arine mortarmen from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, in support of African Lion 2012, executed a quick-strike, indirectfire mission on a simulated enemy fuel convoy at Cap Draa, Morocco, recently.

Marines of 81 mm mortar platoon, Weapons Company, Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 24th MEU raided and secured a beach on Cap Draa after traveling from USS Iwo Jima by landing craft, air cushion - a large amphibious hovercraft.

After securing the beach, Marines trudged up a rocky, sand-covered mountain, carrying their 81 mm mortar systems, ammunition and their personal weapons while clad in body armor and kevlar helmets. Some Marines were carrying nearly 100 pounds of equipment.

They had to move all of this equipment to the attack position a few miles inland.

They didn’t have time to think about the weight on their shoulders, though, because they were being timed and observed by their unit leaders. As a result, it was a race to set up and aim their mortar system

INSIDE THE GLOBE

upon reaching the firing point.

“This exercise was executed, partially, to see how fast we could complete this raid,” said Lance Cpl. Bula Aizar, machine gunner ammunition technician for 81 mm mortar platoon. “That included traveling from ship, setting up security, patrolling to position, setting up and pointing the guns, firing all rounds and returning to the extraction point.”

Aizar said setting up was rough, due to the high winds coming from the sea.

“We had a few problems that slowed us down, but we fired all rounds and every one of them was on target,” he said. “Overall, I think we were pretty successful, despite those difficulties.”

After eliminating their target, the Marines hiked back toward the sea to their helicopter extraction point, boarded the aircraft, and were gone as fast as they came. The entire operation was completed in less than two hours.

“Everything we did here today, are things we’re supposed to be able to do,” said 2nd Lt. Benjamin Beasley, 81 mm mortar platoon commander.

“The only difference today, was we were the main attack element, rather than being a supporting unit.

Doing things like this keeps us polished on all of our expeditionary skills and ready to operate.”

II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) officially deactivated during a ceremony, April 18, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

The unit deployed from March 2011 to March 2012 under the command of Maj. Gen. John A. Toolan, and served as the headquarters element of NATO’s Regional Command Southwest, comprised of approximately 30,000 coalition troops, responsible for an area of more than 40,000 square miles encompassing Helmand and Nimroz provinces.

During II MEF (Fwd.)’s deployment, several districts, including the Helmand provincial capital at Lashkar Gah transitioned to Afghan control. Other districts, including the former Taliban stronghold at Marjah, are scheduled to transition later this year as the coalition continues to shift its mission in the region from counterinsurgency to advisory.

Gen. James F. Amos, the commandant of the Marine Corps, and Lt. Gen. John M. Paxton Jr., the commanding general of II Marine Expeditionary Force, joined Toolan and his staff for the ceremony.

Marines with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit share a quick embrace, April 18, after a memorial ceremony to honor Cpl. Derek Kerns and Cpl. Robby Reyes, crew chiefs with VMM-261 (Reinforced), who died during a training accident in Morocco, April 11.

Marines and sailors from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit and Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group gathered together to honor Cpl. Derek Kerns and Cpl. Robby Reyes during a memorial ceremony aboard USS Iwo Jima, April 18.

Kerns and Reyes died during a training accident in Morocco, April 11, when the MV-22 Osprey they were flying in crashed while participating in the bi-lateral training exercise called African Lion 12. Both Marines were crew chiefs with the 24th MEU’s aviation combat element, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron VMM-261 (Reinforced), based out of Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C. The memorial took place in the ship’s hangar bay, where Marines and sailors stood in formation centered around photos of the two Marines against the backdrop of a clear sky and blue water.

Two of Kerns’ and Reyes’ fellow crew chiefs shared a few words and stories about their friends during the ceremony.

Lance Cpl. Michael Garrison, who had known Kerns since air crew school, described him to the crowd as a “skinny kid from Jersey who always had a story for everything that was going on.”

“I knew him for three-and-a-half years.

It doesn’t seem real,” said Garrison. “He was an outstanding friend, an outstanding father, husband, crew chief and brother to everybody. There was never a downtime with him. He was always happy.”

Cpl. Lucas Schmidt stepped to the podium and explained that Reyes “wasn’t the kind of guy who stuck out in a crowd. And that’s the way he liked it.”

He described his friend by informing the Marines and sailors that Reyes extended his enlistment to remain a VMM-261 “Raging Bull” for the current 24th MEU deployment, and that when others complained SEE FALLEN 10A

arines with Landing Support Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group conducted helicopter support team training at Landing Zone Kite aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, April 10 through 13.

The purpose of the exercise was to give the company’s Marines a chance to practice their trade in a

T H E F O R

field environment.

The Marines tackled the tedious task of connecting cargo to a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter using a sling as it hovered mere feet above their heads.

“Our job is dangerous, but that is what this training is for,” said Cpl. John E. Wisniewski, a landing support specialist with CLR-27. “We come out here and get as much practice as we can, so nothing bad happens.”

A landing support specialist’s job, in this case, is done within 15 seconds under ideal circumstances. From grounding the hook on the bottom of the helicopter

D I R E C T O R

to take off, the process is meant to be streamlined, explained Sgt. Kip Buedel, a platoon staff non-commissioned officer in charge with LS Company.

“You want to do it as fast as possible,” Buedel said. “We have many jobs to do on the flightline, and they’re crucial to the rest of the Marines out there.”

Landing support specialists’ responsibilities include moving vital supplies like pallets of food and water, Marine artillery weapons, such as M-777 howitzers, and small vehicles.

Numerous things can go wrong while standing under the helicopter,

from electrocution to the hitch swinging into a Marine. The seriousness of the job isn’t hard to grasp.

“A big part of our job is safety,” said Wisniewski. “You have to learn how to work as a team, it makes the job easier.

“If you look out for each other the job will go smoothly. Whoever you are working with is going to have your back, so you need to be comfortable,” he said.

With practice comes comfort, so the company’s platoons conduct approximately 10 helicopter support team training cycles every month to hone their skills.

AL-12 is a U.S. African Command-sponsored, Marine Forces Africa-led exercise involving various types of training including command post, live-fire and maneuvering, peace-keeping operations, an intelligence capacity building seminar, aerial refueling/low-level flight training, as well as medical and dental assistance projects.

Marines, Moroccans prep for final exercise at Exercise Africa Lion 2012 CPL. TYLER L. MAIN

Marine Forces Africa

Marines of Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit and Moroccan Armed Forces service members, teamed up to rehearse the final exercise for Exercise Africa Lion 2012 in Cap Draa, Morocco, April 16.

Starting at their encampments, Marines and Moroccan soldiers boarded heli-

copters, flew to the target objective and worked bilaterally to eliminate a simulated enemy threat.

“The entire goal of this exercise is to be able to combine forces, integrate and complete a mission using both countries’ style of tactics,” said Lance Cpl. Samuel-Jesse Landry, a squad automatic weapon gunner with BLT, 1st Bn., 2nd Marines, 24th MEU. “I think we did that.”

The multinational force

was cooperating days prior to the rehearsal and was able to complete the mission in less than 15 minutes. Landry thought this was important, not only for the final exercise to be a success, but for success in future operations.

“Maybe one day down the road, since we’re allies, we’ll need to cooperate and lean on the Moroccans’ expertise in a real-world mission,” he said. Sgt. Justin B. Orange, squad leader, BLT, 1st Bn., 2nd Marines, 24th

MEU, added he would be glad if he had the opportunity to work alongside his Moroccan counterparts in the future.

“They’re a good fighting force, and we’ve had a good time out here training with them,” he said. “They’ve picked up quickly on the things we’ve taught them, and they actually showed us how they embarked and departed from helicopters.”

Landry said the experience he’s had with the Moroccan

service members at Cap Draa was a memorable one.

“I’ve never been out of the U.S., I’ve never seen big sand dunes, and I’ve never communicated with people from another country, so this is definitely something I can tell stories about,” Landry said. “Not many people can say they’ve ever done the things I’ve gotten to do here.”

AL-12 is a U.S. African Command-sponsored, Marine Forces Africa-led

exercise involving various types of training including command post, live-fire and maneuvering, peace-keeping operations, an intelligence capacity building seminar, aerial refueling/low-level flight training, as well as medical and dental assistance projects.

The annual exercise is designed to improve interoperability and mutual understanding of each nation’s military tactics, techniques and procedures.

Lejeune Marines receive counter-IED training CPL. JAMES CLARK II Marine Expeditionary Force

Maj. Gen. John A. Toolan, commanding general of 2nd Marine Division, speaks to his Marines after the 2nd Marine Division run aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, April 20.

2nd Marine Division runs until running’s done CPL. TIMOTHY SOLANO 2nd Marine Division

A

mid a crowd of almost 16,000 Marines and sailors from the 2nd Marine Division, Sgt. Ruben Diaz posted his regiment’s colors high above the rest, listening to the division’s commanding general speak as the unit’s numerous battle streamers moved ever so slightly with the morning breeze, April 20.

The Marines and sailors just finished a threemile run, led by Maj. Gen. John A. Toolan, the 2nd Marine Division commanding general. Though some deployed elements were unable to attend the run, Marines from each battalion throughout the division represented their brothers-in-arms deployed around the world.

“I want to go back to Afghanistan,” said Diaz, a color sergeant for 8th Marine Regiment. “Why? It’s simple. There’s still a job to do.”

Other Marines who haven’t yet had the opportunity to deploy to a combat environment saw the run as a time to stop and think about fellow Marines and the sacrifices they are making every day while deployed.

“I wanted to go to Afghanistan but ended up deploying with the (26th Marine Expeditionary Unit),” said Cpl. Ronald Canales, an amphibious assault vehicle crewman with 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion. “But,

I’m praying that all our guys over there are safe and that nothing bad happens.”

Regardless of combat experience or deployment know-how, every Marine on the run was reminded of the bad things that can happen in combat when Lance Cpl. Adrian Simone was heard shouting “1/6” over the cadences of nearby units.

Simone, a rifleman with first platoon, Company B, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, is a double amputee who ran at the front of his battalion to motivate his fellow Marines.

Simone incurred several injuries after being hit by an improvised explosive device last August in the Sangin District of Helmand province, Afghanistan, the worst of which resulted in the amputation of both of his legs from the knee down.

After the run, the division huddled around the commanding general and sergeant major to hear them speak.

“Keep your honor clean,” said Toolan, looking into the crowd of green shirts and desert uniform trousers, “because we owe it to those who have served before us.”

Sgt. Maj. Michael F. Jones, sergeant major of 2nd Marine Division, made his final address to the division as a whole, as he prepares to move on to become sergeant major of Marine Corps Forces Command.

“I am a blessed man,” said Jones, “to be able to say that I have been the sergeant major of the 2nd

The Marines and sailors of II Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group participated in a counter-improvised explosive device training event, April 17, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

During the exposition, the Marines made their way through a circuit, receiving instruction on new types of equipment and tactics available to overcome the ever-present IED threat in Afghanistan.

Marine and civilian instructors gave classes on metal detectors used to circumvent roadside bombs and demonstrated the uses of Explosive Ordnance Disposal robots.

Tables were littered with bomb triggers and containers used to hold shrapnel constructed out of materials ranging from wood to Styrofoam and clear plastic bottles.

Although most of the devices looked more like a pile of trash than deadly weapons, they sent a strong message about the resourcefulness of insurgents.

The target audience was the senior leadership of Camp Lejeune, the Marine Corps’ East Coast deployment hub.

In his closing words, Toolan encouraged the division to understand the purpose of runs like these and to look back at the accomplishments of Marines past. He cited historic events in April from as far back as 1st Lt. Presley LET US PROVE O’Bannon’s successful attack in the Battle of Derna to 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment in the 2009 Battle of Now Zad. The run was the first division-wide function since 2nd Marine Division (Forward) returned from serving as both the Task Force Leatherneck command element and ground combat element in Helmand province, Afghanistan, during 2011.

“For the past 237 years, Marines have been getting

The leaders’ decisions on the battlefield have potentially lasting and profound results, explained Cpl. Benjamin Gottwald, an instructor, who helped conduct the training.

“The awareness training was aimed at educating leaders on what new tools and tactics we’ve developed, so they can carry that knowledge forward when they deploy,” said Gottwald. “(The leadership) is who decides what gear we get, so if we can highlight what gear we need, there’s a chance our voices will be heard.”

The awareness training also instructed participants in insurgent tactics, training and procedures, informing the Marines about which tools and tactics have been overcome by the enemy, and what can be done to stay ahead.

“We gave general understanding of things currently being done on deployment, both in regards to our devices, and to insurgent tactics,” explained Charles Tucker, a civilian who works for the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Engineer Center.

The training continued throughout the day, giving those present a glimpse of what is waiting for them on deployment.

A portion of the New River adjacent to Camp Lejeune was home to an afternoon of raft operations hosted by the Marines of 8th Engineer Support Battalion’s Bridge Company, April 17.

Several Marine Corps reservists attached to Folsom, Pa.-based Bridge Company Bravo, 6th ESB partnered with their active-duty counterparts as part of their premobilization training.

The unit is scheduled to activate and attach to Combat Logistics Battalion 2 later this year for a deployment to Afghanistan. Any hands-on training they receive before then is invaluable.

“We are helping fa-

cilitate that when it comes to bridging,” said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Griffith Ruskin, a bridge platoon commander. “They have one day with us and they are shadowing us to see how we do rafting ops.”

This particular operation included the assembly, embarkation and operation of a seven-bay raft across an approximate 2.4-mile span of water, or “wet gap,” as the Marines referred to it, between Weils Point and Rhodes Point training areas.

Depending on the mission, rafting is an extremely efficient means of transporting cargo and personnel across large expanses of water vice the alternative of a more time-consuming and labor-intensive bridge build.

The raft itself is made

of seven sections of actual Ribbon Bridge components - two ramps and five interior floating compartments - and is guided by two MK III Bridge Erection Boats.

2nd Lt. Azriel Peskowitz, a platoon commander with Bridge Company, noted the training evolution provided a couple of his newly-licensed boat operators with valuable “stick time,” while one of his noncommissioned officers gained experience as a raft commander.

“Any (military occupational specialty) training is a good thing and we’ll work to get any time we can,” he said.

Peskowitz noted the training was just one part of a week of scheduled unit projects, which also include carpentry and construction activity.

FALLEN FROM 1A about what seemed like meaningless work, Reyes would roll with it and laugh it off.

“I will never forget him, and we could all learn a thing or two from a man like Robby Reyes,” said Schmidt.

Toward the end of the ceremony, Sgt. Maj. Ricky Jackson, the senior enlisted Marine for VMM-261 (Reinforced), marched front and center of his Marines, stood at attention and conducted a ceremonial roll call. This procedure consisted of Marines within the unit responding to the sergeant major as he called their names. When Jackson called Kerns’ and Reyes’ names, there was only silence.

Roll call was followed by the playing of taps and a 21-gun salute.

Lt. Col. Brian Smith Jr., the commanding officer of VMM-261 (Reinforced), who had flown recently with both Kerns and Reyes, honored them by defining a crew chief ’s role in the Marine Corps.

Airplanes require constant work and it doesn’t matter whether it’s hot, cold, or raining. A crew chief ’s job is extremely under-appreciated, but they’re the reason aircraft keep flying and they do it with a smile on their face, he said.

Col. Frank Donovan, commanding officer of the 24th MEU, paid homage to Kerns and Reyes by focusing the Marines and sailors of the 24th MEU on the future.

“Today we honor them through words. Tomorrow we honor them through actions,” he said.

Smith’s comments to the Marines concluded in similar fashion.

“There’s no greater way to honor Kerns and Reyes than to continue to do the things we’ve already done. Everyone counts on us, and I count on you,” he said. “The next time we do something amazing … I can look at each one of you in the eye and know that we’re honoring their memory. Because that’s exactly what they would have wanted.”

Retiree Corner

with Randy Reichler

Secretary of the Navy Retiree Council held in Washington A Secretary of the Navy Retiree Council was held in Washington, D.C., last week. The recommendations sent to the Secretary of the Navy from the council were as follows: 1. Retiree should not shoulder the burden of TRICARE fee increases. 2. There needs to be an inclusion of military retirees on the Retirement Modernization Commission, when established. 3.

Continuance of printing at least another issue of “Shift Colors” to inform Navy retired personnel and advertise cost savings of military mail order pharmacy. 4. Develop an electronic DD214 which, can be automatically set to the Department of Veteran Affairs of the individual’s state of choice with an opt out choice for those not wishing to do so. 5. Enhance electronic access to “Shift Colors” and “Semper Fidelis.” 6. Establish a national day of recognition for Navy and Marine Corps retired personnel.

The council narrowed the six issues down from a larger list so that we could have a focus on the more important issues. During the five days of meetings, we had very informative speakers come through and provide insight on the issues facing retirees. The one issue that garnered the most attention and discussion was the forecasted TRICARE hikes, which was to shift $13 billion in health care cost over the next five years from the Department of Defense to retirees. This meant a raise in TRICARE Prime from $520 a year to $820 Oct. 1 and a new cost to TRICARE for Life, which would be $135, plus doubling the cost of mail-order pharmacy brand named drugs and non-formulary prescriptions, with a proposal to raise the catastrophic cap

from $3,000 to $6,000. The raises, which would occur on Oct. 1 would just be the first of several that would, in five years, have retirees under 65 years old paying several thousand dollars per year for TRICARE Prime and as much as $475 per year for TRICARE for Life along with having to maintain Medicare A&B, which now cost about $98 per month.

The secretary of the Navy established the Secretary of the Navy Retiree Council to consider issues of significant importance to retirees, to facilitate interaction between Department of the Navy leadership and the Navy and Marine Corps retired community, and to facilitate participation in other aspects of the retired activities program.

The Army and Air Force have the same type of councils. The council may review the effectiveness of current programs and policies affecting retirees and may make recommendations concerning improvements to privileges, benefits, assistance to retirees, quality of life, and other related matters. The council noticed the Air Force Retiree Council did not meet last year and may not meet in 2012. The council provides a unique opportunity to get our issues forth directly to the secretariat of each service. We encourage retirees to become aware of their benefits and challenges of preventing them from eroding.

I encourage all retirees, family members, and widows to attend the town hall meeting held at Disabled American Veterans Hall, at 300 Sherwood Road, Jacksonville, July 21, at 10 a.m.

We will have three congressional legislative representatives there and the new naval hospital commanding officer.

Preparing for their 70-year anniversary was not an easy task for the volunteers who serve the oldest USO in the country. They needed the help of an extra hand or two … or 80.

For the past three weeks, Marines from Company C, 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, have gone to the USO of Jacksonville, N.C., to provide necessary beautification and renovation for the anniversary.

With tasks such as painting, mowing and planting flowers, the Marines accomplished a lot from the original state the USO was in to have it ready for this weekend.

“It helps tremendously that they’re here. I have tapped out my husband and my friends to help get

this place ready and it really helps that the Marines come here in the afternoons to do what they can,” said Marisa Reeder, the assistant director of the Jacksonville USO. USO volunteers attend all kinds of military-related events throughout the year to include homecomings, departures and family events to help support the military in every way possible.

For some of the Marines this was their first time doing community service since deploying to Afghanistan.

It had a good impact on the Marines to follow through and do more community service later in life.

“This is the first time I have ever done community service, and I have enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment a lot,” said Cpl. Kevin Mailloux, a squad leader with the unit.

“From what this place looked like

before we started to now, it’s leaps and bounds. It’s a cool thought to take a step back and say to yourself ‘I did that’ when everything is said and done.”

The staff members of the Jacksonville USO hope to have a big turn out with the upcoming anniversary. Tickets were distributed to all the services to get maximum participation.

“I don’t know how long I will be working here, but I’m honored to have the privilege of setting up for the 70th anniversary this year,” said Reeder. “We hope it will be a big turnout especially with how much effort these Marines have put in to this place the past few weeks, but I’m sure either way their efforts will be appreciated by us, the community and service members that come here in the future.”

t was a moment 26 years in the making when former Marine Dave English rounded the corner of the Montford Landing Road and took his final steps toward the Beirut Memorial, after running more than 600 miles over a five-day period, Saturday morning.

Greeted with cheers from supporters, a police escort and the roar of motorcycles honoring the completion of their journey, English and the rest of the Liberty Run Marines Group hoisted American and Marine Corps flags into the air as they reached their finish line.

For some, the run marked the end of a journey they took to honor their wounded brothers in arms. For others, it was a flashback to another run - a moment that could never be duplicated or explained.

In June 1985, English and a group of 17 Marines and three Corpsmen from 3rd Marine Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment set out on a similar trek, beginning at Camp Geiger and ending at Flag Plaza, Liberty State Park in New Jersey. Running through rain, wind and summertime heat, the original members of the Liberty Run Marines Group had no idea the impact their run, which was designed to raise money for the Statue of SEE RUN 11B

Crystal Coast anglers catch spring fishing fever

As I was taking a water temperature reading last week at Bogue Pier, I heard several anglers tell me they were seeing false albacore approaching the shoreline. Jim Lairson informed me that he saw some large false albacore jumping out of the water a few yards away from the end of Bogue Pier. We decided to keep an eye on the false albacore bite and began monitoring it closely.

Saturday morning, another angler was plugging for blues and Spanish mackerel when he caught sight of a large false albacore approaching the pier.

Using a green head and white body GotCha plug, a crew of anglers spent an hour and a half reeling in a large false albacore. It took a run down to the beach, some crafty maneuvering as they avoided the bouy’s floating in the water and

a conformation of the identity of the fish before Danny Glover lowered a small gaff fit for a big Spanish mackerel and hauled up a 21.75-pound blackfin tuna to the pier deck.

Pier owner Mike Stanley was as astonished by the blackfin tuna catch as the rest of us were and confirmed that this was a first for the pier, which has been in the Stanley family since the 1960s.

Since our exciting Saturday adventure trying to catch the blackfin tuna, I have heard many more nearshore sightings of blackfin tuna from local fishing boat guides and anglers.

While the untrained eye will often mistake these large tuna for false albacore, the catch has caused fishing fever to spread like wildfire among Crystal Coast anglers. Since blackfin tuna are a member of the unregulated tuna family, along with false albacore and Atlantic bonito, a recreational catch permit in not required.

With anglers out in full force, Bogue Pier continues to see a terrific fishing season. Sea mullet and puffers are still being brought over

the railings, along with bluefish, Spanish mackerel, pompano, gray and speckled trout, and even flounder. I’ve also heard reports of a few cobia being caught and released, as they are not yet large enough to keep. Anglers should remember that the minimum length for cobia is 33 inches.

The Atlantic bonito has finally made its arrival and good catches have been reported in areas like artificial reef 315 and artificial reef 320. Daybreak is best for bonito fishing and anglers have found that small metals attract most of the fish, when paired with soft plastic on a jig head.

The bonito are a nice size this year, with many in the six-pound range.

The reefs listed above, as well as areas like Keypost Rocks out of Bogue Inlet, are also showing promising catches of flounder, which are being jigged using Gulp! baits.

These same areas also boast sea bass and gray trout on the ocean floor, while Spanish and blues can be easily caught closer to the surface of the water.

Spanish mackerel have also been sighted along the beaches, along with large blues.

Recently, Bogue Inlet surf fishers were hauling in blues as quickly as they could cast out lines,

filling their coolers to the brim.

There is plenty of bottom-feeder fish along the surf, swimming alongside some puffers, sea mullet and black drum. While red drum have not been caught in the Bogue Inlet area, I have heard that some were found near Fort Macon.

There are also scattered reports of Hatteras blues. Late last week and on Saturday we saw plenty of large glass minnows in the surf around Bogue Inlet, so the Spanish, bluefish and blackfin tuna bait is around and plentiful. I just hope the recent cold and windy weather and dirty water doesn’t scattered them too much.

Offshore fishing is still holding up, with wahoo, gaffer dolphin, big yellowfin tuna, sailfish and plenty of blackfin tuna still biting without putting up too much of a hassle.

Anglers who fish between the Big Rock and Swansboro Hole areas will have the best luck catching the larger fish, if the past week is any indication of where the offshore bite is hottest.

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.

Force to be reckoned with Tennessee coach relinquishes throne after 38 years of classy coaching

It was a moment nobody at University of Tennessee could prepare for - the quiet, subdued announcement that after 38 years, women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt was stepping down and handing over the reins of Tennessee Women’s basketball head coach.

It’s difficult to fully digest the affect Summitt has had on Tennessee basketball – the effect she’s had on sports in general.

At first glance, the statistics are staggering. With 1,098 game wins, eight championship wins, and more than 38 seasons as head coach under her belt, Summitt stepping aside is not an easy pill to swallow.

However, underneath all the bright orange, the courtside spotlight and the visible passion for her team and game, Summitt was staring in her own battle against early on-set Alzheimer’s.

It was a fight that nobody who had ever heard of her was prepared to watch, and despite the knowl-

edge that she would one day no longer be able to lead her team, a fight that nobody was prepared to acknowledge.

And while it was no surprise to hear of Summitt’s official decision to step down, as the final goodbye was announced April 18 everybody’s main attention turned to how to best sum up Summitt’s career as head coach. While class and elegance are not words typically used to describe sports, they seem all too fitting in this situation. After all, she has handled every other situation in her career in the same manner. Why should her new position as head coach emeritus be any different?

Giving up a lifetime of coaching is no easy task, regardless of who you are. I am certain it was not an easy decision for Summitt to make, but her reining class and dignity showed itself yet again as she made the decision to step down, fully aware of the fact that she was not in a position to continue coaching her team. As David Climer of The Tennessean wrote in response to the news, Summitt acted in the best interest of her team, just as she has for the last 38 years.

While she has relinquished her throne and title to long-time assistant Holly Warlick, Summitt is not done with her ladies yet. As

long as her health permits, she will have the ability and freedom as head coach emeritus, to continue mentoring and working with the athletes on the team. More student athletes will surely learn and grow under her guidance.

Under restrictions in the NCAA rules, Summit will be able to attend and watch practice, assist with game plans and interact with players, but may not do any official coaching. During games, she may communicate with Warlick and the assistant coaching staff, but she must stay behind the bench.

In addition, as her condition allows, she will be able to communicate with prospective players and attend official visits that take place within a 30-mile radius of the University of Tennessee campus.

Her new position also helps to soften the blow to the multitudes of players and students she inflicted some order of inspiration on during her career span of nearly four decades. By not completely leaving the program she built, her longliving legacy will continue on for many years to come.

A Goliath in coaching and a force of nature both on and off the court, Summitt’s energy ignited players and sent them crackling onto the court with a spark and SEE SUMMITT 10B

here is something about a day at the ballpark that brings out the child in everyone.

Maybe it’s the smell of the freshly cut grass, the sound of the first pitch hitting the catcher’s mit or the itching desire that every athlete has to dig their toe into the white chalk on the baseline and be the first to leave a mark on the pristine field.

Whatever the reason, spring sports bring families and friends together for fun-filled days under the bright sunshine, cheering on their favorite teams.

The youth sports program aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune kicked their spring sports program into high gear with baseball and softball opening day at Tarawa Terrace baseball complex aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area, Saturday. With more than three dozen baseball and softball teams, at least 500 young athletes and approximately 120 coaches and parent volunteers, the first pitches were thrown under Carolina blue skies while fans cheered from

the sidelines.

The large spring sports program, which is expanded to include spring golfers, is a highly anticipated and carefully planned event, led by Chris Williams, youth sports coordinator. Williams and his team of assistants carefully place each participant into the proper age category and onto a team in a precarious balancing act before the start of the pre-season practices.

“The kids started practicing March 13 and had about five weeks of practice time before we began scheduling competitive games,” said Williams. “We worked around some infield reconstruction problems that misplaced us a few times, but everyone was able to get in a few good practices before the season started.”

The carefully laid out season began Saturday and will carry on until June 16, when the older leagues will enter their end-of-season tournament brackets. With 14 T-ball teams, 11 7 to 9-year-old baseball teams, seven 10 to 12-year-old baseball teams and three 13 to 15year-old baseball teams, Saturday games begin early and last throughout the day. A total of eight 7 to 9 and 10 to 12-year-

old softball teams also square off each Saturday, with everybody converging onto the baseball and softball fields at Tarawa Terrace. The design of the spring schedule helps keep the program consistent.

“We waited until after Easter and spring break to start games, so that we don’t have a whole bunch of off-weeks,” explained Williams. “We will have Memorial Weekend off, but other than that, we stick to a pretty good schedule.”

Of course, sticking to a schedule can be easier said than done, especially where Mother Nature is concerned. Unlike winter sports, which are played indoors, baseball, softball and golf all take place outside and are at the mercy of the weather.

While there has not been much need to reschedule

in previous years, a contingency plan is in place should Mother Nature decide to foil a day at the ballpark.

“We’ve been very fortunate, recently, in not having to reschedule games because of weather, but if we do have to reschedule, we do our best to work games into the week,” said Williams.

“Obviously, school and academics come first and we don’t want to intrude on studies, so we have to work around that.”

Working with 500 young athletes takes a dedicated team of coaches and parent volunteers, and Williams said the youth sports program has “been blessed with both.”

With the help of the Single Marine Program and constant support from parents of the young athletes, a barrage of parents and guardians

are always on hand to help during practices and at games.

“The Single Marine Program has really been instrumental in keeping this program alive, from a coaching aspect,” said Williams. “They give up their time and come help these kids learn and have fun. There is no way we could make spring sports the success it is without them.”

Having coaches that are not parents, in addition to the parent volunteers and coaches that give of their time and talents during the spring sports season, gives young athletes another person to look up to.

Williams believes it is important to provide additional role models outside of the home for kids to immolate, and says the Single Marine Program provides exactly that.

The young coaches and volunteers from the SMP are also affected by the time spent on the field or links with the kids they coach. Since many are a long ways from home, being out in the community helps instill a sense of home and family in the Marines who assist with the program.

“We like to see the kids watching them and learning from them, but we also like to see these young Marines having a desire to volunteer and get involved in the community,” explained Williams. “I think it’s equally important for them because it provides them with a piece of home and gives them the chance to stay active and interact with families.”

The dark figure rises like a submarine, breaking the water’s surface and engulfs the lure, but finds itself fighting a losing battle against a skilled angler. The final score solidifies the winner. Fisherman 1, fish 0.

Service members and patrons who want to experience a similar moment had the opportunity to learn the tricks of the trade during the fly-fishing class, hosted at Marine Corps Community Services’ Outdoor Adventures Offices, located at the Gottschalk Marina aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, April 19.

“Fly-fishing is taking fishing to the next level,”

said Lee Parsons, the class instructor for the fly-fishing workshop. “It’s being able to create something with your own two hands and getting a fish to bite it. And it’s harder than fishing with conventional spinning gear or live tackle. This class is basic fly-fishing, how to get started and what you need to do it.”

Parsons taught participants about the different types of lines, rods and lures used, and when and how to use them.

Fly fishermen use floating fly lines that float on the water, intermediate lines that stay below the surface or lead lines that sink. The capabilities and techniques used in fly-fishing are slightly different from conventional fishing.

“In fly-fishing, the line carries the fly,” said Parsons. “And in conventional fishing, the lure carries the line. It’s a matter of learning how to cast and knowing what size rod you need. One of the most challenging things about fly-fishing is being

An accurate cast can help.”

During the class a participant said he was unsure of how well he’d be able to fly fish because he wasn’t good at “regular” fishing.

“You don’t have to be good at regular fishing to

be good at fly-fishing,” replied Parsons. “Just have fun with it.”

After the classroom session, participants gathered outside to practice their casting. Some seemed confident and others looked unsure.

Hand-fishers practice grabbling technique JAMIE CAMERON

Special to the Globe

Depending on where you live, it is called noodling, grabbling or graveling, but in layman’s terms, it’s hand-fishing, pure and simple.

Perhaps you are among the millions of viewers who turned the 2001 documentary “Okie Noodling” by director Bradley Beesley into a cult-classic that remains one of the most-popular features ever aired by the Public Broadcast Service.

The film put a spotlight on the mysterious world of hand-fishing for giant catfish and the colorful characters who practice it in Oklahoma.

Like many, I was fascinated by “Okie Noodling,” but I had a hard time wrapping my rod-and-reel brain around the idea of sticking my hand into the muddy, underwater lair of a giant flathead catfish with the idea of wrestling it out in hand-to-fin combat.

That changed several years ago when I greeted my old friend, Lincoln Sadler, at a social gathering and noted his right hand and forearm were a sickly shade of purple and appeared as though they had been run through a cheese grater.

When I asked him what had caused the wound, Sadler smiled and with a twinkle in his eye replied, “Grabblin’ man.”

Now that I knew an honest-to-goodness handfisherman and listened to his tales of triumph of man over fish, I became obsessed with the idea of offering up my own pink flesh in the name of grabbling glory — fingers be damned.

It took a while to clear my schedule, but eventually I made the trek to Sadler’s catfishing grounds, west of Fayetteville, N.C. in the slow and often muddy waters of the Great Pee Dee River.

I would be more specific with the location, but I fear the physical repercussions that would follow if Sadler and his dedicated crew of hand-fishermen ever saw their honey hole identified in print. Sadly, Mother Nature conspired against us with heavy rains in the days leading up to our adventure. By the time we reached the banks of the river, the Pee Dee was near flood stage and the rocks under which the great catfish slept lay several feet under the roiling water.

The trip was a failure, but I vowed to return one day to try my hand.

It all came together this past weekend.

For years, Sadler has offered a guided noodling trip on the Pee Dee as a prize in the North Carolina Chapter of the Wildlife Society’s annual raffle fund-raiser. Imagine my joy when my father, Tom Cameron, won the fishing trip this year. I shamelessly weaseled my way into joining the party and even forced my good friend Brian Degan upon them as well.

Our tutorial didn’t start until we had reached the river after a two-mile bike ride on a challenging trail down the red clay bluffs that plunge to the shoreline. Wet weather in the previous week had the Pee Dee running eightinches above normal, but still placid enough to wade and catch catfish.

When our crew of six grabblers entered the water, we did so with nothing more that a length of string and some sticks Sadler had cut from the shoreline vegetation.

It was without doubt the most unprepared I have ever felt at the start of a fishing trip. When I finally got up the nerve to ask one of the experts for

some last-minute advice, Rupert Medford simply shrugged and smiled impishly. “I don’t know what to tell you man. You just go down there and do what you have to do.”

Do what I have to do?

How was that going to help me in the face (a jaws) of an angry flathead that could weigh as much as half as I do? I would soon find out.

IN E .

D MA U.S.A E TH

Over the years, Sadler and his grabbling buddies have become quite intimate with the section of river they fish. Perhaps one in 50 of the hundreds of submerged and halfsubmerged rocks before us had the proper habitat to attract catfish.

For the most part, catfish are nocturnal, cruising the river at night and using their superior

sense of smell to find things like freshwater clams, crayfish and fish to eat. During the heat of the day, they lay up under large rocks where they feel protected.

Our hand-fishing adventure started at a nondescript rock the size of a Smart Car. Here, the technique was finally revealed to the newbies: While the designated

diver goes down to the bottom, everyone stands around the rock and blocks all entrances to the catfish’s lair with their feet but one. The grabbler sticks his hand into the hole where the fish is and tries to get it to bite him. That’s right, tries to get the fish to bite him. When the fish has a hold of you, you turn the tables, grab him by the

lips and haul him out to the surface.

Our first rock did indeed have a catfish and the six of us took turns going down and acting as bait. After 10 minutes and many attempts, it was Degan who finally got the catfish to strike.

He described the experience as if his hand SEE GRABBLING 11B

Runners make their way down the Wallace Creek trail during the first Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 5K aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Friday.

Runners step up against sexual assault JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

Wallace Creek nature trail was transformed into a sea of teal as more than 200 men and women joined together to take a stand against sexual assault in the first Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 5K aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Friday.

Donning shirts, hats and shorts in a wide variety of shades of blue and teal, runners converged on the Wallace Creek nature trail to step up, fight back and support victims of sexual assault.

Since April is sexual assault awareness month, the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program aboard MCB Camp Lejeune started searching for a way to promote their programs and awareness of sexual assault, bringing to light a problem that is still considered taboo in many cultures.

“Sexual assault is still one of the highest unreported crimes that exists today,” said Marie Brodie, SAPR program manager. “We wanted to get the word out in the community that we care and that we want to help. SAPR is here for a reason and we want our presence in the community to be known.”

After some planning, Brodie and her team decided that a 5K would be a good fit and would provide a

very public way to let victims of sexual assault see the community come together in support. She contacted the Semper Fit division of Marine Corps Community Services and within days, the first SAPR 5K was being promoted throughout the base community.

“In such an active community, a 5K seemed like a good idea, since we have so many people who run every day,” said Brodie. “We talked to Semper Fit about it and they did a fantastic job planning and executing the 5K.” With approximately 250 people in attendance, all clad in teal to show their support, the 5K began and ended on the nature trail. After a quick warm-up with the mobile training unit, runners took their place at the starting line, eager to start. As they waited for the official beginning of the race, they listened to a pep talk reminding them of the real reason for the 5K. “Your presence here today signifies that we will not tolerate sexual assault,” one of the event organizers told runners over a loud speaker.

“We will take a stand and say that it is wrong and we are here to support those who have lived through it.”

As the race began, the sea of teal started to make its way down the nature trail. Participants laughed and talked as they ran, each with their own reason for attending the SAPR 5K. While the participants ran the race course,

volunteers unloaded bottles of water and free prizes. When thee h he first runner crossed the finish line, he was greeted with cheers, err. handshakes and water.

As more runners apin ne, proached the finish line, d the t their broad grins told he story that they knew tthe SAPR 5K was about more than just a run.

“The thing we tried to promote the most with this 5K was that there is no shame in seeking help after sexual assault,” said Brodie, who ran the race to support thosee she works with on a daily basis. “We havee d civilian advocates and uniformed advocates d who want to help and will not judge.

“One of the best things about this areaa is that anybody who comes forward as a victim of sexual assault has no need to be concerned,” continued Brodie.

“They will have full support from their Photo by Jessie Heath chain of command and we will be with Karen Voorhies (center) runs with Nikole Hilton (right) during the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 5K along Wallace them to help and support them every Creek nature trail aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Friday.

The All-Marine Boxing Team’s list of achievements is growing by the minute and gaining a lot of attention. They’ve earned it. They spend each day honing their skills and recently conquered the Army in the Armed Forces championship.

On April 19 the commandant and sergeant major of the Marine Corps, Gen. James Amos and Sgt. Maj. Michael Barrett, stopped by to congratulate the group in person. The team and members of their command spent some time with the commandant in a meet and greet at the Area 3 Gym, the home of the All-Marine Corps Boxing Team. While there, Amos took the time to speak to each member of the team, congratulating them oneon-one.

“It was like meeting the president,” said Lance Cpl. Freddy Rosado, a lightweight boxer with the team. “It’s a big deal.”

Lance Cpl. Curtis Iverson, an undefeated heavyweight boxer, said he felt nervous when meeting the commandant.

“I had butterflies,” said Iverson. “It was like before a boxing match. It

was amazing seeing him and just talking to him, just leveling with him. He is a great guy and I was honored to meet him and the sergeant major. I’m pretty sure that’s not an experience everybody gets.

It was nice. I had my team around and everybody was supporting us.”

It was good to get recognition, said Rosado, who was 13 years old when he started boxing. When he joined the Marine Corps he became a part of 8th Engineer Support Battalion, a unit which he describes as very fitness and Marine Corps Martial Arts Program oriented.

Rosado found himself knocking out whoever they put against him. His unit encouraged him to try out for the team. Since then, he’s won matches in Texas, North Carolina and has defeated the Royal Marines in the United Kingdom.

“I’m just getting ready,” Rosado added. “This is the best feeling in the world.

Not only do I get to serve my country, I get to do the thing I love the most, and that’s boxing. I’m grateful for everything the Marine Corps has given me and I hope that they continue (the program).”

While the team is currently riding the waves of success, with one of their

own contending for a spot at the Olympics, that does not mean they are letting their guard down.

“We won the (Armed Forces Boxing Tournament) for the first time in 21 years,” said Jesse Ravelo, the team’s coach.

“That was easy. The hard part is defending it. We’ve got a lot of tournaments going on this year and we’re going to defend our territory.”

The Marines understand that their individual accomplishments and matches reflect on them as a group.

“Cumulatively, it was everybody as one team,” said Chuck Rose, the section head and director of Marine Corps sports. “My background is baseball and baseball is a team sport made up of individual accomplishments. Boxing is very similar. It’s a team sport made up of individual boxers who go out and do their part and compete.”

The boxers also know that through their hard work and accomplishments reflects on the greater Marine Corps.

“That effort, that teamwork, that professionalism, that Marine Corps pride and tradition is what’s going to take you not only from (recent victories) but to higher goals,” said Rose.

Local racquet club serves up Military Appreciation Day in remodeled facilities JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

As the weather warms and the grass grows green, Ole Porte Racquet Club in Swansboro, North Carolina, is looking for new ways to show the military community their gratitude. What used to be White Oak Racquet Club spent the winter undergoing renovations and upgrades, and is now prepared to welcome back its club members and some very important visitors.

Ole Porte Racquet Club will host its first Military Appreciation Day, Sunday. All Department of Defense identification cardholders will be invited to use the club’s facilities free of charge for the day.

For Ole Porte Racquet Club Director of Tennis, Jim Sheehan, this military appreciation day has been a long time in the making.

“A lot of our members here at the club have connections and ties to the local military community (aboard Marine Corps Base) Camp Lejeune,” said Sheehan. “Swansboro and the surrounding communities are really dependent on our service members and their families to keep the economy going. It’s just time we give something back to those who have given us so much.”

Sheehan, who has seen Ole Porte Racquet Club

come full circle during its renovations, hopes to cater the club to the young and active patrons aboard MCB Camp Lejeune with the improvements and upgrades made to the facilities.

With six clay courts, which are softer and gentler on the body, four of which are lighted to allow for after-dusk play, the Ole Porte Racquet Club will provide base patrons with another outlet for tennis and will give them the opportunity to play with some of Eastern North Carolina’s most competitive tennis players.

“We have some competitive players here at our club,” said Sheehan.

“We have seven league teams right now and they compete against other clubs around Eastern North Carolina.”

Though a small club, the Ole Porte Racquet Club is already host to a number of service members and their families who enjoy the facilities.

Nestled away from traffic and noise, the club’s new facilities have not been used by the masses yet, allowing for Military Appreciation Day to provide patrons with the opportunity to play on pristine tennis courses.

“This is something we are excited about offering because it will give base (patrons) the chance to see what we want to offer them, for all they have

SAPR FROM 6B step of the way.”

The warm weather and bright sun added to the excitement of the SAPR 5K, drawing people out to enjoy the day and get some sunshine in a healthy, active manner. Many of the participants at the SAPR 5K had experience with sexual assault, as victims or friends and family of victims.

“Everybody who came out had a story to share and it was nice to see people enjoying time together and supporting each other and our program,” said Brodie. “I saw one group with matching shirts and I loved that they went the extra mile to do that.”

With shirts reading phrases like, “Rape is a crisis. Talking about it isn’t,” and “Take a step toward ending sexual

We’re just looking to offer this place to service members and their families.”

For interested military personnel, Sheehan suggests calling ahead to make reservations so he

The event was such a success that Brodie says she is already planning to hold another one next April, with hopes for an even better turnout.

“We heard nothing but positive feedback from (patrons) and we will be doing this again without a doubt,” said Brodie. “I’m hoping that next year, we can run down Holcomb Boulevard and that all the traffic that drives up and down the road will see. That would be a great way to spread the word even farther and get others involved.”

can assure that a court is prepared for service members who want to take advantage of Military Appreciation Day. “We don’t want them to come and have to wait for something to become available, but if they call ahead of time and let us know what time they want to come and how long they want to play, we can make sure we have a court prepared and

we can suit their needs,” said Sheehan.

In addition to free play and use of club amenities during Military Appreciation Day, Sheehan hopes the service members and their families will also have the opportunity to meet club personnel.

“We have two certified instructors on site who can offer instruction and guidance for athletes who are playing,” said Shee-

YOUTH FROM 3B stay active and interact with families.”

While youth sports serves as the backdrop to fostering coach-player relationships, it also presses the development of relationships between the young athletes who step onto the field and pick up a club.

“We want these kids to have fun and learn something, but more importantly, the program is about quality of life,” said Williams.

Building a program that is focused on quality speaks for itself. With such large numbers of athletes, coaches and parent volunteers, the spring sports program has become known as a tight-knit, affordable and quality option for base patrons seeking an athletic outlet for their children.

While Williams understands that some children would rather play in a more competitive atmosphere, he tries to make sure the quality of the spring sports program is up to par. The golf program has a running partnership with the First Tee of Brunswick County, a program that mixes the complex game of golf with character building.

“The First Tee program helps us teach character education to our golfers

han. “Hopefully, people will take advantage of that as well.”

Military Appreciation Day at the Ole Porte Racquet Club will begin at 9 a.m. and last until 5 p.m., April 29.

and is really good for our young golfers,” said Williams. “They teach a lot about character using the game of golf and they talk about citizenship.

“Rick Kunkle, who is our professional golf guy at Paradise Point, also helps the golf program stay up and running,” added Williams. “He’s there to help the coaches and the kids, and he does a lot of teaching and assisting for our young athletes and their coaches.”

As Williams and his youth athletes prepare for many Saturdays at the ballpark, he is eager to see what the season holds. With so many patrons involved in the program, youth sports teams are currently filled to the brim, but applications are still being accepted and kept on file.

“We can still sign people up on a availability basis,” said Williams.

“So, for anybody who is interested, a phone call or coming by our office will let us know and we can see if we have anything available. If we do, we will do our best to place more kids into the program and give them the experience.”

SUMMITT FROM 2B dedication that changed the way people looked at not only the Tennessee women’s basketball team, but the game of basketball in general.

She stepped onto the University of Tennessee courts with an $8,900 annual salary in 1974 and leaves with a $1.5 million package. She stepped up to captain a sinking ship and turned it into one of the most well-known programs in the college basketball spectrum, working unceasingly to hold it at the high standard she knew she had every right to expect.

Now that she has made herself and the University of Tennessee basketball team a household name, Summitt has earned the right to handle her situation the way she wants to.

Summitt has earned respect amongst her supporters and her critics. She has remained classy in the face of the highlights and low points that accompany every long-winded career, and she has proven herself to be a pioneer amongst strong, able-bodied women in sports.

Capable, popular and driven now describe Summitt as she stares down the face of Alzheimer’s. For those who have watched her coach and lead, there is no doubt that she will continue to be the same woman she has always been - a force to be reckoned with.

And while this game is new and different, Summitt will undoubtedly approach it with the same skill and confidence that she has become known for.

As for the Tennessee basketball team, the challenges in adjusting to a new coach will not go unnoticed or undocumented, but I do not foresee much trouble for the Lady Volunteer’s. After all, the mountain they have to climb will not be to adjust to an entirely new coaching staff, but rather making the necessary adjustments to a new season.

The legend of Pat Summitt will not loom over Warlick like a threatening thundercloud, ready to strike at any moment.

No, the legend will be right beside her, guiding her and assisting in a quiet and steady manner, for as many days as the fate’s allow.

Company G seizes victory MCT Bn – East Combat Instructors Competition PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Combat instructors with Companies F, G, H, I and K, Marine Combat Training Battalion, School of Infantry – East held their third annual Combat Instructors’ Competition aboard Camp Geiger and Devil Dog, recently.

Last year’s reigning champions, Company G, were victorious yet again.

Five instructors representing each company participated in the twoday competition, which featured scored events such as hand grenade employment, conditioning movement, land navigation, intermediate combat marksmanship night and day fire, weapons disassembly and assembly, ICM unknown distance fire, ICM unknown distance stress shoot and a logistics carry and movement exercise.

“It was honestly one

of the hardest things I’ve ever done,” said Sgt. Tyler D. Swanson, a combat instructor with MCT Battalion. “The hike was my biggest challenge because of the weight of the packs and distance of the movements. It was tough, but it was good.”

Many of the event were physically demanding but the competition also included a written test derived from the knowledge that MCT students are taught. The competition is tweaked each year, but the events and exercises met the same physically and mentally challenging standards as the previous competitions.

“Every year is different,” said Master Sgt. Josue S. Santoyo, the chief instructor for MCT Battalion. “It all depends on who is organizing it.

One day we may use the obstacle or endurance course. The instructors were pretty worn out. It was challenging and most of them underestimated

the weather, but the competition went well. It gives them the bragging rights. A lot of the companies say they’re better than the other, but this competition is a way for them to prove themselves and have fun.”

The instructors joked, laughed, and made fun of each other during the event, but they were always there to provide motivation when one of their team members struggled.

“A lot of us were hurting here and there, but none of us quit,” said Swanson. “That mental toughness is what I got from this. I saw the things I lacked in, so I’ll put my mindset on that to better myself.”

The competition tested the fortitude and hardiness of the instructors, who originate from different military occupational specialties, but all of them completed the course. Many of them gained an experience to take note of and

GRABBLING FROM 5B was sucked into a vacuum and then closed in a car door. Undeterred, Degan reached in with his other hand to get a secure grip and then kicked out to the surface. Now Degan is a pretty big guy — 6-foot-1 or 2, 190 pounds and fearless — but when he broke the surface, the fish rolled violently and broke his hold as though he were a child. I remember thinking as I watched the fish roll past and swim to freedom, “That is the biggest catfish I have ever seen … by far.” If I had to guess based on pictures of weighed fish, I’d put it around 40-50 pounds. Degan hasn’t slept for a week.

We waded the river and swam in places as we moved from rock to rock, trying our luck. Several fish were lost, but a few smallish ones were caught, including a 5-pound blue catfish that I noodled out of a long narrow hole that didn’t offer the fish much chance for escape. Our biggest fish of the day, a 7- or 8-pound flathead, was caught by Brent Mills and deservedly so. Mills made no show of false bravery before his first dive and freely-admitted he was suffering from an adrenaline overdose. By the end of the day, however, he grabbled that catfish like a pro and I have no doubt he’ll go back to the Pee Dee before long to try it again — as will I. Now that I’ve been bitten by this grabbling bug (both figuratively and literally) I may never pick up the rod and reel again.

RUN FROM 1B Liberty Restoration Project, would have years later. All they knew was that they had time to kill and in English’s words, “Marines will do anything to impress a lady.”

When planning the second run, English met with the Jersey City Police Marines and drew out a carefully detailed map of the route, beginning at the Purple Heart Memorial in Jersey City and ending at the Beirut Memorial in Jacksonville.

The second run, it was decided, would raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project and the Wounded Warrior regiment to help support service men and women injured in the line of duty. Named the Honor Courage Commitment Run, after the Marine Corps core values, it would culminate on the same week as the anniversary of the Beirut bombing, which had a profound impact on the lives of the original Liberty Run Marines Group.

For the original members of the LRMG, the experience of a second run was both exciting and emotional. Tim Dean and Robert Capelli, who both ran the first route with English, waited impatiently at the Beirut Memorial to see the second run come to an end.

“It’s hard to explain how it feels to see something you did so long ago happen again,” said Dean, who did not participate in the second run since his son was returning from Afghanistan during the midst of it. “We started our first run here and now it has come full circle. It only took us 26 years.”

Capelli nodded in agreement, keeping his eyes on the flags in the hands of the runners.

“The first group - we were all Marines during Beirut. We ran as a symbol of America. This group is bringing it back home to us, now.”

Watching the end of the run, it was impossible to not feel nostalgic, said Capelli.

“There were two photos they carried - those were our brothers who ran the first time,” explained Capelli. “They’ve both passed on, but they finished this second run. To see these runners carrying those photos as they finished the run - there are no words for how that felt.”

As they watched the second generation of the Liberty Run Marines Group cross the finish line, Capelli, Dean and other supporters cheered, clapped and snapped photos. The runners, with their arms slung around each other’s shoul-

ders, gathered together in the parking lot for one last huddle to mark the official end of their journey. When they broke apart, the reality of what they had accomplished hit home.

“After a couple of days, we were tired and our knees hurt,” said James Brower, who ran with the Liberty Run Marines Group. “But, coming around the corner and seeing everyone waiting for us gave us the push we needed to keep going.

And, coming around the corner and seeing the support that was waiting for us kind of made it hit home that we had really accomplished something big. We were a part of something important.”

In honor of the wounded warriors the runners represented and in memory of the lives lost as a result of the Beirut Bombing, a wreath-laying ceremony took place immediately after the run.

The wreath-laying ceremony was one more reminder of the scale of the accomplishment that awaited the runners at the end of the road.

“The Beirut bombing isn’t a very well-known event,” explained Brower.

“There’s a lot more to the story than people think and so many more sacrifices were made than what people realize.”

Retired Sgt. Maj. Ihor Sywanyk spoke on the Beirut bombing and accomplishment of the Honor Courage Commitment Run during the wreathlaying ceremony.

“There are four types of people in this world. Rich, average, poor and volunteers,” said Sywanyk. “Now, what you saw running today - those were the volunteers. They ran to represent everybody who have volunteered their life between the bombing of Beirut and this very moment.

“They speak with their feet for all those who have lost their voice,” continued Sywanyk.

When the wreath-laying ceremony was complete, the memories made, stories shared and bonds strengthened had left an obvious impact. As the two generations of runners came together for the last time to recognize and remember their brothers in arms, hands tightly grasping American and Marine Corps flags, there was only one thing left to say.

“Alright,” said Brower. “Let’s go.

Let’s do it again.”

Firefighters from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Fort Bragg run through a simulated fuel fire on a mock C-120 aircraft during a training exercise recently aboard Fort Bragg.

LANCE CPL. SCOTT W. WHITING Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

T

he phrase “practice makes perfect” can be applied to many different aspects of life, whether it be athletic, academic or occupational.

The same can be said about extinguishing fires, which is why firefighters from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune conducted a training exercise

with firefighters aboard Fort Bragg recently.

The goal of the exercise was to receive training and certification in airport rescue firefighting. Two fire engines were used to extinguish a C-120 mock simulator aircraft.

The firefighters practiced many different scenarios during the four-day training including extinguishing fuel fires, in which the fuel escapes the tanks and causes a fire underneath and around the aircraft. They practiced putting out fires in the engines on the

wings of the aircraft, and the firefighters also practiced putting out landing-gear fires.

Another exercise was an auxiliary power unit fire, or an APU fire. The firefighters go inside an aircraft for this exercise and extinguish it. They also practiced putting out passenger fires on the inside of the aircraft.

The last exercise they simulated was a cargo fire which focused on the rear of the aircraft.

“This was the first time that Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune have cooperated and worked together to conduct joint training,”

said Glenn Zurek, assistant fire chief of training and prevention, Security and Emergency Services, MCB Camp Lejeune. “The plan is to, in the future, go and continue this type of training because it is very specific to what occurs aboard an airfield and it gives firefighters specific training that they need to go in combat or mitigate these types of instances.”

The two different installations working together gave each the opportunity to see how both execute their plans and get the job done. “(Fort Bragg) has fixed-wing

aircraft come in to Pope Air Force Base all the time, so that’s something that they deal with on a daily basis,” Zurek added.

“Here, we have the rotary type aircraft like helicopters which are a different type of firefighting, to an extent, with a different type of aircraft.”

The two installations are looking forward to being able to conduct training exercises in the future together.

Zurek said that it gives an insight to both departments as far as how the mission is being accomplished between the branches.

The first Culinary Team of the Quarter event of the year drew in base officials, new visitors and food fans alike, at the Wallace Creek Mess Hall, April 17.

Every quarter, a new competition is held to determine which civilian or Marine Corps team has the best culinary skills, based on a themed menu that they create themselves.

This particular event called for the teams to incorporate cauliflower, chicken and, or turkey into their menu, said Charles James, area general manager with Sodexo.

“This was the first competition for this fiscal year and it was definitely successful,” said James. “We have three more events to go, and then we have the Battle of the Bases event.”

A panel of four judges is derived from esteemed local

experts in the culinary field. Whether service members or civilians, these people judge each of the teams’ menu items to determine each quarters’ winner.

“It was great, all the food was good,” said Geralynn Nicholas, operations manager for a local Golden Corral.

“Of course there are a lot distinctions in everyone’s pallet and flavor but the winners definitely deserved to win.

They did an awesome job.”

Nicholas said that competition is key to bringing innovation and excitement even in the culinary field.

“It keeps people with an open mind and makes them aware of changing flavors and tastes,” said Nicholas. “It’s all about what attracts people (the most) because people have to eat.”

Unit leaders gathered at the base theater aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, April 10, to learn about the benefits and process to transfer their wounded, ill, or injured Marines to Wounded Warrior Battalion-East.

“There’s a lot of mythology out there and we want to clear it up,” said Lt. Col. Nicholas Davis, the commanding officer of WWBn-E, who conducted the presentation with Sgt. Maj. Benjamin Pangborn, the battalion’s sergeant major.

The two leaders discussed what is available at the battalion, including everything from medical needs, family support, recreation and athletics. “(WWBn-E) is able to provide a high quality of care to wounded, ill and injured Marines across the mind, body and spirit continuum,” said Maj. Paul Greenberg, the executive officer of WWBn-E. “We have resources such as recovery care coordinators, trained section leaders and an excellent relationship with Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune to specifically address issues unique to wounded, ill and injured service members.”

The best candidates for WWBn-E are service members who have three or more medical appointments per week, where the command cannot support transportation, and Marines who cannot function at their command due to their injury or illness. Service members who require 90 or more days of medical treatment or rehabilitation are also good candidates, said Greenberg.

“Regardless of how the Marine was wounded or injured, the commanders should look to WWBn-E as an asset aboard Camp Lejeune,” said Greenberg. “There is no reason why a wounded or injured Marine should remain with their unit if the unit cannot support that Marine’s medical and nonmedical requirements.”

No two injuries are alike, that is why the Marines of WWBn-E are looked at in a case-by-case basis. While there the Marines prepare for life after their recovery.

Despite being severely wounded, some return to operational forces on a permanent limited duty basis as detailed in Marine Administrative Message 228/06.

However, due to the complex nature of injuries seen at the battalion, many Marines transition out of the Marine Corps.

“We provide continuous leadership to the wounded, ill and injured Marines and their families as they transition back to the operating forces (or the civilian world),” said Davis.

There are some things that would prevent a Marine from being accepted into WWBn-E. If a line-of-duty investigation is required for the Marine’s injury, the SEE WWBN-E 2C

Luncheon celebrates teaching excellence LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The Marine Corps relies upon the experiences and expertise of its instructors to pass on their vital knowledge to each successive generation of Marines. In recognition of their accomplishments in that endeavor, instructors from several of the Marine Corps’ schools on the East Coast gathered in the ballroom of Jacksonville’s USO for the annual Instructor of the Year Awards Luncheon, April 19.

Supported by the efforts of Mainstreet, a civic organization made up of 98 businesses from the Jacksonville and Wilmington areas that regularly organizes events to honor service members, 12 of the Marine Corps’ Instructor of the Year awardees were singled out for their teaching excellence and dined at the USO’s head table.

“You have to realize how important it is, no matter how busy we get, to take time out of our schedules and make sure that the individuals that deserve that recognition are getting it because someday, they may not be here,” said John Reed, the executive director of Mainstreet. “I know that a lot more Marines and sailors might not

have come home if wasn’t for their training.”

The instructors came from schools such as combat service support and infantry training, as well as field medical training and special operations. Among those honored were Gunnery Sgt. Collen M. Stewart, Staff Sgt. Aundrea M. English, Staff Sgt. Dustin S. Sammons, Gunnery Sgt. Eric T. Jackson Sr., Cpl. Jeremiah C. Reilly, Petty Officer 1st Class Stanley D. Ponder, Staff Sgt. Corbin L. Choquette, Staff Sgt. Phillip B. Castro, Staff Sgt. Joshua R. Litton, Gunnery Sgt. Kenneth L. Reynolds, Staff Sgt. Joseph L. Bivins and Staff Sgt. James A White.

“Honor, courage and commitment are not strange terms or ideas to people in this room,” said Col. James F. Glynn, commanding officer for the Special Operations School, Marine Corps Special Operations Command, and the guest speaker for the event. “They’re part of our ethos and core values.

We seek leaders and we emphasize leadership. It’s the thing we reward the most in Marine and sailors.”

Great instructors must embody the traits they seek to instill in their students, said Glynn. The students that have the privilege to lead will turn to their example as

a measure for their own behavior and expectations.

“Whether or not you recognize it, you are what right looks like to that student,” said Glynn. “The reason that you are here today is because you recognized a standard and held yourself accountable to it. That is recognized not only by those that chose to nominate you for this award but by those with whom you work and those with whom you lead.”

Glynn reminded the crowd that each one of them had an instructor at some point in their lives who helped them get to where they are today.

As Marines and sailors, he said, there is always the call to teach and to lead.

Each instructor competed with their professional peers to win their respective Instructor of the Year awards, while continuing to support the operational goals of their individual schools. Shortly after the ceremony, the room cleared and the instructors headed back to their respective duties, a reminder that their responsibilities remained with their students.

“At the moment, these (service members) happened to be thrust into a role as an instructor, where it’s what they do and who they are regarded as,” said Glynn.

“Your impact is likely more lasting than you or I know.”

Glynn, commanding officer for the Special Operations School, Marine Corps Special Operations Command, and the guest speaker for the event, thanked each of the instructors for their contributions to education in the Marine Corps.

WWBN-E FROM 1C command must complete the investigation before transfer. If a Marine’s medical board has begun they may not be a good candidate for the battalion or if the Marine has legal issues that have yet to be adjudicated, the issues must be resolved before referral is initiated.

In order to refer a Marine to WWBn-E, a commander must complete a short referral package available for download at woundedwarriorregiment.org/WWBNEast/ units_east and click on “Referral Procedures.” For more information, call 450-5798.

They made shrimp bruschetta, with baby arugula and red cream sauce for the appetizer; chicken caprese with a creamy cauliflower risotto and roasted asparagus for the entrée; and an Italian sweet cream tiramisu.

“It feels good,” said Sgt. Dustin Lewis, with 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. “The best experience for me was being able to help the younger Marines, getting them involved and letting them take control. I let him lead everything that had to happen in the galley and grow as an individual.”

Cpl. Shawn Downing, Lewis’ partner, said they chose their menu based on a recent visit they had to Italy.

“We both visited Italy before and spent about five days there,” said Downing. “Both of us are very passionate about cooking and we like Italian food, so we wanted to take people through a tour of what we experienced there and incorporate that into food.”

In second place, Violeta Smith and Marilyn Reyes representing Mess Hall BB 125, concocted their Asian Cuisine menu. They served up pork lumpia; chicken afritada, which is a chicken stew simmered with spices and tomato sauce; a Filipino favorite panat bihon, which is fried rice and noodles, chop suey; and a yummy Filipino fruit salad called buko.

Now, the team including Lewis and Downing are in the running to compete against other culinary competitors at the Battle of the Bases at the end of the year.

If there is one thing Marines know how to do well, it’s how to clean. Many Marines across Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune spent the week of April 16-20 cleaning up the area during different planned events in recognition of Earth Day. As part of the week’s events, a clean-up of the property line between Midway Park and Hunters Creek took place April 17.

The clean-up crew consisted of about 20 service members and civilians picking up trash between the two housing developments from 8:30 to 11 am.

“There was no gate to actually separate Marine Corps property from the civilian side,” said Master Gunnery Sgt. Oscar Williams, the installation and facilities operations chief for MCB Camp Lejeune. “The Marine Corps put a fence up, but when the fence was being put up, we noticed there was a great amount of trash that was out on the other side of the creek.

With this being the Earth-Day week, we picked this as one site to ask for

volunteers to come out and help us clean this area to make it look good like it is supposed to look.”

Planning for such an event with volunteers, equipment and time takes a lot of preparation.

“It takes a lot of coordination especially with the Marines,” said Alicia Filzen, the environmental management system program manager. “(Williams) has been very helpful this year. Today we had to coordinate with all the waste managers to get the dumpster out here, and to get the trucks in the various spots we needed.

The most important part though, was getting the volunteers.”

A wide variety of trash was found during the cleanup. Everything from a car battery to a couch was found near the creek that divided the two neighborhoods. There were two pickup trucks which ran back and forth between the cleaning site and the dumpsters, continually throwing trash away.

Marine volunteers really enjoyed being a part of the group that cleaned up the neighborhood.

“I really wanted to give my junior

Marines a break from being sent out to a bunch of working parties, but I also like to volunteer,” said Cpl. Cornell Jordan, a supply Marine with Headquarters and Support Battalion.

“It’s good for you and everyone else, and it makes our planet a better place.

It was a tremendous effort that was put forth as a whole by all the Marines that were there.”

The clean sweep of the Hunters Creek shoreline was the first of many events that week, which included an Earth Day exposition and another clean sweep of Lyman Road.

There was also an electronics and household hazardous material turnin, during which anyone in the area can turn in old electronics they no longer need.

The last scheduled event was a “Splash for Trash” which took place April 20. Marines cleaned up different waterways around MCB Camp Lejeune while canoeing.

“The area that was worked on this morning looks way better now than it did before (the Marine volunteers) cleaned it up,” Jordan said.

Motorists should be aware of increased construction traffic during the next phase of the new base entry road beginning early next month. Timber harvesting, or tree removal, will be going on in the vicinity of Holcomb Boulevard, Sneads Ferry Road and Parachute Tower Road to make room for the construction of new roadways, bridges and equipment.

Danny Marshburn, program manager for the Forest Management Program, said the biggest worry regarding the construction is traffic.

“The main safety concern is that (Holcomb, Parachute Tower and Sneads Ferry) intersection,” said Marshburn. “There is going to be some major

construction activity there.”

Marshburn said construction in the area will begin with removal of timber, in which all proceeds go back to the Forest Management Program for future projects.

No matter what time of day it is, the speed limit just before the intersection goes from 55, to 45 and then 35 miles per hour, coming on base. Going off base, the opposite. However, motorists need to know that heavy equipment and trees are a couple more things they need to keep their eyes open for, aside from other vehicles.

In celebration of Earth Day 2012, volunteers aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune hopped into canoes, floated down the New River and collected trash along the way, doing their best to clean up the shorelines along the base during the Splash for Trash event, April 20.

Approximately 90 patrons

met at different areas including Courthouse Bay, French Creek, the Wounded Warrior Battalion and Camp Johnson to do their part along with Environmental Management Division, New River Water Way Stewards, White Oak River Keeper Alliance and New River Foundation personnel in protecting local waterways.

“Our mission is to collect the debris and dispose of the waste properly,” said Alicia Filzen, the environmental management

system program manager.

While some volunteers made their way down the river banks collecting trash ranging from tires and car bumpers to beer cans and cigarette butts, others boarded larger boats and barges to collect trash from those in canoes and dispose of it properly.

“The goal for today is to make the river as clean as possible in our area of responsibility on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and to have fun while we’re doing it,” said Master Gunnery

Sgt. Oscar Williams, the installation and facilities operations chief for MCB Camp Lejeune.

Marines, sailors and base patrons did just that during the event. Volunteers enjoyed every minute of the time they dedicated to the cause as they overloaded their boats with fun trinkets found along the beach and inexperienced canoers tipped over in excitement of finding souvenirs.

Splash for Trash was the culminating event for the recogni-

tion given to Earth Day during the week of April 16 through 20.

Throughout the week, more than 250 volunteers helped with multiple cleanup efforts to include the Midway Park and Lyman Road clean sweeps, an Earth Day exposition and an electronics and household hazardous material turn-in.

They are the discerning third eye looking after mission readiness. Their mission: To promote integrity, efficiency, credibility and combat readiness throughout the Marine Corps. That’s a tall order that requires the inspector general’s office to rely upon its teams of special agents, inspectors, criminal investigators and auditors, who must all remain impartial, honest and diligent.

Each command aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has an IG office which provide feedback to Marines and their leadership, said James Rohn, the operations officer with the Marine Corps Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune IG office. These offices help curb fraud, waste, misconduct and mismanagement through inspections, assessments, investigations and the handling of inquiries and request mast.

“You have to have the eyes and ears out there, which is what our office does as a (system) of checks and balances just to make sure there is no wrong doing being committed,” said Rohn.

The IG office conducts audits of commands by sending out subject matter experts to analyze anywhere from 30 to 120 functional areas, depending on the nature of the command. Recently, an IG inspection took place at the School of Infantry East, covering about 60 different areas, said Rohn. These functional areas vary from uniforms and drill performance to fire prevention for fire departments and aircraft facilities aboard air stations.

“The process in our office is an administrative one,” said Stacey Humphrey, assistant operations officer with the MCIEAST – MCB Camp Lejeune IG office. A lot of times, Marines feel like we are going to dispatch someone with Criminal Investigations Division or the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. It’s not that type of investigation. It’s a fact finding, paperwork and administrative process.”

Humphrey said that the functional areas are broken down into questions. They are not unlike questionnaires designed to check each area of a command that can be inspected.

Units can access the checklist used during an inspection from the Inspector General of the Marine Corps’ website, so their examination should not come as any particular surprise.

Rohn said that the command has discretion when it comes to utilizing the information garnered in an investigation.

Inspectors provide their comments and

findings, which are then forwarded to the command for review.

However, this is not to say that the IG limits its scope to the nitty-gritty details filtered from paperwork. Inspections can also include individual Marines.

“Normally with Lt. Col. Jeffrey Johnson, who’s our Command Inspector General, we’ll walk around and talk to the Marines in the unit, which is separate from anything else that is going on,” said Rohn.

“We want to get a feel of what the Marines are thinking in the unit. He’s really good about getting out there and will grab various ranks and ask them questions.”

This personal side of the IG carries through to its daily operations. Since they work with request mast and proper management saturations, the MCIEAST – MCB Camp Lejeune IG office routinely receives calls from Marines and dependents. In fact, many of the calls that they receive fall under the responsibility of other IG offices.

Rohn said that his office handles inquiries daily, many from people looking for help but unaware that his office is not particularly responsible for the command that individual falls under.

“We’ll take everything in,” said Rohn.

“We’re not going to say, ‘You don’t belong to us. You need to contact them.’ I just got a complaint for another inspector general. We’ll take action on it, but we’re going to refer it to them. We treat everything like it’s ours. Whether it’s ours or not, we’ll take the time to help that person out.”

While it can mean more work for the IG office, the chain of command is still the first approach for handling a Marine’s issues in most situations. The office remains an important outlet for individuals trying to report problems they see.

In fact, many commands have a list of off-limits establishments. These are places that are deemed inappropriate for Marines to frequent as they may be detrimental to that particular Marine or interfere with proper conduct and mission readiness. The determination of offlimits establishments is another activity in which the IG office takes part.

“There are positive things out there and we’re just another aspect, a positive part,” said Rohn. “When someone talks to someone in our office, we want to let them know it was the right thing to contact us.”

PROJECT FROM 2C weeks,” said Marshburn. “I’d like for them to just slow down and be patient. We will have LED signs and assistance from (the Provost Marshal’s Office) with traffic because we’re cutting down trees directly adjacent to the main roadways. There will be stoppages at times, short durations, but we will have flaggers out there to stop cars when we’re felling trees.”

Any tree has the possibility of falling into the road but officials with the Forest Management Program will make sure no vehicles or pedestrians are in any potential danger.

“We’re not going to do this during peak traffic times in the morning or in the afternoon,” said Marshburn. “Hopefully, we’re going to try and do the majority of this on the weekend, which would further reduce the amount of traffic being impacted.”

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The grounds maintenance services that keep the base neat, cropped and trimmed are receiving heavy cutbacks due to budget cuts. Services such a shrubbery, grass cutting and trash removal will still be done, just not as often. Due to the severity of those budget reductions, grounds maintenance services have been reduced by more than half compared to past years.

However, the base plans to compensate with the Grounds Maintenance Services Reduction Management Plan.

The necessary services that can’t be completed by contractors will have to be carried out as they have in the past, by the units themselves.

Units managed troop labor, an ageold practice, after the initial purchases for necessary supplies and equipment.

Troop labor execution greatly reduces contract costs and tends to build a sense of pride and ownership in spaces and accompanying grounds.

The budget cuts have resulted in a 60 percent reduction in service that the base has had in previous years. Grounds maintenance in recent years normally began the first week in April and lasted through Oct. 31, about 30 weeks. This year, services will begin in April but will only be carried out for 24 weeks, until Sept. 30.

“The financial climate has changed and with that, you’re going to see a sig-

nificant change in the appearance of the base via the grounds maintenance contracts that we oversee,” said Cmdr.

John Carson, public works officer with Public Works Division, Marine Corps Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

One of the more visible changes, grass cutting, will occur every other week during this time, as opposed to every week.

“It will definitely be visible across the base,” said Carson. “The tenant commanders need to understand that we are returning to the past. If that level of service is not enough for your particular area, the unit and troop labor will have to be utilized to do maintenance in between. They can also utilize the Self Help Program to check out equipment on a first come first serve basis however, the amount of equipment there is limited.”

Equipment needs beyond Self Help inventory may be addressed through unit purchase. Unit purchased equipment will be purchased, maintained and operated by the unit.

“We are pushing this information out to the unit S-4s so they know what’s going on,” said Carson. “If anyone has any questions related to grounds maintenance, they can address it with their S-4 who can facilitate questions through the proper channels at the Public Works, where we’ll get questions fielded for them.”

Hope, love conquer in race against cancer AMY BINKLEY

Assistant managing editor

Fear paralyzes.

Its control cripples, deters and crushes dreams. But there is something more powerful than fear, more powerful than a doctor’s bad report and more powerful than cancer.

Hope.

In the darkness of harsh realities, it shines its light and lends a hand to those who have no more strength.

Hope saves lives.

“Tonight, we’re racing toward a cure,” said Carol Jamison, Relay for Life event chair. “Relay rocks.”

Thousands of Onslow County residents set up camp and prepared to celebrate, remember and fight back against cancer at the annual Relay for Life along the Northside High School track in Jacksonville, N.C., Friday.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

No good ‘Words’ can save Murphy’s latest endeavor Now playing at CAMP LEJEUNE “A THOUSAND WORDS” (PG-13) “A Thousand Words” is a comedy about a person who must stop talking.

Eddie Murphy (“Tower Heist,” “Norbit,” “Shrek” series) stars as Jack McCall, a fast-talking literary agent, who can close any deal at any time and in any way.

McCall has his sights set on new age guru Dr. Sinja, played by Cliff Curtis (“Colombiana,” “The Last Airbender”), for his own selfish purpose.

After stretching the truth on a deal with the spiritual guru, Dr. Sinja is on to him, and McCall’s life becomes unglued after a magical Bodhi tree mysteriously appears in his backyard.

Its appearance holds a valuable lesson on the consequences of every word we speak.

Now, every time McCall speaks a word, a leaf falls from the tree.

McCall soon realizes that when the last leaf falls of the tree, both he and the tree are dead.

Up to now, words have never failed McCall, but he realizes that he has to stop talking and conjure up some outrageous ways to communicate, before all is in vain and he is gone.

Co-starring are Kerry Washington (“The Last King of Scotland”) as Caroline, Jack’s wife; Allison Jenney (“The

Help”) as Samantha Davis; Clark Duke (“Hot Tub Machine”) as Aaron Wiseberger, Jack’s assistant; and Ruby Dee (“American Gangster”) as Annie McCall.

Brian Robbins (“Varsity Blues,” “Meet Dave,” “Ready to Rumble,” “The Shaggy Dog”) directed this high-concept comedy that reminds one of “Liar, Liar”.

“A Thousand Words” is a lame vehicle and another misfire for the comic legend.

Now playing in JACKSONVILLE “CHIMPANZEE” (G) “Chimpanzee” is a nature documentary film that offers an intimate look into the world of chimpanzees.

The chimpanzee is an extraordinarily intelligent species of the anthropoid ape.

The filmmakers and experts spent more than three years in the tropical jungles of Uganda and the Ivory Coast observing these interesting creatures.

The team offers viewers a unique opportunity to better understand the animals’ distinct role in our global ecosystem.

The film takes moviegoers deep into the forests of Africa in this new True Life Adventure, introducing the star of the film, Oscar, an adorable three-year-old wild African chimp who finds himself alone in the African forest.

The story follows

Don’t accept defeat.

Fight deadly childhood diseases.

Oscar from his early days in the Tai Forest of the Ivory Coast where his protective mother is killed. He is later adopted by a fullygrown male chimp, the alpha male of a group of chimps, which apparently is highly unusual.

Oscar and his entertaining approach to life is a remarkable story of family bonds and individual triumph.

His playful curiosity and zest for discovery showcase the intelligence and ingenuity of some of the most

That Guy recently visited Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune to raise awareness about alcohol in the military.

The That Guy campaign is a multimedia campaign that utilizes radio and television spots and the website thatguy. com, which provides free downloads and promotional items such as playing cards.

Alcohol awareness campaign takes aim at That Guy LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

He’s hardly the life of the party, but he probably doesn’t realize it. With a few too many drinks, lowered inhibitions and some unfortunate encouragement, That Guy can dig a hole of shame he doesn’t even remember stumbling into.

Lately, he’s making appearances around the medical facilities aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to remind everyone not to be like him.

That Guy is a multimedia campaign funded by the Department of Defense to reduce excessive drinking among service members.

The campaign has a youthful edge utilizing television and radio spots, promotional items and thatguy.com to capitalize on the libation induced antics of That Guy and That Girl.

“It’s very interactive and has a lot of good informa-

tion from a fun perspective,” said John Swett, a health educator at Health Promotion and Wellness, Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune.

“They’re all awareness type materials but it’s very interactive. You can play the games and get involved.

You can actually see skits of That Guy or That Girl and get a feel for the fact that you don’t want to be (them).

You don’t want to be the person who discovers your buddies posted you on Facebook or YouTube wrapped around a commode.”

For all the fun the campaign brings to the table, the final goal is a serious one for service members whose careers can hang in the balance. The program is designed to attack alcohol abuse from the front end, before any tabs have been opened or drinks have been poured.

The focus of the program is prevention, said Glenda Aultowski, a community health nurse for Health Promotion and

Wellness, NHCL. Many programs deal with alcohol abuse, addiction and treatment, but That Guy is about getting people to think about what their behavior can lead to and how it can look to other people.

“It’s not just about the danger of alcohol but about what it does to your military career,” said Aultowski.

“Sometimes when you drink it’s easy to forget that what you will be facing tomorrow as a consequence of your behavior the night before.”

That is why the campaign has examples of That Guy and That Girl placing themselves in ridiculously compromising situations, said Aultowski.

The playing cards, ringtones, videos and other free media attached to the campaign are designed to remind service members to take a proactive approach to the protection of their reputations, careers and overall health.

The naval hospital

received a firsthand glance of this behavior when two service members took on the roles of That Guy and That Girl and paid the hospital a visit in April. The duo will continue to make the rounds to the base’s branch clinics in the weeks to come.

The actors illustrate the inappropriate behaviors associated with excessive drinking, especially for military personnel. Their performance is also a striking reminder that there is a damaging, public side to abusing alcohol, said Aultowski.

There is a host of Internet sites tracking people’s missteps on the long road home from the bar and alcohol that remains readily available to members of the military.

However, MCB Camp Lejeune has its own line of defense to help service members deal with alcohol related issues.

Their Prime for Life class targets alcohol abuse prevention.

In addition, Health Promotion and Wellness will set their sights on substance and alcohol abuse as their monthly theme in June, said Aultowski. The focus of the That Guy campaign and the various other endeavors to

curb alcohol related issues is to bring the risks of alcohol and outlets for treatment into focus, said Aultowski.

The less you see That Guy in real life, the more the campaign’s goals are being met.

NHCL prepares for mammogram screening event LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Approximately 226,870 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 and 39,510 women will die from it.

Early detection is key when dealing with the disease and Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune is taking some extra steps to help women with a walk-in mammogram screening event for all Tricare beneficiaries at the hospital’s Radiology Department, May 14 through 18.

“If we catch (breast cancer) early through screenings we have better, easier treatments available,” said Lt. Vincent Champion, a radiologist and the division

officer of breast imaging at NHCL. “It leads to an improvement in the overall care of the patient. The screenings have led to a decrease in overall mortality for breast cancer.”

Age is one of the most important factors when dealing with breast cancer.

NHCL follows American Cancer Society standards and recommends that women get a yearly mammogram beginning at 40.

Early detection saved the life of Irene Sargent, the population health coordinator at NHCL through self screening she was able to detect the problem early and get the mammogram that saved her.

“I was actually 38 (when diagnosed with breast cancer),” said Sargent. “I was below the age recommendation and I had

no family history. A mammogram saved me. That’s why (early detection) is my passion.”

Sargent said the hospital and the Navy share her passion for early breast cancer detection and treatment. They hope that more people can avoid the effects of later stages of breast cancer through events like this.

“We’re trying to do what we can to encourage people to come in,” said Champion. “We want to make it convenient.

They won’t have to have an appointment (for the May 14 through 18 screening), they can just walk in.”

One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Some risk factors may increase one’s chances of developing

the disease.

Women with family history of breast cancer, dense breast tissue, women who drink, don’t exercise frequently and those who are obese suffer a greater risk to breast cancer.

On the day of the exam, patrons are asked not to wear deodorant or antiperspirant.

According to a National Cancer Institute publication, some of these contain substances that can interfere with the reading of the mammogram by appearing on the X-ray film as white spots.

The screenings will take place from 8 to 11:30 a.m. and from 1 to 3:30 p.m.

For more information, call 450-3470.

Stars are the spotlights of the sky, highlighting the characters of countless stories from their positions above. Exciting adventures, enduring dramas and epic romances play out beneath their gaze every day.

While each account begs to be heard and seen, sometimes the story is told best when the light is shining on those who would rather stay in the shadows.

Author Nicholas Sparks carefully crafted an unforgettable tale that paired the glitz of Hollywood with small town sincerity during his Celebrity Family Weekend, in New Bern, N.C., Friday through Sunday.

The three-day event raised funds for local charities, including Hope for the Warriors and Paws with a Cause, which provides assistance dogs for disabled individuals.

Several wounded warriors from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune were invited to mingle with famous athletes, actors and more.

“The celebrities were thrilled to meet them,” Sparks said. “They understand the sacrifices they make.”

Saturday’s celebrity golf tournament served as the anchor for the entire weekend, which included a luncheon with the author, a fashion show and a movie marathon.

Twenty-four teams made up of famous faces, generous donors and wounded warriors played in a captain’s choice tournament at the New Bern Golf and Country Club.

Headlining the game was New Orleans Saints quarterback, Drew Brees.

“It’s good to be here,” Brees said.

“My wife has been a huge Nicholas Sparks fan for a long time. It’s great to be able to play for such great charities.”

Football was well-represented at the tournament with Houston Texans T.J. Yates and Matt Leinart also teeing off on the greens. “(Brees) is a class act,” noted 1st Lt. Christopher Merrick, KC-130J Aircrew Training Unit, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. “To have someone of that caliber to come out and take time out of their schedule is pretty incredible.”

Several members of television’s “One Tree Hill” also tried their hand at the game, focusing more on having fun than SEE SPARKS 11D

10D APRIL 26, 2012 RELAY FROM 1D The event, one of the largest in the area, drew record crowds and boasted impressive fundraising numbers with 3,176 registered participants, 160 teams and nearly $263,000 raised for the American Cancer Society.

Though financial successes were celebrated, the focus of the evening built upon the foundations of love and hope.

“Love is the greatest thing of all,” declared Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown. “You didn’t come here hating today. You came here loving.

This place is full of love.”

The race, dedicated in memory of Ruthann Carter who left $5,000 to the Onslow County Relay for Life when she passed away, started with the survivors’ lap.

A tidal wave of purple shirts flooded the track, as cancer survivors of every age, color and creed walked, ran, cheered and cried their way around.

“It’s a disease that affects everyone – it doesn’t discriminate,” Ashton Mayne, a member of the Officers’ Spouses Club team, pointed out. “There are too many purple shirts on the track today. These people are so strong.”

In a lifetime, cancer directly hits one in every three people, but the ripple effects a diagnosis indirectly causes are innumerable.

Everyone is touched. Everyone is changed. Everyone has a reason to relay.

“I was a caregiver for my husband,” explained Carol Bayne, a member of the MARSOC Silent Warriors.

“He was given three months to live, but with the help and support he was given, he lived two more years. It’s because of these kinds of events that people are able to live healthy lives.”

The Liberty Marine Group, after running more than 600 miles from New Jersey to the Beirut Memorial in Jacksonville, stopped and donated to the event.

“My mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 bladder cancer in November,” Andrea Gonzalez, a member of the group, said while wiping away tears. “This is the first time I’ve left her since then. We discussed it before, and she agreed I should come. She’s still here and still has a fighting chance. I had struggled coming here, but this is huge. It’s such a help being around this.”

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune was represented by several teams and participants, proving that cancer doesn’t stop at the front gate.

Michelle Allen, assistant principal at Johnson Primary School, walked with other teachers, parents and children from base in the all-night event.

“This illness isn’t limited,” she said. “It affects us all.

We represent a military base, but we’re here to serve the people and teach the kids to support a good cause.

This is a great community event, not just a Camp Lejeune thing.”

Age is not a determining factor when cancer chooses its targets.

The evening’s youngest survivor was four-year-old Taeler Sampson who suffers from eye tumors and Neurofibromitosis.

George and Connie Taylor, who have been married for 43 years, are each survivors of cancer.

“We’ve been coming here for 15 years,” Connie said proudly.

While some participants have already fought and won against cancer, others are in the midst of their battle.

“I relay because I’ve lost both my grandfathers, have three aunts who are survivors and in January I was diagnosed,” admitted Michael Truman, another MARSOC Silent Warriors team member. “Relay is a way to build a family. It shows hope. Not everyone here is a survivor, but everyone is here for them.”

Relay for Life veterans have cultivated a community where people who are diagnosed with cancer immediately know they are not alone. “(They) supported me so much when I had cancer and gave so much love,” said Derrita Knox, a cancer survivor. “Everybody is just so good to everybody else.

It’s and outpouring of love and support.”

Knox’s husband, a retired service member and survivor remarked, “A lot of times, we hear of hate and discontent, but you come out to this and see that

people really do care.

When you see this, you recognize there is still hope.”

Though the event dealt with a serious issue, it was still a time to celebrate and have a fun time.

Live entertainment kept the stage rocking with several singers belting out uplifting tunes.

Going along with the racing theme, each team was encouraged to build their own boxcars and races were held throughout the night.

However, when the lights were turned off and only the glow of the luminary bags could be seen, the evening’s purpose became clear.

“I wish you could see what I see,” Jamison sighed. “It’s a time for us to grieve those we have lost. Each candle has a name.”

The crowd was silent as Jamison led the important luminary ceremony – the heart, the hope of the entire event – calling for silence from the thousands of people who had gathered.

“No matter what our experience with cancer is, we live with the hope that our children will one day live in a world where they won’t have to hear the word cancer,” she explained.

Thousands made their way around the track in silence for a humbling, somber lap, and with each luminary that was passed, memories burned as bright as the flames that were lit.

“We have a shared vision for a cancerfree future,” Jamison concluded. “We can.”

SPARKS FROM 4D attempting a perfect score.

James Lafferty, a veteran actor of the show, has gained even more of respect for service members while filming over the past nine years in Wilmington, N.C. “Anything we can do to help we will,” he declared. “I think it’s a fantastic thing to be a part of. It’s really a pleasure for everybody, and it’s the least we can do.”

Lafferty’s co-stars, Stephen Colletti and Robert Buckley, also had high praise for the military and their families.

“My grandfather was a Marine,” Colletti revealed. “We appreciate what they do, and I’m always thankful for them.”

Buckley agreed, adding how the weekend allowed the celebrities to express their gratitude.

“I’m very appreciative of what they’ve done for our country,” he said. “This event is a rare opportunity to be able to show that. We had a blast.”

The wounded warriors were split into teams with celebrities like actor Josh Henderson and HGTV host Shane Tallent, and by the end of the day, their stories had made an obvious impact on the stars.

“The last thing we wanted them to do is walk away feeling sorry for them,” pointed out Robin Kelleher, president and CEO of Hope for the Warriors. “The celebrities were really affected by this, and they got to Photo by Amy Binkley understand that the life, the sense of Actor James Lafferty takes a swing during the humor, everything these guys have is celebrity golf tournament at New Bern Golf and still so strong.”

Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, was timidly approached by stars who were curious about his injuries.

“We appreciate everything they do, and they appreciate what we do,” he explained. “This brought everybody together. It means a lot to us.”

Amazed at the outpouring of support, Will Enriquez, a wounded warrior, confessed the whole weekend meant the world to him.

“We couldn’t ask for more,” he responded. “It’s truly been a highlight for me to be around such wonderful people like the Sparks family.”

Hope for the Warriors teams took home first and second place in the tournament.

The weekend’s events also served as the red carpet premiere of Sparks’ latest movie adaptation of his novel, “The Lucky One.” The film hits home with the military communities of MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS Cherry Point which sit just down the road from the sleepy town. Following the story of a Marine who has returned from combat with the picture of a mysterious woman whom he believes helped keep him safe. His journey to find her and the drama that ensues is the magic only Sparks can create.

“This is definitely an occupation you have to consider,” he explained when asked why he chose to write about a Marine. “After deployment, you come back changed no matter what. Everyone will react to that in different ways. Yes, some are wounded but everyone is changed.”

Jay Ferguson, who co-stars in the film, was humbled to be walking the red carpet with several members of Hope for the Warriors.

“For me, they have way more courage than I could ever imagine having,” he admitted. “They don’t get nearly as much appreciation as they deserve. Thank God we have them.”

Retired Gunnery Sgt. Bill Rosborough, a wounded warrior, was astounded by the crowds that lined the streets and thankful for the celebrities taking part of the weekend.

“I think this is great and it makes you feel good to know they’re out here to support us,” he said.

The financial support and generosity of Sparks and his celebrity friends extended past the weekend’s events, and Sparks matched every fund that was raised dollar for dollar.

However, knowing that even the brightest stars were able to slip into the background and shine a spotlight on true heroes, was enough for the service members.

“The Nicholas Sparks Foundation, the members of the country club and the celebrities showing up in New Bern is humbling because they’re helping the wounded warriors, which in turn helps the community,” noted Ed Salau, a retired Marine and member of Hope for the Warriors. “You can’t put a price on that. I’m proud to be a part of it, and I hope we can do it again in the future.”

M

ilitary service members, their families, veterans, friends and local community members gathered Sunday to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the USO of North Carolina – Jacksonville Center during a brunch honoring the longest continuously operating USO facility in the world.

The old building, nestled in the heart of downtown Jacksonville, has provided comfort and care to thousands of individuals and families throughout their military careers and promises to continue to serve the morale and recreational needs of the active and retired service members in the community.

Along with the brunch, the USO displayed historical artifacts for service members attending the event.

USO director Deb Fisher said the event was just a reminder to military past and present of the area’s appreciation for

their sacrifice and service.

“This is just really such a huge occasion for us because there’s about 170 USOs throughout the world and the oldest continuously serving USO that has never shut their doors is right here in Jacksonville, N.C.,” said Fisher. “I think that’s pretty amazing.”

Attendants of the celebration included USO volunteers and tenants from as far back as 1947.

The United Service Organization was established in 1941 under the direction of President D. Roosevelt to provide offduty recreational opportunities for U.S. Armed Forces through civilian support systems.

These organizations included the Salvation Army, YMCA, YWCA, National Catholic Community Services, National Travelers Aid Association and National Jewish Welfare Board.

The first USO opened in Fayetteville that year, soon followed by the Jacksonville Center. There were 3,000 USO establishments that surfaced during World War II, with as many as 12,000 person-

nel visiting per month. By 1998, those numbers had dropped to less than 3,000.

While many USO centers closed, the commitment to volunteers kept the doors of the Jacksonville location open through the decades.

Through the 1950s, the center held events such as big band dance nights, miniature golf, basketball, roller skating and pool and by the 1970s, the USO’s original director William Sheehan sought a variety of activities that would give the military a safe place to interact downtown.

Today, the USO continues to introduce a variety of interactive programs and services that allow military to stay in touch with their families when there are thousands of miles between them.

“I’m very honored to have taken over this USO in August of 2010,” said Fisher. “I hail from Ohio and I really appreciate being embraced by the Jacksonville community, the Marines, sailors and coasties down here. I’ve been out of pocket so I had very little to do with putting this event on. I would like to thank

our assistant director Marisa Reeder for doing such a phenomenal job and for pulling this off with her volunteers.”

John Falkenbury, president of the USO of North Carolina reminded guests that volunteers are the heart of their organization.

In order to put on this particular event, Marines from Company C, 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division and sailors from the Naval Hospital Branch Medical Clinic aboard Camp Johnson provided the necessary beautification and renovation for the anniversary including painting, mowing and planting flowers to make sure the USO was ready to celebrate the historic milestone.

“These five centers (in North Carolina) saw 407,000 men and women in uniform last year,” said Falkenbury.

“That has risen every year since we’ve been here because of people that volunteer to care of our service members … We are the only organization that is equipped with the heart that takes care of the soul.”
