DUI: Not worth the risk

A static display of a wrecked car is displayed aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort May 14. The display was set up to show the dangers of distracted and drunk driving as well as to bring awareness to how Marines can stay safe during the “101 Days of Summer”. Story by Cpl. Terry Haynes III

This year dozens of Marines will be detained due to alcohol related incidents. Alcohol impairment depends on many factors from weight, body fat percentage, gender and the amount of alcohol consumed compared to how much food is in a person’s stomach while they drink. “Whenever there is an accident, one of the first things that investigating authorities check is if alcohol was involved,” said Staff Sgt. David Wilshire, an accident investigation chief with the Provost Marshal’s Office aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. “Having fun responsibly means knowing your limits when you go out and drink. Most incidents can be avoided. Taking five minutes to come up with a simple plan can save lives.” Out in town, the DUI illegal limitation law mirrors that of MCAS Beaufort as far as blood alcohol concentration Photo by Cpl. Terry Haynes III percentages are concerned, with 0.08 percent being the One of the last things that Marines and Sailors see before driving off base is a sign that counts the last days since maximum limit.

Voluntary Education Program

Story by Cpl. Ashley Phillips

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort’s Voluntary Education Program team members have provided guidance and assistance to over 900 active duty Marines and Sailors in the Tri-command who are currently utilizing tuition assistance and attending colleges this year. This is roughly 13 percent of the active duty personnel throughout the Tri-command. “I think any Marine who has hit that two year mark needs to start utilizing tuition assistance,” said Mark Story, the education services officer with Marine Corps Community Services. “Just this year, a new Marine administrative message came out saying that if the service member has written approval from their commanding officer, they may begin utilizing tuition assistance at 18 months instead of 24 months.” The VEP office aboard the air station is located in building 596 on the second floor. There you will find education specialists who can help you identify everything from what colleges to attend, what degrees to begin, and long term life and career goals. “When someone comes to me, the first thing we look at is their GT score,” said

Diane Gillaspie, an education specialist with MCCS. “There are certain GT score requirements and certain time in service criteria service members must reach. The next thing is, I ask them a lot of questions about their short and long term goals.” Whether Marines want to stay in the Marine Corps for 30 years or serve one contract, there are benefits to having a degree or participating in college classes while in the Marine Corps. When Marines go to the VEP office the team members will explain the benefits for each individual and have the Marines share their education and career goals. “When they tell me what they want to be doing in 10 years for a career, we are able to start looking for degree programs and colleges,” Gillaspie said. “The great thing is that when they come to us, we can search for colleges in unbiased search engines and figure out which program is best suited for them, whether that be online or on campus. We are really fortunate that in our area we have four colleges that cater to nearly every career field our Marines are interested in.” After applying for colleges, the see vep, page 4

Did you know... Date: October 5, 1775: The Continental Congress used the word “Marines” on one of the earliest known occasions, when it directed General George Washington to secure two vessels and to give orders for the “proper encouragement to the Marines and seamen” to serve on the two armed ships.

Marine Corps Top Shot MCAS Beaufort is in Tropical Cyclone Condition V for 2018 Atlantic Hurricane season until November 30.

education office can also help with applying for tuition assistance, Federal Student Aid, as well as other college tuition grants and scholarships. Gillaspie also said that sometimes even getting started on a short term goal such as an associate’s degree can really give the Marines a head start in the right direction. “Another thing I tell people that our office isn’t just for active duty service members; we also help their spouses,” Story said. “We provide the same resources and information to the spouses. There’s also what’s called My Career Advancement Account provided through Military One Source. It’s a scholarship that military spouses can use to help with college tuition.” Regardless of whether Marines want to spend their entire career in the Marine Corps or be working in the civilian sector in five years, attending higher education and utilizing tuition assistance will never be to their detriment. Taking advantage of the opportunities made available to you while on active duty will set you up for success no matter how long you stay in the Marine Corps. said Gillaspie. continued from page 1

receive a DUI or alcohol-related violation even if your BAC is under the legal limit just by displaying signs that are consistent with a person who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. “As one cohesive base of Marines and Sailors, we all have a responsibility to look out for each other,” said Adam Grey, a traffic safety officer with MCAS Beaufort. “It’s the mentality of never leaving a fellow Marine behind. There are so many different tools that are available to prevent these kinds of violations. Taxis are available for use by the Marines as well as other secondary ride sharing services such as Uber and Lyft. Squadrons on base offer arrive alive cards and the MAG started a new program as well.” Marine Aircraft Group-31 has a program called the Volunteer Driving Program. According to Group Order 5353.1, the program continued from page 1

provides transportation to and from liberty establishments for all headquarters and subordinate unit Marines and Sailors. “A DUI charge can range anywhere from $8,000 to $10,000,” Wilshire said. “The part people forget the most is that if you get arrested out in town that you will be tried on base as well.” You can expect to lose your driving privileges on base for up to a year and you’re not going to have a good time paying your legal fees after you’ve been demoted. As we approach the end of the year, alcohol tends to be served at parties and unit functions, have a plan before going out. Marines shouldn’t have to worry about jeopardizing their careers over avoidable mistakes.

Marine Aircraft Group-31 recently established the Volunteer Driving Program. The program provides transportation to and from liberty establishments for all headquarters and subordinate unit Marines and Sailors so that they can make it home safely.

MARINE KILLED IN ACTION AT THE CHOSIN RESERVOIR RECEIVES FINAL SEND OFF FROM FOX COMPANY Photo by Sgt. Miguel A. Rosales

U.S. Marines with the Company F, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regimant, 1st Marine Division, Color Guard, render a salute to Pfc. Roger Gonzales during his funeral service at the Green Hill Mortuary and Memorial Chaple, Rancho Palos Verdes, California, Sept. 21. Gonzales was killed in action on November 29, 1950, from enemy sniper fire while attempting to find a lost comrade on Fox Hill where he was shortly after buried.

Story and photos by Sgt. Miguel A. Rosales

Sgt. Justus Branson, a platoon sergeant with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, looked on as his brother in arms, Pfc. Roger Gonzales, was lowered to his final resting place. Gonzales died 68 years earlier at the Chosin Reservoir while serving with Fox Company. Branson was part of a group of over 40 Marines who drove from Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Training Center Twentynine Palms to attend the funeral of Gonzales. “The presence of so many Marines indicates the honor that we give for those who lay down their lives for their Country and their fellow citizens,” said Chaplain Daniel Fullerton, the chaplain for Headquarters Battalion, 1st Marine Division. Chaplain Fullerton delivered the invocation during the funeral. The group of Marines traveled to Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., to pay their respect to Gonzales, whose remains had been identified and transferred to the Gonzales family, 68 years after he was killed in action during Fox Company’s last stand at the Chosin Reservoir. “Even if we were in the middle of a huge training operation, we would’ve driven across the country for this, without a doubt,” said Branson. Family, friends, and service members from across the US paid their respect to Gonzales as he was laid to rest, next to his mother Anastacia, at Green Hills Cemetery. The bond that exists between the Marines and those that have gone before them is a sacred and timeless connection. Pfc. Gonzales shared some of the same bonds and experiences during his time in the Marine Corps that the Marines share and experience now. During those times, men, ages 18 to 26 were drafted into the U.S. military and required to serve their country for the war ahead— some men didn’t need to be drafted. Such was the case for Pfc. Roger Gonzales, a San Pedro, California native. Shortly after graduating high school, Gonzales enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserves and two years later found himself in North Korea with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. “The Marines moved us around together, his cousin and I, we were the 7th Marines when they were reforming it. We were in infantry training together, in the same squad, and so we got to be good friends,” said Robert Ezell, then a corporal with Fox Company. “We had good times together— we had a lot of laughs. We took care of each other

like Marines do.” Ezell continued by sharing that when he and Gonzales arrived to Korea, they were placed into the same company, but in different platoons. At the time, the U.S. X Corps, which consisted mainly of the 1st Marine Division and the Army’s 31st Regimental Combat Team, occupied the Chosin Reservoir. On Nov. 27, 1950, the Chinese force surprised the U.S. X Corps at the Chosin Reservoir. From November 27 to December 13, 30,000 United Nations troops (later nicknamed “The Chosin Few”) were encircled and attacked by approximately 120,000 Chinese troops. They were nicknamed the Chosin Few because of the inferior number of troops and the location of the battle. The conflict lasted a brutal 17 days, which took place during some of the harshest weather conditions and roughest terrain of the war. The extreme weather conditions caused the weapons lubricant to freeze, rendering the troops’ weapons useless, and by the end of the fighting it had come to hand-to-hand combat. It would come to be known as one of the most gruesome battles of the Korean War. The war claimed the lives of more than 30,000 U.S. troops. “After the first firefight, his cousin called me and told me that Roger had been killed on top of the mountain pass, Toktong Pass,” said Ezell. Gonzales was buried at the base of Fox Hill. After the war, his remains were disinterred and returned to the U.S. but could not be identified at the time. However, through scientific advances and DNA tests from Gonzales’ younger sisters, Alicia Vallejo and Mary Rosa Loy, that changed. On June 4, 2018, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency was able to identify Gonzales’ remains. After nearly 68 years of uncertainty and unanswered questions, the Gonzales family was finally able to honor their Marine who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Ezell remembered his friend, “I feel very honored to be able to speak at his burial. It’s just a big honor to me. I don’t know what else to say about him except that he was a great guy.” For today’s Fox Company Marines, they felt they had to attend the funeral to make sure Gonzales was laid to rest with a proper goodbye from his unit. “Knowing his story and knowing what he went throughbeing able to be here for him and represent him,” said Branson. “It’s probably the most meaningful thing I’ve done in the Marine Corps. It’s truly an honor to be here.”
