With temperatures Gen. John Allen, the commanding general of International Security Assistance Force, talks with Marjah District officials during his first visit to the district, Aug. reaching 130 degrees and in the midst of Ramadan, Al4. Allen succeeded Gen. David Petraeus as the ISAF commander.

len patrolled from Forward Operating Base Marjah to the surrounding areas of the district center with the Marines of Regimental Combat Team 1. Along the way, he met with elders and district officials, to include the governor and the chief of police.

Allen highlighted the successes in Marjah and discussed future plans of Afghanistan with Governor Abdul Mutalab as the governor gave his input and praised the work of the Marines.

Allen concluded his trip by noting the progress made the past year in the district and re-emphasized the fact that all coalition forces are assisting with the efforts in Afghanistan.

The mission of ISAF is to partner with Afghan National Security Forces and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to conduct counterinsurgency operations to secure the Afghan people, defeat insurgent forces and enable ANSF assumption of security responsibilities in the nation.

Sink East Range near Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan.

“Some units here at Camp Leatherneck had a bunch of damaged ammunition that exceeded its shelf life and they needed to get rid of it,” explained Staff Sgt. Daniel Pare, an explosive ordnance disposal team leader with 2nd MLG (Fwd.). “So they called us and asked if we could do some controlled detonations to destroy it.”

Some of the material

destroyed included 9 mm rounds, .50-caliber rounds, high explosive dual purpose grenades, 81 mm Illumination and regular mortar rounds, anti-personnel obstacle breaching system rounds, and even a few high-mobility artillery rocket system rounds.

“They are being destroyed because technically we can’t issue them anymore,” Pare said. “After the ammunition reaches its expiration date,

it becomes unreliable, presenting issues with the fuse’s proper function and safeties involved.

“I am sure as we get closer and closer to the date we leave Afghanistan, there are going to be more and more of these going on,” Pare concluded. “But right now we are just getting rid of all the unserviceable ammo so we can bring new supplies in without going above the (maximum amount allowed).”

The road between Combat Outpost Shir Ghazay and Forward Operating Base Now Zad, known as Route Landy Nawa, is nothing more than tire tracks through powdery dirt.

For miles in any direction, there is nothing to be seen but the occasional dust devil and local citizens driving through.

This desolate road has been the cause of much turmoil for the Marines of Weapons Company, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (Forward), as they try to traverse it. The road has claimed multiple vehicles to improvised explosive device explosions as they try to move between patrol bases. To combat this obstacle, the Marines with the Combined Anti-Armor Team, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, and tanks from 2nd Tank Battalion, have posted a ‘picket line,’ — vehicles lining the road to prevent tampering, screen traffic and guard it from the insurgency.

“Right now in Shir Ghazay we have a picket line that exists to open up routes from here to Now Zad,” said Capt.

Back to school letter from base commanding officer For Parents of All Camp Lejeune Dependents Schools Students,

Welcome to the Camp Lejeune Dependents Schools community for the 2011-2012 academic year. We are all very excited about this school year as we have added support staff, new principals, and will be opening a new school.

This year’s theme is Designing Excellence, Creating Success. Parents are a critical component to building that success, and we need your help.

I have three specific areas for consideration: civility, bullying, and regular school attendance. Leadership in these issues begins at home and I ask for your support.

First, courtesy and civility are essential components in the military culture. We pride ourselves on maintaining our composure and discipline even under the most stressful situations.

Unfortunately, during the last school year we had a number of situations whereby a parent or guardian lost composure and resorted to the use of profanity and even physical aggression toward a teacher or school administrator. This type of conduct cannot and will not be tolerated.

As parents, we want what is best for our children and we are justifiably passionate about the pursuit of excellence. However, allowing our passion to override our self-control is not acceptable.

It is always appropriate to schedule a parent-teacher or parent-administrator conference to discuss

your child’s requirements and progress. The vast majority of school issues can be resolved in these conferences. If they are not, the issue should be elevated to the Assistant Superintendent, North Carolina Schools. Shouting, berating, or threatening a teacher or administrator is never acceptable.

Second, bullying both in school and while traveling to and from school was a problem last year. This year the CLDS will implement an anti-bullying curriculum produced by Trevor Romain, a children’s PBS personality and sought-after sponsored motivational speaker. This research-based elementary curriculum will complement other anti-bullying programs in the middle and high school.

Further, we will continue Military Police bicycle patrols during the start and end of the school day.

The fact is, however, children are most influenced by the input they receive from their parents. This is a team effort.

Your example in words and action at home and in the community are likely to make the biggest impact with your child’s behavior at school.

All students must respect each other and each other’s differences.

Bullying will not be tolerated.

In extreme cases, a student may be removed from school and the base through the Juvenile Discipline and Rehabilitation Board. The privilege of living on base gives us a wonderful sense of community and safety.

Bullying degrades our community bond. These points must be rein-

forced at home.

Third, regular school attendance is essential for academic progress. The Department of Defense schools are unveiling a new attendance policy this year that better aligns with the attendance policies of civilian school systems. The new policy restricts absences to seven per semester to obtain course credit. Administrators will be notified when students reach 5 cumulative absences.

The new policy provides for student support teams (SSTs) to develop strategies to support students who may have missed too much school.

The policy also involves eventually notifying the command when dependents are habitually absent. I ask that parents carefully review the new attendance policy with their child(ren) and ensure that students arrive at school promptly each school day and attend school regularly.

CLDS is poised for an outstanding year with new administrators, a new school, and a renewed focus on student achievement. We have a wonderful community and school system aboard Camp Lejeune.

I am proud to see so many of our parents positively engaged in the education process. We all want success for all of our students and we have a system in place to achieve that goal.

Please talk with your child and let him or her know that you support a safe school and value education.

Thank you for the assistance in making this a great academic year not only for your child but for our entire community.

Headquarters Company, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division Lebanon, Mo.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Bridgette Hankins, hospital corpsman, (right) and Lance Cpl. Kayla McFadden (left) hand out school supplies during a literacy class for young women, Aug. 5. The supplies are provided by the Marines with the civil affairs group to children in the area in efforts to enhance the children’s education.

Afghanistan harbors a harsh environment where street smarts are more common than a formal education, especially for women. Many skills that are learned from experience can be the difference between life and death, but with limited formal education, the society can only advance so far.

The Marines with Female Engagement Teams 10 and 12 held their first literacy class for Afghan women in the Musa Qal’eh District, Aug. 2. The class, held in the district’s women’s center, is intended to teach local women basic principles of reading, writing and arithmetic.

“We had about 26 girls show up for reading and writing classes,” said Pfc. Brandie Hogan, a FET member. “They’re learning their letters, how to count right and how to identify their numbers.”

The goal of teaching women in Musa Qal’eh to be literate is to help them understand the world around them. They can read posted public advisories, learn how to care for an ailment from text or simply leave a note for themselves.

The classes being taught are the equivalent to what would be taught in an American preschool class. They are currently learning their native alphabet and numbers, working up to basic spelling and mathematics.

“This is baby steps,” said Hogan. “This is the first step in getting women here educated. At this point we would be happy to have them be able to read simple sentences like ‘Hello, how are you?’ in Pashto. We want them to be able to read their own names.”

The school is a small attachment, sharing a wall with Forward Operating Base Musa Qal’eh District Center. The structure is nothing more than three small walls jutting from the FOB and doubles as the women’s center when the school hours are out.

A grand opening was held July 31 for the newly completed structure.

The classes are taught by the interpreter for FET 12, who has been nicknamed “Oprah” by the Marines she works with.

Women are introduced to the classes at health initiatives held in the woman’s center every Wednesday.

Women attending school is a new and somewhat radical idea for the people of Musa Qal’eh. Traditionally, many women live secluded lives where they are sheltered from outside influences. The women’s responsibilities lie in taking care of their husband and family within the household. According to Hogan, they are not permitted to

go to the bazaar (marketplace) or, in most cases, anywhere outside their houses without their husbands accompanying them.

“These women have faced many adversities,” said Sgt. Habiba Abida, the team leader of FET 12. “Their lives are based off fear. The men put this sense of fear in them. This is not every Afghan man, there are men who support and encourage their wives, but many don’t.”

According to the United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative website, the literacy rate for young women, aged 15 to 24, is 18 percent, while 50 percent of boys are literate. The primary school completion rate for boys is 32 percent, versus a 13 percent completion rate for girls.

Approximately 20 to 30 students between the ages of 6 and 14 have been arriving to the three classes for two-hour lessons each week. The class was originally intended for adolescent children, but the increasing presence of adult women peaked the need for an additional class.

The center alternates days for the schooling, offering courses to the children one day and adults the following day. The segregation of the classes caters to the needs of the older generation who are so far detached from having to obtain or retain any new knowledge, said Abida. “(The children’s) mothers show up and some of them sit there with notebooks and try to learn how to read and write, but they tell us this is difficult for them because they have never done it before,” Hogan said.

“The older women don’t have as much confidence in learning how to read and write as the young women do.”

In the district of Now Zad, just west of Musa Qal’eh, there has been a women’s school for approximately a year. The women of the area are less oppressed and many more enjoy the freedom to gain an education, according to Hogan. The literacy difference between the two districts has provided solid verification to the impact it has on the women’s lives.

The freedom that develops with an education drastically changes a person’s life, especially in Afghanistan. The women have a better understanding of the area that surrounds them and are less intimidated by the pressures of their societal structure, said Hogan.

“The women in Now Zad will allow you to simply take their picture,” said Hogan, who has served several months in the Now Zad District. “But the women here freak SEE FET 9A

Dependency, indemnity compensation benefits Dependency and indemnity compensation are payments and benefits for beneficiaries of a veteran who suffers from a service-related death. An example would be a veteran who had chronic high blood pressure while on active duty and died of a heart atack. If the active-duty health record confirmed high blood pressure, Veteran Affairs could determine this to be a service-related death. A DIC surviving spouse recipient receives $1,154 per month tax free, with an additional $246 if the member was 100 percent disabled for eight years or more. Children 18 to 26 years old, may be eligible for an additional $286 each month. In addition, a $2,000 funeral reimbursement is also available.

DIC also provides educational benefits. Surviving spouses and children who desire to attend college will receive $925 each month for up to 45 months. A surviving DIC spouse can claim 10-point preference on a civil service application for employment rights. In North Carolina, a 100 percent total and permanently disabled veteran can deduct $45,000 from their home’s tax assessed value.

A surviving DIC widow can also claim the $45,000 disabled veteran property tax exclusion.

There are additional benefits available depending on what state you live in. You may view veteran benefits for each state at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Retired Activities Office website, marines.mil/unit/mcieast/ rao. The necessary documents need for filing a DIC claim is the DD214 discharge certificate, a death certificate with either the cause of death or one of the contributing factors being service-related, a completed VA Form 21- 534 DIC application and any supporting documentation. It should be noted that the VA recognizes a list of illnesses which are presumed to be the direct result of Agent Orange from service in Vietnam and some illnesses as a result of being in Iraq and Afghanistan. For more information on the DIC or a list of the presumed illnesses, please contact the Veteran Affairs or a Veteran Service Organization.

Often, retirees are asked to produce their DD214 for employment or veteran benefits. Every retiree should have their DD214 available and if they don’t, they should order a copy now. If you live near MCB Camp Lejeune, visit building 60, room 142 and the RAO will order it for you. If you live outside the area, go to your closest county VA office and they will order it for you. You may go online to order it, but your signature is still required by the records center.

hile worki n g in the coal mines of Hyden, Ky., Gil C. Frazier decided he would join the Marine Corps. Four years and two deployments later, Sgt. Frazier is recognized as an American hero. “We always had his back and he had ours,� said Lance Cpl. Joshua T. Paul, a fellow rifleman during their deployment with 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. “He was brave. He never said no to a mission.�

During their deployment to Marjah, Afghanistan, Frazier led Marines into a

1DWLRQDO 8QLYHUVLW\

village with a known insurgent presence, looking for weapons cache. Immediately, they received enemy fire. “It felt good that he was on our side, thankfully,� said Paul, jokingly. “He always knew what to do.�

After forcing the enemy to flee, Frazier’s unit proceeded to check the area for improvised explosive devices and weapons cache when their squad was engaged again, this time by a reinforced enemy. Frazier led his squad which gained fire superiority and killed two insurgents. As squad leader, Frazier distributed supplies and maneuvered his forces on the persistent enemy.

Despite this, the fight continued for many hours, and one Marine was shot in the head. When the Marine could not breath, Frazier

performed an emergency tracheotomy while simultaneously directing his squad and air assets. With a casualty and almost out of ammo, Frazier pushed his squad to move the enemy out of the area and linked with reinforcements. “Even when Scott (the wounded Marine) was hit, he didn’t freeze,� said Paul. “We were all close, but he maintained composure and directed everyone.�

Frazier was awarded both the Bronze Star and Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with combat distinguishing device for his actions that day. He was also awarded the Vanguard Award from the Non-Commissioned Officer Association, for his work during that day and the deplyoment itself.

Though Frazier has seen

much danger, Frazier said he loves the Marine Corps, thoroughly enjoys teaching Marines and would like to do a full 20 years of service. “The only way I won’t stay in the Marine Corps is if they medically retire me, and if they did that, they would break my heart,� said Frazier. In the future, the veteran leader said he hopes to get back to the fight in Afghanistan, but if not possible, he would like to teach Marines at the School of Infantry. “It’s not the medals or the rank,� said Frazier. “It’s taking that 19-year-old kid, that junior Marine, and training him. And when you see them on the battlefield performing perfectly, that’s what’s rewarding.

You build them up to where they have confidence, and they will be hard to beat.�

Landing support Marines run to an MV-22 Osprey at Forward Operating Base Edinburgh, Afghanistan, recently. The landing support Marines at FOB Edinburgh act as a liaison for passengers departing and arriving at the FOB, as well as off load and load cargo onto the aircraft.

CAMP LEATHERNECK, AFGHANISTAN

Landing support liaison critical to in-country travel, resupply SGT. RACHAEL MOORE 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

Due to the long distances between forward operating bases and combat outposts, and the rugged terrain of Afghanistan, transporting personnel and some supplies via helicopters is faster and has become more common.

Landing support Marines are scattered through-

out Afghanistan to coordinate flights to and from FOBs. Lance Cpl. Ivey J. Flores Jr., a landing support specialist with Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), fills that coordination role for Forward Operating Base Edinburgh, Afghanistan.

“I’m responsible for movement of all personnel and cargo in and out

of FOB (Edinburgh),” explained Flores. “We have flights coming in all hours of the day, and there’s always one of us out there directing them.”

When the aircraft lands, some passengers are in awe of the size of the aircraft, while others duck away from the large amount of dust that fills the air. The landing support Marines don’t have that luxury.

When they see the aircraft

coming in, they grab their helmets and begin the offload process.

“We’re trained to be out on the flightline,” said Flores. “We know what to do, and when to do it.”

When a flight is inbound, the landing support Marines ensure all passengers are manifested and ready to go. If the incoming aircraft has cargo, the Marines ensure the forklift is readily available

to get the gear off.

“We deal with all types of gear,” said Flores.

“Whether it’s mail for the troops, water, food, or even sometimes repair parts for vehicles, we’re responsible for getting the gear off.

“The (helicopters) have a strict timeline,” continued Flores. “We try to get the gear off as quick as possible, and then we move the troops to and from the helicopter.”

Keeping the tight schedule ensures the quick and timely movement of troops and gear, which has made movement by helicopter more common.

“My job plays a big role in the mission here in Afghanistan,” concluded Flores. “Without landing support Marines, there’d be no coordination, and no aircraft could deliver mission essential gear or drop off the troops.”

American, Romanian Marines conduct bilateral amphibious raid CPL. DWIGHT A. HENDERSON 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit

Waves washed over the front of the amphibious assault vehicle as it powered through the Black Sea. As it neared shore, the driver engaged the vehicle’s tracks, which began to grip into the sea floor, pulling the AAV onto Capu Midia, Romania, approximately four kilometers from their starting point, USS Whidbey Island.

The movement was conducted by Marines with Company E, Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, as part of a bilateral amphibious raid with Romanian Marines aboard Capu Midia, Romania, Aug. 3.

As the culmination of a five-day training exercise, “Summer Storm Amphibious Bilateral Exercise 11,” the raid was meant to increase the interoperability between U.S. and Romanian forces.

“The amphibious raid was the best part of this training,” said Romanian

The AAVs plowed the sand as they moved from the beach toward their objectives. While some AAVs moved into blocking positions along the roads, others traversed a field straight for the abandoned building packed with Romanian and Marine role players.

The AAVs came to a stop and quickly dropped their ramps to release the American and Romanian Marines who raced to the target building. Entrenched role-players began firing M-240G machine guns, AK-47s, M-16s and M-4s.

“Every time we train, we practice like it’s the real thing, we don’t cut any corners,” said 1st Sgt. Charles McDew, the company first sergeant for Company E. The assaulting Marines returned fire and began rushing through the tall grass. Shooting, moving and communicating, they were able to create security around the building, and then entered it.

Romanian Marines with 307th Marine Infantry Battalion clear a building during an amphibious raid aboard Capu Midia, Romania, Aug. 3. the Romanians stacked on either side of the door.

They then poured in to clear out a well-emplaced enemy machine gun.

“The Romanians did a good job of clearing the objective and taking out the bad guys,” said Cpl. Brent J. Moll, a squad leader with Company E. After the Marines and Romanians cleared the building, they practiced their tactical site exploitation by thoroughly searching each role-player before

returning to the AAVs. Marines rarely get the chance to conduct a full amphibious raid from start to finish.

“Most of the time we do training, we do it section by section,” said Moll.

“Having it all go from the beginning lets us see all the pieces together and executing it like we did shows great discipline.”

The Marines and sailors of the 22nd MEU are currently deployed with Amphibious Squadron 6

aboard the USS Bataan Amphibious Ready Group serving as a potent, formidable and deterrent force who continues to train and improve their capability to operate as a cohesive and effective Marine AirGround Task Force.

The 22nd MEU is a multi-mission, capable force, commanded by Col. Eric J. Steidl and comprised of an aviation combat element, Marine Medium Tilt Rotor Squadron 263 (Reinforced); a logis-

tics combat element, Combat Logistics Battalion 22; a ground combat element, Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment; and its command element.

Marine Expeditionary Units are the Marine Corps’ smallest permanent Marine Air-Ground Task Force, and each is comprised of approximately 2,200 Marines and sailors ready to provide immediate response to hostile environment or crisis.

Marines master the ropes to step up, jump off aircraft SGT. RICHARD BLUMENSTEIN 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit

No landing zone? No problem for a group of Marines and sailors who just earned the title Helicopter Rope Suspension Techniques Masters.

During a recent 10-day course, 18 Marines and sailors spent countless hours learning the skills needed to slide down ropes out of helicopters and off rappel towers both day and night at Landing Zone Vulture, which is located on the Stone Bay training area of the base, from July 25 through Aug. 5.

Marines conduct HRST operations from helicopters as a way to insert and extract in environments where actually landing a helicopter is not an option, such as mountainous terrain, urban and jungle environments, said Capt. Robert Long, the officer in charge of the Expeditionary Operations Branch, Special Operations Training Group, II Marine Expeditionary Headquarters Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force.

Helicopter Rope Suspension Techniques Masters are essential to units because any operation requires a minimum of two masters to perform HRST. Additionally, they have the responsibility to teach members of their units, and ensure Marines performing HRST operations are capable.

The two-week course, run by SOTG, requires that service members attain a complete mastery of all things related to: rappelling, fast roping and special purpose insertion and extraction rigging.

During the first week, the

Joshua Isberner, the HRST lead instructor, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never done this before,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. Christopher Ahaus, a rifleman with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jumping off the towers and learning how to do all the systems and knots, definitely increases your confidence.â&#x20AC;?

At the conclusion of the first week, the Marines had to demonstrate mastery of 12 knots and pass a written exam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They learn all the (standard operating procedures), little movements, hand and

arm signals and ways to tension the ropes before we test them,â&#x20AC;? Long said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have to demonstrate they have (mastered all of) that before we let them do it live.â&#x20AC;?

During the second week, the students conducted rappelling, fast roping and SPIE rigging operations as they would in a real-world situation, while being evaluated by the course instructors.

Each student performed the role of HRST master, ensuring all knots and rigs were secure before signaling for the Marines to leap out of the helicopters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The instructors) really make sure you know your stuff before you step off,â&#x20AC;?

ailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 22, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, taught combat-lifesaving skills to Spanish Marines as part of a bilateral training exercise, at the Sierra Del Retin Training Center, Spain, recently.

The training focused on the most common death-causing injuries in combat and how to treat them quickly and correctly.

“We learned how to treat common death-causing injuries in combat and developed a program where Marines can treat those injuries quickly,” said Chief Petty Officer Jahmi Arnold, independent duty corpsman with CLB-22.

“The Spanish Marines are interested in

learning the techniques we use.”

During the course, Spanish Marines learned how to effectively treat the wounded in different scenarios.

“The U.S. Navy has different ways to treat wounds. When we went to Haiti in 2010, that was the first time I saw the difference between our military and the Americans,” said Pvt. Juan Carlos Montes Cabello, a corpsman with the Spanish Marines.

“They have more resources and are able to get the job done. Even the basic classes have more details than what we’ve learned. The training we’re getting here is great. The fact that we’re getting their experiences is definitely helpful.”

Marines and sailors with the 22nd MEU recently conducted bilateral training with Spanish Marines as part of the Spanish Amphibious Bilat-

TRAVEL FROM 1A road that can be used by local citizens as well as coalition forces. What that does is it secures the road. It eliminates people coming in and laying IEDs, which is a threat to Marines as well as local (citizens).”

The road is as helpful to the Marines as it is to the local citizens, who use it for travel and the delivery of goods to other districts. Residents of Musa Qal’eh have noticed a dramatic difference in the cost of goods being sold in the local bazaars, or marketplaces. In addition to providing more security to combat the threat of IEDs, the picket line eliminates the insurgent’s ability to create checkpoints along the route.

These checkpoints illegally tax the people and commerce.

A local Afghan in the Musa Qal’eh District, between Shir Ghazay and Now Zad, was quoted saying that "market prices have dropped due to fewer insurgent checkpoints.

The price of gas was 1,000 Kaldar (local currency) a liter two months ago, now it’s only 75 Kaldar a liter,” according to reports from Marine patrols polling citizens of Now Zad District.

“By keeping this road secure and open, we have basically created a road from one company’s battle area to another company’s battle area. Basically creating a roadway where we can move traffic that consists of local citizens movements as well as commerce from the southern part of the province up into some of the more isolated regions of the north,” McCoy said. “By doing this we increase the flow of goods and increase the ability of main commercial centers within Helmand. One of the effects we have seen because of this is that some of the prices in northern Now Zad within the markets have gone down because security has increased.”

The process of creating the picket line was difficult to establish. The road has been littered with IEDs waiting for vehicles to run over and detonate them. From Combat Outpost Shir Ghazay to Patrol Base Salaam Bazaar, the closest neighboring Marine base, there is only one likely route to be taken due to terrain restrictions. The insurgency knows the likely places to plant the IEDs.

eral Exercise, also known as Spanish PHIBLEX 2011.

The Marines and sailors of the 22nd MEU are currently deployed with Amphibious Squadron 6 aboard the USS Bataan Amphibious Ready Group serving as a flexible, formidable and potent force who continues to train and improve their capabilities to operate as a cohesive and effective Marine Air-Ground Task Force.

The 22nd MEU is a multi-mission, capable force, commanded by Col. Eric J. Steidl and comprised of an aviation combat element, Marine Medium Tilt Rotor Squadron 263 (Reinforced); a logistics combat element, Combat Logistics Battalion 22; a ground combat element, Battalion Landing Team, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment and its command element.

“Our platoon started down here around May 25, and in a week and a half, we were averaging almost an IED every day because they just place them out there,” said Gunnery Sgt. Emmanuel Anglade, platoon sergeant, with the CAAT. “When we first came down here, we had to secure a route from Shir Ghazay to Salaam Bazaar, and before we secured it, the platoon hit multiple IEDs in two weeks. The reason we stay out there on the picket is to prevent the insurgents from laying IEDs. If we don’t keep an eye on the road, they’ll destroy our equipment and possibly get somebody hurt. It’s our job to maintain the picket; so we keep them from doing what they do best, laying IEDs.” Lance Cpl. Zachary Smith, a driver with the CAAT, routinely drives a mine-resistant, ambush-protected all-terrain vehicle to the picket line to hold defense. He has personally seen multiple military trucks get blown up in the defense of the road. The road is now secured from the threat of enemy tampering, but it still holds potential threats.

“It took a couple weeks to clear this road up, but there is still a threat,” Smith said. “A week and a half ago I was towing a blown-up mine roller and I dug up an (unexploded) IED with it. There is still stuff out there but there is much less of a chance of hitting it.”

A company of Afghan National Army soldiers was recently introduced into the area to partner with 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines.

“What we are looking to do is increase the Afghan National Security Force presence in the area, directly addressing some of the concerns by local citizens and talking about some of the things they would like to see from the government,” said McCoy. “By having this ANA company here, we will be able to facilitate greater empowerment of ANSF forces as well as facilitate future transition as the ANA becomes established and takes greater control and greater responsibility of these security routes; basically enabling and setting the ANA into a position where they will be able to sustain and provide security for these people for the long term future.”

The mission can be tedious and uneventful, but the Marines sitting in trucks and tanks 24/7 understand their purpose. Their actions allow the far-flung districts of Now Zad and Musa Qal’eh to tie into the commerce and prosperity of the rest of Northern Helmand province. Third Battalion, 2nd Marines is working to spread the word amongst the people that they may once again drive where they choose.

“It may not look like we are doing that much every day, but by keeping these roads secure and keeping a constant presence, we are keeping traffic for the local citizens and the Marines within this area safe,” said McCoy.

HELMAND PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN

Marines, Seabees complete road in Helmand province PETTY OFFICER 2ND CLASS MATTHEW SNODGRASS Regional Command Southwest

Marines with 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), and Seabees with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4, held a “golden spike” ceremony to celebrate the completion of Route Red West, in Now Zad District, Helmand province, Aug. 5.

Maj. Gen. John A. Toolan, Commanding General of Regional Command Southwest, was on hand to praise the engineers for their hard work in completing the 27 km road, which links Now Zad to Shir Gahzay.

Warrant Officer Brandon Smith, the engineer equipment officer for 7th ESB, said the ceremony was a great way for Toolan to meet the engineers and Seabees who made the road possible.

“It was a great time,” said Smith. “(Major) General Toolan shook hands with the workers and gave out coins. The engineers are proud of the work they’ve done here, and it was good to see our work was appreciated by the general.”

Route Red West is a vital link for the local Afghans in the area for travel and commerce.

“The road connects two population centers, which means these people now have a means to commute freely,” said Smith. “President (Hamid) Karzai has said that roads are a vital

step to the modernization of Afghanistan. Roads give the Afghan population freedom of movement to connect with each other.”

The Marine and Navy engineers respect and appreciate one another’s efforts in completing the seven-month project, which will increase the freedom of movement between the two cities.

“The Marines were an important part of this construction project and did an outstanding job,” said Lt. j.g. Steven Bischak, the detail officer in charge.

“We worked well together to get the job done.”

“The Seabees were working here before us, and they’ve been here throughout the whole process,” said Smith. “We both put in long days and the job’s success really reflects that. Both teams did an outstanding job.”

The road construction process also allowed the Marines to interact with the local Afghan population.

“The Afghans were hesitant to talk with us at first, but once they saw the work we were doing for them, they started to approach us,” said Staff Sgt. Alberto Reategui, security force commander for 7th ESB. “Some of the Afghans have even given us information on insurgent activity in the area.”

The engineers also helped the local Afghans with machinery and equipment problems, said Reategui.

“It’s very much a giveand-take relationship,” he explained.

The completed road is a positive example of the

NAWA DISTRICT, AFGHANISTAN

Nawa Marines notice Afghan police ‘step their game up’ CPL. MARCO MANCHA

2nd Marine Division (Forward)

The Afghan Uniform Police all over Nawa intensify self-sufficiency as the deadline nears for US forces to pull out of Afghanistan.

Nawa is home to thousands of AUP policemen who stand side-by-side with coalition forces to fight against insurgents. 1st Lt. Dylan Buck is a platoon commander with 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (Forward), and works with the local police almost every day.

“My job consists of working a lot with the precinct commander in my area and (keeping) his men active,” said Buck. “As far as the police go, they’ve been doing a really good job coming in and are definitely on the right track.”

Precinct Commander Dawud, who only goes by one name, is in charge of more than 20 policemen in his precinct and has several more at different checkpoints and patrol bases in surrounding areas. Dawud and his men work, eat, sleep and patrol through Nawa alongside Marines every day.

Most police precincts and patrol bases in Nawa average more than a dozen patrols a week, according to the unit. Buck said he is confident Dawud will be successful in keeping his men on task when the time comes for 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment to redeploy.

He also mentioned the relationship built between his Marines and the AUP continuously improves through all the time spent together. His Marines see the AUP’s desire to serve their fellow citizens and continue to mentor the policemen.

“The policemen are stepping their game up with every passing day,” said Buck. “Marines all over Nawa are working every day to prepare the policemen to be able to run the precincts and checkpoints on their own,” Capt. Brett Taylor also believes the AUP around Nawa have come a long way.

“I think with the way security is now, if they get fully manned, they’d be capable of continuing to keep security in Nawa,” said Taylor, the police advisory team leader with the unit. “Along with the Afghan National Army that’s present locally, I think they’ll be alright.”

Taylor’s work helps mentor the Nawa District Chief of Police 2nd Lt. Haji Ahmad Shah, who oversees five police precincts and the hundreds of policemen manning them.

Shah said the only thing slowing them down is the lack of policemen.

“The precinct commanders are doing well and the policemen are able to do the operations, but we still need more men,” said Shah.

“Other than that, my men are doing great and we are thankful for all of the help from our Marine friends.”

As of March 2011, the AUPs end strength is 66,927 and is on track to meet all growth objectives for officers and AUP patrolmen under current training fill rates, according to an April 2011 report from the Department of Defense.

“For now, we’ll just have to wait and see,” said Taylor.

“But the policemen are aware of the situation and know it’s ‘sink or swim’ time. The potential is there and if they want it, they definitely have the power to keep this country safe.”

“

Halfway across the world, HQ said we were low on supplies.

I had to move fast, so I made the call.

It was late, but someone answered and I got an amazing credit card from Navy Federal.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

“

I will push you guys and you will most likely get mad,” said Luis Cisneros, the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune soccer team coach, to soccer players during the team’s tryouts, Aug. 10. “But, if you want to push yourselves, then this will be your team. I am going to bring your best game out of you.”

Cisneros held the MCB Camp Lejeune Marines soccer team’s fall tryouts Aug. 10, 15 and 16 at the Camp Johnson soccer fields to identify the players who will fill key positions. Their first game is scheduled for Sept. 11. The season will last until late November.

Due to the constant cycle of Marines and sailors rotating in and out of MCB Camp Lejeune, Cisneros, who also coaches teams in the spring and summer, has to have tryouts every season to fill his team’s roster.

“We have some great players who leave after each season, or deploy,” said the retired Marine of 30 years. “This is the Marine Corps - they come and go all the time. But, a good way of looking at it is, that one Marine gets stationed in California

the

or overseas, there will be somebody to replace him with just as good (of) talents.”

The Camp Lejeune Marines, the team’s official name, will play in the Onslow Classic Soccer Association in a 12-game season, with tournaments that will bring them to cities such as Wilmington, Charlotte and Raleigh, to name just a few.

Last season, the team took second place, but Cisneros is starting the practice off by reinforcing the fundamentals of the game.

“Basics, basics, basics,” said Cisneros while watching the soccer enthusiasts passing the ball with onetouch passes. “It’s all about the basics. The basics need to be established before we can go any further.”

All in all, there were at least 30 players who showed up, and the roster, according to OCSA rules, allows only 24 players. But as Cisneros puts it, he’ll take every single last one of them as he wants a practice squad and reserve players.

“Right now, I am focusing on the all-around aspects of every player,” said Cisneros. “I currently have five players who returned to the team for this upcoming season, and they were my starters last year. I want to

or the first time in 20 years, a Marine has been selected for the 2012 Olympics in London.

Standing at 5’ 10” and weighing at 141 pounds Cpl. Jamal Herring, a boxer with the All-Marine Boxing Team, currently holds the title of number one rated amateur boxer in the Light Welterweight.

Herring is the first Marine since Sergio Reyes to represent the Marine Corps since the 1992 Olympics.

Herring, who lived in Coram, N.Y., first started boxing in high school and since then has fallen in love with the sport.

“It all started when a close friend of mine kept nagging me to go to the gym with him,” said Herring. “His dad was a trainer and after the first week, I was constantly sore, but I’m not a quitter so I kept training.”

After high school Herring enlisted into the Marine Corps and stopped boxing so he could deploy.

In 2006, Herring was chosen for the All-Marine Boxing Team, and in 2007, he left the team to deploy again. In 2008 he rejoined the team and has been on it ever since.

In order to qualify to compete in the Olympics, Herring had to win the 2011 Armed Forces Tournament.

To have come from training in high school to holding the title of number one amateur boxer, Herring said he could not have done it by himself.

“I just had faith in God, my team and especially my coaches,”

said Herring. “One coach especially is Gunnery Sgt. Narcisco Aleman, he always got on my case and pushed me farther than I thought I could go.”

Herring also spoke about Gunnery Sgt. Reuben Woodruff who also pushed him to his limits. Another main inspiration was head coach Jesse Ravelo, who was also the head coach for the 1996 Olympics team, and has helped Herring improve his technique.

Making it to the Olympic team was not an easy feat. It has required Herring to push himself to the limit. A regular day for Herring begins with a two to ninemile run, a workout at noon and at times, a third workout is also thrown in.

Workouts focus on a variety of skills including strength, cardio and conditioning. Herring also spends time on bag drills, improving his speed and also footwork.

“I’m not going to lie, I at times doubt myself but my coaches and my teammates said I had what it takes to be number one if I just believed in myself,” said Herring. “Now I just need to work on finishing off strong. It’s a mental thing, I just need to finish off the way I started and not get to lax.”

In a few weeks, Herring is slated to go to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs where he will train until Sept. 17. Afterward, he will compete in the world tournament to qualify to compete in the Olympics.

“It feels great to be the first Marine in 20 years to make the Olympic team,” said Herring. “I think my parents would be proud whether I won or lost especially my

One thing that pushes Herring to continue to perfect his game is what he fights for. He is a father of two boys and said he fights for his daughter, who passed away.

“He’s going to do good when qualifying at the world games and will only continue to get better, the sky’s the limit for him,” said Woodruff. “All these guys here are excelling and going in the right direction and I am looking forward to more competitions.”

Rick Kunkle, a professional golfer and manager of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Paradise Point Golf Course, talks to the junior golfers about respecting the green and how it is everyone’s responsibility to correct overturned grass during the 3-Day Junior Golf Clinic offered to children ages 8 through 18 at the golf course aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, Aug. 10. During the clinic, junior golfers learned proper stances, grips and swings as well as courtesies shown to the field and other players.

lmost every child, at one point in their life, wants to be a sports athlete. Be it a football star, basketball champion or homerun hitter in baseball. Now, children had their eyes opened to another, less-thought-about sport—golf.

The 3-Day Junior Golf Clinic offered to children ages 8 through 18, gave military children a chance to try their hand in what is known as a ‘gentleman’s and lady’s sport.’

“Golf is much more than just driving the golf ball into the hole,” said Rick Kunkle a professional golfer and manager of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Paradise Point Golf Course. “Here, we also teach them about etiquette and how to properly play golf.”

The clinic was separated into

different age groups. One consisted of all the golfers who were 8 to 10 years old and the other group was for those who were 11 through 18 years old. This was to focus on different aspects of the game. While the younger group focused on learning the game, the older group learned about proper techniques, etiquette and manners-expected from all players and onlookers.

Throughout the day, children were taught how to properly hold a golf club, what a stance should look like and how to properly swing the club.

“We’re doing this for the future of golf,” said Kunkle. “If we can get them involved and generate interest, then maybe some may look to this as a sport they would enjoy. Golf doesn’t have leagues or teams so we have to work to generate interest.”

Children learned how to chip and pitch a golf ball.

Chipping is when the ball is hit from short range, usually around the ‘green.’ Pitching is similar to chipping, but the

ball is at a greater distance.

Kunkle also took time to talk to the older children about courtesies in the game of golf.

“Watch how you step, and the swing of the club,” said Kunkle. “If you turn up some turf, be courteous and correct it. If your ball is in another golfer’s way, replace the ball with a quarter or a nickel, something that will let you know where your ball was.”

The children also took a shot at the driving range, with some hitting the golf ball 100 yards. At the end of the day, each child went home knowing just a bit more about the sport. And if it appealed to them, they know they would have a place to practice their swing.

“We’re not here to find the next Tiger Woods, just spark their curiosity. If I can do that, then I’ve done my job,” said Kunkle. “I grew up on a golf course, so passing on what I’ve learned to these children, the future golfers, is something very important to me.”

More than 30 soccer players perform the “scoop” drill during the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune varsity soccer tryouts, Aug. 10, at the Camp Johnson soccer fields. The Camp Lejeune Marines, the team’s official name, held their tryouts on Aug. 10, 15 and 16 to identify which players would be put on the starting roster, substitutions and practice squads. The soccer team will play in the Onslow Classic Soccer Association in a 12-game season that will begin with their first game on Sept. 11 and end in late November.

“Though the OCSA only allows so many players on the roster on game day, I won’t cut anyone because this is the sport they love. We can use them in practice squads or as backups just in case we lose someone for a game or two,” said Cisneros.

“Some of the guys that are not back on the team either moved or deployed,” Cisneros continued, who coached the All-Marine male and female soccer teams from 1986 to 2001. “For the guys who are getting back, I want to make sure that they get to do what they looked forward to doing when they got back to the states.”

Cisneros loves winning and the competitiveness of the sport; however, he wants to make sure that his players compete with the upmost class during the games.

“We need to represent Camp Lejeune and really the Marine Corps well,” he said. “I want them to play competitively, but not dirty. I want them to be respectful of others.

Onslow Beach welcomes families, furry friends CPL. DAMANY S. COLEMAN

O

nslow Beach Recreation Area welcomes pet owners and their furry companions to visit the sandy scene and enjoy fun in the sun as a family.

However, for the safety of all beach patrons and animals, visitors to the beach must follow Base Order 10570.1D, “Domestic Animal Control; Dogs, Cats and Horses.”

Chris Usry, the general manager for Onslow Beach, said the official pet beach came about in 2008, after about six months of planning.

“I have two dogs myself, and they like to travel and

take vacations too,” said Usry. “Today, a lot of hotels, guest housing and lodging are (becoming) pet friendly.

I felt as though it was something that needed to be addressed so I put together a proposal and said there was a demand for this.”

A trial period began with making about 25 percent of the beach units for enlisted, staff noncommissioned officers and officers, pet friendly.

“While we are pet friendly, it is in a limited area,” said Usry. “If families are interested in getting a petfriendly unit, they need to specify that when they come or call in. Otherwise, there is a fine if you get caught with a pet in a non pet unit.”

Usry added that none of the beach-front units are pet friendly, because pets are still not allowed on the swimming beaches.

According to Base Order 10570.1D, all dogs, horses or other animals are required to stay within the authorized area and observe all posted rules and regulations.

Animals are not permitted on any swimming beach and they are only allowed beach access at the pet beach located south of the SNCO pavilion. Service animals, with proper ID cards, are exempt.

Specifically excluded animals are any breeds in violation of the base aggressive breeds list, including ferrets, insects, snakes, any exotic animal or any aquarium larger than five gallons.

“Being able to bring my pet is awesome, and it adds a new dimension to the family vacation,” said Capt.

Charles Hart, with Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico. “There are no worries with leaving the pet at home or at a kennel, where you have to worry if they’re even being fed. It’s nice to have her with us.”

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

Hart added this is the first year the family has brought their dog to the beach, and they’re taking advantage of the opportunity.

“My only advice is to call ahead,” said Hart.

“There are limited spaces for pet-friendly lodging on the beach, so it’s tough to get a reservation, but it’s definitely worth it.”

Cpl. Justin Nymann, with 3rd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, said it’s an awesome opportunity to be able to bring their families to the beach.

“Pets are a part of that family,” said Nymann. “The beach here isn’t crowded and if we were to go to Emerald Island or Topsail Island, you would also have to pay for parking.”

H

e laid there, s l i g h t ly quivering at the thought of what he had become, what he made of himself. The blanket he was under stopped at his waist – no use covering what he couldn’t feel anymore.

He just laid there, scared, angry, lethargic, all these emotions combated inside him as he stared at his cellular phone which rested on the table next to his bed. The one he was using just before his world came to a sudden, crashing halt.

“Recent, deadly crashes involving drivers distracted by text messaging while behind the wheel highlight a growing danger on our roads,” stated Barack Obama, president of the United States, in an executive order regarding electronic device usage while driving. “Text messaging causes drivers to take their eyes off the

road and at least one hand off the steering wheel, endangering both themselves and others.”

In a recent study by the University of Iowa, there are one million drivers utilizing a cellular device while operating their vehicles at any given time. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that one in every four traffic accidents is a result of distracted driving, with the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society reporting how 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States each year are caused by cellular device use alone.

“To date, this year, we have had around 1,800 wreck reports, a significant number of which are the result of distracted driving,” said Lt. Sean Magill, police lieutenant with the Traffic Division, Jacksonville Police Department.

“Due to its newfound national recognition as a high-risk factor in vehicle accidents, we are adding a new section of the crash report to distinguish what type of distracted driving was involved. However, that is a challenge in itself

when a good number of distracted driving-related incidents are not confessed to, actions such as texting when the accident happened.”

Making calls on a cell phone increases one’s chances of crashing by four times, an act that is now illegal in 10 states and aboard all military installations.

Texting while driving is now illegal in 34 states. Yet, the numbers for citations regarding distracted driving are holding steady, if not increasing periodically.

Yet, what of the men and women in uniform aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and surrounding installations?

The advances in naval medicine can be among the most important factors in a Marine’s career both garrison and abroad in a combat zone. Of Navy medicine, there are dozens of internal sections that ensure the level of health care delivered to Marines as well as their families is the best in the Department of Defense, with each of those sections supporting the other.

One of these sections of the entire breadth of Navy medicine is the Medical Service Corps, which is a staff consisting of officers engaged in medical support functions. This corps comprises the blunt of the administrative force in many hospital sections, such as optometry and the oversight of pharmacies, as well as scientists and researchers.

The creation of the MSC was founded by act of the United States Congress Aug. 4, 1947. Sailors from Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune celebrated the anniversary of the MSC’s birth during the MSC Birthday Ball held at the Paradise Point Officers’ Club aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Aug. 12.

“The Medical Service Corps is the bridge between nurses and doctors, running the gamut of duties and ensuring hospitals keep up with the progress of modern medicine,” said Navy Capt. Debra Soyk, director of Clinical Support Services with NHCL. “With medicine advancing so fast, you need these specialists to effectively deliver health care to either the service member or civilian.”

The Navy Nurse Corps officially began in 1947 with four specialties: supply and administration, optometry, pharmacy and allied sciences.

The need for MSC began in World War I, when doctors who were experienced with the required medicine were needed on the front lines.

Then, enlisted personnel were temporarily commissioned and given authority to oversee the treatment being given. Enlisted naval personnel were again called upon to temporarily be commissioned in 1942, after which five years later President Harry Truman officially authorized the creation of the existent MSC. “Nothing happens in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune that is not touched by MSC personnel,” said Navy Capt. Daniel Zinder, commanding officer of NHCL.

“They have engaged in the same role throughout history and do outstanding work on a daily basis.”

Due to the knowledge and experience in the medicine field they oversee, much of the MSC is comprised of “mustangs,” or enlisted personnel being commissioned, as their original brethren had done.

Fulfilling either an administration or health care scientist role, it is preferred that those being placed in authority know what they are taking charge of.

“You can’t run a hospital without MSCs,” said Soyk. “Each section of the hospital is interwoven with the others, where no one group can exist without another.

MSCs play a vital role in many parts of this hospital, and because more and more technology is playing a part in modern-day health care and the advance of medicine, that is where our knowledge and experience comes in.”

Whether deployed or at home, seeing dozens of patients per day or working in a strictly oversight capacity, the Medical Service Corps, like all other branches of Navy medicine, is essential in providing top-of-the-line care to anyone who steps through their doors.

According to the Marine Corps Community Services Resources Branch aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, to rent an average two-bedroom apartment in Jacksonville, a person must have the first and last month’s rent with a security and utility deposit. Among other things, this could add up to more than $3,000 – all of which is required up front before a person can move in.

The start-up costs to rent an apartment off base is just one example Roy Ells Jr., a financial educations specialist for the Resources Branch for Personal and Professional Programs, MCCS, provides to Marines and sailors aboard MCB Camp Lejeune and surrounding satellite installations when he gives financial advice.

“Every month, a Marine or sailor should set aside at least 10 percent of their paycheck to go into savings,” said Ells. “They shouldn’t see their whole paycheck. They should only see what’s in their account after that 10 percent is set aside. This should help any emergency situations.”

Ells and his staff briefs new joins at Marine Corps Engineer School at Courthouse Bay aboard MCB Camp Lejeune every week and twice a week at the Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools is on Camp Johnson.

They also hold reoccurring classes and workshops, such as “Taking control of Finances,” “Car Buying – Getting a Fair Deal,” “Investment Basics,” and “Home Buying.”

All too often, Ells will see expensive cars driven around base, with young Marines operating the vehicles. He will ask himself, “Can he really pay for that?” He added that once the Marines are approached early on in their careers with how to manage their finances, the better off they will be.

“These Marines (we talk to) are roughly six to nine months into their careers,” said Ells. “A lot of them won’t re-enlist after their four to five year initial contracts. We need to make sure that if they leave the Marine Corps after SEE FINANCES 3C

We are making a targeted effort to educate and enforce, meaning we talk about the dangers of distracted driving every chance we get to the service members and civilians as well as stepping up in ensuring those in violation are caught.”

Through the aggressive driving campaign, the education of driving regulations and infraction consequences are marked by upgrades in programs and seminars, such as the visit of Kelly Narowski, a paraplegic injured due to the result of bad judgment behind a steering wheel, last month.

While conventional safety stand-downs and briefs will remain, efforts to push out educational material and events to those aboard the base have been running at full steam.

In the way of enforcement, disciplinary actions for disobeying such driving

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. regulations have also been bolstered. An operator’s first driving infraction results in revoked privileges of driving aboard the base for one week. A second infraction results in two weeks suspension and a third in 30 days. After that, drivers will wish they paid attention to the law.

“You are putting everyone at risk when you lose attention while driving,” said Dutko. “There’s nothing more important than ensuring you don’t put people’s lives in danger. This is something that needs to be enforced by everyone. Police your own, your subordinates – it is really worth someone’s health or life to see who’s trying to contact you?”

There is one of three things that happen when you get behind the wheel and make bad decisions: either you are caught by the law and subsequently punished, unintentionally injure or kill someone by losing control of one ton of metal, or not getting caught to try again another day.

Individual augments, combat replacements and even involuntary recalls who deploy out of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune are trained and processed by the Deployment Processing Command - East.

However, not only service members deploy in support of today’s combat and humanitarian operations.

According to Marine Corps Order, P1900.19, the DPC-E processes, trains, and equips approximately 3,000 deploying and redeploying individuals as the Marine Corps needs them, throughout Afghanistan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq and Europe.

Department of Defense civilians and contractors who are processed to deploy go through the Contractor Replenishment Cell, which was developed aboard the base in January 2005.

Scott Morrison, deputy operations officer with the DPC and officer in charge of the CRC, said the base’s CRC has taken shape from a similar program aboard Army base Fort Benning, Ga. Nonetheless, Fort Benning’s process can take up to seven days, while the CRC aboard MCB Camp Lejeune boasts three to five days maximum to get civilians ready to deploy.

“We don’t have much of a budget nor significant manpower, but we’re trying to do the best we can to make improvements to the CRC,” said Morrison.

“Over the last two years, we’ve come a long way.”

During the three-day process, the DOD contractors receive orders, proper security clearances, standardized medical screening and equipment issue and provide other required classroom training.

Gerald Wright, a civilian sub-contractor with Scientific Research Corporation, based out of Charleston, S.C., said the CRC allows individual augments to get their medical records up to date, provides information about the country they’ll deploy to and ensures all other matters are handled before they go overseas.

“The training here is good,” said Wright, who will be working on improving the durability of mine-resistant, armor-protected vehicles. “It makes sure you have all the paperwork done and you’ve had all the briefings. Also, you can catch diseases without all the vaccinations. If you go out into the desert, and you’re not prepared for it, you will not last.”

Thomas Stanko, a civilian contractor with SAIC, said when he deploys, he’ll be doing counter-improvised explosive device missions from an aircraft known as Radiant Falcon.

“The U.S. Army is our primary customer, but we support all troops on the ground,” said Stanko.

“Our mission is to detect IEDs from the air and pass that information to the route clearing teams on the ground so they can negate, dismantle or destroy them.”

Stanko added that the CRC is a mandatory process for contractors before they deploy and all the information they learn is essential. “(It’s essential) from a threat perspective, mostly in terms of the medical threats and diseases you can get,” said Stanko. “We get training for all of our protective gear. For example, it’s important to know how to put a gas mask on in the event of a chemical or biological attack.”

When you come to the CRC, Stanko said, it gets you into the mindset of “I’m deploying.”

“When you’re a civilian and not wearing a uniform, the CRC is when you realize it’s time to get down to business. It’s not a game and there is a war going on,” said Stanko. “You’re going to get mortared and you’re going to get shot at. It’s an important step to transition us to going overseas, instead of getting on a plane and landing in country.”

Ronnie Haury, with Imagine One Technology & Management, Ltd, based out of Virginia, said the CRC helps them become more aware of all threats encountered overseas and to know what to do when they arise.

“Besides knowing how to put all your gear on, we have to be aware of our surroundings and study the culture,” said Haury. “Your life or someone on your team’s life could be in danger, and it could be up to you to notice something that someone else didn’t.”

Haury added that as a civilian, it’s a good feeling to deploy and be able to help service members come back to their loved ones.

“We’re willing to do anything we can to keep them safe and bring them home,” said Haury.

eroes Elementary School, sitting off of Brewster Boulevard on mainside Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, will soon be the education center for Pre-kindergarten through fifth grade students who previously attended the Tarawa Terrace I Primary School and to those who reside within a section of Berkley Manor, north Paradise Point, Knox Cove, Heroes Manor and Midway Park housing areas.

At a town hall meeting Tuesday, Col. Daniel Lecce, commanding officer of MCB Camp Lejeune, met with parents of Heroes Elementary School children at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center to discuss the upcoming school year.

During the meeting, Lecce went over North Carolina district leadership, timelines, construction status, and Heroes staff and enrollment numbers, as well as the welcome back letter to all Heroes students.

“It is not all perfectly good news, but mostly good news,” said Lecce.

While all other base schools and schools in the North Carolina district with begin Aug. 25, Heroes will not be able to open until Sept. 6.

The decision was made based upon the last progress update from the contractor indicating the classroom wings would be completed and the building could be furnished over Labor Day weekend.

According to a letter from Harriet Hunter-Boykin, Assistant Superintendent, “To ensure that our Heroes students are engaged in the education process during the time prior to September 6, we will be providing each family with a packet that lists online resources for children and outlines some activities that our schools will sponsor for Heroes students prior to the opening day.”

To make up for the missed school days, the school will use some of the teacher training time on Wednesday afternoon, or bank days, when students get out earlier, instead of shortening school holidays or extending the school year.

Although the school will open to students Sept. 6, Lecce advised that there will be minor distractions in the beginning.

The media room is slated to be complete by Sept. 9 and while the school cafeteria is complete, the kitchen cannot be fully certified until Sept. 19. Until then, school breakfast and lunch will be provided by TTII. The last construction project to be finished is the school gymnasi-

um, which is slated to be complete October 15. Physical education classes will be conducted either outdoors or inside school classrooms until the project is finalized.

One of the major concerns coming from parents during the meeting was bus schedules.

“We all need to work together on this,” said Lecce. “It will take some trial and error in the beginning to figure out exactly what times students will be picked up and dropped off due to traffic at the main gate.”

Bus schedules were handed out during the meeting and will be available on the base website, school website and facebook page.

All Heroes students will be bussed for safety reasons, said Lecce.

A diagram of pick-up and dropoff points was also provided to parents who prefer to drop their children off on their own.

“Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to open school, provide a safe, secure and educationally rich environment for your children,” said Hunter-Boykin.

A student and parent orientation will be held Sept. 1 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Heroes Elementary School to provide more information about the opening of the school and to answer questions not addressed at the town hall meeting.

Couples establish new problem-solving skills CPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURN

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

A couple doesn’t have to be married long to discover that relationships are difficult and problems are inevitable.

They will experience disagreements that will, at times, force them to acknowledge the person they married seems to have been replaced by someone who’s either cranky and demanding or someone who disappears whenever there’s conflict.

During a “Ready, Set, Grow” workshop titled “Making Effective Decisions,” couples who don’t always see eye-to-eye when it’s time to solve problems or make decisions, were taught how to use effective problem-solving skills at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center, with three separate sessions held Aug. 9, 10 and 11.

“Problem solving is a process, not an event,” said Bob Jenness, a military

and family life consultant. “You have to take certain steps to get to the end of it.

Just defining the problem doesn’t solve the problem. It’s certainly the most important because if there is a problem and you can’t define it, you can’t fix it.

So, you want to understand the problem that you are trying to solve.”

The free workshop, taught by licensed professionals from the Military and Family Life Consultant Program, helped class attendants learn an eightstep decision making process, recognize the “Do’s and Don’ts” of decision making, and identify characteristics of effective decision makers.

“If you have your life priorities in order, it becomes a lot easier to make problem-solving decisions,” said Jenness.

The Military and Family Life Consultant Program provides short term, situational, problem-solving counseling services to service members and

psycho-education to help military service members understand the impact of stress, deployments and family reunions following deployments and the stresses of the military lifestyle.

The program works with families, individuals, couples and children to provide non-medical problem identification services.

It also addresses relationships, stress management, grief, occupational and other individual and family issues.

Consultants provide crisis intervention when needed and work with existing military family support programs to complement services provided.

The next “Ready, Set, Grow” workshop is titled “Principles of Healthy Relationships and Marriages.” Sessions will be offered Sept. 13, 14 and 15.

To register for the best time slot, call the Community Counseling Center at 451-2864.

Commissary collecting food for soup kitchen LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERA

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

A government-wide food drive is currently underway.

During the months of June, July and August, the Feds Feed Families Food Drive Campaign calls for all federal employees to serve their communities; any food donation, even a single non-perishable item, is welcome.

Last year, the federal-wide goal was to collect two million pounds of food, of which 1.7 million was collected. The Department of Defense’s goal for 2011 is to collect 733,800 pounds, all of which will be distributed to the local communities.

For the past few years, this event was only available to federal employees in the Washington, D.C., area. Now for the first time, the program included the DOD. “All the commissaries are participating,” said Michael Dunn, the store director for the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Commissary, Defense Commissary Agency.

“Col. Lecce is a big proponent of this and we’ve been working with the Onslow County Soup Kitchen to deliver all of our donations.”

Already, the base commissary has collected more than

1,980 pounds of non-perishable goods including powdered drinks, canned goods and snacks.

Dunn noted that a bulk of the goods are coming from vendors, but that does not mean any service member’s or their family’s contributions mean any less.

“We have two bins located near the exit doors where families can come to drop off their donations,” said Dunn. “We’re taking any non-perishable goods that families and service members donate. Every bit helps toward our goal.”

Every donation received by the MCB Camp Lejeune Commissary will be donated to the Onslow County Soup Kitchen which also takes in donations from the community and churches as well. Now, the soup kitchen can add MCB Camp Lejeune to that list.

The kitchen serves meals to anyone who is in need, along with providing food from their location near the county courthouse. Volunteers also deliver meals to people who are unable to leave their homes.

“This is a great way to increase stewardship among the commissary, base and the community,” said Dunn. “Not only are service members and their families helping their own, they’re also helping those around them too.”

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. a higher debt-to-income ratio, which could have a negative impact on the family. People have to plan for things like that.”

Marine Corps Community Services provides classes for officers and staff noncommissioned officers to help their junior Marines with their finances. The class is called Command Financial Specialist, which, according to Ells, will give the tools to officers and SNCOs to use at the unit level.

“In 1996, there were more than 9,900 bad checks written on Camp Lejeune alone,” said Ells, who has worked with MCCS finance section since. “I don’t have an exact figure, but the bad checks eventually came back to the command so that Marine or sailor would be held liable. This class we provide pays dividends at the unit level. It’s taken root since then, but it still needs to improve.”

Ells recommends service members should have a plan. He said if a Marine usually spends around $2,000 a month on bills, they should save up and have at least three times that just in case an unusual event happens to where they can’t pay their bills.

“Common rule of thumb is to always have a back-up plan,” said Ells. “I was there once when I was a young sergeant. I was in debt, but I knew I had to get out of it because I was going to stay in the Marines for the long haul and because I had a family to take care of. There are ways to manage your finances. Don’t get what you want, only what you need and can afford.”

Buying that most expensive car might sound nice, especially with a regular income. But, when that time comes to have fun on the weekend, they might have their bills paid, but nothing to have fun with.”

When Marines do decide to get out, they will get some help from the Marine Corps, but when that help runs out, they need to have a plan, according to Ells.

“When Marines decide to leave the Corps after four or eight years, the Corps pays for their belongings to be shipped back home, pays for their travel and a few days of per diem,” said the retired Marine of 24 years. “They know their paycheck stops, their health care stops and depending on their living situation, they’ll most likely have to have that first and last month’s rent, security deposit and so on. They need to be prepared.”

To make things simple, Ells always mentions the debt-to-income ratio, which is the percentage of a consumer's monthly gross income that goes toward paying debts, such as a car payment, house payment or any other debt one might have. He recommends that no one should ever have higher than 20 percent.

“In some cases, you have two active-duty service members married which means two steady incomes,” said Ells. “But, if one of those active-duty service members were to get out, that’s one income lost and

iving in Eastern North Carolina has its perks – sweet tea, southern hospitality and the Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival.

Right in the middle of a month that offers little relief from the heat and has no holiday to speak of, the Shrimp Festival lifted the spirits of thousands of spectators last weekend.

“The festival is a great way to tell the tale of Sneads Ferry and what it has to offer,” said Tim Supple, former festival chairman. “We want to welcome our visitors to our quaint fishing village.”

Guests were greeted with a “morning, y’all,” from volunteers as the celebration kicked off with a parade with the 2nd Marine Division Band from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune heralding the opening of the “Official Shrimp Festival of North Carolina.”

Alicen Farmer, Miss Shrimp Queen 2011, and Sammy the Shrimp were followed by SEE SHRIMP 6D

‘Winnie the Pooh’ revisits familiar childhood friends Now playing at Camp Lejeune “WINNIE THE POOH” (G) “Winnie the Pooh” is a Disney reboot of their beloved franchise, the wonderful children’s classic by A.A. Milne.

Walt Disney Animation Studios returns to the Hundred Acre Woods with the first big screen Pooh adventure in more than 35 years.

This time it follows the silly old bear and his pals on a day full of adventures, including the search for a new tail for Eeyore.

Owl sends the whole gang, which includes Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo and Eeyore, on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit.

It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who simply sets out to find some honey.

Pooh is voiced by Jim Cummings, and Craig Ferguson is the Owl. Writers and directors Don Hall and Stephen J. Anderson, respectively, deliver a beautiful visual backdrop for the now 85-year-old Pooh, whose endless quest for the golden syrup, always remains a cub at heart.

“Winnie the Pooh” is an absolute delight; a good, wholesome, sweet and old-fashioned movie pleasure for the entire family and all who remain young at heart. The kids especially will enjoy the gentle characters and

the short running time.

Now playing in Jacksonville

“THE CHANGE-UP” (R) “The Change-Up” is a comedy about two friends who envy each other’s lives and wish to switch positions.

Jason Bateman (“Horrible Bosses,” “Couples Retreat”) stars as Dave Lockwood, an overworked, but successful lawyer, who is happily married and a father of three young children.

Ryan Reynolds (“Green Lantern,” “The Proposal”) stars as Mitch Planko, a single, quasiemployed man-child who has never grown up or met a responsibility he liked.

Mitch works out of his bachelor pad by day and at night has encounters with as many women as possible; however, secretly he longs for someone to love and to come home to.

Best friends Dave and Mitch grew up together and used to be inseparable, but through the years have slowly drifted apart and now live in different worlds.

To Mitch, Dave has it all: a beautiful wife, Jamie, played by Leslie Mann (“17 Again,” “Knocked Up”), three wonderful kids who adore him, and a highpaying job at a prestigious law firm.

To family man and overworked Dave, living Mitch’s stress free life

And then one night, after a drunken binge, the two find their worlds turn upside down when they wake up in each other’s bodies.

Despite all the benefits, Dave and Mitch soon discover that things are not as rosy as they seemed.

Further complicating matters are Dave’s sexy legal associate, Sabrina, played by Olivia Wilde (“Cowboys & Aliens,” “TRON: Legacy”); and Mitch’s estranged father, played

but sweet comedy.

Bateman successfully takes the challenge of turning his mild-mannered character into a deliciously loose cannon, showing more and more of his comedic side. He improvises with Reynolds, and the two comedy pros (who also are best friends in real life), are charismatic and feed off

each other with solid impersonations.

“The Change-Up” is an extremely hilarious movie about bodyswapping that takes the traditional movies of this kind to a whole other level.

Chaplainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner

Peace found during storms, sufferings LT. MYRON D. MCCONVILLE

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a painting Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come across on occasion that always catches my eye. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a painting of a lighthouse on the coast being pounded by waves during a storm. The water is so high and furious that you can barely see the base of the tower.

However, what draws my immediate attention is that in the midst of the pounding surf stands a man dutifully keeping watch.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alert but calm, and nothing in his demeanor indicates any sense of dread or despair. He stands his watch because he knows that sailors on the high seas are depending on his lighthouse to guide them in case they become disoriented.

Every time I see the man in the painting, I always wonder how he is able to stand his ground through such adversity. How can he stand there, doing his duty, when at any moment he could be swept away to sea without any hope for survival?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stretch to say he had peace even in the midst of the storm. We may ask the same question of anyone serving as a fireman, police officer or Marine.

While everyone is running away from the fire, explosions and chaos, there are those who run toward the noise in order to do their duty, protect the innocent and fend off men who are intent on evil.

Even the rest of us who simply go about our business, live our lives and raise our families, will eventually face all kinds of trials, tribulations, disappointments and, as the scriptures call them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Valleys of the shadow of death.â&#x20AC;?

What keeps us going when faced with unemployment, the loss of a loved one or simply experiencing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;storms of life?â&#x20AC;?

You get the sense that although the man in the painting is alone, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really alone. No one is really strong enough to face down a hurricane by themselves.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fully aware that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not his own strength enabling him to stand his ground and overcome his fear. Rather, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the strength he draws from God, his maker.

While the foundation heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standing on is firm and will not give way to the storm, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the Lord who is his rock, fortress, shield and deliverer (Psalm 19:2).

Friends, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it in ourselves to overcome lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges alone. We need supernatural help. God is that help.

More than that, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our friend who is there for us and with us, whether we are enjoying the fruits of our labor or suffering from some disaster.

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go through life alone, nor should we.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference between coming through on the other side of that valley filled with despair and regret, feeling destroyed, and coming through battered but not beaten, bruised but victorious.

Fran Bing, a youth services technician at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, reads an educational story to parents and their children during Storytime at the Midway Park Community Center, Aug. 10.

Storytime promotes education, fun CPL. DAMANY S. COLEMAN Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Reading is indefinitely fundamental.

To promote the importance of exposing children to books at a young age, as well as other educational endeavors, Marine Corps Community Services has made several storytimes available for children to read, have fun and learn something new.

Parents and their children were given a short lesson on ponds, as well as other educational facts and yummy snacks, during a Silly Snacks and Storytime event at the Midway Park Community Center, Aug. 10.

Fran Bing, a youth services technician with the Harriotte B. Smith Library

aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, read â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fireflies, Fireflies Light the Way,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Small, Small Pond,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otters Under Waterâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Busy Beaver.â&#x20AC;?

Bing also took time to help the children properly identify some of the creatures that call ponds home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Storytime was started 22 year ago,â&#x20AC;? said Bing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do it at the library, daycare centers and community centers every week.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed mostly for preschoolers but we welcome any age group.â&#x20AC;?

Bing added that she believes the sooner you start reading to children, the faster they progress at it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some days I get to read my whole bag of books, other days I can only get through three,â&#x20AC;? said Bing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the problem is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been too hot outside for the

kids to go out and play, but their energy has to go somewhere. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get them to sit still and listen sometimes.â&#x20AC;?

Bing said on average, she does more than a dozen storytimes a week, pressing the importance of early reading to children and young parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get the children and families used to coming so they can share the love of books,â&#x20AC;? said Bing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose it.

Starting at this age, gives the parents a chance to see what we have to offer.

Storytime is also an opportunity for parents to socialize â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some of these parents have gone two to three days without time to even talk to another grownâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;up.â&#x20AC;?

Jacquelynn Pfeil, a military spouse, said com-

ing to storytime is great for stay at home parents to get their kids out and socialize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came to a Mommy and Me Yoga class and saw a few other things that were offered, and this was one of them,â&#x20AC;? said Pfeil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my second class and I would recommend it to any other parent.â&#x20AC;?

Aimee Cordy, another military spouse who attended Storytime, said the event is fun and everyone enjoys it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoy it, especially my four year old,â&#x20AC;? said Cordy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really like the dancing and music afterward. (My son) is just now learning to sit still for the reading. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great learning experience.â&#x20AC;?

Pirates pillage, perform during annual invasion AMY BINKLEY

wab the decks and batten down the hatches. The pirates are back.

The small town of Beaufort, N.C., was swarming with swashbucklers during the annual Pirate Invasion, Friday and

Saturday.

The two days of mayhem were full of battles, trials and debauchery portraying the actual takeover that occurred nearly three centuries ago when pirates docked along the city’s shores.

They had control over the town for three days before a militia made up of farmers and other local workers retaliated and took back their town.

Of course, the celebration focused more on fun and less on the fear of having to walk the plank.

Encouraged to dress the part, thousands of people flooded the streets by the sea clad in costumes as simple as an eye patch and as elaborate as Jack Sparrow’s eyeliner.

“We had an outstanding crowd,” said Doug Doubleday, maritime coordinator. “It’s always a little different. We try to do more each year.”

This year, the living history began at high noon with the pirates assembling at Grayden Paul Park and wreaking havoc throughout the town, raising flags and making their presence known among the citizens.

The Shadow Players, a group of pirate actors, put on an impressive sword fighting show and several visitors took advantage of the tours of the vessel Meka II, manned by Beaufort’s own Captain Horatio Sinbad.

“We had at least 1,000 people lined up out here watching the attack and sword fighting,” marveled Doubleday. “I like watching the kids’ faces and the excitement of the whole town.”

The pirates paraded through town on Saturday to awaiting crowds, including several Marines and their families from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.

As the fight for Beaufort took place before their very eyes, they gasped, screamed and cheered when the cavalry came marching in to save the day.

“The experience of seeing the pirates and the ships is exciting,” said Natalie Hammett, a military spouse.

“The kids love the interaction and sword fighting.”

Another addition to the invasion this year was the inclusion of several officer’s wives during the attack performance. Dressed as townsfolk, they played their

part perfectly and had a fun time.

“I really liked getting the community involvement and hearing the history,” said Jen Krivohlavy, who played a town member.

Bob Malone has narrated the attack performance for the past three years and he said it never gets old.

“My favorite part is watching the people in the crowd,” he said. “It’s a day when everybody gets to be a pirate.”

After the attack, the pirate prisoners were taken to the Beaufort Historical Site, tried and sentenced to death by hanging in front of a large crowd.

“Nothing says family like a good hanging,” joked James “Taz” Crutchfield, who plays Captain Remy Moreau with the Shadow Players.

Though the historic performance did stage a pretend hanging, they were careful to show the younger members of the audience it was all make believe.

With the pesky pirate problem under control, the residents of Beaufort slept easy Saturday night and celebrated at the Buccaneer’s Bash with games, grog and music by the band House of Cadarn.

SHRIMP FROM 1D floats and cars with waving princesses, politicians and even professional baseball player, William “Rookie” Davis.

Several service members and their families joined in on the festival fun, mingling with the citizens of the normally quiet town.

“This is small town America,” said Amy Canuso,a military spouse.

“You don’t get this in big cities. It’s nice, and the kids love it. It’s some of the simple pleasures of life.”

Once the last clown waved goodbye, the crowd descended upon the festival grounds, eager to see what awaited them.

“I have seen more people here this year than I have in years past,” noted Patricia Smith, a former festival chairman. “There’s something to do all day – food, music, crafts and dancing. And don’t forget to try the shrimp.”

The people poured in and found plenty of activities to pick from including camel rides, several inflatable games and even a fossil dig.

The people were popping shrimp like candy all weekend and many of the vendors had to send for more when they started

While the residents were the stars of the weekend, they weren’t the only ones gaining notoriety.

“The Marines are wonderful,” said Wanda Harris, a local crafter.

“They’ve been superb.”

Marines volunteered to work over the weekend, helping set up tents and working the security detail.

“It’s actually nice to be around civilians,” said Pfc. Michael A. Keech, Utilities Instructions Company, Marine Corps Engineer School. “They give us a lot of respect and appreciation.”

Pfc. Kevin Smith enjoyed meeting the members of the community.

“We like coming to help,” he said. “It seems like a lot of people put their hearts into it. It’s not even like work. It’s fun.”

The Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival was named the 2010 Onslow County Event of the Year by the Onslow County Tourism Advisory Committee, and after another successful year with larger crowds than ever before, it’s sure to be in the running again.

running low after only a few hours.

Meanwhile, visitors viewed the vehicles on display in the annual car show and listened to the stories of artists whose passion for their work is undeniable.

“We have a lot of good crafters here,” said Jimmie Kent, a basket crafter and vendor. “We show what makes Sneads Ferry unique.”

Whether their taste was a turn on the dance floor or a turkey leg treat, no one had any complaints.

“The people, the shrimp, the excitement of it – I love it all,” said Millie Prechtm, a local vendor known for her original funnel cake recipe.

Another vendor, David Fishkind, travels from Myrtle Beach, S.C., annually to be a part of the Shrimp Festival.

“There are a lot of factors that go into a great show,” he explained.

“Here, it’s the people. It’s like a family.”

The festival has grown year after year, and, according to Smith, the appeal is simple.

“It’s a down-home festival with down-home people,” she said. “We all want to be here.”

Parents and social workers of exceptional family members learned how to prepare their children for the upcoming school year during a workshop held at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center, Aug. 11.

EFMP parents brace for back to school special education process CPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURN

One of the most important determining factors in the success of students with special needs is positive parent support and involvement.

uring a workshop held at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center, Aug. 11, parents and social workers of exceptional family members learned how to prepare their children for the upcoming school year.

The class focused on federal and state regulations for special education, the process for an Individual Education Plan.

The plan is a legally binding document spelling out exactly what special education services a child will receive; new special education requirements; placement and eligibility and how to go about making the appropriate accommodations and modifications to the program put in place for their children.

“One of the most important determining factors in the success of students with special needs is positive parent support and involvement,” said Debbie

Debbie Powell, Exceptional Family Member Program caseworker Powell and Exceptional Family Member Program caseworker. “When children believe that success is possible, they will try. So, your first priority is to help your children believe in themselves and their ability to learn.”

Special Education is governed by Individuals with Disabilities Act and covers from birth to age 21.

Powell reminded parents that the definition of a disability in the education world differs from the medical world and for students to be considered disabled they “need special education (special designed instruction) and related services.”

According to IDEA, there are 14 ar-

eas of exceptionalities to make students eligible for special education.

These areas include autism, deafblindness, deafness, developmental delay, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, specific learning disability, speech or language impairment, traumatic brain injury and visual impairment including blindness.

With the reauthorization of IDEA in 2004, to place a child in special education, school systems are required to perform research-based interventions before the referral process.

During the pre-referral process, parents meet with a team of professionals who perform no more than two six- to eight-week educational interventions.

If the child is then identified as a special-needs student, the school system has a 90-day period to put an IEP in place and establish what special education programs the student will be placed in.

An IEP specifies the concerns of parents and is a statement of the students present level of performance, annual goals, modifications, accommodations and supports.

“Parents should remember that IEPs are a process they’re a legal document, can be changed when needed, must be reviewed annually and that they are individualized to the specific students needs,” said Powell.

To find more information on preparing students for special education and the IEP process, visit www.nichey.org, www.schoolfamily.com, www.ncpublicschool.org/ec or www.idea.ed.gov.

Couples prepare with Before ‘I Do’ CPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURN Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The Midway Park Marine Corps Family Team Building office aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area held a Before “I Do” marriage workshop for proactive couples, Aug. 4 and 5.

The two-day, skills-based workshop was held for couples who wanted to build a stronger relationship with their significant other.

The course focused on topics including enhancing communication and problem-solving skills, the difference in life views between men and women, keeping fun in the relationship, expressing concerns constructively and examining hidden issues and expectations.

“We want to create a marriage that is thriving, exciting, vibrant, where you love being married to that person,” said Breck Bregel, a life skills program trainer, Marine Corps Community Services. “One of the things that keep it thriving is doing things together and sharing life together.”

The classes are encouraged for couples who have been married for three years or less, engaged or even in a serious relationship. Free child care is available with the required advanced registration.

The workshop included group exercises, open discussions and time for couples to discuss each strategy learned. They also learned new methods of problem solving.

The workshops are given at bases across the U.S. as a relationship enhancer or a preparation course for those planning on getting married.
