Marines with 2nd Combat Engineering Battalion, 2nd Marine Division brace in line behind a blast blanket while a charge is set off at Engineering Training Area 3 Jan. 10. The blanket serves as a shield between flying debris and Marines who were standing just feet away from detonating explosives on a door.

A

line of eight Marines sprint towards a house with closed doors and windows. One carries explosives and the others carry various tools used to gain entrance into a building.

One holds the blast blanket, a flexible shield used by Marines to protect them from the initial blast and flying debris, others provide security and two Marines plant the explosives on the door. After an instructor checks the placement and safety of everyone, he hands over control to the lead man in the group yelling out, “Breacher, you have control.”

Immediately, a Marine replies, “Roger, I have control. Stand by, five, four, three, two, one.” With an ear-shattering roar, the door and windows erupted into a shower of debris and dirt, which rained down onto the Marines waiting to rush the building.

Jan. 10 was the day Marines waited for. After three days of classes and one day of rehearsals, junior Marines were able to get hands-on training with live explosives at Engineer Training Area 3. The engineers work diligently in preparation to support infantry units for future deployments.

“The combat engineers could be doing this in country, and I felt it was important for them to get the training,” said Sgt. Richard Hill, an acting platoon sergeant

VMM-266 Marines receive Air Medal with V CPL. MICHAEL LOCKETT

26th Marine Expeditionary Unit

Marines of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266 (Reinforced) received the Air Medal with combat distinguishing device recently for their actions in rescuing a downed Air Force pilot during Operation Odyssey Dawn March 22, 2011. Capt. Erik Kolle, pilot of the MV-22B Osprey who flew the mission, and Staff Sgt. David Potter and Sgt. Daniel Howington, crew chiefs aboard the aircraft, were awarded the medal in a ceremony outside the squadron’s hanger.

The squadron, reinforcing the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, was supporting Operation Odyssey Dawn, the armed suppression of the Libyan government’s air defenses and ground forces during March 2011. The elements of the MEU operating in the Mediterranean were embarked aboard USS Kearsarge, a Navy amphibious assault ship. AV-8B Harrier strike fighters from the squadron undertook armed strikes against ground targets, helping to take the heat off of the Libyan rebel movement that eventually seized control of the country after the death SEE MEDAL 7A

“The training went well. These guys put in a lot of class time and rehearsal time. They learned the materials and were able to put their knowledge to work.”

Marines started with the basics - manufactured explosives - and then they moved on to expedient explosives and urban breaching.

The main focus for Marines after getting down all the basics was learning how to use what’s around them for explosive charges, said Cpl. Rollie Lemons, a sapper instructor with 2nd CEB. “These Marines get out what they put in,” said Lemons “We’re here to teach and provide safety SEE EXPLOSIVES 7A

Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Africa deploys LANCE CPL. CALEB MCDONALD 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit

Marines and sailors with SpecialPurpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Africa deployed from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune recently.

Scheduled for a six-month deployment, approximately 150 Marines and sailors are tasked with conducting theater security cooperation and limited crisis response missions in support of U.S. Africa Command.

Composed of reserve Marines and sailors from 2nd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment out of Garden City, N.Y., and other units from across the country, Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa assembled and began predeployment training aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune August 2012 under the command of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit.

During the four-month training period, the Marines and sailors conducted realistic training, such as specialized training in foreign weapons with Tier 1 Group, advanced driving techniques and military operations in urban terrain.

Special Operations Training Group

trained and evaluated Special-Purpose MAGTF on predeployment requirements such as noncombatant evacuation operations, humanitarian assistance, non-lethal weapons training, and a variety of air and ground exercises aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

In conjunction with SOTG, the MEU provided training, oversight and guidance during Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa’s predeployment training.

“Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa hit the ground running from the moment they were mobilized,” said Capt. Kyle Lynch, 22nd MEU assistant operations officer. “The training culminated with a large scale mission rehearsal exercise testing the Marines on each of their mission essential tasks.”

The Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa and 22nd MEU staff sections coordinated to execute a comprehensive training program to ensure the Marines and sailors were prepared to tackle the challenges they will face when deployed.

“As a MEU, we were here to assist as their higher headquarters,” said Maj. Scott Clippinger, logistics officer for the SEE DEPLOYS 7A

New process for confirming veterans’ eligibility verification to be implemented The Department of Veteran Affairs stated they are cutting the red tape for Veterans by eliminating the need for them to complete an annual Eligibility Verification Report. VA will implement a new process for confirming eligibility for benefits, and staff previously responsible for processing the old form will instead focus on eliminating the compensation claims backlog. Historically, beneficiaries were required to complete an EVR each year to ensure their pension

benefits continued. Under the new initiative, the VA will work with the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration to verify continued eligibility for pension benefits. The VA estimates it would save nearly 150,000 EVRs in January 2013. Eliminating these annual reports reduces the burden on veterans, their families and survivors because they will not have to complete and return these routine reports to the VA each year in order to avoid suspension of benefits. It

allows the VA to redirect more than 100 employees who usually process EVRs to work on the 987,000 claims backlog. All beneficiaries currently receiving VA pension benefits will receive a letter from the VA explaining these changes and providing instructions on how to submit their unreimbursed medical expenses.

For further information call the VA at 1-800-827-1000 or the Onslow County Veteran Representative at 910-347-3309.

Camp Johnson Library starts book club There is a joy lurking inside the pages of an un-opened book. For some it is adventure, others romance, for many it can be an escape from reality. Whatever the motivation, reading stimulates the mind, and harnesses imagination and creativity.

The Camp Johnson Library started a book club Jan. 15. This group is excited to share and explore the wonderful world of literature. Answering questions on the new program is Crystal Dean, one of the outstanding library technicians within the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Library system.

RR - To start, could you please tell us the hours of operation for the Camp Johnson Library and its location?

CD - The Camp Johnson Library is located in building M607 on Harlem Drive aboard Camp Johnson. We are open every day of the week from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

RR - What is the target group for this reading club? Is it going to have a consistent content theme, or will the topics vary from book to book?

CD - It started with the goal of engaging young Marines and sailors because they are the primary patrons of the Camp Johnson Library. Our hope is to draw a diverse group of people who enjoy reading and participating in a lively, intelligent discussion.

We want the book club members to discover new authors and their offerings by reading a variety of titles and

genres. Titles will range from best sellers to classics. A monthly rotation will vary between fiction and non-fiction titles. The titles chosen will reflect the interest of our patrons. In the future, input from the group members will help to determine upcoming book choices.

RR - If someone missed the first Camp Johnson Book Club session would they still be able to join the group?

CD – Absolutely, the more the merrier. Patrons at the Camp Johnson Library primarily consist of students. The participants will change from month to month. The two requirements for attending a book club meeting are to have the chosen title and sign up to attend, by calling 450-0844.

RR - Is Camp Johnson the only library in the Camp Lejeune system hosting book clubs?

CD - The MCB Camp Lejeune Library hosts a few different book clubs for all ages. They have the adult Page Turners’ book club held on the second Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. There is the Bookworms Junior reading club for ages 6 through 11, on the first Thursday of the month at 6 p.m. The Bookworms Senior club for more advanced readers ages 6 through 11 held the fourth Thursday of the month at 6:00 p.m., and finally the Teen Reads club for ages 12 through 18 held the second Tuesday of the month.

Coming soon to a car dealer near you: Flood damaged vehicles with clean titles

In late October of last year, Hurricane Sandy struck the northeast U.S., killing over 100 people and causing nearly $30 billion in damage to New Jersey alone. The rain and storm surge also flooded more than 230,000 vehicles, many of which are, or soon will be, sold by car dealers around the country. As with prior storms, most notably Hurricane Katrina, we can expect many of those vehicles, irreparably damaged by sand, muck and salt water, will appear at car dealers, some with falsely pristine car title histories.

State and federal laws mandate the reporting of flood or significant damage to motor vehicles by insurance carriers, junk yards and others. This information is supposed to show on the car-title history and, in some cases, on the car title itself, warning consumers of lurking dangers. In the aftermath of major storms, it is important for used cars buyers to obtain a car title history through such private organizations as CarFax, or obtain a free car history through the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System or VINCheck of the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

These tools can help, but it is equally important to recognize none of these services, government or private, can guarantee a complete and accurate car history. These systems rely on fallible people reporting information.

Unscrupulous businessmen may have financial incentives not to follow the rules, and damage may be reported under the wrong vehicle identification number through simple human error. There may be a time lag between the reporting of the information and its appearance on a vehicle history. Furthermore, dealers have become adept at re-titling vehicles in different states, known as “washing titles,” sometimes several times to evade damage reporting requirements, a problem that surfaces after every major storm.

Even if all the rules are followed, the car history may still fail to disclose flood or other damage. Rules concerning reporting requirements have chronological date gaps in coverage. The rules also vary from state to state, including the dollar threshold for reporting damage, with some states allowing very significant damage to go unreported. Car title histories are a useful tool, especially if they disclose damage, but take those clean car histories with a grain of salt.

It’s always important for used-car buyers to conduct an inspection, even more so after a hurricane.

Vehicles damaged by flood may look fine on the outside and may even run reasonably well now, but seri-

ous electrical system problems may develop down the road from salt water corrosion. Sand in the engine or transmission can cause additional long-term problems.

Inspection of the vehicle by your chosen mechanic can help detect flood damage and so can a thorough inspection by you.

Some of the things to watch out for: -Strong musty odors caused by dampness, especially of the carpets or, alternatively, strong disinfectants or perfumes used to mask the odor.

-Water, sand, salt or mud in difficult to clean spaces in the car, such as the trunk, wheel wells, or spare tire well.

-Old cars with brand new upholstery.

-Sand, grit or rust under the hood.

- A car title history with several recent transfers.

North Carolina dealers who have knowledge a vehicle is a flood or salvage vehicle are required to notify purchases of the fact in writing prior to sale. Additionally, any North Carolina dealer who knows a vehicle five years old or less was involved in a “collision of other occurrence” to the extent repairing it cost 25 percent or more of its fair market value must disclose the fact in writing to the consumer (NC Gen Stat 20-71.4). Flood vehicles are defined as any vehicle fully or partially submerged such that damage to the body, transmission, engine or differential occurred. A salvage vehicle is one damaged by collision or other occurrence to the extent that the cost of repairs to the vehicle and rendering it safe for use would exceed 75 percent of its fair market value [NC Gen Stat 20-4.01(33)].

If you think you purchased a flood-damaged vehicle, you can request a Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange car title report free from your insurer or obtain a car history. If you believe the dealer misrepresented the vehicle’s flood or salvage status, or if you were sold a flood or salvage vehicle without a required branded title, you can contact the dealer to resolve the problem, contact the consumer protection division of the North Carolina Attorney General at 1-877-NOSCAM and 919-716-6000, or file an on line complaint.

You can also complain to the NC Department of Motor Vehicles License and Theft Bureau, which investigates title fraud. Information at: http://www.ncdot.gov/ dmv/licensetheft/ You can also file an on line complaint with the FTC Consumer Sentinel and are encouraged to discuss the matter with a military legal assistance attorney.

Marines with Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group pose in front of the Headquarters Company office aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Jan. 15. They gathered in honor of retired Brig. Gen. Margaret A. Brewer, the first female general officer in the Marine Corps, who recently passed away.

Brig. Gen. Brewer remembered 2ND LT. TATIANA ZAPPARDINO 2nd Marine Logistics Group

At one point during the Marine Corps’ lifespan, women served in less than a handful of military occupational specialties. Rather than allowing the restraints of inequality to take part in her life, one woman proved otherwise the strength and magnitude of females in the Marine Corps.

The first female general officer in the Marine Corps, retired Brig. Gen. Margaret A. Brewer, passed away Jan. 2 at the age of 82.

With an extraordinary career ranging from platoon commander at Officer Candidate School to the first director of

public affairs, Brewer carved a path of opportunities for females in the Marine Corps.

The 2nd Marine Logistics Group has a total manpower of more than 7,000 Marines, with more than 800 being women.

Without Brewer, they may never have had the opportunity.

First Sgt. Brenda Chrismer, first sergeant of Headquarters Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd MLG, served more than 20 years in the Marine Corps. She is a master at her craft and is devoted to developing her Marines.

“She just kept breaking the glass ceiling and showing who she was,” said Chrismer regarding Brewer. “Then allowed others to see what she could bring

to the table, and provide to the Corps and to our country.”

Because of female leaders like Brewer, the Marine Corps accepted both in the workplace; Chrismer only sees Marines and expects the same amount of effort no matter the sex, she said.

For Master Sgt. Marla Edwards, inspector chief for the 2nd MLG, serving more than 23 years is another primary example of the thriving female leadership in the Marine Corps. Edwards remembers her introduction to the Marine Corps, and how new female Marines’ experiences differ today.

She commented when Brewer came into the Corps, she learned how to get out of a car, not how to shoot a rifle and

when Edwards was in boot camp she learned how to wear make-up.

“I am harder on females normally, because I know what it took for us to get here,” she said.

Due to leaders like Brewer, Chrismer and Edwards, women in the Marine Corps have a clearer path toward progressing through the ranks. These women continue to lead the way for Marines to better themselves and accomplish the mission.

Female Marines today are able to compete alongside men while being held to the same standard. Just like everything else encompassed in Marine Corps traditions, women will never forget where they came from and who did it first.

ounter-narcotics work continues in support of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’s policy on poppy eradication. In the last year coalition forces from Regional Command Southwest, often in partnership with Afghan forces, seized a total of 79,786 kg of drugs valued at $46,203,853.47.

The largest amount of opium seized in one month, which was September; was 14,421 kilograms while the largest poppy seed seizure was 1,815 kilograms in June. To put these figures for the year into perspective, the total value of drugs seized in Helmand would equate to either 92,407 AK-47s, 80,354 RPGs or 462,038 pressure plate IEDs.

II MEF continues dragnet on drug use CAPT. BINFORD STRICKLAND II Marine Expeditionary Force

Major Gen. Ray Fox, commanding general II Marine Expeditionary Force, remains determined to counter the drug threat against II MEF Marines and sailors.

In mid-December 2012, the first phase of the II MEF Counter Drug Campaign was completed after a 100 percent MEFwide urinalysis Nov. 30, yielded more than 37,000 samples.

Fox enacted this campaign to reinforce the Marine Corps substance abuse program, and to preserve the force and its readiness in support of Commandant of the Marine Corps General James F. Amos’ intent of “getting the Corps back on a heading of True North.”

“The campaign is our commitment to the American people to preserve the most valuable treasure they entrusted us ... their sons and daughters,” said Fox, a 36-year Marine.

The counterdrug campaign reflects the service’s zero-tolerance policy and is meant to have traumatic effects on the drug threat across the MEF. Marines and sailors who submit samples testing positive for illegal or controlled substances may face disciplinary action.

Fox said these individuals may be prosecuted and will be processed for administrative separation, according to the Marine Corps Separation and Retirement Manual, Marine Corps Order P1900.61F. “I want to be clear about our ever-present responsibilities as leaders to uphold the enduring tenets of the constitution and

the military justice system,” Fox said.

Each case will be individually and thoroughly investigated, carefully assessed and fully processed, which includes the presumption of innocence and the right to due process.

During the administrative separation process, a board composed of officers and senior enlisted Marines will determine whether the Marine or sailor committed misconduct, such as the illegal use or possession of a controlled substance.

If misconduct is substantiated, the service member may receive an other - than - honorable discharge.

In addition to the lifelong stigma and difficulties associated with such a discharge, the Marine or sailor will likely lose most benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, to include the G.I. Bill, according to II MEF Operational Law Officer Capt. Ronald W. Chapman II. “The Marine or sailor may also be criminally charged, and face a special or general court-martial, in which case a panel of members or a military judge may sentence someone convicted of use, possession, manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance to up to five years imprisonment along with a dishonorable discharge or bad conduct discharge for each specified offense,” Chapman explained.

Results of this urinalysis and future drug screenings will be published in subsequent articles.

Marines and sailors are asked to join in this fight and report drug activity to our recently created Counter Drug Task Force at 450-9942.

Openly gay Marine serves in combat zone STAFF SGT. ROBERT M. STORM

Marine Special Operations Command

“I hear jokes all the time from Marines all around me who don’t realize I’m gay.

Most aren’t done in a way that offends me, but I correct Marines who use the word ‘fag.’ I do find the word offensive,” said Lance Cpl. Michael S. Mejia, an administration specialist with Regimental Combat Team 6.

Mejia is gay. He doesn’t tell everyone he meets, but since the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell he doesn’t deny it either.

“I’m a Marine, pure and simple, other people don’t say I’m a black Marine or a female Marine, so I don’t need to let everyone know I’m a gay Marine,” Mejia said. “I don’t deny it, and it doesn’t define my abilities.”

Like most other Marines, Mejia joined because he wanted a challenge in life and to do something different. He doesn’t yet know if he wants to stay in or not, but he does want to do a tour on embassy duty in Europe or Russia.

“I didn’t want to sit behind a desk the rest of my life, everyone laughs at it because I’m admin and it’s what we do, but I knew I’d be doing other things in the Marines,” Mejia said. “Plus, I’m good with computers and working in admin comes naturally to me.”

Marines who work with Mejia know being gay doesn’t effect his abilities. He comes to work and gets the job done just like every other Marine.

“Lance Cpl. Mejia is the type of Marine every administrative office seeks out – a detail-oriented administrator who expertly performs numerous functions and

ensures the daily success of the command element,” said Capt. Matthew Halton, the adjutant for RCT-6. “He is constantly developing and refining ways to improve the workflow of the office.

Always motivated, his presence and can-do attitude are instrumental to the success of the (administration) shop.”

Mejia claims to know he was gay since he was 13. He confesses when other kids were gawking at women he was totally disinterested. After a while, his dad suspected and began to ask questions.

He said he lied to his family and began dating girls in order to keep them happy.

They didn’t find out until he was 21 and a bill for a car came in the mail for him.

“It was an awkward situation,” Mejia laughed. “Just like any other guy, I did something stupid for someone I liked, namely co-signed for a car. When he quit paying, the bills came to me. My dad knew this wasn’t something (I) just did for a friend, and the truth came out. He told me I was his son and he still loved me, but it was still a shock.”

Mejia admits being gay is sometimes tough with society’s stereotypes and preconceptions. But he does believe people are making progress.

“Slowly but surely I am testing people in the Marine Corps. I never got a bad reaction, so it gives me hope,” Mejia said. “Most people are ‘live and let live,’ it’s my choice.”

It is not to say being gay doesn’t come with problems.

According to Mejia, one of the biggest preconceptions is gay people sleep with anyone and everyone.

“It’s hard, boys are socially engineered at an early age to get a girlfriend, have a monogamous relationship and have a family,” Mejia said.

“However, if you’re gay, you

are engineered to hide your orientation and lie to people.

Is it any wonder some gays have relationship problems?

I believe in gay marriage, but I’m not sure my people are ready. Social training makes it hard and until it changes, anti-gay groups will just use it as ammunition to support their ideas.”

Perhaps because of the trials he’s endured in his life, Mejia finds being deployed to a combat zone is not all that stressful. Every day is just like the other. The routine lets him focus, and better himself at his job and as a Marine.

“His lifestyle never affected him as a Marine, he’s professional and he isn’t afraid to shoot his rifle if it comes to a fight,” Staff Sgt. Frederick Mayes said, the administration chief for the RCT. “He has a no-quit attitude in whatever he does.

Sometimes I have to force him to leave work because he’ll stay as late as he needs to get the job done. No matter what his lifestyle, he deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.”

Despite the growing acceptance of Mejia’s lifestyle, he does admit to the occasional “interesting moments,” mostly when Marines make crude comments toward one another.

“Marines laugh and call each other gay or whatever all the time. It’s just funny when they say it toward me and they don’t know the truth. Usually my fellow Marines who do know have a hard time not laughing,” Mejia said. “Most of the awkward moments are due to the way Marines speak – f-this, f-that – I didn’t cuss before joining the Marine Corps, I had to learn so I wouldn’t stand out, it still feels weird to me.”

A Marine motivates other Marines of Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group during a formation run aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Jan. 11. During formation runs, Marines run side by side and yell cadences as loud as they can.

Combat Logistics Regiment 27 takes to streets SGT. RACHAEL MOORE

2nd Marine Logistics Group

Marines and sailors with Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group followed their new commanding officer through the streets of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Jan. 11.

Col. Gary F. Keim, the commanding officer of CLR-27, started the day with a 40-minute run in “boots and utes,” which is a variation of the uniform used for physical training and worn during the Combat Fitness Test. It consists of utility trousers, boots and a green shirt.

When the regiment returned from the run to Soifert Field, a large field used for PT aboard the base, they found three large tires and three stretchers at separate ends of a coned-off section on the field.

Each company and battalion chose three males and three females to participate in a series of short, but challenging exercises.

“It provides me with the opportunity to put physical examples who are very fit and winners, in front of the rest of the regiment” said Keim. “It really does pay to be a winner, and to be the best or strive to be the best at something.”

At the sound of the colonel’s yell, the Marines rushed to move their tires approximately 100 yards. They were not allowed to roll the tires, only flip them.

Once they got to the other end, one team-

mate mounted a stretcher while the other two picked it up and scurried down the field to the finish line.

Headquarters Company’s male team and Service Company’s female team won the events and will receive a day off from work, as promised by the commanding officer.

“The regiment is a better regiment than what I left in 2011,” said Keim. “We got a little bit better everywhere.”

CLR-27 consists of five combat logistics battalions, which offer maintenance, supply and motor transportation teams. In addition, it has multiple companies including Headquarters, Service, Communications and Food Services. All of those pieces fit together to allow the regiment to logistically support Marine expeditionary brigades and Marine expeditionary units on the East Coast.

“CLR-27 provides direct support from afloat, and we’re the only regiment east of the Mississippi (River) that does it,” said Keim.

At the end of the PT session, Keim brought the service members together to talk about their mission and added a secondary portion.

“What is the underlying common denominator? What do we do all the time?”

Keim asked. “We take care of each other and our families. (Operations) first, and our Marines and each other all the time.”

ITB fires M72 LAW LANCE CPL. JOSHUA W. GRANT

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The terrain of present combat operations renders the trench warfare of past battles ineffective and obsolete. Sending service members house to house in the current urban combat environment is the effective tactic, but can be equally dangerous. The Marine Corps employs many measures to counter these dangers and the students of Infantry Training Battalion recently received instruction on one such tactic.

The M72 Light Anti-Tank Weapon, A7 variant, fires a 66mm armor-penetrating rocket, but for training purposes and to keep costs down, a reloadable 21mm subcaliber round was used.

Fighting a non-uniformed guerilla force means anti-air and anti-armor weapons are sometimes ineffective, but when forces barricade behind mud walls easy entry is usually guaranteed with the M72.

Students with ITB, School of Infantry – East learned the parts and employment of the M72 LAW in depth. The students first received classroom instruction and later moved on to practical application by firing

two training rounds down range.

The training on the M72 benefits the students because, unlike the 9mm tracertraining round shot from the AT4, the LAW fires a rocket mimicking a real rocket, said Staff Sgt. Michael Porter, Chief Instructor with the company.

“The sub-caliber round we use imitates the round better,” said Porter. “It has a back blast and is 80 percent the volume of the real rocket.”

The training given to the students is not designed to make them anti-tank missilemen but rather basically trained infantrymen who are competent with the M72 LAW, said Staff Sgt. Scott Bare, weapons and munitions package leader for ITB. “After the students receive classroom training and go through performance exams on the range, they take written tests,” said Bare. “We try to ensure they have a complete understanding of the weapon system.”

The training received from the M72 LAW is worth it because every student can obtain valuable knowledge about a very lethal and capable weapon in the Marine Corps’ arsenal.

MEDAL FROM 1A of Muammar Gaddafi. The MEU, specifically VMM-266 and a company from 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines was acting as a quick reaction force for coalition forces in the event of a downed aircraft.

This role came to the forefront when an Air Force F-15E strike fighter was downed in the vicinity of Benghazi, a hotspot of the conflict. The pilot and weapons officer both ejected without issue at high altitude, but became separated from each other in the ensuing landing. The weapons officer found refuge with rebel forces, and was returned unharmed. The pilot landed in hostile territory, evading pursuit as the MEU scrambled a recovery team.

Two MV-22Bs and two CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters launched a mission, carrying Marines from 1st Bn., 2nd Marines and the 26th MEU’s reconnaissance platoon.

Kolle’s aircraft was the one to touch down, recovering the pilot within 90 seconds and immediately taking off again, returning the pilot to USS Kearsarge.

The Marines said the squadron as a whole deserved the recognition. Kolle stated it could have been any pilot in the squadron flying the mission; his presence there was simply a nature of their rotation.

VMM-266 will reiterate its role as the aviation combat element for the 26th MEU in their upcoming deployment. Slated to deploy in early 2013, the squadron will fly the world once more with the skill and effectiveness in mission accomplishment it has come to be known for.

DEPLOYS FROM 1A 22nd MEU. “I think overall from the logistics stand point, we were impressed Special-Purpose MAGTF was able to bring everyone together here so quickly to begin training as a team.”

Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa demonstrated the ability of reserve Marines to mobilize quickly and deploy, which provides them an opportunity to support operations overseas.

Sgt. Timothy McCoy, a combat engineer with Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa, said the training was fulfilling and looks forward to the next six months.

“I had a great training experience here working with the 22nd MEU,” said McCoy. “I am excited to get downrange and employ all of the training we received through the Special Operations Training Group and the others we trained with.”

With their predeployment training behind them, Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa is prepared to plan and conduct training with African partner nations.

“This MAGTF is the most prepared to go out the door because of the help the 22nd MEU and the other supporting units who trained them during the (predeployment) process,” said Lt. Col. Daniel Whisnant, commanding officer of Special-Purpose MAGTF Africa. “The talent we have in our Marines is off the charts. All we needed was a place in which to train them as a team. They are now ready to take on any mission Marine Forces Africa has for us.”

Mary Lee comes to town

Great white shark passes Crystal Coast With sightings of Mary Lee as far south as Miami and as far north as Cape Cod she became an instant east coast celebrity.

Dr. Bogus

Welcome back to winter. Last week anglers were rejoicing over the sudden warmth spreading through the North Carolina coast, this week they are lamenting the return of frigid temperatures and blustery wind.

Last week, I commented on the likelihood of our spring weather lasting, and true to North Carolina form, winter returned.

This time of year the air and water temperatures vary from day to day. Recently, we saw upward swings of surf temperatures, and while temperatures varied as much as five to six degrees, it was only a matter of days before we sank back down to chilly waters and choppy seas.

Such is winter on the Crystal Coast.

While the weather was not dependable last week inshore fishing remained fairly constant. The best bite as of late is the red and black drum. Schools of redfish made their way to Bogue Sound through the Intracoastal Waterway marshes around Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune recently. The trick to catching black

and red drum is to work the marshes until you see the telltale V shape. Once you see the V, try casting Gulp! bait on light-weight jigs.

A low, slow rig should do the trick.

In many locations anglers should find black drum using shrimp. These fish will be around all winter, so there is no rush for local anglers to grab them while they last. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.

Another great spot to catch red and black drum is the Cape Lookout Rock Jetty, where both were hot last week and continue to populate the shallow jetty waters as we speak.

A few weeks ago I gave a preparatory less on the winter treat, the tautog fish. There continues to be an excellent bite of tautog at the Morehead City Port Wall. Grab a few clams or crabs and give it your best shot. The tautog pull hard, but if you can reel one in you will experience one of the Crystal Coast’s tastiest winter treats.

If you are after stripers, think of heading north toward the Virginia coastline. If you want to look locally, take a day trip to New Bern. The Neuse River is home to a few weary stripers

who made their way into North Carolina.

The Neuse River also produced some speckled trout last week. In creeks like Slocum and Hancock near Cherry Point, the speckled trout bite held steady last week.

I also received reports of speckled trout near Bogue Sound and Creek and Broad Creek, as well as the White Oak bridge.

Several anglers also reported monster gator trout in the New River area. For anglers still seeking speckled trout, I recommend trying to hook them with MirrOlures cast and reeled slowly. If it doesn’t work for you, try Gulp! bait and pink shrimp. Again, the key is to work your bait and line very slowly, giving the fish time to latch on.

When it comes to offshore fishing, it is hard to say what is happening.

With the sudden drop of temperatures, wintry winds prevented many boats from going far offshore last week. There is a lot of water to cover for the few boats that made it past the shoreline, and while there were several nice days to enjoy, any recent reports of bluefin tuna were few and far between.

One thing I would like to note is the appearance of the Carolina’s great white shark, Mary Lee.

My Apologies:

Mary Lee was seen all summer and autumn, cruising along the coast of North and South Carolina. Last week, she passed the Crystal Coast and Cape Lookout. Who knows where she will go next? She is probably hunting the bluefin tuna bite. For those who do not know Mary Lee or have heard nothing about her, she is a tagged great white shark who is making her way along the east coast. Since July she was located off the coast of every state in the Southeast. With sightings of Mary Lee as far south as Miami and as far north as Cape Cod, she became an instant east coast celebrity.

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.

To contact the North Carolina Department of Marine Fisheries call 800-682-2632 or the Wildlife Resources Commission at 800-662-7137 to report any suspicious or illegal activity on local waterways.

Lance Armstrong

closely watched by officials, Armstrong and the entire American cycling team were able to pull off the doping heist of the century. Organized, efficient and effective, they were comfortable enough they wouldn’t get caught they would stop in the middle of competing to gain an illegal edge of opponents.

This was not an isolated incident involving one man. This doping scheme involved an entire task force of men and women. It involved private jets, a multitude of hotel rooms, hidden motives and encouragement from team members, staff members, trainers and peers.

Like many others I looked at Armstrong as a symbol of courage and commitment to his sport.

I used to support and promote his role in cycling because I believed in the supreme effort he took to beat everything in his life, from cancer to cycling. I admired his ruthless desire to win.

No more.

Winning clearly isn’t always as much fun as it sounds. Winning a battle over a disease that threatens your life? That’s fun. Winning a battle nobody thought you

would be able to fight? Good job.

Winning by pulling off an illegal doping scheme to ensure you were at the top of your game? It only makes me think you were never worth my time in the first place.

To the countless number of people who held Lance Armstrong in as high esteem as I did, I am sorry. For every athlete who struggled with cancer, chronic illness or traumatic events, and found the strength to fight back in a fair manner, I am sorry. I am sorry your leader and role model was not the man you thought he was. I am sorry he is not who I thought he was.

To those who supported the other athletes on the American cycling team who are caught in the doping scandal, I am sorry your role models are not the people you expected them to be. It’s not a pretty picture to see your heroes acting in such an unbecoming manner.

Finally to those who stood by athletes who fought tooth and nail to race every Tour De France, only to come in behind Armstrong and the rest of the American team, I SEE ARMSTRONG 7B

What I learned from Armstrong’s doping

This ruthless desire to win serves me well on the bike, served me well during the disease. But the level it went to is a flaw.

He did it.

Lance Armstrong finally admitted to the doping scheme he was accused of for the past few months.

Stripped of his Tour De France medals and his Olympic medal, I guess now was as good a time as ever. After all, Armstrong had nothing left to lose.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Armstrong held nothing at bay and answered questions openly and candidly. It was a strange sight to see Armstrong, normally very composed, fidget in his seat when asked questions he was clearly uncomfortable with, but unlike in the past he did not shirk away from answering the hard questions. Instead, he thrived on them.

Sitting at my desk listening to him talk about his battle with illegal steroid and drug use to win his cycling races I found myself torn between thinking he was a scoundrel who deserved to have everything stripped from his name, and wondering how much strength it took him to finally come clean.

Outdoor Adventures strives to add education to exploration in 2013 JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

In preparation for 2013, the Outdoor Adventures’ staff aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune hit the road recently. The staff members attended the Sierra Club Outing Leadership Workshop in Ft. Caswell, N.C., in November 2012 for a weekend– long training class. The training session involved a variety of outdoor enthusiasts, group leaders and conservationists seeking ways to grow in their understanding and leadership of outdoor trips.

“We gained a lot of information on groups and ways to plan,” said Marybeth LeMaire, Outdoor Adventures’ recreation specialist. “We talked about interpersonal skills, ways to plan, how to choose good names for events, and a lot of other stuff – everything from hiking to mountain climbing.”

LeMaire, with recreation assistants Chadwick Wells, Gabby Higgins and Amanda Littlejohn, seized the opportunity to grow, and used the conference to help them plan effective ways to provide for patrons aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

The Sierra Club promotes responsible use of the Earth’s resources, and education and enjoyment of the environment. The program provides 10 percent discount to military families, and partners with Outward Bound to give military families and veterans the chance to explore the world around them at a reasonable cost.

“They are a nonprofit organization, and have a really good program,” explained LeMaire. “A lot of what (Sierra Club) does is very reasonably priced.”

After attending the Sierra Club Leadership Workshop, the Outdoor Adventures team returned to MCB Camp Lejeune eager to put what they learned into action. In 2013 they plan to draw from their experiences in 2012, as well as what they learned at the conference to add an educational component to their activities. They will also stick strictly to outdoor recreation, and plan to stay as local as possible.

In keeping with their drive to add education to their outdoor experiences, the team is more aware of their surroundings. With the help of an acquaintance, they plan to learn more about the birds, trees and wildlife native to coastal North Carolina.

“We can do a lot of low–impact hiking around here,” LeMaire explained. “Amanda has a friend who works at Bald Head Island and is willing to come educate us a little more on what is around us. We’ll pass it on.”

By staying local for the majority of their trips, MCCS’s Outdoor Adventures’ outings will be more cost–effective and help families learn to enjoy their local surroundings, instead of sending them away from the coast.

The Outdoor Adventures’ staff is planning a spring kickoff event, complete with kayaking demonstrations, rock wall activities, a s’mores bar and fishing demonstrations.

LeMaire challenged each member of her team to create a new target program using the information they gained at the

Sierra Club workshop. As a result, patrons aboard MCB Camp Lejeune can look forward to new kid-friendly and familyoriented programs in the new year.

“I gave them the opportunity to come up with a new program, and they’re working on it.

Amanda wants to do an eco–camp experience for young kids,” said LeMaire.

“Right now, we are in crunch–mode,” LeMaire added. “We are doing a lot of programming and coming up with some really good ones, while trying to keep everything reasonable. We’re going to provide some family canoeing trips, introduce the stand–up paddle boarding class and continue the family campouts again this year, and we’ll have some new things happening soon.”

The new year also provides Outdoor Adventures with a new chance to encourage patrons to become active in local waterways. LeMaire is working on providing Gottschalk Marina and the Courthouse Bay Marina with much–needed face lifts. Utilizing these marinas for activities will help Outdoor enthusiasts and patrons aboard the base get into waterways

you’re afraid to get into the water.”

Grand Prix participants sprint toward the finish line of the Grand Prix Extreme Endurance Challenge 2012. The 2013 Grand Prix Race Series will offer new races, new obstacles and promises to be full of fun for runners, walkers and rollers of all ages.

Grand Prix promises new races for thrill-seekers in 2013 running program JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

Runners all across the Crystal Coast are lacing up their running shoes in preparation for the start of a brand new Grand Prix Race Series.

The 2013 Grand Prix Series is back and better than ever with a new race, lots of mileage and dozens of obstacles.

“March 16 we have a new race to debut,” said Sanda Heger, Grand Prix spokesperson. “It’s going to be an obstacle– course mud run race at Courthouse Bay. There’s

going to be a lot of mud, lots of tunnels, obstacles and walls we never had before.”

The St. Paddy’s Day Engineer Challenge course, designed by the Marine Corps School of Engineers aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, is one of three mud runs to kick off the Grand Prix Series in 2013. The St. Paddy’s Day Challenge, along with the X-Treme Endurance Challenge 10K and the Mud, Sweat and Tears mud run, will feature obstacles, mud pits and tunnels for participants to clamber through in their

race toward the finish line.

In addition to the mud runs, all the traditional Grand Prix series runs are back. The July beach run, half marathon and Santa Shuffle 5K will return in full–force.

While all the races will return to 2013, there will be some noticeable differences in the 2013 Grand Prix Series.

“We got a lot of feedback this year, so we’re going to try to build on it,” explained Heger. “This year we will have music at the starting line to pump everybody up. We will also try to hustle through

the awards ceremony so people don’t have to stay forever at the end of the race.

“We have two goals this year,” Heger added. “We want to keep the crowd pumped and have record– breaking attendance this year.”

Runners might also pick up on subtle changes to the Stone Bay Mud, Sweat and Tears 5K in April. “The guy in charge of the MCB Camp Pendleton race series, which is the largest Marine Corps series, is now stationed aboard MCB Camp Lejeune with MARSOC,” explained

Heger. “He bought into our race at Stone Bay and we are hoping it will help us grow a lot. I would like to see more than 1,000 people at the Stone Bay race. We’re hoping to see it.”

Looking toward the first race of the year, Heger is optimistic.

“This upcoming run is a 10K and it’s going to be cold, but we had to move everything up since we added another run,” said Heger. “We still have some time before the X-Treme Endurance Challenge, and we want to see a lot of people come out to run.”

The X-Treme Endurance Challenge is scheduled for Feb. 9 at Camp Devil Dog. Like the 2012 challenge run, the mud run 10K will feature obstacles, but Heger warned runners might see more terrain than last year due to construction.

For runners unsure of whether the Grand Prix Series is for them or not, Heger suggests coming out and getting in on the action. “Come be part of the family,” she suggested.

“Come enjoy a run, get some food at the end, and stay for the awards ceremony.”

Hard Corps fitness competition sheds light on natural bodybuilding program JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

Flex those muscles and get ready for Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s own natural bodybuilding and fitness competition.

The Hard Corps “Lean, Mean and Clean” bodybuilding competition will hold its first informational meeting aboard MCB Camp Lejeune Feb. 6. All interested participants are welcome to attend. From bodybuilding veterans to fitness newcomers, the Hard Corps competition welcomes all authorized Department of Defense identification cardholders ages 18 and older.

Sponsored by the Semper Fit division of Marine Corps Community Services, and run by Dennis Yeddo and John Heger, the Hard Corps competition will feature a clean and family–friendly atmosphere for all ages to enjoy.

“This event was starting by a gunny who wanted to keep his Marines from going out every weekend to get drunk,” said Heger, manager of the Area 2 Fitness Center aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. “He wanted to come up with positive things for the Marines in his unit to participate in, and keep them from getting in trouble on the weekends.”

Heger hopes to see Hard Corps draw the attention of Marines and sailors across MBC Camp Lejeune as they use it as a method to aide in meeting the health standards expected by the Marine Corps.

“We want to help them live a healthy lifestyle, condition their bodies for work, and help enforce the standards the Marine Corps has in place,” explained Heger.

The last natural bodybuilding competition to take place aboard MCB Camp Lejeune was in 1992, making the Hard Corps competition a unique and new experience for service members and their families.

To help prepare competitors for the bodybuilding competition, a series of four workshops will take place aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. The first three workshops will give competitors a clear explanation on rules and poses while the fourth will focus solely on poses.

“There are a lot of rules to talk about as well as different mandatory poses for various classes,” explained Heger. “We are encouraging anybody interested in competing to come out and be part of the workshops.”

In the first workshop, scheduled for Feb. 6, participants will learn how to prepare for the June competition, as well as go over basic rules and procedures. While the information may not be new to some participants, everyone is encouraged to attend.

In addition to learning the rules and procedures, Heger and Yeddo hope the Hard Corps competition will provide participants with a more positive view of figure fitness, strength training and overall health. By making their event family–friendly, all competitors will be held to the highest standard, keep their language clean and professional, and be expected to work as a team.

“We’d like to build a team atmosphere with these workshops and the competition,” said Heger.

“This is a unique thing for our Marines and their families aboard the base.

Other than intramural

teams, this is really the only method for them to compete on base, and it is something they can do on their own time.

“Experienced bodybuilders should come out to the meetings just like everyone else,” added Heger. “They can share

their experiences with new people, and be an encouragement. Sometimes it only takes a little push to get somebody to do something they never tried before.”

Heger encourages participants or interested participants to register at

the Area 2 Fitness Center prior to the Feb. 6 meeting, but agreed it was perfectly acceptable to attend the meeting without being sure if they want to participate or not.

“All Department of Defense cardholders should attend if they

think they might want to participate,” said Heger.

“Even if you’re not sure, you might come and decide you really like it.

Maybe you’ll learn you want to compete.”

The Hard Corps “Mean, Lean and Clean” competition will take

place June 1.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. Eagle Pose In addition to building strong legs and back muscles, the eagle pose is credited with energizing your entire body and aiding in digestion by straightening and lengthening your torso.

STEP BY STEP Start in a standing position, with your knees slightly bent.

Using your dominant leg to stand on, lift your opposite leg and hook your foot and ankle behind your calf muscle. Use a wall to help you regain balance if necessary.

Let your hips sink down and back, and straighten your spine, elongated your torso. Take a few deep breaths as you cross your arms at your elbows and wrists in front of your chest.

Hold this position for 45 seconds to a minute, depending on your abilities. When you are ready to come out of the pose, do so slowly as to not injure your body. Shake out your legs and arms, and switch sides.

YOGA FROM 1B How beneficial is yoga? Science credits it with a myriad of benefits, simultaneously cautioning people there is no exact scientific method to prove or disprove any theories or beliefs.

With its popularity rapidly growing, yoga experts are quick to caution newcomers about the dangers of trying too much too soon. While more athletic forms of yoga, such as Power Yoga and Hot Yoga, can help speed the heart rate and burn calories, they require more flexibility and

athleticism than regular yoga.

For those not ready for the fast–paced style of a more aerobic yoga workout, experts suggest slow breathing and simultaneous stretching to help open the body and relax the mind.

Standing poses like the Warrior, Crescent Lunge and Eagle Poses help stretch the body, tone leg and hip muscles and strengthen the core, while floor poses such as the Bridge, Plow and Bow Poses help open the upper body and stretch muscles

were the majority of people carry tension from their day–to–day lives.

It is imperative to be mindful yoga, like all forms of exercise, carries some risk. Most yoga professionals recommend not spending more than one minute any in position, as the joints and muscles can loosen and cause injury. Likewise, do not attempt risky exercises that put strain on vulnerable body parts like the spine, neck or head, without the aide of an experienced yoga professional.

For Marines, sailors

and dependents aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, the Semper Fit division of Marine Corps Community Services offers yoga group exercise classes designed to help the body stretch and exercise in the most effective manner possible. Ranging from regular yoga to power yoga, classes offer a variety of aerobic stretches and breathing techniques.

To learn more on yoga or attend a yoga class aboard MCB Camp Lejeune visit www.mccslejeune.com/groupexercise.

Bridge Pose Gravity is at work in the Bridge Pose. Using gravity and inversion to open your chest and shoulders, the Bridge Pose helps massage your thyroid gland (the glad designed to make hormones that regulate your metabolism) by lifting your chest toward your chin.

STEP BY STEP Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Keep your feet hip– distance apart. Reach down with your fingertips to see if they brush your heels. If not, walk your feet closer to your body until your heels and fingers touch.

Lift your body toward the ceiling, pressing your hips and torso up. Keep your thighs parallel.

Bring your hands together underneath your back and clasp your fingers. Roll your shoulder blades toward each other and hold the pose for 45 seconds.

If you cannot clasp your hands together at first, keep them palms down underneath your back. Do not let your chin and neck roll forward onto your chest. Instead, lift you head back, opening your neck and let your chest fall naturally toward you.

Release this position slowly and roll back to the floor. Repeat as needed.

ARMSTRONG FROM 2B am sorry. Thank you for your commitment and steadfast support of your favorite athletes.

I do not hold much hope Armstrong’s event was an isolated event. I am not so naive as to think he was the only professional athlete using banned substances to gain notoriety. I know there are others out there.

However, I do know there are countless athletes who follow the rules. I know there are athletes who compete every day under the knowledge they are at a disadvantage over those they know are not fighting fair, yet refuse to sink so low as to use banned substances to their advantage.

With Armstrong finally open and honest about his athletic history, the cycling community can move forward. They can shed light on the importance of fair play in other sports. They can closely monitor athletes whose performance seems too good to be true. They can heap praises on those who deserve it.

For every athlete who fights the fair fight, thank you. Thank you for not taking the easy way out.

Thank you for keeping your heads high in the face of failure. I don’t think you are thanked enough, and while we cannot go back in time, we can look forward to the future of cycling.

We can look to Ryan Eastman, and encourage him to participate in a clean fight as he prepares to take the cycling world by storm. Instead of focusing on Armstrong, we can turn our attention to Sarah Hammer in her pursuit of honest competition.

We owe them that much.

Are you following @Lejeuneglobe on Twitter? Are you connected with us on Facebook? Let us know what you’re doing this weekend. If your team, club or event wants to be featured in the Globe leave me a tweet @GlobeJessie or e-mail me at jessie.heath@ pilotonline.com.

7B

Bow Pose Like many other poses, the Bow Pose helps keep your metabolism up to speed.

STEP BY STEP Lie face down on the floor and bring your hands alongside your body. Bend your knees back and grab your ankles. Stretch your legs up and open up your torso.

Crescent Lunge Pose The Crescent Lunge Pose is known for increasing heart rate, which helps boost metabolism. It also strengthens and stretches the legs and hips.

STEP BY STEP Begin the Crescent Lunge Pose by standing straight up and down.

Center your weight and relax before stepping forward with your right foot. Keeping your weight on the ball of your back foot, bring your hands over your head.

Straighten your arms, and take slow and deep breaths as you balance your upper body to stand as straight as possible.

Keep your feet pointed forward, and your palms facing each other. Hold the pose for 30 seconds to a minute before slowly bringing your arms down and your feet together.

Switch sides and repeat the process, remembering to breathe as you stretch. Make sure you keep your balance on the balls of your feet and remember to hold your center of gravity.

Plow Pose The plow pose is an inversion pose, which helps send out feel–good endorphins released by your thyroid, adrenal and pituitary glands.

These hormones course through your body, helping to balance the metabolic system.

STEP BY STEP Begin the Plow Pose by laying flat on your back with your arms at your side and your legs out in front of you. Lift your legs straight into the air, keeping your knees straight and your feet together. Slowly press your weight into the palms of your hands for balance as you roll your hips and back into the air. Place your toes behind your head and hold the position as you breathe.

If your legs do not touch the ground behind you, bring your hands to your back and clasp them for added support. If your feet do not touch the ground, do not push yourself further than you are able. Roll your body back down until you laying flat on the floor again. Move into the Bridge Pose for an easier inversion pose.

The heart is resilient.

Whether broken, bruised, shattered or full, it takes whatever life throws its way.

Hundreds of students learned the importance of keeping the vital organ healthy while participating in lessons for their annual Heart Unit at Heroes Elementary School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Jan. 14 through 18. th “You are in charge of your body,” Becky Ventters, a retired teacher, explained to her young audieence. “It’s up to you to keep it healthy.”

Venters boasts nearly 40 years of teaching experience and jumped at the invitation to serve as a p guest lecturer explaining a complicated subject in gu simple terms through a unique method. sim “I set up an obstacle course because children tend to llearn better with a hands-on approach,” she said.

Before venturing through the aorta, however, stuB dents first learned what makes the heart tick. They sat den captivated by Venters’ storytelling approach and were capt shocked to learn around 2 million blood cells die each shoc day. Audible sighs of relief came when they found out the same amount of cells are also produced on a daily basis.

“Children want to learn and know how things work,” Venters pointed out.

“When a child knows how something works, it’s easier for them to SEE HEART 7C

‘This is 40’ rings true, ‘Squad’ shows no mercy Now playing at Camp Lejeune “THIS IS 40” (R) “This is 40” is a grownup comedy and spin-off sequel to the 2007 film “Knocked-Up.” This film takes an unfiltered comedic look inside the life of an American family.

Five years into their marriage, a couple continues to fight their way through the ups and downs while taking stock of their lives.

Paul Rudd (“Wanderlust,” “Our Idiot Brother”) stars as Pete, Debbie’s husband and record label owner who lives in an allfemale house with his wife and two daughters.

Leslie Mann (“The Change-Up,” “17 Again”) stars as Debbie, Pete’s wife who owns a clothing boutique. Her tense relationship with her man-child husband has her freaking out as they are about to hit midlife.

The two reprise their roles as Pete and Debbie from “Knocked Up” as they are approaching milestone meltdowns – both turn 40 in one emotional tumultuous week.

As Pete struggles to keep his record label afloat, he and Debbie are also navigating a three-week course on sex and romance, career victories, financial hardships, aging parents and maturing children.

They also must figure out how to forgive and forget, and enjoy the rest of their lives before they kill each other.

What emerges is a deeply honest portrait of

the challenges and rewards of marriage and parenthood in the modern age.

Maude and Iris Apatow (the director’s real-life children) appear as the bright daughters of the stressed out parents.

Co-starring are Jason Segel (“Bad Teacher”) as Jason, Debbie’s trainer, Megan Fox (“Transformers”) as Desi, Debbie’s younger coworker, Albert Brooks (“Drive”) as Larry, Pete’s father, and John Lithgow (“The Campaign”) as Oliver, Debbie’s father.

Also appearing are Melissa McCarthy (“Bridesmaids”) as Catherine, Annie Mumolo (“Bridesmaids” cowriter) as Barb, Lena Dunham (creator of “Girls”) as Cat, and Charlyn Yi (stoner chick in “Knocked Up”) as Jodi.

Judd Apatow (“Funny People,” “Knocked Up,” “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”) wrote, produced and directed this new comedy that captures what it takes for one family to flourish in the middle of a lifetime together; and took inspiration from his own life with wife Leslie Mann.

“This is 40” is a totally relatable comedy that takes an honest and bold look at family life coping with various midlife crises, depicting wedded couples in lots of hilarious situations.

Now playing in Jacksonville “GANGSTER SQUAD” (R) “Gangster Squad” is a crime thriller and a chronicle of the Los Angeles Police Department’s fight

The story focuses on a 1949 police unit handpicked to bring down a Hollywood mobster.

Nick Nolte (“Warrior”) co-stars as Chief William Parker newly assigned to the Los Angeles Police Department who recruits a special squad to stop Cohen from taking over the city.

Brush burns as part of a Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune prescribed burn onboard the base Jan. 22. Prescribed burns are lit and managed by the Forestry Department as a way to manage excess underbrush and enhance the wildlife habitat for the many species of animals aboard the base.

Prescribed burns keep habitat healthy LANCE CPL. JOSHUA W. GRANT

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

There are thousands of species of endangered plants and animals spanning the globe, and they all need protecting. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune does its part to protect its indigenous endangered species with prescribed burns.

Some endangered species need cold, snowy environments to thrive but some need open areas, and prescribed burns open those habitats in otherwise thick, forested areas on base.

Spanning from January to August, MCB Camp Lejeune’s burn period targets high priority areas, reducing excess flammable material, decreasing the possibility of wildfires and clearing underbrush.

Prescribed fires are often not lit during April and

May because it is detrimental to the habitat, said Kyle Avesing, a forester fire management specialist with the Environmental Management Division. “Everything’s on a burn rotation,� said Avesing. “We make sure to burn every three to four years.

It keeps the habitat healthy and reduces flammable underbrush.�

There is no excess cutting, and the burns only take place in areas where it is necessary, explained Avesing.

Avesing stated all the prescribed burns done on base are marked by signs to ensure the public is aware and understand it is not a wildfire. “If you see smoke, do not be alarmed,� said Avesing. “If signs are not seen, however, the public should contact 911.�

Off base there are many partners and outside

agencies also conducting prescribed burns, so if traveling, check for signs before contacting emergency services, added Avesing.

Many people see the fires and believe it harms the environment, but prescribed fires often enrich and protect habitats for many plants and animals. “It helps deer and turkey move around, but our endangered species also benefit,� said Avesing. “The burns open up space for our endangered plants to grow.

Lejeune jumps back in saddle for training LANCE CPL. JOSHUA W. GRANT

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

T

raining, no matter what the topic, can sometimes feel useless and monotonous, but more often than not it has an important

purpose.

Back-in-the-saddle training for civilians aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is one of those purposeful training requirements, and for the first time ever it was made mandatory.

BITS is a two-tier program used to educate and train supervisors, but also support and re-enforce the mishap reduction program.

Ron Sarmento, deputy director of safety for Marine Corps Installations – East, MCB Camp Lejeune, commented on the BITS training, stating roughly 15 objectives over a two and half to threehour period are used to help deliver a more direct and interactive way to train the supervisors. “We received nothing but positive feedback. There was a lot of information they weren’t aware of prior to the training but afterwards they were very knowledgeable,� said Sarmento. “It wasn’t mandatory in the past, but since we had a low attendance rate and higher average mishap

rate, we spoke to the deputy commander and the chief of staff and decided we need people in the seats.�

Navy Capt. John Carson, the Public Works Officer, who received the supervisors training, added more structure was used this year and allowed the supervisors to discuss the various safety programs they used and how to manage mishaps. “Because of the nature of our business, I tend to have workers in the field who have more hazards than standard desk jobs,� said Carson. “Our focus is to change the culture, and make safety first and foremost in everyone’s mind. We need them to think about what they’re doing before they act.�

When the supervisors receive BITS training, it can take some time to trickle down to subordinates. Therefore, nonsupervisor training was held in order to continue the education.

The non-supervisor training mainly teaches the general-facilities civilians and incorporates three main topics – an introduction to Occupational Safety and Health Administration, hazardous material training and ergonomics training, said Corey Myers, occupational safety and health specialist. “This is the first time we made this mandatory. I think we’re definitely

on the right track to reduce mishaps base-wide,� said Myers. “Any training we can do to educate the work force and reduce the possibility of mishaps is good training.�

Whether it’s the supervisor or the subordinate, BITS training is beneficial because it reinforces the reduction of mishaps and implementation of safety measures in all work environments.

Kim Hua Flournoy plays with her only grandchild weeks before her murder in Jacksonville, N.C., Dec. 30, 2012. Local authorities are following all leads in connection to the case, and a reward up to $22,500 is offered to anyone with information leading to an arrest.

Communities join together to seek justice AMY BINKLEY

Assistant managing editor

Death is an unwelcome visitor no one can evade. But when a life is stolen, justice must be served.

Hopes for a bright new year were shattered when police were called to the scene of an apparent homicide and possible armed robbery at a local bingo hall on Henderson Drive in Jacksonville, N.C., Dec. 30, 2012. The victim, Kim Hua Flournoy, was a 65-year-old Marine Corps widow, mother of two and a new grandmother.

“She was part of the fabric of this community,” said Beth Purcell, Jacksonville Police Department media liason.

Flournoy probably never imagined permanently settling down in the small military community when her husband was stationed aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune more than 40 years ago. After his unexpected death while on active-duty in 1979, however, she planted her feet and chose to stay.

She became a familiar face around the area, working on base in various mess halls and raising her children in town.

“This became her home,” explained Courtesy photo A billboard encourages local citizens to contact Crime Stoppers with Lt. Jason Bettis, investigations superviinformation about the murder of Kim Flournoy last year for a reward up to sor for the JPD. “We’d like for justice to $22,500 if leading to an arrest. The billboard was donated by a local ad agency be done.”

The heinous crime rocked both the in the latest show of community support in the search for the perpetrator.

military and local communities, and within a matter of days, local businesses, including Crime Stoppers, and an anonymous donor pooled their resources to offer a reward that climbed up to $22,500 for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator.

“Homicides aren’t a common occurrence here, but we give it our all when it comes to solving them,” Bettis assured.

“We’re following every lead – no matter how small. We’re looking to question anyone.”

Although the large sum of reward money brings in new tips daily, the JPD immediately partnered with MCB Camp Lejeune’s Naval Criminal Investigative Service to follow up on every clue, leaving no stone unturned.

“We always had an outstanding relationship with NCIS,” Bettis noted.

“They are always willing to help us as much as they can, and it really speaks to the caliber of people they have over there.”

Joe Kennedy, special agent in charge of NCIS, also recognized the ease with which the agencies flow.

“In this day and age, it’s all about collaboration,” Kennedy admitted. “We can only solve crimes through collaboration. We’re more effective as a team. We have a great relationship with the other agencies.”

Chamber of Commerce celebration boosts community involvement, military support CPL. KATHERINE SOLANO Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

T

he city of Jacksonville, N.C., is a thriving, bustling community placing an emphasis on local fundraising, volunteering and economic promotion.

The Jacksonville-Onslow Chamber of Commerce works to encourage such involvement from small businesses to larger corporations.

They also have a special committee solely for the advancement of the working relationship between the military and civilian populations.

The Chamber’s 69th annual membership celebration was recently held aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Each

year, the celebration recognizes outstanding individuals and businesses. Awards include Woman of the Year, Golden Eagle Man of the Year, Civic Honoree Ambassador and Hospitality Person of the Year.

The Woman of the Year is an individual who “demonstrated a commitment to the community and the Jacksonville-Onslow Chamber of Commerce that can be traced to the unrelenting passion for her hometown,” as stated in the award citation.

“The award winner is a tireless advocate for making Jacksonville and Onslow County a better place to live, a better place to work and a better place to run a business.”

The subsequent awards cited similar characteristics of each recipient. Phrases like “she seems like everyone’s next-door

neighbor,” “go-to guys” and “she has never met a stranger” paint the picture of a dedicated Chamber with members devoted to their fellow business owners and citizens.

The betterment of the community as a whole is a top priority for the Chamber and its specialized committees. Their mission statement aims at promoting collaborative partnerships to enhance the business climate and develop further a vibrant quality of life.

The ceremony also served to highlight the priceless relationship between Jacksonville’s military community and its civilian populace.

“This is a military town, so building relationships, and getting word out to let them know we care and appreciate them is important,” said Dawn Jensen,

the Military Affairs manager for the Chamber. “We want people to spend their money here on all the wonderful things we have to offer in the county. The military population outweighs the civilian. If they don’t spend their money locally, the businesses here wouldn’t survive, period.”

Jensen’s committee also works with the military community, with the support of Marine Corps Installations – East Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Commanding General Brig.

Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, during weather emergencies, construction projects and development of new small businesses.

“When the tornados came through [in 2011] we coordinated with the Department of Defense, the base and our hotelowning members to get free rooms and other necessities to

those in need,” Jensen explained.

Many of the members not only provide material goods or services to their customers, the citations also read they are “willing to give, willing to work, willing to lead and willing to pray if it’s what you need.”

Perhaps the most impressive, if not honorable, stance of the Chamber is, “If the business isn’t taking care of their customers, then we don’t want them involved,” as stated by Jensen.

She also stressed, “If we can keep the military and civilian community happy, we are doing something right.”

2nd Radio Bn. equipment provides new line of defense LANCE CPL. JOSHUA W. GRANT

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Communication is key in every workplace, but even more so for the military. Keeping up-to-date equipment is the first line of defense.

For 2nd Radio Battalion, Marine Headquarters Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, recent equipment acquisition included new, lightweight satellites for field training. The newest arrival - the High Bandwidth Special Intelligence Team Terminal - meets the Marine Corps’ urgent request for new satellites to be employed.

The new dish provides the battalion the capability to pass collected data to intelligence analysis centers in near real time, resulting in timely and actionable intelligence products. It also provides an ability for the battalion to access national and theater-level intelligence networks.

HBSI-TT consists of two main subsystems. The radio frequency subsystem provides voice connectivity, while

the network subsystem provides for internet requirements. This lightweight solution can be deployed in a matter of minutes.

Twelve Marines took part in the training and fielding of the new systems, and were instructed on how to bring the new system online and conduct function checks.

On the final day of training technical inspections were conducted on the equipment and the HBSI-TT’s were added to the battalion’s capability set for current and future operations.

“All the testing is already completed, the gear passed its validation,” said Maj. David Arjona, project officer at Networking and Satellite Communications, Satellite Communications Systems, Marine Corps Systems Command. “This fielding is for the Marines to train on the gear before it’s turned over to them.”

MCSC will continue new equipment training and fielding to other units across the Marine Corps receiving the HBSI-TT.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. HEART FROM 1C remember. I’ve had kids in high school tell me they still remember the parts of the heart because of these lessons.”

Students recited the number of chambers of the heart, how many times it beats per day and the purpose of certain blood cells.

“The white blood cells are soldiers and kill the germs,” they recalled in unison.

After proving they knew their facts, Venters announced the students’ transformation into red blood cells. She instructed each one how to maneuver their way through the obstacle course, going under arches representing ventricles, pulling themselves along a rope through arteries, and finally traveling through a tunnel acting as the aorta.

Students made stops along the way to get their own hearts pumping by jumping rope and walking a lap around the room.

“The American Heart Society’s big push is physical health,” Venters noted. “This makes it real to a child.”

She stated how some members of her classes didn’t like the idea of eating vegetables to stay healthy, but the instructor explained how it wasn’t just about them.

“You’re not feeding yourself, you’re feeding your heart,” she said.

Second grade teacher, Nancy Hunnicutt, worked with Venters in years past on similar lessons and was thrilled to have her at the school as students prepare for National Heart Health Month.

“It’s a great time to learn about the heart,” Hunnicutt replied. “The kids love the way (Venters) teaches.”

Students also took the opportunity to create a heart health-themed collage, listen through stethoscopes and look through a microscope.

Venters watched and smiled as she saw each child connect what they learned with the activity they participated in.

“I love teaching,” she said, trying to hold back her tears. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to come here and work with these students. I’m so thankful for the privilege to be able to share.”

The school is gearing up for next month’s Jump Rope for Heart activities.

Plant seeds of patience in seasons of waiting Whoever said patience is a virtue should be forced to walk barefoot across a floor full of Legos. Why can’t “hurry up because I have things to do” be a virtue?

Oh my word with Amy Binkley

Assistant managing editor

I’m aggravated.

This isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill annoyance. I’m talking about arms crossed, foot tapping, looking at my phone to see how many minutes passed since the last time I checked irritation.

Pointing fingers and assigning blame won’t help.

The source of my exasperation is intangible, and no matter what I do, there’s no controlling it.

I am stuck in a season of waiting.

Wait is a four-letter word describing an action taking place in a period of time in which preparation is made, anticipation is built

and projects are completed.

Personally, I think it’s an abbreviation for emotional torture and mental agony.

Whoever said patience is a virtue should be forced to walk barefoot across a floor full of Legos. Why can’t “hurry up because I have things to do” be a virtue?

According to my latest Google search, the average person spends a total of five years of their lives simply waiting on things.

We wait in lines, in traffic, for food, for better weather, for love, for forgiveness, and for almost anything of importance.

It’s an unavoidable part of existence.

A few weeks ago I celebrated the first anniversary of my 29th birthday. I wish I could say I entered my third decade of life with grace and dignity, but I was never good at lying. In my

CRIME FROM 4C Kennedy added how most people don’t realize how closely the JPD and NCIS work together.

“We work a lot of joint investigations with the local police and sheriff departments because a large percentage of the population consists of Marines,” he responded.

Lead detective Gary Manning explained why he thinks Flournoy’s murder had such an impact on her fellow citizens and the reasoning behind their monetary support leading to an arrest.

“Any time there is no one to stand in the gap for the victim, like with the elderly or children, it

final days of my twenties, I laughed, cried, reflected and asked myself an important question I now pose to you.

What are you doing while you wait?

Life is often described as a journey, and from what I can tell, seasons of waiting are the valleys we pass through in between mountain top experiences.

Once reached, mountain tops offer breathtaking views, irreplaceable memories and feelings of accomplishment. So why doesn’t everyone buy property on the highest tip of Mt. Everest?

The answer surprised me.

Life is not sustainable for long periods of time at such high altitudes. Growth occurs in the valleys.

Let it sink in.

Was your character

changes the face of the crime,” Manning stated. “It makes it more personal. We all have someone in our lives who would be defenseless in a situation like this. These should have been her golden years. It’s unfair.”

No arrests were made in connection with the crime, but authorities are searching for information about a four-door white Dodge Avenger seen fleeing the area after the shooting.

Bettis emphasized the importance of reporting anything related to the crime.

“If you have any information, we want to hear it,” he said. “We want

carved in times of celebration or times of trial? Did you build your endurance climbing hills or coasting down them?

Whether we like it or not, the valleys of waiting allow us the time to plant seeds of patience that produce the endurance we need to make it up our mountains.

Inevitably, there will be times you want to quit, but don’t give up on your dream just because it takes time to accomplish. The time will pass either way.

If you try to by-pass the growth, you’ll not only end up injured but right back where you started.

Keep your mountain in sight and know there will be a time to climb.

And in the meantime, wait. Those seeds of patience are bound to grow eventually.

to talk to you.”

Purcell encouraged people to notify authorities by any means, and stated they may choose to stay anonymous.

“What you think is the most insignificant detail could be the key to solving this,” she urged.

For the reward up to $22,500 leading to an arrest, informants can contact Manning at 938-6405 or gmanning@ci.jacksonville.nc.us.

Tips can be left through Crime Stoppers at 938-3273. Messages are also welcomed on the Jacksonville Police Department Facebook page.
