Maj. Gen. Carl Jensen, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations East, gave a speech during a ceremonial event marking the first shipment of biodiesel grown, processed and blended exclusively in North Carolina for the military, and delivered to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Monday.

The delivery of the B20 biodiesel was the culmination of years or collaboration facilitated

by North Carolina Eastern Region Region’ss Military Growth Task Force through a project known as Fuel the Force.

or many years the United States has heavily relied on foreign energy resources to supply the nation with the oil which has supported its working force, as well as its fighting force.

“We need to be energy self reliant,” said Maj. Gen. Carl Jensen, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations East. “I believe strongly that we have got to break our dependence on petrochemicals. You know it and I know it. Even worse than that, (it’s) a foreign petrochemical dependence. We need to start getting angles on that problem and do something about it.”

Jensen passed this message during a ceremonial event which included the inaugural shipment of 800 gallons of biodiesel grown, processed and blended exclusively in North Carolina for the military, and delivered to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, 9 a.m. Monday.

The delivery of the B20 biodiesel was the culmination of years of collaboration facilitated by North Carolina Eastern Region’s Military Growth Task Force through a project known

INSIDE THE GLOBE

as Fuel the Force. The driving force behind this project are North Carolina’s two leading industries, the military and agriculture, opening the doors to new development of infrastructures necessary for North Carolina’s farmers to provide the renewable fuels for the military.

“This represents the first fruits of our effort to try to get homegrown biodiesel to our military forces,” said George Miller, program manager with North Carolina’s Eastern Region MGTF. “We want to promote the balance between the military and the community.”

In 2007, the Marine Corps and Eastern North Carolina counties developed the MGTF to deal with issues within the region, but also implementing solutions with regional responses.

“This is a momentous day for us (and) we didn’t get here in one jump,” said Jensen. “This is just the beginning of this power of partnerships that I believe in the very near future is going to fundamentally alter the way we do business.”

The military is under a mandate to reduce its energy consumption 30 percent by 2015. With the support of the local community, such goals are possible.

Mission first, safety always – all day, every day LANCE CPL. JOSHUA J. HINES 2nd Marine Marine Division Public Pub Affairs

Day iin and day out, Marines and sailors face difficult and dangerous situations. situ Both on and off the battlefield, without using common sense sen and good judgment, many dangers can arise.

Every year, the Secretary of the Navy awards a small number of units i with i his prestigious Safety Excellence Award. In 2011, only 19 were selected and II Marine Expeditionary Force was among them.

Lt. Gen. John M. Paxton Jr., commanding general of II MEF, accepted the award on behalf of II MEF, in Washington, D.C., July 7. What follows is his congratulatory message to all the Marines, sailors, and civilians of II MEF for receiving this award: Congratulations Marines, Sailors and civilians of II MEF. On 7 July 2011, Sergeant Major Green, Command Master Chief Heap, Mr. John Murray, Mr. John Kratochvila and I had the honor and privilege of representing you to accept the Secretary of the Navy’s Safety Excellence Award for 2011 from the Honorable Ray Mabus, Secretary of the Navy. The Secretary of the Navy recognized only 19 commands/units from the entire Navy and Marine Corps. II MEF, VMAQ-2 and VMGR-452 were the sole USMC units recognized. What makes this award truly special is that it recognizes all the hard work and attention to detail YOU did during 2010 to keep yourselves and your fellow Marines, Sailors and civilians safe and mission ready. This highly competitive award comes at a great time – in the middle of the historically dangerous 101 days of summer – to remind ourselves to continue and renew our safety TTPs, and to use them. Thank you for what you did last year. Thank you for what you are doing this year – every day. I have every expectation that next year we will again be recognized by the Secretary of the Navy for individual and collective actions to keep all of us safe, sound and mission ready.

As it says on your award: Mission First, Safety Always – All Day, Every Day. Bravo Zulu and Semper Fidelis!

When reporters asked what Jensen was thinking the moment he filled the gas tank of the test vehicle, he said, “This is a very small stone down a mountainside, and (we) hope that it gains momentum.”

“It was no small task getting this fuel to the Marine Corps,” said Miller. “It was hard, but they got it done, thanks to some perseverance, a lot of red tape and paperwork - and for that I’d like to thank (Maj. Gen. Jensen) for being at the tip of the spear.”

Miraculously, Emmott survived the injury and was awarded the Silver Star for his heroic actions.

The award is presented for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States and is the

third highest award for valor in the United States armed forces.

“I’m not upset about (the injury) at all,” said Emmott. “We had gotten into a bunch of firefights that day, and it seemed like we were winning. It was honestly a really good day – minus the fact that I got shot in the head.”

Emmott’s family and fellow service members traveled to the Third annual Naval Safe Harbor Award Ceremony in Washington, D.C., July 14 to witness Emmott and other service members receive awards for work and actions involving the military.

Bicycles, pedestrians share the road Outdoor recreational activities such as running, walking, bicycling, skateboarding and rollerskating, naturally increase as the weather warms up and we move through the long anticipated summer vacationing months. We see runners continually throughout the year, but bicyclists are now seen more frequently on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune roads. Some wish to get their physical training in while heading to work, some to save money, others because they enjoy running or riding their bicycles. Regardless of why these Marines, sailors and civilians choose to participate in these activities, motorists must share the road. With increased participation in summer activities, the likelihood of a serious injury occurring increases if you’re not careful. There are ways to enjoy these and other summer activities without compromising your personal safety.

Bicyclists Bicycle riders will observe the same rules and regulations required of motorists according to Marine Corps Base Order P5560.2, and will ride on the right edge of the roadway with the flow of traffic in single line only.

That’s right; they can ride on the road. So stop shouting at them to “Get off.”

Bicycles may be operated during the hours of darkness if equipped with headlights, rear red reflectors and red lights. Reflective vests are required from evening to morning

colors and during periods of reduced visibility.

All bicycle riders traveling aboard the base are required to wear a bicycle helmet that meets the Snell Memorial Foundation or the American Standards Institute (ANSI) Z90.1-1971.

Riding bicycles is prohibited along portions of Holcomb Boulevard between Sneads Ferry Road and Brewster Boulevard. Use of the bike path along the tree line is authorized.

Vehicles should only pass bicycles when practical and safe to do so.

It is important to remember that a bicycle is not a toy; it’s a vehicle.

Pedestrians (includes jogging and walking) Walk or run on the left side of roadway facing traffic and stay at least six feet from the edge of the roadway.

Do not impede the flow of traffic.

Use sidewalks or running paths when available.

Pedestrians must wear reflective gear from evening to morning colors and during reduced visibility. Cross streets at marked crosswalks; it is safer. Riders have the right of way when crossing a road, but ensure that right is given before you cross.

Troop PT and Formations (BO P5560.2) Individuals, pedestrians or stragglers from formations engaged in PT will avoid impeding the normal flow of traffic. They must remain farther than six feet from any roadway. They will

wear reflective gear from evening to morning colors and during periods of reduced visibility. In addition, light colored clothing and other reflective gear (tape, shoe reflectors, reflective belts) is strongly encouraged and at least 30 square inches of reflective surface, 15 square inches in front and 15 square inches in rear, must be visible.

Marching troops and organized PT runs must avoid impeding traffic on Holcomb Boulevard between the main gate and Ash Street during rush hour traffic periods (5 to 8 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday.

Marching troops and organized PT runs will not impede traffic on Sneads Ferry Road between Holcomb Boulevard and Louis Road during the same rush hour traffic periods stated above.

Headphones/Earphones Use of portable headphones, earphones, or listening devices on base roads or streets is prohibited.

Stereo volume that invades the privacy of any individual is prohibited.

Respecting the rights of others by knowing and following the above regulations will ensure adequate traffic flow without jeopardizing pedestrian safety. Particular emphasis must be placed on the protection of our children riding their bicycles to and from school and playing in military housing areas. For more information, contact your unit safety officer or base safety representative.

“Camp Lejeune’s expansive acreage includes vitally important areas, historically and operationally, at Camp Johnson, Camp Geiger, Courthouse Bay, Stone Bay and the Greater Sandy Run Training Area. Camp Johnson, which now plays a crucial role in the follow-on training of thousands of Marines every year, was the first training base for black Marines. Originally known as Montford Point, black Marines attended boot camp while the nation was still racially segregated. After the walls of segregation came down, it was named in honor of Sergeant Major Gilbert H. “Hashmark” Johnson in 1974 and Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools was located there. Outside the gate of Camp Johnson stands a solemn tribute to Marines and Sailors who gave their lives keeping the peace in Lebanon. The Beirut Memorial is the site of an annual commemoration of the tragic Oct. 23, 1983 bombing of Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment’s headquarters in Beirut. A visit to the Jacksonville area isn’t complete without a stop at this memorial. Additionally, adjacent to the Beirut Memorial is the 9/11 Memorial and the Onslow Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

This collection of stunning memorials is referred to as Lejeune Memorial Gardens.”

Marines with 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (Forward), strap down pallets of water on a 7-ton, flat-bed truck. The logistics train with the unit delivered 68 pallets of water in a single day, which is nearly 50,000 bottles of water delivered across the Musa ‘Qala District in 24 hours.

ngines roar under the sunny morning sky as the monstrous trucks rumble outside their protected walls, where potential threats are constant and the terrain is unforgiving. From sunrise to sunset, these hard-working Marines are always on the move. It’s their mission to roll through the rough roads of Afghanistan from patrol base to patrol base, supplying their fellow warriors with food, water and any other supplies they need.

The motor transport section for 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, brave the all-too-real threat of roadside bombs to serve as the logistics train for the Marines and sailors throughout their battle space.

More than 14,000 miles have already been logged in the four months they have been supporting the hundreds of service members in the unit. The team of motor

transport operators travels these miles to provide food, water, fuel and any other essential supplies to keep the Marines in the fight. “My guys have been outstanding, especially with the resources they’ve had to work with,� said Sgt. Carlos Perry, a vehicle commander with the unit. “They willingly risk their lives every day to make sure the infantry Marines, who in turn are risking their lives for us, are supplied with what they need, and they do it with a smile.�

Perry added that smiles can quickly turn to straight faces, come game time, as they take their jobs quite seriously. Since March 11, when they already had about a month in Afghanistan, they’ve delivered more than 18,000 cases of food, 250,000 gallons of fuel, and about 1,400 pallets of water throughout the entire unit’s area of operations. In fact, they were able to supply 68 pallets in a single day. That’s nearly 50,000 bottles of water delivered across the Musa ‘Qala District in 24 hours.

Lance Cpl. John Gaw is a motor trans-

port operator with the logistics train and drives a 7-ton vehicle that carries thousands of pounds of supplies on a daily basis. He has driven more than 600 miles on his truck alone and delivered in excess of 5,000 boxes of food. “The numbers go on and on,� he said. “All this work, the driving and loading and unloading, takes a toll on your body, but we always stay alert for any type of improvised explosive device threat on the road.�

The bumpy, unpaved roads send the Marines bouncing back and forth, despite their vehicle safety belts. Still, they must remain vigilant and cautious with every push on the pedal. Explosive devices still lurk through some parts of their area of operations and are the leading cause of casualties for these Marines.

Marines like Cpl. Seth Soutiea-Burch has experienced the full force of an IED blast. After being struck, not once, but twice during the deployment, he still believes his experience has been a good one. “The first one knocked me unconscious.

So I guess I reacted slowly, but the second one I was ready for,� said the young gunner with a smirk. “I still think Afghanistan has been a nice experience, overall. I’ve been to a lot of areas around this place, and it’s nice to know we’re helping them out and making a difference.�

The Marines have helped keep the Betio Bastards, as the unit is known, from ever going without, food, water, fuel and even generators. They understand the risks that come with being out on the road every day and traveling through routes that put them in vulnerable positions for the enemy to attack. Perry continues to stand by his Marines, however, and has full confidence in their abilities to successfully accomplish any mission. “They do (their job) fearlessly, and a lot of them are more valiant than I’ll ever be,� said Perry. “One thing they’ve taught me was to never take life for granted because you can be here one day and gone the next. My guys have shown me what true courage is all about, and for that I am grateful.�

Documentation is key to successful claims To file for Veteran Assistance disability is a personal choice. VA disability is based on two primary things; the VA physical and the supporting documentation. Retirees need to see a county VA representative, Veteran Organization representative, or a Veteran Affairs officer to file a claim. An individual can file their own claim without seeing anyone, but that is not advisable. The acquired knowledge and experience of an expert is a great asset when filing a claim. It is important to have a copy of your active duty record, if not request it by submitting a Form 180 to Military Personnel Records. A VA Form 1010EZ - Application for health benefits or VA Form 21-526 - Application for compensation and/or pension must be filled out and sent to VA with the accompanying supporting documentation. Documentation can be requested by the VA. Usually, you will be notified VA has received your application within two months after you send it. VA will notify you where you must go for a medical evaluation.

When you receive your appointment, a questionnaire should be mailed to you with 22 questions on each disability claimed. This questionnaire is important and you should take great care in answering the questions. Take the questionnaire with you when you go see the doctor. Make a copy of the completed questionnaire before handing it in.

Occasionally, follow up visits or referrals may be scheduled. Documentation is essential to your claim. When you have a medical problem – have it documented. The VA uses a reference manual called CFR-38 to determine VA percentages from disabilities submitted. Those retirees that have been reluctant to file a claim should know that their family members may benefit indirectly from their VA rating. Retirees can contact the Retired Activities office at 451-0287 for further information and referral.

Calendar Second and fourth Thursday of the month at 6 p.m. - Survivor/Caregiver Support Group Meeting at DAV Hall at 300 Sherwood Road, Jacksonville, N.C. Aug. 9 at 10 a.m. - Base Retiree Council will meet in the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune library conference room.

STAR FROM 1A proud of the service he’s done and continues to make.�

When Emmott rose to make his way to the front stage to receive the award, the audience roared in applause. His fellow sailors, whom he deployed with, could be heard over the crowd yelling for him with pride. “He’s the guy you can count on, the guy you want on patrol with you,� said Petty Officer 2nd Class Andrew S. Drummond, a corpsman with 1st Bn., 2nd Marines. “When we first got to our area of operation, we were going on patrols two to three times a day and he was on every patrol. He never complained. He just did it.�

With a broad smile, Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, the vice chief of naval operations, pinned the Silver Star to Emmott’s chest and handed him the award citation. “You wonder what kind of person is this that we honor that can do this kind of business,� said Greenert. “It takes you back to an author, James Michener, who wrote a famous line about heroes: ‘Where do we get such people?’� said Greenert. “We get them from everyday life in this country, and we have a generation who are willing to stand up and say, ‘I’m going to take care of this country.’ It’s very, very encouraging to know we’re going to be in good hands.�

His visit was especially significant for two of CLB7’s Marines, as he presented the Purple Heart Medal to Staff Sgt. Shawn C. Vernon, a motor transport chief with the Embedded Partnering Team and Cpl. Bryan N. Bigley, a motor vehicle operator.

Vernon, received a concussion after his vehicle hit an improvised explosive device while escorting an Afghan National Army convoy from Kabul back to Patrol Base Amir, May 14. “It is definitely an honor to receive this award from him,� Vernon explained. “He seems like he cares about us and appreciates the effort troops are making in Afghanistan.�

Bigley, also sustained a concussion from an IED explosion while driving

his vehicle to Camp Dwyer, June 2. His convoy had just delivered supplies to infantry units aboard Forward Operating Base Geronimo. “It was definitely something else,� Bigley explained about the experience. “I feel honored that the secretary of defense not only presented the Purple Heart to me, but that he is taking the time to see and talk to the troops out here.�

Panetta spoke to all Marines present after the ceremony. He acknowledged the effort troops are making in Afghanistan. “As the new secretary of defense, I thought it was important for my first trip to be able to come out to the war zone to speak to the men and women who are putting their lives on the line on behalf of our country,� Panetta said. “I’m here to say thank you to all of you for your service, for your sacrifice and for your duty.�

Panetta spoke of some of his personal values to express how much he appreciates the sacrifice of service from the Marines and sailors who gathered around more closely than during the ceremonial formation. “Through public service,

Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta, speaks to Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 7, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), during his visit to Camp Dwyer, July 10. Panetta visited the troops in Afghanistan as part of his first tour as the secretary of defense in order to present two Marines with Purple Heart Medals.

I think we can make a difference,â€? he said. “A difference to make sure the lives of our children are better ‌ you are making a difference.â€?

Soon after his personal thoughts, Panetta mentioned the success troops have had at disrupting insurgency op-

erations in Afghanistan. “Every time you go out after targets here, you add to the effort to dismantle and disrupt al-Qaida and their allies,� he said. “You have been able to deal with Taliban here and allow the Afghans to get their country back, so they can govern it,

A chest-pounding thud ripped through the air as cannons blasted rounds through the sky. The historically symbolic display of artillery’s firepower engulfed the crowd with a cloud of smoke. Boggs approached the parade deck and turned to the crowd. “I would like to start off with a famous quote from Thomas Paine, ‘These are the times that try men’s souls,’� said Boggs.

What he was referring to was the challenge he took on with transforming 10th Marines into the powerhouse it is known for today. When Boggs originally came on deck, he said he was a little concerned about where his unit stood in —“The needs of the Marine Corps.� “Are we irrelevant? Are we a Cold War relic? Are we something of the industrial age and not a part of the information age?� said Boggs.

Boggs got straight to work and simultaneously trained and deployed units to Afghanistan. He made it a point to make sure his, “Kings of the battlefield,� didn’t become a relic.

Over the past several years, Boggs said the artillery community morphed into a multi-purpose task force that proved no matter what the circumstances are, any type of Marine unit can, “Adapt and overcome.� “We have been civil affairs, military police, infantry, trucks; you name it we did it,� said Boggs.

eventeen Afghan National Army soldiers graduated July 7 from the Combat Medic course at Joint Sustainment Academy Southwest.

The eight-week course, taught by Navy hospital corpsmen, teaches ANA soldiers the basic skills needed to operate effectively and efficiently on the battlefield under the mentorship of coalition forces.

“They are taught cardiopulmonary resuscitation, litter bearing, personal hygiene and how to handle toxic materials and trauma emergencies,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Alvin Ignacio, class mentor and adviser with JSAS. “They learn all the skills a certified emergency medical technician needs in the field.”

Sanctioned by the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Interior of Afghanistan, the courses provided at JSAS allow coalition forces and Afghan National Security Forces to continue to build on the partnership that promotes the country’s self-sustainment and independence.

“The graduates will go on to the field to apply everything they’ve learned throughout the eight weeks alongside coalition mentors while conducting operations,” said Petty Officer 2nd Class John Noble, the course’s lead instructor.

Afghan National Army graduates of the Combat Medical Course stand at attention alongside their coalition mentors, invited dignitaries and guests during their graduation ceremony at the Joint Sustainment Academy Southwest, Camp Leatherneck, Helmand province, July 7. This was the fourth edition of the course. During the training, ANA soldiers learned the skills an emergency medical technician needs in the field.

“We will continue to track their progress and provide continuing educational training so that they are up to speed with the latest developing technology and procedures.”

The graduation marked the fourth class of the course, noteworthy for the academic achievement of

its students, said Ignacio.

“Afghans attending the course usually averaged a grade point average score of at least 81 percent, but this last class has managed to push the bar to a level of 89 percent,” Noble explained.

“This has been the best class to date … the latest

class has lifted the benchmark of excellence for students to follow,” he added.

Students who excel or demonstrate exceptional potential are chosen to go through an additional twoweek instructors course held in Kabul.

“Now that I have completed my training, I’m

ready to teach my (Afghan) brothers, teach them how to help the injured during emergencies,” said Staff Sgt. Ahmad Monsoor, a soldier belonging to 215th Corps, 1st Brigade, 5th Kandak.

Monsoor was named the honor graduate after achieving the highest GPA

in the class and is headed to the instructor training course in Kabul.

The academy’s leadership also tracks former students through mentors in the field and selects those who are most proficient to become instructors so they can train even more Afghan troops.

arlier this year when Afghan National Army Sgt. Sarajadin was a student at the Joint Noncomissioned Officer Course at Joint Sustainment Academy Southwest, he studied not for himself, but for his fellow soldiers.

Sarajadin aspired to be an instructor, like the Marines who taught his course.

That day soon came. Following his JNCO course’s graduation in April, his Marine instructors determined that the performance and leadership that Sarajadin displayed qualified him to serve alongside them, and to help teach future classes of Afghan National Security Forces.

“The idea is to pick the student who best understands the concepts of the course and has shown a willingness to take charge,� said Staff Sgt. Jacob M. Hayes, staff noncommissioned officer in charge for the JNCO course at JSAS. Before Sarajadin set foot in JSAS, he already had combat experience. He had faced numerous improvised explosive devices during operations.

Now, during the current JNCO course here, Sarajadin uses that experience to teach Afghan soldiers how to patrol and use battlefield tactics to fight insurgents.

His countrymen learn how to clear buildings and how to form battle formations in urban and rural areas.

Using his personal experience with IEDs, Sarajadin recently taught his stu-

dents how to locate IEDs and how to properly set up a 360-degree perimeter around the hazard area and wait for a disposal team to arrive and destroy the device.

Students are better able to learn and grasp these and other concepts taught by Sarajadin because of his ability to relate to their situations, said Hayes. “I am proud of my Afghan instructor,� said ANA Sgt. Parwaz Barkzai, a student attending the JNCO course. “He’s been through everything we have been through, and now he is taking the lead to teach us so we can be better.�

Sarajadin and his Marine counterparts

N a t i o n a l

hope to find more prospective Afghan students who can make a similar transition from student to instructor. “My responsibility is to take care of the students so that some day they can do what I’m doing,� said Sarajadin. “I want to develop more Afghan instructors so we can stand on our own feet. The greatest things I learn from Marines are that they are smart. I want to make sure that the students leaving JSAS are also smart.�

Sarajadin’s students graduated from the JNCO course July 16. Sarajadin said the class features a couple of students who could become instructors like himself.

8th ESB, 2nd Tanks conduct joint operation PVT. BRIAN M. WOODRUFF 2nd Marine Division

D

uring a joint operation between 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, and 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, combat engineers set up rafts and moved tanks across a body of water aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, July 14.

The objective of the operation was to move 10 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks and one M88 Hercules heavy equipment recovery vehicle to a range where the Marines of 2nd Tanks would complete their annual qualifications.

According to Capt. Brad Klusmann, company commander with 8th ESB, Company C, this sort of mission requires something only 8th ESB can provide.

“We’re using bridges to float the tanks across the water, and we’re currently the only activeduty unit in the Marine Corps that has that capability,” said Klusmann. “This is a very unique skill set.”

Although the tanks have the ability to get to the range

without crossing over any body of water, the trip is long and expensive.

“We’re taking a long and tedious process for these Marines and turning it into a few hours of loading and off loading,” said Staff Sgt. Andrew J. Brannen, the staff noncommissioned officer in charge with 8th ESB. “This way, they have more time and energy to concentrate on their qualifications.”

Before the process of loading can begin, two days of preparation are vital to mission success. Marines must spend time setting up and configuring the Improved Float Bridge.

The Marines have the option of several different configurations. The one they chose to use can handle any 7-ton track vehicle.

“The amount of logistics that go into missions like this is huge,” said Sgt. Joshua L. Currie, a combat engineer with 8th ESB. “We have to deal with putting together the bridge, bringing boat mechanics because of the usual wear and tear problems with the boats, as well as preparation for the M3 Bridge Erection Boats, which help guide the bridge through the water and mark the areas on its path.”

The M3s were also used alter-

nately as safety boats, cruising alongside the bridge in case of an accident or man overboard, even though each Marine was required to wear a safety flotation vest and protective Kevlar helmet.

Once the bridge reached the shore, hydraulic pumps were used to help steady the bridge and get the ramp into the correct position for the track vehicles to board. Anchors were then used to keep the bridge steady while the vehicles were being loaded. The vehicle must come in straight to keep the bridge stable, because if it drifted too far to either side, the results could be disastrous.

“Safety is of the utmost importance in missions like this,” said Brannen. “On top of the usual mechanical problems, we also have civilians in the area fishing and boating. Marines always have to be aware.”

Although the Marines did make it through the mission safely, transporting all the vehicles, they know that with each similar mission, they must be equally as well prepared and alert.

“We do this pretty regularly, so we know what to expect, but we always keep an eye out for trouble,” said Brannen. “In the water, anything can happen.”

Marine trainers get firsthand look at Afghan police progress CPL. ADAM LEYENDECKER II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward)

During courses at the Joint Sustainment Academy Southwest, instructors train Afghan National Security Forces and track their progress until graduation.

Two Marine instructors at JSAS recently followed their pupils onto the battlefield to watch them utilize the skills they taught them at the academy in a realworld combat environment.

Sgt. Matthew P. Boyle and Cpl. Joshua Hillyard were sent forward from Camp Leatherneck for more than two months to patrol with some of the

ANSF students who at one point attended their classes at the academy.

Boyle taught the Joint Noncommissioned Officer course in April. The main points Boyle taught the students were patrolling, improvised explosive device awareness and weapons tactics.

Though many students grasped the techniques taught at the academy, said Boyle, he noted how rewarding it is, as an instructor, to see them using those same maneuvers and tactics in an actual combat situation.

Afghan border police who had completed advanced training at JSAS could be seen using the formations taught by the

instructors during their patrols in the far south of Helmand province, he added.

“I noticed the students who had attended JSAS because of their level of maturity,” said Boyle.

While out on patrols with the border police, the Marines’ mission was to ensure the ANSF were retaining their knowledge and applying it correctly in the right circumstance.

The students, who had received JSAS training, seemed less likely to panic or worry when a situation arose and a decision needed to be made, observed Hillyard.

The ABP Hillyard observed in the field applied many of the training and

safety techniques they had been taught, to include setting up and conducting their own live-fire ranges, he said.

The Marines’ were so impressed by the JSAS graduates, that they said they plan to send their own troops to the academy for follow on courses such as the Generator Course and the Combat Medic Course, said Hillyard.

While outside Camp Leatherneck, Boyle said he and his former students shared past memories and moments from the academy.

“The contribution of time and patience is making the biggest difference with the development of security forces,” said Boyle.

Blue, gold star parents urge support system between military families CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

A

father was too old to join his boys – he didn’t need anyone to tell him that. He couldn’t bring them back, though many shared in the same desire.

He hoped America wouldn’t join in the war that engulfed the world, but it had, bringing along with it hundreds of thousands of others, including his two sons. He couldn’t go, they couldn’t stay, but he wanted to do something more than write letters, letters he didn’t even know were received.

He wanted to do more to recognize their struggle. He looked toward his window and saw his wife’s sewing materials on the table beside it, strewn with blue and white material.

As the story goes, a father with two sons stationed in France during World War I wanted to somehow recognize their efforts overseas. He formulated the idea to place a rectangular flag in his window decorated in the colors of the American flag – a white background with red trimming and two blue stars in the center, one for each son. The symbol eventually caught on with families placing a similar flag in their windows marking how many children they had in the armed forces.

However, what would tell of a son or daughter who had fallen far, far away from home?

“They would then sew a gold star over the place of the blue one,” said Deb Tanish, a Marine Corps wife and mother of a fallen soldier. “In 2004, I had to do the same thing.”

From an early age, Patrick Tanish knew he wanted to be a warrior for the country, and found his calling in the U.S. Army. Working his way to become a cavalry scout, Sgt. Tanish deployed to Iraq in April of 2003 with the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, later renamed to the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment.

“As a scout, his job with his other soldiers was to bring out the enemy for the rest of his unit,” said Tanish. “A lot of his men were scared and reluctant to put themselves in harm’s way, but Pat said, ‘I know you’re scared, but there are others who are looking up to us to do our job, a whole country that depends on us, and that’s why we’re here.’”

Deb read this recollection in a letter one of Patrick’s fellow soldiers sent her following the events of February 2004, when Patrick was killed by a roadside improvised explosive device while on a mounted patrol outside of Baghdad. This frequently-used, cowardly attack that has been plaguing the safety of service members in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001 had claimed yet another life.

“After we got that knock on the door, I just wanted to sit and cry forever,” said Tanish. “But that’s not what Pat would have expected of me. No matter how much it hurts and makes me want to cry, it’s not as important as supporting the others going through the same thing as me.”

Colleen Greene had a rocky history since the birth of her son.

Enduring a divorce and raising her child by herself, there’s little that can impose a mark upon her steel resolve – other than her son becoming a Marine Corps infantryman during a time of war.

“He came home from school one day and said, ‘Hey mom, just to let you know, I’m joining the Marine Corps,’” said Greene. “I told him that if he was serious, join as a motor transport mechanic or something like that so he could fix the trucks and then relax. So after he comes back from his recruiter, I asked if that’s what he chose. He said ‘Nope, I’m going to be an infantryman!’”

Prior to her son’s first combat deployment, Greene was absolutely oblivious to the ins and outs of the Marine Corps or what the significance of blue and gold stars were. However, during that deployment, she met up with Tanish who took her into

Colleen Greene (left) and Deb Tanish stand with their respective blue and gold star flags; the blue symbolizing that they either have a son or daughter in the armed forces and the gold meaning a son or daughter has died while in the service. Following her son’s death in 2004, Tanish has made it her mission to spread the stars meaning and the knowledge of various support groups for blue and gold star parents who do not realize the support system available to them. her world and provided her with the best support system a single mother with a deployed infantry son could want.

“It’s been almost eight years since Pat died, and more and more parents are becoming gold star families,” said Tanish. “Instead of crying in my beer for the past eight years, I made it my mission to educate all the blue and gold star families as well as the public on what these star symbols stand for and that those who hold them are not alone.”

From public speaking events to television interviews, the Tanishs have made it their duty to spread the knowledge of the blue and gold star meanings and endorse that those with stars come together to help each other out.

The impact of the blue and gold stars’ importance in this country has gotten so as to create a multitude of support organizations

where the blue star parents support new gold star parents while gold star parents introduce new blue star parents to the ways of the military and deployments.

“I know what they’re up against overseas, and we at home keep these strong support systems in an effort to be there for one another,” said Greene. “It is extremely hard going about your life and constantly worrying what could be happening to him, especially when there’s no one there to open up to about it.”

On the day of her son’s second deployment with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division to Afghanistan, Greene sat next to Tanish, who made the drive up from Florida to be there to support her. Both carried the stars of their family situation in the military, one blue, another gold, yet despite the vast difference between stories of their

sons, both are proud military parents who work to spread the awareness of the support system shared by all military parents.

“We’ve all experienced the same thing, so there’s a true heartto-heart connection that can happen,” said Greene. “That alone can be very helpful to a mother with a deployed child. In their unit they are a family themselves, and when they deploy their families, scattered across the country, can stay connected and support each other.”

Tanish and Greene are but two of a large network of families across this nation, sharing the commonality of having children serving in the armed forces.

The support one family can give to another is astronomical, and when that blue star becomes gold, no one else can understand but someone who has been there themselves.

Outdoor Adventures leads Marines, locals on Moonlight Kayak trip RUSSELL RU USS SSEL E L VARNER EL Sports editor

T

here is nothing like a perfect summer evening. There is also nothing like a perfect kayaking trip.

So why not combine the two?

That is exactly what the Outdoor Adventures Division of Marine Corps Community Services did Friday with their new Moonlight Kayak trips, a three-hour guided tour along the New River in Jacksonville, N.C., under the beautiful summer sky, which offered kayakers a mix between the red sky of the setting sun and the gorgeous white of the full moon.

“It’s something I’ve done on my own before.

MaryBeth (LeMaire, recreation specialist with Outdoor Adventures) and I bounced (the idea) around for a few days,” said Ben Flemming,

recreation assistant with Outdoor Adventures and one of the trip’s guides. “Eventually we said, ‘You know what, let’s do it.’ It’s pretty awesome.

The weather for us has turned out (great) tonight and when you have great weather and the moon is full, you won’t even need a flashlight out there.

I (had been) really looking forward to it.”

“Everybody enjoyed themselves,” added LeMaire. “Moonlight kayaking is actually pretty big in other areas because, being on the water, the moonlight can kind of guide you … It’s such a pretty area (and) it’s so different to see Jacksonville from the water than from (the road) … (It) made for some different scenery.”

The initial response to the trip was incredible. The trip filled up more than a week before the event took place, forcing those at Outdoor Adventures to spend the last week turning away potential kayakers or placing them on waiting

lists. The response has LeMaire and Flemming thinking of adding another moonlight kayak trip in late August or early September. The group already has another trip planned for Aug. 12.

“I think people have really started to realize, ‘There’s this thing on base and it’s a lot of fun. Maybe we need to give them a call,’” joked Flemming. “There are people (who) are beginners and have never done this (and I can’t wait for) them to experience it for the first time, realizing how amazing it is and hearing them ‘oohing’ and ‘ahhing.’”

The group traveled six miles in total, going up the New River, through Wilson Bay and to downtown Jacksonville, accompanied by three guides from Outdoor Adventures and a moon that was almost full on Friday night. The evening SEE KAYAK 7B

Little changing on fishing front as summer continues Onslow Offshore With Dr. Bogus

So take your pick of the fishing conditions this past week: futile and brutal southeast winds, dirt,y weedy ripping surf, getting sand blasted at the ankles or useless but calm, low humidity, clear puffy clouds and comfortable temperatures.

My wife and I spent the morning comfortably paddling (ostensibly fishing) along the White Oak River out of the Croatan Forest area in Cape Carteret. It was a spectacular day with plenty of bait in the water and a full moon lunar rising morning tide, and all we could come up with was a short flounder and a lizard fish.

Actually, the “we” was my wife Louise, as often is the case she will out fish me. We tried spinner baits, gulps, gold spoons,

top-water, suspending MirrOlures - you name it.

The surf has also been slow with a few hookups of drum, scattered pompano on sand fleas and some sea mullet on bloodworms and small blues. There have also been Spanish tantalizingly close to the beach, but only a few hookups on metal or fly. But where have all the flounder gone?

There are still good catches of flounder on the nearshore structure. I’ve also heard of a sevenpounder in the sound and Dale Collins of Bait Runner Charters landed a 24 inch, five-pound flatty in the Coast Guard Channel in Emerald Isle, probably bouncing a Gulp! on a bucktail.

You can find some keepers in the Morehead

Port wall area and the Causeway Bridge. There are a lot of flounder inside, but almost no legal 15 bu inchers. inc Also nearshore, Spanish h and blues can still be ccounted on for some action, especially out of acti Beaufort Inlet.

Bea In the marshes, the red drum are still a mystery d to find. However, there are a few in the Newport Marshes, around Hoop Pole Creek and from the creek west toward Pine Knoll Shores. There are also a few in the Middle Marshes.

Although there are not many redfish and seemingly fewer speckled trout, one angler hit the jackpot while throwing a top-water bait meant for a redfish and wound up with a 27.5 inch speckled trout. That’s some “by-catch.”

Pier fishing is in its typical summer slow. Oceanana Pier reports Spanish, blues, croakers and a couple flounder. Bogue Pier has had several days of nice Spanish landed late in the day on gold hooks, GotChas and some pushing four pounds on live pinfish. The only other things being caught are an occasional big shark and lots of small pinfish and maybe a sheepshead.

Seaview reports blues, flounder and trout on live baits. No big fish again

this week. Surf City Pier reported scattered trout, flounder, sheepshead, a few blues and Spanish.

Jolly Roger still has sheepshead and black drum in the four to eight pound range, with a few spots and sea mullet at night.

Offshore, your best bet is the Amberjacks, especially on the East side of the shoals. Try the DWreck (34 36.37, 76 18.88) there or if you prefer our side of the shoals, look for them at the 240-Rock or the Aeolus (34 16.695, 76 38.576). The dolphin bite is going well out at the 14Buoywith. The easy way to fish them is to pull a skirt, preferably blue, white or green with a strip of squid or pork rinds. The pork rinds are nearly indestructible and will stay on forever, but both work well.

Suggestion of the week: if you can’t find anything else, the sheepshead bite has been absolutely great this year, they pull hard and are great eating fish.

Sand fleas, fiddler crabs, live shrimp or sea urchins are your best baits for this fish.

Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command’s Martin Johensen (17) battles a forward from the Rejects for control of the ball in the second half of MARSOC’s dramatic 2-1 victory Wednesday at the Intramural Fields.

Johensen’s penalty kick tied the game late in the first half, and MARSOC added a late goal to walk away with a win despite only getting four shots on goal.

Intramural outdoor soccer season gets off to hot start RUSSELL VARNER Sports editor

The intramural soccer season is officially underway and the action has already reached mid-season pace.

Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, the Rejects team from 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Divison, the Bad Company team from 2nd Supply Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, and Combat Logistics Battalion 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, came together at the Intramural Fields aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, July 13, in the first week of the regular season for the league.

“We (may have) only had four shots on goal, but two went in,” said MARSOC Coach Attak Gyamfi. “That’s what we’re working on in practice. We need to get better. We need to get all four (shots) on target. Two of the shots went over the bar, so we need to (improve) that. But overall, we’re happy. “ The Rejects took control of the game with a goal halfway through the first half, but MARSOC equalized after they were taken down in the penalty box, leading to a penalty kick that Martin Johensen calmly slotted past the keeper, off the bar and into the back of the net. The first half

would end with the score deadlocked at 1-1.

The Rejects controlled the pace of play for much of the second half, constantly applying the pressure on MARSOC, but unable to get one past the keeper. But, with minutes remaining in the game, MARSOC was able to capitalize on a rare counterattack and chip one just over the goalie. The ball barely crossed the line before a Reject defender cleared it, but it was too late – MARSOC had a 2-1 lead that they would not relinquish.

“It feels good to get a win like that,” said Gyamfi. “It gets your confidence up … We formed the team late and we only had like six or seven people show up for practices, so I wasn’t sure how we were going to play today …

We’re happy with what we got because we played well today. We’re just going to improve and continue to work as a team.”

Afterward, Bad Company took on CLB-2 in the nightcap. While the game had as many, if not more, chances than the evening’s first game, neither squad was able to finish in front of the net as the game ended in a scoreless draw. It was a disappointing ending for both teams, which had hoped to start the season on a high note.

“It took us a long time, a good 20 to

30 minutes, for us to get together,” said Agustin Molinavarro, alternate captain for Bad Company. “When we did get on the same page, it was late in the game. You have to start at 100 percent, not at 30 or 40 and work your way up throughout the game. That was our downfall. However, we were able to keep it together and keep it from (being worse) than 0-0.”

Both teams had to withstand wave after wave of attack from their opponents as the back-and-forth affair played out like a heavyweight boxing match. But time after time, goalies would come up with saves or the ball would do everything but land in the back of the net. Despite the draw, Bad Company said that their outlook on the season remains just as bright as before, with everyone expecting nothing less than a championship come the end of the season.

“My expectations, like I told (my teammates) from the beginning, (is that) we have enough good players that once we come together, there is no reason why we shouldn’t win this league,” said Bad Company captain Alex Miner.

Summer Youth Sports Clinics open with soccer, tennis camps RUSSELL VARNER Sports editor

The Youth Sports Division of Marine Corps Community Services held the first of four weeks of youth sports clinics last week with weeklong soccer and tennis camps held at the Paradise Point soccer fields and tennis courts aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Numerous children, ranging in age from as young as 5 to as old as 15, braved the scorching summer heat to learn about a new sport, stay healthy and make new friends.

“We tried to teach them the basic fundamentals (of tennis), basic footwork, introduce them to the serve and try to introduce them to the sport in general, how much fun it is and how much harder it is than it looks,” said Jim Sheehan, tennis coach at Swansboro High School and head of the tennis camp. “I just like working with kids. I’ve been teaching for 32 years.

I like to watch the expression on (the kids’) faces when they do it right. It’s just fun.”

The tennis camp had children running back and forth across the tennis Photos by Russell Varner courts, practicing their forehands and (Above) A camper practices her serve Friday at the Youth Sports Tennis Clinic backhands and attempting to serve into at the Paradise Point tennis courts aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. hula-hoops placed on the ground. The (Below) A participant works on her shot during the Youth Sports Soccer Clinic, group was different from what Sheehan and his wife, Ellen, were used to workFriday. ing with - they normally work with players whose games are more refined – but that didn’t make it any less fun for the instructors or the kids.

“We had a blast and I hope the kids did (too). I’m glad I got the opportunity to do this,” he said. “These kids, we’re trying to teach them how to hit the ball.

The expectation level is different … This

is like a basic, ‘Let’s learn some fundamentals’ (camp) and I think we were successful in getting that across.”

Right next door to the tennis camp, children were learning about the beautiful game known as soccer, but in a different way than most camps.

“We differ from other agencies because we implement the speed and agility, the strength, the core training (and) nutrition,” said Jernavis Draughn, the head of the soccer camp and owner of Athletes Global. “Nowadays, that’s what the pros do: more resistance, speed and agility (training). Our first session, we had 5-year-olds training with resistance (bands). Imagine if you or I got that training when we were 5 years old.”

The unique training regiment had players doing everything from speed ladders to using a variation of miniature golf to help them work on their passing precision. Draughn said that each of the age groups did bring their unique challenges, but that he had a great time teaching them and watching all the children grow as they played.

He also made sure to emphasize one point about all the others to his campers.

“The number one thing (to remember) is it doesn’t matter about always winning,” he said. “It’s more about teamwork. It’s about improvement. It’s about doing these things when you are not here (to help you get better) … It’s just them learning something. Whether it’s speed and agility, if it’s life, if it’s something about the sport, as long as they take something from this camp and apply it to their lives, (it’s worth it).”

he first inning hadn’t gone WomanPower’s way all season in the Marine Corps Community Services Women’s Intramural Softball league, which was partially the reason why they ended up with a 1-3 record. July 12 was no different during the first game of the postseason at the Harry Agganis Field aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. However, they found life in the next inning to advance to the next round.

After giving up nine runs in the bottom of the first inning, WomanPower bounced back with eight runs in the top of the second, thanks to strong hitting and capitalizing off of poor pitching from the Leftovers, leading to a 17-12 win.

They now face the only undefeated team in the league, Shonuf, who is arguably the team to beat.

WomanPower coach Stan McCormick said he was not worried about Shonuf; he just wanted to celebrate their victory and focus on things they can improve for the next big game.

“They get the jitters in the first inning

of every game,” said McCormick. “But, after the first inning, they usually calm down and (we) focus on what’s at hand.

We tell them to have fun and not worry about anything.”

WomanPower caught a big break when the Leftovers’ pitcher, Jennifer “Salsa” Brown, walked eight straight batters after giving up two hits, which cut the Leftovers’ lead to five. Leftovers changed pitchers, but that was not the remedy.

Catasha McCormick, WomanPower’s centerfielder, stepped up to the plate for the second time in the inning. She saw a pitch that was, “in the right zone,” and cranked it over the outfielders’ heads in left center field for an inside-the-park grand slam, cutting the Leftovers’ lead to one. The next three batters grounded out to first to end the inning.

Leftovers added a run in the bottom of the second inning to make it a two-run lead, but that didn’t phase WomanPower.

In the top of the third inning, the pitching problems continued for the Leftovers as they walked four straight, which brought in a run to cut into the Leftovers’ lead to one. After a ground out and pop fly, Catasha stepped up to the plate with another bases loaded situation, only this time she singled and brought in two runs

to make it a 12-10 lead for WomanPower.

Again, the Leftovers made a pitching change, only to allow five more runs before finally getting out of the inning.

Due to the one-hour time limit, the Leftovers only had the bottom of the third inning to make a comeback. After a double to center field sent in two runs, the Leftovers ran out of juice and ended the game with two pop-outs in a row.

Catasha, referred to as the most valuable player from her teammates, knew she could capitalize on the Leftovers’ vulnerabilities.

“When I hit the grand slam, the (Leftovers) outfielders hadn’t seen any action the whole game,” said Catasha. “They weren’t that deep, so I hit it over their heads. The next time I came up, I saw that they were deep, so I hit it enough to go in between the infielders and outfielders, and we were able to send two runs in.”

Given her batting abilities to send runs home, she does not take all the credit. She credits the team.

“We all collectively put out best bats forward and came out on top,” said Catasha. “We still have a lot to work to do before our next game which will be tough, but for now, we will enjoy the win.”

During the second game of the night, the Crush set the mood in the top of the first inning by scoring two runs, and never looked back as they cruised to an 8-5 win over the Infinity. They will play in the championship against the winner between Shonuf and WomanPower, July 26.

The Crush’s coach Jerry Finley credited his team’s performance to the way they practiced the day before the game.

“We lost to Infinity last time we played them and we didn’t forget that,” said Finley. “We focused on hitting, fielding the ball, things like that. The girls came out to play tonight and they did well.”

With two runners on first and second in the top of the first, Shirlene Theriault

doubled into right field, sending Gabby Govea and Kelly Spangler home for an early 2-0 lead.

The Infinity bounced back in the bottom of the first with a sacrifice fly into center field, which sent Becky Austin home, and cut the Crush lead to one. The Crush countered by adding another run in the top of the second and three more in the top of the third to make it a 5-1 game going into the bottom half of the inning.

The Infinity came out with bats swinging, putting two runners on base, both in scoring position. Becky Austin popped out to center field for the first out in the inning, but they added a run when Kasi LoRusso tagged up on third base before stepping on home plate, making their deficit to just three. After putting two more runners on base to fill the bags, things looked promising, but smart defense got the Crush out of a jam.

The Crush added some insurance runs that proved vital in the top of the fifth inning, as the Infinity scored three runs of their own in the bottom of the fifth off of Tiffany Chandler’s three-run inside-thepark home run, cutting into Crush’s lead, 8-5. The Infinity’s Becky Austin grounded out to first base for the last out of the inning, sending the Crush into the championship game.

Julie Hendrix, one of the Crush’s outfielders, credited her team’s win to practice and a team effort.

“Our coach had us focus on a lot of things in practice that really helped us out today,” said Hendrix, who had two RBIs. “We were more relaxed, not stressed at all. We just applied what we did in practice, had fun and set our eyes on the championship game in a couple weeks.

We know it won’t be easy, but if we play how we practice, then we will be fine.”

A kayaker ventures through the New River during the Moonlight Kayak trip hosted by the Outdoor Adventures Division of Marine Corps Community Services, Friday.

KAYAK FROM 1B and calm winds only added to the experience.

“We had really good weather,” said LeMaire.

“We couldn’t ask for anything better. The waters were really flat and there wasn’t much current, so it made for a really nice paddle.”

“The weather was perfect and the timing was great,” added Gabrielle Higgins, recreation attendant with Outdoor Adventures. “We were a little concerned initially about when the moon

would rise, but it was perfect. The location was great.

The group was great. We had three guides, which was the perfect amount to make sure we were (prepared) on safety and everything.”

Outdoor Adventures also offers a weekly, hourlong guided kayak tours, but thought that a switch to an evening trip would be a good change of pace from the early afternoon and evening trips they normally offer, as seeing the river at 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. are

two completely different experiences.

“I definitely liked seeing the moon come up because that was beautiful,” said Higgins. “I also thought we had a really good group, one (part of the) group in particular that was from Camp Johnson was about to graduate and move on to all their different schools.

It was a big group of best friends and it was really nice that they all got to go and they were all so much fun and interactive.”

Very few, if any, changes are planned for the next Moonlight Kayak trip, thanks to the success of the first one.

There is very little to change; in fact, it may prove to be harder to match the overall experience of the first trip than to improve on it.

But for now, that is a good problem for Outdoor Adventures to have.

arine Corps Combat Service Support School and Camp Johnson welcomed a new commanding officer during a change of command ceremony behind the Camp Johnson Bachelor Officer’s Quarters, July 15.

The outgoing commanding officer, Col. Richard Fullerton, handed the reins over to Col. Terri Erdag, who was once a student at MCCSSS as a ground supply officer.

Many prominent guests attended the change of command, including former commanding officers as well as the Montford Point Marines, who brought along some original Montford Pointers.

Participating in the ceremony were staff members, students and instructors from the MCCSSS. Fullerton had some words to say to the Marines he has led for two years.

“I’d like to thank God for giving me the privilege to lead some of the most outstanding Marines, sailors and civilians,” said Fullerton. “I would also like to thank my wife for always being there for me.”

As commanding officer, Fullerton was in charge of MCCSSS as well as area commander for Camp Johnson, a tenant command of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Camp Johnson, formally named Montford Point, used to serve as a recruit training site for African-American Marines during World War II. In 1974, Montford Point was renamed to Camp Johnson in honor of Sgt. Maj. Gilbert (Hashmark) Johnson, who was one of the first of three AfricanAmerican men to enter into the Marine Corps, and was the first African-American to hold the rank of sergeant major.

Now, Camp Johnson serves as the training site for more than 7,000 U.S. and international military students in administrative and service support jobs.

“The Marines I am inheriting are the salt of the Earth. Without you, nothing moves,” Erdag stated.

She promised 100 percent commitment, from the schoolhouse to the warehouse.

Erdag was commissioned as a second lieutenant after she entered the enlisted commissioning program. Prior to being commissioned, she held the rank of sergeant as an aviation mechanic.

Erdag’s duty stations include 1st and 3rd Marine Logistics Groups, 2nd and 3rd Marine Aircraft Wings and 3rd Marine Division. During these tours, she deployed in support of Operation Desert Shield, Desert Storm and Operation Pacific Haven.

Since 9/11, Erdag has deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn.

Col. Richard Fullerton hands over the Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools’ colors to the incoming commanding officer, Col. Terri Erdag during a change of command ceremony aboard Camp Johnson. Erdag will be responsible for the Camp Johnson area as well as MCCSSS.

ailors from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Stati tion ion New River anchored dow d down at the American Leggion in Jacksonville, N.C. to o llend their helping hands dur d during the Drive-Thru Food Ban B Bank event hosted by Onslow Community Outreach, sl July 11.

More than 200 vehicles lined up for the drive-thru, which started at 12:30 p.m. and ended around 3 p.m.

The sailors who volunteered worked with OCO staff to load the cars of Jacksonville residents with free food supplies such as tomatoes, onions, squash, yogurt, bread, cakes, pies, hot dogs, salads and frozen meats.

“I’ve participated in this event for three years,” said Lt. Cmdr. John Rozema, chaplain with Marine Aircraft Group 29 on Marine Corps Air Station New River. “I was looking for a volunteer project to plug into and I got a hold of Remy (Stitt) and she invited me out, and I’ve been doing it ever since. The community gives so much to us and they support us so much. This is a great project. For a couple of hours we impact about 350 families a month.”

Stitt, the soup kitchen director with Onslow Community Outreach, has dedicated more than 11 years of service to helping the Onslow County Community.

All of the food handed out was provided by the Food Bank of Greenville. The drivethru is open to all Jacksonville residents, who can register at the American Legion on the

day of the event. Participants are asked to bring documentation that shows proof of residency. After registering, families can line-up and get their trunks filled with free food.

The families that lined-up for the event were civilian families as well as military.

Many are dealing with financial problems, and some family members have jobs or careers but others members of the household may be having trouble finding or holding on to a job.

Evidence in reports recently released by the U.S. Labor Department showed that America’s job crisis is worsening. With the drop in household incomes, families have begun to look for helpful resources, such as OCO’s drive-thru food bank, to help lessen the money spent on meals.

The drive-thru in Jacksonville is scheduled on the second Monday of every month.

There are also food banks held in other areas of Onslow County. Richlands hosts one on the first Monday, Sneads Ferry has one every third Monday and Swansboro holds theirs the fourth Monday of the month.

Stitt said they try to do all they can to help the community and how it is wonderful to have service members out there helping.

“Onslow (Community Outreach) is fantastic,” said Rozema. “They do (holiday) projects where they not only feed people at the soup kitchen, but they’ll deliver food supplies to about 500 families during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday.”

Base, area conducts 2011 Destructive Weather Exercise CPL. DAMANY S. COLEMAN

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

After this year’s Atlantic hurricane season brief May 25 and with the official start to hurricane season June 1, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is entering its next phase of awareness, prevention and training to prepare for torrential rains, high velocity winds and even flood damage.

During the brief months ago, area officials spoke about the season’s forecast, presented surge models and discussed some concerns encountered during last year’s hurricane drills.

The information and areas of concern, such as specific shelters for pets and pregnant women, were brought up once again at the Midrange Planning Conference, June 8. There, officials fine-tuned their data and intelligence to put into practical application during the Destructive Weather Exercise, held aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, July 11 through 15.

The annual exercise involves the mustering, deployment and demobilization of resources, according to the Marine Corps Base Order P3440.6G, which is the base’s destructive weather plan.

The first two days of the exercise consisted of releasing a simulated hurricane advisory and partial activation of the Emergency Operations Center. Partial activation includes setting Destructive Weather Condition IV and preparing the Goettge Memorial Field House for staging area operations.

“We receive equipment and personnel at the field house and account for each asset,” said Walter Kemp, lead staging area coordinator during the exercise. “When we get into Destructive Weather Condition II, we dispatch the equipment to the designated areas, where they remain for the duration of the hurricane, or in this case, the exercise.”

Kemp added that he supervises the deployment of assets such as shelter managers, generators for traffic lights and SEE WEATHER 2C

False claims spread like wildfire in Marine Corps PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

“

Dimethylamylamine,” a drug found in the 2010 World Anti-Doping Agency’s prohibited substances list was said to be an ingredient contained in Jack3d, a supplement used to improve athletic performance and body building.

News of the supplement containing an illegal drug was passed by commands aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and multiple Marine Corps installations across the country, recently. A Marine from MCB Camp Pendleton said he got the information from the U.S. Coast Guard, and told a friend of his.

Within a few days the majority of the Marine Corps was alerted.

Commands held briefs immediately with concern for the number of Marines and sailors using the product, and many had questions to answer.

“I couldn’t believe it when I heard that Jack3d contained (dimethylamylamine),” said Cpl. Michael So, an administrative clerk with Installation Personnel Administration Center, Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. “I know so many Marines who use it. I’ve used it for about two years and I’ve never failed a urinalysis.”

Jack3d can be found in stores on many military bases, to include MCB Camp Lejeune. Establishments carrying the product have been selling it for years, making claims of it containing the illegal drug questionable.

The word spread was partially true. The Department of Defense currently employs a three-test system to report a positive result for a urinalysis.

The first tests done are two immunoassays tests, a test used to detect the pres-

ence or quantity of a substance, and the final is a confirmatory test, which is a second analytical procedure used to identify the presence of a specific drug using a different technique and chemical principle in order to ensure reliability.

For the first tests, results may indicate a positive for amphetamines, however, the confirmatory test done by the Navy Drug Screening Lab negates the “false positive” that comes up from using Jack3d.

“When it comes to questions in regards to drug pops, the (substance abuse control officers) should be the only ones who really have to go to the Health Promotion Branch to figure things out,” said Staff Sgt. Ken Imamura, the SACO with Headquarters and Support Battalion. “All it takes is one person to freak out over something, without verifying the facts, for rumors to spread. It went Marine Corps wide, and it was a big problem because everyone was passing word but no one had the official word.”

Staff Sgt. Jose Yap, an administrative specialist with Headquarters and Support Battalion, MCB Camp Lejeune, noticed that he didn’t receive an e-mail with official word from the SACO about the claims, so he contacted Imamura to clarify if rumors were true.

“Any Marine that gets word of anything of this nature, and isn’t informed from SACO, Health Promotions Branch, Naval Drug Labs Florida or San Diego, should be confirming the information,” said Imamura.

When Imamura caught wind of the news, he immediately called for a rebuttal, so he verified the facts with Rollin Winston, drug demand reduction coordinator with Health Promotion Branch, Marine Corps Community Services, who confirmed that claims of the supplement were bogus. Imamura then sent e-mails to SEE CLAIMS 3C

Back on Track program immerses PTSD, CSR patients in discussion, treatment CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

S

ince the start of the Global War on Terrorism, there have been many factors that have shaped the way we look at modern warfare today, such as the historical “front lines” and enemy distinction becoming obsolete. Another factor that has come to national attention and increasing in frequency throughout this decade-long war is cases of post-traumatic stress disorder.

PTSD, first coming into the public eye as “shellshock” in World War I, was once something to be scoffed at.

Following the latter half of the century, documentations and tests have concluded that this mental influence is not something to laugh at, but a life-wrecking, and sometimes life-ending change.

“Back then, you either had PTSD or you didn’t,” said Navy Lt. Scottie Knox, clinical psychologist with the Mental Health Department, Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune. “Now you may have some symptoms that don’t fully meet a PTSD diagnosis, but have a level of combat stress reaction.”

This is why, along with a multitude of other programs, NHCL holds the Back On Track program, a two-week PTSD/CSR mediation class where patients diagnosed

Standing on the right half of a burnt world, a participant of the Back on Track program tells his feelings of dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder during an art therapy session, recently. The BOT program is a two-week mediation class designed to help service members returning from combat with PTSD or combat stress reaction control their emotions and feelings and talk about them in a group setting with either trauma work to control their complication in a group environment.

“The idea behind this class is to bring the (service members) who have experienced similar things into a group environment to discuss their issues,” said Knox. “After the first few days everyone connects as each others’ support system, and they start to open up. There’s a difference between trying to relate to someone’s combat experiences and having someone else there that experienced

something similar to talk about it.”

In the two weeks, the average 12-person group covers the entire spectrum of factors relating to strong mental health, ranging from the common understanding PTSD/CSR classes to the more unique sleep, nutrition and fitness, family and relationships and art expression classes. The latter classes, though not dealing directly with PTSD or CSR, all contribute to the strengthening of the mind and one’s outer

attitude and appearance.

“Anyone can sit and be lectured for hours and not gain anything,” said Willa Feldhaus, coordinator for the BOT program. “Here, they can discuss and gain the tools needed for self-application outside of our class. The class works for those who want to work for their health.”

While the majority of participants feel uneasy and hesitant in the beginning days of the class, the bulk of the two weeks are spent among new-found friends, greatly aiding in the initial recovering process. “(It is a) very good program, and I feel more confident in my ability to deal with my PTSD,” said an anonymous participant of the class. “I know I will not be immediately cured, but I now have more tools to help in the process.”

This country has moved beyond the point of dismissing the impact of PTSD and CSR and has proactively been tackling the problem of how to better identify and treat these debilitations in service members returning from combat. The Back on Track program is one step closer to reaching that goal aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

WEATHER FROM 1C other pieces of equipment to keep the base operational.

A Marine tasked with driving one of the humvees in the staging area, Lance Cpl. Matthew Nichols, Military Police Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, said after a hurricane, his assignment could include road clearance, providing security and evacuating personnel.

“It’s a good thing to be part of a community and help out if a hurricane swept through and caused damage,” said Nichols.

On the following day, July 13, DWC III was set. This included activation of the staging area. Activation of the EOC takes place during DWC II. It would be during DWC II that tactical equipment, vehicles and personnel would deploy from the staging area to assigned locations. Rapid Response Teams report into the Damage Control Recovery Center, and personnel from Headquarters and Support

Battalion, MCB Camp Lejeune, prepare designated locations around the area for shelter.

The remaining conditions, DWC I, DWC I Charlie, DWC I Echo and DWC I Romeo consists of the final evolutions of the destructive weather exercise. They are a progression from the beginning to the deactivation of the EOC, redeploying personnel and tactical equipment back to staging areas and later returned to their parent commands.

After all this complete, the base returns to DWC V and the EOC is deactivated.

Other personnel included in the exercise are Marine Corps Community Services, various command liaison officers, Public Affairs office, Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, Provost Marshal’s Office and the local fire department.

Every year, Atlantic Marine Corps Communities distributes thousands of satisfaction surveys to their residents.

According to an AMCC press release, a total of 7,161 surveys were distributed with a return rate of 43.2 percent. Not only were these the highest return rates ever in AMCC history, the surveys yielded the highest scores as well.

“The survey shows that our teams are performing extremely well and this survey helps AMCC continuously evaluate resident needs in order to plan for the future,” said Kathleen Murney, AMCC project director. “Our next steps are the most important and that includes addressing all of the concerns provided during the survey by our residents.”

An increase of 3.7 percent was found in overall satisfaction on the surveys, which measures AMCC’s readiness to solve problems, follow-through, property appearance, quality management and leasing.

The anonymous surveys are viewed exclusively by CEL & Associates, Inc., who gave AMCC high markings on condition and appearance of the community, responsiveness and ease of services and satisfaction with maintenance, safety and security of the community. Other high points were the characteristics of homes, leasing process and overall community satisfaction.

Murney added their goal is to increase service satisfaction every year, which they exceeded. Surveys, however, still can come back with both positive and negative feedback from the residents.

“Surveys can range from simple maintenance concerns in the home that we put in a request for and take care of for them, or it could be bigger issues such as landscaping or moving (residents) into a larger home,” said Murney. “They have their own needs and wants as a family. Our goal is to record those needs and do what we can to address them.”

Fidos aiding dogs in sniffing out bombs CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT

A member of the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Fire Department monitors a simulated weather advisory during this year’s Destructive Weather Exercise in the base’s Emergency Operations Center, July 13. Other personnel involved were Marine Corps Community Services, various command liaison officers, Public Affairs office, Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune and the base Provost Marshal’s Office.

AMCC survey results

According to various biologists and archeologists, the first domesticated canines were brought into family life some 15,000 years ago with the taming of the gray wolf. In the following centuries, the domestication was bred into each following generation until it became hereditary and branched off from its wolf ancestors to become modern-day dogs. These dogs, whose purpose was molded into that of human companionship, are now being used for a variety of functions today.

One of these strengths is a dog’s highly-developed sense of smell, able to sniff out the most diminutive scents, such as chemical fluctuations in the human body.

It is for this reason that the Department of Defense utilizes dogs as narcotic and explosive detectors, being able to register the smells telling of hidden drugs or bombs – a capability vitally important in today’s realm of security defense.

However, the technology for detecting these scents goes beyond the adopting of the Military Working Police Dog. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, working on their “Dog’s Nose Program,” developed a piece of technology that mimics a MWPD’s smelling capabilities – its operating system now being taught to Marines and civilians with the Provost Marshal’s Office aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

“This system does not give you false positives,” said Eric Raduenz, a regional equipment trainer with the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and High Yield Explosives Installation Preparedness aboard the base. “If you get a hit on the ‘Fido,’ you have a person with explosives.”

The Fido Portable Explosives Detector version 4.0 is the latest in bomb-detecting technology designed to be used during the Random Anti-Terrorism Measure roadblocks, scanning vehicles for explosives

utilizing nothing but the air.

A hand-held device attached to a control box and battery pack, the Fido system runs in either basic or expert mode, the latter having two modes of reading for explosive materials. The two modes in expert, vapor and particulate, either read the air inside of a vehicle for explosive materials’ molecules or read a sample of swabbed oils from a person’s hands or clothing.

The Fido’s hand-held scanner is equipped with a miniature fan, pulling the air into it and running it through a thin, glass tube which acts as a filter. When explosive particles run through that tube, an alarm goes off on the control box portion, recording the readings for further investigative evidence.

“The Fido is able to read and identify explosive molecules at a parts-per-billion level,” said Raduenz. “That means if there is one explosive molecule hidden in one billion clean ones, the Fido will be able to detect it.”

While this piece of explosive identification technology is akin to what some of the MWPDs are trained to do, it is stressed that it is by no means a replacement for the dogs. On average, a dog provides 15 minutes of solid work before becoming tired; the Fido system is limited only to its battery pack.

“The dogs serve a purpose, and this program is not meant to replace them,” said Lance Cpl. Andrew Gabbard, a patrolman with PMO. “With these, we’ll have the capabilities of the dogs without actually needing them with us, allowing them to be working elsewhere.”

Terrorism is a daily threat in this century as overseas conflicts not only lengthen, but also multiply. Ensuring safety precautions and technology is utilized on the home front as well as the front lines are vital in survival, and the Fido Portable Explosives Detector is one more way for the service members and civilians aboard MCB Camp Lejeune to safeguard against attack.

Department of Public Safety urges compliance with bicycle safety regulations CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

During the recent months, there has been a rise in bicycle safety infractions aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, putting both children and adults who utilize bicycles more at risk. While bicycles are considered vehicles, the physical confrontation between a bike and an automotive is like pitting a silverback gorilla against a slug.

An amusing concept, but not when the slug is a family member or coworker out on a daily bicycle commute.

Bicycle safety is both in the hands of the riders and of those around them, yet the Department of Public Safety aboard the base has noticed a growing pattern of regulation complacency.

“Both in the children and adult demographics, we’re seeing a rise in bicycle safety infractions,” said Stanley Dutko, director of safety for Marine Corps Installations

East and safety manager for MCB Camp Lejeune. “This is one of those things that should go without saying. Everyone needs to understand what the (personal protective equipment) for riding a bicycle is and adhere to it.”

A helmet is always required when riding a bicycle as well as the wearing of proper reflective equipment in the time between evening and morning colors. While bicyclists are able to ride alongside the road, it must be on the edge to go with the flow of traffic, single file if with a group.

Yet, these simple safety regulations are being either ignored or forgotten in the recent months, with an influx of interactive customer evaluation comments being sent in about bicyclists not following proper statute.

What then is the cause of this influx in bicycle-related safety infractions?

“It’s a combination of more riders coming out in the summer weather and more people commuting around the

base on bicycles to combat gas prices,” said William Linn, tactical safety specialist with DPS. As the 2011-2012 school year draws nearer with the summer days dwindling, DPS will periodically set up checkpoints throughout the housing areas to check for bicycle safety compliance among the younger riders as well as hold safety events through Marine Corps Community Services. However, Dutko says that regulation compliance starts with individual responsibility.

“It’s up to the parents as well as the service members who utilize bicycles to be vigilant of what they need to be doing,” he said. “It needs to be second-nature to put on a helmet and be cautious of where you’re riding. A motorcyclist wouldn’t go riding without a helmet, and the same mentality should be shared among bicyclists.”

For complete, detailed bicycle safety regulations, refer to Base Order P5560.2.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. CLAIMS FROM 1C commands clarifying that Jack3d will not test positive on the urinalysis.

An attorney from Brewer Law Group, representing the makers of Jack3d, contacted the Office of Counsel for the Commandant at the Pentagon to address the rumors, which he also assured were false.

“As a general guide, a product is not a concern from a urinalysis perspective when it is sold by a licensed vendor in the (United States),” said Winston. “Jack3d was sold, among others, through the largest online retailer in the

U.S. It would be illogical for an established business to risk their business license and potential for federal prosecution selling a product that contained a federally-controlled substance, which Jack3d does not.”

Now that the facts have been set straight, service members don’t have to worry about losing their career over a supplement that some purchased on base.

“Even though the rumor was false, it was spread fast and a lot of concerned Marines were able to tell each other to stop using the product,” said So. “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

ilitary kids aren’t just super – they’re superheroes.

Living in an environment that exists to defend against opposing hostilities, military children learn early on that pimples and puberty aren’t the world’s most notorious villains.

Their abilities may range from wisdom beyond their years to emotional strength that rivals their peers’, but growing up is still hard to do.

Marine Corps Family Team Building was ready to come to the rescue with their Kids in the Midst program, “Super Hero You” at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Friday.

“It’s a fun, interactive workshop that allows kids to network with others who are going through the same thing they are,” said Doretta Watkins, readiness and deployment support supervisor, MCFTB. More than 40 kids, most of whom have parents who are deployed,, came to o the secret location on a

WWW.CAMPLEJEUNEGLOBE.COM

mission to not only have fun but to learn to identify and communicate any feelings they may be experiencing because of the separation.

“It’s not even really about the deployment,” Watkins explained. “This helps them build resiliency and learn how to cope with the military lifestyle. We know kids look up to superheroes.

They’re usually associated with some kind of character quality so we can build that same character in them as well.”

The familiar tunes of superhero themes like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, welcomed the children as they entered the secret lair.

Separated into age groups, they were assigned to different stations where unique activities awaited them.

“The stations give the kids a chance to move and stay interactive,” said Watkins. “We come up with the activities ourselves and adapt as needed.”

MCFTB partnered with the Children, Youth and Teen Program and Child Development Center workers to not only guide the kids through each station but to be the listening ear or shoulder t cry on if needed. to “The good thing about partnering with CYTP is they know how to deal with the kids, no matter the situation, even if they need one on one t time,” said Evelyn DeNise, trainer supervisor, MCFTB.

bids farewell|3D

THURSDAY JULY 21, 2011

The two-hour event was specifically for the children – no parents allowed. DeNise, however, doesn’t think they really minded the break.

“The beauty is that it gives the parents a break and time to do something they’ve needed to do all week,” she said.

Kids in the Midst started the summer of 2006 and was met with high praise from parents and kids alike.

“A lot of times parents say the kids are still talking about it a week later because they had so much fun,” Watkins said.

Entertaining large groups of children can prove challenging.

“You have to have creativity and high energy to work here,” DeNise noted. “Many of (our staff) have worked a full day, but it’s a sacrifice they think is worth it.”

Kate Miller, a L.I.N.K.S. trainer, manned the station devoted to helping kids identify ways to communicate.

After playing a funny game of telephone, where one phrase makes its way around to each child in the circle only to usually end up as something very different, Miller asked the children what other ways they could talk to each other.

“We know we can talk on the phone or faceto-face, but how else can we communicate?” she asked.

‘Priest’ disturbs, portrays darker view of vampires Now playing at Midway Park “PRIEST” (PG-13) “Priest” is a postapocalyptic science-fiction thriller based on a graphic novel, and is set in an world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires.

The story revolves around a former super soldier and legendary priest from the last Vampire War. Paul Bettany (“Legion,” “A Beautiful Life”) stars as the vampire hunting man of the cloth, the legendary warrior priest from the last Vampire War, who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walledin dystopian cities ruled by the church.

When his niece, Lucy Pace, played by Lily Collins (“The Blind Side”) is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest comes out of retirement to rescue her from her blood sucking captors.

Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on an obsessive quest to find her before they turn her into one of them.

He is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend, Hicks, a triggerfingered young wasteland sheriff, played by Cam Gigandet (“Burlesque”).

Also on hand to help is a former warrior priestess who possesses otherworldly fighting skills, portrayed

by Maggie Q (“Mission Impossible III”).

Co-starring are Karl Urban (“Red,” “Star Trek”) as Black Hat; Brad Dourif (“Halloween II”) as Sales-

man; Stephen Moyer (“88 Minutes”) as Owen Pace; Christopher Plummer (“The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus”) as Monsignor Orelas; Alan Dale (“After the Sunset”) as Monsignor Chamberlain; and Madchen Amick (“The Hunted”) as Shannon Pace.

Scott Charles Stewart (“Legion”) directed this film which screenwriter Cory Goodman adapted from the graphic novel by the same name written by Min-Woo Hyung.

“Priest” is an action thriller with vampires more feral and disturbing than “Twilight.”

Now playing in Jacksonville “HORRIBLE BOSSES” (R) “Horrible Bosses” is a comedy about three friends who conspire to murder their awful bosses when they realize they are standing in the way of their happiness.

As the story unfolds for the three lifelong friends, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust.

Quitting is not an option. So, one night, over too many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers.

There is one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.

Harry Potter returns for final, epic battle Lejeune bids farewell to wizarding world AMY BINKLEY

Carolina Living editor

T

en years ago, the world was introduced to an ordinary boy with an extraordinary destiny and a story that captured the hearts and imaginations of an entire generation.

Harry Potter’s final chapter comes to a dramatic close in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two.” Potter continues his mission, along with best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, to search for and destroy the remaining Horcruxes. The items hold pieces of the soul of Potter’s greatest foe, Lord Voldemort.

Their exhausting adventure brings them back home to their beloved Hogwarts to fight an epic battle of good versus evil in a cinematic feast for the eyes.

Director David Yates held nothing back for the long-awaited confrontation, and audiences will not be disappointed with the final results.

Marines know a thing or two about battles

and goodbyes.

More than 1,400 Marines and their families lined up for a free premiere of the movie at the Base Theater aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, July 9.

“My family has been at every Harry Potter premiere for free on military bases,” said Justine Smith, a military spouse and committed fan.

Smith and her family have seen not only all of the movies but also read all the books. They began lining up for tickets at 6 a.m. the morning of the event, which wasn’t set to begin until 6:30 p.m.

Another avid fan and military spouse, Laura Hisel, got into line at 8 a.m.

“We wanted to make sure to see it,” she explained. “We always go for our anniversary.”

The anticipation was high as theater manager Charlie Miller prepared to open the doors.

“We’re going to have to turn people away today,” he said.

The military-heavy crowd laughed, cried and cheered as they enjoyed the film a full week before the rest of the world.

“When (our loved ones

are) deployed, I can’t tell you how big a relief it is to have something to do,” said Smith. “We’re thankful.”

However, the celebration was just the beginning.

The wizarding world was re-created for the Harry Potter Party at Midway Park Community Center aboard the MCB Camp Lejeune housing area, Saturday.

“As soon as you say Harry Potter, people will show up,” said Sean Pittman, a Marine Corps Community Services employee.

The films are the “Star Wars” of this generation, and many of the children who came to the party were accompanied by parents who were raised hearing about Hagrid, Professor Snape and the Whomping Willow.

“The whole family can participate, and it doesn’t matter their age,” said Victoria Braggiotti, event coordinator. “There’s something for everyone.”

Several of the younger fans were dressed as the movie’s characters, and rooms throughout the center were devoted to Potterthemed trivia and games and viewings of the earlier films.

After putting together a similar event in the fall for the first part of “The Deathly Hallows,” Braggiotti knew she had a guaranteed audience.

“This time we marketed it a lot more,” she said.

“The trivia is more intense and the prizes are bigger.”

Devotees had to answer several questions, like Hermione’s score on her Muggle Studies Exam or the brewing time for Felix Felicis, correctly to win one of the coveted prizes, like a Hogwarts Express Lego train set, a replica of Harry’s wand, T-shirts, bookmarks and cookbooks.

“I’d really like to win the Hogwarts Express,” said Paris Trepkowski, a military dependent. “My room is totally decorated with Harry Potter. I go crazy when I see the stuff.”

As the rest of the country begins its long goodbye with the boy-wizard, the lucky fans aboard MCB Camp Lejeune look forward, as they’ve learned to do when bidding farewell, to a future of films doused with the influence of the mega-franchise.

And they almost lived happily ever after.

The End.

Sneads Ferry Andy's teaches life lessons, company legacy

I

t’s no secret that Marines craving a burger, shake or fries know where to turn to satisfy their urge. It’s also no secret they can find a killer cheesesteak at the same spot. As a Pennsylvania native, I am a undoubtedly a qualified cheesesteak judge. What local military families don’t know, is that the story behind Andy’s and its legacy that continues to grow make it an even more appealing place to head for some good old fashioned fun.

The founder and president of Andy’s has a story that resonates with many folks in America today. In 1991, Kenny Moore had just lost his job and had an 18-month old son at home that he needed to provide for. As he stood in the unemployment line, he felt as if he could do something better.

With $500 in his pocket, Moore opened his own restaurant, “Andy’s,” named after his son.

That first store the Goldsboro Mall had a slow start. To encourage those who were unsure about the new burger joint to give it a try, the Andy’s staff started to greet the people passing by. The friendliness of the staff paid off as it helped bring new business in the door.

After the initial hurdle, it didn’t take long for the restaurant’s popularity to grow. A second and third store were opened, and Moore continued to search for ways to exceed his customers expectations. In addition, he felt it was important to pass on the opportunity that Andy’s had brought to him.

To do this, Moore created store franchising opportunities as he spread Andy’s to new locations.

This is how Sneads Ferry, NC Andy’s franchise owner Matthew Cole has been able to achieve business success at age 26. For Cole, the most important part of owning the restaurant is to pass on the opportunity and values that the company has held on to over the last two decades.

Cole began working at the Andy’s in Beaulaville, NC just over 10 years ago. He was only 16 years old at the time.

“I was just a punk kid working as a fry cook,” said Cole.

Despite his nervousness and shy disposition, his boss encouraged him to be social with restaurant guests.

Beyond this encouragement, Cole’s boss shared the Andy’s story with him, and brought him along to an operator’s meeting. From then on, Cole’s interest in the company was peaked.

“At the operator’s meeting I saw the passion everyone in the room had for Andy’s and I fell in love with it,” said Cole.

The career growth that Cole has had with Andy’s is the best opportunity he has ever seen. Cole has taken his own opportunity and in the true Andy’s way, helped others do the same. As a mentor to his employees, Cole is constantly pushing young adults in a positive direction. “At Andy’s, I have the opportunity to teach kids who don’t learn life lessons from their parents. They can really grow as people working here,” said Cole.

Currently, the Sneads Ferry owner has 23 employees, some of whom have been loyal employees for over three and four years. Cole does his best to keep these employees a tight knit community.

“This is my family, my kids, brothers, and sisters, and I am extremely committed to whatever it is that they need to grow.

It is all about what they do, if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t

have a job at Andy’s. I give them tough love, so as long as they work hard for me, I’ll work hard for them,” said Cole.

One man in particular stood out for Cole. At 17 years old, Andrew King stood out to Cole. He reflected some of the same characteristics Cole saw in himself at that age.

“He had that drive and passion, and really enjoyed the competitive side of the restaurant,” said Cole.

After plenty of hardwork, Andrew now runs the Andy’s in Hampstead, NC. For Cole, Andrew’s success is a prime example of the opportunity the company affords its employees.

“If you work hard, you can own your own store,” said Cole.

Though he takes pride in his own store and employees, Cole has never lost sight of the big picture.

“This is not just about my store, I love Andy’s. There is a great quality all around.

When Andy’s is done the right way, our connection with customers is unbeatable,” said Cole.

Especially during a time when money is tight, Cole appreciates that folks choose the spend their money with them.

“We want to make their experience worth their while. When you work hard you want to get the most bang for your buck, so that’s what we want to provide,” said Cole.

The Andy’s family continues to keep the spirit of giving back alive in an even more important way, through the Andy’s Foundation. It began in 2000 with the Andy’s Golf Classic, which raised support for specific charities in communities all over North Carolina. This turned into a grant program in 2006, and Andy’s has been giving out quarterly grants ever since. The foundation typically provides support for the Miracle League and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Through these programs Andy’s is able to assist children and their families who are struggling with medical care costs. In addition to the commitment to these causes, the Andy’s Foundation is always looking for new ways to provide even more community support. Every store has a foundation bucket so all community members can participate in this grant program.

TheAndy’s foundation truly reflects the way the company has continued to provide great opportunities for its employees, customers, and community. As the business prepares to expand outside the borders of North Carolina, its founding principles are sure to be a hit.

So remember, when you are craving burgers, shakes, or fries, why not stop in to a local Andy’s like Cole’s Snead’s Ferry location to get your fix and get involved.

Sneads Ferry & Topsail Beach

J

ust outside the back gate of Camp Lejeune, Sneads Ferry and Topsail Island have been a draw for vacationers and military families alike. With the inlet a prime spot for boating, countless spots to dine on some fresh seafood, and plenty of sand and surf to go around, Sneads Ferry and Topsail Island have plenty to boast about. For military members and families, the trip is short, making this day’s drive trip to the coastline well worth it.

Floral Expressions by the Sea Long known for its natural beauty and unspoiled shorelines, it is no surprise that Topsail Island, consisting of North Topsail Beach, Surf City, and Topsail Beach has been a popular site for local and destination weddings. For couples who are looking to tie the knot but are unfamiliar with the area, Geneva Antinori and her business, Floral Expressions by the Sea, are a godsend. Antinori’s shop is located in neighboring Sneads Ferry, and goes beyond the typical role as a flower shop.

Outside of creating beautiful bouquets Floral Expressions rents equipment and dinnerware out for special occasions.

The business offers tables and chairs, linens, china, glassware and serving pieces.

They also rent vases, garlands, live plants and silk trees and more. One of the most popular wedding pieces that Floral Expressions has offered for the last three years is the bamboo arch. In a variety of styles and colors, a bamboo arch is a must-have.

Rental options and packages offered by Floral Expressions are ideal for out-of-towners, newcomers, and those who want to keep things quick or simple.

At affordable prices and a convenient location, Floral Expressions offers everything you need for your next party or social event.

In fact, if you are looking for a service that Antinori can’t provide, the Onslow County native is poised to point you in the right direction.

“We work with brides to do as much as we can for all budget ranges. If we don’t have what they want, we will find it for them. From living here all my life, I know the people and venues to contact to help steer the bride and groom in the right direction,” says Antinori.

Despite all the wedding talk, it’s important not to forget Floral Expressions the countless other times you need a special flower arrangement or gourmet fruit and cheese basket. These other occasions bring Antinori some of the most memorable experiences she has had running her business the last 15 years.

“I see people falling in love and the spe-

cial efforts that men make on Valentine’s Day. These guys can bring me to tears with their cards,” says Antinori.

Men who are deploying can head to Floral Expressions to set up delivery orders for the time they are overseas. So no matter what the occasion, let Floral Expressions help you reach out to the ones you love.

Ohana Paddle Sports Thrill-seekers don’t have to look any further than Topsail Island for an opportunity to get their blood rushing. From the inlet to the waves, Topsail is prime for jet skiing, surfing, wind surfing, and now, even paddle boarding. As of Memorial Day weekend this year, Topsail Island is home to the only stand up paddle board shop in North Carolina. Established by professional paddleboarder Chris Hill and his wife Jennifer, Ohana Paddle Sports opened its doors to provide interested boarders with some of the same equipment that Hill uses. The shop carries stand up paddleboards and accessories, outrigger canoes, and apparel.

Southeastern North Carolina has hosted a few events this year, beginning with the Coldstroke Classic in January. Chris, who has surfed for the last 25 years and been stand-up paddling for the last six, snagged first place at the event. The most recent local race was the Onslow Bay Challenge held last month.

In addition to gearing its customers up for success, the Ohana Paddle Sports offers guided tours, private or group lessons, and race clinics.

The range of services Ohana Paddle Sports offers mirrors one of the most exciting aspects of the sport—the wide variety of ways to use your board.

Stand up paddleboards can be used on flatwater and in the ocean, for surfing, racing, downwinding, and leisure trips.

“The great thing about paddleboarding is that there are so many different aspects, and the conditions are always right.

Downwinding can create swells you can ride and cover ten miles in an hour and a half,” says Jennifer.

Not only are there a variety of styles, but stand up paddleboarding can be as much or as little as a workout as you want it to be.

“My husband and I will paddle out side by side at sunset with the dolphins. It’s just as if we were taking a walk. At the same time, there is a work-out aspect. Stand up paddleboarding can be head-to-toe the best workout you can get,” says Jennifer.

For those who have never given it a try, Jennifer offers some solid advice.

“Don’t be afraid to give it a try. If you can get on the right equipment with the right people, stand-up paddleboarding is easier

North Topsail Beach Rentals & Palm Tree Market and Tiki Bar With another heat wave heading towards the coast, Marines and their families need a place to escape the heat and the crowds.

North Topsail Beach offers public beach access close to Camp Lejeune. Just over the bridge from Sneads Ferry, visitors can hang a left on New River Inlet Road. Five miles down, at the northern tip of the island, North Topsail Beach Rentals and the Palm Tree Market and Tiki Bar provides customers with everything they need for a full day—or week—of beach fun.

North Topsail Beach Rentals rents chairs and umbrellas out for beachgoers who want to comfortably soak up the sun.

For those who want to spend time giving themselves a bit of a challenge, one and two person kayaks, surfboards, stand-up paddleboards, bodyboards, skimboards, and wakeboards are all available. Kayak renters also have the opportunity to take advantage of a waterway tour, guided by staff members that have logged a lot of time and miles on the water. With bikes

and fishing and sporting equipment, there is no end to how you can spend your hours on the island. All rentals are available to rent on a 24-hour or weekly basis.

If you’ve rented a beachhouse for the week or are even looking for some food and drinks to stock up on for lunch in the sand, the Palm Tree Market is your onestop shot. Cooking essentials, snacks, and a wide selection of beverages are all available just a stone’s throw from the waterfront.

To wind down after a long day the Tiki Bar provides a laid-back atmosphere where folks can gather and relax on island time.

This weekend, the Palm Tree Market and Tiki Bar will host “Save Second Base Breast Cancer Benefit Night” with a cornhole tournament and 50/50 raffle. Proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. Teams can sign up at the Market or Tiki Bar before 7 p.m. on Saturdau July 23. The tournament will begin at 8 p.m.

As they huddled together underneath the midnight sky, they watched in unison as hellacious flames bellowed out through the windows and overtook the roof, each of them thinking about what personal effects were smoldering before their eyes.

As the roar of the fire was drowned out by the scream of sirens and water hoses, a police officer walked over to the family and handed out warm, soft blankets, providing a sliver of comfort in the nightmarish dark.

A passion for helping others is the very thing that fuels Ellie Edwards and the near 40 others like her to do what she does for the service members and civilians of the community: sew quilts or knit and crochet blankets to give out among the community for free as part of the Blankets with Love club out of Brunswick County, N.C. “We give them out to the local Marine bases, to churches, schools, fire and police departments,” said Edwards, speaking with a light in her eyes that spoke only of unrequited, selfless love for others.

“Wherever we feel we can help people, that’s where we go.”

“On the military side, the blankets go to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point’s Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society,” said

Linda Johnson, leader of the Blankets with Love program. “From there, they are given out through various programs, such as the layettes in the Budget for Baby class.”

Four years ago, the group started donating blankets to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, but was restricted in doing so two years into their contributions. Their gifts have since been routed to MCAS Cherry Point.

“Blankets with Love started as a branch of the Project Linus foundation, breaking off as our own thing for this area,” said Edwards. “We buy all our own materials and meet once a month to collect what each of us has made, dropping off bundles of blankets and to (MCAS) Cherry Point every three months.”

While the aspect of selfless donations on a monthly basis is something not to take for granted, just exactly why do these women dedicate their time and money to crafting blankets for complete strangers?

“A lot of us are retired and some are shut-ins they don’t have the chance to leave the house,” said Edwards. “This keeps them active, but more importantly we’re helping others in need, providing them with the comfort of a warm blanket. There’s no other motive than helping others.”

A baby blanket to swaddle a newborn costs anywhere from $10 to $20, but one donated to a family free of cost and with the sole purpose of helping them – that is a priceless blanket.

Parties for children revolve around entertainment, friends, toys, snacks, sweets and anything else that can give them a sugar high or entertain them. For parents, parties mean dipping pretty deep into their wallets to rent out a bounce house, have a clown and fill a piñata with as much candy as possible, which often leaves their wallets feeling a bit thin.

Luckily for the parents, Marine Corps Community Services is offering Party Packages at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Base Theater and the Midway Park Theater.

The Party Packages include a movie, help from the employees who set up tables and, for a small price, even a hot dog of their choice.

“The private screening they get with the package is any movie of their choice, be it an old one we have in our database or a new one that has just recently come out,” said Brandy ThompsonSmith, an office automation clerk who works in the Base Theater. “Also, depending on which party package you choose, we can include more than just the basic deal.”

The basic party package has a $50 facility fee and an additional $3 per person. This includes a private viewing of whatever the customer has chosen as well as a small soft drink and popcorn for every attendee.

The second party package, at $4 per person, offers everything the basic one offers but includes a hot dog or an order of nachos with the drink and popcorn. However, this option is only offered at the Base Theater.

For parties that include cakes and presents, the movie staff can arrange for tables to be set up.

Midway Park offers Party Packages on every day of the week except Monday and the Base Theater offers the packages every day of the week except Tuesday.

Anyone with a Department of Defense identification card is eligible to take advantage of this program.

HEROES FROM 1D One child enthusiastically raised his hand, and, after being called on, proudly proclaimed, “Pigeons. They can carry messages back and forth.”

Kids really do say the funniest things.

While many of the children were excited to make personalized capes and shields decorated with admirable character qualities, others clung to their Daddy Dolls whose worn appearances made it seem like they hadn’t left their owners arms since the buses pulled away.

Kids were overheard saying things like, “My dad misses Christmas,” “I don’t want to move when he gets back,” and “My dad is a hero.”

The battles they face may not be as intense as their parents, but there is no doubt that kids serve too. If they only learned one thing through the program, the military children learned that they are not alone in their mission and someone is always there to listen to them.

After all, “Superheroes stick together,” Miller said.

Kids in the Midst is a free program available for all military children, whether their parents are deployed or not.

Jen Owston, a military spouse, poses next to her award winning garden aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Owston recently formed a gardening club to share gardening experiences as well as build bonds with neighbors and other military families.

Navy spouse plants idea for gardening club LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERA

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

After having received numerous compliments as well as winning Yard of the Month due to her fantastic garden, a military spouse teamed up with Atlantic Marine Corps Communities to offer a gardening club to military families interested in making their house more homey.

The gardening club, which had its first meeting July 11, is still in its test phase and if the next few months work out, it could become a gathering of green and brown thumbs working to make their homes a better place.

“Being in the military usually means moving from duty station to duty

station,” said Jen Owston, a military spouse who came up with the gardening club idea. “That doesn’t mean we can’t make our homes our own even if we won’t always live there.”

During their first meeting, participants talked about what they wanted for the future of the club and also threw around ideas for upcoming meetings.

This month, the club talked about soil and how it greatly impacts the growth of a plant.

While Owston is an avid gardener, she admits that she is no professional and looks to the group for insight while sharing as much as she knows.

“I don’t have a green thumb,” said Owston while taking a shot at herself.

“I plant dozens of flowers and just hope

that some survive.”

The group discussed how to prepare the soil for gardening, what kinds of plants work best in certain soils, how to take care of the soil and many other topics.

Also discussed was how to choose a plant, when to plant spring and fall bulbs and also what to look for when buying a plant from a gardening center.

The group also shared information on various websites and catalogs that had a good reputation as well as low prices.

“There are many different kinds of plants, from drought resistant to fall blooming ones,” said Owston. “Here we can share that information and also point out ‘diva plants,’ which require a

lot of time and attention.”

For families that wanted bird baths in their garden, the group learned about how they can prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs in the standing water.

They also learned about regulations and what was and was not allowed.

“With support from the people who attend the garden club and some elbow grease, everyone can have their own little patch of heaven,” said Owston.

The garden club’s next meeting will be July 23 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bicentennial Community Center, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Chaplain’s Corner

Religion unused is worthless NAVY LT. DAVID SCHLEUSENER Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

A rabbi and soap maker went for a walk together. The soap maker had some negative things to say about religion: “What good is religion? Just look around you. What do you see? Trouble, misery, wars - even after all these years and years of preaching and teaching about goodness, truth and peace. What good is religion with all its prayers and sermons if all this evil still exists?”

The rabbi kept quiet as they continued their walk. Then they noticed a child playing in the gutter. The child was filthy with dirt and mud. The rabbi said to the soap maker, “Look at this child.

Now you say that soap makes people clean, but what good is it? With all the soap in the world this child is still dirty. What good is soap after all?”

The soap maker immediately answered him, “But rabbi, soap can’t do its job if it isn’t used.”

The rabbi said, “The same is true with religion.” (Traditional story, original author unknown) Cleaning up this world happens to be one of the more positive features that religion has. Track the major positive advances in civilization and you will find them shaped and promoted by religion and believers with high ideals.

Our nation’s doctrine of just war – as well as Western nations around the globe – has its philosophical foundations in the writings of a Christian bishop from Africa, Augustine of Hippo, with added refinement from theologian Thomas Aquinas.

Where would the abolition of slavery be without someone like William Wilberforce? What amazing grace motivated him to keep going when abolition seemed like a lost cause?

Where would American civil rights be without a preacher from the South, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? What convictions stirred deeply in his veins and spilled in “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” and how about his “I have a dream” speech, which still inspires today?

What good is religion? The next time you notice your neighbor getting the kids up early and piling into the car to go to chapel, consider asking why they attend and where?

Your neighbor may struggle with all the demands of life and duty just as much as you do.

His life may not look that much different from yours. Maybe you don’t see a young Wilberforce or King growing up on your street.

Then again, “Soap can’t do its job if it isn’t used.” Total fitness includes spiritual fitness.

Check out the church in your neighborhood. Find out when the chapel services are held. Look around and consider the spiritual guides and resources available to you.

Within life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, you will find that religion is of great use. In all fairness and full disclosure, that is just the beginning of many more rewards than space allows to be explored here. Check it out for yourself, and strike up a conversation with a friend who sees the value.

During social dancing, experienced dancers showed off their skills while beginners, including a group of Marine volunteers, learned the basic steps to different styles of dance.

Chris Parr, founder and producer with T.V. and Stage Productions, used the class as an opportunity to film for a potential local television show he hopes to produce as a spinoff of the popular television show,
