On June 19, 2014, President Barack Obama will award Corporal William “Kyle” Carpenter, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret), the Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry. Corporal Carpenter will receive the Medal of Honor for his courageous actions while serving as an Automatic Rifleman with Company F, 2d Battalion, 9th Marines, Regimental Combat Team 1, 1st Marine Division (Forward), I Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

The White House announced Marine veteran Cpl. William “Kyle” Carpenter will receive the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions in Marjah, Helmand province, Afghanistan.
Carpenter will receive the medal from President Barack Obama, June 19. He will be the eighth living recipient of the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan. On Nov. 21, 2010, Taliban insurgents initiated an attack on Carpenter’s squad, part of Company F, 2nd Battalion, 9th
Marine Regiment. Carpenter, the squad automatic rifleman for his fire team, and Lance Cpl. Nicholas Eufrazio were holding a rooftop security position when a hand grenade was thrown their way. Without hesitation, Carpenter reacted, rushing toward the grenade in an attempt to shield his brother-in-arms from its blast.
The grenade detonated with Carpenter’s body taking the majority of the blast. Carpenter lay on the rooftop, barely clinging to life; his fellow Marine also severely wounded. see

President nominates Dunford for 36th CMC Jamie Locker

President Barack Obama has nominated Marine Corps Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., who has commanded U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan since February 2013, to be the 36th commandant of the Marine Corps, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced today. If confirmed by the Senate, Dunford will succeed Gen. James F. Amos in the top Marine Corps post.
Hagel said in a statement that he is “delighted that President Obama accepted my recommendation to nominate General Joe Dunford to serve as the 36th Commandant of the Marine Corps.” Hagel added, “Joe is an extraordinary leader who has always been faithful to his country and his Marines during more than 35 years in uniform. The president and I have greatly relied on Joe’s steady leadership as the commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. Thanks to his exceptional abilities, and his commitment to the men and women under his command, we have made progress in Afghanistan and remain on track to responsibly bring America’s longest war to an end later this year. “No one is better suited to write the next chapter in Marine Corps history than Joe Dunford,” the secretary continued, “and I look forward to working with him in his new role upon his confirmation by the U.S. Senate.” Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren said there isn’t a timeline for Dunford’s transition out of Afghanistan, and did not say who will replace him there. see

Parris Island ASF Marines feel the burn at Fightertown Cpl. Brendan Roethel Staff Writer
In the blink of an eye, a blast of oleoresin capsicum spray lands on a Marines face. when the spray ran down their foreheadsand settled in their skin and eyes, Marines exhibited uncontrollable tearing, coughing, choking plus an extreme burning sensation on any exposed skin from the OC spray. This is how Marines from Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island’s Auxiliary Security Force began their OC Contamination training at the Provost Marshal’s Office aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, June 3.
The purpose of the OC Contamination training was to instruct Marines how to augment the military police in providing an overall security of the installation. Trained ASF Marines are used to augment military police officers during potential force protection condition escalations, and to execute other security-related operations for the installation. “The usage of OC spray in training is important for the ASF Marines to understand the effectiveness of the compliance technique,” said Howard Schappee, an instructor for the Provost Marshal’s Office. see

A power trip
Lt.Twig Sargent
MCAS Beaufort Staff Chaplain
In 1979, Bob Dylan touched a cultural nerve with his Grammy award winning song, “Gotta Serve Somebody.” Dylan sings, “Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you’re gonna have to serve somebody.” Everybody serves somebody. Whether you are a Marine/Sailor under the CO’s command, a driver obeying (hopefully) traffic laws, or a child obeying his parents. Everybody is under someone else’s control. Dylan hints that the person holding the power may or may not use his power for your good, but nevertheless, all of us serve somebody. Sometimes, those over us misuse their power. Hopefully, in these cases, we have a way to receive true justice (civil/military laws, appealing to the chain of command, writing your Congressman/woman, right to a trial by your peers, etc.). In these cases, abuse of power needs correction. But before you turn this into a “blame-it-on-someone-else” moment, let me tell you a story.
I once heard a story of a girl, named Katherine who was 9 or 10 years old and her younger brother named Billy. Billy had a several dimes in his piggy bank. Knowing what was in Billy’s piggy bank, Katherine hatched a scheme. “Hey Billy,” she said, “will you trade me my nickels for your dimes? The nickels are bigger. Don’t you want to have the “bigger” coins?” Billy thought, “Bigger is better. If nickels are bigger than dimes, they must be worth more.” Billy agreed and Joanna gladly gave him her nickels for his dimes. Joanna tells us a lot about ourselves. We are all are in positions of power. We may not be the officer in charge of squadron “x” or section “y,” but all of us have power over someone else. We may be parents over our children, Corporals in charge of a fire team or older sisters with younger brothers. I venture to say that all of us have been Katherine’s position, using our power to benefit ourselves firstly and foremost. My question to you is “How do you use the power you have been given?” Do you use your power ALWAYS to benefit others and not only for
personal gain? If the answer is not “always,” then you have abused the power that you have been given (like me). All of us then are on both sides of the equation; both having received abuse from another’s misuse power AND misusing the power we have been given. So what then do we do? The answer can be humbling. You see, in both cases the answer lies outside of ourselves. When we are the abused person, we are to seek justice outside of ourselves. Hopefully, true justice is served. But the in the other case (that we sometimes abuse power), this also lies outside of ourselves. As we see that our neighbor is much like us, then we can practice forgiveness towards each other. “Love your neighbor as yourself,” the Bible says in Leviticus 19:18. But the answer lies outside of ourselves deeper still. Full forgiveness must come from someone who ALWAYS uses his power for our benefit. God in his grace is in the midst of a rescue mission by means of One who ALWAYS uses His power to benefit others. He uses his power to rescue us from the wrongs done to us AND the wrongs done BY us.
Steps to a resilient self Insight: Keep a journal. Good and bad. Don’t judge- just write, daily. Independence: Resist the temptation to define your life by your problems. Experience other parts of your life, while you take steps to heal where you hurt. In a word- get the good parts unstuck from the challenges! Relationships: Relax ½ hour a day with other people. Get a mentor. Initiative: Take small steps toward big goals. Face a fear a day.
Creativity: Dance, draw. Play music or listen, watch and appreciate. Humor: Purposely laugh! Find ways to laugh at yourself. Keep your pain in perspective. Morality: Develop and act with compassion for others. Belong to a group which has compassion as it’s foundational motivation. Here is a place to start! You have survived much! Now it is time to thrive! Call us, your chaplains – if you need a little help to get started!

“OC spray can be utilized as a distraction or alternate means of force. By experiencing the spray firsthand, it reinforces the need for ASF Marines to use restraint when applying incapacitation devices. It also lets the Marines understand that if they are contaminated by the spray while providing security or engaging a threat they can still continue to function and provide security.” After receiving instructions on how to navigate the OC course, and endure the non-lethal weapons burning sensation, it was time for the Marines to put what they learned to the test. Schappee lined up the Marines, stood three paces away and sprayed the OC in their faces. After being sprayed, the Marines had to navigate through an obstacle course of Marines holding pads, representing potential attackers. The ASF Marines had to fight through the course by throwing punches, knee strikes and baton strikes.
For Cpl. Michael Joseph, a musician with the Parris Island Marine Band, this was his first time being exposed to OC spray. “It’s not bad at first because you don’t feel it right away since your eyes are closed, but when it hit me, it felt like my face was on fire,” Joseph said. “I couldn’t open my eyes at all. Being in the sun made it worse and running around engaging the targets made me sweat, which opened my pours and made the effects of the spray much stronger.” “Throughout the course, we witnessed exactly what we were looking for,” Schappee said. “The objective was for the Marines to assess the situation, push through the effects of the spray and de-escalate the situation by using verbal commands, physical force and compliance techniques. They all did a great job and now know first-hand just how much they can accomplish even after being affected by the spray.” The Provost Marshal’s Office aboard the Air Station provides law enforcement, investigative, and security services to MCAS Beaufort, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and Naval Hospital Beaufort, S.C.

Splash through summer safely: swimming, boating Cpl. Sarah Cherry Staff Writer
Swimming is the most popular summer activity, according to the American Red Cross, but comes with a variety of hazards. Boating is also a popular summer activity, and results in hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries and millions of dollars in property damage, according to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Boating Safety Division. These swimming and boating hazards can be mitigated by using operational risk management, using designated areas, avoiding alcohol, and being aware of potential hazards. Swimmers should be aware of currents, waves, and local
wildlife in the area. Swimming conditions in the ocean can change quickly. “Know your surroundings and be cautious,” said Darlene Ellington, an outdoor recreation assistant at the Marine Corps Community Services outdoor recreation equipment issue aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. Rip currents, powerful channels of water pulling away from the shore, account for more than 80 percent of rescues by beach lifeguards and caused 64 deaths last year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Rip currents can pull swimmers into deeper water in the ocean and large lakes, and may result in death by drowning due
to exhaustion or poor swimming skills. To escape from a rip current, do not swim directly against the current. Swim parallel to the shore until out of the current before swimming back to shore, or relax and float before swimming diagonally back to shore. Waves can also be hazardous. Shorebreak, waves that break directly on the shoreline, can cause neck or spinal injuries or death. In addition to these hazards, dangerous wildlife exists that includes sharks and alligators. Do not feed or attempt to play with sharks or alligators. Stay close to the shore and in groups to avoid sharks, according to NOAA. Sharks are
most active at night, have an acute sense of smell and see contrast well, so avoid swimming at night, while bleeding, or while wearing bright colors or shiny jewelry. Do not harass alligators or corner alligators, and do not attempt to pet or hold young alligators. Do not swim in water known to be home to large alligators. If there may be alligators near swimmers, splashing is not advised because alligators associate splashing with injured prey. Safety while boating is also imperative. “You have to be familiar and have experience with whatever watercraft equipment you have,” said Ellington. “If you aren’t, you can hurt yourself or others.”
Before taking a boat on the water, boaters should fill out a float plan detailing where you will be for how long and leave it with a responsible individual, check the weather, and grab a buddy. The battery charge, fuel and lights on the boat should be in working condition, and a fire extinguisher should be available on the boat. If possible, boaters should carry a cell phone. While on the water, have a life jacket for each person and know the navigation aids and buoy systems in the area. If a storm develops, stay low in the boat and head into the wind. All passengers should wear life jackets in storms. Kayakers, canoers and
stand-up paddle-boarders should always wear a lifejacket and whistle except to swim. Paddlers should be knowledgeable of the tides in the Beaufort area because they can change by seven or eight feet rapidly, leaving paddlers stuck in the mud and giving boaters a bigger risk of grounding. Tides can be found online, but boaters and paddlers should learn how to recognize changing tides, as predictions aren’t always accurate.

Fightertown goes green, exceeds expectations Cpl. Sarah Cherry Staff Writer
Aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, there are a number of energy saving, environmentally friendly efforts in place including a geothermal plant, solar panels and numerous projects focused on reducing energy use in the Bachelor Enlisted Quarters aboard the Air Station. While large-scale efforts are impactful, helping the Air Station meet its goal in 2012 to reduce energy usage by 30 percent, individual efforts can produce equal benefits. “We’ve met our goal but we’re still conducting projects to further reduce energy usage,” said Neil Tisdale, utilities
director and energy manager aboard the Air Station, in 2012. The efforts of individuals aboard the Air Station can directly impact the environment. Pollution prevention and minimizing impact play a large role, according to the commanding officer’s environmental policy statement. To save energy, unplug electronics and chargers when not in use, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, and turn lights off when not at home. Water conservation is important for the environment and for saving money, according to the City of Savannah environmental affairs.
Beaufort county water primarily comes from the Savannah River through the Upper Floridian Aquifer, according to the City of Beaufort and the City of Savannah. This water source supplies water to a large portion of Georgia and South Carolina. The more water pulled from these sources, the greater the risk of saltwater contaminating the source of fresh drinking water, according to the City of Savannah. To conserve water, fix leaks immediately. Turn off faucets while not in use, and shorten showers. Water plants during the cooler hours of the day. Do not throw away hazardous materials such as oils, paints or chemicals in
dumpsters. Hazardous materials should be turned in to the Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Office, which can be contacted at228-6461. Littering can directly and indirectly harm the environment, according to the environmental protection agency. Wildlife can ingest or become entangle in trash, and the same trash can also kill plants, according to the EPA. Batteries and recyclable materials should also be appropriately disposed of. For information on the MCAS recycle program, call 228-7694. “It’s good to be a good steward of our environment,” said Tisdale. “We all live here.”

PMO conducts annual DUIdetection training MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. -- Marines and police officers with the Provost Marshal’s Office participated in annual driving-under-the-influence detection training aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., June 4. Marines and police officers attended the training in order to get a better understanding of the effects of alcohol and the detection of intoxicated drivers. “It helps the police officers to properly identify and evaluate intoxicated drivers, whether it is alcohol or narcotics, to make the installation a safer place for everybody,” said Jose Maldonado, lead instructor with Homeland Security Solutions, Inc. Marine volunteers consumed alcoholic beverages to help the trainees better understand the effects of alcohol and how to detect DUIs. The training tested the Marines’ and police officers‘ ability to conduct a field sobriety test. “Getting to see how alcohol affects people helps us out a lot because when you are in a real-life situation, you want to know what you’re looking for, and if you can see it beforehand, it definitely helps,” said Lance Cpl. Valorie Watson, a military police officer with PMO. The training gives the Marines and police officers the ability to better detect intoxicated drivers and increase the level of safety aboard the air station.

1st LAR Highlander Games Warrior Night burns late into night MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. -- Nearly 760 Marines with 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion participated in the annual Highlander Games Warrior Night aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., June 5. 1st LAR, whose Marines are nicknamed “The Highlanders” after famous Scottish warriors of the 18th and 19th centuries, uses the event each year as a touchstone to the warriors after whom they are named. The occasion, which aimed to develop unit camaraderie and esprit de corps, included a 4-mile hike from Camp Las Flores to Red Beach. Upon arrival at Red Beach, Marines shared dinner, and enjoyed each other’s company. Sgt. Colton Hoffman, a platoon sergeant with 1st LAR, Headquarters and Service Company, said the event is a battalion tradition and has been taking place since 1998. Year after year, the Highlander Games Warrior Night allows Marines to celebrate accomplishments, brotherhood and reminisce about past experiences and those who have gone before them. Hoffman said the anticipation of the Highlander Games Warrior Night grows among Marines of 1st LAR every year. Soon after dinner, Marines began competing in the Highlander Games. Hoffman said that companies compete during the games to take home the Claymore, a sword built by their engineer shop. The games were composed of events such as grappling, bull in the ring, iron man team, tire race, and a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle pull. One of the highlights of the games is the caber toss, in which a heavy, tapered pole is lobbed for distance. Lt. Col. Gilbert Juarez, the battalion commander for 1st LAR, who will be leaving the battalion this year, said he wanted to be part of Warrior Night one more time prior to his departure. “I’ve spent 25 percent of my active duty commissioned time in this battalion; to me this is my family and this is a big part of a family tradition,” said Juarez. “It’s something I want to make sure it gets passed on to the next generations. It’s extremely important to me.” Throughout the night, Marines also enjoyed live music and a bonfire which carried on up until midnight.
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan -Marines with 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, continued force protection operations in the nearby village of Larr, May 15 to 17. “We went in there with the desired effect of disrupting a potential command and control node for insurgency and also to answer some intelligence-driven requests,” said 1st Lt. Walter Mack, the executive officer of Bravo Company, 1st Bn., 7th Marines, and a native of New York City. Bravo Co.’s mission was to conduct a hasty clear of the village while Weapons Co. provided a security cordon around the outside perimeter. As the infantrymen of Weapons Co. departed Camp Leatherneck for Larr Village on a mounted vehicle patrol, Bravo Co. prepared at the Camp Bastion flightline to travel by CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters. Once Weapons Co. arrived at Larr Village and established a security cordon, the Bravo Co. Marines were in the bellies of the Super Stallions enroute to the
area. The Marines sat patiently in the small canvas seats as wind gushed about them. Within minutes of take-off they arrived at their objective and offloaded the helicopters under the cover of night. The Bravo Co. Marines established security from their dismounted positions in wadis and fields, then maneuvered into the village at first light to establish a patrol base. Patrol bases are areas out of which Marines can eat, sleep and operate while staying near an objective. “It was really nice operating out of a patrol base because we were able to go out and interact with the locals more,” said Cpl. Phillip Jacoby, an assistant patrol leader with Bravo Co. and a native of Kalamazoo, Michigan. “It was great to get the opportunity to build relationships with the local Afghans.” For the following 48 hours the infantrymen conducted partnered patrols throughout Larr Village with Afghan National Army soldiers, while Weapons Co. continued to maintain the security cordon to ensure the patrols’ safety. The Marines conducted several security patrols to disrupt enemy fighters in the area and utilized the ANA soldiers to
search compounds of interest for hazardous materials. “Throughout the compounds we found different objects that we thought could be linked to improvised explosive device materials,” said 2nd Lt. Zachary Geelan, a platoon commander with Bravo Co. and a native of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. “We took the suspected objects off of the battlefield and eliminated the potential threat.” During the second day of the mission, Weapons Co. pushed Marines to outlying areas of the village in an attempt to discover weapons caches. As they maneuvered closer to the suspected caches the infantrymen received sporadic smallarms and machinegun fire as well as grenade-launcher fire. The Marines returned fire for a short duration before the insurgents retreated and blended back in with the local populace. Following the two days of patrols, Bravo Co. departed the patrol base to be extracted from the area by helicopters while Weapons Co. provided security once again. The two companies safely returned to Camp Leatherneck with each Marine and the mission complete.

IMPERIAL, Calif. - In response to an AV-8B Harrier II crash in a residential area of Imperial, Calif., Wednesday, Navy and Marine Corps personnel, as well as local firefighters, policemen, and government officials, have been hard at work at the scene resolving the crisis and conducting the recovery process. Military personnel from Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Ariz., MCAS Miramar, Calif., and Naval Air Facility El Centro, Calif., traveled quickly from their resident installations on June 4 to partner with emergency responders from the local area. The quick actions by all parties involved mitigated damage from this tragic accident. “The crash truck…focused on the crash debris from the aircraft… and the two fire engines went to each side of the structures on fire and began an aggressive attack to contain the fires,” said Tony Rouhotas Jr., the fire chief of Imperial County Fire Department and the office of emergency services coordinator. “I was very pleased with my personnel and the response… We did an outstanding job for an incident you do not
encounter on a daily basis.” From the start, military and civilian organizations have been working side-by-side to safely and efficiently recover the affected area. As of Friday, military cleanup operations are taking place at the scene, and military investigators work diligently at the epicenter of the impact to gather evidence vital to discovering the cause of the crash. In conjunction with the investigation, recovery efforts also focus on the center of the site, collecting every piece of the aircraft possible, large and small. Over the coming days, heavy military equipment will be used in the area for cleanup purposes, and residents are advised to follow the instructions of military personnel on-scene to ensure their safety, which is the top priority of the Marine Corps. Already, instrumentation has been installed to monitor levels of airborne particulates at the crash site and surrounding area, to ensure safe air quality. Should levels become higher than normal, local residents will be informed immediately. Local and military officials have been working tirelessly to significantly reduce
the impact the recovery process has on the community. From sunrise to sundown, the Marines of Marine Wing Support Squadron 371 have been cleaning the area, trying to restore the neighborhood quickly with as little disruption to the surrounding area as possible. Additionally, the cordon perimeter has been made smaller to allow the community a semblance of normalcy in their day-to-day lives. More importantly, after extensive coordination between military and city water department officials, the affected families had very little disruption in their utilities during excavation. Furthermore, the MCAS Yuma environmental department has been conducting operations to make sure the local environment is properly cared for. Soil samples have been taken during excavation to determine the extent of contamination in the soil, and what needs to be done to repair any damage. Even after cleanup is complete, the environmental department will stay involved in the area to restore it completely. Through these efforts and future planning, the Marine Corps maintains that the safety and support of the families affected is their first priority.
“Lone Star” battalion maintains readiness during annual training Capt. David David U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa
FORT POLK, LA. -- The trait of being always ready has been a part of the Marine Corps’ ethos for more than 238 years. 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment held true to this standard during their annual training here, June 1 – 11. In order to maintain their readiness, 1/23 took part in numerous field exercises specific to each job skill. These exercises included: weapons training, grenade qualification, gas chambert, demolition, and live-fire ranges. “It helps us stay proficient with our weapon systems,” said Pfc. Cody L. Cummings, a machine gunner from Maud, Texas. “Any problems that we run into can be addressed here so that in a real-life scenario, we’ll know what to do.” After completing multiple live-fire ranges, each company participated in coordinated platoon-sized attacks. Each squad played a key role in assaulting mock enemy objectives. “We have to be proficient in our job so that the whole unit can be successful,” said Lance Cpl. Eduardo Castellanos, a machine gunner from San Antonio. “Without good suppressing fire from machine guns, the company’s rifle squads can’t maneuver safely to their objective.” As a Reserve unit, 1/23 typically meets one weekend a month and only two full weeks a year. Even though these Marines take advantage of the time they are given on drill weekends, there is only so much that can be done in a two-day period. The importance and value of annual training cannot be overstated, especially since this opportunity only presents itself once a year. “We don’t always get to put as many rounds down range as we do [at AT], which is why we have to make the best of it,” said Cpl. Alexander Gil, a section leader with Company A. “You
have to train like you fight and for us it’s even more important because we don’t do this every day.” With a combat deployment to Afghanistan under his belt, Gil knows firsthand how important training like this can be. “I try to give as much guidance as I can to ensure the Marines under me are confident and ready to go at a moment’s notice,” Gil, a native of Houston, explained. “When they do deploy, they’re going to be attached to different units and I won’t be there to guide them. They need to be the expert at their job and perform when it really counts.” More often than not a Marine Corps Reserve unit does not deploy as a whole. Instead, it is divided into smaller detachments to fill gaps within the active duty component and facilitate the employment of the total force.
MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII -- Exercise Island Viper was conducted to train three of the four infantry battalion core mission essential tasks; amphibious operations, offensive operations and stability operations. During this training the unit focused on small unit-level leadership in order to increase their lethality and ability to fight whenever the battalion is called upon to fight. They conducted a live-fire squad attack, helicopter-borne operations, amphibious operations with amphibious assault vehicles and stability operations all led by the enlisted Marines at the squad leader level. The regiment’s intent during this exercise was to develop and empower its noncommissioned officers. The Marines were evaluated by their noncommissioned officers and senior noncommissioned officers on their small unit leadership, weapons proficiency and lethality. “All of our expectations and training objectives were met,” said Master Gunnery Sgt. Donald Wilson, 3rd Bn., 3rd Marines operations chief. “The battalion looks forward to conducting more advanced exercises and refining our readiness during upcoming exercises like (Rim of the Pacific) and Desert Talon.” “We are taking TBS training to the next level through the use of unmanned ISR and encouraging student officers to include some basic aviation considerations into their mission planning,” Fukushima said. “Through early exposure to a variety of aviation assets at TBS, the idea is to foster greater air-ground integration and enable students to be successful in the future.”
BSRF-14 Marines, sailors train in mountains MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.-- More than 100 Marines with Engineer Company, Marine Wing Support Squadron 271 participated in a field exercise here May 27 through June 2. MWSS-271’s mission is to provide aviation ground support assets to fixed-wing components of an Aviation Combat Element and Marine Air Control Groups. The exercise was conducted to enhance the experience of junior Marines and expand their knowledge by teaching them the fundamentals of their military occupational specialty, which ensures the company is prepared to accomplish tasked missions. “The purpose of this field training exercise it to focus our training to encompass those vital tasks that are necessary to achieve proficiency in survivability and force protection,” said Master Sgt. Kent Corbett, the engineer company operation chief with the squadron. The Marines were tasked with demolition, providing hygiene and power needs, conducting route reconnaissance, and building timber framed shelters, HESCO bunkers and tank ditches. Marines depend on each other to complete a mission, which builds camaraderie and strengthens unit cohesion, according to Corbett. The water support technicians with the squadron use the Tactical Water Purification System to meet water needs. The heavy equipment operators, drafter and surveyors and heavy equipment mechanics worked to complete a Hesco bunker, a guard post and tank ditch that provides the company with defense capabilities during enemy attacks. “The company comes out here, we work, learn and strengthen, not just the unit, but ourselves and in turn, the squadron is successful and that’s what’s it all about — strengthening the Corps, said Corbett.”

A selfless action and a hellish tragedy happened in the blink of an eye, leaving both Carpenter and Eufrazio with painstaking recoveries. Carpenter suffered severe injuries from the blast. Much of his jaw was rebuilt and he lost his right eye; he sustained countless shattered bones throughout his body and a collapsed right lung. He endured a strenuous recovery process at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Md. After two and a half years, Carpenter was medically retired from the Marine Corps on July 30, 2013. “I look back and I’m actually very appreciative I had those two and a half years because those years put things in perspective more than a whole lifetime of things could if I wasn’t there,” Carpenter said. Carpenter’s mind and emotions were not left unscarred either. The hardest part was dealing with letting others help, he said. “Going from toting a machinegun in Afghanistan … to using a bed pan, and I can’t even put my own socks on — that was hard to kind of suck it up,” Carpenter said. Although the recovery process seemed endless and small tasks required assistance, Carpenter overcame the odds and has a new outlook on life from the entire tragedy, he said. He is grateful for all the help and support he received. “I’ve just been very fortunate that I’ve had not only my family, but friends, Marines and the community of South Carolina,” Carpenter said,

“Early on in my recovery, the entire United States seemed to be supportive. Letters flooded in from all over the place, so from the second I woke up in the hospital, I’ve always had a great team and great people. I’ve been very fortunate.” Even with such a great honor bestowed on him, he remains humble. “As many firefights and instances where there’s been opportunity, Marines have stepped up to the plate — not only in Iraq and Afghanistan but since the beginning of our country,” Carpenter said “So I truly feel like I’m on an even playing field.” Carpenter was born in Flowood, Miss., but resides in South Carolina. He is now a full-time student at the University of South Carolina, but does miss the Marine Corps, he said. Looking back at his time in the Corps, Carpenter’s fondest memories are being deployed with his fellow Marines in Afghanistan. To him, nothing will compare to months without a shower, sleeping in the dirt and being with 50 of his best friends. “If I look at it that way, I’m very thankful for Afghanistan and it really means a lot to me,” Carpenter said. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.” Carpenter’s awards include the Purple Heart Medal, the Navy Marine Corps Achievement Medal, the Combat Action Ribbon, the Navy Unit Commendation Medal, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal with one bronze campaign star, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon with one bronze star, North Atlantic Treaty Organization Medal International Security Assistance Force, and a Rifle Sharpshooter Badge.
