Did you know... July 11, 1798: President John Adams approved “An Act for Establishing and Organizing a Marine Corps”, and it became law. The following day, the President appointed William Ward Burrows the Major Commandant of the new Corps. In August, Major Burrows opened his headquarters in Philadelphia, at that time still the capital of the new nation.

Chaplain’s Corner

Seeing Value in Our Differences

By Chaplain Luke Wilson LT, CHC, USN Deputy Group Chaplain, MAG-31

Wouldn’t life be easier if everyone were the same? Think of the problems we could avoid if we all wanted the same things and shared all the same beliefs. Such a world, however, doesn’t exist. The temptation to form everyone “from a single mold,” said one minister, “would contradict the genius of God, who created every man different.” Society is full of different religious and cultural groups. As long as we treat each other with mutual respect, our differences can enrich our lives and our communities. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks compared our society to the workings of nature: “Just as the natural environment depends on biodiversity, so the human environment depends on cultural diversity.” Equilibrium among different groups can offer stability. We can each learn from others. We find meaning in human connection when we look beyond ourselves and discover the dignity of others, even if we disagree. Differences can make life harder, but also more worth living. The Bible points us to those

who are different. “Do not forget to entertain strangers,” it says, “for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.” (Hebrews 13:2). Likewise, our differences can be a blessing in disguise. A respect for diverse beliefs is an important part of spiritual maturity. In that spirit, one religious leader made a plea for more understanding and encouraged people “to show kindness and respect for all people everywhere. The world in which we live is filled with diversity. We can and should demonstrate respect toward those whose beliefs differ from ours.” Krister Stendahl, who served as Bishop of Stockholm and was a professor at Harvard Divinity School, established three rules for religious understanding: (1) When you are trying to understand another religion, you should ask the adherents of that religion and not its enemies; (2) don’t compare your best to their worst; and (3) leave room for what he called “holy envy” by finding elements in other faiths to admire. These principles foster positive relationships between people of different faiths. It is important to note that promoting understanding does not require compromising our own beliefs. Though we can recognize our

differences, we can also recognize universal values we share such as to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18). We can be enriched by associations with different people, which remind us of the wonderful diversity of the children of God. One Christian leader expressed this idea: “Each of us is part of a great family, the human family, sons and daughters of God, and therefore brothers and sisters” and that “we must work harder to build mutual respect” for one another. A Muslim scholar, Dr. Alwi Shihab, from Indonesia, similarly taught that “we must respect this God-given dignity in every human being” and that “the goal of all human relations” should be “cooperation and mutual respect.” Living together with mutual respect for one another’s differences is a challenge in today’s world. However, this is what we must strive to do. We should look for and honor the good we see in other people even though they may differ from us. I pray that we will each reach out to others in a spirit of love and concern for the welfare of all, regardless of our differences, knowing that we are truly brothers and sisters, fellow children of God.

Piecing History Together: Gravesite markers return to proper place Story by: Cpl. Jonah Lovy Staff Writer Three headstones that were removed from a St. Helena Island cemetery have been found and are being returned to their original gravesites. Personnel from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort were instrumental in the effort to identify the stones. Gary Herndon, the Natural and Cultural Resources Manager aboard the air station received a call in September 2015 from the daughter of deceased Beaufort County Coroner Roger Pinkney. She claimed to have found three headstones on her father’s property. “She inherited her father’s house after he died,” said Herndon. “She was cleaning up the property when the stones were discovered. They cleared some bushes and they were lying right underneath.” Herndon knew that there were some old cemeteries on the air station so he thought the headstones more than likely came from MCAS Beaufort. “I went and picked them up from the same spot they had probably been for decades,” said Herndon. “I as-

sumed that they belonged here because we have a number of graves that are unmarked.” From September 2015 of last year up until last month the headstones were in the possession of the Natural and Cultural Resources Department. However the headstones did not belong to any gravesite aboard Fightertown. A call from Kimberly Morgan, a local historian, confirmed their origin. “Kimberly Morgan eventually figured out that they did not belong on the air station. Two came off of St. Helena Island and one came off another cemetery nearby,” said Herndon. “She was able to get in touch with a local historian who started making plans to have a ceremony in honor of the stones returning. Unfortunately he died of cancer before his plans were finished but others have taken over the project to restore the graves.” The headstones are currently awaiting placement at their original gravesites. “Hopefully now that the story is out there someone out there will see it and shed some light on how the stones were removed in the first place,” said Herndon.

Stephen Binyard’s grave is displayed at the unveiling of Edgerly Cemetery aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Sept. 18, 2015. The cemetery has been cleaned-up and restored to honor the memory of Binyard and the other ancestors of the Edgerly Plantation whose burial locations have yet to be discovered. In 1866, after serving in the Union Army for three years, Binyard and his family bought a piece of land on Edgerly Plantation. This has been Binyard’s resting place since his death in 1882.

Stronger, Faster and Fitter: CMC overhauls USMC fitness program

The Marine Corps has announced today that revisions have been made to its physical fitness program, to include the Physical Fitness Test (PFT), Combat Fitness Test (CFT) and the Body Composition Program (BCP). Changes to BCP will take effect immediately, while PFT and CFT changes will be implemented starting Jan. 1, 2017.

Story and graphic illustration by: Sgt. Cuong Le Defense Media Activity FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Maryland -- The Marine Corps has announced today that revisions have been made to its physical fitness program, to include the Physical Fitness Test (PFT), Combat Fitness Test (CFT) and the Body Composition Program (BCP). Changes to BCP will take effect immediately, while PFT and CFT changes will be implemented starting Jan. 1, 2017. The PFT changes are among the most profound since 1972 and the changes to the CFT standards are the first since its inception in 2009. “Last November we began a comprehensive review of physical fitness and body composition standards,” said Gen. Robert B. Neller, the 37th Commandant of the Marine Corps. “Subsequent efforts focused on developing a physical fitness program that incentivizes behavior toward an end state of a healthy and fit force able to better answer the call in any clime and place.” Immediate changes to the BCP include an increase in the height and weight standards for females, better equipment

for determining height and weight for all Marines and the BCP waiver authority will be passed from the deputy commandant of Manpower and Reserve Affairs to the first general officer in a Marine’s chain of command. The Marine Corps has taken physical performance into consideration when considering BCP. Marines scoring 285 and higher on both the PFT and CFT will now be exempt from height and weight standards. Marines who score between 250 and 284 will have their maximum body fat percentage increased by one percent. So for example if a Marine has a maximum body fat percentage is 19 percent, with a score between 250 and 284 on both the PFT and CFT, he or she will be allowed to go up to 20 percent body fat. Changes to the PFT include a pull-up/ push-up hybrid for both males and females. This eliminates the option for the flex arm hang for females starting in January. Although Marines can earn points by doing either of the exercises, the maximum amount of points a Marine can earn doing push-ups is 70 points versus 100 if they chose to do pull-ups. This means the highest PFT score a Marine can earn if

they chose to do push-ups is 270. The primary benefits of incorporating the pullup/push-up option for all Marines is that it incentivizes Marines to improve their pull-ups while ensuring gains of upper body strength across the force. Marines will also have to complete more crunches for maximum score on their next PFT, with scoring being age and gender normed. There will be a slight adjustment to the three-mile run for Marines in high age brackets, too. The PFT and CFT age brackets will change from four age groups to eight. The new groups are as follows: 17-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, 41-45, 46-50, and 51+. Changes to the CFT will consist of adjusted scoring for all three events to correspond with the eight age brackets. The most drastic change will be with the ammo can lifts (ACL) where male Marines age 31-35 will have to complete 120 ACLs for a perfect score vice 97, and female Marines age 26-30 will have to complete 75 ACLs for a perfect score vice 63. Another change to the CFT is all Marines will perform five push-ups instead of three push-ups during the maneuver under fire portion of the test. “The new PFT and CFT standards raise

the bar on physical fitness for all Marines,” said Maj. Gen. James W. Lukeman, commanding general, Training and Education Command. “Marines today are stronger, faster and fitter than ever and these changes reflect that. Bigger and stronger often means heavier, so tying performance on the PFT and CFT to changes to the Body Composition Program are improvements that we think the Marines will appreciate. In the end, it’s all about improving the readiness and combat effectiveness of our Corps and the physical fitness of every Marine contributes to that.” TECOM will monitor the effects of these adjustments for two years and then adjust if required to ensure the standards contribute to the effectiveness of the force. Additional details, including the new PFT/CFT scoring tables, physical fitness training recommendations and BCP adjustments are available at: https://fitness.usmc.mil. Follow-on MARADMINS and instructional products will further address details of the changes and the associated Marine Corps Orders will be updated accordingly.

Marines, airmen conduct FEX to enhance EOD skills

Senior Airman Christian Hulsey, an explosive ordnance technician with 4th civil engineer squadron, sweeps the ground for unexploded ordnance alongside a Marine with 2nd Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company during a field exercise at Camp Lejeune, N.C., June 30. The field exercise was a weeklong event that served as an evaluation of the skills and capabilities as EOD technicians.

Story and photos by: Lance Cpl. Damarko Bones II Marine Expeditionary Force MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians with the 4th Civil Engineer Squadron from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, joined Marines with 2nd EOD Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, to conduct training as the Marines completed a quarterly evaluation of their capabilities as EOD technicians during a field training exercise at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., June 27 – July 1. During the exercise, the Marines tested their job skills and complete assigned tasks that are pertinent to the military oc-

cupational specialty of EOD Technician. “We’re doing a forward evaluation of our EOD technicians to make sure we’re meeting our evaluation-coded events from our training and readiness manual to make sure our Marines are capable of deploying in a worldwide manner,” said Chief Warrant Officer Michael L. Gaydeski, a platoon commander with the company. “Our training and readiness manual has the tasks we’re responsible for, which feed into our mission essential tasks. It’s a building block approach of being able to complete the mission.” During the evaluation Marines are faced with various situations. They have to respond accordingly to complete the mission in the most effective, yet timely manner.

Marines with 2nd Explosive Ordnance Disposal plot the land as they search for potential unexploded ordnance during a field training exercise at Camp Lejeune, N.C., June 30. The training was a weeklong event that evaluated the Marines on their abilities to be successful EOD technicians.

“We’re given a scenario and we take the tasks that we’re able to accomplish (and we select one) and then we employ it,” said Gaydeski. “We go [to] find the ordnance and remove it safely without exposing ourselves to danger, we render it safe and [then] we dispose of it.” Airmen assigned to 4th Civil Engineer Squadron took part in the exercise to assist the Marines and learn from the differences in operations between the two services. “Training here is very beneficial because Seymour Johnson Air Force Base has a much smaller range limit whereas the Marines have a much larger area and they can easily work with live explosives,” said Air Force Staff Sgt. Derek Horn, with 4th CES. “We learn [things] from the Ma-

rines because they operate differently than us and we’re able to take it back to our guys and show them different ways to work because it’s sometimes more effective.” The evaluation makes for more combat-ready EOD technicians by helping the Marines bond from one another and letting them perform their jobs under a higher stress-level than they are used to while in garrison. “Any time you have all of your guys working together to complete the same mission it builds unit cohesion and enhances unit readiness,” said Gaydeski. “If our guys were to deploy to a combat zone today, I have full faith that we would be able to complete our mission.”
