Families and friends within the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort community joined together for the Commanding Officer’s Tree Lighting Ceremony, Dec. 4. Col. Peter D. Buck, the commanding officer of the Air Station, lit the tree to mark the start of the holiday season. Marines and families drank hot chocolate and children got to sit on Santa’s lap. Holiday celebrations boost a sense of togetherness and camaraderie by bringing Marines and families together in a relaxed environment.
Silent victims of domestic violence speak in death Cpl. Sarah Cherry Staff Writer
Candy Land aboard Fightertown Pfc. Jonah Lovy Staff Writer
Hidden away from the warm evening breezes of December in South Carolina lies a winter wonderland of holiday cheer. Children giggle as they toss imaginary snowballs at one another. Families decorate face masks together. Mr. and Mrs. Claus spread the good mood, inviting children to climb on their laps and whisper Christmas wishes. A room brimming with laughter, music and activity greeted visitors who stopped by Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort’s fitness center on Dec. 3. Candy Land at the North Pole was the first holiday event of the season for service members throughout
the Tri-Command and their families. Marine Corps Community Services organized the celebration as a fun holiday event that incorporates exercise for the whole family. Fitness is an essential part of military life so it was important to incorporate as part of the event. Activities included rock climbing, coloring, and the Candy Land circuit course. “We have this program because military life is so hectic and stressful,” said Harriet Fisher, the physical fitness program coordinator at MCCS. “We like to provide an opportunity for fun around the holidays.” see

and read these stories, you’ll see the stories of people you know; mother, brother, nextdoor neighbor,” said Ginny Westcott, Family Advocacy Program prevention trainer. There were 46 people killed by their partner in South Carolina in 2013. Of the victims, 38 were female and eight were
male. “South Carolina ranks number one in the nation for women killed by their male partners,” said Westcott. “Our numbers for the Tri-Command are holding steady, not going down.” Domestic violence includes see Victim, page

The gift of love Lt. Allen Presser
U.S. Navy Chaplain Corps
It is amazing how we take so many things for granted, and if we are honest, we probably take most things for granted. There are so many things that we do not realize are gifts from God, or even miracles of God. For instance, the beautiful and innocent smile of a newborn, the opportunity to hold and kiss one’s baby, and the ability to love and be loved by each other. In fact, love, and even the empowerment to be able to exchange love, are all gifts from God. Imagine what the world would look like if there was absolutely no love. First of all, there would be no such thing as forgiveness, and without forgiveness, there would be a perpetual increase of anger, hatred, bitterness, and malicious works of revenge working in the hearts of people continuously. Further, the only way to win or overcome some situations is by forgiving the situation; in other words, giving what does not belong to another such as money that is owed to someone—paying off another’s financial debt or releasing money that is owed to us. Someone may say, “But how does that relate to forgiveness issues of the heart?” Simple, giving love to someone not deserving, or giving someone love in despite of someone being mean or evil to us, is just like giving the same amount of bor-
rowed money to those who owe us the money—one is giving money, and the other is giving love, otherwise known as forgiveness. Another person may say, “I forgive them, but I will never forget.” My question to that person would be then, are you sure you have forgiven them? My Bible says that love keeps no record of wrongs, or love “does not take into account a wrong suffered” (1 Corinthians 13:5). Still another would say, “But I just can’t forgive that person for doing that horrible deed.” I did not say it would be
loose sight of wisdom and put ourselves in an unsafe or other unwise situation. The heart of the matter though is to not have ill recompense to another for retribution or payback. Let’s leave vengeance to the Lord, and keep a right heart in the situation which says, “Let me pray for this person so that God will have mercy on them and so that they do not get what they deserve, but that God would lead them to repentance” (Romans 2:4). Such prayers for our offenders help us to have and keep a right heart toward them, and blessing them with gifts or other acts of kindness are still other ways that we can choose to love these people. If we are choosing to love them based upon our actions, then this will help transform our hearts and emotions toward the person. R e m e m b e r, our emotions are supposed to be our servants, not our masters, and they will line up and follow the decisions we have chosen, whether for evil, or for good as in the case of loving and forgiving, as demonstrated through our acts of unconditional goodness. Jesus is our example, and even when He was on the cross being unjustly murdered by us people, He prayed, “Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34). Certainly Jesus is the ultimate Gift of Love from God Who is God our Savior, and the Love of God. He is our example of forgiveness, Who is the ultimate Gift of Love from God.
“There are so many things that we do not realize are gifts from God, or even miracles of God.” Lt. Allen Presser
easy, but here is where we can reach out to God for help on the issue. Jesus said, “…with God, all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26); “He who calls upon the Name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13); and we can pray the prayer of King David when he said, “Create in me a clean heart oh God, and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). We can ask God for help on the issues of our heart. Next, we can treat that person as if they had never committed the offense in the first place—this is not to say that we also

Marines enlist, marry, retire together Pfc. Samantha Torres Staff Writer
Stepping onto the famous yellow footprints is an event many Marine’s remember for the rest of their lives. For those who make it through recruit training, it is a bond forged by blood, sweat and tears. For two Tri-Command Marines, it means something more. Gunnery Sgt.’s Erica and Stanley Sloan went to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island on Nov. 7, 1994, and graduated on Feb. 3, 1995. The Sloan’s retired from the Parris Island Parade Deck on Dec. 5, 2014, “back to where it all started,” said Gunnery Sgt. Erica Sloan. Their time in the Marine Corps brought them together during Miilitary Occupational School. Both Pfc. Erica Bonner and Pvt. Stanley Sloan attended MOS school in Meridian, Miss. where their paths crossed. After MOS School, Pfc. Bonner was transferred to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point,
N.C., and Pvt. Sloan was transferred to Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa Japan. During this time, Lance Cpl. Bonner was pregnant with their first son. “It was tough starting out pregnant in Cherry Point, because I had my son at 26 weeks and he only weighed 1 lb 13 oz,” said Gunnery Sgt. Erica Sloan, the MAG- 31 Fiscal Officer. “He was in the hospital for 4 months, which made it even tougher.Because he was born so early, once he was released from the hospital, he needed constant supervision and was on a 24 hour apnea machine.” “Between being a Marine, a spouse and a mother, balancing it all out was the hardest thing for me,” said Gunnery Sgt. Erica Sloan, a native of Sommerville, Tenn.. “It was hard, being a single parent [during that time of my life].” In July 1996, Lance Cpl. Sloan reported to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, S.C., while his wife was still stationed at MCAS Cherry Point. The Sloan’s got married the following year,
and in August 1997, Cpl. Sloan got orders to MCAS Beaufort, to be with her husband. In December 2001, Sgt. Stanley Sloan, a native of Winnsboro, S.C. went on a deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. While he was on deployment, and his wife was in Miramar, they both got promoted to the rank of staff sergeant. “ I think because we were both Marines, deployments weren’t as hard for us as for other couples; we knew what to expect,” said Gunnery Sgt. Erica Sloan. Soon after, the Sloan’s, now with two children, were transferred to Okinawa, Japan. In June 2006, they moved back to Beaufort, this time with three children. While in Beaufort, the Sloan’s flew to Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima for their reenlistment ceremony. “They put our story in the paper, and made it all lovey-dovey,” said Gunnery Sgt. Erica Sloan. Being in the Marine Corps, moving around so often and frequent deployments left the
Sloan’s with few opportunities to have a honeymoon, or a proper wedding ceremony said Gunnery Sgt. Erica Sloan. “It’s hard to get our families together in one area, and there isn’t much time to.We do plan on having a real wedding at our 20 year anniversary.” “The only advice I have for other married couples in the Marine Corps is keep each other first, and don’t let others interfere in your relationship. Stay each other’s best friend. As long as you get married for the right reason and you want it to work, it will,” she continued. Now that the Sloan’s have time, they plan on doing things as a married couple that they didn’t get to experience during their time in the Marine Corps. For thier 20th anniversary, the Sloan’s plan on having a big wedding ceremony. After serving 20 years in the Marine Corps, and after the many deployments, three children, and 18 years of being married later, Gunnery Sgt. Erica Sloan said, “I’m done; my journey is over.”

Many service members from the Air Station showed up with their families to take part in the festivities. “It’s all about family and wellness,” said Fisher, who organized the event. “Parents can have a moment to just relax and let their children have fun while getting exercise at the same time.” Lynn Martin, an event coordinator with MCCS, noted that the event was even more successful and organized than last year’s Candy Land. More families showed up and stayed longer. The final touch of holiday atmosphere was a white wall of ‘snow’ that visitors could write their names in.

intimidation, physical and sexual assault, and emotional abuse. Violence within family units can impact any community and individual regardless of race, gender or orientation. “It’s something we need to recognize as a military community,” said Westcott. “We don’t want to see any of our military family listed.” The state of South Carolina implanted the S.T.O.P. Violence Against Women program to prosecute domestic violence and train related government entities on causes, consequences and laws regarding domestic violence. The Marine Corps and the Air Station have a variety of resources to help prevent and confront domestic violence, including resources that victims may contact anonymously if they choose. These include the family advocacy program, Marine Corps Family Team Building and military OneSource. Service members are invited to walk through the behavioral health branch hallway to read the stories of victims. For more information call 228-6126.

Forest Light brings Japan forces, U.S. Marines together YAMATO, KUMAMOTO PREFECTURE, Japan -Japan Ground Self-Defense Force members and U.S. Marines came together in a ceremony Dec. 1 to open up exercise Forest Light 15-1 at the Oyanohara Training Area in Yamato, Kumamoto prefecture, Japan. Forest Light is a routine, semi-annual exercise designed to enhance the U.S. and Japan military partnership, solidify regional security agreements and improve individual and unit-level skills in a bilateral training environment. During the bilateral training exercise, elements of the 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, currently attached to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, under the unit deployment program, will join with the 42nd Regiment, 8th Division, Western Army, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. “In recent years, Western Army has become the center-point of the (JGSDFs) amphibious operations development,” said U.S. Marine Maj. Paul T. Bartok, from Bristol, Connecticut, the III MEF liaison to the JGSDF Western Army.“There is an increased focus on working with the Marine Corps. They are very excited Marines are coming here and very excited to work with us because they want to learn a lot.” Forest Light 15-1 will consist of a command post exercise and field training events including functional skills training, mortar training, helicopter-borne skills and combined arms procedures scheduled for Dec. 1-12. Forest Light demonstrates the continued commitment of the U.S. and Japan to increase interoperability of our armed forces and maintain a strong partnership to protect Japan from external aggression. U.S. and Japan forces have a long history of training together and value all opportunities to learn from each other to maintain the readiness of allies, said Yamashita.
Marines rescue woman from overturned vehicle SHELBYVILLE, Texas -- On Nov. 26, vthree Marines with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, got that opportunity. After conducting a funeral detail in Shelbyville, Texas, the Marines started the drive back to their home unit in Bossier City, Louisiana. Less than a mile down the road from the cemetery, the Marines saw an overturned vehicle. “I just wanted to help her. Why wouldn’t anybody stop to help a person in a situation like that?” said Staff Sgt. Micheal G. McGee, the Inspector Instructor administration chief for Bravo Co., 1st Bn, 23rd Marines, 4th Marine Division. Upon reaching the accident McGee told Lance Corporals Calvin J. Combs and Brandon L. Persilver, two Reserve Marines who were with him, to get through the passenger window and get her out of her seatbelt. While on one side of the vehicle, getting the woman untangled from her seatbelt, another gentleman showed up to help. Working together they got the woman out of her truck legs first, stomach down, by cutting the seatbelt which ultimately saved her life. McGee, who was still in his dress blue uniform from the funeral, paid no attention to how dirty his uniform was getting as he focused on helping the trapped woman. After getting the woman out of the truck, Mcgee started looking for anything to identify the woman. He found a paper next to the truck which had her name on it, Patti Cranford. McGee learned the other gentleman, Steve Dudley, was a local volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician. McGee let Dudley take over the situation as police and sheriff officers arrived. The Marines then left the scene to continue their drive to Bossier City. After the Marines left the scene, LoAnn Harris, the daughter-in-law of the deceased at the funeral, came upon the accident where she recognized the truck and after asking the police if it was Patti Cranford, she told them Patti was her cousin. Harris found out later that a few Marines had just been there. Although McGee credits basic human courtesy as the reason why he jumped into action his concern for Cranford didn’t end after leaving the scene. “I want to thank all the Marines who assisted because I thought I had lost her,” said Harris, who considers Patti a sister more than a cousin. “I teared up a little bit, but I was just glad that she was okay,” said McGee. “I would do it for anybody.”

One Shot: Marines, JGSDF complete sniper training Cpl. Drew Tech III Marine Expeditionary Force
YAMATO, KUMAMOTO PREFECTURE, Japan -- U.S. Marine Corps scout snipers collaborated with Japan Ground Self-Defense Force snipers during a lesson in stalking Dec. 2 in the Oyanohara Training Area in Yamato, Kumamoto prefecture, Japan. The training is part of Forest Light 15-1, a semi-annual, bilateral exercise consisting of a command post exercise and field training events conducted by elements of III Marine Expeditionary Force and the JGSDF. The Marines worked alongside the JGSDF scout snipers to improve their abilities in camouflage techniques, stalking when moving through open and wooded areas and the different movement techniques that can be used while stalking. “These techniques are important to us as snipers because we need to be able to move undetected into different areas and be able to set up and engage selected targets,” said U.S. Marine Sgt. Joseph Ar-
mistead, a scout sniper with Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, currently attached to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III MEF, under the unit deployment program. “Showing the JGSDF how to do this and increase their knowledge on it will make them better at their task as well.” Forest Light demonstrates the continued commitment of the U.S. and Japan to increase interoperability of our armed forces and maintain a strong partnership to protect Japan from external aggression. “I believe that this bilateral training is important because it’s building our friendship and communications with them … bridging that gap between our culture and theirs,” said Armistead, from Seymour, Tennessee. “Another importance is they have different methods on how to perform the same task we do. So we share our ideas and at the end of it we both become better.” The language barrier gives the two sides an added challenge during the bilateral training, but in the end they both manage
to get their messages across, according to U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Jonas G. Dewald, from Wilson, North Carolina. “It has been more difficult than I thought it would be,” said Dewald, a machine gunner with the company. “Things tend to get lost in translation, especially when we are trying to hit all the little details and really improve our stalking abilities. I think the main idea was conveyed in the end though.” The same group of Marines is scheduled to continue to work with the JGSDF snipers throughout the exercise. “I’ve enjoyed working with the JGSDF,” said Dewald. “They have been very professional, very humble and eager to learn, which is great. I’m looking forward to some of the stalk lanes later this week that we have planned. I’m hoping to see them put some of the skills we taught them today into action.” The JGSDF snipers agreed learning from Marines with combat experience is a valuable addition to their training regimen.

Marines dive into amphibious skills

III Marine Expeditionary Force
CAMP HANSEN, OKINAWA, Japan -- Marines are known for their ability to operate in the air, on land and at sea. With this in mind, Marines looked towards the water, bracing themselves for their next dive from the sky, determined to conquer the challenges ahead. Marines with Expeditionary Operations Training Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, III MEF helocasted from a CH-53E Super Stallion as part of the final evaluation during the three-week scout swimmers course Nov. 5 at White Beach Naval Facility. The course teaches Marines how to perform insertion and extraction techniques by water, and become members of a battalion landing team‘s swimming element, according to Sgt. Jon C. Walters, the senior amphibious raid instructor for EOTG. The course started in the classroom, progressed to the
pool, and ended in the waves of the ocean. “We build their water confidence in the pool so when they are facing waves in their face, rip currents, and undertows, they have confidence in their ability to get out of them,” said Walters, from Matoaca, Va. “We brought the students out to the beach to take the skills from the classroom and pool to a real environment using natural and man-made structures.” The skills the Marines learn in this course expand their ability to provide reconnaissance capabilities that are necessary during operations, according to Maj. Breck Perry, the expeditionary warfare branch officer in charge with EOTG, and a student of the course. “Scout swimmers swim ashore as an advance force to provide security and set conditions ashore for raid forces to conduct their actions,” said Perry, from Fredericksburg, Va. “When reaching the objective, you’re getting your mind in
the fight, conducting observation reports, and analyzing the composition of the ground to inform the incoming forces.” Aside from approaching their objectives using boats, Marines were also trained to perform amphibious insertions using rotary aircraft, also known as helocasting. Marines prepared for the jump by taking classes and practicing the procedures by jumping off a pier beforehand. “It was like muscle memory after conducting the rehearsals in the boat basin, and all the Marines knew what they were
doing when they entered the aircraft,” said Perry. “It’s always an adrenaline rush! You jump out, keep your knees together, make sure you have a tight body position, hit the water and safely get to the boat.” The challenging course took the Marines beyond basic swimming skills, according to Sgt. Gerry Pratama, a student of the course. After mastering these skills the Marines in the course are graduated graduated Nov. 6 and earned the title of scout swimmer.

SOUTH BASE, Serbia -- With the unpredictability of the global security environment, Partnership for Peace countries continue to build extensive relationships with U.S. and NATO forces; through standardization, integration and cooperation, these exercises improve combined-force capabilities and demonstrate a collective commitment to preserving European stability. “The world’s problems are no longer solvable by one nation,” said Capt. Caleb Reed, commander of American Forces for Platinum Wolf. During Exercise Platinum Wolf 15, U.S. Marines, along with Bulgarian, Croatian, Macedonian, Romanian and Serbian Armed Forces, conducted peacekeeping operations training together. “Peacekeeping operations are a growing trend in our modern global climate; the focus of the exercise is on procedures and specific skills that a unit would require during a mission,” said Reed. Strong bonds continue to be maintained through multilateral training like this, enabled by a rotational contingent of Marines known as the
Black Sea Rotational Force. Their year-round presence in the region helps keep robust relationships and familiarity with partner nations in a way that convention six-month deployments can’t. “The operational knowledge and experiences exchanged between each country is the type of information that can be used in future missions,” said Serbian 2nd Lt.

MORÓN AIR BASE, Spain -- Since Oct. 8, a detachment of 100 U.S. Marines and sailors from Special Purpose Marine AirGround Task Force Crisis Response-Africa (SPMAGTF-CR-AF) provided support to Operation United Assistance (OUA), the U.S. response to the Ebola crisis in Liberia. The rapid self-deployment of SPMAGTFCR-AF Marines and sailors by four MV-22 Ospreys and two KC-130J Super Hercules provided a timely, mission-critical airlift capability to the Joint Force supporting OUA. The Marines enabled the Joint Force to reach remote locations that were virtually impossible to access by ground transportation during the rainy season due to washed out roads. Additionally, SPMAGTF-CR-AF also sent a Forward Resuscitative Surgical System detachment, which provided an enhanced surgical capability to support U.S. service-members contributing to OUA. Over the past two months, the Marines conducted over 170 missions, flew over 240 hours, and transported over 1200 passengers and over 78,000 pounds of cargo. SPMAGTF-CR-AF supported OUA until Dec. 1, when they were relieved by U.S. Army aviation assets from the 101st Airborne Division, who assumed the longterm responsibility of support to the OUA mission. Upon completion of their mission, the Marines and sailors shifted focus towards conducting maintenance, washing-down equipment in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, and preparing to move to U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder, Germany, where they will begin their 21day controlled monitoring period. During the 21-day controlled monitoring period, the Marines and sailors will be under the care of trained healthcare professionals, undergoing temperature checks twice daily and being evaluated them for symptoms of Ebola. SPMAGTF-CR-AF is postured to respond to a broad range of military operations in the U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility, including: U.S. Embassy reinforcement, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations, Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP), training with partner nations, and other missions as directed

sandar Obrenovic, a Serbian Armed Forces platoon commander. The training was split into two phases, non-lethal systems and infantry skills. Topics covered included: Vehicle and entry control points, crowd and riot control techniques, the effects of oleoresin capsicum (OC) pepper spray and Tasers, cordon and searches, convoy escorts, combat life
saver, mounted and dismounted patrolling, urban combat and force preservation. “Globalization has us at the point where we need coalition forces to accomplish any task; the more that we train together as coalition forces, the more experience and proficiency we’re going to have forming multinational commands to operate together,” said Reed.
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. -- Military police and working dogs with the Provost Marshal’s Office Kennel participated in aggression training aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., Dec. 1. The training provides handlers with another tool to deter illegal activity or to handle situations that call for necessary action such as keeping a suspect from trying to escape – a dog’s bite to bring a suspect into custody. “Our main focus here is crime prevention,” said Sgt. Jean Villanueva, military working dog trainer with the PMO Kennel. Handlers perform various training every week to keep their working dogs from becoming complacent. On any given day they may train at base housing, search warehouses for training aids carrying drug or explosive scents or perform aggression training with other handlers. Personnel with the kennel aim to match the personality of the dog with that of the handler to ensure a strong, bond. Sicklesteel spends time with his dog, Ralf, every day working, training, feeding and bonding with him. They are a team, and when it comes to aggression training, Ralf can really sink his teeth into his work. Another handler, assisting in training, straps on a padded jacket, or sometimes a sleeve, to protect his or herself and work with the dogs for aggression training. Sicklesteel issues orders to the mock suspect who complies with commands and randomly makes a break for it. After a verbal warning and counting to three, Sicklesteel releases Ralf and the brown German shepherd sprints away to intercept. He sees an opening and chomps down on the mock suspect’s arm with up to 265 to 328 pounds of force. It takes about 160 pounds of pressure to fracture a strong bone. Each day these handlers step into the ring with these dogs to be bitten over and over again during the training.
