HELMAND PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN

M

arines and sailors from 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward) fortified an Afghan compound during a two-week operation in order to create a suitable village stability platform for members of Special Operations Task Force-West.

The mission required a full range of general engineering operations and mobility support.

Due to the complexity of their task, the company was reinforced by other members of 8th ESB including a motor transportation element, a security element and a heavy equipment element so they could focus strictly on their engineering role.

Special operations personnel planned to enter an area in central Helmand province previously lacking a coalition force

presence and needed a fortified structure to base their operations from. To minimize the impact on the local community, the special operations personnel chose to fortify an existing Afghan compound rather than create a new VSP from scratch.

“Due to the prevalence of enemy activity and in order to maintain the element of surprise, we were not able to conduct the onsite survey usually performed on engineering projects,” explained Capt. Brad Klusmann, the company commander, 8th ESB. “All of our planning was done from aerial imagery.”

More than 60 vehicles marshaled at 8th ESB’s compound aboard Camp Leatherneck early in the morning of June 19, filled with engineering supplies and heavy equipment headed for the VSP. Due to the remote location of the VSP, the company blazed a new route to the objective over challenging terrain. Leading the way were members of Mobile Assault Company, 1st

Combat Engineer Battalion to provide route clearance support, ensuring the new route was clear of any improvised explosive devices.

The company arrived at the staging area for the project after a full day of travel.

“Getting to the site and the VSP were the hardest parts,” said Klussman. “Once we arrived at the VSP, we were able to get started on the engineering projects, which we are much more comfortable with.”

The next day, the company arrived at the VSP with SOTF-W personnel already in place. The Marine heavy equipment operators immediately began mobility operations to improve the route to the VSP as several streams made the approach difficult for some of the larger equipment.

“The heavy equipment operators put in a lot of time at the start of this mission, and they really adapted to the situation well,” said 1st Lt. Christopher White, a platoon commander with the

engineer company. “Originally we were planning on installing a medium girder bridge to cross one of the gaps leading up to the VSP, but we ended up installing several culverts instead. We planned multiple courses of action for the mobility operations because we knew things could look different on-site versus from the air.”

Once the heavy equipment operators improved the route to the VSP, the rest of the company got to work fortifying the compound to meet the special operations team’s needs.

First, they swept the area for improvised explosive devices.

Then the Marine engineers fortified walls with Hesco barriers, demolished several excess inner compound walls, laid out a helicopter landing zone, built several guard towers, increased visibility from the compound and improved fields of fire.

“Our general support relationship with SOTF-W was really good,” said Klussman. “We want to support them as much

as possible, but at the same time they also were willing to listen and take advice.”

The area proved to be kinetic as enemy activity was high.

2nd Marine Logistics Group vets come together for fun in the sun PFC. FRANKLIN MERCADO 2nd Marine Logistics Group

Marines and sailors who recently returned from a deployment with 2nd Marine Logistics Group in support of International Security Assistance Force operations reunited for a day of fun in the sun at Onslow Beach aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune June 28.

Many of the Marines in attendance hadn’t spent time with their fellow Operation Enduring Freedom veterans since returning from Afghanistan because a significant amount of Marines who supported the 2nd MLG during their last deployment were from other units.

“Many of the Marines who were with the MLG came back from deployment, did their transition classes and went back to Photo by Pfc. Franklin E. Mercado their parent commands,” said Lt. Col. John A child learns how to make a balloon animal Flynn, the assistant chief of staff for logisduring a 2nd Marine Logistics Group beach tics, 2nd MLG. “This is a chance for these event at Onslow Beach aboard Marine Marines to socialize and see how each other are doing.

Corps Base Camp Lejeune June 28.

“While on the deployment these Marines built friendships, not only for their careers but for a lifetime,” continued Flynn.

Lance Cpl. Samuel Wade, a landing support specialist with Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd MLG, confirmed the thought as he explained the connection Marines form while deployed.

“When you deploy you develop a special bond with the guys you spend the most time with,” Wade said. “They have your back, and you have theirs. The bond you develop is something you can’t explain unless you are a part of something like it.”

As the event came to an end, Flynn’s message was clear. Even though this event concluded a series of outings to bring these veterans together, he believes they should continue to enjoy each other’s company.

“Whenever you are afforded the opportunity to take a day off, take it,” Flynn said. “Go have a good time with family and friends whenever you get a chance. Take a breather, and you’ll see how much it can help you.”

BaseLegal Base Legal

By M.S. Archer

Understand the law, prepare for hurricanes Now is the time to prepare for the next hurricane, not when the storm surge is flooding our shores, the rain is pounding down and falling trees are crashing through rooftops. Knowing your rights and liabilities can help lessen the financial effect of these sea monsters.

Renters’ Insurance. This can lessen the loss due to storms, as well as losses due to fire, theft and other disasters.

Carefully consider whether you need such coverage. Coverage amounts begin at about $20,000 and such policies are fairly inexpensive. Make sure to review coverage exclusions; water damage due to flood and losses resulting from electrical power outage may not be covered.

Vehicle Insurance. Motorists with liability-only insurance rather than comprehensive insurance put their vehicles at risk of loss due to a storm. Liability coverage, required under state law, only insures against damage or injury to another caused by the insured.

It does not cover damage to the insured’s own vehicle. Lenders will usually require comprehensive insurance as a condition of obtaining a loan, and failure to maintain such insurance constitutes default and justification for repossession. Motorists who can and do choose to purchase liability insurance only, either because comprehensive insurance is not required by their lender or because no balance is owed, will not be compensated by their insurer if the car is damaged or destroyed by a storm. Before choosing the lower cost liability-only insurance consider the costs associated with auto repairs or purchasing a new car.

Atlantic Marine Corps Communities Renter’s Insurance. Base residents living in housing run by AMCC already have renter’s insurance, but, as with any insurance policy, you should review it carefully. It contains significant deductibles and special limits concerning the type of property lost or the cause of the loss. A summary of the AMCC policy and information on making a claim is online at www.atlanticmcc. com. Drill down to the desired information through the “current resident” link, “resident resources” and finally “forms and downloads.”

Claims Against the Government.

Relying solely on the federal government to compensate you for your hurricane damage losses is risky.

-The Military and Civilian Personnel Claim Act (31 USC 3701, 3702, 3721), implemented in the Navy and Marine Corps through Judge Advocate General Instruction 5890.1, authorizes but does not require the United States to provide compensation for losses “incident to service,” including losses in base quarters. Different statutes and regulations cover losses caused by the negligence of government agents or employees.

-The United States will not pay claims when negligence of the claimant or his/her guests caused the loss. In most renters’ policies, such matters are irrelevant.

-The United States will not compensate for losses where the possession of

the items is not considered reasonable under the circumstances or where the claimant failed to take reasonable precautions to protect the property. Such matters are generally immaterial in renters’ policies.

-The United States will pay depreciated value according to a strict depreciation schedule, not replacement value.

Thus, you may get only $100 for a television the purchase price was $500 four years ago. You may be able to purchase a renters’ policy to pay replacement value.

-Private insurance proceeds are generally paid much more quickly than government claims.

Making a Claim Against the government.

-If your hurricane related, on-base property damage claim exceeds the $2,000 deductible you must first submit a claim through AMCCs insurer, Lloyds of London, by calling 888203-9704 and provide the representative with the AMCC policy number, B0621F43411012. Once this claim is settled, you must then settle with any other private renter’s insurance you have prior to submitting a claim against the government. A copy of the settlement sheet from the AMCC insurer and from any other private insurer you may have must be attached to your claim against the government. If your total loss does not exceed the $2,000-AMCC deductible and you have no private renter’s policy, file a claim directly against the United States. The claims office is located in building 66, office of the Staff Judge Advocate, Marine Corps Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune on Holcomb Boulevard, across from the parade deck. The claims section submits all claims to HQMC, which determines whether to approve the claim.

-In case of a serious disaster to the area, satellite claims sites may be established in the hardest hit housing areas.

-For hurricane related, on-base damage to vehicles, claimants must file through their insurer and then may submit a claim against the United States.

Claimants must show their vehicle was aboard the installation for a legitimate purpose. Only vehicles registered in the name of the active-duty service member or federal employee are covered under this statute.

-Government claims forms and instruction packages will be available at the Staff Judge Advocate claims section or, if established, at one of the satellite claims offices.

Proving Loss. A good inventory of your property can be very helpful, including a videotape. Receipts for the more expensive items will be helpful in substantiating the claim, whether against a private insurer or the government. Historically the most common hurricane damage claim is for food spoilage resulting from power outage.

Be prepared to provide some proof of food spoilage and the dollar amount thereof. Making a fraudulent claim is a criminal offense.

Repairing Rented Premises. Land-

lords, not tenants, are responsible for repairing storm damage and clearing debris resulting from natural disasters (NC Gen Stat 42-43(6)). If your rented home is damaged, or if trees or other debris blew into your yard, notify the landlord or the landlord’s agent immediately by phone and follow up in writing. If the damage significantly lessened the value of the property; for example, if air conditioning or plumbing were damaged and not quickly repaired, you may ask the landlord to reduce or eliminate rent until the repairs are made. The modified rent should be equal to the rental value of the premises that are damaged.

If the landlord agrees, get it in writing.

If the landlord does not agree, you can sue him in small claims court for a court order lessening or eliminating the rent until the repairs are made. If you have already paid the full rent, you may sue for the difference in the value of the damaged property and the value of the property without damages. A court ordered reduction in rent might be just the wake up call to inspire your landlord to make the necessary repairs.

Lease Termination. North Carolina Law (NC Gen Stat 42-12) provides if your residential-rental home is damaged so badly it will cost more than a year’s rent to fix, the tenant may terminate the lease without penalty. However, the tenant must pay rent up to the time of the damage and must notify the landlord of intent to terminate in writing and within ten days of the damage. Read the lease carefully. This provision of the law only applies if the lease does not contain an agreement concerning destruction of the premises.

Consumer Fraud. When the winds die down, home repair con artists will descend on Jacksonville like vultures.

Here are some danger signs to look for: -The door-to-door seller of home repair services fails to comply with state (NC Gen Stat 25A-39) and federal law (32 CFR 429) requiring a written notice of a three-day right to cancel the contract.

-The company headquarters is out of state, is impossible to contact, or maybe there is just a post office box and no physical address.

-The contract fails to completely and accurately describe the work to be done or the price to be paid. Be especially wary of contracts in which the price is based on an estimate to be completed in the future.

-The seller tells you not to worry about the exorbitant price because the insurance company will pay for everything.

Emergency Funds. If the President declares a national disaster, individuals may be eligible for loans or grants administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA provides grants to help repair damaged homes, loans to compensate for personal or business property loss, and grants to people unable to afford the loans. However, FEMA money can be delayed and may compensate for only a small portion of the loss.

Be smart. Be safe. Be prepared.

SOCIALIZE THIS Supreme Court rejects Stolen Valor Act recently. Do you think the right to free speech includes unethical conduct?

Yes it does. As muc much as I hate to admit it. Otherwise you would have to draw a very thin and vague line in the sand. I’m all down for the medal and award registry idea. That’s the only viable option that I see.

Vern Honie

If you pose as a cop, you get jail time. If you pose as someone from a branch of service or clam awards you don’t rate, nothing happens, so no.

Robert Brown

It is flat-out wrong. As a construction worker aboard Camp Lejeune, I see many true heroes every day. For someone to steal that valor is wrong and unethical on so many levels.

Mike Garry

Sadly there are already those who pose as service men and women, who are scamming people. These people should be caught and justice served, in the service not some jail or a fine.

If they want to pretend; let them be dropped in a combat zone.

Michelle Dowling Isaacs No because cursing aloud in certain cities and towns is a ticketable offense, and it is freedom of speech technically.

Katie Nicole VanderWende I think they are wrong to reject this. I feel the medals these men and women earn in the military are as important as a police officer. If they tried to do this as a police officer they would go to jail.

Both earn what they have with hard work and many years of training and schooling. They deserve what they have; no one should be able to take that away from them no matter what. Police and military should be respected and treated on the same level in the court and life.

Scott Boudrieau

No. I think if they want to say they have earned an honor reserved for those who have answered the call of the nation, they should answer the call. Draw a weapon from the armory and assume the watch.

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C.

24th MEU detachment returns home in time for Independence Day CPL. GLEN SANTY 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing

Though there were no bright balls of fire in the sky, fireworks were still going off in people’s hearts as they reunited with their loved ones on the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point flight line, July 4.

A detachment of more than 40 Marines and one sailor with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252 returned to MCAS Cherry Point for a two-week operational pause from supporting the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit to rest, spend time with family and conduct refresher training before returning to service.

For the Robinson family the return of their loved one was not a moment too soon. Both Suzy, wife of Capt. Samuel Robinson, the legal officer of the VMGR-252 detachment, and their son were celebrating their birthdays on Independence Day. “Today is special to us because not only is it James’s birthday, but it’s my birthday too. It’s the best birthday present we could have asked for,” said Suzy.

With a baby girl due in August, Suzy took on the role of both mother and father in the house and said she has constant support from the squadron to include frequent phone calls from other spouses and family.

“Of course (deploying) puts a strain on all of us,” said Robinson. “But the strength I have with my family helps me put aside my worries and remember why I do all of this, for my family and my country.”

Lt. Col. Charles Moses, the VMGR252 commanding officer, said though the detachment is home, they will still be on alert.

“I feel proud they are home,” said Moses. “But obviously the job is never done, and their job is not done until November.

This will give them the ability to reset in between their operational application of what we bring to the fight, but right now it’s to get them back for the 4th of July.

There’s no better day to get them back home and safe.”

The 24th MEU deployed in March as the Central Command theater reserve and participated in multilateral exercises in Jordan and Morocco. It is expected to rotate with another MEU and return to the East Coast in November.

While attached to the MEU, the detachment is under the command of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261 (Reinforced).

The detachment’s return marks the first time the entire squadron was at home together since September 2010. Before, the whole squadron was not in the same place at the same time since 9/11.

Carls, combat camera team chief, 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, Regimental Combat Team 6, is on his third combat deployment, his second to Afghanistan. He documents the actions of 1st Bn., 8th Marines and the Afghan National Security Forces they partner with.

To date, Carls and his team submitted more than 580 photos and 282 minutes of video on 72 different missions. He also started a new way to improve morale here and at home. “We offer the opportunity for the Marines to send a personal message with a different background than what you would have on a web camera,� said Carls.

“It gives their loved ones the opportunity to have something they can watch over and over as if they were there with them. It’s like sending a piece of themselves home.�

Carls has a longstanding tradition of military service in his family, starting with his great-grandfather who served as a Marine in World War II. “Every male in my family enlisted in the military as soon as they turned 18,� Carls explained. “My grandfather told me, ‘You shouldn’t vote for something you don’t understand, and after you’ve served in the military, you will know exactly what you’re voting for.’ “After he passed away, we buried him at Arlington National Cemetery, and the Marines there gave him the three volley.

“He has an air of confidence and enthusiasm the Marines see as soon as he walks through the door,� said Gunnery Sgt. Lamar Outlaw, the battalion administration chief and Carls’ direct supervisor. “He’s a self-starter who can take a broad concept and turn it into a reality. He’s just as effective here getting shots at as he was in garrison. At the end of even some of the worst days, he’s asking Marines about their morale and making sure they are taken care of.�

Carls hopes to one day retire and be able to watch the History Channel with his family and have his footage used to tell a story about what happened in Afghanistan. “I want to always be a loving husband and a better father for my kids, but my ultimate goal is to give them a chance to see what I did throughout my life with the pictures and video I took because those will outlast me.� Carls said.

ENGINEERS FROM 1A Several IEDs were found or struck along the route to the VSP, and insurgents also engaged the company with small arms fire.

Despite these challenges, 8th ESB was eager to support SOTF-W and successfully accomplished the mission. “This is definitely the most exciting mission we completed during this deployment so far,� said Lance Cpl. David Laviolette, motor transport operator, 8th ESB.

A devoted husband and father to five children, Carls has pushed through repeated deployments, and despite being thousands of miles from home, he still manages to teach his kids life lessons. “I tell my 14-year-old son, if you put in the extra effort and do things right the first time, it makes things easier in the long run, because you don’t have to do it over and over,� Carls said. “When he’s older he’ll do so much better at work and school. But the best advice I’ve ever given to my kids is listen to your mom because she’s always right,� he said with a laugh.

Carls has the enthusiasm and infectious attitude of a Marine right out of boot camp.

Comrades remember fallen EOD Marine PFC. FRANKLIN E. MERCADO 2nd Marine Logistics Group

M

arines and sailors with 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group filled the pews of the Protestant Chapel aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune June 29 during a memorial service to commemorate the life of one of their own.

Staff Sgt. Joseph D’Augustine was killed in action while supporting 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division in Helmand province, Afghanistan March 27.

While serving with 3rd Bn., 7th Marines, D’Augustine was responsible for the neutralization of 73 improvised explosive devices and the destruction of over 1,000 lbs of homemade explosives.

“He was a great Marine and good at Photo by Sgt. Anthony L. Ortiz his job,” said Staff Sgt. Steven Tamm, an Marines and sailors with 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics EOD technician with 8th ESB. “He got Group listen as Lt. Cmdr. Danny B. Purvis, the battalion’s chaplain, speaks selected for staff sergeant his first time during a memorial service in honor of Staff Sgt. Joseph D’Augustine at the around, but he wouldn’t brag about it. It’s Protestant Chapel aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune June 29. not the type of guy he was.”

As the ceremony continued, Sgt. Kyle Street, an EOD technician with 8th ESB, spoke on behalf of his lost friend.

“I never met anyone who didn’t like him,” he said. “We formed a bond at (military occupational specialty school).

He was a great friend and great Marine … I will miss him forever.”

With the ceremony nearing its end, Lt. Cmdr. Danny B. Purvis, the battalion’s chaplain, closed the ceremony with remarks of his own.

“Hearing everyone talk about (D’Augustine) upsets me, because we didn’t have a chance to meet,” he said.

“If all I know about him is what I know today, then it is enough.

“There are 300 million people in this country and less than one percent have the courage he had. If those odds weren’t enough, he did a job an even smaller percentage of people would even try to do.

He was a great man, son, brother and Marine.”

For his actions, D’Augustine was posthumously promoted to his current rank of staff sergeant and awarded the Bronze Star with a combat distinguishing device.

Military families often unaware of life insurance benefits

British Army Brigadier Stuart Skeates, deputy commander of Regional Command (Southwest), listens to an Afghan leader during a security meeting at Delaram District center recently. Senior Afghan National Security Forces and district and provincial-level leaders met with Skeates and Marines from Regimental Combat Team 6 to discuss the impending security transition in Delaram from coalition forces to ANSF.

DELARAM DISTRICT CENTER, AFGHANISTAN

Afghans ready for security, responsibility in Delaram STAFF SGT. BRIAN BUCKWALTER Regimental Combat Team 6

Senior Afghan and coalition leadership discussed an impending Delaram district security transition during a meeting recently.

British Army Brigadier Stuart Skeates, deputy commander of Regional Command (Southwest), traveled to Delaram to meet with the Afghan National Security Force, Afghan government leaders and Marines with Regimental Combat Team 6.

The regiment advises their Afghan partners through embedded and civil affairs teams. “There’s real progress,�

Skeates said about the ANSF and local government capabilities. “There’s confidence. The Afghans are up for (the security transition), and they can look after themselves.�

Skeates said the Afghans

are serious about independently taking control of the region, mentioning that the provincial governor’s chief of staff and the provincial chief of police drove 125 miles from Nimruz province’s capital, Zaranj, for the meeting.

The leaders discussed the challenges of handling security and government post-coalition involvement. “What’s really encouraging is the fact they understand what those challenges are and, probably more importantly, what they need to do about it,�

Skeates said.

Two issues are communication between separate ANSF components and ensuring district-level information gets routed to the provincial level. The solution, said Skeates, is a fully-staffed district operations coordination center.

Delaram’s existing OCC capabilities are limited, but meeting attendees agreed to focus resources

to improve it.

Another concern for the Afghan leaders was mitigating the continued improvised explosive device threat in the area. It’s a concern Skeates said he shares, but he noted the Afghan counter-IED capability is improving.

At Forward Operating Base Delaram II, coalition forces are training Afghan National Army soldiers in advanced counter-IED techniques. Skeates also encouraged the ANSF leaders to send students to courses offered at Camp Leatherneck and the ANA’s Camp Shorabak.

Skeates said the reason meetings to discuss a security transition are happening is because the Afghans are ready to take control. “You have every reason to be confident� especially with progress made over the past year, Skeates told the Afghan leaders. “All of the solutions lie in your hands, not ours.�

With more than 6,000 U.S. military fatalities to date stemming from recent conflicts overseas – and more than 48,000 wounded in action in those conflicts – it’s now more important than ever for survivors of disabled veterans to know about life insurance policies that could mean benefits go unclaimed.

Veterans Benefit Recovery, an organization helping survivors and beneficiaries research and obtain the insurance benefits belonging to them, is running an awareness campaigns about these issues in the Jacksonville, N.C., area.

Jacksonville, home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, is also headquarters for the Marines’ Wounded Warrior Regiment’s East Battalion.

The WWR provides nonmedical aid to wounded, ill and injured Marines – and sailors attached to or directly supporting Marine units – and their family members. The regiment assisted more than 27,000 service members – 60 percent of whom were wounded in combat – since its establishment in 2007. “Only a small percentage of these death benefits are getting paid,� said John White, president of Veterans Benefit Recovery and a Vietnam veteran. “Also, the benefits paid are up to $400,000, and the majority of policies are of this top amount. Our mission is to ensure survivors and beneficiaries receive the benefits to which they are entitled.�

Upon enlistment, service members automatically have the maximum $400,000 coverage available through the Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance program, though they can opt for less coverage or decline it. SGLI coverage stays in effect for 120 days after discharge. However, a service member who is up to 50 percent disabled at the time of discharge can retain SGLI coverage at no cost for up to two years.

He or she must apply for an extension.

This extension claim can be filed even

after a disabled veteran dies.

Service members pay SGLI premiums while on active duty and there is no cost to beneficiaries or their next of kin to receive benefits. However, policy proceeds are not paid automatically to beneficiaries or their next of kin, who have a one-year period in which to file for these benefits.

Veterans Benefit Recovery helps beneficiaries and survivors understand the claims process and investigates eligibility. Cases are then assigned to an accredited Veterans Affairs attorney to file claims on a client’s behalf. Veterans and their survivors can check their eligibility for benefits by contacting VBR through its website, veteransbenefitrecovery.org.

More than 4,400 U.S. military personnel died as a result of the recent conflict in Iraq, according to the Defense Department, and more than 1,800 died in Afghanistan. The number of wounded is even more staggering. More than 32,000 wounded in action in Iraq and more than 16,000 in Afghanistan. “More disabled veterans are coming home now compared with previous wars,� White said. “That’s because the best medical help is more available faster, and many who would die from injuries on the battlefield end up surviving.

This makes the need for veterans and their loved ones to claim the benefits due them even more imperative.�

The mission of Veterans Benefit Recovery is to raise awareness of service members’ life insurance policies among veterans and their survivors.

It also helps find heirs and relatives of deceased veterans so they may claim benefits unknown to them.

According to Randy Reichler, retired activities office coordinator aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the Disability Extended SGLI is a real issue facing many veterans, and the Veteran Benefit Recovery is a notfor-profit organization serving as an intermediary when referring claimants to lawyers.

Rocky seas keep anglers from venturing into deep

Most North Carolina locals know the hottest time of the year is July.

When families flock to the beach and anglers head out in search of a good catch, the long, lazy days of summer become as typical and busy as any other day of the year.

Even in the heat, fish are being caught along the Crystal Coast. With water temperatures peaking in July and August, anglers typically enjoy fruitful fishing trips in the height of summer.

For the unseasoned angler, two basic approaches to catching summer fish are easy to come by.

First, don’t be afraid to change your fishing habits. If you usually fish in the afternoon try going out early in the morning or late at night for spots and sea mullet.

By avoiding the midday heat, you stand a greater chance of catching fish.

Like humans, fish try to keep cool. They tend to stay in deeper waters in the heat of the day and swim up to the surface in the evenings. They also gather in shady areas, around bridges, piers and docks. If you are offshore, try the thermoclines, which provide a cooling

shelter for various species.

If you can’t change your fishing schedule try to target hotwater tolerant species of fish.

Fish such as pompano, spadefish, sheepshead and tarpon thrive in hot water. With heat wave after heat wave sweeping across the country try your hand at speciesspecific fishing.

Speaking of speciesspecific fishing, it is almost time to start targeting the Old Neuse River drum fishery. Anglers flock to this fishery at dawn and dusk on a regular basis. Using baits like large fresh shrimp and mole crabs, anglers reel in pompano and mullet.

Spadefish anglers hook their fish with clams and chunks of jellyfish, while other anglers lure sheepshead with sea urchins and sand fiddlers.

As far as the near shore bite black sea bass are active on the artificial reefs, rocks and sunken wrecks. While there are plenty of sizable sea bass in our area most anglers have to reef and wreck-hop until they find quality fish. With current regulations of 13 inches and a bag limit of five fish per person, anglers have to be picky about the fish they keep and the ones they let get away. I heard of anglers targeting areas like the Beaufort Inlet, Station Rock, Lost Rock, 45 Minute Rock and Christmas Rock.

If you decide to spend a day at the reefs you are sure to catch flounder.

Many anglers saw floun-

der caught on two-ounce bucktail jigs with Gulp! bait attached to the end.

While you’re flounder fishing, don’t forget to cast a live mullet minnow and see if you can lure a large Spanish mackerel, a cobia or a small king mackerel. The Spanish mackerel bite is still doing well in more than 30 feet of water along the beach and around the Beaufort, Bogue and New River inlets.

The sheepshead are still biting near the Morehead Port wall, and the bridges and waterway docks are seeing sheepshead action as well.

Anglers reported large catches near oyster beds in the sound, where they also noticed an increasing number of black drum.

Reports of sizable speckled trout are floating through the area.

Many anglers report catching speckled trout and gator trout with live shrimp, plastic shrimp, or mud minnows as bait.

If you fish at daybreak, some big speckled trout are biting top-water baits as well. Most anglers head toward New River, the Haystacks, Core Creek, Adams Creek and Neuse River to catch their summer trout quota each week.

If you’re looking for drum, you aren’t alone.

While I heard of a few in the Swansboro Marshes and along Core Creek, there are no noteworthy catches lately.

Pier fishing is typical for this time of year.

Most anglers catch a wide variety of fish but don’t see more than a few catches of any given species at one time.

Oceanana pier re-

ported large bluefish and Spanish mackerel, as well as some large rolling tarpon, small bottomfeeders, such as spots and sea mullet, and plenty of pinfish. A crowd on the pier also saw a spinner shark.

Seaview pier anglers caught Spanish mackerel, bluefish, drum, spots, sea mullet and a few trout and flounder.

The Surf City pier reeled in spades, spots, mullet, red and black drum, and large Spanish mackerel.

The Jolly Roger pier saw an increase in the number of sharks and Spanish mackerel caught.

Nobody reported any King mackerel catches.

Speaking of king mackerel, the only catches I heard of are small and hard to find.

None were landed from Bogue Banks or the Topsail island piers this year, and the only anglers who had any lucky catching sizable king mackerel were fishing offshore in deep waters.

Most offshore anglers had a bumpy ride. There are fish to be caught but reaching them is a difficult task. Blue marlin, wahoo and dolphin are waiting to be reeled in, but anglers have to first get offshore. No angler should ever attempt to go offshore in such bumpy seas. My suggestion is to wait for the water to calm down. If you do go out, be safe.

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.

Seals asked her grandmother to sign her up for the camp so she could learn to do something new. (Right) Emma Seals stands up to ride a wave during the Surfing Safari Kids Surf Camp at Onslow Beach aboard MCB Camp Lejeune Tuesday.

Surfing Safari kids take adventure to open waters JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

In the tale of “Moby Dick,” author Herman Melville’s character took to the sea when he found himself “growing grim about the mouth.” A place of comfort and solitude, the sea was open and tasted of freedom.

Every week, a new group of students flock to Onslow Beach, their place of freedom and comfort, to take to the sea. They don’t board large whaling ships, but instead choose to strap on ankle bands and tote surf boards past the breaking point before jump aboard and letting the ocean work its magic.

The Surfing Safari kids camp is a weeklong program aimed at helping kids learn to surf in the Atlantic waters. With a low student to teacher

ratio, participants in the surf camp are garunteed personalized attention, ensuring nobody is left out and everybody has plenty of time to sharpen their board-handling skills.

“I love the ocean, and I always feel better when I’m at the beach,” said IndoJax surf instructor, Blake Morris. “It’s my favorite activity and a good creative outlet I like to share with others. Something about the water always makes me feel better.”

For surfing students like Emma Seals the beach is a stress reliever and a new world to be explored.

Seals, who was visiting her grandparents at Onslow Beach for a July vacation, asked her grandmother if she could try something new. Her grandmother responded by signing her up for a week of surf lessons with Marine Corps Com-

munity Services aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Through the Surfing Safari camp, Seals met Morris and discovered she shared his passion for the open water.

“I like surfing a lot because it’s something that’s a lot of fun, and I get to be in the ocean,” said Seals. “I like the water, and it makes me feel good when I’m out here trying something new.”

In her first day of camp, Seals learned about the surf board and how to pop up on a wave. She took to the water, undaunted by the strong undertow, and listened to Morris’s tips as she learned to paddle and keep her balance on her board.

“Emma did a great job yesterday,” Morris said.

“She was tougher than the waves, and I was impressed that she stood up.

She held her own against the current and drifts.”

Despite waves breaking right on the shore, which don’t allow surfers much time to ride waves, Morris said Seals did a good job and refused to give up.

“I stood up three times on Monday,” explained Seals. “And when I fell, (Morris) helped me by telling me what to do.”

On her second day of camp, Seals and Morris were grateful to see calmer seas and prepared to work on balance and board control. Seals practiced popping up on her board on the sand for a while before she and Morris paddled into the water in search of the perfect wave.

Headquarters Battalion Marines paddle toward the finish line during the first event of the 2nd Marine Division Headquarters Battalion Commander’s Cup. The eight-event tournament was put together to build unit cohesion and camaraderie.

Headquarters Battalion makes splash at Commander’s Cup CPL. JEFF DREW

2nd Marine Division

Kayaks sliced through the cool waters at the Gottschalk Marina as Marines and sailors, caught up in each other’s wake, clashed paddles in hopes of winning the first event of the 2nd Marine Division Headquarters Battalion Commander’s Cup. The eight-event series kicked off with a splash as Marines with the battalion relay raced from buoy to buoy and back to the docks to tag other service members in their company.

“A Marine in my shop asked me if I wanted to get involved and I said, ‘Sure,’” mentioned Cpl. Ricardo Pardo, a clerk with the battalion. “There was great camaraderie throughout the companies. It was a lot of fun, and you get to know a lot of other people in the battalion.”

The event was a great

opportunity for the Marines and sailors of the battalion to come together and meet one another, and, for some, experience something new.

“It was my first time kayaking,” said Lance Cpl. Stanley Isidore, a mail clerk with the battalion. “It was fun but hard.

It was all upper body strength, and you have to learn how to navigate, which was tough. Everyone had fun, the barbecue was on point and the competition was there – it was just a big family event.”

Isidore, previously a motor transportation operator with 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, recently joined Headquarters Battalion. He mentioned his favorite part of the day was seeing all of the new faces and meeting everyone. He plans to continue participating in tournament events.

“I’m going to play dodge ball coming up,”

said Isidore. “I’m also signed up to be in the strongman event. I can’t wait.”

Suzanne McCurry the battalion’s family readiness officer mentioned the importance of the events, and why it was so important for Marines and their families.

“Headquarters Battalion is unlike any other battalion,” said McCurry.

“The Commander’s Cup is trying to build unit cohesion, to bring the Marines together as a unit. It’s important for not only the Marines to know each other, but also for the families to get together.”

The tournament will continue for the next few months with a dodge ball competition followed by basketball, golf, ultimate frisbee and flag football.

The tournament is scheduled to culminate Sept. 28 in a beach volleyball and tug-of-war event, which will decide the winner.

SOFTBALL FROM 1B excited after practices, and he’s been looking forward to the games. It’s a good way to break up the regular work week.”

Atkins was surprised at the fastpaced nature of the game.

“I didn’t know they could score so much,” admitted Atkins, who used to play soccer. “You don’t have such high scores in soccer. It’s something new I learned out here tonight.”

Through the hour-long game, 2nd Intel Bn. held onto a secure lead. With powerhouse hitters and solid fieldwork, they kept CLR-27 at bay, starting the season with a grandslam and a 26-5 victory.

Despite the large margin in scores, the game was about more than just running the bases. It was a time for families to escape the pressures of daily life aboard base.

“It’s good for the families to interact together and be out doing things,” said Roberto Aramayo, Atkins father. “I think it’s important for families to meet each other, and it’s a nice opportunity to do something in this beautiful weather, instead of sitting inside with the air conditioner blasting watching television for another night.”

In addition to giving service members and their families time out of the house, intramural teams offer wives and husbands of active-duty Marines and sailors time to see their spouses with their friends outside of work.

“You hear a lot about the guys your husband works with, but sometimes you don’t always get to see them very often,” explained Atkins.

“Having teams like these give the guys a chance to

get together and interact outside of work.

“These teams also give spouses a time to interact.

You can meet each other and form new friendships,” Atkins added.

As agile athletes took their positions on the field Monday evening, spectators commented on the newly renovated Harry Agganis field, which now features an astroturf infield and outfield.

“This is a great facility to play on,” commented Aramayo. “This is great entertainment and the ablity to use a field like this is an added bonus.”

MCB Camp Lejeune is home to two intramural softball leagues. With more than 20 teams represented in the National and American leagues, softball games take place at a variety of times on the Harry Agganis field and the Intramural field,

Sgt. James W. Bridger, a combat engineer with 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, takes a chance to offer some inspirational words to his son prior to participating in a match during a North American Grappling Association tournament at Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton, Va., recently. During the competition, Bridger’s son won first and third place in both categories he competed in respectively. This is the first time Bridger’s son participated in an official grappling tournament with his father.

Martial art helps Marine, son bond CPL. BRUNO J. BEGO

2nd Marine Logistics Group

Finding the time to bond with your kids in a highly demanding branch of military service such as the Marine Corps can be very challenging.

Sgt. James W. Bridger, a combat engineer with 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group and a member of the Lejeune Grappling Team since September 2011, figured the way to bond with his oldest son was through martial arts.

“It started by just coming home and watching (Ultimate Fighting Championship) fights on TV with my son,” Bridger said. “Eventually it came around to where I would come back home, and he would be in the room at 3 years old watching the fights by himself.”

Bridger realized his son’s desire to do martial arts was the perfect opportunity to improve their relationship.

“I started to introduce him to martial arts with the (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program),” Bridger explained. “He would watch as I would bring friends over to the house to teach them and train them. He always

wanted to participate.

“He loved training with the pugil sticks and batons,” he added. “I taught him the stuff I knew, and I trained him myself for a while.”

This was a good chance for him and his son to spend time together, as he expressed, but due to family issues and the needs of the Marine Corps, Bridger and his son were away from each other for more than a year.

“I entered him in a (martial arts academy) up in Virginia, where he lives,” he added. “I knew I couldn’t spend time with him every day, and I did not want him to lose his interest for the sport, so I signed him up.”

Although Bridger’s son attended the Brazilian JiuJitsu academy for almost a year, he never competed in a tournament before June 23.

During the tournament, not only did he have the chance to compete, but he also had the chance to see his dad participate in the same event.

“Seeing my son fight and win was priceless,” Bridger expressed with a sense of pride and joy as he spoke about his son.

“To see him grow into the

SURF FROM 2B Safari Kids Camp but will accept students as young as 5 as long as they can swim and are interested in learning a new sport.

“I like to have new students come out and give surfing a try,” admitted Morris.

“I love kids, and seeing them smile and laugh when they try something new. It’s a great feeling to be out here and teach them to do something I love. They almost always fall in love with surfing, too.”

The idea for the Surfing Safari Kids Camp came from Onslow Beach Program Manager Lloyd Karratti. Karratti and his staff began searching for a company to contract and teach surf lessons, but IndoJax found them first and shared their interest in teaching aboard base.

“We had a lot of people interested in surfing lessons on base, and we wanted to make them available on a regular basis.

We met with IndoJax, did the paperwork, and they started coming out.”

IndoJax, a company based in Wrightsville Beach, N.C., seized the opportunity and brought several new opportunities for members of the MCB Camp Lejeune community to enjoy surfing. They work with wounded warriors, offer group lessons, as well as one-on-one lessons and surf camps for all ages.

In addition to the new surf camps and lessons available to base patrons, the Crab

sport from the beginning and be there for his first official competition was great.”

The tournament was held at Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton, Va. Bridger’s son placed first and third in both categories in which he competed, respectively.

“My son already expressed his gratefulness, and his desire to participate in the next NAGA tournament,” Bridger added.

While Bridger is supportive of his son training and learning a martial art for three years, he also taught him the self-discipline aspect of it.

“This sport is very humbling,” he said. “You might be with your best friend, and he could make you tap out, so martial arts really teaches you how to be modest.”

Bridger expressed on multiple occasions he is proud of his son and will continue to support him in anything he wants to do.

“Ultimately what I want for my son is to be happy doing whatever sport he wants to do,” he concluded. “I am just very lucky he likes the same thing as me, but I will support him and teach him to be the best he can be.”

Shack offers surf board rentals for $20 per day.

“We’ve seen a huge increase in the number of people using our surf schools and renting boards this season,” explained Karratti. “I’m really excited to see the Crab Shack renting boards so often. Surfing seems to have taken off on base.”

The surf camps and the increase in board rentals is encouraging to the Onslow Beach staff and the IndoJax surf instructors, who are firm believers anybody can surf as long as they have a passion to learn.

“I used to surf myself, and when my son wanted to learn, I was thrilled,” said Karratti. “I told him as long as he really wanted to learn, he just had to get a board and we’d start practicing.”

“If you want to try it, just give it a go,” agreed Morris. “Surfing isn’t all about standing up. You have to actually enjoy what you’re doing, or it’s not worth your time.”

For uncertain students, Seals had a piece of advice to offer as she strapped her board to her ankle and waded into the water.

“You never know what you’ll be good at,” said the new surfer. “You might not think you’ll be very good, but if you give it a try, you might surprise yourself. You may be really good at something new.”

Children learn about Camp Lejeune’s critters LANCE CPL. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is home to a vast number of animals and plants. Many of them thrive, some struggle to survive, but all of them are aided by base patrons who act as nature’s shepherds.

Families attended Onslow Beach’s Expedition Mammals and Animals of North Carolina event hosted at the Onslow Beach Osprey Pavilion aboard MCB Camp Lejeune recently.

More than 40 people arrived for the event. Children had the opportunity to ask questions and learn about animals during the outdoor class offered by Marine Corps Community Services.

“I think it’s great to let everyone know what Camp Lejeune has to offer,” said Ruth Gooch, a reservations assistant with Onslow Beach, MCCS, who taught the class. “It’s important to let the kids know how much there is out there so they can take it when they grow up and possibly do things to help.”

Members of wildlife department brought shells from loggerhead sea turtles, displayed a turtle nest and talked to the children about the turtles that return each year to the beaches they hatched from.

“The class was awesome and very informative,” said Kelly Tatarowizz, a family member of a retired service member who attended the event with her children.

“It’s hands-on and the kids can see what

the animal actually looks like up close.”

Gooch also brought stuffed animals to include a fox, osprey, otter and black bear. The young participants were so intrigued by the displays they nearly touched the stuffed animal with the tips of their noses while looking.

“I’m thrilled to see the children enjoying (the event) and taking it so well,” said Gooch. “It always fun and easier for the kids to be interested when there’s something visually appealing to them. This is a unique group of participants because we have many different age groups represented.”

Throughout the class, hands continued to pop up and Gooch was sure to answer every question. Parents smiled as they watched their children grasp the desire to inquire.

“This program is great,” said Elizabeth Peralta, a military spouse who attended with her children. “We get to learn about the animals we have on the base, but the class was perfect for the kids. (MCCS) knows what children like. There are always games or hands-on activities for the children. I think it’s great MCCS hosts events like this for the families.”

Upcoming Expeditions: July 18 – History of Onslow County and MCB Camp Lejeune.

Workshop helps families prepare for natural disaster LANCE CPL. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Nature dealt North Carolina’s coast every natural disaster there is. These disasters can create chaos, but developing a plan can help manage the disorder and keep families safe.

Patrons of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune face the possibility of dangerous and destructive weather every year. To assist families in preparing for these worst-case scenarios, Marine Corps Community Services offers their Emergency Preparedness workshop hosted at Marine Corps Family Team Building aboard MCB Camp Lejeune’s Midway Park residential area.

The workshop covers every type of natural disaster, and the actions to take before, during and after. This class also included a lesson on weather terminology, guidance on making emergency kits and family emergency plans including plans for pets.

“We all know we should do this stuff, but there really isn’t a sense of urgency until we get the weather report. Then it becomes overwhelming.” said Anne Morey, the family readiness officer with 2nd Marine Division. “There is a sense of importance here. There are a lot of things we are told to do and think about, but this really is important and the consequences can be devastating.”

Breck Bregel, a retired Navy chaplain and life skills trainer with MCFTB, consulted with emergency management officials aboard base to help develop the curriculum.

A folder of information on everything discussed in the class is given to class participants with pages of resources listed for helpful references on planning for emergencies.

Families should always know what to do, and the class covers everything to ensure no detail is left out, said Bregel.

Hurricanes and tornadoes have the power to destroy homes and cities, but MCCS offers base patrons power in the form of knowledge; knowledge to keep families ahead and ready for the possible storm.

“If we’re prepared, whatever comes our way can be faced without the anxiety,” said Bregel. “It’s just like preventative medicine. It gives you greater peace of mind, and its stress management. Being prepared for natural disasters is important because help isn’t always available when everyone is affected and in need. We have to be able to help ourselves by properly planning.”

Future classes: July 16, Aug. 6 and 28 For more information on this workshop, visit www.mccslejeune.com or call 451-0176.

hen the Marine Corps throws a bash, they don’t just go big – they go explosive.

Marine Corps Community Services hosted a huge July Fourth Celebra-

tion at W.P.T. Hill field aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune that included country musician Chris Cavanaugh, a naturalization ceremony, patriotic music by the 2nd Marine Division Band, moon-bounces and for the children, the occasional snow cone tie-dyed t-shirt.

America’s birthday party at MCB Camp Lejeune was exciting, but what truly made this

event so memorable were the diverse reasons of what brought family and friends together to celebrate.

Some service members and dedicated civilian employees worked the holiday to provide a safe and entertaining evening to the public, others enjoyed their time off, a few spouses and family members of deployed loved ones SEE CELEBRATION 7D

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

Seniors check into ‘Marigold Hotel’ for exotic charm Now playing at Camp Lejeune “THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL” (PG-13) “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” is a romantic comedy-drama about a group of seniors who outsource their retirement to India.

Seven aging British pensioners decide to retire to India and live in a hotel advertised as a lavish senior living only to find out it’s not quite what they expected.

As it turns out, the rundown place kicks off new adventures for the old folks.

The retirees, who all have a few things in common, find love and a new lease on life when they take up residence in the old Indian hotel.

Dev Patel (“Slumdog Millionaire”) stars as Sonny Kapoor, a young optimistic and ambitious entrepreneur with big dreams, who is the innkeeper of the ramshackle hotel in Jaipur.

The disparate group of English pensioners who embark on a lifechanging journey to India is portrayed by Judi Dench (“Casino Royale”) as Evelyn Greenslade, who is recently widowed and financially strapped, Maggie Smith (“Harry Potter” series) as Muriel Donnelly, an old maid, afraid of anything foreign, who went to India to get a cheap hip replacement, Tom Wilkinson (“Mission Impossible: Ghost Patrol”)

as Graham Dashwood, a High Court judge who was born in India looking for a past love, Bill Nighy (“Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”) and Penelope Wilton (“Pride & Prejudice”) as Douglas and Jean Ainslie, an unhappily married couple, Celia Imrie (“Bridget Jones” series) as the frisky Madge Hardcastle looking for love, and Ronald Pickup (“Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time“) as Norman Cousins, a swinger who is still lying about his age.

John Madden (“Shakespeare in Love,” “The Debt”) directed this outstanding and talented British ensemble piece and took the word “outsourcing” to a new level.

The film is based on the 2004 novel, “These Foolish Things,” by Deborah Moggach, and explores how we deal with change.

“The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” is a charming and delightful little comedy-drama for both the young and old.

The contemporary and warm story unfolds like a travelogue and is full of humor, the illustrious and witty British cast is just wonderful, and the glorious cinematography shows off the exotic locale which is set against the chaotic and colorful Jaipur in India.

From the

FrontRow Front Row With Reinhild Moldenhauer Huneycutt

“Abraham Lincoln” Vampire Hunter” is a horror-fantasy adventure film and a fictional story about the secret life of our nation’s favorite president.

Based on a bestselling book, the story suggests when Abe was just a wee lad, his mother was bitten by a vampire, leading him to wage a lifelong shadow war against the undead.

The visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov reinvent the time-honored genre and present the terrifying creatures of the night just as they meant to be experienced – fierce, visceral, intense and bloodthirsty.

Benjamin Walker (“Flags of Our Fathers”) stars as Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, also known as history’s greatest hunter of the undead.

“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” is a huge thriller mash-up, a twisted yarn spun around a national hero in history and presented in a 3-D action horror film.

History teachers might all cringe at the thought – could there be anything more ridiculous?

‘Hunger Games’ spark interest at Teen SRP event Fowler and Estep teamed up to prepare the proceedings, which included having participants divide into two super districts, battle for supplies and confront each other in a trivia challenge. They also created a makeshift Cornacopia, a key prop from the book and movie.

“They planned this whole thing,” pointed out Fran Bing, youth services technician at the library. “The kids not only pick the books we read, but we allow them to design their own events.”

Bing said the fascination of the “Hunger Games” series extended well-beyond one age group because it is well-written and easy to read.

After losing many key members of the core teen group to graduation or relocation, Fowler and Estep welcome several new faces to the event.

“We put a lot more effort in making sure the summer events will attract a lot of attention,” Fowler stated. “We tend to have a lot more kids in the summer, and we want everyone to have a good time.”

The pair navigated the difficulties in deciding what was too much and what wasn’t enough for the party, and were ultimately able to create an enjoyable evening for other literary lovers like themselves.

When asked where she thinks the future of reading lies, Estep was quick to respond.

Fire is catching, and its glowing embers reveal a renewed passion for an ancient source of entertainment – reading.

The Harriotte B. Smith Library was transformed into a book-filled arena worthy of any tribute in the Hunger Games for the latest Teen Summer Reading Program event aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Tuesday.

“Most of us are fans of the books and the movie so it was perfect,” said Ireland Fowler, a member of the Teen Advisory Group. “Welcome to the first annual base Hunger Games.”

Author Suzanne Collins kept the popularity of young adult literature hot when word of her “Hunger Games” series spread like wildfire last year. The books, which also spawned a box office hit movie, have maintained on best-sellers lists around the world for months.

Throwing a Hunger Gamesinspired adventure for the summer program was an easy choice for the teen planning team who started the process several months ago.

“We wanted to have fun so we thought we could do our own tournament,” explained Lauren Estep, a TAG member.

Fowler shared her friend’s admiration for books.

Beware of growling Goliaths on prideful parade

Oh my word with Amy Binkley

Assistant managing editor

I am a little giant.

My stature may be less than threatening, but given the right provocation, I am a force to be reckoned with.

Nothing can stand in my way when there is a cause I am fighting for, an opportunity to be taken advantage of or a free trip to Hawaii

to be won. My competitive instincts kick into overdrive, and I feel like I can do anything.

Anything, that is, except dunk a basketball.

Did your parents ever say you could do anything you put your mind to? It’s not true. Ambition can ttake you far, but everyone h has their limits. Nothing h humbles me quite as fast as b being put on the foul line aand told to jump.

It’s no surprise I found giants fascinating given my vertical challenge. From Roald Dahl’s “The BFG” to the fumbling creature atop Jack’s beanstalk, I related to their larger-than-life personas. A big personality is necessary when the legs of an Amazon supermodel are not in your future.

Apparently, I wasn’t alone in my interest. Stories of giants are found throughout history in almost every culture and religion with characteristics ranging from hospitable to violent.

One quality, however, is shared by them all – pride.

A simple definition describes pride as a high or inordinate opinion of one’s own dignity, importance, merit or superiority. Possessing a healthy level of hubris can catapult you to success, but an overabundance will cause you to fall face first off your self-made pedestal.

Giants are the egotistical poster children, but their legends lie in what direction they focused their vanity.

Goliath, arguably the best-known behemoth,

built his reputation as a bully by flaunting his strength and negating any threat made toward his destruction. The biblical character made full armies shake in their boots and laughed at their weaknesses.

Centuries later, Goliath’s descendants still roam the earth. Their height may not give them away, but their arrogant cries of self-importance are easily spotted.

These modern day giants tend to be marked by a fierce love of competition, where anything conceived as a challenge invites them to keep score and win no matter what, even if it means hurting others along the way. They share the mindset of Will Ferrell’s “Talladega Nights” character who says, “If you ain’t

first, you’re last.”

Every family, office and branch of the military has them. They boast of their latest conquests loud enough for the entire neighborhood to hear, but any shortcomings are blamed on others.

“Don’t you know who I am?” is a phrase favored by Goliaths.

If you can’t think of anyone like this, it may very well be you.

In truth, many of these Herculean-types have very low self-confidence, and the only way they know how to build themselves up is to push people down. However, more often than not, their refusal to acknowledge their own weaknesses while pointing out those of others leads to their demise.

Goliath never saw the shepherd boy coming, and he was probably as surprised as anyone by the destruction a small stone could bring.

Finding the typical giant is effortless. Yet there are others whose presence isn’t as demanding, but whose influence is much more important.

The legend of Paul Bunyan is shared by American and Canadian folk-lore. Tall tales speak of his staggering height, his astronomical strength and his blue ox, Babe, but although he shared fictional DNA with Goliath, his genes carried traits unique to his character.

Familiarity cools excitement

NAVY LT. JISOP CHOI

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

About six years ago, my family visited Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., for the first time.

It was such an exciting experience. In fact, we enjoyed the visit so much, we ended up purchasing family-season passes. We opted for the least expensive pass and weren’t able to use it on weekends, holidays, summer vacation periods or the Christmas season.

To some, the ticket would seem useless, but as a pastor, going to Disneyland on weekends was not an option. My summer schedule was packed with vacation bible school, retreats and mission trips. Christmas was also one of the busiest times of my year. I usually took Mondays as my day of rest, and our kids were still too young to go to school. The ticket was perfect for our family.

Many of our Mondays were spent at the park, which wasn’t as packed as those other times our pass wasn’t valid. We had a great time each time we visited. The lines were short, and the weather was nice. We thoroughly enjoyed every corner of the park throughout the entire year.

However, all good things must come to an end, and our annual ticket was no exception.

Some may think we weren’t very happy about it, but it’s far from the truth. We were rather glad it finally came to an end.

We went to the park so many times toward the end of the season, we didn’t really care for the place anymore. In fact, sometimes we felt like we were obligated to go, even though we didn’t really want to, simply because we had the annual ticket.

The park became too familiar to us. Going to Disneyland wasn’t magical and exciting anymore. Plus, there were only certain kinds of rides my children enjoyed, and they were too young to ride some of the more exciting ones.

Disneyland isn’t magical to me anymore, and it may disappoint a couple of girls at my house, but I don’t think I’ll be missing out on something life changing.

Such is life.

Things lose excitement once they become familiar to us. We then give up on it in search of something else, something new to bring those butterflies back into our stomachs. It’s alright with many things in our lives.

However, in certain aspects of our lives, such an approach can be rather dangerous, as with the relationship with a spouse. Life with a loved one is completely different from going to a theme park. It is not about visiting the same place over and over; it is about embarking on a journey together into the unknown territories of life. Every day is the start of a new journey.

I think we approach too many important aspects of our lives as the way I did Disneyland – been there, done that, nothing more exciting.

Being able to approach things as though we are taking on a new journey every day may enable some to make profound changes to help them appreciate each day a little more.

Besides, I recently found out Disneyland California has some new major attractions that didn’t exist six years ago. I may visit the place again.

CELEBRATION FROM 1D also came. Everyone who gathered had one thing in common – knowing and respecting the sacrifices made so others may celebrate an Independence Day. Cavanaugh, whose parents both served in the Marine Corps, looked forward to playing for such a special audience.

“It’s always incredible to see and meet the men and women who have sacrificed so much,” he said. “I can’t imagine being in their or their families’ shoes. It’s a real honor to be here.”

While some service members celebrated their freedom overseas, their loved ones at home made the best out of the day.

“My husband is currently deployed with 3rd Battalion, 8th Marines,” said Damari Lozoya, who was with her daughter enjoying the music and snow cones. This is the family’s third deployment and the first one her daughter is aware of because she was born during the last one. “The holidays are not the same without him.”

The family recently moved to North Carolina and feels comforted knowing there is strong support and plenty of great events at MCB Camp Lejeune.

The support comes from thousands of dedicated people working to make each day better than the next, she said.

What made this party explosive – quite literally – however, was the outstanding fireworks display.

The lead-up to the fireworks began with the M101A1 Howitzers firing in conjunction with 2nd MarDiv Band’s rendition of Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” and ended with the grand finale of arguably one of the best fireworks shows in North Carolina.

Sgt. William Mullen, an artillery section chief from 3rd Battalion, 10th Marines, and his crew of Marines volunteered to work the holiday with the responsibility of firing the Vietnam-era Howitzers during the 21-gun-salute at noon with patriotic music before the big show.

“We’ve been practicing on and off for the past month

doing test fires to make sure everything goes right,” said Mullen. “Today is just another day like any other, we’re just shooting to music.”

The execution was flawless and their practice paid off, as did the efforts of the 2nd MarDiv Band, who performed when the explosives were shot. The band plays at numerous venues each year, but the fourth of July is one of the largest events they play.

When asked if he felt like he missed his holiday, Cpl. Andrew Zheng, a saxophone player for the band, quickly replied, “Not at all. I enjoy this. I enjoy entertaining people.”

The band played a number of old tunes mixed with newer beats, including songs by Toby Keith and Adele.

Their performance succeeded the naturalization ceremony, which celebrated 24 Marines and sailors’ first Independence Day as American citizens.

Cpl. J.R. Sigrah was granted his citizenship at the ceremony. Born in the Federated States of Micronesia, Sigrah hits his three-year mark serving in the Marine Corps this month. He explained the actual process to obtain citizenship was about a five-month wait but worth it.

“The United States has done too much for my family,” said Sigrah. “My dad was in the Army. I needed to add a bit of competition.”

Sigrah and many of the people in attendance had their family and friends to celebrate with, but duty called for others who were unable to spend time with their families this Independence Day. Aside from the fantastic fireworks display at the end of the night, stories like Lozoya, Zheng, Mullen and Sigrahs’ give reason to why this Fourth of July celebration aboard MCB Camp Lejeune is remarkable – while many in attendance serve to protect the nation, everyone in the crowd was there to celebrate America, fully cognizant of the sacrifices others have made and are making each day for our freedom.

GIANTS FROM 5D Paul Bunyan didn’t assume he was better than anyone even though he towered over them. He was considered a leader before he ever made the decision to be one, and the position proved daunting, hindering and, at times, inconvenient.

Blending into the crowd of the irresponsible is always appealing.

Instead, he chose to embrace his influence, not to keep others in awe of him, but to contribute to their well-being. Whether carving the Grand Canyon or stomping out Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes, Paul Bunyan never ostentatiously pointed out his achievements. He wore a mask of

meekness making sure everything he did favorably added to society.

Meekness isn’t weakness. It’s tempered pride.

Leaders worth following have confidence not only in themselves but the people around them. When victory comes, even if they did the majority of the work, they set aside their giant tendencies, and give praise and credit to those around them.

No one wants to be led by arrogance. Leaders whose confidence is balanced with constraint and wrapped in perseverance leave footprints colossal enough for anyone to follow.

Giants do more than growl, cause trouble and win football games.

Their differing stances of pride teach us what kind of leaders we can become. We can barge in with brute strength and take cruel control of those smaller than us, or we can take heed over our hubris and lead with humility.

The latter will leave a legacy of success. The former will leave a pile of rubble.

Pride comes before the fall, and when you’re a giant, your crash will make an indelible impact.

Don’t take the little guys for granted and watch out for flying stones.
