Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 112 participated in the Expeditionary Warfare Training Group, Atlantic exercises aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Aug. 17-21.

Expeditionary Warfare Training Group, Atlantic assigns training missions to the operating forces to ensure they meet the requirements of other US military units and allied components whose mission involves operating with ground forces.

“Part of the mission of Marine Corps Forces Reserve is to augment and support the active component, and that is exactly what we’re doing here,” said Maj. Andrew Kelemen, the aircraft maintenance officer for VMFA-112, Marine Aircraft Group 41. “We are supporting the squadrons here by reduc-

ing the number of EWTGLANT missions they are assigned, so they can focus on other tasks and requirements they need to accomplish.”

Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 112 is the only reserve Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet squadron. VMFA-112 is based out of Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas.

“Being here allows us to keep our standards and readiness up to par,” said Kelemen. “Before we left Texas, we had to conduct the logistics needed to bring our squadron from one place to another, just like we would during expeditionary operations.

“We also had the pleasure of working alongside other F-18 squadrons and attaining certifications we normally don’t have the opportunity to get being the only F-18 squadron aboard Fort Worth,” said Kelemen. “Working aboard the air station has provided the opsee

August 24, 1814: Capt. Samuel Miller’s 100-man detachment from Marine Barracks, Washington, fought in the Battle of Bladensburg for the defense of the nation’s capital. After helping to fight back three British charges, Miller was wounded and the enemy began to work around both flanks of the American force. Almost encircled, the force of sailors and Marines were forced to retire to avoid capture. There were eight Marines killed and 14 wounded.

Chaplain’s Corner

Flexing our faith muscles

Story by: Cmdr. Scott Blair MAG-31 Group Chaplain I recently found myself in a tough place.

My wife, children and I went “back home” to visit my parents and extended family. While this sounds like good opportunity to see the people you love (and it was) I also discovered that there were some pitfalls waiting for me.

There are some experiences I had in childhood that were painful and some of those painful memories were triggered on this visit. Those memories are really no different, not worse or traumatic than most people’s experiences.

Comparisons are not helpful because someone else always has it worse than you. They’re just mine to deal with. I returned to Beaufort kind of reeling. I was trying to rebound and find some inspiration to help me deal with my memories and pain and ultimately help me make some meaning so that I could go back home in the future. I know I will return and I know the triggers will be waiting again to open up old wounds.

Then it hit me yesterday in the middle of church service. The pastor was praying aloud and my 7 year old son was laying his head on my legs. As I put my hand on his head praying for him I realized how I made it through those tough times that caused me pain. And

while I remembered the pain again in that very that moment I also recalled how I used prayer to cope, I used the support of friends, music that spoke to me. I used scriptures that gave me reassurance and I believed God was with me even though it hurt. Those experiences helped to shape my faith. Remembering this gave me comfort because I know I can do it again.

On this same trip back home I took my kids to an indoor trampoline facility. There were several obstacle courses and other implements to maneuver. I had not even been on a trampoline in 20 years. It was fun but exhausting and later I uttered the phrase about using muscles I had not used in years or using muscles I didn’t know that I had. I think we could say the same thing about faith. If you are not aware, faith can be defined in various ways based on your own tradition. I like to think of it as a belief I have in God, a trust in someone I cannot see, someone greater than me who cares about me wants the best for me. I believe for no good reason except that I believe. I have never experienced what many consider to be miracles, like those we see in movies. And in many cases I believe in God because I have a track record of trust with God. I have trusted God in the past and it paid off. This is how I define miracles, not Hollywood’s version.

I needed to be reminded this week of my faith muscles I had not used in a while. I feel sore from using them but I know I will be better off and more resilient in the end. Athletes develop muscle memory within their particular sport. A baseball player will spend countless hours in the batting cage and will develop muscle memory for their swings. They will swing and know if it was correct or not just by feel. I believe our faith can work the same way. Life is not always comfortable but there is comfort in knowing God is with you during your times of growth.

Our faith needs to develop and grow.

And to do this it needs to be stretched and exercised. My faith-muscles were certainly stretched and exercised this past week. And now as a father and religious leader of others my faith is better informed to exercise it differently. I want to use this space to encourage you to think intentionally about your faith in the same way you do about your physical activity and fitness. Be intentional and faithfilled activities. Do things that nourish and stretch your faith. Pray with intention and be quiet with your God. Read your scriptures and engage a friend in important topics. Join a group and participate in worship. Your faith will be worked and stretched, and you may be sore because it’s been a while since you used them. But you will be stronger in the end.

Hunting season officially opens aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Sept. 15. Approved game to hunt includes deer, squirrel, rabbits and raccoons. Hunters are not permitted to hunt game birds such as turkeys, doves or ducks.

Hunting continued from page 1

Marines must ensure they have the proper permissions from the state before saddling up for a hunt.

“Hunters must also have a valid South Carolina hunting license which includes a big game permit,” said Martin.

Not all weapons are permitted aboard the air station. The only approved weapons are shotguns and bows. Rifles, black powder guns, crossbows, nets, snares, or bait poisons are prohibited.

“I can understand why the command would want to keep some weapons off the base,” said Jantz. “It would be bad if every-

one was running around with high powered rifles near the facilities we have here.”

The restrictions allow the Natural Resources personnel to monitor all the gunfire on base and keep Marines and facilities safe.

“Hunters wishing to receive a permit must present proof of registration for their hunting weapons from the Provost Marshall Office and Pass and ID,” said Martin.

In addition to deer hunting opportunities to hunt squirrels, rabbits and raccoons also exist.

Open season for these game animals is in accordance with state regulations. Hunters are not permitted to hunt game birds such as turkeys, doves or ducks.

Lance Cpl. Courtney White

Deer season runs from Sept. 15. Harvest limits are set by the Air Station’s game warden and are in accordance with state regulations.

in the annual event to give pilots valuable experience flying alongside a large number of aircraft and simulating large scale joint missions.

“I flew a red air mission simulating enemy aircraft in a large force exercise,” said Pfeifer. “It was a joint exercise with Air Force and Marine Corps assets.”

A total force of 1,400 air warfighters are training off the coast of Savannah and performing bombing runs at the Townsend Bombing Range throughout the exercise. Each available squadron aboard Fightertown will send a detachment of jets in the coming weeks.

“Most of the squadrons aboard MCAS Beaufort right now, such as VMFA-115,

VMFA(AW)-224 and VMFA(AW)-533, all participate in the exercise flying various roles,” said Pfeifer.

Marines may be required to coordinate with the Air Force, Army, and Air National Guard in a time of war. This exercise puts a huge emphasis on teamwork regardless of the branch of service.

“The exercise is preparing us for a battlefield environment where we would have to work with the other services to accomplish a mission,” said Pfeifer. “It’s an exercise that helps us work on interoperability among our fellow branches.”

Working with other branches gives Marines the opportunity to improve their skills as pilots by learning techniques and

maneuvers from their fellow servicemen.

Every branch has a unique way of conducting missions that Marines can learn from. “We were the only Marines there and we rarely get to integrate with other branches,” said Capt. Nathaniel Griggs, a pilot with Marine Aviation Training Support Squadron. “They all wanted to know how we do things and we wanted to know how they do things.”

This is the second year the Savannah Combat Readiness Training Center has hosted the exercise and they plan to continue facilitating Sentry Savannah in the future. Squadrons aboard MCAS Beaufort train constantly to prepare themselves to be effective in a deployed environment.

US Marines aid Saipan with typhoon relief efforts Story and photos by: Cpl. Ryan Mains 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit

Marines unload gear from a MV-22B Osprey as a part of a typhoon relief mission in Saipan Aug. 12. The Marines flew emergency relief supplies into Saipan to assist with typhoon relief efforts. The Marines and sailors of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit were conducting training near the Mariana Islands when they were redirected to Saipan after the island was struck by Typhoon Soudelor Aug. 2-3. The Marines and the Osprey are assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), 31st MEU.

Lance Cpl. Riley Remoket, fills a water bull at a water distribution site during typhoon relief efforts in Saipan Aug. 19. The Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit assisted the locals of Saipan by producing and distributing potable water.

The Marines and sailors of the 31st MEU were conducting training near the Mariana Islands when they were redirected to Saipan after the island was struck by Typhoon Soudelor Aug. 2-3. Riley is a Marine with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st MEU.

SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands — The western North Pacific has historically been one of the most active tropical cyclone areas in the world. Year after year, tropical storms devastate the many islands in the Pacific. In early August, Typhoon Soudelor, the most powerful storm of the year, rocked across the Pacific before finally blowing itself out over China. The first place the typhoon hit was the small island of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, Aug. 2-3.

Marines and sailors with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group were conducting training in the vicinity of the Mariana Islands at the time the typhoon hit. Within two days, they had been redirected to Saipan to assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as well as other local and federal agencies, with the typhoon relief efforts.

U.S. Marines with Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, and Combat Logistics Battalion 31, both with the 31st MEU, arrived Aug. 7, and immediately set to work distributing emergency relief supplies.

“Working with the Marines was great,” said Marvin K. Seman, Saipan’s Special Assistant for Homeland Security and Emergency Management. “It was all about efficiency and accomplishing the task. It is a lot better today as a result. We are getting to a point where the response is now turning to recovery.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel.”

With potable water being in short supply, and the primary need of the people of Saipan, the Marines and sailors began to immediately distribute water purified aboard the Ashland. Within days, they were able to set up their own purification equipment ashore and ramp up water production and distribution.

“We established our Light Weight Water Purification system and our Tactical Water Purification System, and after we had enough water accumulated, we started pushing water out to three different distribution points with 3,000 gallon bladders,” said Maj. Joseph Montedoro, the executive officer for CLB 31 and the officer in charge of the 31st MEU’s Humanitarian Assistance Survey Team.

As of Aug. 20, the Marines had distributed more than 285,700 gallons of potable water, 215,075 gallons of which were purified by the Marines, according to Montedoro, a native of Bradley Beach, N.J. The MEU has also delivered more than 19,000 gallons of water and 47,000 individual meals provided

by FEMA, and distributed 10,000 pounds of emergency supplies provided by the Red Cross.

Although the days have been long and full of hard labor, the Marines continue to aid the locals in any way possible.

“We have provided water to at least 600 people (at one site) in the past few days,” said Sgt. Theron Nez, a water technician with CLB 31, 31st MEU. “It just makes me happy to see all of their smiling faces and to hear them say how much they appreciate our help.”

The Marines, alongside FEMA, have done what they can to help the locals recover from the damage the typhoon caused, and are continuing their mission to aid the people of Saipan during their time of need.

“Our mission when we came to shore was to produce and distribute water. Debris clearance became a secondary mission and I would say we have completed both of those tasks,” said Montedoro. “The conditions in which the Marines are working in are extremely hot during the day, but the Marines are out there every day busting their humps to help the local community in getting back on their feet and provide whatever relief to the locals that we can.”

FALLBROOK, Calif. — Marines are known for and take pride in the fact that they unwaveringly protect each other, against any and all odds. It’s called protecting our own. Marines will hold onto this as long as they live, and with the help of a grateful nation, amazing things can be accomplished.

In 2011 Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, an explosive ordnance disposal technician, stepped on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan. Ross was critically wounded and suffered major tissue and bone damage that cost him his legs. He was given less than a 2 percent chance of survival.

Ross says many people tell him he’s lucky to be alive, but he insists it’s more than luck.

“I don’t really count my blessings so much, but I just chalk it up to ‘I was too stubborn,’” said Ross. “I didn’t like the odds… and the reason why I didn’t punch out is because I’ve got two kids and I’ve got to be there for them and the other wounded warriors.”

After enduring nearly 240 surgeries, Ross beat those odds and has come to a new chapter in his life, moving on from recovery to living a normal life with his two little girls, Jackie, 4 and Stacie, 6.

Due to his injuries, simple things like reaching a cabinet or getting out of bed became a serious challenge; but a group of people dedicated to helping America’s veterans tackled Ross’ struggle with great force.

The Gary Sinise Foundation and their Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment program, in partnership with many generous contributors, built Ross and his family a house in Fallbrook, Calif., and formally dedicated it to the Ross family Aug. 21. Their new smart home is capable of turning these challenges into routine tasks for Ross.

Founded in 2011, The Gary Sinise Foundation and their partners are responsible for building at least 26 new homes for disabled veterans through their R.I.S.E. program. The foundation extends its attention to America’s active duty military, veterans, first responders and the families and caregivers that support them. They host several unique programs to help as many of the nation’s heroes as possible.

The new Ross family home features smart technology that allows someone to control things such as lighting, television or stereo, air conditioning and heat and even security cameras around the house all from a mobile tablet or smartphone. The cabinets are lowered and on a rail system, allowing Ross to reach and pull them down from his wheelchair. Ross loves to cook, so the microwave, refrigerator and stove are all placed conveniently within his reach.

“I like to cook and the biggest challenges I’ve had with other houses is that kitchens are not set up for someone in a wheelchair,” said Ross. “Here, in the kitchen I can move around and utilize the shelves.”

Jason’s mother Linda Ross said the new house has more than just kitchen features that make everyday life more comfortable for her son.

“He can’t regulate his body temperature normally anymore so we have to keep it very cold in here,” said Linda.

She went on to describe her granddaughters’ relationship with their father and how their new home will make that even stronger.

“They love their daddy,” said Linda. “Anytime they’re around daddy they are always excited and the added space in here will help Jason to do more with them.”

Ross said he’s glad to have a place he can finally settle down. His years in the Marine Corps caused the family to

Aug.21. Ross was injured by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2011 while serving as an explosive ordnance disposal technician and lost both of his legs as a result. The new home has smart technology that will significantly reduce the difficulty of everyday tasks for Ross and allow him and his family to live more comfortably. The Marines are from 1st Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company, 1st Marine Logistics Group.

move from house to house every couple of years.

“I was in the Marines for 13 years, and on average I was moving around every four years. What this means for us is we get to break that trend,” said Ross. “It’s great for my kids because they’ve always had to share a room and they’re super excited to have their own rooms now.”

Jason said he’s excited to move forward with his new

home and hopefully it will ease the burden his family has carried the past few years.

“It’s been a long road to get here but the journey’s over, I can finally take a step back and take a breather,” said Ross.

He said with relief that he has only one big task left at the moment: unpacking.
