On October 11, 2010, Marines with 81mm mortar platoon, Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, lost one of their brothers.

Sgt. Frank Zaehringer, a squad leader, died of wounds he sustained when an improvised explosive device detonated near a patrol he was leading through Helmand province’s Marjah District.

“He was like a father fig-

ure to me,” said Cpl. Zackery P. Haglund a team leader with Weapons Co. “He knew his Marines really well, and he wasn’t scared of anything.

Whenever there was a firefight, he always led towards it.”

The Marines of Zaehringer’s platoon decided to honor him by firing an 81mm illumination mortar on the day of their loss.

Each member of the platoon signed the mortar, and fired it downrange to light the battlefield where the beloved Marine had fallen.

“As soon as we came back

from the site (where Zaehringer died), we walked in the patrol base and went straight to the mortar tube,” said Gunnery Sgt. Christopher Fisher, Zaehringer’s platoon sergeant.

“We got it cleared through battalion to fire the illumination round, so we passed it around, signed it, and sent it downrange over where he died,” Fisher explained.

Fisher and his Marines wanted to bring the mortar shell home to Zaehringer’s family, so they made a point to search for it during every patrol.

“We still had about threeand-a-half months left on the deployment,” said Fisher. “Every time we went outside the wire we tried to look for that shell casing.”

The platoon hunted for the casing at every opportunity, but to no avail. They left Afghanistan with only memories of an outstanding Marine.

“We couldn’t find it; we found other shell casings but we couldn’t find that one whenever we went outside the wire,” said Fisher. “We checked SEE MEMORIAL 11A

Camp Lejeune Marines Utilities Equipment utilize air support during Repairer course returns to Camp Lejeune Exercise Mailed Fist CPL. ANDREW JOHNSTON 2nd Marine Division

The II Marine Expeditionary Force and 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing kicked off a large-force training operation, dubbed Exercise Mailed Fist June 18.

Marines with 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, participated in the initial aerial assault phase of the operation which in turn began their week-long training operation.

“As part of Exercise Mailed Fist, 2nd MAW made a lot of their aircraft available to help support the division,” Capt.

Scot A. Foster, air operations officer, 2/8, said. “The operation is giving us a largescale training opportunity to see how well different elements of the Marine Corps can function as whole.”

The battalion staged three different companies for the assault. Four 2nd MAW squadrons, using MV-22B Ospreys and CH-53E Super Stallions, transported the Marines to various landing zones aboard the base. UH-1N Hueys and AH1W Cobras from Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 467 provided oversight as waves Marines of dashed toward the aircrafts for transportation.

“This is a pretty rare occurrence so we’re very lucky to be able to take advantage of this,” Foster said. “Usually when platoons move your talking only two helicopters; here were utilizing up to 10 aircraft to move nearly 500 Marines in three

different waves.”

According to Foster, the exercise is the largest of its kind in nearly 10 years. He said the battalion wanted to employ 2nd MAW’s support to its fullest potential which is why they planned 2/8’s field exercise when they did.

“Any time these Marines can get on helicopters and do missions is a great benefit,” Foster said. “Just exposure to the different aircraft and utilizing them for these types of drills is huge - it builds confidence.”

The remainder of the battalion’s week-long field exercise consisted of live-fire combat movement rehearsals, scouting and patrolling, Military Operations in Urbanized Terrain, simulated causality drills and motorized and mechanized attacks.

The battalion is slated for a deployment to Afghanistan next year and has several other training events scheduled in the near future. Foster said the unit has numerous combat veterans who are working hard to pass their knowledge to the new Marines coming on board—“This aerial movement is just one of the things we’re doing to stay prepared,” Foster said.

“We’re going to continue to train to conventional standards and maintain our readiness,” Foster said. “We’re going to maintain that expertise to execute a high state of readiness. Every month, we’re updating everything so we will be ready to go at a moment’s notice.”

On June 22, eight Marines became the last class of Utilities Equipment Repairers to graduate from the U.S. Army Ordnance School. While the ceremony represented the end of a 17-year joint Army/Marine endeavor, it signified the beginning of a new level of training for the Marines.

“It’s a big day today, but not just because these Marines are graduating, it is the last graduation we will have on Fort Lee,” said John Labriola, former course chief, and one of the original instructors who stood up the course at the new Ordnance School.

During the mid 1990’s, the Department of Defense consolidated training locations for the military as a way to reduce costs. As part of that initiative, the U.S. Marine Corps’ Utilities Equipment Repairer Course moved to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., to join the U.S. Army in joint training.

As the Marine Corps adopted its own unique equipment to serve its mission as an expeditionary force in readiness, the need for a field training site and training with other Marine engineer specialties was identified. After consideration, it was decided to move the course back to where it originated from; Courthouse Bay, a small camp outlying Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C. While the move to Camp Lejeune was being approved and facilities prepared, the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure initiative moved the Army and Marine Corps courses to Fort Lee SEE COURSE 11A

President announces new immigration procedures President Obama and Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano, announced June 15 some people unlawfully in the United States will not face deportation and may be eligible for a two-year employment authorization document. The President advised these new procedures do not confer citizenship or legal permanent residency status; they provide at least temporary relief from deportation to people who were brought into this country as children and, in many cases, have known no home other than the United States. The President expressed a desire for Congress to pass legislation providing such people with a path to citizenship.

To be eligible, applicants must meet all of the following criteria: - Arrival in the United States prior to attaining the age of 16.

- Residence within the United States for at least five years prior to June 15, 2012.

- Presence in the United States June 15.

- Are currently in school, graduated from high school, obtained a general education development certificate, or are honorably discharged veterans of the Coast Guard or U.S. armed forces.

- Have no conviction of a felony, no “significant” misdemeanor offense and not convicted of multiple misdemeanor offenses.

- Pose no threat to national security or public safety.

- Not be above the age of thirty.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service was given sixty days to implement the new directive. USCIS warns people should not submit any application before implementing instructions are issued as they will be rejected.

Unfortunately, experience demonstrates new products, services and procedures often give rise to new opportunities for scam artists as well.

For example, the most recent previ-

ous article warned of scam artists pretending to be involved with government foreclosure avoidance programs. Accordingly, people should be especially careful in seeking assistance navigating these new immigration procedures.

Additional information is available from the USCIS and ICE hotlines at 1-800-375-5283 and 1-888-351-4024 respectively, or on the web at www. uscis.gov. Assistance is also available from the immigration specialist at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune legal assistance office in building 66 on Holcomb Boulevard. The office takes up to 10 immigration walk-ins in the morning and another 10 in the afternoon each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, barring federal holidays.

Persons wishing to consult the legal assistance immigration section may do so by arriving at the office between 7:30 and 10 a.m. for morning consult or 12:30 and 3 p.m. for an afternoon consult. First come, first served.

Click It or Ticket The North Carolina Governor’s Highway Safety Program called “Click It or Ticket” began in 1993 and became the national model for an enforcement and education campaign of the same name operated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The campaign’s goal is to increase seat belt and child restraint awareness. During the “Click It or Ticket” campaign, which ended June 3, state and local law enforcement officers increased seat belt enforcement activities and cracked down on motorists who were not wearing their seatbelts.

North Carolina, like the majority of the other states, has a “Primary Seat Belt Law” which allows law enforcement officers to issue a safety belt citation without observing another offense.

During the two week campaign, there were checkpoints and saturation patrols in every N.C. County, and 404 law enforcement agencies participated. The campaign stressed strict enforcement of seat belt and restraint laws, the side effects were also apparent netting not only 11,471 occupant restraint charges, but other traffic and criminal charges such as DWI, drug violations, speeding, fugitive apprehensions, etc. Total traffic and criminal violations totaled 88,086 in the state.

Wearing your seatbelt costs you nothing, not wearing it could cost you everything. Make the right decision and buckle up every time you’re in a motor vehicle.

Which war for our independence do you think was more important: the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812?

The War of 1812 was able to be fought in the water with naval capabilities and goods were blockaded for Americans.

Revolutionary War was fought mainly on land and the U.S. got assistance from other countries. So I would say War of 1812.

Justin N Elizabeth Lachney

American Revolution secured our independence while the often over-looked War of 1812 ensured our autonomy and distinct separation from the British Empire.

Rhonda Tomlinson

Without the Revolution, there (wouldn’t have been a) War of 1812. Therefore, the Revolution had to be the most important.

The Revolution taught we had the right to be free from internal British control, the War of 1812 taught we had the right to be free from external British control. While indeed true the Revolution was mostly an Army war, and the War of 1812 mostly naval, we had help, directly and indirectly, from other countries. For example, the Battle of New Orleans would never have occurred if Wellington hadn’t beaten Napoleon at Waterloo. Those troops were the ones Britain sent against us at New Orleans. In both wars, Britain never admitted any guilt in the cause, they just simply stopped. Both wars were very close contests, with Americans talking about defeat when the British quit fighting.

Robert Johnson

I don’t care, as long as we won. Wars shouldn’t be called good or bad. Each war has its own purpose; it’s just our job to figure out how to come out on top.

Lance Cpl. Adrian Simone, an infantryman with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, does pull-ups with Marines from his unit. “He’s always been really determined and driven. Now I see him living a normal life,” said Sgt. Bjorn Cantrell, Simone’s section leader during his deployment to Afghanistan. “If he physically can’t do something, he will work every day to be able to do it.”

“I was looking at Simone when it went off and where he was standing was just a big dust cloud,” said Sgt. Bjorn Cantrell.

“Then we heard Simone scream out to us he was hurt.”

The morning of Aug. 24, 2011, began with the Marines of 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, preparing to step out on a blocking mission. They were tasked with protecting engineers along Route 611 in Sangin, Helmand province, Afghanistan, as they repaired a wall damaged by a roadside bomb. Not long after they were in place, Lance Cpl. Adrian Simone, carrying 110 pounds of ammunition, water and equipment – nearly his own bodyweight – stepped on a pressure plate and changed the course of his life indefinitely.

“I was standing over the (improvised explosive device), I bent down and heard a pop, not loud at all, then felt the concussion,” Simone said as he retold his experience.

“There wasn’t any immediate pain. I remember seeing my legs fly off, because they were amputated right there. I came back to and heard the ‘EEEEE’ sound as the dust was settling. I was in a hole and

Lance Cpl. Adrian Simone, (fourth from left) an infantryman with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, stands with Marines from his unit after working out.

Simone mentioned the bond between infantry Marines is unique. “It’s a hard bond to describe, we get wounded together, and we get hurt together,” he said. “You have the pride of being a Marine, but also the extra pride of being part of a close-knit group of guys.”

I knew I had to get out so I started to climb out and realized my muscles were shot. I couldn’t move so I started screaming for help.”

Cantrell, Simone’s squad leader, rushed to his aid, applying tourniquets to his legs alongside squad members Lance Cpl. Cory Mays and Lance Cpl. Pat Sutton. The Marines began to treat him for shock and, when the corpsman arrived, he was given morphine for the pain.

“I was so surprised and then I looked down and saw my legs and they started hurting,” Simone recalled. “There were burns and the smell of seared flesh and homemade explosives. There was a lot going down.”

“That was the most scared I’ve been in my whole life,” mentioned Cantrell. “I was scared I was going to mess things up, and he was going to bleed out. It felt like an eternity. Everyone talks about muscle memory, but I just remember putting the tourniquet on.”

Meanwhile, Simone’s platoon commander received the news one of his Marines had been injured.

“I remember being in the (combat operations center), and we weren’t far away so we heard the explosion,” said Lt. Stephen Grodek. “It hits you like a ton of bricks. You never expect anyone to get hit,

but it’s a huge realization when you hear the explosion, and you hear the call come in and place it to a Marine of yours – it’s a whole new experience.”

He was rushed by helicopter to Landstuhl Region Medical Center in Germany where he stayed briefly before being sent to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., Sept. 1.

His recovery was remarkably quick, driven by his desire to stand and welcome the Marines of 1st Bn., 6th Marines when they returned home from their deployment. He was rock climbing and building upper-body strength within two weeks of arriving at Walter Reed. In a month and a half, he was walking again. He overcame his initial challenges, but there was still a dark obstacle to overcome.

“Getting off drugs was hard; it was the hardest part,” mentioned Simone.

“I needed them because I was in so much pain, and then I got a real dependence on them. My sister told me she saw I had a big dependence on Oxycontin. So I said take it away; I quit cold turkey. Every day I was upset about everything. I had a lot of pain.”

He eventually shook his dependence and started lifting weights. He knew he wanted to make it back to his unit. During

his recuperation, Simone reflected on his time in Afghanistan.

“In Afghanistan, life is simple: you either die that day or you don’t die that day. You just do your job.

When you go to a place like Sangin with a ton of IEDs, you have to put the thought in your mind you might die today. You can’t think about it, you can’t care about it, you just need to do your job. If you step on an IED then well, you step on an IED and hopefully you won’t lose that much. But, it’s a possibility. This is war.”

When given the option to stay in the Marine Corps or be medically separated there was no question in Simone’s mind.

“Getting out was not an option for me, same thing with joining the Marines, if I hadn’t done it, if I had gotten out, I wouldn’t be able to live the rest of my life with myself. I have a pride problem, it’s how I am. I got one taste of winning, and I’m addicted.

I’m not bragging or trying to talk myself up. A lot of guys get out because they lost their legs, I got lucky.

I have both arms working perfectly. I have options and gifts, and I’m still here. If I’m able to walk and run, I’m able to train.

Why wouldn’t I go back to my unit? That’s where I’m needed.”

Simone continues to set the example by striv-

Currently, Simone is going through Corporal’s Course to develop leadership skills and physical fitness. He overcomes any challenge by sheer will and modestly shows the Marines anything is possible.

“He is what the Marine Corps needs in personality, confidence and leadership,” said Grodek. “He is all those things. His dedication to life, his family and the Marine Corps has far surpassed anyone I’ve met.

It leaves me speechless.”

Food service specialists compete for chef of the quarter Caregiving can with Randy Reichler

take its toll

2nd Marine Logistics Group

Four food service specialists with Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group and chefs with Sodexo, a French multinational corporation and the Marine Corps’ main food service provider, participated in a quarterly culinary competition at the Wallace Creek messhall aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune June 18.

The members of each team competed fiercely to earn the top prize of becoming chef of the second quarter for 2012, and the chance to go against winners of the last event to be titled chef of the year.

“Twelve teams from different messhalls across Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point and New River competed for a chance to be here today,” explained Charles James Jr., the area manager for Sodexo. “Only four made it to this competition and one out those four will be chef of the quarter.”

James explained, in order to place for the competition the nominees had to endure a series of tests on food service knowledge and sanitation procedures, as well as various workshops.

Each team was comprised of two members, four Marines with CLR27 who are currently assigned to Messhall 303, and four Sodexo chefs assigned to Messhalls 128 aboard MCB Camp Lejeune and 455 aboard Camp Johnson.

“This is a collective organization between the Marine Corps and Sodexo,” James said. “This is put together mainly by the production managers and the senior (Marine) leaders at every food service location.”

Gunnery Sgt. Morris Mayfield III, the operations chief for Food Service Company, CLR-27, explained the most important part of this competition is not just competing but giving the best effort each member of the team has.

“The major thing here is each individual competing represents their messhall with the best of their abilities,” Mayfield expressed. “During this opportunity we are just fortunate enough to have two teams from our unit competing here representing the entire (2nd MLG).”

The event’s theme required competitors to serve food for a picnic, however, the participants were restricted from serving ribs, chicken, hotdogs or hamburgers to increase the level of difficulty, and to encourage them to think outside the box.

The judges were responsible for evaluating every aspect of the food served by the competitors. Each team’s score was based on cooking fundamentals, composition of dish, overall flavor, seasoning, doneness, timing of service and temperature.

“I think this is a good way to

show how capable and proficient each one of the participants are,” Mayfield concluded.

All four teams received a letter of appreciation for their efforts as food service specialists, but only the first, second and third place teams will be awarded their respective medals and a chef jacket.

The Sodexo team from Messhall 455 took the first place, but the Marines of CLR-27 vowed to return the next quarter for the trophy.

Staff billets introduce experienced Marines to long-range planning CPL. MICHAEL LOCKETT

26th Marine Expeditionary Unit

The transition from a line company, the muscle and sinew of the Marine Corps, to a staff billet, the Corps’ nervous system, can be jarring. Going from overseeing the day-today affairs of more than 200 Marines to planning months ahead is a change of pace.

“I don’t have a platoon or a company anymore. Staff work is not as much small unit preparation and execution,” said Master Sgt. John Collins, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit headquarters commandant. Formerly a company gunnery sergeant, a platoon sergeant, a section leader and a squad leader, Collins’ responsibility is now the maintenance and operation of the facilities from which the 26th MEU operates, be it the command post at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the assault carrier the command element operates on during deployment or a command operations center set up on shore in another country.

There are many ways to explain the difference between a staff billet and a line billet, but the simplest is this: The staff plans, the line executes. “The staff decides what doors to kick in; the line company kicks them in,” said Collins. “(In a line company), it’s more day-to-day and week-toweek. Here, you’re looking months out,” said Capt. Albert Silva, 26th MEU targeting information officer. Silva, former commanding officer of Headquarters Battery, 3rd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, was with artillery for more than four years before coming to the MEU. He went from leading 200

M

IO ISS

Marines to being directly responsible for one: himself.

Indirectly though, he’ll help influence the operations of more than 2,200 Marines, the strength of the fully composited 26th MEU. Silva said, you go from worrying about the details of your Marines – education, life, promotions – to being concerned about getting the job done and supporting the larger unit as a whole.

The transition from the muscle to the gray matter of the Marine Corps can take some adjustment, said Collins.

“The best advice I ever received was the most important aspect of a staff billet was critical thinking. Take care of yourself physically and mentally, get the proper amount of sleep so you’re thinking clearly,” said Collins. Knee-jerk reactions at this level can get Marines killed.

Taking a staff billet can also be a horizon-broadening experience for Marines who have served solely in line units. “You need to broaden your horizons to a larger understanding of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force – how it all intertwines.

You need to understand the staff functions – how your support translates to them meeting their training objectives,” said Silva.

“Coming here opened up my eyes … about how the support we receive at the battalion level gets set up.”

Many people throughout the retired community are caregivers or receive care in one fashion or another. While the caregivers do everything they can to give the best possible care to their injured or ill loved one, they often place their own physical and emotional needs second. After a while neglect of oneself can often lead to physical, emotional or even mental problems.

Caregivers are more at risk for infectious diseases such as colds, flu, and chronic diseases such as heart problems, hypertension, diabetes and cancer. Depression is twice as common among caregivers compared to non-caregivers.

Since many caregivers’ needs come second, this can lead to anger, sadness, isolation and exhaustion. Once these feelings are manifested it is often followed by guilt. Guilt is often associated with the end of a prolonged terminal illness. The caregiver is aware of being relieved of the arduous daily physical tasks, consuming time constraints and care needs of the patient. Even though they did all they could do, they seldom feel it was enough. This can cause monumental guilt, even though it is not warranted.

There are a few things a caregiver can do in order to provide the best care for their loved one and themselves.

Utilizing respite care serves to relieve the caregiver and gives them a chance to pay attention to themselves for a change. Utilize the visiting nurses from Naval Hospital and Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society, or Hospice. A few things caregivers can do for themselves while using these services is scheduled time, including free time, for personal doctor visits, dental and other necessary medical appointments. Allow some time for counseling, meditation, physical exercise, isometrics, yoga or any other form of relaxation to provide a renewal of energy, sense of worth and self esteem.

I have seen people care for a loved one for years, and I feel so much empathy and respect for their dedication and perseverance. The caregiver is a true hero of immeasurable bounds. I often see a person’s demise and soon to follow, the caregiver must then endure sorrow.

As a community, let us do a better job of looking out for the retirees in this area. Offering to sit with the person being cared for will let the caregiver know they are not alone and should care for themselves also. After all, everyone reading this will possibly either become a caregiver or receive care from a loved one before death.

Calendar of Events

The Retiree Town Hall meeting for retirees and family members is scheduled for 10 a.m. July 21 at DAV Hall, 300 Sherwood Road. Congressman Walter Jones and representatives from Sen. Kay Hagan’s office and Rep. Burr’s office will be there to discuss TRICARE Hikes and the Disability Council’s recommendation to offset VA disability with Social Security. This is an essential gathering for retirees and family members.

CLB-6 welcomes new commander CPL. BRUNO J. BEGO 2nd Marine Logistics Group

S

ervice members with Combat Logistics Battalion 6, Combat Logistics Regiment 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group had the opportunity to meet their new commanding officer during a change of command ceremony June 22.

During the ceremony, Lt. Col. Ralph J. Rizzo passed the responsibilities of the battalion to Maj. Brian W. Mullery.

Col. Yori R. Escalante, the CLR-2 commanding officer and the guest speaker at the ceremony, took the chance to recognize Rizzo for his efforts as the battalion commander.

“The biggest thing I can say about Ralph is that he cares,” Escalante expressed. “He cares about the unit and he cares about the individual Marine.”

During his speech, Escalante highlighted Rizzo’s passion for command and passion to succeed.

“It has always been said that if someone cares, and you see that someone cares, everything else falls into place,” Escalante said. “And there is no better example for that than CLB-6.”

Soon after Escalante finished his speech, Rizzo stood in front of his troops and shouted a thank you for their performance in Afghanistan.

Rizzo followed to tell the audience about his experience with the Marines and sailors of CLB-6 during their seven-month tour of duty.

“The thing that impressed me most, was that all the mottos we talk about I saw them do over there,” Rizzo stated with a sense of pride and accomplish-

ment. “Day after day they would prepare their trucks, mount their weapons, pull out and spend 10, 12 days on the road … come back, and I would have to tell them, ‘I have to send you back out there.’

“They would say ’Got it boss,’ and they would be right back on their weapons and on the road,” Rizzo said. “Not one said no, not one said, ‘I’m tired today’ … That’s what I will take away from these Marines and sailors.”

The ceremony concluded with Mullery’s speech, thanking the command for the opportunity of leading the battalion and he talked to the troops about his commitment to them.

“You are the exception-

Marines of II Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group compete against each other in an ammo-can lifting competition during the II MHG field meet aboard MCB Camp Lejeune June 20. II MHG is made up of six battalions – 2nd Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion, 2nd Radio Battalion, Headquarters and Service Company, 2nd Intelligence Battalion and 8th Communications Battalion, all of whom competed at the event.

M

arines from each b a t talion of II Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group gathered aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune for a field meet in the spirit of building camaraderie and in honor of II MHG’s commanding officer, Col. Michael M. Sweeney’s upcoming departure June 20.

“We have the MHG commander leaving at the end of June, and we wanted to do something where he could address the entire group,” said Sgt. Maj. Michael D. Cressman, II MHG sergeant major.

II MHG is made up of six battalions – 2nd Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion, 2nd Radio Battalion, Headquarters and Service Company, 2nd Intelligence Battalion and 8th Communications Battalion.

The event was planned entirely by non-commissioned officers. One event coordinator from each battalion formed a committee who planned the event together.

“The whole purpose of the coordinators from each battalion was to make sure this came to fruition,” said Sgt. Andrew S. Wilbur, a squad leader at Company B, 2nd LEB, II MHG and an event coordinator for field meet. It was a two-week planning process and it took a lot of networking

“It was a really good time, and this is going to be an annual event,” Wilbur continued. “As it goes along I hope to see more participation, more events and for it to be more and more successful each year.”

The field meet had many events and activities for the battalions to compete in, such as threelegged races, egg carries, tire-flipping races, tricycle races and a pull-up competition. Marines and family members could also participate in certain activities without groups, such as the dunk tank and the strongman game.

Food and drinks were also served for the Marines and their families.

Despite the heat of the summer solstice, the Marines put in a full day of

playing and competing against each other.

“I think it’s actually pretty fun. I didn’t know what to expect when we came out here, but it turned out a lot better and a lot more fun than what I anticipated,” said Lance Cpl. Eric Pickett, an electronic intelligence intercept operator with 2nd Radio Battalion, II MHG. “It’s a good way to send the commander off, and I definitely think we should turn it into an annual event.”

The units that comprise II MHG are spread out across MCB Camp Lejeune and rarely have the opportunity to get together, according to Cressman.

“I think it (went) well, and I’m glad we opened it up to the families,” said Cressman. “I was surprised by how many families showed up. I’d say at its peak, we had 1,200 people here today.”

USS GUNSTON HALL

Spartan motivates 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit SGT. RICHARD BLUMENSTEIN 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit

Staff Sgt. Jeffery Perry is a Spartan.

Or at least it is what Marines call him after experiencing one of his hand-tailored CrossFit workouts.

“I do hear it,” Perry said. “But none of that stuff comes from me. I am not one of those guys who brags.”

But physical training is not the only thing he’s known for. He has to squeeze in his workout around his primary mission of ensuring vehicles and the Marines who work with them are ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Perry is the motor transportation chief with motor transportation platoon, Combat Logistics Battalion 24, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. His job focuses on coordinating the movements of all CLB 24s’ motor vehicles as well as ensuring they stay up and running.

“There is always something that needs to be transported so it’s a nonstop job,” he said. “Here with the MEU, it is probably the busiest I have ever been with a unit because the day-

to-day operations going on to support an entire MEU are unbelievable.”

Perry said he enlisted about a year after graduating from high school. He said his decision to join the Marine Corps came from a combination of wanting to serve his country, like his father who served three years in the Army during the Vietnam War, and the fact the Marine Corps has a reputation for being the toughest branch of the armed services.

“I wanted to join the military, and I figured ‘Hey if it’s like everybody says, the Marines are the hardest, so I might as well do it,’” he said.

He said he chose his military occupational specialty, motor transportation operator, after talking with his recruiter about his options and now absolutely loves what he does. So much, in fact, he said he has decided to make service in the Marine Corps a career.

“Growing up, raised by my father and my two older brothers, it was always a guy thing, cars and trucks, and things like that,” he said. “My intention was not to make a career or a life out of it at all.

I figured I would do like

I guess the Marine Corps just grew on me those first couple years in. It was right for me so I stayed doing it.”

Currently the Iraq-war veteran is on his fifth deployment – this is his second with the 24th MEU. On ship he can often be

spotted leading the Marines of his platoon in intense CrossFit workouts; workouts giving him the nickname “Spartan.”

“I think they respect the idea of a staff (noncommissioned officer) who can go down there and hang with them, run with them, work

with them and do it alongside them,” he said. “As much as I hope to motivate them, they motivate me the same way to keep doing what I am doing.”

The 24th MEU, along with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, is currently deployed to the

U.S. Central Command area of operations as a theater reserve and crisis response force. The group is providing support for maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet area of responsibility.

Decontamination course teaches Marines how to combat chemical outbreaks PFC. FRANKLIN E. MERCADO 2nd Marine Logistics Group

Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense specialists with Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group are working to teach Marines the skills they need to combat chemical warfare during a decontamination course aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune June 19.

The week-long course was designed to provide Marines the knowledge they need to successfully operate as a qualified CBRN defense specialist.

“The main purpose of the training is to teach people how to do our job,” said Lance Cpl. Dylan Tinsley, a CBRN defense specialist with CLR-27. “We don’t have enough specialists to contain an outbreak the size of (a military installation), in which case we’ll need help MEMORIAL FROM 1A houses and even trees in the area and we couldn’t find it.”

Shortly after returning to MCB Camp Lejeune, Fisher learned that his battalion would return to Marjah for one last deployment. He immediately recognized the opportunity to continue their search for the memorial mortar.

After a year of waiting and training, Fisher and his Marines eagerly returned to the Sistani area of western Marjah in December 2011. They continued their search with the same tenacity as they conducted every assigned, but found nothing for months.

One day in February, Fisher received a call from Gunnery Sgt. Michael Beech, the Weapon Co. combined antiarmor team platoon sergeant, who was located at Patrol Base Duluth. Beech told Fisher that he was in possession of the shell casing he was looking for.

The casing was found by an Explosive Ordnance Disposal team in Marjah and, fortunately, they kept it from being destroyed.

Fisher immediately traveled to PB Duluth and confirmed that the shell casing was indeed the one his platoon dropped in the mortar tube over a year ago.

“Somehow, at some point in time, during all their cache sweeps, this round showed up,” said Fisher. “When they said they found it, at first I thought they were messing with us. I couldn’t

from other Marines.”

Approximately 30 Marines learned how to decontaminate themselves, protect themselves from an outbreak and to expediently put on their mission oriented protective posture gear while under the cover of a poncho liner.

The regiment’s defense specialists worked diligently to feed Marines the knowledge they need to ward off chemical agents.

“Everyone is taking in the knowledge very well,” Tinsley said. “They understand what is being taught, and they know the gear well.”

Training like the decontamination course is crucial to the welfare of the Marine Corps due to the underwhelming number of CBRN specialists, Tinsley stated.

The regiment’s goal is to have 15 percent of its Marines trained on the subject matter, but in ideal circum-

believe we actually found it. To find it, after firing it over a year ago… I think it was meant to be.”

Fisher immediately brought the shell casing to his Marines, who expressed a mixture of joy and disbelief at the discovery.

“I couldn’t believe it until I had it in my hands. As soon as I told the platoon, people started crying,” said Fisher. “I had grown men who are warfighters, crying because we had this one round.

They were all ecstatic.”

“I was in shock. I felt goose bumps up my spine after Gunny Fisher told us about it,” said Haglund. “It felt like Frank was right there watching us the entire time.”

Since finding the shell casing, Fisher and his Marines have been working to ensure it gets back to the Camp Lejeune as a memorial for Zaehringer.

“I talked to our commanding officer and got his blessing to take it home, even with all the paper work we had to go through,” said Fisher. “We told the (battalion) sergeant major we wanted to take it and display it in the company office for a while, then bring it home to his family.”

Fisher and his Marines will soon be back on American soil. They plan to present the shell casing to Zaehringer’s wife, Cassie and his parents, Sharon and Frank.

“One way or another, we’re bringing it home to his family,” said Fisher.

COURSE FROM 1A from Aberdeen in 2009.

Although the Marines are leaving the Ordnance School’s state-of-the-art training facility at the Tactical Support Equipment Department, the new Marine school will afford them the ability to train in both classroom and field environments.

“This facility is above and beyond what we could have expected when we arrived here in 2009,” Labriola said. “The only thing we were missing was a field training site. It is very important for the students to get an idea of what to expect in a deployed environment.”

Even though the Marines are departing the area, the long-term friendship and solid foundation between the two services will remain intact.

“As you move this course to Camp Lejeune, rest assured, if there is anything you ever need, we are here to support you,” Gary Neuser, TSED director, said. “We will miss working alongside you.”

The Utilities Equipment Repairer Course has graduated more than 1,700 Marines while conducting joint training with the Army.

The TSED trains Soldiers and Marines on the technical skills needed to operate, maintain, troubleshoot and repair ground support equipment. The department is organized into four training divisions and provides advanced individual training and professional military education for utilities, power generation, quartermaster and chemical equipment repairers.

"You can never do enough for the military and their dependents."

stances 25 percent of a unit’s Marines would be trained to take on a chemical outbreak.

“We teach the Marines as much as we can,” Tinsley said. “We cover extra information because you can never be too safe.”

A secondary course is also offered for those who complete the first of the two. The monitor, survey and reconnaissance course puts Marines in the field where they search out the problem.

Though more people would relate chemical warfare with science fiction than the war in Afghanistan, the CBRN defense specialists with CLR-27 are giving a wealth of knowledge to whoever would like to be a qualified defense specialist. The next course commences Aug. 6, where the CBRN section will look to add on to the approximate 200 Marines who already completed the course.

Local soccer team, military kids take part in national soccer tournament JESSIE HEATH

T

he young women of the 97G Jacksonville Area Soccer Association’s Coastal Surge team are experts at what they do.

Their dedication to their sport and team led them on a wild journey. From the soccer fields of Jacksonville to Greensboro, N.C., the young team threw themselves whole-heartedly into a world of shin guards, grass stains and soccer balls.

Now, they are ready for a new adventure. This time, the game will take them to Sacramento, Calif.

As winners of the U.S. Youth Soccer Association’s Regional President’s Cup, the members of the Coastal Surge are preparing to represent Jacksonville, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and all the surrounding areas of coastal N.C. in sunny California at the National President’s Cup. For this team, their coaches and parents this is the chance of a lifetime. Comprised of girls between the ages of 12 and 14, the team is young and small, compared to teams from other parts of the world. What they lack in size, though, they make up for in strength.

“This is a unique group,” said Chrissy Taylor, a member of the Coastal Surge coaching staff. “These girls are incredibly talented, athletic and academic. They are the complete package.”

Taylor, along with coaches Becky Morton and Nick Acosta, saw the power and dedication behind their team all season. Competing against teams seemingly much larger and more intimidating than their own, the Coastal Surge refused to let size or power daunt them. Instead, they banded together, and threw themselves into practices and games with enough vigor to carry them through the “best season we’ve had,” according to Morton.

Spanish mackerel return to Crystal Coast anglers

Anglers of the Crystal Coast have a new battle cry: “The spanish are coming! The spanish are coming!”

They are not referring to Spaniards from Europe, but the return of the Spanish mackerel to nearshore waters.

This spring we received a typical start when the Spanish mackerel made its usual appearance in early May. Sadly and quite inexpicably they disappeared shortly after arriving. Now they are back with a vengance, and anglers are pulling them into their boats quickly.

Spanish mackerel catches are excellent along the beach. From inlet to inlet, above 30 to 40 feet of water, anglers are catching Spanish mackerel. Over the weekend, while I was surf fishing the Emerald Isle surf I

could easily count a dozen boats stringing out from just west of Bogue Pier toward the Bogue Inlet sea buoy. They were all catching Spanish mackerel.

Anglers reported finding king mackerel swimming with their Spanish siblings. Remember, the Spanish have the black spot on their front dorsal fin to distinguish them from the king mackerel, which have no black spot.

Spanish must be a minimum of 12 inches with a bag limit of 15 fish, and kings are minimally 24 inches and a bag limit or three fish per day applies.

Measurements are fork lengths.

Catches of Spanish mackerel picked up along Topsail and Bogue Banks piers as well. Some fish weighed more than five pounds at Bogue Pier.

Surf fishing is slow with only an occasional Spanish mackerel caught.

The Spanish mackerel’s favorite bait, glass minnows, remain off the beach around the inlets and piers. Surf fishing is slow for most anglers with only the occasional catch.

Flounder are still caught on the reefs and

rocks. Anglers have not reported any problems catching flounder,short or long. There are indications they are moving closer to the shore as waters warm. I will keep you up to date.

The Topsail piers and local piers are reporting weeks of strong catches.

Bogue Pier had a couple of three-pounder fish caught recently. Fish are caught on live shrimp, mud minnows and finger mullet. I also saw a threepound fish landed at Bogue Pier on the standard Christmas tree trout rig of a red lead-head and green grub-float on a cork with a six-foot leader.

The size limit for flounder remains 15 inches at a minimum, and the bag limit of six flounder remains in effect.

Cobia fishing is winding down again, but there are still a few being landed and weighed in at local tackle shops.

Nearshore and offshore, on any structure, the sea bass bite is strong.

Remember the creel limit is only five sea bass per person. I heard one head-boat captain muse, “Those things are voracious, and there are so many they are going to clean off the reefs of bait soon.”

As far as the trout catch goes, some are caught in the marshes

and near Core Creek. We also saw a few on Bogue and Oceanana Pier and especially on the Topsail piers.

Farther offshore the great dolphin bite continues along with wahoo and billfish. Dolphin are found from the northeast side of the Big Rock, inshore to the 14-Buoy and even as close as Big10, which is only 16 miles from Beaufort Inlet.

This time of year the other fun fish are the amberjacks. Not many fish pull harder. AJs are typically caught over almost any hard structure, natural or not. Good places to try include the Hutton, Big-10 and Little10, Northwest Places and on any hard bottom on the east side of the Lookout shoals.

The Bogue Inlet dredging is scheduled for July 20 through Aug. 2, and Sep. 15 through 28.

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

Rivalry fuels personal best

For most of my childhood, I wanted a sibling.

Being an only child in a neighborhood full of multiplechild homes, I desperately wanted somebody to play with after everybody went inside for dinner. I searched high and low for a method to locate the sibling I constantly craved.

I even went as far as to ask my mother for a twin brother. I never got him.

I was nearly 10 when I finally realized I wasn’t cursed as an only child, but rather uniquely gifted with all my parents’ time and attention.

I very quickly dropped the sibling search.

I learned I had no interest sharing my mom or dad with anybody else.

Any sibling of mine would need to find different grandparents – ours was already spoken for by my cousin and me, and we kept them plenty busy with sporting events, school breaks and a myriad of other things we did, like drinking MiracleGro in efforts to be taller or having knee surgery to repair several years of damage.

Being an only child had its advantages.

When I went to college I joined

a sorority and suddenly had 30 sisters. In addition, I found myself surrounded by a collection of friends who added another three sisters and eight brothers into the mix. Suddenly, I had more siblings than I knew what to do with.

The more comfortable we became with each other, the more we began to compete against each other. We competed for the best grades, funniest jokes and nicest car, which is a joke if you ever saw what most of us were driving around.

While our competitions and rivalries were always friendly in nature, I would be lying if I said they never got heated. We were all competitive – we all wanted to win.

The recent victory for the Miami Heat pays homage to the spirit of competition. After years of disappointing losses and second-rate critiques from sports commentators, the Heat finally has a title to call their own. The NBA Finals’ winning team’s journey to the top was fraught with less-than-stellar performances.

Through their disappointments, the Heat’s understanding of competition kept them from shrinking back and deciding they couldn’t rival their opponents.

They stuck to their guns, pushed harder and tried more. In the end it was worth it. LeBron James and his teammates enjoyed their crowning moment with hundreds of fans watching last week.

Of course, there can’t always be multiple winners. In team sports, it’s easy to have 10 or more individuals to hail as a winner. When you

compete alone, though, there can only be one.

Amid constant battles for superiority and notoriety, be they noteworthy or not worth mentioning, it is easy to bypass the simple joy of competing. However, everybody cannot be a winner in every competition. While many parents preached the simple act of competing in a challenge makes one a winner, if every person were declared a winner in a race there would be no point to racing in the first place. The desire to come out on top often fuels the fire in the dedicated worker-bee.

We must declare winners and losers. It’s nothing personal – just the way competition plays itself out.

Just ask the Gluckstein brothers.

Steven and younger brother Jeffery are locked in competition for the U.S. Olympic men’s trampoline lone spot. In a home where both siblings are highly capable of making the team and feel unstoppable, the tension is palpable. Regardless of the outcome, one sibling is competing in London this summer and one is going to see his 2012 Olympic dreams crumble.

Among service members competitiveness ranks high on the list of what draws them together.

Whether aiming for the Weapons Training Battalion’s high shooter title or passing the Combat Fitness Test ahead of everybody else, competitive spirit drives many service members to strive to reach their personal best.

In order to get to the top, we need competition. If there is no SEE RIVALRY 7B

(Above) A young participant in the archery camp strings his arrow with help from Chad Wells, recreational assistant, during archery camp aboard MCB Camp Lejeune Tuesday. Ten students, all ages 7 through 9, participated in the week-long camp.

Youth participate in summer archery JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

Aliette Thompson likes to try new things. She thinks it is funny when things don’t go the way she expects them to and can find the humor in any situation, good or bad.

It’s why she likes archery so much.

“I think it’s really fun and funny,” said 7-yearold Thompson. “When I get ready to shoot my bow and arrow, and it wiggles because I can’t hold it right, it makes me laugh.”

Thompson is one of 10 kids, all ages 7 through 9, participating in the Kids’ Archery Summer Camp.

The program, sponsored

by Outdoor Adventures, teaches kids the proper way to handle and shoot a bow and arrow.

On their first day of camp, the kids learned all the safety procedures needed to participate on the archery range.

They learned the

in perfecting their skills, recreation assistants Chad Wells and Gabrielle Higgins took the time to individually teach each of their students. They mentored them from the sidelines and reminded them of the proper way to hold the bow, string the arrow and follow through after releasing the arrow.

“Chad and (Higgins) are really nice,” said Haven Reyna. “I like them both, and they are really good at (archery).

They’re teaching us a lot of stuff.”

Reyna said she learned a lot during the first two days of camp and wants to learn more so she can get better at shooting.

The most important thing she learned her first day of camp was the power of concentration.

“You need to concentrate so you can get a better shot,” said Reyna.

“You have to focus on the target and make sure you follow all the right steps to get your arrow in the right place.

“You also can never point the arrow at people, just in case you accidently let go or it slips,” Reyna added. “You have

“So far, I really like it,” said Thompson.

“I’m getting better than I was Monday, so that’ that’s a plus.”

to make sure you point at what you mean to point at. Don’t point at the sky or anybody.”

With their safety rules clearly outlined and understood, students started to take their turns shooting. For Reyna, the experience was the first step toward a new hobby.

“I think I’ll ask my mom for my own bow,” Reyna admitted. “Maybe I’ll be really good and start to do it on my own.”

Reyna’s newfound appreciation for archery, a skill set rapidly rising in popularity, is not unique.

Her camp mates all share her new enthusiasm for the sport.

“I like to shoot the arrows during camp,” explained Brena Vanderwerf. “It’s a lot of fun, and I can do it without having to be serious about anything.”

Vanderwerf, who is only 9 years old, knows she is younger than most

people in archery, but thinks she will keep on participating in the sport.

“I’ll probably buy a bow and arrow one day when I get better,” Vanderwerf said. “We’ll have to wait and see how good I am.”

Vanderwerf and her twin brother, Brice, both attended the archery camp after their mom signed them up. While Brena is simply enjoying her time at camp, her brother is looking forward to the day when he can go hunting with his father.

“My dad goes hunting a lot, and he uses a bow and arrow,” explained Brice. “I think I’ll probably go with him when I get better and shoot with my own bow.”

The summer archery camp program, held from 9 a.m. to noon at the Archery Range aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, groups kids ac-

cording to age. This helps recreation specialists better assist students in their learning process. The participants in the first week of archery camp fully appreciate the unique setting of their camp.

“We get away from our teachers in school and have other teachers here,” said Morgan Humphrey.

“School is out, so we come here and have fun with Mr. Chad and Ms. Gabby.”

The next summer archery camp is held for 10 through 13-year-old students. The camp will take place aboard MCB Camp Lejeune July 9 through 12. The cost of the camp is $50 per child. Parents can register their children at the Outdoor Adventures office. The program is first come, first served, and space is limited.

Pender Primary Care opened in December 2010 and has been making family medicine and treatment available in Rocky Point to the surrounding community. Pender Primary Care accepts TRICARE Prime and regular TRICARE Standard.

Dr. Ray fell in love with the NC Coastal area and after practicing as a doctor of osteopathic medicine in New York City for eight years. With an extensive academic background in medicine and public health, a prior research position with the Center for Disease Control, and nearly a decade of experience, Dr. Ray’s patients will find themselves in good hands.

In addition to her knowledge and experience, Dr. Ray’s enthusiasm for family healthcare is what makes patients feel satisfied with their care.

“I went into family medicine because I like taking care of families as a whole. I have seen patients from the time they were born and it is amazing to watch them grow and be a part of their life,” says Dr. Ray. For Dr. Ray, practicing family medicine encourages physicians to look at the medical problem and beyond.

“Family medicine in general promotes physicians who look at the entire person, not just a disease system. Here at Pender Primary Care we have a great team who really cares about our patients and understands this concept. We are fortunate that this extends out to the support services we receive from Pender Memorial Hospital and New Hanover Medical Center as well,” says Dr. Ray. Pender Primary Care is part of the NHRMC Physician Group,

affiliated with New Hanover Regional Medical Center and Pender Memorial Hospital.

“My background in International Health and Epidemiology has taught me to look not only at the patient but also at their environment. Many times a patient can come into the office with a certain complaint and by thinking outside the box I realize they are really dealing with an issue many others would not consider health related. I believe everyone’s surroundings affect their health,” says Dr. Ray. Along with this comes the acknowledgement all patients and families may not benefit from the same treatments.

“International health has taught me a great deal about respecting and understanding different cultures including trying to form a health plan that fits into each individual’s daily life,” says Dr. Ray. Dr. Ray and Pender Primary Care focus on assisting and educating individuals and the community. The practice covers healthcare issues from birth to geriatrics, including women’s health, and routine annual physicals and vaccinations, which are important for children.

Dr. Ray sums up the benefit of keeping your family under Pender Primary Care’s wings.

“We all believe in continuity of care which helps us get to know our patients better and thereby enables us to provide amazing, compassionate, all around care,” says Dr. Ray. If your family or friends are in search of a health care provider, get to know Pender Primary Care. They’d love to get to know your family.

Bulldogs football team makes bold statement at first season home game LANCE CPL. SCOTT W. WHITING Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The Camp Lejeune Bulldogs made quite a statement Saturday evening, rolling over the Triangle Nighthawks, from Raleigh, N.C., and keeping their undefeated record for a week longer.

The Bulldogs went into Saturday’s game with a 2-0 record and came out with a lot of emotion during pregame warm-ups.

The start of the game was no different as the Bulldogs received first, and marched right down the field into the end zone with a ferocious running game the Nighthawks’ defense had no answer for, giving them a

6-0 lead.

The team faced an early obstacle as they fumbled a punt return, allowing the Nighthawks to recover the ball with great field position. The Bulldogs’ defense wasn’t fazed however, and the quarterback pressure up front, along with a ball-hawking secondary, forced the Nighthawks to throw an interception.

The two teams battled back and forth on the ground for the rest of the first quarter, with turnovers on both sides. The score at the close of the first quarter was a 6-0.

The second quarter was a different story, as the Bulldogs’ running game kept pushing the Nighthawks back and keeping them on their

toes. Sweeps, tosses, and reverse plays to the outside of the field gave the more athletic Bulldogs a chance to run around the defense. On the inside, the offensive line of the Bulldogs opened up holes for running backs to slip through for big gains.

The Nighthawks changed it up halfway through the second quarter, and stopped trying to outrun the Bulldogs, which wasn’t working, and tried passing. Other than a couple big catches

by Nighthawks’ receivers, the Bulldogs’ defense caught or swatted down anything the Nighthawks put in the air. Jason Johnson, safety for the Bulldogs, intercepted a Hail Mary pass and returned it for a touchdown as time

expired in the second quarter, giving his team a 24-0 lead going into halftime.

The second half was no different for the Nighthawks, unfortunately, as most offensive possessions for them ended with a turnover on downs, an interception or a punt.

The Bulldogs defense kept a high level of energy throughout the game, making big plays and hitting hard. They didn’t give the Nighthawks any room to breathe on offense, keeping constant pressure on their quarterback, causing him to scramble, which would either result in a sack or an ill-advised throw. Nells Ayler, defensive lineman for the Bulldogs, and Tristan Wilkerson, line-

backer for the Bulldogs, were all over the field Saturday, leading their team with a combined 13 tackles and three sacks.

In the fourth quarter, many of the Bulldogs starters were taken out, and running plays were called to take time off the clock. The defense stayed up-tempo, however, not allowing the Nighthawks to score at all during the game.

P.J. Thomas, running back for the Bulldogs, kept the Nighthawks defense running around trying to catch him, rushing for 98 yards on only six attempts, giving him an average of more than 16 yards per carry.

Kent Onuoha, cornerback for the Bulldogs, was a force to be reck-

oned with on special teams, racking up 137 yards on four returns, including a punt return for a touchdown in the second half.

“We expect to make a big impact in the Gridiron Developmental Football League and hope to make a long run when the playoffs come around at the end of the season,” said John Glaister, the defensive coordinator for the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs came into the game ranked 19th nationally in the GDFL and can expect to possibly move up a spot or two with Saturday’s win.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Service members and patrons gathered for the Family Fun Run event hosted at the Tarawa Terrace Community Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s residential area recently.

Some participants arrived with their hairs crunched and fizzy, wearing neon colored leg warmers and tights, and an excessive number of sweat bands for the 80’s-themed event. It was the sixth run hosted this year and 150 runners of all ages attended the family occasion.

“This event gets everybody out here to get some exercise,” said Berry Simpkens, a retired master sergeant who attended the run with his daughter. “It’s great to have a chance to participate in a running event with my daughter. I can tell she had fun, and she did great.”

There were children as young as 5 who ran with their parents, canines that ran on all fours, and group organizations, such as the Stroller Warriors, who surely left skid marks from smoking wheels after they ran.

“The run was great,” said Trisha Keegan, a member of the Stroller Warriors who attended the run. “It gets everybody out here early in the morning to get some exercise before starting our Saturday. We have 13 members of the Stroller Warrior running club out here today.”

In previous years the average number of participants was around 30 people, but dedicated participants helped increase those numbers, said Lorraine Fuller, a recreational specialist with MCCS. The event had 88 returning runners and 62 new registrants.

“Our average number of participants is around 150 now,” said Fuller. “We’ve seen a lot more families come out

It’s great to see how the runners responded to the 80s theme run.”

Music from the 80s blared from the speakers from the start of the event, and played until the last child, dog and stroller passed.

“We hope this event continues to grow in popularity, because exercising is important to keeping a healthy life style,” said Fuller.

The next family fun run will be the

Families are encouraged to dress up in their best red, white and blue outfits and enjoy the free patriotic run.

SOCCER FROM 1B with no losses in their regular season. Showing other teams the meaning behind their name, they surged forward and took control of their games, making sure they worked as a team toward victory.

“We went to regional thinking it would be a good experience and we would learn something about the game,” explained Taylor.

“We were shocked when we realized we were going to win. It speaks volumes for our team and our sup-

port network.”

For the team members who were already thrilled at the idea of traveling across the state, the realization they would soon be traveling across the nation to play soccer was overwhelming.

“We were really happy when we found out we get to go to California,” said Tessa Friesen, a 14-yearold member of the team. “I was like ‘Wow,’ and then I realized something else. I thought about my dad.”

Friesen’s father, an avid soccer player, is also a

Marine. Currently deployed, he is the driving force behind her blossoming soccer career. Knowing he would not be present for the trip to California was both sobering and thrilling for his daughter.

“When I realized my dad wouldn’t be there for the game, I just decided to play even harder,” said Friesen. “I’m going to play for him.”

Friesen, a holding midfielder, played soccer since she was four. Her parents tried to give her the chance

to play every sport, but soccer was the only one that stuck. Her dad, an avid soccer player and fan, was thrilled with her favorite sport, Friesen said, and “loves that I play soccer.”

During his deployment, his daughter’s emails never leave out a description of the latest team event.

“I’m going to write a lot and wait for him to come home after we go to California,” said Friesen.

“He’ll be home really soon after, so I’ll be able to share everything with him then.”

Until her father’s return, Friesen will share everything with her team, who she calls her “great family.”

“The girls are really supportive and know everything about me,” explained Friesen, her excitement evident in her voice. “They know how important this is. We’re such a big family.

I really can’t wait to share this with them. There is nobody else I’d rather play soccer with.”

A family experience is exactly how Morton, Taylor and Acosta describe

“Our parents are incredible. They are a team of their own. (Eli) Ring is an active-duty Marine and has been our fitness coach this season, which has given us a bit of an edge on the field,” explained Taylor. “He helps them push through. At the regional tournament, we played five games in three days.

All the other teams were getting tired, but our girls were not tired or sore on the last day, even though they had been playing a lot of soccer. It will be the same way at Nationals. We couldn’t do that without his help.”

They push their athletes to always play for a cause.

They lead by example and throw themselves into every practice and game as one cohesive unit.

“We’ll bleed for this team,” Taylor said. “So will our parents. We’ll do anything to help them push through. When dad is deployed or mom can’t come, we have other adults who step up and make it special. They’ll do anything.”

For Jenny Nunu, a military spouse whose daughter plays on the Coastal Surge team, the decision to support the team was a nobrainer. Nunu’s daughter tried out for several soccer teams, but decided she felt the most welcome on the Coastal Surge team and told her mother it was the right fit for her. She was right.

“The coaches and her teammates genuinely care for her,” explained Nunu.

“She feels loved here, as do I. We’re surrounded by support all the time, on the field and off.

“We all love the game because that’s what our kids love,” Nunu added.

“They love it and they want to win. We want to see them succeed. We’re out here with them, we travel with them and we do it as a family. It’s made a positive impact on the lives of these girls.”

As they prepare for their trip to the National President’s Cup, Nunu and the other parents on the Coastal Surge team are eager to see their girls at work again.

“When we were at regionals, the girls were telling us about other teams they met and how they had thousands of kids come out to try outs for these teams,” said Nunu. “I was sitting back, thinking about this little community nobody has ever heard of, with this great group of girls who were beating these huge teams with their little team. It really impressed me.”

The 97G Coastal Surge team’s participation in the National President’s Cup will take place July 11 through 14. They will fly to California as a team and experience the once-in-alifetime opportunity as the family they have grown to be. Win or lose, they know they have been given the chance of a lifetime.

“We’re just going to have a lot of fun,” explained Taylor. “We want to push along and help them through this entire experience, but like any family, we’re just going to have fun. We’ll see things in California, and we’ll play a lot of soccer, but more than anything, it’s just a chance for us to do something new and exciting with our girls. They are what really matters.”

Golf tournament draws community, business leaders for military causes LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Members of the community gathered for the second annual Military Heroes Golf Classic to have fun in the name of a good cause at the Jacksonville Country Club June 15.

The Museum of the Marine and Hope for the Warriors hosted the event to commemorate the sacrifices of wounded Marines in the area and to raise awareness and funds for the two organizations, according to the Hope for Warriors website.

Twenty-four teams, three comprised of wounded warriors, with more than 100 participants gathered for the event.

“This community likes golf,” said Dave Brown, the executive director of the Museum of the Marine.

Brown said people

enjoyed the fundraiser and many business leaders came to support the nonprofits through the annual Military Heroes Golf Classic.

Robert Jackson, the vice president of acquisitions, sales and marketing for American Homesmith, came to support the organizations.

“We have a strong propensity to give back where we are doing business,” said Jackson. “We support organizations that give back to the community endeavors and philanthropic organizations. We don’t only give back to organizations financially; we like to participate in events and donate our time to help in other ways.”

Jackson said his company looks to support organizations that meet needs in the community.

Outdoor Festival makes debut

Children learn how to play cornhole while waiting for their mother to finish the triathlon during the first Outdoor Festival at the New River Waterfront Park in Jacksonville Saturday. The festival began with a triathlon, which involved paddling, biking and running over a period of two to three hours.

During the triathlon, supporters had the opportunity to enjoy all the festival had to offer.

“We’re honored to participate, and we’d like to find ways to participate further,” said Jackson.

“The community has a responsibility for stewardship.”

Similar goals drew the Museum of the Marine and Hope for Warriors together for the event.

“This event is about honoring and supporting our military community,” said Kathryn Pavia, the southeast region event coordinator for Hope for the Warriors.

Carl Wilson, a participant of the event, enjoyed the opportunity to support the organizations while spending time with friends playing a sport he takes pleasure in.

“I do anything I can for wounded warriors and other causes like theirs,” said Wilson. “I contribute what I can to them.”

Wilson said golf is a game where one’s personality shines brightest, an even-tempered player

tends to be pleasant to be around outside of the game, while a hot-tempered player likely isn’t.

“People who get upset really easily in life get upset real easily in golf,” said Wilson. “People who take things in stride, have a good personality, laugh and enjoy themselves tend to do the same thing on the golf course, and I like playing with those guys.”

Pavia felt the event drew people from all different areas of life together.

“It’s a great way to come out and enjoy a beautiful day to play golf and have fun while honoring the military,” said Pavia. “We hope people walk away with new memories, new friends and a goal to help make a difference in the military community.”

RIVALRY FROM 2B competition, we reach a plateau where we cannot be distinguished from each other.

Sports teams comprised of service members are some of the fiercest teams around. They are comprised of eager and willing service members, all of whom have high hopes and prove their dedication to everything they do.

The Bulldogs football team is ranked 19 in the Nation in the Gridiron Developmental Football League, and is looking to move up several spots before the season ends. It would be impossible to move anywhere if competition didn’t exist.

Olympic boxer Jamaal Herring is looking to prove his worth and do the Marine Corps proud in London this summer after a highly successful year on the All-Marine Boxing Team.

The Bombers’ baseball team spent the spring improving their program and representing Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune as worthy adversaries in the sports world.

None of these teams or individuals found the top of the sports world without competition.

While nobody likes losing, it is a necessary part of the climb. Every loss and less-thanperfect performance added fuel to the fire for these athletes. They learned how to thrive in competition and overcame each obstacle without hesitation. With a clear vision of where they wanted to be, they took the necessary steps to get to the top.

While becoming so immersed in competition we forget everything else is not something to be lauded, the reminder competition brings about a reason to try harder and push further is something to be thankful for.

It is the competitive nature tucked inside us that brings about the desire to reach for our personal best.

Don’t compare your losses to everyone elses highlight reel. You’ll lose sight of how far you’ve come.

You can’t win it all.

PMO cracks down, Click it or Ticket campaign

Volunteers from Onslow County high schools teamed with Riverworks at Sturgeon City and area Marines to clear Wilson Bay in Jacksonville June 21.

LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

It took more than a decade to recover. Years of pollution and trash turned Wilson Bay in Jacksonville, N.C., into a stinking, murky shell of its natural beauty.

Only minutes away from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the water way is now clear. The film of pollution once coating the bay was diligently beaten back by city environmental efforts, non-profit organizations and the working hands of volunteers. It is an ongoing community endeavor that has not escaped the attention of the Marines and sailors working just down the river.

Each year, volunteers from Onslow County high schools sign up to patrol the bay and surrounding area. They team up with Riverworks at Sturgeon City, a non-profit organization dedicated to civic and environmental education, and together they maintain the vigil needed to keep Wilson Bay clear of the refuse that once inundated the water. Thirteen volunteers from nearby Marine Corps installations took the opportunity to serve the local community and joined the students as they cast their canoes into the bay June 21.

“I think it’s a commitment on their part,” said Craig Wagner, president of United Way Onslow County, which joined with Riverworks at Sturgeon City to muster the volunteers needed to clean the

bay. “They wanted to be involved with an effort such as this. What they learn in a week is so significant. Some of the teachers and instructors out here saw such engagement from the students. They almost learn more here during this one week than they would in a semester of a regular science class. It’s hands on and a real-life example of environmental restoration and stewardship.”

Wagner, a veteran of previous cleanup efforts, said the students would not be able to clear the bay without the help of adult volunteers like the Marines and sailors. Their supervision allowed the younger volunteers to remain safe and fulfilled the requirements needed to send students into the bay. For the service members, many of them students at training installations such as the School of Infantry – East, it was a chance to escape their daily military environment and experience the community.

Petty Officer 1st Class Rebecca Bryant and Petty Officer 2nd Class Lee Rader, religious program support specialists at the Courthouse Bay and Camp Geiger chapels, actively sought out opportunities for the Marines to serve the community. They saw a chance for civic engagement at Wilson Bay. Through their collaboration with United Way, Marines hit the beaches and waterways not with rifles and tanks, but with canoes and paddles.

If your car has air bags you don’t need a seat belt. Your seat belt can hurt you in a crash. Seat belts can trap you in a fire or underwater and if you're not going far or traveling fast, seat belts aren’t necessary. Incorrect.

These statements, and many others, are myths based on the ‘what if’ factors people naturally come up with. But what is certain, is if you’re caught without a seat belt on, you’ll get a ticket.

Here are the facts: air bags are designed to protect a buckled occupant. When unbuckled, airbags become less effective or even deadly themselves. In a crash, everything in your car can cause you harm – your seat belt is one of the few things that can actually save you, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Less than 1 percent of all crashes involve water or fire and wearing a seat belt gives you a much greater chance of being conscious and ablebodied after an accident. Seemingly routine trips can be especially dangerous, since most fatal crashes happen within 25 miles from home and at speeds of less than 40 miles per hour.

Marine Corps Civilian Law Enforcement Officer Lt. Marcos Vega is the supervisory accident investigator with the Provost Marshal’s Office for both Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River.

Vega said PMO recently kicked off this year’s Click it or Ticket campaign because the summer months are historically when seat belt safety and awareness count the most.

“There are certain time frames elected throughout the year for seat belt enforcement and to target seat belt violations,” said Vega. “They are obviously a precursor to a lot of needless injuries and fatalities on our roadways.”

The NHTSA reports 51 percent of the 22,187 people killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2010 were not wearing seat belts. Another 12,546 people’s lives were saved the same year because they were wearing seat belts.

“People sometimes use the argument there are fatalities because people had their seat belts on,” said Vega, adding it is statistically unlikely.

Base welcomes new officer in charge for construction LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

After two years manning the construction efforts aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the officer in charge of construction for Marine Corps InstallationsEast relinquished his position in an elegant ceremony at the Marston Pavilion aboard the base June 14.

Cmdr. Marc Delao passed the reins for the post to Cmdr. Scott Cloyd, who is now instrumental in the planning, design, acquisition, construction and maintenance of all facilities aboard the base presently valued at $6.7 billion, according a pamphlet distributed at the event.

The ceremony took place in in the Betio room of Marston Pavilion, and Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, the commanding general of Marine Corps Installations East – MCB Camp Lejeune, spoke at the event and described it as “smart and dignified.”

“Two years ago this place looked like a cave, it was the old Marston Pavilion,” said Delao, while sharing memories of his time at MCB Camp Lejeune. “Curtis Moore and Dan Coster had a project and what we have now is the new Marston Pavilion. It’s very impressive and used extensively.”

Delao spoke with charm, recalling the construction of the base’s new front gate and other obstacles, and thanking everybody involved in the projects throughout his tour. He said he’s strongly optimistic for the base’s future.

Delao received a Meritorious Service Medal for outstanding service during his time aboard the base.

“Commander Delao’s visionary leadership galvanized the command’s 104-person military, civilian and contrac-

tor workforce at three geographically separate construction offices to superbly execute a workload of 304 projects valued at $2.2 billion, dramatically advancing the quality and effectiveness of Marine Corps facilities in North Carolina,” said Captain Mark Libonate as the award was presented to Delao.

Delao said his time at MCB Camp Lejeune was a great experience. He enjoyed the camaraderie of the close-knit community. He also appreciated the trust placed in him by the Marine Corps.

“They trust you and empower you,” said Delao. “They mean what they say, and they say what they mean. There’s no ambiguity.”

Serving under Col. Daniel Lecce, the former commanding officer of the base, and the support he received from Lecce left an impact on Delao. “(Lecce) truly, genuinely cared,” said Delao. “He was very engaged, and he was a tremendous advocate for us.”

Delao wanted to share thanks to members of the base and the community for their patience and understanding through the numerous construction projects.

“It was a priority to me to minimize inconveniences,” said Delao. “I know Commander Cloyd is going to do the same thing, he will be very sensitive to the impact of the construction efforts.”

This is Cloyd’s third time following Delao’s footsteps.

“The shoes keep getting bigger,” Cloyd joked.

He is looking forward to working with Marines, and getting to know the base and the community.

“It’s an honor to have this amount of trust placed in me,” said Cloyd. “I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and getting to know them.”

Cloyd said he understands the construction will impact the community. He said would work hard to minimize it and keep the lines of communication open to get the word out about any changes.

Cloyd was welcomed to the community by the many guests of the event and is looking forward to tackling future challenges.

Exceptional support available to exceptional family members

Building 1, or base headquarters, serves as the central place of authority for Marine Corps Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

The building houses the commanding general’s office along with the base sergeant major, and is also is full of Marine Corps history from when MCB Camp Lejeune was established in the 1940s.

Base headquarters remains more than a workplace LANCE CPL. SCOTT W. WHITING Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

A large majority of personnel aboard base drive right by it every day, without thinking much about it. It is the location of the morning and evening colors ceremonies.

It, of course, is Building 1, otherwise known as base headquarters.

The installation commander’s office is located inside the building, along with installation sergeant major. Many other Marines and civilians have offices inside the large building also, but the building holds much more than office spaces and Marines.

It holds the authority of Marine Corps Installations East and houses the historic ghosts of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s past.

The base commanding general governs approximately 50,000 service mem-

bers and civilians from this building on a daily basis.

He also provides support for an additional 90,000 military family members in the surrounding area.

The huge, brick building demands the attention of anyone driving by it, with its large flag pole out front, flanked by two cannons. The rich, green lawn is meticulously manicured to ensure the building exerts as much beauty as it does authority.

Anyone entering through the double doors in front comes face to face with a small statue of Gen. John A. Lejeune encased in a glass box. Pictures of past commanders, old MCB Camp Lejeune and various other photographs of the surrounding area populate the walls of the structure, providing a visual history of a very different Marine-lifestyle of the 1940s. An aged photograph of what MCB Camp Lejeune used to look like

can be located on the walls of the first floor. The traffic circle intersecting Holcomb Boulevard and McHugh Boulevard, base headquarters and W.P.T. Hill Field across the street can be easily identified in the snapshot, with the rest of base looking vastly different from today.

On the second floor, a display of Gen. Lejeune’s awards and accolades offer a glimpse of his life to those who pass by. Each base commander who served here has their picture on the historic walls of the second floor.

The building itself, although being packed with an assortment of civilian and military offices, is almost silent in the greencarpeted hallways, offering a quiet serenity and serving reverence to the many generals and other important military figures who roamed the halls through its approximate 70-year history.

Financial knowledge proves key to women’s success LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

In the 1960s and 1970s, advertisements boldly called out to women saying things like, “You’ve come a long way, baby.” While the appeal to independent women was a common marketing trend at the time, it also harkened to a new day of financial independence for women across the nation.

This new independence, however, came with an ever increasing financial responsibility. It is why the Women in Transition program opened the doors at the Russell Marine and Family Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to provide practical financial tools to women of all ages, incomes and financial circumstances June 5.

“We may have come a long way,” said Barbara Bennett, investor education specialist with the North Carolina Department of the Secretary of the State’s Securities Division. “Women are serving on ships and in war zones; however, in the average civilian economy we are still making only about 78 to 80 percent of what men make.”

It’s not the only challenge women face.

While their average income is often lower than men, women also face a slew of unique financial challenges and often bear a large portion of families’ financial needs.

“What we have is women earning less money in a shorter amount of time, and they need it longer because they are going to typically outlive men,” said Bennett. “We’re constantly in a position where we have to be spending money. Spending a little bit of money on some level each day comes to be a normal factor. It isn’t something we often think twice about.”

Around 99 percent of women will be financially responsible for their household at some point in their lives. It is why understanding how to manage household incomes and expenses is so important. If someone doesn’t have confidence in their financial decisions, often times their decision is to do nothing, said Bennett.

This paralysis is a risky thing in the modern economy. While many women take on family responsibilities removeing them from the work force for longer periods than men, their financial role often remains strong.

The responsibility of managing a family’s budget, bills and purchasing is often held by women, said Bennett.

Military spouses face particular challenges of their own. The high mobility of the military family, and the challenge to balance military duty with family needs and

employment often creates additional burdens on women.

“When we moved 26 times in 17 years during my husband’s career, there were very few places where I could actually get a job,” said Bennett. “I didn’t have earning power during those years, and the jobs I had were very low paying, didn’t have many benefits and certainly didn’t have any retirement plans.”

Today, Bennett travels around North Carolina to share her lessons and expertise with the women who take on such a large role in the nations economy. It’s important to understand things like credit and investment, said Bennett, but it’s also important to be careful.

“One of the things that may be an issue is what we call the Cinderella Complex,” said Bennett. “A man is not a financial plan. This might be a surprise to hear. Especially in this day and age, if you’re depending on someone else for your financial future, that might not be the best choice. We do have to start making out own financial futures. Things like monitoring our credit and credit scores.”

Cutting up the old credit card is not necessarily a wise method of money management. In fact, credit history is important in the modern economy. If someone has an account spanning 10 years and another opened one year ago, closing the older account pretty much obliterates 10 years of credit history. Thirty-five percent of a credit score is based on how card holders previously paid off their financial obligations, said Bennett.

Keeping the score in the sweet zone and looking after the family’s economic future takes communication. Spouses need to set reasonable goals and discuss their economic priorities, said Bennett. In addition, setting achievable goals will help couples see the benefits of the efforts, even if it’s cutting out the morning latte and saving extra cash each week.

Bennett also reminded the women in attendance they need to protect the finances they’ve earned, especially with the difficulties coming with military service.

“If you think the outside world doesn’t know this base has lost somebody, you’re probably mistaken,” said Bennett. “It’s sad, but they know there is money coming to the spouse.”

Scammers also know military families have a source of income and an often hectic lifestyle. It’s something they can and have taken advantage of. It is why Bennett encouraged the women to trust, but verify.

Challenges can be exciting. In the right context it can bring out the best someone has to offer, or it can be a forgettable experience. When it comes to our families, we hope to be the parent or spouse equipped with all the tools to handle our family challenges and rise to the occasion. Sometimes we need help. The mobile lifestyle of the military can come to a screeching halt when presented with some challenges, especially health-related challenges, and we are not able to provide the care our loved ones need.

The Exceptional Family Member Program helps families with a member diagnosed with a medical need whether physical, emotional or mental, or an educational need. Designed to ensure Marines are stationed in locations to support the unique needs of the exceptional family member, the program also provides localized resources and referral support. Tracey Sosa, the program manager of the Exceptional Family Member Program, brings us up to date on the topic.

RR – Can you tell us what the EFMP is designed to do for families?

TS – The EFMP program is designed to ensure Marines are assigned to locations where services exist to support their exceptional family member. At the installation, EFMP provides each family with a designated family case worker who serves as a local point of contact and links the family with local and community resources. The family case worker can also provide support with the special education process and is available to attend individualized education plan meetings with families. The EFMP hosts family friendly activities such as sensory movies, reading to dogs, sensory story time and family swim time. In addition, the program offers a variety of workshops on topics such as diagnoses, the special education process, and a “Challenging Children” series that provides classes on a variety of topics related to parenting.

Although these workshops may be created with our exceptional family members in mind, they are beneficial and available to all families with ID cards and an interest in attending.

RR – How do I know if I should pursue having a family member enrolled into the program?

TS – Although enrollment in the program is determined on an individualized, case by case basis, the general rule of thumb is a family member receiving ongoing care from a specialist.

This includes an occupational therapist, physical therapist, neurologist, allergist, cardiologist, psychiatrist, psychologist, pulmonologist, immunologist, or any other doctor outside of a standard primary care physician.

Continued care from any of these physicians may qualify for enrollment in the program. Family members may also qualify for enrollment if they have an IFSP or an individualized education plan. Our staff is happy to answer

any questions about potential enrollment if interested families either drop in to the office or call at 451-4394.

RR – I saw an article in “The Globe” from Feb. 16, where children participated in a science project based on Dr. Seuss’ “Bartholomew and the Oobleck.” It looked like the kids were having a great time. How do projects like this help the children?

TS – Although we designed the workshop with fun in mind, it’s also a great way to introduce kids to scientific concepts and to model sensorybased activities parents can replicate at home. The easy to make “Oobleck” is made with a combination of corn starch and water to create a substance that is neither liquid nor solid, the science part. The kids enjoy dripping over their hands and arms, the sensory aspect and the fun part. Combining a fun, sensory-based experience with a story is also a great way to encourage a love of reading.

RR – There’s vast resource library in the building 40 including books on different diagnoses, healthy living, parenting supports and books designed specifically for children to read. How can I check out one of these great books?

TS – Camp Lejeune families who are enrolled in our program are welcome to come by our office and browse through our lending library. Books can be checked out for two weeks at a time. Additionally, we now have a lending program where families can borrow items such as weighted vests and blankets to test at home before making the decision to purchase their own.

RR – Where can someone find information on the EFMP schedule, or how to sign up for a specific event or program?

TS – Information about our program and events can be found on our website at mccslejeune.com/efmp and you can also find us on Facebook. The EFMP office is located in room 138 of building 40 or call us at 451-4394.

Along with the information covered there is also a “Morning Coffee with …” program the staff hosts the first Friday of every month. This is an outstanding way to meet other families with exceptional family members and discover other local resources. The events are held in the Russell Marine & Family Center room 136, to pre-register for the event call 451-4394.

Always remember here at MCCS we are proud to serve those who serve.

Marine Corps tests for prescription drug abuse LANCE CPL. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Marines who sustained injuries or suffered from anxiety may be prescribed medications to alleviate and treat their condition, however, these pharmaceuticals can prove to be highly addictive and dangerous if used inappropriately.

Commands are aware of the apparent risks and released Marine Administrative Message 154/12, which was signed March 22 and in effect since May 1 to enhance their ability to track and monitor the abuse of prescription drugs. In order to achieve this, the Marine Corps expanded their prescription drug urinalysis testing by screening for commonly abused drugs such as hydrocodone and benzodiazepines.

“It’s like any other narcotic and someone abusing these drugs can become highly addicted,” said Staff Sgt. Denell Rivers, the substance abuse control officer with Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

“Their body can get used to the drug and build a tolerance, so they may feel like an increased dosage is needed each time to obtain the same ‘high’ effect. Consuming these amounts can potentially lead to overdosing.”

Commands encourage those who may be addicted to these drugs to voluntarily seek medical treatment and rehabilitation.

If a Marine has a problem with drugs or alcohol they shouldn’t keep it to themselves, said Rivers. Seek help. Marines

can find aid from their SACO, chain-ofcommand or the substance abuse rehabilitation program.

“The MARADMIN came out in March,” said Rivers. “But the Marines were given until the first of May to come forward. Those who did were exempt from disciplinary action in order to (correct themselves). If they are having problems with drugs, we want them to get the proper help and guidance they need.

As of now, if a Marine is caught abusing prescription drugs, there will be legal (repercussions).”

The MARADMIN clearly defines inappropriate use or abuse of prescription drugs as using them for unintended purposes, using them beyond their prescribed date, in excess of the prescribed dosing regimen, or when a service member uses another individual’s prescribed medications.

“You have to look out for your Marines,” said Rivers. “If they’re consuming their prescribed amount of pills fast, and they’re always going back for a medication refill, they may be abusing their medication. You just have to pay attention to the signs. The goal is to ensure the wellbeing of the Marines’ lives and careers.”

If a Marine loses or has his medication stolen they should immediately inform their chain of command, medical officer or SACO. For more information on the MARADMIN, visit www.marines.mil/news/ messages/Pages/MARADMIN154-12. aspx/.

Cycling 3,870 miles across the United States and having another 1,000 more miles to go sounds hard, but to riders of the Sea2Sea Challenge it is nothing compared to the sacrifice service members and their families make every day.

Tom von Kaenel, Alvon Elrod, Chip Minks and other members of the Down East Cycling group from Jacksonville, N.C., biked to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune April 22 to deliver the daily remembrance ceremony at the Beirut Memorial.

“In this daily remembrance ceremony we call out the names of 100 U.S. and 10 British service members who were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11,”

said von Kaenel. “The ceremony is the hardest part of the trip. No amount of biking will ever be as hard as the sacrifices our service members and families make every day.”

The ceremonies occurred in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina and now North Carolina.

There was also a special remembrance ceremony at Mount Rushmore honoring all the Native Americans who were killed at Wounded Knee, S.D. In addition to the ceremonies, the group met with Gold Star Mothers and widows of service members from Iraq and Afghanistan to specifically remember those they lost.

Sea2Sea Foundation was

created to raise awareness about the sacrifices U.S. and U.K. service members faced since 9/11.

It was launched November 11, 2011, after von Kaenel, a retired American service member and founder of Sea2Sea, recovered from a serious biking accident that demanded immediate medical attention provided by a medical evacuation flight to a military hospital.

“The number of procedures there helped save my life, so I said if I am going to be able to walk again, if I was going to be able to live again, I am going to do this,” von Kaenel said.

Von Kaenel biked to Heathrow International Airport April 16, thus beginning the Sea2Sea challenge.

The American portion of the bike ride began as von Kaenel, Elrod, and Bruce Hammersley, a

professional photographer, blogger and the safety vehicle driver, departed Ocean Shores, Wash., April 23. Chip Minks, their childhood friend, flew in from Germany to complete the last 1,000 miles of the ride through Quantico, Va., and into Washington D.C. The ride is scheduled to conclude July 3 in Arlington, Va., where there will be a final remembrance ceremony followed by an all-night vigil at the chapel at Fort Myer, Va. At the all-night vigil, they will place an index card with a name for each U.S. service member who was killed in action since 911. These 7,000 cards will serve as a visual reminder of how many 7,000 lives entail.

“The morning of July 4, we will gather up the 7,000 index cards and take them to the

3C

Marine Corps Memorial,” von Kaenel said. “There we will give them to cyclists who will carry them to the Lincoln Memorial, where a two-minute ceremony will complete the U.S. portion of this mission.”

“It’s the experience of a lifetime,” Elrod said. “This country is just blessed to have such great people.”

The group rides approximatly 60 to 80 miles each day for 11 weeks and uses Sundays for recovery. Support is encouraged at every level whether it be by riding with them or through donations.

Their goal is to raise $10 million for U.S. and U.K. service member, and veteran charities.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

An unexpected crisis can be an overwhelming and chaotic experience for families, and the odds for such events to transpire are greater for military families.

Developing a plan for the worst-case scenario is paramount to family care. Service members interested in preparing for these scenarios attended the Family Care Plan workshop hosted by Marine Corps Community Services’ Marine Corps Family Team Building aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s residential area June 4.

“The Marine Corps is all about being ready,” said Breck Bregel, a retired Navy chaplain and life skills trainer with MCFTB. “Marines are famous throughout the world for fighting and (success) in war because they’re ready and prepared for all contingencies. The same idea of preparedness is being applied to the families.”

Early this year the Marine Corps established Marine Corps order 1740.13B, effective March 26, requiring all Marines with dependents complete a validated FCP within one year of the signed order. However, a command can require its’ completion at an earlier date. Hastened completion of FCPs may be due to the availability of parents who are preparing to deploy.

During the workshop Bregel discussed the conditions of emergencies, long and short-term care providers, and the type of providers needed for different FCPs. The assigned care providers’ role is to assume temporary responsibility for the family member or members in the event of a death or incapacity until a natural, adoptive parent or legal guardian can assume custody by court order.

“Choosing a care provider is huge decision to make,” said Bregel. “It’s a decision to really think through because they’re trusting someone to care for their child or family.”

Parents also have the option of listing their Child Development Center as their registered

emergency care provider who can assume responsibility of a child for four hours pending the availability of either a short or long-term care provider. Along with arranging caregivers, FCPs should include financial matters, medical information and daily activities.

“I liked the class because it covered a lot of details about things I didn’t know,” said an acting Family Readiness Officer with 2nd Intelligence Battalion, who attended the workshop. “I didn’t think the logistics as far as the day-to-day schedule for the child or children was just as important as everything else. It’s great to know (MCFTB) will come out to the units to give the class. I will be speaking with the battalion commander to set up a date to host this seminar with our (senior leaders and command).”

Bregel said he meets with units about once a month to offer the FCP class. Care plans should be updated annually or when a major family change occurs such as a divorce, death of a family member, relocation, a child custody decision involveing long-term visitation or the birth of a child. He feels it’s important to keep the service members aware of the requirements in the care plan.

“Marines are all about mission readiness, and the FCP is just an extension of it because mission readiness means being family ready,” said Bregel. “Our heartbeat is to do whatever we can to help the Marine family be prepared, morally and physically. Helping them have greater peace of mind knowing they’ll be ready for whatever emergency might happen. Everything we do is to strengthen the military family.”

For assistance with preparing a FCP, Marines can refer to their chain of command, FRO, legal assistance office, Installation Personnel Administration Center, Relocation Assistance Program Office or Military OneSource.

CAMPAIGN FROM 1C Well, according to the NHTSA, out of all occupants who were ejected from their vehicle during an accident, 78 percent suffered fatal injuries.

“Statistics show they not only reduce injuries, they save lives,” said Vega. “It’s the provost marshal’s goal to promote it. Wearing a restraining device is a very simple action so we will be aggressively enforcing restraint violations and hoping for a maximum compliance level from the public.”

Charles Wood, traffic safety program manager, said wearing seat belts is nothing new and since the 1960s, seat belts are mandated.

“For more than 40 years, we’re told to wear seat belts because they reduce the chance of being killed through an ejection or blunt force trauma,” said Wood. “Your chances of being killed without seat belt are 25 percent greater. If you could get a 25 percent return on your money, would you do it? Wearing a seat belt is like getting a 25 percent return on your life.”

CLEAN FROM 1C be involved with some of the other institutes. They’re all done on a volunteer capacity, so it’s excellent to have the military support for it along with everyone from the community.”

Bryant and Rader said they plan to continue their work with volunteers, fostering spirit of community and service through regular outings bringing the service members under their care into the communities they serve.

With summer here, people begin partaking in more outdoor activities.

Wide varieties of animals also migrate or come out of their winter slumber to enjoy the warm, welcoming weather.

While breathing in the fresh air on a midday run, nature’s critters can bring a sense of harmony between one and the environment. But when a runner spots an eight-foot long alligator basking in the sun, the sense of harmony may be questionable to someone who has never seen a ‘gator.

Martin Korenek, a biologist with the Land and Wildlife Resources Section, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Environment Management Division, said he understands the concern about the alligators inhabiting the waterways in the area.

A larger than average reptile with sharp teeth and rugged scales has an intimidating appearance, but patrons living in areas near these animals have no need to fear them as long as they’re watched from a safe distance. Chainlinked fences surrounding storm water ponds also keep alligators from straying

into residential areas where they can be a threat.

Mere observations of these animals are not considered a threat, noted Korenek.

If an alligator is found in a location where it was a threat to people or pets, EMD staff will not hesitate to catch, remove and relocate the animal to a remote area, ensuring the safety of the patrons.

“Alligators are very common throughout Camp Lejeune, coastal North Carolina and much of the southeastern United States,” said Korenek. “On base, they are frequently seen in storm water ponds and basking along the shorelines.”

Alligators are protected by state and federal law, and there are strict regulations against feeding and harassing them, noted Korenek. The American alligator is listed as threatened in North Carolina by the Unites States Fish and Wildlife Service, and under state law, it is illegal to feed them in the wild.

“Feeding them will acclimate them to human activity,” added Korenek. “If one of these animals loses fear of humans from constant exposure, it (may) lead to problems. (We) encourage residents to enjoy the alligator from a distance.”

OnslOw OncOlOgy prOvides patients with tOp-nOtch physician, care

I

t is a dreaded sixletter word that no one wants to hear, but almost everyone has been affected by in some form or another. It can creep into one’s life slowly and stealthily with little to no warning or hit flagrantly like a freight train. Cancer.

According to the National Cancer Institute’s SEER Stat Fact Sheet, it is estimated that 1,638,910 men and women will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in 2012. Being diagnosed or having a friend or loved one diagnosed with cancer can be a confusing and frightening time in anyone’s life. Even in such a daunting time, there are many sources of guidance to help one through.

One of these sources is Onslow Oncology.

Dr. Adesola Awomolo is the specialist at Onslow Oncology.

She is board-certified in both hematology and oncology. Dr. Awomolo is originally from Nigeria, where she earned her undergraduate and medical degrees at the University of Ibadan. She completed her internship and residency training at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University in New York, and followed with a three-year fellowship in Hematology at New York University Medical Center.

After she completed her training, she moved to Eastern North Carolina where she opened her own practice to

provide quality hematology and oncology care to patients in the Onslow County area.

In 2001, Dr. Awomolo opened the doors for her new practice, Onslow Oncology. For over a decade, Onslow Oncology has been assisting patients through such a challenging time by offering expertise care and the latest treatment options in the field of cancer management and blood disorders.

When patients and families confront the reality of a cancer diagnosis, often it’s the beginning of a journey that includes new and unsettling experiences – appointments, tests, uncertainty, and unfamiliar terminology. All those are reasons why it’s so

important to have healthcare providers you can count on to help make sense of it all.

Patients can find that center at Onslow Oncology. Helping patients navigate that difficult period is among the central roles they play in providing compassionate, expert care.

Onslow Oncology is now part of NHRMC Physician Group, which is affiliated with New Hanover Regional Medical Center. The NHRMC Physician Group is committed to providing the highest quality health care to residents of southeastern North Carolina. With more than 100 providers in both primary care and specialty fields, the NHRMC Physician Group's

doctors can focus on providing the best medical care to their patients while benefiting from the shared resources of New Hanover Regional Medical Center. This progressive healthcare partnership means access to some of medicine's best technologies, treatments and specialists is readily available when needed.

Services provided include urology, oncology, neurology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, psychiatry, urgent care, pediatric surgery and a team of hospitalists serving hospitalized patients. To better serve patients' needs, NHRMC Physician Group practices are located throughout southeastern North Carolina.

This is the oncologist, who cares for the patients facing a diagnosis of cancer, whose focus is finding answers, and providing expert treatment, to each person who comes to Onslow Oncology, which is now part of the NHRMC Physician Group.

Introducing Adesola Awomolo, MD NHRMC Physician Group is pleased to welcome Onslow Oncology to our group of specialists and primary care providers. Board certified in Oncology and Internal Medicine and fellowship trained in Hematology, Dr. Awomolo is welcoming new patients in her Jacksonville office.

Even Stronger Together.

hat’s better than a cup of coffee, a bowl of ice cream and the nurturing presence of a family member when you don’t feel well?

How about knowing your family is taken care of too?

Sweet Coffee and Ice Cream served up a $1,000 donation during a fundraiser for the Camp Lejeune Fisher House in Jacksonville, N.C., Saturday. The Fisher House Foundation provides free, temporary housing for military families during times of medical crisis.

“Every little bit makes a difference,” noted Josephine Callahan, manager of the Camp Lejeune Fisher House. “Things like this restore your faith in humanity.”

While Sweet, a mom-and-pop type coffee and ice cream shop, has slowly built its reputation with its popular open mic nights and tasty treats since opening its doors in November, the fundraiser was

inspired by a personal connection to military families.

“My husband sustained a (traumatic brain injury), and I wanted to be able to support an organization that helps people who are in the same position we were in,” said Desiree Sharp, Sweet general manager and a military spouse. “This has been a great place, and we’ve gotten a lot of response from the community. We’re getting more and more faces in here all the time.”

Owners Luke Handelsman and Mark Moseley Jr. were quick to support the event, not only donating portions of the day’s proceeds to Fisher House but bringing in former Washington Redskins kicker and 1982 NFL Most Valuable Player, Mark Moseley Sr., to sign autographs and meet with visitors.

“We try to treat everything and everyone like family,” Handelsman explained. “It really works for us. It’s more than just being here but actually offering something people haven’t had before. Everything we’ve done is for this community.”

Callahan, along with Handelsman and Moseley, hoped the event would be mutually beneficial in getting the word out about the Fisher House.

“A lot of people just don’t know we’re here for

them,” she stated. “Many service members are remotely located from their families. Often times we send them to other locations to be treated, leaving them twice removed from their home. When they’re transferred, their families go too. It gets expensive, and if they can’t afford a hotel, what are they supposed to do? That’s where we come in.”

The Camp Lejeune Fisher House, located aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune as part of the Wounded Warrior Complex, attempts to be a home away from home for families who travel to be near their loved ones during stressful times involving unexpected illnesses, diseases or injuries.

They provide everything from a full kitchen with appliances to laundry detergent and even phone cards for their guests at no cost.

The elder Moseley visits hundreds of severely wounded and sick service members who are hospitalized at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and he has personally seen the effect the Fisher House Foundation has on military families.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

Star-packed film delivers on funny ‘Expect’-ations Now playing at Camp Lejeune “WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING” (PG-13) “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” is a comedy inspired by the best-selling book about five couples and their childbearing tales.

This film takes a look at love through the eyes of five interconnected couples experiencing the thrills and surprises of having a baby, and whose lives are turned upside down by the challenges of impending parenthood.

Ultimately, they all come to understand the universal truth no matter what you plan for, life does not always deliver what is expected.

Cameron Diaz (“Bad Teacher”) stars as Jules, a television fitness guru who has trouble learning to compromise and share her life, and adjusting her unexpected pregnancy with her celebrity life.Matthew Morrison (TVs “Glee”) costars as Evan, a dance show star and partner of Jules on a celebrity dance show. The two high-octane celebrities are over the moon about starting a family but their lives don’t stand a chance against the surprise demands of pregnancy.

Elizabeth Banks (“Hunger Games”) stars as Wendy, a baby-crazy author and advocate, who gets a taste of her own militant mommy advice when pregnancy hormones ravage her body and whose long-awaited pregnancy turns out to be less fun than she expected. Ben Falcone

(“Bridesmaids”) co-stars as Gary, a dentist and Wendy’s husband who struggles not to be outdone by his competitive father, Ramsey, played by Dennis Quaid (“Footloose”).

Ramsey, a former racecar driver, is expecting twins with his much younger trophy wife Skyler, played

by Brooklyn Decker (“Just Go With It”).

Jennifer Lopez (“The Back-Up Plan”) stars as Holly, a baby portrait photographer who is prepared to travel the world in search of finding the right kid to adopt.

Rodrigo Santoro (“Rio”) co-stars as Alex, a music promoter and Holly’s husband who is not ready to have a child, and who tries to quiet his panic by attending a “dudes” support group where new fathers tell it like it really is.

Anna Kendrick (“Up in the Air”) and Chase Crawford (“Twelve”) play Rosie and Marco, rival food truck chefs, whose surprise hookup results in an unexpected quandary – what to do when your first child comes before your first date.

Kirk Jones (“Nanny McPhee”) directed this ensemble piece loosely based on the 1984 New York Times bestseller of the same name written by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel.

“What to Expect When You’re Expecting” is a hilarious and heartfelt kaleidoscopic comedy as universal as it is unpredictable. The film tries to find humor and uplift in exploring the theme of accepting the unexpected in life.

Don’t accept defeat.

Fight deadly childhood diseases.

limbing summer temperatures offer the ideal conditions to satisfying cool-downs with dives into a pool, and many people recently seized the opportunity.

Service members and families gathered for a splash of fun at the Summer Pool Party hosted by Marine

Corps Community Services’ Tarawa Terrace Community Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s residential area June 16.

“It was a great way to kick off the season,” said Lorraine Fuller, a recreational specialist with MCCS. “It was (like) a private party, so we were able to keep the pool open longer. Our event brought extra flare to the pool with food, games, dancing and music.”

Hotdogs, bearing signature grill marks, offered a taste of outdoor cooking to hungry guests while cold

beverages sweating in the sun were quickly consumed by thirsty individuals.

Those who had their fill of food early in the event, and waited the advised 30-minute period before swimming to avoid muscle cramps, didn’t have to be bored.

They could do their digesting while dancing.

“The kids seemed to really enjoy (the party), and the parents even got up to dance,” said Fuller.

“The average person doesn’t realize how hard it is on the families when their service member is hospitalized, and they have no where else to go. They deserve as much as we can give them. There’s no way we could ever repay them for all their sacrifices.”

Moseley Sr. remembered the decision he had to make when graduating high school at the height of the Vietnam War. “I knew I had a chance to play football, but I also had an obligation to my country. So I put my number in the hat,” he said.

“My number was 312, and they stopped drafting at 309. I’ve always felt like one of the fortunate ones.”

Since then, it is a matter of duty for him to help the military however he could, and it’s one he accepts whole-heartedly.

“Every American has a responsibility to give back to the troops,” he acknowlPhoto by Amy Binkley edged. “They allow us to Brianna Panalez prepares an espresso for a customer during a fundraising event for the Camp Lejeune do what we do.

Sweet’s employees happily helped customers beat the heat by whipping up smoothies, iced coffees and banana splits, and let them know their part of their purchase was going toward a great cause.

“We want this to be something ongoing,” Moseley stated.

Selling cold treats on a summer day may be Sweet’s specialty, but their sweetest surprise was their generous support of service members and their families.

“It means a lot,” Callahan said. “It makes a difference.”

Teamwork brings glory to God

High-five your nearest vampire

How to handle people who drain you

NAVY LT. RAY RIVERS

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Many of us probably saw the movie, “Remember the Titans” produced in 2000. This movie was an inspirational film. It was set in Alexandria, Va., in the early 1970s, during the height of racial tensions in America.

The public school system in the area began to integrate African Americans and Caucasians, and a new high school was established. A new football team was also established, integrating coaches and players, each from their respective old high schools, along with several new comers.

The movie depicted the trials, challenges, setbacks and successes the team and community experienced in overcoming racial tensions and winning the state championship.

There is one scene in the movies that underscores the importance of teamwork. During the third game of the season, the Titans were playing another undefeated team. This opposing team had an All-American defensive lineman who was very aggressive and mean.

A Caucasian offensive lineman for the Titans was opposed to the integration of the team and remained very prejudice towards his African American teammates. The offensive lineman purposely enabled the other team’s All-American lineman to come into the back field unblocked and hit the Titan’s quarterback hard.

This star quarterback, who was an inspirational leader, was injured and unable to play the rest of the season. The offensive lineman’s prejudiced attitude and actions led him to fail his responsibilities as a team member and the entire team paid a big price.

In athletic events, teamwork is very important.

As well, in our spiritual lives and in God’s family, teamwork is critical for people to experience God’s love, forgiveness and healing – all to God’s glory.

In the Mark 2:1-12, we learn Jesus was at home, preaching the word to the large crowd.

Four men, out of love and concern for their fellow man, attempted to bring a paralytic on a bed to Jesus to be healed. However, the crowd was so large these men could not get near Jesus.

They had a large obstacle before them, and they had to adapt to the situation, show initiative and work as a team to get this loved one to Jesus for healing. The result was removing part of the roof and lowering the paralyzed man down before Jesus.

The scriptures say, “When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, ‘Son your sins are forgiven.’”

The men worked as a team in faith and action to accomplish their mission, getting this paralyzed man to Jesus. Each person individually begins a relationship with God through repentance of sin and faith in Jesus.

However, I believe when this paralytic saw the love of his friends and their faith lived out in teamwork and action, it helped to ‘prime the pump’ for his faith in Jesus. When Jesus saw all of their faith, including the paralytic’s, he showed great mercy and compassion by forgiving the man of his sin and healing him.

We are called to act as a team as well today.

We, likewise, are called to begin our relationship with God through repentance of our sins and faith in Christ for our forgiveness of sins and healing. We are also called to grow in our love for Christ and others and to bring others to Jesus through prayer and actions.

As we are aware of a need and pray and act in love and compassion in a team fashion, God often moves in a powerful way. As with the paralytic, what one friend could not do alone, a team of friends were able to do together.

May we come to know Jesus and his love so deeply we are driven to work as a team to bring others in need before Jesus to receive grace, mercy, forgiveness and healing – all to God’s glory.

Each person has a critical role in a crucial ministry. May our lives and team work bring glory to God.

POOL FROM 3D earned prizes by grooving to the music during group dances or playing games.

“I love that MCCS (hosts) events for the families,” said Mona Hope, a military spouse who attended the event. “I need things like this to entertain my kids. I love being involved with the community in anything fun and family oriented.

It’s great to be with all of the other families. The best part is my kids get the chance to socialize and interact with other children.”

With her husband currently deployed, MCCS events keep her entertained and help the time go by until his return, she added. “It gets the kids out of the house and offers a break from the mundane everyday life,” said Hope.

Parents mingled and laughed while they watch their youngsters play and follow each other in and out of the water like ducklings.

“This event was a great way to team up with other MCCS entities, such as the TT Pool, and join forces to provide our community with a very dynamic program,” said Fuller.

Upcoming pool parties are scheduled for July 13 and Aug. 10.

Oh my word with Amy Binkley

Assistant managing editor

I feel drained.

It could be the smothering North Carolina humidity, or my never-ending busy schedule causing me to fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow at night. However, I have a sneaky suspicion the source of my zapped energy comes from far more sinister creatures – vampires.

Put all thoughts of Dracula and Edward Cullen out of your mind.

The vampires I’m talking about don’t sparkle in the sunlight or sleep in coffins. They walk among us sucking dry the strength, motivation and dreams of those unfortunate enough to cross their paths.

You know the type of people I’m talking about, right?

There’s the story-suckers, who wait for you to finish your tale before telling their own, which they deem bigger, better and allaround more important.

How about the naysayers? Their idea of happiness is bringing others down to their own misery and poisoning anything optimistic with their special brand of negativity.

Add in the hot-tempered, neurotic, overly sensitive and those who are too big for their breeches, and you’ve got yourself a perfect pool of aggravating people whose very presence suck the life out of you.

It’s common knowledge vampires cannot come in unless they are invited. Unfortunately, online social networks are a breeding ground for virtual vampires. One click to confirm lures millions into the constant barrage of status updates ranging from the encouraging to the annoying.

I’m guilty. As of press time, I have 736 Facebook friends.

There’s no need for jealousy.

If the social networking site were a factual representation of real life, the numbers would probably be broken down a bit differently.

For me, it would read more like this. “Amy has 578 relatively obscure strangers she met somewhere at some point doing something vague who have 1, 942 pictures she can look at any time; 103 people she sees on a regular basis who prevent her from being able to wear her cute, new dress twice in one week for fear of being judged; 37 acquaintances who understand her sarcastic humor; 10 family members and eight best friends who know, without asking, the real thoughts behind her cryptic, random song-lyric status updates.”

I rest in the lair of leeches.

Good leaders don’t present problems without offering solutions, and so I propose a few vampirepreparedness guidelines.

First, understand we all suck. A lot of people probably get on your nerves, but odds are you’re high on someone else’s “Most Annoying People” list.

Vampires can’t see themselves in the mirror, which makes self-reflection a lot more difficult. When we grasp this concept, it’s a lot easier to extend grace.

Next, accept the fact you are not Buffy, Van Helsing or, most recently, a re-imagined, fictional Abraham Lincoln. You are not called to a life of vampire hunting, disposing of every caustic and abrasive person who shows you their fangs. You can’t fix them, and you can’t avoid them forever.

You may ask, “If escape and execution are out of the question, how can I survive in a world of life-suckers?”

I’ve got one word for you – boundaries.

Boundaries are one of life’s blessings and simple solutions to most relationship issues. They are not unkind, unloving or unwarranted. Boundaries allow you to protect what you value.

I was never good at setting emotional boundaries because I always thought if I don’t allow people to know all of me it appeared I didn’t really love or care about them. Looking back, I realize I deserved a few good high-fives to the face.

Allowing others to be a part of your life, whether it’s at work, home or the

grocery store, does not grant them unrestricted access to your heart, mind or future.

You don’t have to build barriers to keep people out, but you should set boundaries to keep people from taking the energy you will need to live a healthy life, not only emotionally but also physically, spiritually and mentally.

People who laugh in the face of commitment should be kept at arms length when you’re in need of relationship advice. You shouldn’t run to a shopaholic when you’re trying to get out of debt. Spending time with self-destructive saboteurs probably isn’t the wisest idea when you need encouragement.

There are some people who should not be privy to your ambitions because, with their subtle pessimism and constant seeds of doubt, they will drain the life out of your dreams. Before you know it, what once fueled you toward excellence is nothing more than a shriveled up corpse of forgotten hope.

Hammering a stake through the heart of an unhealthy relationship may be the best thing you can do.

You don’t have to carry around crucifixes, garlic and bottles of holy water to keep vampires at bay.

Once boundaries are set, either their proximity will be less frequent or their attacks will be futile.

So high-five your nearest vampire but set your perimeters.

Fangs can’t puncture if they’ve been filed down.

The USO of North Carolina in Jacksonville posts a sign in their auditorium displaying their 70th year of service. The Jacksonville Center is the oldest, continuously operating USO facility in the world.

USO doors remain open after 70 years LANCE CPL. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Military members are continually in transit, flying from coast to coast to their places of duty.

Because of a lack of experience, traveling may not always be a walk in the park for younger service members, but luckily for them the United Service Organizations is there to offer assistance.

The USO of North Carolina in Jacksonville helps and supports service members, easily extending far beyond the guidance to gate checks or the typical pit stop for fresh “boots.”

Unlike other USOs commonly located in airports, the Jacksonville Center sits in the heart of downtown Jacksonville. There are about 170 USOs throughout the world, but the Jacksonville Center is the oldest, continuously operating USO facility in the world, recently reaching their 70th anniversary.

The USO was established Feb. 5, 1941, at the presidential request of

Franklin D. Roosevelt and within a year the Jacksonville Center opened up.

Following World War II, the USO and nearly all of their facilities closed, however the Jacksonville Center remained opened, driven by resilient efforts of its volunteers.

“Volunteers are the heart of their organization,” said John Falkenbury, the president of the USO of North Carolina.

Their mission of providing support and off-duty recreation to military members and their families is one of unyielding success.

During the 1950s the center hosted events and provided entertainment such as big-band dance nights, miniature golf, basketball, roller skating and pool. Some of those activities are still available with the additional event improvements such as performances from famous musicians or bands.

Although the USO is a private, nonprofit organization, supported entirely by private citizens and corporations, they’ve maintained a strong

commitment to serving those who serve their country.

The USO also offers programs and events such as deployment and homecoming support. For example, the Smiles Over Miles program allows service members and their family members to create accounts online and send secure videos during deployments.

They also host Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for service members and their families.

The Jacksonville Center truly beat the odds with its volunteers fighting to keep its doors open through economic hardships and other challenges. The facility itself survived several hurricanes, and those who man its post have shown unmatched resilience and compassionate support to their cause and purpose.

The Jacksonville Center is located at 9 Tallman Street Jacksonville, NC. For more information, visit www. uso-nc.org/our-centers/uso-ofnorth-carolina-jacksonville-center or call 455-3411.
