“These performances are designed solely for military families,” said Amy Banks, with the Marine Corps Community Services Family Care Branch. “The families and children face unique challenges. The Sesame Street/ USO shows present a new Muppet that you won’t see on the television. This new Muppet is Katie, a military kid.”

Chaplain’s Corner

Finding Answers to Your Prayers

By Chaplain Luke Wilson Deputy Chaplain, MAG-31

We learn from the Bible that if we lack wisdom, we should ask of God, who gives to all liberally (James 1:5). We are also taught to ask and it shall be given, to seek and we shall find, and to knock and it shall be opened unto us (Matthew 7:7; Luke 11:9). And yet many of us often struggle to find answers to our prayers. We may even wonder sometimes if God actually hears us when we pray. It is important for us to remember that prayer is not just one-way communication from a person to God. Prayer is really two-way communication; prayer is a conversation between a person and God. Not only can we speak to God, but God can also speak to us. Understanding how God speaks to us is a learning process.

God speaks to us in many different ways, often in ways we can hear only if we are really listening. To better hear God’s voice in our lives, sometimes we need to turn down the volume of the worldly noise around us. If we ignore spiritual promptings, we

may notice and recognize them less until we cannot hear them at all. It is important for us to learn to listen to the promptings God gives us and to be willing to follow them.

Another reason we sometimes do not recognize God’s voice in our lives is because answers to our prayers do not always come to us directly and in the way we might expect. God wants us to study and think in addition to praying for guidance as we seek answers to personal questions and concerns in our lives. God will hear and answer our prayers, but the answer may sometimes come through Scripture or through the wisdom of inspired family members and friends.

A 20th century religious leader once said, “God does notice us, and He watches over us. But it is usually through another person that He meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other.” We each have a responsibility to serve and to be sensitive to the needs of others. We can all look for opportunities to reach out and bless those around us.

A current religious leader has

taught, “Often, the answer to our prayer does not come while we’re on our knees but while we’re on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us.” This leader has also said, “By becoming the answer to someone’s prayer, we often find the answer to our own.” Serving others strengthens us spiritually and also opens the windows of heaven.

I want each of you to know that God loves you and hears your prayers. God can speak to you in your life in unique ways and provide peace and understanding as you seek His guidance and strive to follow Him. My hope for all of us is that we will not only pray, but also listen for the answer.

And I hope that we will not only focus on finding answers for ourselves, but also look for ways to serve others and to help those around us find the answers and blessings they are seeking. I know that as we strive to bless others, we will be blessed as well.

Fightertown hosts MARSOC recruiters Story and photos by: Lance Cpl. Ashley Phillips Staff Writer

A team of Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command recruiters held a recruiting brief aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Aug. 30. MARSOC is based out of Camp Lejeune, N.C. The recruires are looking for qualified Marines who want to change their life.

Their campaign slogan is, Today will be different.

“MARSOC is the Special Operations Command of the Marine Corps,” said Maj. Todd Paulson, the marketing director with MARSOC. “It is also one of the branches of the U.S. Special Operations Command which is comprised of the Green Barets, Navy Seals, and now the Marine Corps has its own part in that.”

Initially MARSOC started in Force Recon during World War II as the amphibious reconnaissance battalion before being merged into the 1st Force Reconnaissance Company. After the

Vietnam War they were deactivated until the Gulf War. In 2005 the Secretary of Defense directed that a Marine Component be created within USSOCOM. In 2008, MARSOC reached full operational capability with 2,500 Marines serving in it.

According to their website, the core activities of MARSOC are direct action, special reconnaissance, and preparation of the environment, security force assistance, counterterrorism, foreign internal defense, and counterinsurgency.

The Marines of MARSOC deploy and fight using unconventional warfare, and win wars before they begin. These highly skilled operators are qualified in all of these fields.

“Almost everything we do falls under unconventional warfare,” said a recruiter. “MARSOC is the full Marine Corps experience. We do what most Marines joined the Corps to do. We fight and win wars before they begin.”

Marines file into the Lasseter Theater for a Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command recruiting brief aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Aug. 30. The Marines recruiters explained how the application process worked and what the training would be like.

Not every Marine has what it takes to be a MARSOC operator. Because of this, MARSOC only accepts volunteers.

To qualify for the assessment and selection process, Marines must have a 105 GT score, a 225 Physical Fitness Test, pass the swim assessment, pass medical screening, and be eligible for secret clearance. The GT score is received after taking the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery.

“There are three phases,” said the recruiter. “There is Assessment and Selection Phase 1 which prepares Marines for Phase 2. We don’t tell anyone about Phase 2. It is where you will be pushed to the limit and analyzed to see if you have what it takes. Phase 3 is about nine months Individual Training Course where we will mold candidates into special skills operators.”

The Individual Training Course ends with a culminating exercise called Derna Bridge. Candidates will deploy to a

town in the U.S. where they will have a very realistic environment to put into practice everything they have learned over the last months.

“The entire purpose of the training is to make the skills we teach them second nature, muscle memory,” said the recruiter. “They say it takes 3,000 repetitions to commit something to muscle memory. I guarantee, candidates will do well over 3,000 repititions.”

After the nine month course, MARSOC Critical Skills Operators will be assigned billets and will be placed in a geographic region. Deployments can range from 90 days to 8 months. According to their website, after a deployment, time with family is a command priority.

Applicants can talk to their career planner or visit marsoc.com to begin the application process. Marsoc.com also has training guides and contact numbers for recruiters.

Car Show marks end of Semper Fit Summer Challenge Story and photos by: Lance Cpl. Ashley Phillips Staff Writer

The Single Marines Program held the first annual Car Show aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Aug. 27. The Car show was also the final event scheduled for the 2016 Semper Fit Summer Challenge.

The car show gave Marines the opportunity to show off their cars and earn final points for their unit in the summer challenge. The show had a steady stream of spectators throughout the event. There were games, music and refreshment available for the participants.

“The car show is going remarkably well,” said Benjie Pangelinan, the Single Marines Program coordinator. “We are taking baby steps. This is our first car show and the

word is out. I’ve talked to a lot of people here who say they know someone who would want to come to the event.”

Sixteen cars were on display, ranging in different styles, sizes and ages. . Two judges inspected the cars throughout the afternoon, dividing them into 6 different categories: classics, hot rods, 4-wheel drive, new era, people’s choice and muscle cars “We’ll be giving away prizes in each of the six categories,” said Pangelinan. “We will also be giving away a people’s choice award. That’s what people have been voting on all day. At 3 p.m. we will calculate the scores and hand out the plaques.”

The two judges scoring the car show were volunteers who work at local car dealerships. Many of the participants as well

as the judges were retired Marines with a passion for cars.

“We are looking for detail,” said retired Sgt. Maj. Duane Guise, a judge at the car show. “We are looking for good paint, no body damage, clean interior, and safety. A lot of these guys are just daily drivers out here having fun. They get to show off their car, show off something they are proud of. I believe this kind of event gives a sense of unity, gets Marines out of the barracks, and they can bond while they work on their hobbies together.”

When the judges finished inspecting the vehicles the scores were tabulated and the votes for the people’s choice award were counted up. The winners received a plaque for the category their car fell under.

“This is all really about

the Semper Fit Summer Challenge,” said Pangelinan. “Letting people earn points for their units. It was the final event scheduled for the challenge but people can still earn points by rock climbing and doing other various Semper Fit activities as a unit or shop until the end of August.”

The Semper Fit Summer Challenge started back in May, promoting healthy lifestyles and camaraderie among units.

Throughout the summer, units have competed in various athletic competitions and team building events to earn points.

When the challenge ends, the points will be totaled up. The team with the most points will win $1,000 toward their Marine Corps Birthday ball.

The runner-up will win $500 towards their ball fund as well.

Children play during Military Appreciation Day aboard Laurel Bay Aug. 27. The event was organized by the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce and was open to all military personnel in the Tri-command and their families Games and food stations were set up on a field near the Laurel bay entrance and ran by volunteers..

“We have been doing this for over thirty years and we are so proud to be here again,” said Williams. “Marines have been in Beaufort for over 100 years and they are a huge driver of our economy so the chamber of commerce and the whole town support them.”

There are three military installations in the town of Beaufort: Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, and Naval Hospital Beaufort. Together they contribute a substantial amount to the local economy.

“We view it as our responsibility to protect the installations as well as to help them be successful and happy,” said Williams. “One of the ways we do that is to acknowledge the family contributions that are made and make sure that Beaufort is a welcoming place for all of them.”

Some of the volunteers were provided by the chamber of commerce but other organizations contributed as well. Some members of the local American Veterans Department came to make food and help out.

“Everything is free for our military personnel and their families. We come out every year and it seems to get bigger every time because of word of mouth,” said Jennifer Rurick, a volunteer with AMVETS post 70. “It is our way to say thanks and give back. Everyone seems to enjoy it. All these people are so nice and grateful and it’s just such a happy day. There are all kinds of things to do.”

The event was family oriented and there were activities for all ages. Bounce houses, face painting, and

basketball hoops were scattered throughout the area.

“I think it is wonderful to see everyone out here,” said Rurick. “All the kids running around are having fun and their parents too.”

The Chamber of Commerce has a mission specifically for military enhancement and military affairs.

They devote time and effort into building the relationship between the town and the military installations.

“We view our job as to protect the quality of life for our military residents in the area and support the missions of the Tri-command,” said Williams “We do a fair amount of advocacy work to inform everyone that the military here is important not only in national defense but to our local economy as well.”

Military Appreciation Day is just one event that benefits military families. Programs are scheduled throughout the year to support the community.

“We try to give back to the military community as much as possible,” said Williams. “On September 13 we are recognizing our military family of the quarter.

We already have them selected and we look forward to celebrating with them.”

The tradition of Military Appreciation Day is scheduled to continue next year after a high turnout and good response this year.

“We have a great turnout today,” said Williams. “It is our pleasure and privilege to be able to serve the families and it is just so much fun.”

Then Muppets danceed onto the stage and encouraged the parents and children to join in. After a few hugs and greetings they introduce Katie.

“This teaches the children and it brings them joy,” said Banks. “It opens dialogue for the kids. The whole show is about how Katie feels and how her friends talk to her. Really, this is such an amazing

collaboration between the USO and Sesame Street.”

According to their website the Sesame Street/ USO Experience for Military Families began in 2008. Since then they have performed over 1,000 tours on 149 military installations in 33 states and 11 countries.

They have reached more than 54,000 troops and military families.

“We have 52 installations we are preforming at in the next six months,” said Nicole McClendon, the Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families tour manager

with the USO. “We believe that when one family member serves, the entire family serves. I like to think of it as a live singing and dancing thank you to military families.”

The tour also provides parents with resources and reading material to better help them understand and communicate with their children about moving and transitioning.

VMFA-122 gets low during Southern Frontier

An F/A-18C Hornet with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 122 takes off during Southern Frontier at Royal Australian Air Force Base Tindal, Australia, Aug. 31, 2016.

VMFA-122 executed low-altitude tactics training, flying below 500 feet to evade simulated enemy radar detection or to escape enemy aircraft vectored toward friendly aircraft.

By integrating low-altitude tactics into the three week unit level training, pilots gained their final qualifications during Southern Frontier, strengthening the squadrons overall combat readiness.

ROYAL AUSTRALIAN AIR FORCE BASE TINDAL, Australia -- Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122 executed low-altitude tactics training during the last week of Southern Frontier at Royal Australian Air Force Base Tindal, Australia, Aug. 29, 2016.

By integrating low-altitude tactics into the three week unit level training, pilots gained or maintained their final qualifications for Southern Frontier, strengthening the squadrons overall combat readiness.

These aerial maneuvers allow pilots to fly below 500 feet to evade enemy radar detection and sneak up on targets undetected or escape enemy aircraft that are vectored toward friendly aircraft.

“Low-altitude tactics are used to defeat early warning and target tracking radar from surface to air missile systems, or radar from ground controlled intercepts attempting to keep us from achieving our targets,” said U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Clayton Harlin, an F/A-18C Hornet pilot and low altitude tactics instructor. “We use the terrain to mask ourselves by flying down low.”

The pilots progressively evolved their training regiment, starting with single-attack operations, then moving onto section attacks, and then ultimately a division formation involving multiple aircraft and assets.

While on their six-month rotation to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, VMFA-122 did not have

the opportunity to engage this specific training. The unit used Southern Frontier’s open air spaces and terrain to execute this training.

“Low-altitude tactics are skillsets to safely operate in a low-altitude environment,” said Harlin. “This training is ideal on a range where we have mountainous terrain to simulate low altitude ingress to a target area.

That’s hard to do here because it’s so flat, but there is great value in training here because it gets our pilots used to flying down low and knowing what they have to do to take care of all the tasks in the cockpit while trying not to hit the terrain.”

Flying so low comes with great risks and requires unwavering concentration. While keeping an eye on the landscape and watching for other aircraft and threats, pilots also need to execute the basic fighbting attack tactics.

“There is a lot going on all at once,” said U.S. Marine Corps Andrew Thomas, F/A-18C Hornet Pilot assigned to VMFA-122. “The major risk is hitting the ground and birds. Taking your eye off the terrain at 10,000 feet may be easy but you can’t do it at low-altitude.”

Low-altitude tactics instructors mitigated those risks for the squadron. Instructors ensure the junior pilots are trained in accordance with the training and readiness manual and program guide, while adhering to very strict rules.

“To earn low-altitude tactics instructor I utilized a

Two F/A-18C Hornets with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 122 prepare for takeoff during Southern Frontier at Royal Australian Air Force Base Tindal, Australia, Aug. 31, 2016. The Hornet squadron performed low-altitude tactics training throughout the last week of training, allowing the pilots to gain confidence in low flying and simultaneously conducting air-to-surface maneuvers. Southern Frontier is a three week unit level training helping pilots gain experience and qualifications in low-altitude tactics, close air support, and air ground, high explosive ordnance delivery.

simulator and now here at Southern Frontier, I will execute three flights incorporating everything I have learned about low-altitude tactics,” said Thomas. “With this qualification I can teach our newer pilots the techniques, maneuvers and low-altitude attacks.”

Consistent practice and training of low flying rigs the brain to think through the risks and helps diminish fatalities, according to Thomas. Pilots must continue to build the skills of low-altitude training to maintain their levels of qualification for future operations.

“It may sound silly in this day and age to think about guys going in at low-altitude, chucking and jiving through mountains when we have stealth airplanes and standoff weapons, but this is an entirely possible skillset for the future,” said Harlin. “The threat is never going to change and going in low to a target is one more way we can exploit an enemy weakness. Always having a cadre of pilots who are prepared to execute it, teach it and keep it a part of our community is a very valuable asset.”

Harlin added flying low to the ground builds a whole new level of confidence and skills that can be used in any other part of aviation.

“Southern Frontier is a great opportunity for all the pilots to refresh and pick up qualifications,” said Harlin. “I have no doubt that we will fly out of here prepared to face any situation.”

Marines have landed: First ever Los Angeles Fleet Week Story and photos by: Sgt. Richardo Hurtado I Marine Expeditionary Force

Pfc. Luis Moreno, a combat engineer with 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, I Marine Expeditionary Force, requests permission to board the USS America at Naval Base San Diego, Calif., Aug. 29, 2016. The ship will carry Marines, Sailors, and Coast Guardsmen to Los Angeles Fleet Week, Sept. 2 – Sept. 5. Fleet Weeks are annual patriotic events where active Navy and Coast Guard ships dock in major U.S. cities giving Marines, sailors and Coast Guardsmen an opportunity to interact with locals. This is the first year L.A. has hosted an official Fleet Week event.

The ship will carry Marines, Sailors, and Coast Guardsmen to Los Angeles Fleet Week, Sept. 2 – Sept. 5. Fleet Weeks are annual patriotic events where active Navy and Coast Guard ships dock in major U.S. cities giving Marines, Sailors and Coast Guardsmen an opportunity to interact with locals.

This is the first year L.A. has hosted an official Fleet Week event.

SAN DIEGO --U.S. Marines with I Marine Expeditionary Force and Sailors assigned to U.S. Third Fleet aboard several San Diego-based U.S. Navy vessels will dock at the Port of Los Angeles from 30 to Sept. 6, 2016 to celebrate the first Los Angeles Fleet Week.

Fleet week is a celebration of the sea services, which Marines and Sailors from U.S. Navy ships make a major city a port of call. It is a Naval-American tradition that dates back to World War II. For more than a decade, the Port of L.A. has been the venue for Navy Days.

L.A. Navy Days is an event that, similar to fleet week, showcases Navy and Marine Corps capabilities, but at a smaller scale.

A collective effort between military and civilian agencies led to the request to amplify the festivities and change from Navy Days to Fleet Week.

Arley M. Baker, senior director, Port of L.A. Communications Group, said that the Port of L.A. has a strong history working with the Navy.

“There’s a tremendous amount of resources that the Navy-Marine Corps team, the Port of L.A., the city and a variety of public agencies put into these types of visits,” Baker said. “By super-sizing Navy Days, we strongly felt that we could maximize on the core goal of facilitating meaningful interactions between the Sea Services and citizenry. This led us to approach (U.S. Third) Fleet last year about bringing a Fleet Week to L.A.” U.S. Third Fleet will bring their Sailors and naval assets to this year’s LAFW, as they usually do for Fleet Weeks along the west coast, while I MEF will showcase its Marine Corps war fighting, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief capabilities on ship and ashore to highlight the abilities of the Navy-Marine Corps team.

Over 170 Marines based at Camp Pendleton and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar make up Marine Task Force Los Angeles this year. The Marine LA Fleet Week Task Force command element is made up of Marines from Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369 (HMLA-369), 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and is led by Lt. Col. Nathan S. Marvel, HMLA-369’s commanding officer.

Marvel said LA Fleet Week is a good opportunity for the Marines to interact with the L.A. community and show them what the Navy-Marine Corps team is capable of in defense of the nation.

“All three major elements of the (Marine Air-Ground Task Force), also

known as a MAGTF, will be on display during Fleet Week,” Marvel said.

“Visitors will be able to interact with our Ground Combat, Logistics Combat and Aviation Combat Elements of the MAGTF. There will be vehicles, ground support equipment and aircraft on display. Additionally the Marines of Task Force Los Angeles will be out participating in a multitude of activities to include community relations activities, social events and sports competitions.”

Marvel added that the task force is composed of Marine units that have a long-standing history in the region.

“Southern California is our home,” Marvel said. The units that make up this MAGTF are stationed across Southern California. This is a great opportunity for our neighbors and fellow citizens to get to know the Marines and for the Marines to thank the community for their support.”

The ships will parade into the Port of L.A. on Aug. 30, which will officially kick off LAFW. Baker said the port is ready to host the ships and the service members on board, and encourages them and the community to explore the area and enjoy the festivities.

“LA Fleet Week will be an outstanding opportunity for the men and women of the Marines, Navy and Coast Guard to visit and interact with the greater Southern California community in a number of meaningful ways,” Baker said.

Baker went on to add that both, service members and community will have the opportunity to participate in various events throughout the week.

“Our hope is that the Marines and Sailors will explore the local downtown and waterfront areas, so they get a flavor of the L.A. Waterfront,” Baker said. “This is one of the oldest and proudest communities in L.A., and they are very excited to welcome the Marines and Sailors.”

Some of the events scheduled for LA Fleet Week include aircraft flyovers, military and first-responder displays, a science, technology, engineering and mathematics exposition, food, entertainment and a variety of other fun activities, as well as a Labor Day morning “Conquer the Bridge” race.

If you want to see more of the Navy-Marine Corps team, see them at San Diego Fleet Week. Sept. 10-15 where Marines and Sailors will kick off the event with the Sea and Air Parade beginning the five days of ship tours, static displays, military band performances and more.

Or, check out the Marine Corps’ largest airshow in the country, the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Airshow from Sept. 23-25 in San Diego.
