he Marines from Route Clearance platoon, 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion performed a partnered route-clearance mission with the Afghan Route Clearance Tolai, 2nd Brigade, 215th Corps of the Afghan National Army, in support of Operation Afghan Warrior, recently.

Operation Afghan Warrior is an Afghan National Security Forces lead operation to clear and secure the Washir District from insurgent occupation and place it under the governance of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

The Marines’ mission was to search local routes for improvised explosive devices and ensure it was safe for travel for incoming military forces and local residents.

“Our job was to clear the Afghan Kandak and their adviser teams up from Delaram to Washir so they can carry on the mission clearing the town and the district center,” said 1st Lt. Christopher J. Campis, the platoon commander for Route Clearance platoon, 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion. “We have relatively robust clearance assets that enables us to provide them the protection, security and assurance they needed to get from one place to another.”

A considerable amount of planning for this mission was made prior to the platoon leaving Delaram be-

cause insurgent forces allegedly had placed hundreds of IEDs on routes and within the village itself.

“From the (intelligence) reports I received there was a (large) number (of IEDs in place), added Campis.

“As you noticed, when we cleared out there we didn’t find any on the route.”

The Afghan RCC was assigned to take over leading the convoy just shy of the village and stage their vehicles close to the bazaar and were to clear it and the district center of IEDs. The Marines were only tasked to escort the Afghan Forces to this point. It was here where ANSF took complete control of the operation and partnership between the Afghan RCC and the Marines was cut off.

“About a click away from the bazaar they cleared down (a local route),” said 1st Lt. Nathan A. Skopak, a combat engineer and the Afghan National Army Partnering Officer. “Their job was to clear the bazaar if the (criteria) was met. It wasn’t met, so they staged there and (slept) there for the evening. They cleared the bazaar and the government compound the next day.”

The majority of the company was new to route clearance with little or no experience in the field and had only received about a month and a half of training prior to this mission, said Skopak. The Afghan RCC has performed training missions on and around Delaram, but this was their first official mission.

Skopak said the Afghan RCC was hesitant to employ their newly

acquired skills and clear the area on foot until the platoon commander from third platoon, Afghan RCC, picked up a metal detector and began sweeping the area himself. The rest of the troops fell right in line and began applying all they had learned over the past month and a half after seeing their lieutenant courageously clear a route to the bazaar on foot.

“They have a lot of trust in (2nd Lt. Said Kamal),” said Skopak.

“That is why I think the mission was such a big success. It was a huge confidence booster for them.”

“They were very critical in clearing the bazaar. It was their soldiers who entered the bazaar and actually found two IEDs. They were able to clear the entire village of Washir,” said Campis. “It shows that we’ve come a long way in terms of training the Afghans and getting them ready to take over security as a whole for the country. Just seeing what Skopak has done with his one (company) of route clearance Afghans and how far they have come in that month (along with) the success on their first mission, it just shows you there is promise in the future of being able to turn it over to them completely.”

The remaining Afghan National Security Forces involved in this operation were able to secure the village ensure there was no immediate threat to themselves or the local residents because the Marines of 2nd CEB RCP and the Afghan RCC cleared roughly 50 miles of unimproved road and the wadi while in route to and from the village of Washir.

fghan forces n o w stand guard over every street in the Washir marketplace and man observations posts on hilltops surrounding the villages.

Operation Afghan Warrior, which began June 6, is now in its final stages having encountered no direct resistance from insurgent forces.

Soldiers from the 1st Kandak, 2nd Brigade, 215th Corps Afghan National Army, and Afghan National Police led the operation that contained minimal support from coalition forces. The coalition forces consisted of a U.S. Marine route clearance platoon, several explosive ordnance disposal assets and adviser support as well as other units from Regimental Combat Team 8.

A shura, or meeting, was held June 12 with Col. Eric Smith, commanding officer of Regimental Combat

Team 8, the district governor of Washir, the district chief of police, Brig. Gen. Wasea, commanding officer of the 2nd Brigade 215th Corps ANA, and the kandak commander in charge of the operation.

The discussion centered on the way forward to improve Washir. It has been more than six years since there was a significant presence from coalition, Afghan National Security Forces or the government of Afghanistan.

Once the provincial governor of Helmand officially recognizes Washir as a government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, appointed government funds for health clinics and government facilities will become available.

Until then, Wasea plans to work with the district governor to use recycled materials from old Afghan National Army bases to start improving government facilities in Washir.

Watercraft safety – fun in the sun and water Summertime is finally here. Along with the beautiful North Carolina weather, miles of beaches, rivers and lakes comes the enjoyment of boating.

This includes the increasingly popular use of personal watercrafts or jet skis.

However, with this pleasure comes the possibility of injury or death, especially when water is mixed in.

There is good news, even with the number of watercrafts increasing each year, the number of accidents and fatalities are decreasing. Of these fatalities, here are some key facts that should help you decide what actions to take to help ensure your time on the water is both safe and enjoyable: • 70 percent of all fatal boating accident victims drowned.

• 87 percent of the victims who drowned were not wearing a lifejacket.

• The most reported type of accident was collisions with other vessels.

• Capsizing and falls overboard are the most reported types of fatal

accidents.

• Approximately 70 percent of all reported fatalities occurred on boats where the operator had not received boating safety instruction.

• Alcohol use was a contributing factor in 25 percent of all boating fatalities.

Do not despair; boating when done correctly and in accordance with state law can be done in a safe manner. Here are a few tips to help you enjoy your watercraft activities safely: • Learn to swim.

The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around water is to learn to swim. Sounds simple enough, but you would be surprised.

• Wear a lifejacket.

Most state laws require all vessels to have at least one Coast Guard approved, serviceable, properly sized flotation device for each person on board.

Size is important as well, be sure it fits the person.

• Attend a boating safety course.

Courses are available online and within the local community. In addition, North Carolina General Statutes require that anyone between the ages of 14 and 16, complete an approved boating education course and carry a certification card and proof of age in order to operate a personal watercraft on the waters of North Carolina.

• Don’t drink and boat.

North Carolina law prohibits anyone from operating a watercraft while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Anyone with a blood alcohol concentration greater than 0.08 percent is considered under the influence. Alcohol and drugs cause impaired balance, blurred vision, poor coordination, impaired judgment and slower reaction time.

Boaters and jet skiers: It is your responsibility to ensure that you conduct your watercraft activities safely. Remember that you are not the only one out there. Share the waters, have fun and enjoy the summer.

housands of people rely on the security parameters in place on Camp Leatherneck to keep them safe as they go about their daily business of running units, planning sustainment missions for Afghan communities, holding shuras with Afghan government figures and maintaining a sense of normalcy in a battle-ridden area of operation.

These security measures are established and strengthened by the Marines of Task Force Belleau Wood, beginning with the three-day Base Defense Augmentation Force training course.

“The BDAF’s primary purpose is to provide uninterrupted security to Camp Leatherneck,” said Sgt. Jacob E. Garcia, a platoon sergeant with Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, TFBW, and a primary instructor and developer of BDAF. “We want a fortified concrete wall protecting us, not a chain-link fence lean-

ing on toothpicks. We designed the BDAF school to give the thousands on Leatherneck that concrete wall of protection.”

The force’s importance on the base is evident when presented with the sheer enormity of coalition forces and civilians working and living together.

“Thousands of people are able to work and accomplish their missions … just like back home, they know that someone is there to combat threats,” added Garcia.

He compared the job of BDAF-trained Marines to that of the extensive police forces protecting American citizens on a daily basis in the U.S. He also added that the only way the people on Leatherneck can continue to be protected is if the BDAF Marines are able to train to serve as “that impermeable wall that keeps the ‘bad’ out.”

Gunnery Sgt. Pete Mireles, the operations chief with Weapons Company, was also involved in the overall development of the course when II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) took over command of Regional Command Southwest

a few months ago. BDAF was created and tailored to the overall operations to protect the camp, said Mireles.

He added the BDAF is structured to assist and familiarize Marines with operations involving weapons systems, interior guard and standing post.

The Marines trained through BDAF provide 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment with enough operational support to execute the responsibility of force protection for the entire camp, Mireles continued.

“Everyone should know that, without the guard force in place, all the freedom, comforts and luxuries we have about the (base) would not be as extravagant to begin with, nor possible,” Mireles went on to emphasize.

It is a unique aspect of BDAF that brings Marines from any unit and any military occupational specialty together to train to secure the base. Marines without infantry backgrounds are familiarized with basic infantry techniques over a condensed, well-planned curriculum.

“Every Marine is a rifleman, but not every Marine can complete a mission without direction, training and expectation,” Mireles began. “All Marines who come through the BDAF aren’t of infantry background, (but) the BDAF mission is to ‘protect his house or die trying; not on our watch.’

“Morale, Welfare and Recreation centers are full, dining facilities are packed, free time is undisturbed. Why? Because competent Marines are on watch from tower to tower, at the main entry point and out on patrol,” Mireles said.

It is this diligence and dedication to thorough training and well-rounded, competent, responsible Marines that drives BDAF. From weapons systems training, to post and guard procedures, to reinforcement of the importance of camaraderie and looking out for your fellow Marine, BDAF leaves nothing out, despite its condensed timeframe.

“Every Marine that is trained will have the pride, discipline and duty of force protection for Camp Leatherneck,” Mireles concluded.

ANA show they can Former L.A. teach their own detective passes unique skills to infantry Marines LANCE CPL. BRUNO J. BEGO 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

In an effort to help the Afghan National Army sustain themselves in future operations, coalition forces are implementing mentorship programs to teach ANA soldiers different skills.

Six soldiers from the 215th Corps Logistics Battalion, ANA, graduated from a basic radio operator instructor course June 8, 2011, at Camp Shorabak, Afghanistan.

Marines with the Embedded Partnering Team, 2nd Maintenance Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward) hosted the weeklong course to ensure the soldiers have the knowledge and experience needed to conduct training for other ANA soldiers.

“We are instilling in them the same values we have as Marines,” explained Sgt. Roddney L. Haywood, the communications mentor for the EPT and for the students during the course.

“Marines teach Marines, and soldiers can teach soldiers … That’s the principle we are trying to show them.

“We want them to be able to go back to their units and teach other soldiers about their equipment without our help,” Haywood added.

During the course, the soldiers learned the technical aspect of the radios and how to properly set up communication with the different frequencies and channels.

In addition to the technical aspects, the course also focused on different teaching techniques. The

Haywood (background), the communications mentor for the Embedded Partnering Team, 2nd Maintenance Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), observes as soldiers with 215th Corps Logistics Battalion, Afghan National Army undergo the final exam for the basic radio operator instructor course June 7, aboard Camp Shorabak, Afghanistan.

Marines taught the soldiers how to properly introduce themselves to a class and how to create a lesson plan that incorporates classroom lectures and practical application.

“I think the real challenge was the final evaluation,” Haywood said. “We had them instruct fellow soldiers from other sections and other companies on how to use the radios properly.

“We want them to be comfortable and profi-

cient when they teach their classes,” he added. “We want them to be force multipliers so they can start teaching and relying on each other whenever they need help … (the Marines) are not going to be in Afghanistan forever.”

Six new basic radio operator instructors graduated from the course, and they are prepared to teach their own classes on the PRC1077 radio, which in the end makes the ANA a more independent force.

After 30 years as a Los Angeles detective, Ralph Morten decided it was time to pass on his knowledge.

Morten is an expert on irregular warfare who has deployed with Marines to Iraq seven times and twice to Afghanistan. Combining what he’s observed in Afghanistan with his keen detective skills, he has an informative class for Marines called “combat policing.”

Marines gathered at the Base Theater aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to listen to Morten discuss ways to spot the Taliban and defeat their tactics June 8.

“We’re trying to teach the Marines to be beat cops. In many ways, the Taliban are just like a big gang, like the Bloods and Crips in L.A.,” said Morten. “They do all the same things Crips and Bloods do: murder, theft, intimidate.”

Armed with a laser pointer and a projector, Morten engaged Marines from 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, by challenging them with hypothetical questions and scenarios involving Taliban.

During his time in Afghanistan, Morten witnessed certain Taliban activity that, if noticed, could help Marines in their fight. Morten stated his goal was to teach Marines counter-gang tactics.

“A major key to counter-gang tactics

is having contact with the local neighborhood. You need the help of the local population to be successful,” said Morten.

Morten also emphasized watching for small details of the Afghan populace.

“It never crossed my mind to pay attention to things like license plates,” said Cpl. Andrew J. Gould, a squad leader with the battalion. “I’m going to hit on attention to detail (with my Marines) on patrols and debriefs. I thought this class was good at showing actual stuff that happens and backing it with photos.”

As Marines responded with enthusiasm to his questions, Morten was pleased with the responsiveness to his class.

“Marines are the best counter-terrorists in the world because they’re out there every day hunting bad guys in their areas of operations,” said Morten, who has also worked with the Army. “Marines are so good because they’re dismounted all the time.”

Although the helpfulness of the class was noted by Marines, many stated it was only a percentage of what is needed to prepare for situations in Afghanistan.

“In the big picture this is helpful, but we’re not going to get everything we need in a classroom. You’re going to get it in practical application. It’s important to get out there and find a method to the madness,” said Staff Sgt. Chris Latham, a platoon sergeant in the battalion.

Retiree Corner with Randy Reichler

Complete up-to-date medical records a plus for disability compensation Often, I have veterans come in with medical problems which they state were present during military service, but not recorded in the medical record or a treatment report. One of the most prevalent recent problems like this is obstructive sleep apnea. It is a very common problem, which I will use as an example. Few people ever get a sleep exam, much less a diagnosis. Some of the symptoms are difficulty sleeping on the back, snoring, erratic breathing, interrupted sleep pattern, wake up tired in morning or very sleepy throughout the day or afternoons especially. Normally the spouse or someone sleeping with you notices the difficulty breathing when you sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea is a disability under the Veterans Affairs Compensation – CFR-38, Code 6847, which states: 1. Chronic respiratory failure with carbon dioxide retention or cor pulmonale, or, requires a tracheostomy is 100 percent, 2. Requires use of breathing assistance device such as continuous airway pressure machine is 50 percent. 3. Persistent day-time hyper somnolence is 30 percent. 4. Asymptomatic but with documented sleep disorder breathing is 0 percent.

The proof needed to apply for VA disability for sleep apnea is to have a sleep exam which shows a definite diagnosis. If the syndromes or com-

plaints are documented in the activeduty health record, it simplifies the disability application process.

The difficulty comes when the documentation is not present. In this case, lay evidence can be important. If you had people who were stationed with you and witnessed the sleep apnea syndromes, you need to request a clear, factual statement directed to Department of Veterans Affairs. I would suggest three statements from people who served with you and a statement from the spouse stressing the problem started during active duty.

The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals stated from Buchanan verses Nicholson made a ruling in June 2006 that lay evidence can, and of itself in some instances, be sufficient to establish service connection. This ruling could apply for many disability situations. The VA is responsible to ensure the evidence submitted is credible and competent. The VA often request a witnesses’ DD214 to authenticate the person was in service when the action occurred. The lay statements don’t always work, but they can be effective sometimes. For further assistance or information with lay evidence, contact Onslow County Veteran Service Office at 347-3309 or 451-0287.

I have some sample lay evidence statements I can provide.

Afghan National Army soldiers graduated the Explosive Hazard Reduction course 11-4 held at Joint Sustainment Academy Southwest aboard Camp Leatherneck, June 9.

The EHRC was a fourweek course designed to teach ANA soldiers how to detect improvised explosive devices and remove them from an area. The 24 Afghans who graduated also received advanced courses in detonating and disposing IEDs. “The soldiers took to the information well and were quite keen,� said British Royal Army Cpl. Paul M.

Green, an EHRC instructor. “They grasped the information very well. I think that’s important because then Afghanistan forces won’t be relying on International Security Assistance Forces for the detection and removal of IEDs.�

The graduation ceremony featured a speech from ANA Brig. Gen. Qordatullah Quam, the cultural and religious affairs officer with 215th Corps, who spoke to the soldiers about their accomplishment and new duties as explosive hazard reduction specialists in the ANA. “I’m really happy that they learned everything in this course and can now help the people of Afghanistan,� Quam said. “What they have learned increases

their responsibilities and thanks to this course, they know what those responsibilities are and how to carry them out.�

Although the purpose of the course was to teach explosive hazard reduction, certain students, such as ANA Sgt. 1st Class Jalaldin Haqani, were selected by the course instructors to be sent to places like the Kabul Military Training Center, the recruit training camp of the ANA where they can teach their new skills to other Afghan soldiers. “This course was great,�

Haqani said. “I feel like I am now fully prepared to go to Kabul to train soldiers and help the ANA. We all learned a lot, and with this knowledge we can help rebuild our country.�

Ease of movement for troops, equipment and supplies is a high priority for coalition forces operating in Marjah, Afghanistan. Route repairs improve infantry and logistical units’ mobility in and out of combat outposts and forward operating bases throughout the area.

Marines with 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), traveled to Forward Operating Base Geronimo June 12 to repair two major routes for 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (Fwd.), who are conducting operations in the area in support of the International Security Assistance Force. “We are going to repair about three and a half miles of roads in this area of

operation,� explained Staff Sgt. Joseph Gomez, the staff noncommissioned officer in charge of the operation with 7th ESB. “We are going to make some sections of the road wider to allow a better flow of incoming and outgoing traffic in the district.�

The repairs will allow mounted patrols and resupply convoys to travel faster, covering a longer distance in less time. “Some of the repairs consist of installing a draining system and a small bridge,� Gomez explained. “This will prevent convoys, as well as local nationals, from having to cross the canal through the water.�

The repaired routes will provide infantry units, logistical convoys and local nationals a quick and easy access to remote areas in Marjah.

2010 Consumer Confidence Reports PRESS RELEASE

Environmental Management Division

Water consumers here at Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune and throughout the country will soon be receiving easy-to-understand Consumer Confidence Reports that will allow them to make informed choices that affect the health of their families and themselves.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report? As a result of the Consumer Confidence Rule developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in August of 1998, all public water systems, including the water supply systems at MCB Camp Lejeune, are required to publish an annual report on the quality of drinking water provided to consumers. The annual Consumer Confidence Report is a “report card� to provide facts about the drinking water at MCB Camp Lejeune.

The report identifies the source of our drinking water and details any contaminants detected during the reporting year. It also provides important health information.

MCB Camp Lejeune will begin delivering Consumer Confidence Reports to all housing residents in the next couple of weeks. The Consumer Confidence Report will also be posted on official bulletin boards in all buildings throughout the base.

Marines with 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division; and Force Reconnaissance Company, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force, pull their fellow Marine into a combat rubber raiding craft after jumping out of a CH-53 helicopter aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, June 14.

Recon conducts helo casting CPL. JOHNNY MERKLEY 2nd Marine Division

Marines and sailors from 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division and Force Reconnaissance Company, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force, conducted helicopter casting operations aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, June 14.

The purpose of the exercise was to familiarize the Marines on exiting a moving CH-53 helicopter into the ocean and maneuvering their team safely to shore.

“This training is a method of insert for amphibious operations we may utilize when the battalion is deployed with the MEU,” said Capt. Philipp Rigaut, the outgoing company commander for Company C, 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion. “We drop off the Marines over the horizon with a boat, and the Marines would come to shore for a reconnaissance mission.”

Although the Marine Corps has had its attention on Iraq and Afghanistan the past decade, the Corps will continue to train for and uphold its roots as an amphibious fighting force prepared at anytime.

“Amphibious reconnaissance is actually very important, and it’s essential that we do this training,” said Rigaut. “This is an important part to a successful MEU deployment, so we’ll make sure we’re

ready at anytime.”

The battalion is preparing for an upcoming deployment where amphibious operations are part of the work up.

“When you’re on a MEU, this method of insert is used quite often,” said Rigaut. “We try to do training like this usually once a month. We’re leaving for the MEU pretty soon, so this training is very important.”

The Marines spent multiple hours running through each exercise – first with just a team of Marines jumping out of the helicopter and then adding a combat rubber-raiding craft with them while they jumped.

“I think the Marines are doing really well,” said Rigaut. “There’s always room for improvement in everything you do, so we’ll continue to train and get better.”

While these Marines often take part in similar training operations and have conducted this training before, it still brought excitement and enthusiasm after every jump they conducted.

“We’re recon, we love this kind of stuff.

I’m excited every time I get to jump,” said Capt. Ryan Harrington, the incoming company commander for Company C, 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion. “I don’t think I’m just speaking for myself when I say I enjoy it.”

Second Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, visited the Combat Center to test a new weapon in the most extreme of climates. Shot from the M-777A2 howitzer, the excalibur round is a precision-guided artillery round that uses the GPS to hit targets with pinpoint accuracy. The round is now being used in Afghanistan to reduce civilian casualties while providing Marines with effective fire support.

For the majority of the battalion, this shoot was the first time they were able to experience the new gun and munitions.

Each round costs approximately $100,000, making its time in training scarce.

“This is good hands-on experience for our guys,” said Gunnery Sgt. Keith Allen, the battery gunnery sergeant for Battery E. “We are trying to use them more heavily in Afghanistan. They are more accurate, cutting down on casualties.”

Marines had the opportunity to explore the positives and negatives of the newest version of their lightweight howitzer. The M-777A2 is an improvement over the M-777 as it incorporates a GPS interface and can be moved more rap-

idly, thanks to lighter material used in its construction. The tremendous force and pressure from firing its ordnance can increase maintenance demands for the gun’s crew, however.

“It’s dependable, but it takes more to maintain,” Allen said. “It’s better, lighter and safer.”

The gun and the round have more technology in them than the predecessor M-198 howitzer and its standard high explosive rounds. Both the round and the gun have computer chips and GPS units inside them, making them extremely accurate.

“It takes more (preparation) and more attention to detail,” said Cpl. TJ Dye, the section chief for gun one in Battery E. “It’s not like the normal high explosive round. You have to hold it a different way and you have to be very careful with it.”

Dye said the round is used on a caseby-case basis. Because the round doesn’t have a large kill radius, it is more likely to be used when insurgents are in a compound or similar area in order to avoid civilian casualties, whereas a normal HE round would be used if the insurgents are found in an open field.

“This round is supposed to be very reliable,” Allen said. “This is a great opportunity for the Marines to get a good feel of what this round is like.”

Marines with 2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, get ready to fire the M-777A2 howitzer with the excalibur round, June 17, in the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms training area. The majority of the battalion has never fired the excalibur round before.

ICE Training Teams, Field Service Representatives ready to help MARCORSYSCOM Public Affairs

A

t some point in their careers, Marines have likely gone to the Individual Issue Facility or Unit Issue Facility and didn’t know how to use the equipment they picked up.

This is where Program Manager Infantry Combat Equipment Training Teams step in to assist.

The teams work on an individual basis with warfighters and more broadly with the operating forces. Together, the subject matter experts and teams from Marine Corps Systems Command’s Combat Equipment and Support Systems are on call for training anywhere around the world.

There are added benefits, according to analyst John Hernandez with PM ICE ITT. “During many training events,” he said, “the ITT staff has found instances where Marines had improperly assembled their body armor resulting in the quick-release function not performing as designed.

Improperly assembled body armor can have catastrophic consequences should a Marine have to quickly egress out of the armor.”

The ITT, Hernandez explained, can detect and correct these and similar issues through direct assistance in the field.

As the total life cycle manager of all Marine infantry combat equipment, PM ICE is responsible for developing, fielding

and sustainment of ICE to enhance the performance, capability, survivability and mobility of Marines. Some of the items they field include the Modular Tactical Vest Scalable Plate Carrier, lightweight helmet, Flame Resistant Organizational Gear, sleeping bags, boots, cold weather clothing, ballistic eyewear, Marine Assault Climber’s Kits and just about everything else a Marine would wear in combat.

PM ICE has full-time ITTs and field service representatives actively supporting each Marine Expeditionary Force and the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, along with Marine Forces Reserve. The FSR coordinates total life cycle management activities of PM ICE products with the operating forces, both active and reserve. Meanwhile, the ITT informs Marines about the latest products being fielded that will be used during training as well as on the battlefield. The end result is to ensure the availability, serviceability, education and training of all PM ICE’s portfolio of products to all units from the MEF, major subordinate commands, regiments, battalions and squadrons right on down to the individual Marine or sailor.

“The ITTs and FSRs conduct visits with command staff and supply points of contact at all levels to ascertain if there are any issues they are working that require assistance,” said Armen Kullukian, who manages FSRs for PM ICE. “Additionally, they pass on information that would help these points of contact perform their duties.”

WHEELS FROM 1A This is the first time a PEI rotation, of this size, has occurred for LAVs in Afghanistan since the beginning of the war. LAR battalions have seen an increase in operational tempo over recent years, which have added extra wear and tear on the current LAVs and the battalion would swap out a few vehicles at a time. These LAVs have been in continuous use since they first rolled into the deserts of Afghanistan and were in desperate need of depot level maintenance.

“Second LAR sent these vehicles over in 2009, so they have been here for that long,” said Ormsbee. “The maintenance aspect of it has been astronomical. (The Marines) are doing an annual service on these things every couple of months. They are getting that much usage out here.”

The increased operations have made maintenance tricky for the LAR battalions supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. The battalions who used these vehicles in the past years have had to ensure they maintain the equipment they have, while still holding a visible presence in their area of operations.

Ormsbee said the battalion would only take a few vehicles at a time to perform maintenance, while the rest of the battalion would continue operations in the Southern Helmand River Valley.

“The mechanical side is very stepped up,” said Ormsbee. “That’s why it’s good we’re (performing) this PEI rotation and getting new vehicles in here.”

The battalion is scheduled to bring a selected number of vehicles at a time to Camp Dwyer for the rotation. Marines from 2nd LAR, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, and field service representatives for special equipment items will perform the PEI rotation, said Gunnery Sgt. Aaron Conger, the staff noncommissioned officer in charge of the Special Equipment Items lot, Camp Dwyer Cell.

All personnel involved in this project are working hard to ensure these vehicles are not only safe, but combat ready.

Five separate models of LAVS were delivered in Afghanistan much like you would receive a base model car from a dealership, skin and bones with no amenities. It is the Marines’ and FSR’s job to give each vehicle a facelift with new equipment. “(Everyone) here has their own contribution they’re giving,” said Ormsbee. “We’ve got (communication technicians) that are taking the (communications systems) off of the old vehicles and placing them on the new vehicles. We have mechanics that are helping with the (armor kits), welders who are helping. Just multiple (military operational specialties) and each have a pivotal role ensuring this task takes place.”

Conger, noted that the FSRs are working during the daytime in temperatures well exceeding 100 degrees to fit these eight-wheeled all-terrain cruisers with navigation systems and CREW Vehicle Receiver Jammer systems, which block the signal for radio-activated improvised explosive devices.

The vehicles worked on during the day by the FSRs are driven to another lot on base during the evening. At that time, the Marines are spending long hours wrenching on each vehicle to uninstall and re-install the under belly protection kits, communication systems and a laundry list of additional items. The Marines have seen several challenges since the PEI rotation began aside from regular sandstorms and sometimes working until 4 a.m.

“The challenges we are facing is basically logistics,” said Ormsbee. “We’ve got multiple units coming together from different bases, using other people’s lots, and borrowing tools.”

The Marines worked the bugs out after the first two vehicles were completed and were able to start an assembly line of LAVs. The PEI rotation is well underway and the Marines are moving forward getting the vehicles into operations.

“The (unit’s) operational readiness will now be at 100 percent because the unit will have a full set of vehicles rather than be deficient,” said Ormsbee. “The capabilities (it adds) bringing these new vehicles in is it allows (2nd LAR) to have a full compliment of vehicles. They won’t be short sided.”

Kullukian said the FSR is responsible for the logistical support functions such as the surveillance of all PM ICE products across the enterprise to ensure their availability and serviceability. This includes identification of lowstocked items, incomplete items, follow up on prolonged backorders, product quality-original equipment manufacturer defects, ensuring disposal plans are executed and coordinating with appropriate organizations to resolve issues.

“The FSR also helps field new equipment by tracking the items to ensure the designated units receive the product and that those items are accounted and receipted for in a timely manner,” Kullukian said.

The ITT, according to Hernandez, provides the training and education piece for all newly fielded and existing PM ICE products. ITTs coordinate training and provide educational command briefs to units and individuals at all levels, thereby ensuring that all Marines and sailors they train know the proper fit, form and function of PM ICE items. Additionally, an ITT provides educational briefs at Staff Noncommissioned Officer Academies.

Last year, ITTs trained thousands of Marines on the proper procedure to assemble body armor, adjusted individual load bearing equipment that makes carrying the backpack much more comfortable and demonstrated the proper use of the new Three-Season Sleep System, as well as the Cold Weather Clothing System used

with the 3S. Besides educating and training Marines, the ITT runs and maintains the Non-Destructive Test Equipment-Automated Inspection System. The NDTE-AIS provides a means to inspect enhanced small arms protective inserts through use of a digital X-ray system. Through the use of NDTEAIS, PM ICE can detect cracks that might otherwise not be visible to the naked eye.

Col. Michael Hudson, commanding officer, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, attested to PM ICE support. “As we put the MEU together and get the Marines and sailors ready to deploy into an uncertain environment, my MEU can be certain of their gear, thanks to the outstanding support of our PM ICE reps, Mike Ward and Robert Madrid. They have helped with gear fitting, SAPI plate X-ray and instruction on the care and maintenance of the gear.”

Hernandez said ITTs “are available to train Marines wherever they want: at the unit location, in a classroom at the battalion operations section, a parking lot behind the barracks, a warehouse or during pre-deployment training.”

(Left to right) Rob Beale, Ryan Lukadoo, Tim Wright and Chris Tauract pose with their first place awards after winning the first Military Golf Classic with a score of 56 at the Jacksonville Country Club in Jacksonville, N.C., Friday. All proceeds from the event went to the Museum of the Marine and the Hope for the Warriors Foundation.

RUSSELL VARNER Sports editor

Among the many things eastern North Carolina is known for is its picturesque golf courses. The Museum of the Marine and Hope for the Warriors found a way to take advantage of this.

On Friday, more than 100 golfers came out to the Jacksonville Country Club in Jacksonville, N.C. to take part in the first ever Military Golf Classic, a charity golf tournament with the proceeds going directly to both the Museum of the Marine and Hope for the Warriors.

“Both are worthy causes,” said retired Col. Bruce Gombar, chairman of the Board of Directors for the Museum of the Marine. “Obviously, Hope for the Warriors is a tremendous charity that helps very deserving people and we’re absolutely behind that. And the Museum of the Marine is an organization that’s going to commemorate the service of all Marines from the Carolinas since World War II … This effort today to help out Hope for the Warriors and help build the Museum of the Marine is going to go a long way toward two very worthy causes.”

The tournament included a round on the 18-hole course, a lunch and raffle drawings for prizes ranging from golf balls and clubs to a reclining chair and a bronze model of the Museum of the Marine. The Military Golf Classic raised more than $3,500 in donations alone.

“As an organization, we’ve always been grateful for the support that we get,” said Peggy Rochon, southeast regional director for Hope for the Warriors. “It’s great to be able to partner with the Museum of the Marine and come together (for) the common good, not only the sacrifices but the service of all the Marines, Coast Guard, (and) airmen.”

“I’m appreciative and overwhelmed, but not surprised (by the support),” she added.

“Whenever you put something out in Onslow County or to the base that something is going to be benefiting the Marines or the Wounded Warriors, they come in droves. I was very grateful, especially with the folks who took time out of their day and time off of work to come out and be a part of it.”

Quirky winter weather still affecting local fish today Onslow Offshore With Dr. Bogus

By the time you read this, summer will be upon us, although it has felt summery for some weeks now. All this after one of the coldest winters in many years.

I have been repeatedly asked why the fishing has been so strange this spring. The only two conclusions I can come to are that, somehow, it’s residual effects from our unusual winter weather or I have no idea what’s going on. Take your pick.

In our minds, we always look to find a reason. We see an effect and we reach, agonize and grope for a cause, a reason to satisfy ourselves as to why and how.

Sometimes, all we can do is make an educated guess or just raise your arms to the sky and realize no answer is coming.

A while back, I wrote a tongue and cheek article on excuses to use when you go through long or short stretches when the fish deities are against you. I called it “Excuse Me,” after the Steve Martin “excussssse me” line.

So excussssse me, but this what I can tell you about the current fishing status, as best I can.

Flounder fishing is great, especially if you don’t mind throwbacks.

Most of the keepers

are still hanging off on the nearshore reefs and rocks. If you fish the piers, inlets or usual open sound areas, your keeper rate is probably about one in 20. If you fish inside and want keepers, you must fish structure, docks along the Intracoastal, bridges, the port wall and so on. There are also some keepers at the Cape Lookout jetty and the Fort Macon rock jetty.

Big baits will also help to minimize the shorts.

It does seem that over the last five or six years that more flounder are staying and feeding on the nearshore reefs for a longer time and that fewer are returning to their normal inshore summer haunts when we normally expect their return. Why? I don’t know.

The king mackerel bite has been slow, not only along the beach, but offshore as well. A telling point is the paucity of kings landed from both the Topsail and Bogue Banks Fishing piers.

Bogue Pier has weighed in only one king mackerel so far this season, but they have had five cobia so far.

The Spanish bite has held up well along the beach for some. Others can’t scare up a Spaniard.

There are indeed some nice Spanish that have

landed along the beach on live menhaden. You may find a snake king or cobia as well. a residual r Work the reefs and rocks W and wrecks again. I also an heard he ea of some snake kings kin n in the Beaufort shipping channel and shi around the Dead Tree aro Hole. By the way, for Ho Spanish, that big bay S area behind the Shaq is traditionally a good place to troll for them.

In addition, Spanish are very scarce in the Emerald Isle surf as are most other predators. After a few drum landed in May and early June, we have gone from scattered to nearly non-existent again.

Even the blues have been hard to find lately. Bottom fishing, try sand fleas for pompano and sea mullet. They are free for the gathering and great bait this time of year.

Speaking of crunch baits, the sheepshead bite this season has been very good, with fish up to 10 pounds being weighed in. Any of the Atlantic Beach/Morehead bridges, the train trestle or port wall are good locations in addition to the Emerald Isle and White Oak bridges.

Bite on the fishing Bogue and Topsail fishing piers has been good for those who want to put in the time and effort. The best baits have been sand fleas, live shrimp, fiddler crabs and sea urchins.

Word of caution: If you use sea urchins you need to crush down the spines (please make sure to use leather gloves) and put a hook through them.

Inside drum are scattered and thin. This may be related to the large numbers that left the cold inside waters this past winter for the more hospitable ocean temperatures. Their return seems slow and distributed.

The bite has been slow

in the Haystack marshes and creeks off of Core Creek as well as Cape Carteret, Emerald Isle, behind Bear Island and even in the lower White Oar River marshes.

I kayaked the lower White Oak marshes last week for several hours and had only two misses, no hookups. I put in at the Croatan Park area off of Highway 58 in Cape Carteret. It was a very nice location, but I was disappointed in the lack of redfish.

If you fly fish for the redfish, one hot fly is a black fly with gold flash.

Pier fishing is currently in the typical summer mode. Spots, sheepshead, hogfish, sea mullet, some big two- to three-pound pompano, short flounder with a few keepers in the mix, and of course pinfish and small sharks.

Out at the end, think bluefish and Spanish, but don’t forget to think think early and late. Bogue Pier has weighed in some nice Spanish in the two-to five-pound range. They are also looking for tarpon in the king territory of the pier.

Offshore, there are dolphin with a good bite out at 35 miles. There are reports of some dolphin at Southeast Bottoms, but some that have gone there looking have come up empty. Sea bass are still going good from the inshore rocks all the way out. Check the regs though, they are a moving target right now.

Sailfish are also close in, there was even a release of a sail within one mile of the beach.

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

Fans unable to just enjoy the present

Outspoken with Russell Varner Sports editor

I’m not exactly sure what it is with fans today, including myself. We are insatiable. We need more and more. We are probably spoiled from the 24-hours sports news coverage ESPN provides us and the up-to-the-millisecond updates sites like Twitter can provide us with.

Regardless, Rory McIlroy gave us one of the more dominating performances in golf history this past weekend at the U.S. Open, leading from wire to wire and never giving the rest of a field much of a chance to catch up. It was an amazing story, to see McIlroy win it all with his dad watching on Father’s Day, just months after his breakdown at the Masters.

The 22-year-old put up the lowest Major-winning score for a first-time since Bobby Jones in the 1920’s. It was a sight to behold.

And then, within hours of his victory, the questions started putting up: How does this compare to Tiger’s U.S. Open victory in 2000? Is he better than Tiger? Will McIlroy challenge Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 Majors, the record that Tiger seemed destined to break just a few years ago?

Maybe the problem is more a case of ESPN having a slow news day and having to fill up time with a story.

Maybe people are already tired of anything related to Tiger Woods and desperately searching for someone to replace the fallen hero as the new “must watch golfer.”

Whatever the reason, I have to ask: why can’t we just be happy with McIlroy’s victory and why can’t we just admire it for now? Why must we begin comparing him and his performances to others already? Why can’t we wait until McIlroy has won three, four or even five Majors before we begin to christen him as golf ’s next big thing?

I said the same thing about Tom Brady when, after his first Super Bowl victory, people began comparing him to Joe Montana. I say the same thing about people who tried to compare Kobe Bryant and LeBron James to Michael Jordan.

What fans can’t seem to understand is that what made those athletes special is that they are once-in-a-lifetime athletes, guys with skill and determination that we will most likely never see in a player again. I have a sad truth for you: there will never be another MJ. There will never be another Montana. There will never be another Ruth, Gehrig, Greztky, Orr, Pele, Ronaldo (the original, not Crisitano), Palmer or Nicklaus.

But, at the same time, there will never be another Tiger Woods. There will never be another Kobe or LeBron.

We will never see another Pujols, Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Favre or Nash. That’s what makes them so special and sets them apart from every other player in history: there will never be another one of them.

Of course, there will be athletes who come close to the historically great athletes. It’s the goal of every athlete: to be the best of the best and to be remembered for all time. But, nowadays, we are too quick to name someone as the next “can’t miss” prospect.

Just look at all the hype Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg got. Now, after he returns from Tommy John surgery, there’s no guarantee he will ever live up to all the hype he was given when he entered the league.

Same goes for Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters. O’s fans were

so excited about the up and coming catcher that they created a website called MattWietersfacts.com, which includes ‘facts’ like “Sliced bread is actually the best thing since Matt Wieters” and “The movie ‘8 Men Out’ is actually based on Matt Wieters’ first unassisted octupal play.” In his third year in the league, Wieters has yet to hit better than .288 in a season. But, in his defense, he is very young and those ‘facts’ were made in fun. But it just adds further pressure onto Wieters. He will most likely never reach the impossible expectations fans have unfairly given him and I’m sure Nationals’ prospect Bryce Harper will fall victim to the same problem as well.

You can call me cynical if you want. Call me a pessimist. I prefer to see an athlete accomplish something worthwhile before we proclaim him the sport’s savior, a la Freddy Adu back in the day. I’ve seen enough athletes rise and fall in the blink of an eye to know that you should wait before you buy into the hype of a player.

One day perhaps, fans will learn to appreciate what they have and to stop setting impossible expectations for their favorite athletes. They will stop comparing athletes to players who they should not be compared to. And, if you want to argue with me about who really is the greatness of all time, the argument will end much like the argument in the trailer for the upcoming movie, “Bad Teacher.”

In it, Jason Segal is arguing with a young boy about who is better: Lebron or MJ. Keep in mind this was before LeBron’s not-so-great Finals performance. Segal’s argument?

“Call me when LeBron has six championship rings. That’s the only argument I need, Shawn.”

Lebron is no MJ. McIlroy is no Tiger. But then again, we may never see another LeBron or McIlroy in our lifetimes. So let’s enjoy them while we can and save the comparisons for later.

Teams played up to five games in an 20-hour diamond.

More than 10 teams from Marine period for the event, pushing service members to their limits.

Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Camp Johnson came to the Harry Agganis Softball Field to take part in the fifth annual Midnight Madness Softball Tournament, Friday and Saturday.

The teams took part in a double-elimination style tournament that began at 6 p.m. Friday night and did not end until 2:30 p.m. Saturday. No matter when you drove by Harry Agganis Field between those times, you were guaranteed to see a softball game taking place.

So how did the service members stay awake after teams played up to fives games in the 20-hour span?

“It’s hard,” said Michael Williams, coach of the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune softball team. “It’s the level of competition. The guys get out there and they want to play at least as (well) as the team they are playing … We fought to get back in to the championship game and (our early) loss motivated us.”

“They make these things called Mon-

sters,” joked Jeremy Giroir, head coach of the Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools team, which won the tournament after going undefeated and winning the intramural softball regular season crown. “(Honestly,) adrenaline really keeps you up (until) you play the next game. I know watching the softball games throughout the night kept me up, doing some scouting and seeing who we were going to play next. The softball entices you and keeps you awake for sure.”

After their perfect intramural season, MCCSSS dominated the tournament, outscoring their opponents 70-16 and never scoring less than 14 runs in a game.

Just as they did in the intramural championship game, MCCSSS overcame an early deficit to win the title as their bats exploded for 11 runs in the sixth inning against NHCL to win the tournament via the mercy rule.

“I kept telling them to fight, keep hitting the ball hard and eventually it is going to fall,” said Giroir. “That’s what happens in softball. It’s tricky. You hit it hard and sometimes it goes straight to their glove and when you hit it right, it goes in the holes. So that’s what you (have) to keep doing and that’s what we did.”

As for their opponents, NHCL, they SEE SOFTBALL 5B

The Great Outdoors M RUSSELL VARNER Sports editor

any of us most likely spent Father’s Day weekend relaxing with our dads, serving him breakfast in bed and letting him watch the final round of the U.S. Open in peace and quiet.

But, thanks to the Outdoor Adventures division of Marine Corps Community Services, four families were able to spend their weekend enjoying the great outdoors at the picturesque Hospital Point Picnic Area aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday and Sunday. “My wife wanted to do it as a Father’s Day (gift), so she wanted to do this and (my son, Qwentin) wanted to learn to fish and all that,� said Eric Conder. “I haven’t fished like this since (before I joined the Navy). I haven’t really done anything like this (in) forever and a day.�

Participants took part in everything from archery and fishing to a showing of the movie “Rango� on an inflatable movie screen. “Next Saturday is the National Backyard Campout,� said Marybeth LeMaire, outdoor recreation specialist with Outdoor Adventures. “(But), instead of doing it next weekend, we decided to do it this weekend because of Father’s Day.

some families out, take them fishing ‌ Camping is a fun, relaxing event so we (didn’t) want to have too much planned.�

Among the campers were the Davis and Farnes families, neighbors and close friends. Both Mandy Davis and Emilee Farnes saw the Backyard Campout as a great way to enjoy the Father’s Day weekend while the dads were out of town. “With it being Father’s Day weekend, we thought we would just do something with the girls and Tyler,� said Davis. “We didn’t do anything for Mother’s Day, so this is like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day combined.� “I’m excited for the outdoor adventures without the accompaniment of the men and being able to do it ourselves,� added Farnes.

The most rewarding part of the weekend was the smile on the faces of the children as they took part in activities they normally wouldn’t, particularly Qwentin Conder’s when he caught his first fish.

Without Outdoor Adventures, memorable weekends like this one would not be possible. “I’m glad they do stuff like this,� said Davis. “It’s like it was (all) preplanned.

You didn’t have to do a lot of work into it. We just had to bring our stuff, show up and it was all there for us.�

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

M

arines are known for pushing themselves to the limits, whether it be in training, preparing for their next fitness test or just keeping up with the everyday stresses of the Corps. But not many people can say they push themselves as far as the team of bodybuilders aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Sweating until there’s nothing left, lifting until the muscles in their bodies can barely push out the last rep, maintaining proper nutrition and constantly staying hydrated is only a small portion of the team’s daily routine.

The team consists of Master Sgt. Demetrius A. Crofts, staff noncommissioned officer in charge for the Infantry Squad Leader Course at the Advanced Infantry Training Battalion; Staff Sgt. D.J. Snyder, motor transport chief with 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division; Staff Sgt. Timothy Mooney, motor transport operations chief with 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment; Staff Sgt. Christopher Holmes, academic specialist with School of Infantry East Academics and Kate Judy, wife of Staff Sgt. Christopher Judy.

Recently, four of the five bodybuilders competed in a local competition held in Wilmington.

Crofts took fourth place in the men’s over 40 category, Snyder took first place in the novice category, Holmes took first place in the super heavy weight category and Judy took second place in the women’s category.

While many consider bodybuilding a sport, any bodybuilder will say that it’s much more than just that – it’s a lifestyle.

“It’s the ultimate challenge and probably one of the most recognized forms of self-discipline,” said Crofts. “It’s definitely one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done or taken up. It’s just having the self-discipline and willpower to know that you have one more set or rep (left), but still being carb depleted and pushing through it.”

Many of their days consist of waking up at 3:30 a.m. just to prepare for the gym, making sure they get in a good meal and get their minds right for the next workout they’re about to attack. They arrive to the gym by 4:30 and workout for about an hour and a half, sometimes including cardio.

After working a full day with everyone else, most of them head back to the gym to get in their second bout of cardio or weightlifting and run through posing sessions to prepare for their next competition.

“A lot of times, I’ll come in at 3 a.m. to do whatever workout I have planned for the day and then do a six-mile hump with the students,” said Croft.

Snyder, who began lifting with Crofts in November of last year, has now been involved in bodybuilding for five months.

Starting at 128 pounds, his goal weight was 185.

He now weighs 172.

“I’m constantly eating,” said Snyder. “You’re talking 12 to 16 hard boiled eggs a day, three cans of tuna, four pieces of steak or chicken, ground beef, a pound of yogurt a day and two gallons of water.”

All of that is just to put on the weight, but when preparing for a competition, they start depleting to show off the most amount of muscle definition.

During depletion, the team eats all clean food: broccoli, greens, ground turkey, ground chicken, tilapia, chicken breast and begins consuming less and less water, eventually only eating ice cubes when necessary.

“I tell them a couple days out how much longer

5B

they have to cheat,” said Crofts. “After that, no more pizza, no more beer and I can’t have my honeybun every Saturday.”

While gaining and dropping weight rapidly and often, this elite team also has to keep up with Marine Corps standards.

“I put on 42 pounds, and I recently had to run a Marine Corps (physical fitness test),” said Snyder. “I don’t know too many bodybuilders that are within Marine Corps standards as far as making weight, but they come in as far as their body-fat percentages. I was nine pounds over at my last weigh-in and (the command) wanted to tape me, but I went and ran my (personal fitness test) and I outdid everyone with a 298.”

They not only train for appearance, but also ability.

“I’m an (infantryman) from day one,” said Crofts.

“I look around the Marine Corps and there’s Marines with hurt backs, hurt legs. There’s a proper form and a proper technique to every lift, so if I’m going to lift up an ammo can or a crate of ammo, I’m going to do the same thing, whereas other Marines are going to bend over and fling it up and next thing you know, they’re throwing their back out.”

Being Marines and bodybuilders also gives this team the opportunity to give their junior Marines something to look up to.

“When I was a corporal, I didn’t really have anyone to look up to that was in great shape,” said Crofts. “I’ve had Marines come up to me after class and ask me ‘Can you help me with this?’ or ‘I’m preparing for (Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command), what should I be doing to train?’”

But most importantly, discipline is the greatest thing any bodybuilder can gain. Discipline gives them the ability to inch toward their goals every day and turn their bodies into the works of art they have created.

SOFTBALL FROM 3B just seemed to run out of energy against MCCSSS. After taking an early 4-1 lead, they were able to hold on until the sixth, when the corpsmen just couldn’t seem to find a way to get the batters out. But, the rough end to their tournament did not take away from everything the team had accomplished.

“We just absolutely ran out of gas,” said Williams. “(But, I’m still) very proud. Since 2007, we’ve won two base championships and several tournaments.

(Last year) was a dry year for us. (With) a runner-

up (trophy), now we get some more hardware. We were a rebuilding team (this year) and this just gives us more confidence to play (well) next year.”

But in the end, 2011 has belonged to MCCSSS, as far as softball is concerned. Their softball team finished without a blemish, never losing a game during the intramural softball season or the Midnight Madness Softball Tournament.

They can now proudly display both trophies on Camp Johnson for all to see, and that is something no one can take away. “(It feels) amazing,”

their hearts out and they earned it.”

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. CLASSIC FROM 1B supports wounded U.S. service members, their families, and families of the fallen” whose goal is “to enhance quality of life for U.S. service members and their families nationwide who have been adversely affected by injuries or death in the line of duty,” according to their website.

The Museum of the Marine, which is a project a decade in the making, looks to honor Marines from the Carolinas and the contributions and sacrifices of those Marines, their units and their families.

“It’s going to be the keystone property in the Lejeune Memorial Gardens,” said retired Lt. Col. David Brown, the head of 2nd Marine Division Association. “We’re going to build a 40,000 sq. ft. building there and it’s going to be one of the main features for Jacksonville and Onslow County. So people who come to watch these young Marines graduate from school will be able to come by the museum. It’s going to tell the history of the Marines in the Carolinas since 1941. So (the Military Golf Classic) means a lot to me because this is a very successful event, our first golf tournament.”

“There are a lot of benefits for the city of Jacksonville,” Brown said. “Number one, it’s going to enhance the tourist features, (such as) restaurants and hotels.

Number two, it’s going to be a place for Onslow County schools to (take) their students to see the history (of the Corps). There’s (also) a civic enhancement. You can think of Jacksonville as a classy place. This is just one more enhancement with it.”

“As soon as we get the Museum of the Marines built, it’s going to be a cornerstone that will attract people here,” added retired Maj. Gen. Robert Dickerson. “It’s going to give them a centerpiece. It’s going to give all of Onslow County, specifically Jacksonville, something to go out and showcase with, so it’ll be a draw.”

Golfers at the Military Golf Classic were split into teams of four to compete in the tournament. The team of Rob Beale, Ryan Lukadoo, Tim Wright and Chris Tauract won the event by shooting a 56. Coming in second was the foursome of Jason Doores, Skip Brinson, Hack Orr and Bob Mullett. The team of Todd Blum, Ivy Conekin, Tom Duty and Josh Hardin finished third.

The event also had longest drive and closest to the hole competitions. Julie Brown and Tom Duty took home the longest drive awards while Charles Macintosh and Jerry Minix won the closest to the pin award on holes eight and 16, respectively.

“It’s very encouraging to know we have the support of the community behind us for this effort,” said Gombar. “Some of us have been at this – building the museum – for some time now and it’s good to know we have the community behind us … This community has always supported its Marines and sailors and the Museum of the Marine is going to be a tourist attraction, it’s going to bring jobs to the area and it’s going to be a destination for tourism, so the community I think is behind us and recognizes that … It means a lot to the community.”

Both the Museum of the Marine and Hope for the Warriors have additional events coming up in the near future, as well. The Museum of the Marine has a gala auction scheduled for this September that they are still seeking donations for, while Hope for the Warriors is now counting down until their 9/11 Hope Memorial Weekend and Scarlet and Gold Classic golf tournament.

But Friday, the focus was on something else altogether. It was about golfing for a worthy cause and trying to help fellow Marines, both now and in the long-term.

“My golf game was a winner (today) because it was taking care of the wounded kids,” Dickerson said.

Firefighters hone skills with high angle, confined space training PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK M i Marine C Corps B Base C Camp Lejeune

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune firefighters practice extraction missions during an annual high-angle and confined-space training at the Fire Department Training Area aboard the base, June 15. Fire Stations Two, Five and Six, to include engine and truck company, participated in their annual high-angle and confined-space training.

h e n buildings unexpectedly collapse, people caught off-guard inside can find themselves trapped in a life-threatening situation. But special teams of firefighters stand by ready for action, to respond and apply their specialized rescue training if a situation like this were to occur.

To stay prepared, firefighters with high-angle and confined-space teams from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Fire Stations Two, Five and Six, to include engine and truck company, participated in their annual high-angle and confinedspace training at the base Fire Department Training Area, June 15.

“We bring in a source from outside to teach us the specialized training because there are significant points to this training that keep us safe as well as the people we’re going to (rescue),” said

Glenn Zurek, assistant chief with Marine Corps Fire and Emergency Services Divi Division, Camp L Lejeune. i MCB C j Members of Urban HighAngle Rescue Training from Philadelphia and East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, visited the base to teach the 48-hour course and refresh the firefighters on the training, ensuring that their skills never rust.

Urban H.A.R.T. Rescue kicked off the training with about eight hours of class time, covering topics such as knot-tying methods, equipment checks, hazard assessments and scaling and repelling techniques.

After the classroom review the teams geared up and started the practical application, covering both high-angle and confined-space training drills.

“We work high-angle and confined space-training together,” said Zurek. “The reason why we do that is because we use various different types of rope-rigging techniques that can be used in both types of training. Different techniques are used for multiple situations such as scaling down the side of buildings or pulling a person through pipes.”

With more than 13 different types of knots and ties, knowing when and how to use each be diffi difficult. h type can b l “It’s just a matter of relearning your techniques so that you can do it in both horizontal and vertical planes, because they work hand-inhand with one another,” explained Zurek.

Another key part of having firefighters trained with these skills is the fact that the base is starting to expand in the number and size of buildings it has. Having personnel trained to operate rescue missions, if needed, is essential.

“We’re getting to the point now, where sometimes the height that a person goes is beyond our highest ladder, which is a 104-foot platform device,” said Zurek. “Anything above that we can’t reach, so we have to do it another way, which would be climbing up to the top of the (structure) and using rope techniques to descend upon the person being rescued to do what we call a ‘pick-off’ and lower them down to safety.”

The base has numerous construction sites and structures, such as radio towers that would require special SEE FIREFIGHTERS 2C

Naval medicine advocate praises NHCL staff SGT. BRYAN A. PETERSON

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

On March 5, 2010, while conducting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan, Capt. Matthew Kutilek’s life would change forever.

While on patrol in Laki, Garmsir District, an enemy sniper sighted in on one of Kutilek’s Marines. However, the enemy’s high velocity round strayed just inches away from his Marine’s face below him and struck Kutilek’s right leg. Kutilek immediately dropped on top of one of his corpsmen, and without hesitation, the corpsman immediately applied a tourniquet to stop the blood loss. The round

severed his tibia bone, two out of three arteries, took out half of his calf muscle and nine centimeters of his tibia nerve – all open compound – and resulted in massive amounts of blood loss.

With his life in serious doubt, Kutilek was medically evacuated to a Forward Resuscitative Surgery System at Forward Operation Base Dwyer for further lifesaving treatment, then to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany before ending up at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., for the next eight months of treatment that he said, “Is the best medicine” he has ever received. In fact, he said he would, “Take Navy surgeons and doctors over the highest paid civilian doctors

any day of the week.”

Since that horrific day, Kutilek has undergone at least 10 surgeries, more than 90 hours of physical therapy and pain management appointments among many other rehabilitation procedures. With his most recent surgery, doctors removed a 16-inch plate previously placed in his right leg at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, inserted a metal rod and rotated his knee cap back to its normal position at the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in Portsmouth, Va. He wants to let those who have helped him recover know they are appreciated.

On June 16, he told doctors, physicians and nurses how much Navy medicine has

had an impact on his life at a weekly medical meeting at the John Westfield building on the campus of Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. He did so at the invitation of his pain management doctor and friend, Cmdr. Jerry Foltz.

Not suspecting anything besides another weekly Power Point, Navy medical staff members were honored by the words of Kutilek.

“There’s a running joke about Navy medicine,” said Kutilek, as he opened his speech. “It’s the lowest bidder, the cheap alternative to real medicine, which is off base.

The fact is, if it weren’t for naval medicine, you’d be talking to a dead man.”

911 Center North Carolina Corpsmen celebrate history keeps Lejeune area covered WILMINGTON, N.C.

SGT. BRYAN A. PETERSON

Holding a roster straight out in front of his eyes, Petty Officer 1st Class Jason Houchin reads, “HM1 Peterson?” Petty Officer 1st Class Thomas Peterson replies, “Present!” Houchins sounds off again, “HA Terrazas?” Seaman Apprentice Jesus Terrazas yells, “Present!” Again, Houchins sounds off, “HM1 Gonzalez?” Louder, he yells, “HM1 Gonzalez?” Then, softly, “HM1 Gonzalez?” A corpsman then walks up to place a set of dog tags around on the inverted M-16A2 service rifle inside a pair of combat boots, with a kevlar helmet sitting atop the buttstock of the rifle. He salutes, and then walks into formation. The dog tags represent Petty Officer 1st Class Gonzalez, who gave his life during a time of war.

Referred to as Last Roll Call, the time-honored tradition of commemorating fallen comrades echoed throughout the downtown streets of Wilmington, N.C., as nearly 350 sailors from all Marine Corps tenant commands in North Carolina celebrated their 113th Corpsman Birthday Ball, in a fitting way, aboard the Henrietta III riverboat, June 17.

Dating back to June 17, 1898, when President William McKinley approved the creation of hospital corpsmen as a result of imminent danger of combat in the Spanish-American War, more than 2,000 corpsmen have given the ultimate sacrifice, with at least 30 since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Retired Maj. Gen. Ray L. Smith, the guest of honor, has an affinity for corpsmen. He recalled one of his corpsman, Petty Officer 3rd Class Michael Thirkettle and his selfless acts during an enemy ambush in Vietnam.

“When I was lieutenant, we were on patrol in Con Thien, Vietnam, when we suddenly received heavy enemy fire from the North Vietnamese,” said Smith. “In the process of giving aid to a wounded Marine, Doc Thirkettle was shot in the leg, but still continued to run across the field during a hail of fire to provide medical assistance to two other Marines while also getting shot twice more. When the Marine he was currently tending to was shot, he threw himself on top of him to shield him from more enemy fire. He was killed in the process. He was one of my best. I love corpsmen and I love you guys.”

The Navy, much like the rest of the military services, celebrates its history once a year, but its corpsmen also celebrate their history as a reminder of who they are and what they signed up to do.

“We are the most decorated (military occupational specialty) in the military,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Shannon Pretty, the leading petty officer for surgical services, Naval

Hospital Camp Lejeune and also the president of the 1st Class Petty Officer Association, which was responsible for this year’s corpsman ball. “We save people’s lives on a daily basis.

Marines can’t go into the fight without us. It’s important to recognize what we do and those who have gone before us.”

Peterson, the medical board coordinator for NHCL, said the corpsman ball is not only a great way to recognize those who have gone before them, but also to help reaffirm the new corpsmen coming to the Fleet.

“I brought out Maj. Gen. Smith to this year’s 113th Corpsman Ball to let the new corpsmen hear it from someone else outside our field,” said Peterson. “A lot of them are misguided.

They need to know that they won’t just take care of sailors, but they will also be taking care of a lot of Marines too.”

Peterson recalled when he walked into a recruiter’s office before he joined the Navy. He walked into the Marine Corps office and told them he wanted to be a Marine Corps medic.

“They laughed at me,” said Peterson. “But they pointed me in the right direction. It took me five years to get to the Marine Corps side, and it was worth it. I am glad to be a corpsman, glad to have served with Marines in combat. Celebrating our history like this is what it’s all about.”

“It can be stressful,” Angela Wade started to say about her job before the phones started chirping at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune 911 Emergency Consolidated Communications Center. She turned to answer the call. After she finished, she turned back.

“You have to be able to multitask.”

Wade is a 911 dispatcher. Along with 13 other dispatchers, two supervisors and a director, she answers phones and dispatches fire, police and emergency medical personnel to scenes of danger aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River and the other satellite facilities.

The center gets hundreds of calls daily and well over 100,000 in a year. Some of them are hang ups. Others are people trying to dial off-base numbers from a base phone, which requires users to press 99 before the actual phone number. A little more than a third of the calls are the people who really need 911.

“Camp Lejeune 911. What’s the address of the emergency or eagle eye report?” Wade asked into her headpiece at 10:14 a.m. and eight seconds, June 20.

The location was in Lejeune’s French Creek area. Some hydraulic fluid was spilled. Wade asked the necessary questions required by law, meanwhile, Amanda Scott and Sheryl Ripley, also dispatchers, worked by her side.

By 10:14 a.m. and 18 seconds, Scott and Ripley had dispatched the fire department and Provost Marshal’s Office. Six minutes later, the personnel were on scene.

“It’s a very good system,” said Wade. “We work together as a team. Teamwork is very important here.”

Doug Grafton, a supervisor for the center, said that callers often don’t understand why they are being asked a lot of questions. They just want to hear that help is on the way.

“People do strange things when they’re under stress,” he said. “They don’t understand that it’s a two-prong attack. While one person is asking them SEE 911 2C

Environmental Division earns two SecNav environmental awards CPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURN

T

he Installations and Environment Depar tment’s Environmental Management Division aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune received two 2010 Secretary of the Navy Environmental Awards for success in the categories of natural resources conservation and installation restoration.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced the winners of the Fiscal Year FIREFIGHTERS FROM 1C rescue capabilities.

Firefighters risk their lives scaling six-story buildings and crawling into pitch black tunnels to save people who have been trapped and sometimes injured. If it were a real rescue mission, firefighters may have to deal with hazardous materials and gasses released.

“The issues that play a role in how successful a rescue is can depend on the tightness of the space, how bad the victim is, the fatigue on rescuers going in and the amount of training they’ve received,” said John Parker, vice president of Urban H.A.R.T. Rescue. “There’s a lot that goes on during a rescue.”

Federal regulations prevent firefighters from taking part in these missions unless they are trained. There are only three teams aboard MCB Camp Lejeune trained to proficiently execute these operations and the knowledge is passed to other firefighters even if they

2010 SECNAV Awards competition, recently.

“Your impressive accomplishments and steadfast dedication to a greener future are exactly what’s important in the Navy and Marine Corps leadership teams,” said Mabus in All Navy Message 020/11.

The SECNAV Environmental Awards Program recognizes Navy and Marine Corps individuals, teams, ships and installations for exceptional environmental stewardship.

“I’m thoroughly impressed by the effort and professional expertise the Navy and Marine Corps personnel expend in their environmental improve-

ment endeavors,” said Len Mediavilla, a returning environmental awards judge.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has a proud tradition of outstanding natural resources management and restoration, and these most recent awards show constant improvement in that regard.

According to Charity Rychak, the installations restoration program manager, these awards demonstrate great teamwork between the installation staff and the operational forces in working toward sound environmental management, a vital component of ensuring MCB Camp Lejeune’s future as a valuable training

haven’t received the training. In this case, the teams from Fire Stations Two, Five and Six are the core groups receiving the training and will act as subject matter experts who will then teach and supplement other teams with the training to better prepare every firefighter.

“Things never go according to plan, because we don’t know when or how long a structure can hold up or how the person trapped will react,” said Parker.

“We can plan the entry but from that point on anything can happen. That’s why we have a guy suited up on standby in case they have to go in and save another firefighter.”

Urban H.A.R.T. Rescue members critique and evaluate everything the firefighters do to ensure that their skills are well-tuned for such high risk operations.

“They have to be proficient in everything otherwise they can’t be part of the team,” said Parker.

MEDICINE FROM 1C Kutilek described his corpsman’s quick, 30-second reaction that saved his life. He said if the corpsman waited another 20 seconds, he would have died.

“It really irritates the life out of me when I hear people talk like that about Navy medicine,” said the Bronze Star Medal with Valor recipient. “These people obviously never have received any treatment from the Navy, or let alone military, because if they did, they would have a totally different opinion. They’re ignorant.”

Kutilek believes he can talk about the positive aspects of naval medicine in good faith, as he has encountered, according to his medical records, everything from neurologists and physical therapists to X-ray technicians to podiatrists. He even can attest to the delivery rooms as he and his wife have three daughters. He believes he has received a Navy hospital’s virtual tour since he’s been injured.

Kutilek knows medical staff not only have the stress of saving lives and giving sound medical advice to their patients, but also, as he described the stress of “unappreciative patients,” is not something they should focus on.

“Don’t focus on those who give you all a black eye,” said Kutilek. “Instead, focus on those who have great attitudes, ones you’ve developed a relationship with.”

Kutilek feels Navy medical staff goes far beyond what is required of them. His wife was eight months pregnant with their third child when he was wounded, and during the course of his recovery, doctors consoled his wife as she felt the pain as well. He said those things were just as consoling to him.

“In addition to the top-notch medical care you all provide, do one more thing,” said Kutilek. “There are Marines who come from abusive backgrounds, broken homes. Give them preferential treatment. Don’t just be their doctor or therapist, be their friend and help them

and mobilization base.

The Environmental Management Division’s three separate branches are responsible for the protection of current and future training capabilities by respecting and maintaining the natural environment of MCB Camp Lejeune.

The environmental compliance branch provides the installation with pollution prevention programs, recycling and composting initiatives, asbestos control, hazardous waste material collection and disposal plans and spill response systems, all the while ensuring the division’s operations are all in accordance with county, state and fed-

911 FROM 1C questions, another has already dispatched fire, PMO or EMS.” The center is faced by two hurdles in their day-to-day operations, aside from the inherent stresses such as trying to tell someone over the phone how to perform CPR. One problem faced by the center is the over-abundance of calls that do not require 911.

“Some folks utilize it more as a 411 than a 911,” said Daren Lowe, the call center’s director. “Basically, if it’s life limb, property or security, call 911. Other things—Is the base open today? What’s the number for the visitor center? When is my traffic court date?—I could give you a lot of examples of when not to call.”

There is a base information line, 451-1717, and a website, lejeune. usmc.mil, that can be used to find out if roads are closed or gates are open, and the base telephone operator, 451-1113, can be used to find phone numbers.

The other problem is that some people do not realize Camp Leje-

through their tough times. I came from a positive home with parents who are still married to this day. I have a beautiful wife and three beautiful girls. I have a lot to be thankful for.”

He ended his talk for those in his audience with the hope they draw a parallel from a bit of advice he provided a young Navy nurse from his Sunday morning church group who is deploying to the Helmand province. She has never seen combat nor has she ever deployed. She asked him what she should do in country. He didn’t know how to answer her question other than what he experienced.

“Go as far forward as possible, go to the front lines. Volunteer yourself to those who you will serve,” said Kutilek.

“Yes, you will see dead Marines and sailors, you will see wounded Marines, but they will need you. I couldn’t tell how many bruises I left on the nurses’ and doctors’ arms because of the pain I was in. They didn’t care what rank I was … to them, I am a Marine. That’s all that matters to them.”

Those in attendance were completely awe-struck about his experiences and thankful for his kind words.

“Wow,” was all Cmdr. Marnie Buchanan, the head of the Staff Education and Training Department, NHCL, said.

“He’s truly an amazing Marine and person. For him to say all these nice things about what we do really means a lot.”

Navy doctors, nurses and corpsmen all have made an impact on Kutilek and his family. He is an advocate for Navy medicine and for wounded Marines. He is thankful for those who have helped him and his family through the tough times. To Kutilek, it’s not about him.

It’s about those who are still in harm’s way. It’s about the forward-deployed Navy medical personnel and the brave Marines they will make an impact on.

“I am doing my best to be an advocate and voice for wounded Marines and Navy medicine,” said Kutilek. “It’s all about them, not me.”

eral regulations.

The conservation branch is in charge of MCB Camp Lejeune’s threatened and endangered species protection, game and non-game management, wetlands and erosion control, forestry maintenance, cultural and historic resources preservation and conservation law enforcement.

The quality branch is accountable for air quality, waste water and storm water control, noise regulation, cleanup of past disposal sites and the division’s project management.

Coordination between these three branches allowed the division to take both awards.

une has its own, fully-functional 911 call center. Instead, they The new center was completed in 2007 and features state-of-the-art computer-aided dispatch.

Lowe demonstrated the center’s capabilities by walking outside behind the center, which is located in building 58. He dialed 911 from his cell phone. As soon as Wade answered the phone, a black triangular arrow appeared on a map on one of her five screens pinpointing his location. He hung up and called again.

The screen showed him in the parking lot on the right side of the building. The triangle on screen showed him moving to Virginia Dare Drive.

“We get within 10 meters of your location before they even say a word,” Lowe said of the system’s accuracy.

In fact, Camp Lejeune’s center serves as a model for the Marine Corps’ push to standardize all 911 centers throughout the Marine Corps by 2017. It is one of only three full-fledged public safety answering points in the Marine Corps.

The division has received both awards in previous years and takes pride in the continued efforts put forth to make it possible to be awarded them again, said Rychak.

Jackalyne Pfannenstiel, assistant secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations and Environment commended the winners.

“It’s impressive, the lengths these installations go to in order to make environmental stewardship a key pillar in the execution of their day-to-day operations,” said Pfannenstiel. “You are the leaders in the important green culture change required in today’s Navy and Marine Corps leaders.”

All of the personnel working in the center are fully qualified as well.

The dispatchers must have national Emergency Medical Dispatcher training certification every two years, Department of Defense Hazardous Materials Awareness training, CPR, and North Carolina Division Criminal Information certification, and Department of Defense Telecommunications 1 and 2 certificates.

“These folks are the first, first responders,” said Lowe. “They’re talking to the upset mom about her baby she just pulled out of the rubble of a building after a tornado.

They’re talking to the dad trying to deliver his baby on the side of a road. They’re talking to that 8-yearold boy who’s hiding in a closet while his mommy and daddy are in an argument. They’re that person who’s telling you it’s ok and that someone is on the way. They’re that person asking you 15 million questions to get the right response out to you as quickly as possible. A lot of people forget about the person taking the call.”

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

S

ixty-five students of Lejeune High School’s class of 2011 graduated in a ceremony at the Base Theater aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, June 17.

Families and friends filled the seats to watch as their Devil Pups walked across the stage and into a new phase of their lives, however, due to operational commitments, not everyone was able to be there. The parents of 14 students are currently deployed.

With the aid of a local television news station, those service members were able to view the ceremony online. The coverage had been intended to be a live feed, but weather complications caused delays.

Eric Steimel, principal of Lejeune High School, stated that sacrifices such as constantly being on the move or having parents deployed is exactly why he says the students serve as well as the parents.

“Some of their parents have done six, 10 deployments by now,” he explained.

“These kids serve too, and I’m proud of them.”

Besides describing the graduating class as a unique group of characters with vast interests, he also welcomed them into a group of alumni numbering only 5,115 since the school was established in 1945. Steimel is one of those few. He graduated from LHS 31 years ago.

“It’s a very special community and a good place to be,” said Steimel, who has been with the school for more than 18 years. “If I wasn’t going to be back here, I wouldn’t be in education.”

Graduates received their diplomas from one of the ceremony’s guests, Col. Daniel J. Lecce, MCB Camp Lejeune commanding officer. However, that’s not all Lecce was able to give them; he provided some words of advice during the celebratory message.

“There are a lot of books out there on how to be a leader and how to be successful, and they all have one thing in common — they are all expensive,” Lecce said. “So what I figured I’d do is just tell you right here and now — how to be a successful leader.”

Lecce’s sage offering focused on three attributes: being an expert in their craft, energetic and of sound character. He told them he has no doubt that they all have the potential to become successful leaders if they just grabbed it.

‘Super 8’ gives encounter of different kind Now playing in Jacksonville “SUPER 8” (PG-13) “Super 8” is a sciencefiction yarn about kids who witness a train crash while shooting a Super 8 movie.

The story is set in a fictional town in Ohio in 1979, where a group of kids, who are shooting a Super 8 zombie movie, witness a disaster caused by a derailed freight train and suspect foul play.

Shortly after the accident, unusual disappearances and unexplained events around the town begin to take place.

The local deputy investigates the cause of events and tries to uncover the truth, only to discover something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

Kyle Chandler (TV’s “Friday Night Lights,” “The Kingdom,” “King Kong”) stars as Jackson Lamb, the local lawman, who is a grieving widower struggling to raise his 12year-old son, Joe. Appearing as the teen budding moviemakers, are newcomers Riley Griffiths as strong-willed Charles, the obsessive filmmaker and director; Gabriel Basso (TV’s “The Big C”) as Martin, the leading man; Zach Mills (“Changeling”) as Preston, the lighting supervisor; Ryan Lee, as Cary, the camera man and lead zombie; and Joel Courtney as Joe Lamb, Charles’ best and loyal friend, who does the makeup, sound, and special effects for

the film, and who has a crush on the leading lady, rebellious Alice Dainard, played by Elle Fanning (“Reservation Road,” “Astro Boy”).

Co-starring are Ron Eldard (“Freedom Land,” “Diggers”) as Louis Dainard, Alice’s abusive father; and Noah Emmerich (“Pride and Glory,” “Little Children”) as Air Force Col. Nelec.

Writer and director J.J. Abrams (TV’s “Lost” and “Fringe,” “Star Trek,” “Mission Impossible III”) dreamed up this latest fanciful and artsy new thriller and goes in for a close encounter with the help of producer Steven Spielberg.

“Super 8” is a sciencefiction thriller of a different kind and maybe is an unintended homage to Spielberg.

Abrams and Spielberg share their lifelong obsessions and inner children with this somewhat nostalgic movie that is top-notch summer entertainment and could become a pop culture experience, just like the extraterrestrial beloved mystery of “E.T.” The undertaking of this project was a highly-kept secret with few leaks of its content revealed, which makes this film even more mysterious, and I will not take that away from future viewers.

SPECIAL NOTE: Do not storm out of the theater as soon as the credits start rolling. Stay and you can see the finished small zombie film the kids in the movie were shooting.

Swansboro area honors military with free fun day SGT. THOMAS J. GRIFFITH Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

n an effort to show service members their gratitude and to showcase the state park outside of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s front door, the Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerce and Hammocks Beach State Park held their annual Military Appreciation Day at the park, June 18.

Service members and their families were treated to a day of free food and fun.

More than 1,000 people attended to enjoy the day of sun at the park.

Swansboro has been holding the event for about 10 years and has grown with every passing year.

Not only do more service members attend each year, but the chamber constantly looks for more activities to add.

“Our community has so many military members,” said Donna Hammonds, executive director of the chamber. “Some only live here for two or three years and others retire here. We wanted to show our appreciation for what they do. It’s small, but we have big hearts.”

Military Appreciation Day had plenty to offer the families. An inflatable bounce house, climbing wall and water slide were set up and the Swansboro Fire and Police Departments provided static displays of their vehicles.

There were also games and prizes, T-shirt painting and other crafts and exhibits set up by the park.

Service members and their families could also get free ferry rides, which usually cost $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 6 to 12, to Bear Island, which many community members call the “Pearl of Onslow County.”

“The highlight is Bear

Island, a three-mile stretch of pristine beaches,” said Hammonds.

Many families took advantage of the free 15-minute ferry ride to the undeveloped barrier island to swim, fish or just relax. Hammocks Beach State Park generates a lot of return visitors after Military Appreciation Day, said Sarah Bouknight, a park ranger.

“There’s a lot of stuff to do and no one knows about it,” she said. “I’m here year round and lived in the area my whole life, so of course I love it here. The park is a second home to me.”

Cpl. Frank Castanada, a motor transport operator with 5th Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, is one of those who knew nothing of the park before attending the event.

“It’s a pretty day and I wanted to swim,” he explained while waiting for the ferry. “I’ve never been here before and wanted to check it out. I think it’s

a great thing and shows that people care about the military.”

Organizations that offer services to service members and veterans, such as Museum of the Marine, Second Wind Eco Tours and Yoga and Heroes on the Water, set up booths to provide information on those services.

For all of the fun, recently-retired Chief Warrant Officer 3 Jeff Price, incoming chairman of the chamber’s Military Affairs Committee, said Military Appreciation Day served an even deeper purpose.

“It bridges the gap between the local civilian populace and the military community,” he said. “You always wonder whether Americans appreciate the hardships and when you come back and see events like this, it’s a big morale booster. It’s good for everyone.”

The day was made possible by droves of volunteers and donations from around the community.

Take texts in stride New to Me with Amy Binkley

I

Autocorrect can save you at times, but it won’t hesitate on hanging you out to dry either.

There is a significant difference in getting suspenders and getting suspended.

Carolina Living editor

love text messages.

The thumbtyped little notes are the quickest way to send a small amount of information with the least amount of obstacles.

They cut out the hassle of having to call, conduct small-talk to segue into your true intent and wade through unnecessary details to get your answers.

They are straightforward, to the point and easy.

Plus, I think emoticons are the funniest things ever.

Texting may be one of the best parts of smart phone technology; the informal conversation tidal wave came on so fast that no one really had time to ponder proper etiquette.

Sure, it’s nice to have the ability to send a friendly shout out letting someone know you’re thinking of them without making some sweeping, grand gesture, but the trend is changing our culture, interactions and even our language.

Society is an everevolving innovation, and people must somewhat adapt to the transition or be left behind.

However, putting aside manners for convenience is not the kind of transformation we need to have.

We all know that service members are held to a higher a standard.

While it may not seem fair, to the rest of the country, you are the representatives of all we stand for.

Minding your manners goes far beyond thank you notes and addressing people properly.

I would be content teaching teenagers that

texting their parents from upstairs is rude and lazy. However, I take it as a personal mission to inform you, my readers, how to be civilized adults in a technologically advanced world that encourages you to act like cavemen and women.

After some research, this is what I’ve learned about the correct texting and phone usage behavior.

First, always remember that you control your phone, not the other way around.

I sincerely worry for those people who walk around with their Bluetooth connected at all times.

You know the kind I’m talking about. They’re the ones who think they look cool when they touch their ear to answer a call but in reality it just looks like they’re talking to themselves.

I assure you Armageddon will not come if you miss a call or text. Break the connection sometime and take in the world around you. It’s not such a bad place.

That being said, when you do inevitably use your phone for whatever reason, be careful and be aware.

Make sure you’re sending your message to the right person.

Your mother doesn’t need to read a romantic accolade meant for your spouse. It could get very awkward, very quickly.

Along those lines, don’t send anything private, confidential or potentially embarrassing through a text.

Today’s headlines are full of scandals caused by inaccurate beliefs that what is assumed to be

private will stay private.

This is also a reason to check and double check your spelling and grammar before you blast your verbage into the atmosphere.

Autocorrect can save you at times, but it won’t hesitate on hanging you out to dry either. There is a significant difference in getting suspenders and getting suspended.

Remember, once you hit send, you can’t take it back.

Finally, don’t forget the whole purpose for texting is for quick, casual conversations.

Delivering bad news, big news or anything of importance via text is almost always unwise.

Your close friends don’t want to find out you’re engaged through a short, nondescript message. At least give them the courtesy of a phone call.

Also, because of the casual nature of this form of communication, you can’t freak out if you don’t receive a reply right away.

I am more guilty of this than I’d care to admit.

The beauty of texts is that the receiver can choose to respond at his or her leisure. You surrender your right for an immediate response when you waived the option of calling.

Trust me, if it’s an emergency, it’s much better to dial a number or click a contact.

Communication is always key to any relationship – romantic, friendly or otherwise.

Just remember to keep things in perspective, know your audience and don’t become a victim of autocorrect.

Chaplain’s Corner

We only have one life to live: Enjoy it LT. QUINESA BROWN

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Have you really forgiven?

At some point in our lives, we have all felt wronged by someone in one way or another. We may feel that our efforts to help have gone unappreciated or even taken for granted. In the meantime, we blame ourselves for being caught up in certain situations.

The hurt that we sometimes suffer from, due to this mistrust, leaves us angry and discouraged, and many times puts a wedge between the relationships of all parties involved.

What we must remember is, regardless of the circumstances, we must forgive. Forgiving someone for their wrong doing against us is a process. For some, this process may take longer than for others; in some instances, the mistrust is hard to get over. But, if we ever want to move past the bitterness it has caused us, we must forgive. If we don’t allow ourselves the opportunity to forgive, we rob ourselves of inner peace and contentment. Bitterness destroys us

and our relationships when dealing with others. Sooner or later we tend to base our decision making and relationships upon previous hurts, and we lose out on some of life’s great opportunities.

Scripture teaches us, “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you” (Matt. 18:15). Sometimes letting the other individual know personally that they have caused us pain opens the door to reconciliation. Taking such an approach keeps us watchful against sin in our own hearts. Whether or not the other person chooses to acknowledge their wrong doings does not matter. We still are obligated to live at peace with everyone.

The main thing for us to realize is that we should never let anything or anyone steal our joy. We only get one life - how we choose to live it is our choice and responsibility.

Just keep in mind that our heavenly father who died to forgive us for our sins expects us to forgive others. We should always seek God’s example in troubling times.

GRADUATION FROM 1D Graduating seniors demonstrated some of those aspects and their strong sense of community when they gave a couple of gifts to the school. They left behind a banner to be used in future graduations, donated $999 to Project Graduation, contributed to the purchase of new trophy cases and left the remainder of their treasury funds to the incoming freshman class.

The ambitious graduates are headed off to colleges around the country. At least 11 of the graduates are following the footsteps of their parents and joining the military.
