Marines and civilians with Aircraft Rescue & Firefighting, Marine Wing Support Squadron 273, and Air Station fuels and the Natural Resources Environmental Affairs Office completed a week-long Facility Response Team course July 14-17.

The intent of the exercise was to increase proficiency in nautical spill response procedures aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

The course instructed Marines on how to evaluate environmental and nautical conditions and tactics in order to quickly respond to an oil spill in the waterways leading to the Air Station.

“It’s a five-day class to requalify and qualify as Facility Response Team responders,” said Billy Drawdy, the natural resources and environmental affairs officer for NREAO. “They gain the basic knowledge to respond to a spill properly, and the information and training that is specific to Beaufort.”

Students learned how to properly execute a spill contingensee

Lt. Col. Brian W. Foster relinquished command of Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron to Lt. Col. Douglas A. Seich during a change of command ceremony on the flight line aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, July 16.

“My mother taught me at a very young age that only my best was good enough, and that has taken me very far,” said Foster. “Marines, I can’t thank you enough for everything that you do, not only for the squadron, but for the Corps and this country.”

Foster began his Marine Corps Ca-

reer in 1993, when he was commissioned as a second lieutenant.

Foster went on his first deployment as a captain in 2000 in support of the Unit Deployment Program. Three years later he deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as the Battalion Operations Officer.

Foster has served as the Marine Corps’ representative for the Royal Canadian Air Force in 2005. In 2010, Foster deployed to Bahrain and served as the Team Lead for the 707th Regional Afghan Uniform Police Team. In June 2013, Foster took command of H&HS, and will now be moving on to take his leadership skills to the next level.

“The squadron is in good hands,” said Foster to Siech, “and if you take

care of the Marines, they will take care of you.”

Seich enlisted into the Marine Corps, and graduated from Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in 1992. After serving two years as an enlisted Marine, he attended the U.S. Naval Academy and was commissioned as a second lieutenant upon graduation.

Seich has deployed to Iwakuni, Japan as part of the Unit Deployment Program, and flew in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Phantom Fury.

In 2007, Seich attended the Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course, and has served as an F/A-18 instructor and see

July 24, 1944: The V Amphibious Corps, commanded by Major General Harry Schmidt, landed on Tinian, in the Mariana Islands. The following morning, the 2nd and 4th Marine Divisions began a shoulderto-shoulder southward sweep of the island. Organized enemy resistance faded within a week, and on Aug. 1, Maj. Gen. Schmidt declared the island secure.

Chaplain’s Corner

Our Messy Prayer Lives

Story by Cmdr. Joseph Blair Group Chaplain MAG-31

Sometimes there is a theme for the week within our lives, an idea that seems to come to the surface that we cannot hide from. It’s a commonality that seems to run through our work, readings, social media captions and relationships. The need for prayer has bubbled to the surface for me following the tragedies in Charleston, the divisions created over the decisions of the Supreme Court, and other anxieties in society and our military including the most recent tragedy in my home town of Chattanooga. I feel the need for prayer in my own life more and know that others feel it too.

I see a rise in feelings of helplessness to address the issues and stressors that face us. The problems of the world seem so big and powerful. I feel it in my physical body, and have an intuitive drawing of my spirit to posture myself in a quiet place and listen.

I am discovering as I talk to people who are in and around the military lifestyle that many do not know how to pray, or they feel unworthy to come before their God. The wise writer, Richard J. Foster wrote in his book, Prayer: Finding the Heart’s True Home, “The truth of the matter is, we all come to prayer with a

tangled mass of motives-altruistic and selfish, merciful and hateful, loving and bitter. We do not have to be bright, or pure or filled with faith or anything. That is what grace means.”

Foster’s words are true. There are some who grow up in an environment of a faith community, hearing the polished prayers of adults who seem to carry such authority in their words and humility in their posture. They have no trouble speaking. They are unabashed, unashamed and without fear. I receive many opportunities to pray at military ceremonies and will write them out most of the time so that my words may flow easily. However in my own prayer life and in my private moments, my prayers are choppy, filled with emotion, messy and expressions I would never want to be heard before anyone, especially a military ceremony.

Sometimes I don’t feel like praying. I get busy or out of the habit. The best models for prayer are those who do it first thing in the morning. They make time in their days and the habit becomes as natural as brushing their teeth and pouring their first cup of coffee. I will admit that I fail in this area but I’m working on it. This is the discipline that prayer must become in my life. I must do it even when I do not feel like it. I must continue to believe that my prayers can change things. The first change will undoubtedly begin in me.

Prayer is good for us. It is as needed as the daily nourishment our bodies need in healthy foods. Our Lowcountry summer has been hot and we are encouraged to drink more water in order to properly hydrate our bodies. Our souls too can become dehydrated without the proper nourishment. Prayer is one way to water the soil of our souls that they may grow.

How to pray: There are thousands of books and opinions about how to pray. If you know of one that works for you already within your own faith tradition, I encourage you to practice and make it your discipline; however, if you find yourself struggling with what to say try the ACTS method.

Adoration.-Give your God praise and adoration for being God in your life and the impacts made. Confession-Confession of our faults and sins is healthy. Admission to our shortcomings helps us learn from our mistakes so that we can make changes. Confession will allow humble acceptance of help to come from God in these areas we know we could and should do better.

Thanksgiving-Be thankful for the generosity God has shown to you: for your health, family, possessions, freedom, your nation and God’s creation around you. Supplication- Pray for the needs of those around you. Pray for our nation, for our leaders, those in political office even you do not agree with them.

“The air station is a unique setting,” said Drawdy. “It handles a lot of fuel surrounded by a pristine environment so whenever there’s a threat, a facility response team is trained up and ready to go. You learn to take responsibility for spills that may occur at your facility and do what you can for immediate and effective cleanup.”

The skimmer, a boat equipped with an oil recovery system, helps filter oil contamination in the water and is one of many assets in the air station’s arsenal for protecting the waterways.

“Part of the Marine Corps’ mission is to not leave a big footprint,” said Drawdy. “You need to have some people trained and ready to respond because this area is pristine and needs to be protected.”

Due to their expertise in protecting the environment and responding to critical situations, a majority of the course was occupied by Marines with the air station’s ARFF section.

According to the air station’s fuel division, the primary method of fuel delivery for the air station is via barge over the waterways, making the training not only essential but proactive to any possible oil spill emergency situation.

60th annual Beaufort Water Festival entertains through weekend Story and Photos by: Lance Cpl. Samantha K. Torres Staff writer

The 60th annual Beaufort Water Festival is taking place at Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort, July 17- 26.

The opening ceremony included a moment of silence for the fallen service members of the Chattanooga, Tenn. tragedy, entertainment from the Parris Island Marine Band, and fireworks to conclude the night.

Each night has a different genre of music, along with family friendly activities for everyone to enjoy.

“The 60th annual Beaufort Water Festival is one of the largest festivals in the state of South Carolina,” said Dave Helmer, the productions director of the festival.

The festival has held everything from military appreciation night, Motown Monday, and Time Warp Tuesday, to name a few.

“It’s completely volunteer run. People give their time, energy, heart, and soul to the event, not just for Beaufort, but for the entire Lowcountry,” said Helmer.

People of all ages volunteered at the event, from working the booths to setting up tents at midnight to prepare for the next day’s events.

At the start of the festival, Bill Damude was named the Commodore of this year’s Beaufort Water Festival.

“On behalf of the 60th annual Water Festival, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our many loyal sponsors who have been a part of the festival for many years, as well as all of our loyal volunteers without whom the annual Water Festival would not be possible,” said Damude.

“I’ve been here for about five years, and I look forward to it every year,” said Helmer. “Great people, great band, great music, great city.”

Marines, community band together

The community showed its support to the Marines and sailor killed by a gunman in Chattanooga, Tenn. July, 16. Hundreds of flags and other memorabilia were placed at the Reserve Office and Navy Operational Support Center and Marine Corps Reserve Center to honor the fallen military members.

Story By: Courtesy Story

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - As the morning sun began to rise on the Chickamauga National Military Park, the Marines and sailors of Battery M, 3rd Battalion, 14th Marine Regiment, assembled on the hallowed grounds of this hotly contested Civil War battlefield to reflect and to bond.

Better known as Mike Battery, members of the unit saw the hike symbolically as the first steps toward healing, getting back to the mission, and showing the world that the recent attack on their unit had made them stronger.

On July 16, the Marines of Mike Battery were conducting maintenance and accountability of gear following their recently completed Annual Training Exercise at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Training Center Twentynine Palms, Calif. At approximately 11:20 a.m., a lone gunman crashed the entry control point of the Naval Operational Support Center and Marine Corps Reserve Center, in Chattanooga, Tenn., and proceeded to open fire throughout the compound, killing five service members.

It was a defining moment for the men and women present. While the nation re-

flected with shock and outrage in the aftermath of this unimaginable tragedy, the Marines and sailors of “Pale Horse,” a name given to the battery during its participation in the battle of Fallujah in 2004, had already begun to heal.

The idea to bring the battery to the Chickamauga battlefield was that of Col. Joe Russo, the commanding officer of 14th Marine Regiment.

According to Russo, as he drove to Chattanooga from the Atlanta airport in the immediate aftermath of the attack, foremost in his mind was to care for the families of the fallen, and the esprit and mindset of the Marines and Sailors of the battery.

“I passed the National Military Park sign on the highway and it just jumped out at me that we needed something unique, something special that would rally the men and women of this battery,” said Russo.

The National Park Service offered the expertise of its senior tour guide, and the battery conducted a three-hour hiking tour of the surrounding battlefields. It provided an opportunity for the Marines and sailors of the battery to think and reflect about the valor and sacrifice which

occurred there over 150 years ago, and to contemplate their own experiences. The impact was both inspiring and bonding.

The hike ended at the culminating point of the battle on Horseshoe Ridge, a landmark which saw intense hand-tohand fighting. A single granite monument slammed the past into the present – etched on the face of the stark memorial the words “Battery M” stood out in relief. In surreal correlation to the attack just days prior, the monument honored four fallen artillerymen of Shultz’s Battery M, 14th Union Corps.

The symbolism was not lost on the men and women of the present day Mike Battery. At the monument, the Marines paused to honor their own fallen brothers with a moment of silence and a pledge that they would never forget their sacrifices.

“We all wanted to protect our own last week, so the heroic acts that took place were truly selfless; we all wanted to go back in for a lot of reasons -- we don’t leave anyone behind, whether killed or wounded,” said Cpl. Matthew Hampton, a Reserve motor transport chief, with Battery M. “The drive to go back in there is instilled in all of us.”

Other Marines noted that the act of conducting a unit event like a battlefield hike represented a mutual desire for Mike Battery Marines and Sailors to get back to their mission.

“We really want to get back to work for our fallen brothers,” said Lance Cpl. David Jeswald, a motor transport mechanic in the battery. “We want to uphold what those we lost represent, stay strong and not let them down.”

Sgt. Amanda Vincent, an administrative specialist with Battery M searched for the silver lining in a tragic situation.

“Whatever comes out of this, we are all going to become stronger and closer because of it,” said Vincent.

As the Marines and sailors of Battery M, 3rd Battalion, 14th Marine Regiment, assembled on the grassy fields of Chickamauga, a sense of mission, purpose, and pride in the valor of their fallen brothers bridged a century and a half of history. The Marines and sailors of Mike Battery made it clear that they were moving forward and that the legacy of the events of July 16, would be that of honor, selfless courage, and the strengthening of a proud battery of tested and proven Marines.

NOVO SELO TRAINING AREA, Bulgaria – Marines and sailors with 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, Black Sea Rotational Force spent two weeks alongside soldiers from Bulgaria, Albania, the United Kingdom and Romania during Platinum Lion 15-3, a multi-national NATO training exercise at Novo Selo Training Area, Bulgaria July 18.

Service members were placed in groups with their international counterparts and rotated through stations covering a multitude of skills, to include call for fire, weapons handling, urban patrolling and cordon and search.

During the last week, the culminating event consisted of a three-day live-fire platoon attack exercise that was designed to provide a challenging and realistic training scenario.

“We spent the last two weeks living together building relationships,” said Capt.

Michael R. McNicoll, the commanding officer for 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment.

“That to me is mission accomplishment and

the main focus of what we came here to do.”

The international pairings lasted throughout the training evolution, which led to partnerships that went beyond the training events.

“At the beginning, we started as five different nations,” said Bulgarian Army Capt.

Penio Todoranov, a company commander with the 61st Mechanized Brigade. “Now we are five nations working together as a team.”

After the final exercise, Platinum Lion 15-3 included a distinguished visitors day that included Emma Hopkins, the United Kingdom’s Ambassador to Bulgaria, Nikoley Nenchev , the Minister of Defense of Bulgaria, and Qirjako Kureta, the Albanian Ambassador to Bulgaria. These guests witnessed a Bulgarian live-fire attack and a weapons static display presented by each nation.

The next day, Platinum Lion 15-3 ended with a day-long athletic event between the services to promote friendly competition.

After, the Marines and allies had lunch, solidifying friendships that grew that week.

“This was truly a successful exercise and everyone played an important role,” said McNicoll.

Marines and sailors conducted low-level static-line parachute operations with intentional water landings to make insertions, where other means such as boats or highaltitude parachute jumps may not be available. The Marines and sailors are with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Marines and sailors with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, performed parachute jumps into the Pacific Ocean at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, July 14-15, 2015.

The Marines and sailors conducted low-level parachute operations with intentional water landings to make insertions, where other means such as boats or high-altitude parachute jumps may not be available.

“Sometimes we don’t want to risk the ships coming too close to shore to launch the combat rubber raiding craft so at times we’ll execute low-level ops from a C-130 Hercules or MV-22 Osprey to get swimmers in a position where they can conduct that surface movement,” said Capt. Steven Uziel, the assistant operations officer for the battalion.

The training takes place in step by step increments. Once a Marine or sailor completes a jump without extra gear, referred to as slick, they then deploy into the ocean with gear and CRRCs. “This is the first part of the sustainment training so they’ll be current and get equipment like boats that they’ll actually utilize in an actual tactical scenario to travel to their objectives,” said Gunnery Sgt. Gabriel Machado, a parachute safety officer with the battalion.

It prepares the Marines for a full-mission exercise with boats for the culminating event, said Uziel. Marines intentionally parachuting from aircraft into the ocean is a rarity in the training schedule.

“It puts the parachutes down for a long time for maintenance afterward,” stated Uziel. “Those parachutes will be back up in about a month because they have to be fresh water rinsed, dried and re-inspected.”

For the Marines with the battalion, it’s just another day in the office.

“Like a lot of things, it’s inherently dangerous, but the professionalism of the jumpers and jump masters is what makes it work,” said Uziel.

U.S. Marines, Ghanaian Soldiers refine infantry skills Story by: Staff Sgt. Steve Cushman Marine Corps Forces Europe

NAVAL AIR STATION SIGONELLA, Italy – A team of approximately 15 U.S. Marines and sailors assigned to Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa trained with the Ghana Army near Accra, Ghana June 15-July 10.

More than 40 Ghanaian infantrymen participate in United Nations peacekeeping operations. These operations require the Ghanaian service members to be proficient in infantry skills—something the U.S. Marines know well.

Focusing on light infantry skills, the Marines worked with their Ghanaian partners to refine the force’s capacity to provide security to a large area with challenging terrain. The training will also help expand the host force’s ability to operate from established border outposts.

“Our mission is to train with a unit comprised of Ghanaian Army infantry and military police soldiers to improve the Army’s capability to assist in securing the country’s borders,” said 1st Lt. Nathanial Kaine, the officer in charge of the team assigned to the SPMAGTF-CR-AF. “We’re hoping to help refine their current practices and instill in the trainees the Marine Corps’ concept of ‘brilliance in the basics.”

The training engagement emphasized fundamental infantry skills as a way for the Marines and Ghanaians to establish a working relationship. The skills focused around patrolling, and included land navigation and combat medical care instruction.

“There are many similarities between our training and the Ghanaian Army. Our instruction compliments theirs and gives them additional tools to use,” said Staff Sgt. Fredrick Volz, the senior enlisted leader for the team assigned to the SPMAGTF-CR-AF. “While their tactics for fire and movement are very similar to ours, they are not mirrored. Some of the considerations we use have been received very well and seems to be modifying their own tactics.”

Sharing infantry experience benefited the Marines and sailors as much as the Ghanaian soldiers. The respect shared by both parties led to tighter bonds professionally and personally.

“During our time operating with our Ghanaian comrades, we learned from each other covering our different tactics and ways of operating as infantrymen,” said Seaman Richard Lucero, a hospital corpsman with SPMAGTFCR-AF. “After understanding the different traditions and history of training and their personal ways of maintaining discipline; I realize we are much alike and we have mutual respect for each other and our goals of ensuring a strong, lasting relationship.”

Fire and Fury; 2nd CEB, 1/8 conduct urban breaching techniques to prepare for upcoming deployment Story and Photos by: Cpl. Shawn Valosin II Marine Expeditionary Force

The demolition package was conducted in preparation for an upcoming deployment, where the two units will be working together in support of Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response- Africa. The Marines are with 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion and 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – Marines with 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion and 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment participated in an urban demolitions range at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C. July 10.

The range was the fourth and final day of a demolitions training package being conducted in preparation for an upcoming deployment to Special-Purpose Marine AirGround Task Force Crisis Response-Africa that the units will be partnered on.

“If we’re in combat trying to enter a house or compound with doors, windows, walls, etc., we can breach explosively, creating shock and awe for the enemy on the inside, then we can move our forces in,” said 1st Lt. Connor McCubrey, a platoon commander with 2nd CEB. The teams first assembled charges for various applications, including windows, doorways, walls and fences. Once the charges were assembled, instructors with 2nd CEB inspected them to ensure they were assembled correctly and that participants would be safe when they were detonated.

After the charges were approved, three teams of Marines sprinted to a wall where windows, doorways and other obstacles were staged for the teams to breach through.

Once a charge was set, the entire team crouched behind one another, with the front man holding a protective blanket up to shield them from the blast and flying debris.

The range also gave senior Marines a chance to work with those fresh out of their military occupational specialty school, and allowed them to demonstrate how to execute urban breaches.

“We have a lot of new Marines who just came from engineer school,” said Cpl. Romelo Tolentino, a combat engineer with the battalion. “At MOS school they don’t teach urban demolitions, so these new Marines don’t have hands-on experience, which can be very dangerous in a close environment like this.”

At the conclusion of the range, the Marines cleared the area of all debris and ordnance, ensuring that this tradition of training safely with explosive materials can continue.

“During the upcoming deployment, Marines must be prepared to respond to any number of situations and execute a wide range of missions, from reinforcing an embassy to participating in multilateral exercises and offering instruction through small team security cooperation,” said McCubrey.

“The demo package we completed is simply one piece of what we can offer to the infantry, but plays into our overall mission of providing both mobility and countermobility to the supported units.”
