Chaplain’s Corner
Chaplains and other helping professionals
Story by Cmdr. William Holiman MCAS Beaufort Command Chaplain On our base there are a great many people here to help personnel and their families. There is, first of all, your chain of command then there are the Military Family Life Counselors, Behavioral Health Counselors, Family Readiness Officers, New Parent Support counselors, the Visiting Nurse from the Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society, twenty other kinds of counselors and social workers of the various agencies on and around the base and finally there is your Chaplain. Everyone wants the people assigned to this base to flourish. But there are differences between the different categories of helpers. Some of us can prescribe drugs, or are specialists in behavior, finances, or family. Chaplains are not specialists in those fields. We can talk about those fields, we are usually trained in some of them, but we are here primarily to help you with your Spiritual Fitness. What is Spiritual Fitness? That is tough to define. Naval Regulations among other things say the commanding officer shall use all proper means to foster high morale, and to develop and strengthen the moral and spiritual well-being
of the personnel under his or her command. Chaplains are provided the necessary logistic support for carrying out the command’s religious programs to provide maximum opportunity for the free exercise of religion by service members. That tells us that the Commanding officer is required to develop and strengthen our moral and spiritual well-being, but does not tell us what that well-being is. The regulations give us the maximum opportunity for the free exercise of religion, but do not give us the content of that religion. The commander wants to strengthen your moral and spiritual well-being. Two of his tools are the Chaplain and the free exercise of religion. They are not the commanders only tools though. They will also use the spiritual resources that the commander finds helpful, and will use all the helping professionals to help develop moral and spiritual well-being. But the CO will use the Chaplain. The Chaplain has tools to help the commander, such as the Spiritual Fitness Guide. The SFG says spirituality may be used generally to refer to that which gives meaning and purpose in life, or to refer to the practice of a philosophy, religion or way of living. The SFG, available at http:// www.navy.mil/docs/SpiritualFitnessGuide.pdf, does not use religious language. Chaplains are
religious, but not all Marines are. We want every Marine to flourish, not just the members of our own faith group. The SFG talks about being engaged in life’s meaning and purpose, being hopeful about the future, making sound moral decisions, being able to forgive ones self and others, and respecting the core values and beliefs of others. The guide moves from green, meaning that the person is positively active in those areas of life, to yellow, orange and finally red. You can guess that the red has answers that show injury in those categories. How do we help with Spiritual Fitness? Well, first and most obvious is we give you the opportunity to worship with likeminded people. Here on the base we have two really wonderful religious communities that worship on Sundays: the Protestant and Catholic communities. Those are real churches with all the things you would expect including baptisms, weddings, communion, preaching, prayer, Bible study, and encouragement. On Saturdays we have a Buddhist community that provides the public and private opportunities to engage in all the practices of Buddhism. Your Chaplains also facilitate for Jewish, Muslim, Atheist/Humanist, Hindu, and Wiccan communities as they engage in practices meaningful to them.

UK pilots and maintainers to arrive in Beaufort
Photo by Lance Cpl. Jonah Lovy
Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 welcomes the first United Kingdom F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Feb. 3. The jet was flown by U.K. Royal Air Force pilot Hugh Nichols, the UK senior national representative from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. Story by: Lance Cpl. Jonah Lovy Staff Writer
Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 is slated to receive more pilots and maintainers from the U.K. in the next few months. The incoming personnel will join their countrymen who are working side by side with Marines on improving their capability with the F-35B Lightning II aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. There are currently 14 U.K. service members at VMFAT-501. The British operators have been in Beaufort since February 2015, when the Royal Air Force flew three F-35s to Fightertown. “Day to day, we do a little bit of everything,”said Squadron Ldr. Hugh Nichols, the U.K. senior national representative with VMFAT-501.“From teaching the new pilots, which is our main focus, to generating a syllabus as we look at new capabilities and roles the F-35 can fill, and how we can teach them to the new pilots.” Expanding their manpower in Beaufort is a step forward for the U.K.’s goal of achieving F-35 capabilities. In 2018, the plan is for U.K.’s F-35 team to achieve initial operating capability in a land-based role and aboard the future HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier in 2020. “The fact that we can operate from VMFAT-501 for the next couple years means we will be ahead of the game when it comes to developing our own capabilities back on U.K. soil come 2018,” said Lieutenant Commander Beth Kitchen, the U.K. senior engineering officer at VMFAT-501. The teamwork between the two nations is crucial to the international aspect of the F-35. No one country is solely responsible for its use so diplomacy is important.
“The concept of us working together is that we will all come out at the end of this with a right way of operating the F-35, as opposed to the Marine Corps or U.K. way, to meet a middle ground,” said Nichols. The international team is fully integrated in the Marine unit, working together to gain proficiency with the brand new jet. Service members will take the knowledge and skills they learn in this training environment and bring it to their operational units. “We are making sure that the aircraft is maintained and the U.K. is able to develop its own engineering maintenance and air competency in order to independently operate the aircraft,” said Kitchen. In addition to the new pilots and maintainers arriving at the air station, the Royal Air Force is currently building their own Pilot Training Center. The U.K. plans to eventually purchase and maintain their own F-35s. “Jets will start to roll off the production line early to midnext year, and will slowly increase until 2018,” said Nichols. The U.K. is planning to continue expanding their capabilities at VMFAT-501 for the next few years. The F-35 is the U.K.’s future maritime strike ground attack fighter aircraft. “I think it’s a huge achievement with how complex the program is, the different services we’ve got, and different languages,” said Nichols. “The fact that we can mesh it all together is outstanding.” With the expanded capabilities of the U.K. and the continued diligence of the Marines, both sides are able to figure out the most sufficient, safe, and tactical ways to operate the F-35.

November is National Native American Heritage Month

November is National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month in the United States. The month celebrates the contributions made by Native Americans to the history and foundation of our nation. Native Americans were the original inhabitants of the U.S. and there is extensive history of early settlements in the Beaufort area. Evidence of Native American culture ranges from the town of Yemassee, to Parris Island and Port Royal. Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island has a history of early Native American settlers and has national landmarks recognizing them aboard the depot. According to historical archives from the Parris Island Museum, early European settlers encountered Native Americans around Parris Island in the 1500s. Shortly after, Jean Ribaut, a French explorer, established a colony named Charlesfort in
the Parris Island - Port Royal area. The French presence was short lived and the colony was taken back and reestablished by the Spanish, calling their colony Santa Elena. In 1576 the town of Santa Elena was burned down by Native Americans. The Spanish returned, and were devoted to attacking and destroying native towns within a 50-mile radius of Port Royal, according to museum archives. Native Americans fought many battles trying to keep their territory and way of life, including major conflicts in Yemassee. In 1942, the Marine Corps began recruiting Native Americans from reserves in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The Native American Marines encoded, transmitted, and decoded a message in 20 seconds which took other radiomen 30 minutes. These Marines became known as the Navajo Code Talkers, for their language and tribe origin. The first deployment of Code Talkers was at Guadalcanal. By the end of the war, over 400 Navajo served in the Marine Corps as Code Talkers. Their code was never broken, and their
A historical landmark stands where the town of Charlesfort once stood aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. The town of Charlesfort was established in 1562 by Jean Ribaut, where it was shortly taken back over by the Spanish. The town was renamed Santa Elena, and was burned down by Native Americans.
service remained classified until 1968 when their achievements were publicly acknowledged as a part of Marine Corps history. A year later all Native Americans were granted citizenship. Nearly 25,000 Native Americans fought in World War II, and of the more than 3,400 Medal of Honors awarded to the nation’s service men and women, 28 of them have been given to Native Americans, according to museum archives. “American Indians and Alaska Natives enrich every aspect of our country, and have helped make America what it is today,” said President Barack Obama in a proclamation for National Native American Heritage month, 2015. The U.S. is made of many cultures and backgrounds. Each plays its role in history and has made America strong. “This month, let us affirm our responsibility to ensure each generation is defined by a greater sense of opportunity than the last, and let us pledge to maintain our strong relationship with tribal nations across America,” said Obama.

Tri-Command, Beaufort gather to honor Veterans Story by: Sgt. Dengrier M. Baez Public Affairs Chief
Tri-Command service members participated in a Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony with members of the community in downtown Beaufort, S.C. Nov. 11. The annual event is held to recognize local veterans and active duty service members. The event goers, wearing red, white and blue, and waving American flags, lined the streets during the parade. Old and young cheered as a color guard, the Parris Island Marine Band, veterans, and active duty service members marched by the crowd. “I love living in Beaufort and getting to see all the ceremonies and events,” said Jill Kelly, a Beaufort resident and daughter of a late Marine. “We really enjoyed the parade today. We’ve been out here all morning watching them go by. It’s especially important to say thank you to veterans today but it’s really every day we should say thanks.” The parade concluded at the Beaufort National Cemetery where a ceremony was held. During the ceremony, the Tri-command leaders and government officials
were introduced followed by a Veterans Day address and a wreath-laying. Col. Peter Buck, the commanding officer for Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Brig. Gen. Terry Williams, the commanding general for Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and Eastern Recruiting Region, and Navy Capt. Anne Lear, the commanding officer for Naval Hospital Beaufort, represented the Tri-Command. “For those of you who are serving, the nation cannot say too many times how much she appreciates what you have done, are doing and continue to do,” said U.S. Army Gen. (ret.) Dan McNeill, a keynote speaker for the event. “Veterans Day is about selfless-service and dedicated service.” The ceremony also included symbols of service members who were prisoners of war and missing in action. A brief medley composed of every service branch’s song, a brief prayer, and military honors concluded the ceremony. “There is no greater feeling in the world than having people come up to you and say thank you,” said Carl Levine, a Beaufort resident and retired Marine. “I could not be more proud of the country that I live in.”

Col. Peter D. Buck welcomes Marines to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball at the Marriot Resort and Spa in Hilton Head, S.C. Nov. 6. Nov. 10 marks the 240th year the Marine Corps has been in existence and Marines will celebrate with birthday balls all over the world. Buck is the commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
The Fallen Marine Table is displayed at the 240th Marine Corps Birthday Ball at the Marriot Resort and Spa in Hilton Head, S.C. Nov. 6. The table honors Marines who have died in combat.

carry our colors into the future. And we extend heartfelt thanks to our families for their steadfast support.” Traditionally, the ball recognizes the youngest and oldest Marines in attendance with a cake cutting ceremony, a symbol of the past and present together. The guest of honor receives the first piece of cake followed by the oldest Marine present. The youngest is passed the third piece. “At a bar in Philadelphia, that’s where we were born,” said Hudson. “When you look at the years since then and what we have done around the world, we have served this country and fought this nation’s battles in every clime and place.”
On Nov. 10, 1775, the Continental Congress formed the Marines to help the Continental Navy conduct shipto-ship fighting, shipboard security and assist in landing forces. Since then, the Marine Corps has marked Nov. 10, 1775 as its official birthday. The first formal birthday ball was celebrated in Philadelphia, 1925, where a memorial plaque was unveiled at Tun Tavern. The tavern is the official birthplace of the Marine Corps since the first Marines were recruited there. Since then the ball has grown to become a hallowed tradition for Marines around the world. “Always at this time of year we look back and remember the birthday of our Corps and those who came be-
fore us whose legacy we try to live up to each and every day,” said Hudson. The ceremony concludes with the retiring of the colors and the playing of Anchors Aweigh and the Marines’ Hymn. “Whether you served on the hallowed grounds of Belleau Wood, fought on the iconic island battle fields of World War II, navigated the harsh terrain and climate of the Chosin Reservoir or Vietnam, conducted assaults during Desert Storm, marched on Bagdad, fought in close combat in Fallujah, or conducted combat operations in Afghanistan, everyone who wears the Eagle Globe and Anchor is a member of that storied legacy,” said Neller.

Muscle memory helps corpsmen save lives By Cpl. Anna Albrecht 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit
AT SEA — Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 15, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, run out of an MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft and set up a perimeter around a simulated blast. Behind them they hear fellow Marines role-playing casualties yelling and screaming for help as the mass casualty team begins identifying patients who need immediate evacuation. As quickly as they can, they separate the patients into different categories depending on the severity of their injuries. The Marines in critical condition are put on litters and brought to the Osprey to get further help. The corpsmen work between three to four patients, intervening when necessary. The corpsmen gather the rest of the simulated patients in a stable condition and the mass casualty drill ends. Sailors and Marines routinely conduct drills like this to stay quick on their feet should something like this occur to be able to save as many people as possible. “A mass casualty drill gets us ready to encounter any type of civilian or military mass casualty,” said U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Oswaldo Hernandez, the leading CPO of CLB 15’s medical team. “It allows us to see where we’re at and how efficient we are at expediting the patients’ care.” The corpsmen do their best to simulate an actual mass casualty and implement different types of distractions to imitate the “fog of war” that comes with it. “Our goal, as soon as we get to the scene, is to get the first bird back up with the immediate or delayed patients to get them back to the ship,” said Hernandez. “I try to raise my voice and give them orders, then give them different orders that contradict and see which ones they react to. I also have other corpsmen yell back and forth so they’re able to pick and choose who that conversation is going to and who’s directing that order. You can’t simulate that fog of war but you can definitely increase that confusion by having external people involved.” The security element and the four corpsmen on the initial response team are the first to arrive at the scene. The security element provides security around the site while the corpsmen section off the mass casualty and take care of all the patients. “The job for the mass casualty team, especially for the initial response team, is to get the people who can walk out of the way first, so we can start triaging; finding the most criti-
cal patient that needs to be brought up so we can start stabilizing them,” said Hernandez. They triage the patients and begin assessing what category they need to be in; such as immediate, those who are in critical condition, or minimal, the “walking wounded” patients. During the drills, the patients have simulated injuries that the corpsmen are expected to identify and treat as needed. They use makeup and fake blood to simulate these injuries and make the corpsmen familiar with working with a wet environment. “It’s difficult to simulate some of these injuries, because a lot of them can be internal, which allows vital signs to decompensate or give us different readings,” said Hernandez. “We try to simulate as much as possible and try to hide several injuries because our corpsmen are trained to do secondary assessments to discover them. Usually the first injury you see is not the most critical; there’s usually something internal that can take a person’s life away faster than a broken femur, or whatever the case may be.” The corpsmen with CLB-15 try to do these drills often to keep improving their skills. “Practices can change within a month, depending on after-actions and deciding what does and doesn’t work well,” said Hernandez. “We try to implement those changes and see what works out best.” These drills are essential for the mass casualty team to stay current in their skills and be able to automatically react to any situation at hand. “With anything, you have to rehearse consistently to have the muscle memory; that quick, initial reaction,” said Hernandez. “I think under stressful situations, it’s human nature to kind of get that narrow, [tunnel vision]. Even with that, your muscle memory and consistent training automatically kicks in and you start doing things, amazingly without even thinking about it because you’ve been training. [These drills] allow these guys to kind of see where their skills are lacking or where they could have done something different.” Besides the mass casualty drills, the corpsmen train to fine-tune their skills and find the best strategies to deal with patients. “We do a lot of our own kind of [tactical combat casualty care],” said Hernandez. “One of us will volunteer to be a patient and we will give [the corpsman] the injury, like, ‘this person just got a gunshot wound, he was involved in a fire-fight, start your treatment.’

They have to open up their med bags, we give them training supplies, but they have to point at what they would use.” The corpsmen are evaluated by their ER nurse and doctor and are asked to verbalize what they are doing, step-by-step. Along with these drills they have classes on combat and wound management and then implement that into their training. This training keeps the corpsmen prepared for any
type of situation that arises. “The end-state is to be ready to go and be able to react to any situation,” said Hernandez. “Especially during a mass casualty, people are going to be yelling there will be blood and a lot of confusion. I try to teach these guys to just zone out the confusion and do their job and if they can’t, let their muscle memory take over.”
