Tobacco cessation promotes healthy living Story by: Lance Cpl. Samantha K. Torres Staff Writer

It is the responsibility of the Marines and Sailors to care for themselves and each other to maintain good health and a professional appearance for mission readiness. Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort order 6200.2 states the dangers of tobacco use, and the benefits of prevention and cessation programs. The order also informs personnel about designated and off-limit smoking areas aboard the air station.

Keep safety hazards away from your holiday season

“From the health standpoint, it’s a horrible thing,” said Kathy Williams, the health promotion coordinator of Marine Corps Community Services. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death, and can lead to diseases and disability, and causes more than 480,000 deaths in the United States annually, including second hand smoke. “Second hand smoke is just as bad as see

The Holiday Season is a time for relaxation and spending time with family while also remembering the safety hazards involved. According to the National Safety Council, driving in the snow or on iced-over roads can cause drivers to lose control and cars to spin. Follow the speed limit, winterize your vehicle, and don’t drink and drive. Story by: Lance Cpl. Jonah Lovy Staff Writer

There are designated and off limits areas for tobacco use aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. All smoking areas should be 50 feet from a structural building or entrance way, or away from common areas where there are nonsmokers.

For many Marines, the holiday season is a time for relaxation and spending time with family. While it is important to get away from work for a brief time, do not forget about the safety hazards involved. From cooking to decorating, there are many things that could go wrong. Holiday mishaps can be easily avoided by following simple safety tips, and knowing how to properly apply them. Christmas trees are bought and sold earlier every year, and tend to dry up quickly without proper care, according

to the National Fire Protection Association. When purchasing a live tree, be sure it is still moist. The trunk has to be cut, and the tree must be watered daily. When choosing an artificial tree, ensure it bears the “Fire Resistant” label. While this type of tree can catch fire, it will resist burning and should extinguish quickly, according to the NFPA. “You shouldn’t place [Christmas trees] near a heating vent, fire place, candles, or anything that would dry it out,” said Joseph A. Otterbine, the lead fire inspector and fire investigator at the Masee

The NWS needs real-time reports of hail size, wind damage, flash flooding, heavy rain, tornadoes, and waterspouts to effectively warn the public of inclement weather. Even as new technology allows the NWS to issue

warnings with more lead time, spotters are needed as links between radar indications of severe weather and ground truth. Storm Spotter volunteers serve as severe weather spotters for the NWS and local emergency management programs, and generally have two things in common - an interest in the weather and a desire to serve their community. Two sessions available; you need only attend one. Completion results in being a Certified Storm Spotter. Free to DOD-affiliated personnel 18 and above (base access credentials required to attend).

Stay Strong, Stay Vigilant

By Sgt. Dengrier M. Baez Public Affairs Chief

Being in the military and being part of a military family brings a sense of uncertainty in the world we live in. Many families have someone that gave their life in the defense of this country. As service members, we and our families know the reality and the sacrifices of war. We came into service knowing that we may be called to fight our nation’s battles. The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 showed Americans that our enemies will stop at nothing to terrorize the innocent, even if it meant killing nearly 3,000 innocent people. Hijacked commercial airplanes were used to destroy the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and damage the Pentagon near Washington, D.C. On April 15, 2013, two bombs detonated within seconds of each other near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 180. Across the world, many countries sus-

tained mass casualties during terrorist attacks as well. The 2004 Madrid train bombings, also known in Spain as 11-M, were nearly simultaneous bombings against the Cercanías commuter train system of Madrid, Spain, on the morning of March 11, 2004 – three days before Spain’s general elections. The explosions killed 191 people and injured more than 1,800. Anti-terrorist measures have been at their highest level in Paris since January, when two brothers attacked the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12. The attacks that took place at a series of venues in Paris Nov. 13 were the deadliest on French soil since WWII. At least 129 people were killed in six different locations. Approximately 100 were in critical condition. What this all means to us is we have to remain vigilant. No matter if you’re in the military or not, staying vigilant can save your life and those around you. The attacks in Paris are a hard reality

that terrorists are using any means necessary to avoid being detected. Even with the advances of today’s intelligence and the anti-terrorist preventive measures, these individuals were able to carry out their plans. We know our neighborhoods well enough to know when an individual or group is not familiar to the area. Don’t take matters into your own hands. Approaching a person and questioning their motives can be a dangerous situation for you and those that surround you. Be discreet, observe, and report it to the proper authorities. The same goes for suspicious bags or packages left unattended. These small actions can save the lives of many, to include yours. Let us come together as a community, state and a nation to help save lives. As we pay respect to those that loss their lives during the recent attacks, remember that we are all in this together. Terrorism has no borders. No matter where you are from, what language you speak, or your beliefs; the loss of one life its one too many.

November 2015 marks the 72nd anniversary of the Battle of Tarawa. The battle was one of the most tenacious and bloodiest battles in Marine Corps history. Nearly 6,400 Japanese, Korean and U.S. service members died in the three-day battle.

counter battery that neutralized a majority of the Japanese artillery. The Marines approached the shore using small amphibious vehicles to reach the beach at low tide, forcing the infantry to wade through waist deep water to reach dry land. Enemy machine gun fire rained down on the men from the shore. The Marines who made it ashore secured the beach and waited for reinforcements. On the morning of Nov. 21, tanks and artillery were brought by boat allowing the Marines to advance on the Japanese entrenched inland. U.S. forces captured the majority of the island on this day.

When the fighting was finished only 17 Japanese soldiers survived out of the 4,700 who fought. Nearly 1,700 U.S. service members were killed and 2,101 were wounded. “The capture of Tarawa knocked down the front door to the Japanese in the Central Pacific,” said Adm. Chester Nimitz, the commander-in-chief of U.S. Pacific Fleet during World War II. The legacy of Tarawa lives on in the Marine Corps today. The Marines faced overwhelming odds but persevered until victorious.

The Holiday Season is a time for relaxation and spending time with family while also remembering the safety hazards involved. When purchasing a live Christmas tree, be sure it’s still moist. The trunk has to be cut, and the tree must be watered daily. When choosing an artificial tree, it should bear the “Fire Resistant” label. While this type of tree can catch fire, it will resist burning and should extinguish quickly, according to the NFPA.

HOLIDAY continued from page 1

rine Corps Air Station Beaufort Fire-Rescue Department. When it comes down to decorating your tree, be sure that all cords and wires are safely connected to the proper power source to prevent electrical fires. “Make sure there are no frays in wires, broken bulbs or overloaded power outlets,” said Otterbine. Another fire hazard in the home is fireplaces. According to the NFPA, everything and everyone should be kept a safe distance from the fire. Do not burn any wrapping paper in fireplaces because embers can escape and cause uncontrolled fires. Use the safety screen in front of your fireplace to make sure the

fire is contained. Many people like to burn their Christmas tree after the holidays. A dry Christmas tree will ignite in seconds. “A room with a dry Christmas tree can ignite in 43 seconds,” said Otterbine.”You must have a plan, and keep in mind how fast you can get out. Properly disposing of trees at a landfill or taking them to get mulched are safer alternatives.” Many Marines travel to visit friends and family during the holidays, and driving in winter weather conditions can be very dangerous. According to the National Safety Council, driving in the snow or on iced-over roads can cause drivers to lose control

and cars to spin. Almost 900 people are killed and nearly 76,000 people are injured each year in motor vehicle crashes during snowfall or sleet, according to the NSC. According to dmv.org, you can prepare your vehicle for the winter by changing the oil, installing snow tires, and keeping an emergency kit in the car. Turkeys are often cooked and eaten during the holiday season, and it’s important to know how to properly prepare, cook and operate the deep fryer or oven. Deep fryers should only be used outdoors, on a flat surface, at least 10 feet away from houses with the appropriate amount of oil, according to the

NSC. The turkey should be completely thawed before frying, because ice and hot oil can be an explosive combination. The oil from deep fryers can overflow, and the flame underneath can ignite the oil and cause a fire. “Be sure all fire extinguishers are up to date, smoke detector batteries are working, and there’s an emergency evacuation plan in place in case a mishap occurs,” said Otterbine. Following safety precautions during the holidays and know how to react in the event of an emergency. It can save your life.

first hand smoke, especially for young children and babies whose lungs have not fully developed yet,” said Williams. There are over 4,000 ingredients in a single cigarette. The key ingredient that causes addiction is Nicotine. “Nicotine is one of the hardest drugs to kick,” said Williams. “It’s more addictive than cocaine or heroin.” Chewing tobacco, or dip, can be more addicting than cigarettes, because of its direct contact with the soft tissue in the mouth, said Williams. The effects of tobacco use on the body are dangerous. With today’s technology it makes it easier to inform the world about the harm it can cause. “When commercials about the side effects and the dangers of tobacco came out on TV, we had an increase in people attend our tobacco cessation class,” said Williams. “It’s graphic, and people were really paying attention to it.” Tobacco cessation classes are offered every Wednesday at 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m., to active duty service members at the Branch Medical Clinic aboard the air station. “Just like those who don’t smoke, people who quit develop a heightened sense of smell and sensitivity to smoke, and didn’t realize how bad they smelled prior,” said Williams. The American Cancer Society offers programs and advice for tobacco cessation, and can help those willing to quit. Before stopping to go buy another pack, think about how tobacco use can affect mission readiness and overall health.

Tobacco cessation is encouraged aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort to ensure Marines and Sailors are healthy and mission ready. The surgeon general’s warning is on every tobacco product, and shows the dangers of using their products.

NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY, Bahrain -- More than 100 Marines, sailors and guests witnessed a historic ceremony aboard Naval Support Activity Bahrain, Oct. 15, when Command Element U.S. Marine Corps Forces Central Command Forward deactivated and opened a new chapter in the proud history and legacy of the 5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade. The 5th MEB provides a scalable, standing, joint capable, forward-deployed headquarters in the CENT-

COM area of responibility capable of conducting expeditionary operations, crisis response and limited contingency operations in support U.S. CENTCOM operational requirements. “When the United States and her allies have needed a crisis response force in the past, 5th MEB has responded,” said Maj. Gen. Carl E. Mundy III, commander of the newly activated 5th MEB. “Our activation today means that we will continue to be there in the future.” The 5th MEB will have established relationships with air, ground and logistical combat elements. However, these elements

will reside in the U.S. until called to execute any crisis or contingency. To prepare for future operations these continental U.S.-based enablers will participate in several exercises annually to increase interoperability. 5th MEB first activated during World War I and served in France guarding supply lines and garrisons that were critical to supporting the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments during the allied defeat of the German army in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The last activation occurred during Operation Desert Storm when 7,500 Marines deployed to the

Persian Gulf aboard 13 amphibious ships and conducted an amphibious landing south of the Kuwaiti border. 5th MEB supported deception operations that fixed divisions and resulted in the successful coalition offensive that defeated Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guard Force over the course of a 100-hour ground campaign. “Today, we have unrolled the battle colors of this historic unit and yet again become ‘The right force, right now,’ the 5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade,” said Major General Mundy III.

Marines are welcomed home by their family and friends aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort after returning from Operation Inherent Resolve Nov. 17.

Story by: Lance Cpl. Jonah Lovy Staff Writer

Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251 returned to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort from Operation Inherent Resolve Nov. 17. The squadron was deployed aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt for eight months in support of the operation. F/A-18C Hornets from VMFA-251 were involved in the operation which began in March. Numerous Marines from Fightertown were deployed to maintain and operate the aircraft. “Even though we had ten jets out there, not all of them flew every day,” said Sgt. Christine Shealy, an avionics technician with VMFA-251. “We rotate the ones we use so we have more time to perform maintenance if we need it.” Marines worked around the clock on the ship to make sure the aircraft performed effectively when it was time for them to fly. Operating on a carrier requires precise scheduling. “All the maintainers are on 12 hour shifts, with a day and night shift rotation,” said Shealy. “The night crew’s job is primarily to make sure the jets are ready to fly the next morning.” The busy schedule was not the only obstacle Marines had to overcome during their time at sea. Overcoming the elements proved its own challenges. “There were times when temperatures reached 150 degrees aboard the ship,” said Shealy. “It was really tough conditions to work in with all of our gear on but we pushed through.” The pilots with VMFA251 flew missions that required a large amount of ordnance. The gear they needed to fly with had to be properly maintained and accounted for by the Marines. “We dropped a lot of ordinance while we were

out there,” said Sgt. Kodi Kilcoin, an aviation supply specialist with VMFA251. “All the Marines I worked with were great. We had a tough job keeping track of everything but we got the job done and accomplished the mission.” Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251 played a vital role in the operation but they were not the only unit to deploy. Other Navy squadrons flew missions from the Roosevelt as well. “Of all the squadrons that were a part of the operation, we were the only one flying the [F/A18C],” said Shealy. “Other squadrons flew different models of the Hornet. Every squadron worked to support each other and the Marines and Navy cooperated perfectly.” The pilots flew missions every day but they also needed to keep up with their training while on the deployment. “In addition to the missions they fly, the pilots still need to meet all their training requirements,” said Shealy. “We make sure all the pilots fly to maintain their certifications.” Now the pilots and maintainers of VMFA251 are returning home for some much deserved rest and relaxation. The service members were greeted on the MCAS Beaufort flight line by family members and loved ones. “It feels amazing to be home right now,” said Kilcoin. “I’m mostly excited to spend time with my wife and sleep in my king-size bed.” Marines faced challenges on their deployment but return to Beaufort knowing that the mission was accomplished. “The Marines were outstanding,” said Sheally. “Everyone worked harder than I have ever seen before. It was incredible to be with them even through all the hard times in the deployment.”
