plans to introduce a sports program to their student population, interest from student-athlete hopefuls started pouring in. This year, in their first year as a competitive school, Brewster Middle School offered 12 different sports to their students.

While Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has long offered youth sports fall programs to patrons aboard base, playing football in a more competitive middle school setting is new and exciting for the young men on the BMS team. “The kids are ecstatic to get a chance to play sports in school,� said Erny. “I can speak for football right now, and I know we go through struggles winning and losing every day, but the kids are still coming every afternoon to work hard.�

Unlike their in-town rivals, whose athletic programs were in place for years, the Brewster Middle School program is building itself from the ground up. It doesn’t stop their athletes from working as hard as they can, though, and it certainly doesn’t stop coaches from shaping the desire rooted deep within the heart of their young studentathletes. “We instilled within them we are no longer playing with a recreational league mentality,� explained Erny. “Just because you’re on the team doesn’t mean you will play every game.

You have to earn your position. We don’t allow them to miss practice on a regular basis. We’re trying to set ground rules for them so we can help build a good future.�

Nurturing his studentathletes’ desire to be part of something more than themselves is only half the battle of starting a brand new football team, though, and the Bulldogs overcame various challenges through their season.

While most high school student-athletes have experience on the field before they reach a high school level of competition, middle school students are still learning

the basics. Before they are ready for the big leagues, they have to learn the fundamentals of competitive play. “With middle school you have to get back to the basics a little more,� admitted Erny. “Coming from the high school, where most athletes played before, we could build on the skills they already had. Now we have to go back to the basic fundamentals. “It’s the type of stuff you take for granted as a coach,� Erny added. “We do a little more basic drills in practice, and focus less on team stuff and more on individuals.�

Focusing on individual growth means teaching every student the specifics he or she needs to learn to play their position properly. Defensive end players have to be groomed to play their position well. This requires individual attention for every athlete on the football team.

Individual attention means student-athletes on the BMS football team are under the spotlight in the classroom, as well as on the field. Their grades and attitudes are expected to reflect those of leaders, just like the studentathletes at Lejeune High School. “We want to be a true feeder program,� explained Erny. “We want to build our program so kids who transition over to the high school level have a smooth transition. “We have stricter academic requirements than most school systems, so we’re trying to run our program in the same light as the high school program is run in.�

Being a feeder program for the high school doesn’t just involve students. Parental support and community involvement was crucial in the development of the middle school sports’ programs at Brewster. “The PTA jumped right in and helped us out a lot,� said Erny. “We also have parents who feed the team before every game just because they want to. I hope it continues. We had a parents meeting before the start of the season, and I told them in order for us to be successful, they had to be willing to make a commitment to the team, just like their sons and daughters. “They are really incredible. We have tremendous support from parents and the community in general. While we had a few problems, I haven’t seen anything major come across my desk.�

(Right) Members of the Brewster Middle School football team enter the stadium before the start of their home game against Swansboro Middle School aboard MCB Camp Lejeune Oct. 9. Creating a middle school athletic program from the ground up gave student-athletes the chance to participate in inaugural season events.

School continues to be built and groomed into what Erny hopes it will become, he looks toward the future for his studentathletes, who are all hopeful about how they will compete in the games and seasons to come. “Hopefully in the next couple of years, we’ll see ourselves competing for some championships,� said Erny. “But as long as we’re doing what’s important here and keeping these student-athletes working as students first, we’re going to grow and be just fine.�

The final regular season football game will be held at Brewster Middle School Oct. 30. Tickets will be sold at the gate.

The game is open to all interested supports and fans. For more information on the athletic programs offered at Brewster Middle School call 451-2561.

Marine runs for fallen service members LANCE CPL. SCOTT W. WHITING

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The Marine Corps is turning 237 years old this year. Marines honor the enriched history of the Corps in many different ways to show their respect for those who came before today’s service members. One officer aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune found a way to honor the service and its fallen Marines at the same time.

Capt. Jason W. Dequenne, a logistics officer with II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), ran 236 miles last year, starting at the infamous Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, running 210 miles to the starting point of the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C., and finishing the 26.2 mile-long race. He plans to do the same this year, adding another mile for the 237th year of the Marine Corps’ existence.

Dequenne says, however, running 236 last year

and 237 for the birthday this year, is about much more than just running a long distance.

“Once I dreamt up this challenge, I wanted to honor our fallen,” said Dequenne.

He runs each mile for different fallen Marines he either served with, someone he heard about from a friend or read about online.

Dequenne says it’s the least he can do for someone who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

“I took the challenge to help tell their stories a little

better,” he said. “When a deployed service member is killed in action overseas, sometimes all people see is he or she was killed in combat operations. It doesn’t do them justice. I hear about these people, and I dig deeper. I’ll call their family, see if they’re okay with me running for their family member, and ask for more information on their service member, and find out who they were. After I get more information on a fallen Marine, I write a paragraph about who they were and post it online, and run a mile dedicated to them.”

Deqeunne posts their stories online so anyone following his 237 mile run can learn more about the Marines he is running for on a specific day. On average, he runs approximately 15 miles each day for 15

different Marines.

“I plan to have 211 miles down by the Marine Corps Marathon at the end of October,” said Dequenne.

“After those 26 miles, I’ll be at 237.”

Deuqeunne said finding 237 different Marines from last year can be a challenge, but one he has no problem accomplishing.

“These heroes deserve more than a small obituary entry,” he said. “They did the hard job by giving their life for a grateful nation; all I’m doing is running one mile for each.”

Dequenne said he plans to run for his fallen fellow comrades every year he can.

“The Marine Corps gets older every year, but so do I,” he said jokingly.

“As long as I can move my legs I’ll be doing the yearly run.”

Dequenne can be seen running around Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune until the Marine Corps Marathon and said he would love company if anyone wants to join him.

“Anyone can come out and run with me,” he said.

“I wouldn’t ask anyone to run the whole 15 miles of course, but if someone wants to run a mile or two with me, I would love to have them.”

Anyone interested in following Dequenne’s journey to 237 can find more information on freedomthroughsacrifice. org. Dequenne said he is always accepting submissions for additions to his list of Marines killed in action.

Anyone who wants to run with him can contact him through the Facebook page for Freedom Through Sacrifice.

(Above) Philip Kanjuka passes crowds mulling through downtown Wilmington, N.C., as he makes his way to the finish line for the bike portion of the Beach2Battleships triathlon Saturday. More than 1,000 competitors joined forces to compete in the full and half-Iron Man triathlon, which spanned four counties. (Top right) Three competitors pose for a photo together before the start of the 7:30 a.m. full Iron Man swim at the south end of Wrightsville Beach Saturday. (Right) David Clodgo pauses to get a hug and encouragement from his daughter. Runners were given 17 hours to finish the full-Iron Man and 10 to finish the half-Iron Man competition, which ended with a run through scenic downtown Wilmington.

TRIATHLON FROM 1B moving until the start.

They adjusted their caps, set their watches, and peered eagerly into the water, still grey in the early-morning light.

With less than 10 seconds to the start of the event, the tension in the air was palpable.

Supporters counted down and rang cowbells, held up signs, and shouted for their favorite participants.

Competitors set their eyes on the water. The next nine to 17 hours were dedicated to reaching the finish line by any means necessary.

Retired Marine Edward McDermott was excited about the event as he waded into the water for the start of the swim. With more than 20 years of triathlon experience, participating in the Beach2Battleship was exhilarating.

“I’ve been doing triathlons on and off, but since I retired I was able to focus a whole year on it,” said McDermott. “In the past, it was always ‘Do a six-month deployment, come back and try to work out a little.’

It’s more effective now though, when I can get into the overall effect of things.”

While participants from outside the state were raving about the warm

weather and water temperatures, local competitors were less thrilled with the weather.

“For those of us who live in North Carolina, it was cold in the morning,” McDermott admitted. “I’ve been here since 1997, and it was a cool morning.”

However, McDermott admitted the cool October weather was more conducive to running a triathlon than it was in years past. The Beach2Battleship triathlon, usually held in mid-November, was pushed up this year, giving participants more daylight and warmer weather.

“People who live in North Carolina know November as cold and rainy,” said McDermott.

“I’m glad they decided to move it up three weeks, and it paid off for them, too, with nicer weather than last year.”

Once he got moving, McDermott said keeping a steady pace and not concerning himself with the business of other athletes on the course helped him reach the finish line.

While some athletes are stronger in one area than another, each

portion of the race offers its own unique set of challenges to triathletes.

McDermott, whose swimming abilities were not as strong as his others, focused on sticking to a steady pace instead of trying to beat everybody around him.

“I’m not a strong swimmer, but I maintain a steady pace,” said McDermott. “On the bike ride, I ride decent, but I still had to think about the upcoming run so I didn’t give up everything I had on the bike.

“If you burn all your fuel on your bike, it will be harder to run,” McDermott reasoned.

For an athlete who p p y trainingg 15 prepared by hours a week and has a history of competing in full-Iron Man distance triathlons, the half-Iron Man distance still offered a challenge. The long-distance rural bike ride through several different counties, coupled with wind and followed by a long-distance run, made staying focused a challenge.

However, the views at the finish lines made the PPD Beach2Battleship triathlon more exciting and worthwhile than some of the others McDermott competed in.

“I spent some time in Europe and did Iron Man Frankfurt and Iron Man Austria,” explained McDermott. “I’ve been to Florida for a couple of Iron Man’s too, but this is local and put together very well. It’s one of the top two triathlons in the continental United States.

“The point that makes it interesting is you’re not constantly returning to the same place,” added McDermott. “You start out in Wrighstville Beach p runningg and end up downtown with a great view as you approach the finish line.”

Despite the lonesome bike ride, though, the most difficult part of the triathlon came at the end for McDermott.

“I was running really well until mile six, and then it was like the

wheels fell off,” McDermott admitted. “I was hitting all my goal paces and running a seven minute, thirty second mile, and then I was wanting to give up.”

Defeat bore down on him as he struggled through four miles of the run with aching legs.

Determined not to be outdone, McDermott finally shook himself back to life at mile 10 and finished the last portion of the race strong.

“The nice thing about the run is there are always people around. They’re cheering for families, and you get a little something from that.”

When he approached the finish line, completing the half-Iron Man distance in 27th place, McDermott acknowledged his appreciation it

was over. However, as badly as he wanted to sit and relax, he still had to get himself back to his car, which was parked at Wrightsville Beach. In keeping with the dedication he’d shown in the rest of the race, McDermott hopped on his bike and made his way back to the starting line in Wrightsville Beach.

“There was a sense of relief when I crossed the finish line,” said McDermott. “I was glad it was over with. When you see the finish line coming up, you are very pleased with yourself. You could always think you could have done better, but I’m happy.”

Spouses of Marines and sailors competed in the Spouses Lejeune Area Kickball Association tournament Oct. 13-14. Most of the spouses were wives of Marines and sailors aboard Camp Lejeune, but husbands and spouses from other commands could also share in the camaraderie.

All proceeds the tournament raised from concessions and other donations go to Wounded Warrior Battalion – East with the remaining funds donated to the Camp Lejeune Fisher House.

“This tournament benefits Wounded Warrior Battalion – East’s Warrior Athletic Rehabilitation Program through concessions and the optional entry fee challenge. We

donate the money to go toward the program,” said Caitlin Lewis, SLAKA’s commissioner. “The concession items are donated from all the teams, to maximize the funds donated.”

The members of SLAKA not only play, but also umpire and sell concessions and help out the tournament wherever needed.

“The purpose of SLAKA is to help spouses and give them an outlet, while also getting them together for something besides just lunch,” said Brodie Lien, one of the SLAKA coordinators.

The association was established in 2010 by spouses of Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment to have fun and build camaraderie before the unit left for a scheduled deployment.

Buddy Walk raises support, opens doors to Down syndrome community awareness JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

Everybody needs a support network. Whether it comes in the form of a sports team, close friends or complete strangers, nobody should walk through the trials of life without someone to guide them.

When it comes to support families with children who have Down syndrome, the Down Syndrome Network for Onslow and Carteret Counties is determined to help create a family-style atmosphere. Their mission to connect families and enhance the lives of people with Down syndrome brought families together in 2011. One year later, they are ready and eager to

introduce themselves to the community who supports them.

The first local Buddy Walk will take place at the Jacksonville Commons Recreational Center this Saturday. The Buddy Walk, a trademark walk established by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995, is used to help celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness month every October. With more than 300 walks taking place across the country, the Buddy Walk was designed so anybody could participate without special training.

For Jennifer Wiser and Robin Mouton, the president and vice president of DSNOCC, the Buddy Walk is a way to introduce community members of the new and budding organization.

“The Buddy Walk is our first big fundraiser and event,” said Wiser. “Robin and I worked very closely on it, and we only expected about 100 people when we started.”

“Now, we have almost 400 participates, including volunteers,” Mouton added. “We’re only a year old.

I think it’s a testament to the fact the community was ready for something like this organization to come along.”

The Buddy Walk will begin at 10 a.m. at the Jacksonville Commons, where participants will take place in a small opening ceremony, featuring several community members with Down syndrome. Throughout the one-mile walk, Hall of Fame posters will highlight the achievements of various children and adults with Down syndrome in the Onslow and Carteret County areas.

“We want to highlight the achievements of our members,” explained Wiser. “We want to educate the community and teach them they are more like typically developing children than not. We have actresses, athletes, four-year-old’s who know their ABC’s, and

In addition to the one-mile walk and Walk of Fame, DSNOCC will host a silent auction that will last the entire length of the event. With various baskets from local community businesses, the silent auction is another way to raise funds for Down Syndrome awareness.

While planning a large event is never easy, the reward will be well worth the work, Mouton and Wiser believe.

“The Buddy Walk Committee we have has gone over the moon to make this happen,” explained Mouton. “They’ve put in donations, made posters and volunteered. They are vital to this walk.

“It will be incredibly rewarding to see the community out with us,” added Mouton. “Again, I think it’s a testament to how ready the community was. They rolled out the red carpet for us.”

Comprised of approximately 75 percent active-duty and retired military families, DSNOCC plans to use a portion of the funds raised from the walk to help new military families adjust to life aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Stations Cherry Point and New River.

“We have baby packs that will be a big push with the funds,” said Wiser. “We also work closely with the Exceptional Family Member Program, and one of our board members works with the (MCAS) New River EFMP.” Day-of registration for the Buddy Walk will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday. The Buddy Walk will begin at 10 a.m.

Deadly radiation kills if it goes undetected, and it falls upon specially trained Marines to alert units of the unseen danger.

More than 30 Marines from various units within the 2nd Marine Logistics Group learned how to counter radiation by using the AN/PDR-77 during the Monitor Survey Reconnaissance Course aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune from Oct. 15 to 18.

“Every unit is responsible for having a select number of Marines who are certified with this

equipment,” said Sgt. Steven D. Potts, a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense specialist with Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd MLG. It could possibly save the lives of many service members, he added.

CBRN defense specialists trained the Marines to use the AN/PDR-77, a small, box-shaped sensor that detects alpha, beta, gamma and X-ray radiation.

“This (course) provides a tool for the commanding officer if we ever face a CBRN attack,” said Sgt. Jason L. Stacy, a CBRN defense specialist with CLR-27, 2nd

MLG. “These reconnaissance teams can find the extent of the contamination or radiation, what type of chemical is present or how much radiation is present, and we can use the area, or find a clean route through or around it.”

The students underwent more than 10 hours of classroom lectures and then had to test their skills during practical application to meet the Marine Corps’ requirements.

The students donned protective suits and gas masks, which formed a barrier against contaminated environments. They then responded to a simulated radio-

active catastrophe, where they measured and plotted contaminated areas.

The mission-oriented protective posture gear, better known as MOPP gear, can be a challenge on its own.

“Wearing MOPP gear is not fun,” said Stacy. “It’s hot and even the simplest tasks become difficult while you are in MOPP gear.”

The students filtered their way through the area in groups of three, preparing them to respond as a team to natural or manmade disasters that can cause harmful radiation.

“Not knowing exactly what the contamination is and how much there is can be a challenge,” said Stacy. “The terrain and the time it takes to find the extent of the contamination, and spending a long time in MOPP gear can be exhausting.”

Each Marine used the equipment to measure the simulated radiation levels at specific points along the course. They placed the sensors on the ground and then evaluated the results.

The training is conducted once a month so service members can stand ready to respond to radioactive disasters.

Because of a lack of late-night customers, the Hadnot Point 7-Day Store will no longer be open to service people 24 hours a day.

“The need just isn’t there,” said Kim Oliver, marketing director for Marine Corps Community Services. “We researched the amount of foot traffic going into the seven day store during the early morning and there just aren’t that many people going to buy things.”

The 7 day store will open Monday through Saturday 6 a.m. and will remain open until midnight every night. The store will open 9 a.m. Sundays.

Oliver said the Mainside Marine Mart on Holcomb Boulevard and Birch Street will now open at 5:30 a.m. during weekdays to give Marines coming on base in the mornings a place to go to get a bite to eat or whatever else they may need. The Marine Mart will be closed on weekends however.

“If the demand for extended hours comes back, we will adjust our hours to fit what the (base inhabitants) need,” said Oliver. “It just isn’t very cost effective to keep the place running with people on the clock if the store doesn’t get much business.”

A barbecue brought a happy reprieve from appointments to the wounded warriors of Wounded Warriors Battalion-East aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune recently.

The North Carolina Combat Veteran Motorcycle Association 15-4 hosted the barbecue to show their support and care for the wounded warriors.

Plenty of food was prepared for the Marines and staff of the WWB-E. Not only was there the normal cookout fare with burgers, hot dogs and beans, but there was also

a whole split-open pig on the grill and soft drinks available. Marines in attendance expressed their appreciation and said the food was great.

“I had a burger and a hot dog, it was pretty good,” said Gunnery Sgt. Marcus Williams, a WWB-E, platoon commander and battalion equal opportunity representative. “(NCCVMA) knows what they’re doing on the grill, (the food) wasn’t over-cooked at all.”

This was the first barbecue NCCVMA 15-4 held for the Wounded Warriors Battalion.

“My main purpose is to let the Marines know I love the Marines, I love the Marine

Corps, and I want the Marines to know (NCCVMA) cares about them,” said H. T. Huchi, chapter commander for Onslow county NCCVMA 15-4 otherwise known as Hooch. “It helps Marines out. I spent 25 years in the Marine Corps, and did two tours in Afghanistan as well as Iraq so I know what (the wounded warriors) have been through.”

Hooch said events like this barbecue are therapeutic to the wounded warriors and believes it helps limit thoughts of suicide.

“We’re very humble and grateful for the services (NCCVMA) provide,” said Lt. Col. Nicholas Davis, WWB-E battalion commander.

Mess Hall 128 earns nomination for Food Service Award Photos by Cpl. Damany Coleman

Mess Hall 128, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, earned a nomination for the Gen. W.P.T. Hill Award. The dining facility replaced a World War II era mess hall approximately a year ago and features the Department of Defense’s first drive-thru window.

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

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Mess Hall 128 was nominated to represent the East Coast in a competition to determine the best mess hall in the Marine Corps.

The Marine Corps along with the National Restaurant Association is set to recognize the greatest in several categories, including

Best Military-Contractor Garrison Mess Hall, Best Reserve Field Mess, Best Full Food Service Contracted Garrison Mess Hall and Best Active Field Mess with the Gen. W.P.T. Award.

“The award is meant to improve our culinary skills through the spirit of competition,” said Charlie E. Cone, the food service officer for Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Mess Hall 128 is competing in the category of Best Full Food Service Contracted Garrison Mess

Hall against other mess halls overseas and on both coasts.

Nominees are determined by the score received during frequent inspections.

“They need to have superior service and quality of food,” said Cone.

The dining facility replaced a World War II-era mess hall approximately a year ago and features the Department of Defense’s first drive-thru window.

“Marines are constantly on the go,” said Cone. “(The drive thru)

is convenient for them. They don’t have to rush through lunch, and they can (conduct physical training) before coming to the mess hall.”

However, the mess hall offers more than a drive thru to its Marines. “(Mess Hall 128) has a relaxing atmosphere, the mess attendants are friendly and the management really cares about serving Marines,” said Cone.

The award recognizes the hard work of employees who work

through all holidays and weekends. They gain the satisfaction of knowing they are the best of all mess halls in the world.

Mess Halls are important; they provide a nutritional fare to power the base’s Marines through the day and the competition keeps them sharp.

“The competition makes everyone want to do a better job,” said Cone.

Representatives for the nominated mess halls are slated to go to Chicago for an award ceremony.

They’re new, and they’re on the move.

Sailors with 2nd Dental Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group breathed life into their Junior Enlisted Association in September, and they don’t plan on stopping to catch their breath.

The association acts as a forum for junior enlisted sailors to voice their opinions, build camaraderie and directly impact the community around them. It also helps deepen the service members’ connections to their unit.

“When I first came here, it was kind of hard to adjust to the way things were,” said Petty Officer 3rd Class Calvin B. Hanks, the president and founding member of the association. “I decided to make a change – not only to become a better person, but a better sailor.”

The association’s members elected Hanks as their president shortly after the group was established, and they set right to work launching their first major event – a three-mile suicide awareness walk through the streets of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

“The reception was extravagant,” said Hanks.

Several of the battalion’s senior leadership joined the 45 other participants for the walk to draw attention to the association’s cause in spite of the event’s short notice.

The battalion’s response to JEA stayed strong as a whole, noted Hanks, who credits the support of his senior enlisted mentors and unit command for helping to

create and guide the group.

“They inspired me to use the potential I always had,” he said. “Your idea can be put out directly so the entire command is impacted. It is what it was afforded to me, along with the opportunity to have more camaraderie with my fellow junior enlisted.”

After less than two months as an official association on base, JEA already added 16 service members to its ranks. The number of participants is continually growing, said Hanks, and the group’s meetings frequently attract more of the unit’s sailors, who want to see if JEA is right for them.

Hanks said he feels JEA serves as a light for other enlisted service members, whether they are getting out of the military or staying in. It can show them they can have an impact and there is a path for them to be successful.

“We want to be on a broader scale,” said Hanks, who was part of a JEA at his previous command and would like to see the organization grow to include even more units. “I feel like it shouldn’t be limited. There is more power in numbers. If we all come together collectively, we could have a huge impact not only on our commands aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, but the community surrounding us.”

The group already began reaching beyond the base’s gates. They are working to get in contact with local retirement communities, where they can send sailors – decked out in their finest Navy attire – to bring food and entertainment to the residents.

The Integrated Disability Evaluation System is the process used to rate whether a service member is fit for duty or discharge, and the length of time it takes aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune was cut by more than half.

The DoD gives ratings to classify if a service member is fit for duty or not, while the VA gives ratings based on all medical related issues. With the different screening guidelines service members are often confused why the compensation they receive for being medically retired differentiates, said Lt. Lisa A. Cook, department head for patient administration with Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune.

More than 7,000 Marines aboard MCB Camp Lejeune are on limited duty status awaiting rating from the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs after they teamed up to provide ratings side-by-side.

Congress mandates the IDES process take no more than 295 days but aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, it only takes 180 days, said Cook.

It wasn’t Congress that sped up the process, but rather coordination with small unit leadership and limited duty representatives in commands to get paperwork and processing done faster, said Cook.

With a back log in 2010, service members had to wait nearly two years for their processing to be finalized but with the new combined support there is almost no wait.

Over 1,300 service members were already processed this year through medical boards.

The DoD and VA give ratings through the IDES process, but their ratings are not always the same and can sometimes be confusing to service members said Cook.

Through the DoD, service members who rate 30 percent or higher are medically retired, while those below 30 percent receive a severance package.

With the reduction in processing time for service members and the elimination of a back log, more than $149 million in cost avoidance was saved through the IDES program.

Through coordination and hard work the staff at NHCL managed to reduce wait times, eliminate extra spending and assist service members with health related issues create a seamless process for medical retiring.

More than 40 members of the 2nd Marine Division Band spent three days performing at least twice a day for fairgoers at the Topsfield, Mass., Fair recently.

TOPSFIELD, MASS.

Division’s Own serenades Topsfield Fair visitors CPL. MARCO MANCHA 2nd Marine Division

What started off as a small cattle show in the upper, colorful edges of Massachusetts is now one of the oldest fairs in the country. The Topsfield Fair, which began in 1818, drew in more than 500,000 visitors this year with hundreds of attractions ranging from small petting farms to live-music concerts.

One special attraction came in the form of the harmonious sounds, with a distinct blend of military precision, of the 2nd Marine Division Band.

“On the drums,” bellowed the drum major as he prepared

the Marine musicians to march toward the fairground arena.

The sounds of beating snare drums and bass echoed throughout the fair, attracting listeners by the dozens. Benches and seats inside the venue filled up quickly as “The Division’s Own” took their place onstage.

The all-Marine band serenaded the large audience with classical tunes ranging from John Philip Sousa’s “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” to their own rendition of “The Saints.”

“We never played at Topsfield before, and it couldn’t have gone any better,” said Sgt. Tim Hanna. “We kept pretty busy, and

the Marines didn’t get very much downtime, but it gave them exposure to a busy work schedule.

They performed superbly.”

The Marines performed a total of six shows, two shows per day, for a total of three days.

Not even the cool weather and pouring rain kept these military musicians off the stage.

Dozens of attendees filled the weathered seats and stands to hear the unique sounds of the band. Some of the faces in the crowd were taken back to reminiscent days of their time in the armed forces when the band treated them to their renditions of each military branch’s service song.

“It was great to see these guys come out here and play an entire concert for us,” said Daniel Johnson, a Marine who served in the late 1970s. “I could tell my wife was getting emotional when she saw me stand up at attention during the playing of The Marine’s Hymn. Heck, it nearly brought me to tears.”

It was apparent many service members, sprinkled throughout the audience, appreciated the recognition for their service to their country. Not a single concert went by where the Marines weren’t given a standing ovation, and long applauds came after the playing of every song.

Many of the Marines, including

Cpl. Alexander Hoffman, a trombone instrumentalist with the band, fed off the energy of the crowd, making each performance all the better.

“The crowds were really responsive and appreciative,” said Hoffman, who was on more than a dozen band trips similar to this one. “It wasn’t like past performances. We really fed off the crowd’s energy, which made us want to perform as well as possible.”

The entire 2nd Marine Division Band concluded they cannot wait to be back next year and wanted to extend an enormous thank you to every sponsor who made the trip possible.

OFF-LIMITS ESTABLISHMENTS Self-Defense 101 class demonstrates lifesaving skills The following businesses are designated by the base commander as “off-limits”

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

Marines always have each other’s backs, but there are situations where a Marine, sailor or their loved ones could be caught alone in a dangerous situation.

Faced with a flight or fight response, fleeing may not be an option.

Marine Family Team Building held a Self-Defense 101 class aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to help the local military community learn some easy techniques that could one day save their lives.

“I want to teach them something simple, five or six techniques people can use to help them escape a bad situation,” said Patrick Ashton, the owner and head instructor of a local martial arts school who taught the class.

The class evolved from a Beyond the Brief workshop detailing personal safety, including safety at home, fire safety, cyber security and self-defense. The self-defense portion became so popular it splintered into its own course.

The students practiced unarmed techniques including how to disarm chokes or wrist holds, and how to escape a perpetrator in a mounted position.

“This is a low-key environment to learn,” said Jim Asher, a readiness and deployment support trainer with MFTB.

The class brings spouses and service members together to learn how to face difficult situations. It doesn’t require any skill level to participate.

It helps prepare people for a robbery or any other type of assault they could face.

“What do you do if somebody is coming at you and won’t leave you alone?” said Ashton. “Husbands and boyfriends don’t see this, but women encounter these situations more regularly than we would like to believe.”

While many spouses learn a few Marine Corps Martial Arts Program techniques, Asher said this course is not at all like MCMAP. “Some spouses find MCMAP to be too intense, or say it doesn’t meet their needs,” said Asher.

The self-defense class teaches more than how to physically evade an attacker.

Ashton also discussed what to do when facing an attack. He discussed drawing attention to oneself and getting away as quickly as possible.

“Most predators don’t want to be discovered,” said Ashton. “They don’t want anybody yelling and screaming. They don’t want somebody scratching and clawing. It’s important for everybody to learn to defend themselves.”

The class is held several times a year

by MFTB. For more information on future classes call 451-0176.

Stay Safe this Halloween TIPS FOR PARENTS • Trick or treating isn’t what it used to be. In most cities it’s not safe to let kids walk the streets by themselves. Your best bet is to make sure that an adult is going with them. If you can’t take them yourself, see if another parent or two can.

• Help your young child pick out or make a costume that will be safe. Make sure that it’s fire proof or treated with fire retardant. If they are wearing a mask of any kind, make sure that the eye holes are large enough for good peripheral vision.

• Know what other activities a child may be attending, such as parties, school or mall functions. If they are going to be at a friends home, get the phone number and make sure that you’ve met the parents.

• Make sure you set a time that your kids should be home by. Make sure they know how important it is for them to be home on time or to call immediately if something happens and they are going to be delayed.

• Kids will be kids. Explain to kids of all ages the difference between tricks and vandalism. Throwing eggs at a house may seem funny but they need to know the other side of the coin as well, that clean up and damages can ruin Halloween for everyone. If they are caught vandalizing, make them clean up the mess they’ve made.

• Some sick people find Halloween a great night to hurt cats. Explain to your kids that animal cruelty of any kind is not acceptable. Kids may already know this on their own but stress the point that it’s not acceptable behavior. Make sure that they know that harming animals is not only morally wrong but punishable by law and will not be tolerated.

• Serve your kids a filling meal before trick or treating and they won’t be as tempted to eat any candy before they bring it home for you to check. Check your local grocery store or craft store for Halloween cook books full of tasty treats on a horror theme for both kids and adults.

• Make sure that if your child is carrying a prop, such as a scythe, butcher knife or a pitchfork, that the tips are smooth and flexible enough to not cause injury if fallen on. Make sure that costumes won’t get in the way when they are walking, which could cause them to trip.

• Teach your kids about not getting into strangers cars or talking to strangers, no matter what the person says to them. Explain to them as simply as you can that some adults are bad and want to hurt children, that they should never go into a house that they don’t know, get into a car or go anywhere with a stranger. Also, tell them what to do should this happen, to scream as loud as they can to draw attention and to run away as fast as they can to someplace safe.

• Be sure to show your children know how to cross a street properly. They should always look both ways before crossing the street and should only cross at corners or crosswalks. Make sure that if you have more than one child, they know to take the hand of the younger child when they cross a street.

Mystery Dinner Theater stumps sold out audiences AMY BINKLEY

eep calm and cruise on.

Braving the choppy seas, service members, their spouses and friends boarded S.S. Tarawa for a night of food, fun and fanny packs during the 1980s-themed Mystery Dinner Theater at Tarawa Terrace Community Center aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area Oct. 19 and 20.

“The 80s were fun and over the top,” declared Lorraine Fuller, recreational specialist at TTCC. “Everyone in this demographic of active-duty service members is at least familiar with the decade. It’s fun for people to take a step back in time.”

Neon-colored leggings, feathered bangs and side ponytails ruled the wardrobe of many of the guests as they prepared for murder, mystery and plenty of laughs.

“We wanted to dress up and have a fun night out,” said Lance Cpl. Vanessa Ralls, whose arms were covered in bracelets of all colors.

Lance Cpl. Juan DeLeon knew he was in for a good time before he even walked through the door.

“I came to the one earlier this year and really liked it,” he explained. “I’m always happy to support programs like this.”

The murder-mystery cruise is the third dinner theater production at TTCC in the past year, but it’s the first original script.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

Fiction, reality battle in action-filled thrillers Now playing at Camp Lejeune “RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION” (R) “Resident Evil: Retribution” is a science fiction thriller and the fifth installment in the wildly successful film franchise.

The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead.

Mila Jovovich (“The Fourth Kind”) reprises her role as Alice, the iconic action heroine of this franchise.

Alice is right where she was last seen at the end of “Resident Evil: Afterlife,” on the deck of the mysterious ship Arcadia, where she hoped to find more survivors of the plague.

Alice is the last and only hope of the human race, and fights alongside a resistance movement in the continuing battle against the Umbrella Corporation and the Undead.

She is aided by newfound aliens and familiar friends, and must survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion.

Alice is in the fight of her life as her former ally, Jill Valentine, played by Sienna Guillory (“The Big Bang”), and a fleet of the Umbrella Corporation’s U-22 helicopters swoop in with orders to shoot to kill.

“Resident Evil: Retribution,” the futuristic action adventure, is based on the Capcon survival horror video game series “Resident Evil.”

Now playing at Jacksonville “ARGO” (R) “Argo” is a political thriller based on real events of a high-stakes rescue mission during the Iranian hostage crisis.

The event is set during the Iranian Revolution in 1979, when militants took over the U.S. Embassy in Teheran and held 52 Americans hostage.

The dramatic story chronicles the life-or-death

covert operation to rescue six of the Americans who in the midst of the chaos managed to escape and find refuge in the Canadian ambassador’s home.

The focus of the film is on the little known roles the Central Intelligence Agency and Hollywood played; the information was not declassified until many years after the event.

Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found and killed, Ken Taylor, the Canadian Ambassador, played by Victor Garber (“You Again”), asked the Canadian and American governments to have the Central Intelligence Agency intervene.

Ben Affleck (“The Town”) stars as Tony Mendez, a specialist with the Central Intelligence Agency, who is tasked with freeing the six American government workers.

Also appearing are Kyle Chandler (“Super 8”) as Hamilton Jordan, Tate Donovan (“Shooter”) as Bob Anders, and Rory Cochrane (“Public Enemies”) as Lee Schatz.

Affleck directed this film with materials based on “The Master of Disguise”

by Antonio J. Mendez and a 2007 magazine article “The Great Escape” by Joshua Bearman. He and screenwriter Chris Terrio stick close to the facts that add to the suspense. He is a master in delivering a great

thriller and unbelievably true story.

“Argo” is a fascinating and tense account of historical events that played out like a Hollywood movie. The result is a stranger-than-fiction dramatic and intelligent political thriller that appears to be more like a farfetched spy thriller, which keeps you on the edge of your seat.

This is one of the best movies of the year and should be a big contender in the upcoming award season.

Bikers look over the route they will take during the Historical Markers Ride, an event hosted by the North Carolina Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association Oct. 6 in Jacksonville, N.C. The ride was a scavenger hunt where riders answered questions about the areas’ past.

Bikers study city’s past for today’s warriors LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Bikers decked out in leather vests with patches and insignias denoting their time in the Armed Forces mounted shining motorcycles and roared away, beginning a quest through Onslow County’s past.

The bikers were at a local motorcycle shop for the Historical Markers Ride, an annual motorcycle scavenger hunt, held

by North Carolina Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association.

The ride brought together the thrill of the hunt with the company of the local community, including many service members and veterans.

“We wanted to put together a ride different from other rides,” said H. T. Huchi, the commander of the local CVMA and a retired Marine better known as Hooch.

Events like this enhance the camaraderie felt by veterans, active-duty service members and the community while helping to support causes for service members, added Hooch.

Riders were given a questionnaire to complete throughout their journey.

With questions like, “What is the name of the town where the first steamboat was

built in N.C.?” and “What was the name Montford Point changed to in 1974?” the scavenger hunt had riders look at historical markers positioned alongside roads throughout Jacksonville.

However, participants wouldn’t win by simply searching for the information online or remembering the correct answer; CVMA representatives were present with a stamp to show the riders visited each site.

Members who brought back the questionnaire stamped with all of the correct answers were entered into a drawing for prizes.

After the small groups of riders journeyed through the area, they were met with a feast. The bikers were in hog heaven with burgers, hot dogs and other barbecue staples along with a roasted pig.

The event also held auctions and raffles for various prizes donated by local businesses.

“We ride our Harleys, we have fun and we help veterans,” said Hooch.

The revenue generated from the Historical Markers Ride is used to support work the CVMA does throughout the year, including cookouts at Wounded Warrior Battalion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Operation Devildog, in which the CVMA gives

packages to approximately 10 wounded warriors with gift certificates to local businesses and other treats.

The CVMA is made up primarily of combat veterans who enjoy the opportunity to support today’s service members.

“I know what these guys are going through,” said Hooch. “We have guys from Vietnam and Desert Storm.

(Members of) the CVMA have been around. We have the experience. When we (visit WWBn) we sit there, talk to them, and share stories.”

Pete Frede, a retired sailor and fiveyear member of the CVMA likens the group to therapy, saying veterans are

more comfortable around each other.

“When you’ve been in combat it’s a different brotherhood,” said Jim Beck, a retired soldier, and the Raleigh CVMA commander. “We’re combat vets, and we support our brothers and sisters.”

Events like this are a culmination of Hooch’s goals.

Upon retirement he decided to stay connected to Marines, and now, sporting a long beard and hair to make hippies envious, he leads the CVMA as it brings the community creative events to support MCB Camp Lejeune’s Marines.

“This is what we do, and we’re going to continue doing it until we can’t do it anymore,” said Hooch.

Corderman and two other Marines within the band took the initiative to come together and form the 2nd Marine Division rock band. (Above right) The 2nd Marine Division Color Guard prepares to step off at The Big E parade in West Springfield, Mass., recently.

ore than 40 members of the 2nd Marine Division Band set out on a trip to West Springfield, Mass., for the largest fair in the Northeast to perform for more than 1,000,000 fairgoers.

The band spent three days performing at least twice a day for several high schools in and around West Springfield and

finished each day with an appearance at The Big E parade.

The Big E is a 17-day New England extravaganza, which featured topname entertainment like comedian Jeff Dunham, country singer Billy Currington and the band.

Still, the all-Marine band showed the citizens of Connecticut and Massachusetts why they truly are the busiest band in the land.

The band performed at least eight shows in three days, and one Marine in the band took the opportunity

to debut a little-known secret he and his fellow Marines were working on for several months.

Lance Cpl. David Corderman and two other Marines within the band took the initiative to come together and form the 2nd Marine Division rock band.

“It was great for me, because this is what I have experience doing,” said Corderman, a basic musician with the band and singer for the rock band.

“I played in a rock band for 10 years before joining the Marine Corps and it’s

what I had hoped to be doing when I came to MCB Camp Lejeune. The rock band just added a new dynamic to our band, and I think the high schools really enjoyed it.”

Every high school crowd the band played for showed great enthusiasm, making each concert a success in the eyes of the Marines. Every concert they performed came with months of practice and fine tuning prior to the start of the trip.

No one noticed the hard work and dedication put out by the Marine

musicians more than Master Gunnery Sgt. Matthew Boatright.

“From a leadership perspective, the Marines were very flexible, and they executed well,” mentioned Boatright, the officer in charge for the band.

“Especially the rock band.

It was something nobody expected and something those three Marines put together on their own. You want to talk about initiative in the Marine Corps, well, it’s definitely alive and well with the corporals and lance corporals.”

The Marines walked

around the auditoriums for a few minutes after the concerts and interacted with the grateful spectators before tearing down the stage.

The band’s endless hours of practice and rehearsals paid dividends when many of the people in the audience thanked them and told them what a great job they did.

“With all the hard work and endless hours spent, it was great to see the positive reactions from the crowds, and that just made it a fun trip overall,” concluded Corderman.

Pittman and Ramone Espinoza Jr., began penning the puzzler in February.

“We’ve got several actors who look like surfers, and we went from there,” admitted Pittman. “We based the characters on the actors’ personalities. We played to everyone’s strengths, and they did great. It worked out for the best.”

The story unfolded in front of soldout crowds who watched intently to try and figure out who killed Jake Anderson, the professional surfer and cruiseline heir. Was it the captain, whose constant sipping from a flask left him a bit tipsy? Could it be Liam Pennington, the wealthy CEO looking to take over the company?

Audience members had plenty of suspects to choose from, including Jake’s lovesick assistant and the hyperactive activities coordinator, but the action wasn’t regulated to the stage. Trivia challenges and an air guitar competition had tables going head-to-head to win more clues about the identity of the killer.

“You can really play off the 80s theme,” Fuller pointed out. “This is the most participation we’ve had so far.”

Judy Lopez, who played the questionable bartender, reminisced about the decade as she sported her best Boy George costume.

“I was an 80s punk rocker,” she confessed. “I dressed like this every day.”

Even as motives came to light, guests were stumped by the ultimate whodunit.

“Everyone involved played their parts so well no one figured it out either night,” Pittman boasted. “This is the first time it’s happened.”

Despite their defeat, the appeal and popularity of the mystery dinner theater among the nearly 200 guests was undeniable.

“There aren’t a lot of adult-based activities that have this much participation from active-duty service members,” said Fuller. “By the end of the night, I think they were happy and surprised because they actually had a good time. Now they’ll spread the word. This is how it’s grown from the beginning.”

Pittman agreed, adding, “When people tell you you’ve done a good job as they’re leaving, it makes it all worth it.”

In general, this form of entertainment can cost a pretty penny, but the group credits the military installation for being able to keep the costs of the local shows low. “(Mystery dinner theater) is different,” Pittman described. “Most things on base cater to families, but there’s really nothing for couples who want to enjoy a night out. Here, they can come in, be with friends, watch a play and eat some good food.”

According to Fuller, the convenience factor can’t be ignored.

“Couples can drop their children off for a couple hours right down the road at the (Child Development Center), come have a good time, and then go home,” she said. “You can’t beat it.”

The requests for more dinner theaters are already rolling in, but the crew plans on taking a short break.

“We’re taking more time to work on the next one to make it even better,” Fuller explained. “It’s a lot of work.

We definitely have a crew of devoted volunteers who worked with us for years.

They see the impact things like this have on the community. They know they’ll have a good time. We’re lucky to have them.”

The next mystery dinner theater is scheduled for October 2013.

Teenagers who dare to explore the adventures found within the pages of books, magazines and other reading materials may seem like a rarity, but aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune the library is the place to be.

Exuding the creativity and imagination of avid readers, teens arrived in costume for the Teen Read Week event “It Came From the Library� at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard base Oct. 19. “It’s a national initiative to promote teen literacy and to spotlight teens at the library,� explained Fran Bing, youth services technician. “They’re the group (libraries) usually lose. They tend to fall through the cracks.�

Bing recognizes the lack of a teenage audience for many libraries across the nation, but she proudly boasts of the popularity the base library’s teen program continues to experience year after year. “I have found in order to have a successful teen program, you have to let them do it,� she stated. “They come up with such good ideas. If you ask them what they want instead of assuming, it’s a no-brainer.�

The teens took advantage of the season and planned a costume party with a dress code requiring them to attend as something, or someone, found at the library.

Abigail Halsey attended the event as Jacky Faber, the fictional female pirate from the popular book series.

Her feathered hat, plastic swords and painted-on tattoos were enough to win a prize in the costume contest. “She’s a diva pirate,� Halsey joked of her character. “There is nowhere else where I have this much fun. I can always count on a laugh.�

Other costumes included literary favorites like Nancy Drew and Cinderella, Agent Dana Scully from television’s “The X-Files,� and even a player from the video game “Minecraft.�

Jakeb Fowler, a devoted member of the program, dressed as Tom Sawyer after reading the book in school and remarked how the library provided a place to make friends and have a good time. “We’re a fun group with a lot to do – games, movies, and sometimes we just hang out,� he said. “It’s great.�

Ghosts of Lejeune continue to haunt AMY BINKLEY

Assistant managing editor

F

ear comes in many forms – a bump in the night, a chill up your spine or a glimpse of a shadow.

If the unexplainable is proof of the supernatural, residents of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Onslow County have a few stories to tell.

“Everyone thinks we’re haunted,” said Deb Fisher, director of the USO of North Carolina Jacksonville Center. “Even professionals ghost hunters found hotspots.”

The USO transformed into the scariest haunted house in the area Oct. 18 through 20 for the second year in a row as part of the Haunted Downtown Jacksonville event.

Manned by eager volunteers, the frightening site was not for the faint of heart, even if it was for a good cause with proceeds benefiting the local USO and Sturgeon City.

Actors prepared to scare with disturbing costumes and make up, and set up bloody scenes catering to their guests’ most common fears, including clowns, the ghost of Bloody Mary and a voodoo room.

More than 800 brave men and women worked their way through the terrifying rooms before running to the safety of their homes throughout the weekend.

Sometimes, however, home is the most horrifying place to be.

Legends of service members walking the streets of Lejeune Boulevard and strange happenings in housing areas continue to haunt each new generation of Marines who find themselves aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

Scores of people took to the official base Facebook page this week to share their chronicles of unusual occurrences while assigned to Camp Lejeune. Their tales of terror leave room for questions, but the constant repetition of similar stories point to solid evidence something strange is happening.

My 3-year-old at the time asked for an apple knowing we never apples in the house and blamed it on the man in our house. We also had stuff fall off the counter by itself.

Once, when my husband was deployed, my daughter and I went to a friend’s house, but I mopped my floor on the way out the door. When we returned there were boot marks across my floor and a child’s foot prints clear as day on my counter. I freaked out.

Angel Proctor

My husband was coming home from works two nights ago, and he pulled out of the Exxon by Dawson Cabin Road going south on Highway 17. He was in the right-hand lane and a guy in a Chevy truck pulling a boat started to pass him when all of a sudden from out of nowhere in the middle of them was what looked to be a man.

The Chevy swerved to his left just a little, but the boat made it impossible to move out of the way completely. My husband drives a big F-350 and was also unable to swerve. Surprisingly enough, neither vehicle hit him. They pulled off to check the man and the trucks. They looked back, but no one was there. There wasn’t a scratch on either vehicle. My husband was kind of shaky at the fact he almost hit someone, but was more surprised no one was there. He figured if they almost hit someone, he would be yelling or something. Neither him nor the guys in the other vehicle saw or heard anything. Creepy.

Sarah Dennis

When I was standing duty in FC 203, where Company G, 2nd Battalion 6th Marines lived, I kept hearing the bathroom door open and close. I was bored and went to go check it out. I thought I would kill some time talking to whoever was there. No one ever came out and after about 15 minutes I went in to see if it was a drunk Marine. There was no one in there and then the toilets started to flush. I was scared out of my mind. I ran out.

I decided to go back in to see if anyone was messing with me. No one was there.
