During the training VMFA-312, also known as the Checkerboards, participated in scenarios pitting their F/A-18C Hornets against F-15 Eagles from Florida Air National Guard’s 125th Fighter Wing and F-16 Falcons from South Carolina Air National Guard’s 169th Fighter Wing. The Checkerboards also flew with assets from Navy Strike Fighter Squadrons 32 (VFA-32) and 105 (VFA-105), utilizing F/A-18F Super Hornets and F/A-18E Super Hornets respectively.
Range Company Marines get an adrenaline rush Cpl. John Wilkes Press Chief
Marines with Range Company, Weapons and Field Training Battalion aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island participated in Operation Adrenaline Rush at the James Island County Park in Charleston, S.C., Aug. 22. Operation Adrenaline Rush combines combat and operational stress control principles with an outdoor recreation adventure activity to aid in mitigating
boredom and high-risk behavior of recently deployed Marines and sailors. OAR also helps build unit cohesion, esprit de corps, morale, and communication amongst Marines. “These Marines work from sun up to sun down,” said Capt. Chris Davis, the commanding officer of Range Co. “They work in a high stress environment and are responsible for teaching thousands see

Like father, like son
Cpl. Brendan Roethel
In 1986, Richard Burris took the challenge of going through the rigorous 13week training that is Marine Corps boot camp. Nearly three decades later, Burris’ son followed in those same yellow footsteps that transform young adults into Marines. Now a master gunnery sergeant in the Marine Corps, Burris is known throughout the field of correctional specialists by name and by reputation. His position as the technical advisor at the Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston speaks well of his experience as a leader; leadership that spans not only through the enlisted ranks but carries over to officers. Naturally, his leadership transferred over to his family of five. The story is common in the military; following a family tradition and serving country. What isn’t common is the opportunity for father and son to serve side by side in the same work environment. Private First Class Kaelen Burris, a correctional specialist with the Naval Consolidated Brig v shipped to those same yellow footsteps in October 2013. Upon graduation, Kaelen, who had originally enlisted for reconnaissance in the infantry, was designated a correctional specialist after sustaining injuries during his initial training. “[When] I went through [Infantry Training Battalion] I had an issue with my right knee but didn’t go to medical for it,” said Kaelen, a 21-year-old native of

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort ended its 6th Annual Feds Feed Families Campaign to support food insecure households in the surrounding communities, Aug. 28. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the donations from the Feds Feed Families food drive are especially important because they come at a time of year when donations traditionally decline. The 6th annual Feds Feed Families campaign collected approximately 4,000 pounds of non-perishable foods aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Laurel Bay, which were donated to the Lowcountry see

Thankful for life’s challenges

U.S. Navy Chaplain Corps
“And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.” I Cor 13: 13 In order for a person to be healthy spiritually they must have in good measure of the values of Faith, Hope, and Love. In order for the Marine Corps to accomplish it mission it has adopted the core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. Aristotle has been noted as suggesting that the way we obtain or strengthen these values in our life is through the actual practice or doing of them. In other words, if you wish to have more “Honor” then do more honorable things. Marines, in part, have a strong measure of these values due to their constant application in the manner in which they conduct their part in the defense of our nation. Faith, Hope, and Love must be grown and understood as well from the communities we belong. Faith as a defined value is related to an individual’s sense of trust. A person may be empowered to trust others or themselves in a variety of circumstances by the quality of the thing, person, or god that they trust. If a person, say, places a great deal of trust in their surrounding family or friends it is because of the exceptional quality of those friends or family members as being trustworthy. God that motivates, supports, or strengthens a person. For example: As a Christian my favorite verse is Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
Hope as a value is related to a person’s sense of purpose. Why do they do the things they do? Whatever drives you to find meaning in life is usually developed from the things you value. For example, as a Christian, the Bible says we serve a “living Hope” my identification with God and His purpose for me drives the value of hope in my life. Love as a value in a person life is derived
on quality when quantity is elusive. Quality in regards to say the value of Love is often best accomplished when you discover your mate’s “Love language.” About six months ago my wife had impressed me with some pretty cool parenting skills with our two little ones. Unfortunately, it happened during a week last summer when at MCRD Parris Island I had over 2500 recruits on deck. In the midst of those long days, I found that time was slipping by too quickly for me to praise her personally for it. So one early morning I simply took a yellow post it note and wrote a simple note of praise and affirmation and posted it on the garage door leading into the house. That was over six months ago and it is still there as a monument of remembrance for my wife of my love and admiration that she has yet to take down. In knowing my wife’s “Love Language” I was able to ensure that my efforts hit their intended mark and communicate effectively how much I love her. Gary Smalley’s book “The Five Love Languages,” describes research that suggests that we give and receive love via one of five ways: Quality Time, Physical Touch, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, and Acts of Service. Tapping into my wife’s particular love language enabled me to express my unconditional commitment to her in a meaningful way. In order for you to know your mates love language just ask. Get the book or look them up online or give me a call sometime I would be glad to help.
“Faith, Hope, and Love must be grown and understood as well from the communities we belong. ”
Lt. Brett Cartwright from the people or community to whom and from whom you give and receive love. The Bible says that “God is Love.” So as a Christian, the value of love in my life is directly derived from my relationship with God. For all, I would argue that healthy spiritual people and families need to define from where they derive the quality of these values and seek to strengthen them in order to survive the challenges that life in the military can present. Time together is perhaps the biggest concern among our Marine families. We all know that there is very little that we can do about it except wait for our loved one to return from deployment or the next leave period. That is why it is extremely important that we focus

Food Bank in Yemassee. From there the food is distributed to 52 local agencies in Beaufort, Hampton, Jasper and Colleton counties, finding its way onto the tables of Americans in need. “Feds Feed Families is a summer long food drive where non-perishable food and other items are collected to support families across America,” said Chief Warrant Officer Michael Chouinard, the Marine Corps Community Services officer for MCAS Beaufort. “Without access to nutrition programs, children and families across the country are at greater risk of hunger during the summer months.” According to the USDA, an estimated 50 million people, or one in six Americans, struggle and face the realities of hunger. Since the campaign began six years ago, federal workers have donated and collected approximately 24 million pounds of food and
other non-perishable goods such as hygiene items to support families across America. “Feds Feed Families is one of our biggest food drives of the year,” said Benton Williams, the regional food center manager for the Lowcountry Food Bank in Yemassee. “It’s a way for us to help act as a support for the times when kids aren’t being fed daily at school for lunch. When those children have that vital source of nutrition cut off during the summer months, Feds Feed Families helps bridge that gap.” The Air Station has already set high goals for next year’s campaign hoping to donate one pound of food per service member, Chouinard said. “Each year, we see that the spirit of generosity and goodwill is strong and alive throughout our nation,” said Karen Comfort, the national program manager for FFF, in a press release. “Thank you to all of you that donated. Your donation, whether big or small, helped impact the lives of those who need it most.”

HMH-462 conducts external lift training with CLR-17 MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. – Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) 462 conducted external cargo lifts in coordination with a Helicopter Support Team with Combat Logistic Regiment 17 aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., Aug. 21. The training gives Marines the ability to quickly transport supplies in unfriendly terrain without having to land the helicopter. However, without the help of HST Marines to attach the cargo, supplies could not be easily moved in a real-life situation. For training purposes, the Marines attached an 8,000 pound beam to two hooks suspended from the bottom of a CH-53E Super Stallion. This training keeps the team and helicopter crew current with procedures required to keep everyone safe while fastening cargo. “We get the hands-on training with our junior Marines so they get the experience to be able to apply it in the field,” said Cpl. Donald Harp, a landing support specialist with Combat Logistics Regiment 17. The HST successfully attached the payload 15 times allowing the pilots to experience the effects of carrying heavy loads. “This type of training is the ‘meat and potatoes’ of the CH-53 community,” said Capt. Christopher Reed, a CH-53E pilot with HMH-462. “We are that logistical combat element for ground units, able to provide support to anyone in the Marine Corps.” The aircraft lifted a total of 120,000 pounds by the time the training ended, giving every Marine multiple repetitions in their respective roles. “We had a lot of good training today with everyone. It’s always fun to go out and perform some external loads,” added Reed. The squadron will continue to train and rehearse with HST Marines to refine their skills so they are ready to provide an external lift at a moment’s notice.
2/11 prepares for future operations MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Marines from 2nd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment participated in a regimental fire exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Aug 18-26. The 11th Marine Regiment uses the summer fire exercise in preparation for upcoming combined arms exercises and potential combat operations abroad. The exercise included loading internally transportable vehicles and mortars on the MV-22 Osprey, live fire from M777 A2 Lightweight Howitzer cannons and external lifts. “We are rehearsing our concept of operations to support 1st Marine Division,” said Col. Christopher A. Tavuchis, commanding officer, 11th Marine Regiment. “We are giving our teams practice working together after our summer rotation, while executing fire plans, counter fire and prosecuting targets.” The exercise allows all supporting units to become comfortable working together. The training brings together cannoneers, ammunition handlers, motor transport operators, Navy hospital corpsmen and communications specialists. “We are doing a lot of stuff we don’t usually do,” said Cpl. John Guevara, artillery cannoneer, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, from Fontana, Calif. “We are firing some charges not normally shot in Camp Pendleton and conducting a helicopter lift that not many of my Marines have been a part of yet.” After touching up on cannon fire procedures, artillery Marines received an opportunity to train with Ospreys from Marine Aircraft Group 16 and assisted in the performance of external lifts and transport of the M777A2 Lightweight Howitzer cannon. The lift helped Marines grow more comfortable with working with aviation assets and prepared them for quick response situations that require new cannon placement. An external lift consists of an aircraft hovering above the cannon as a landing support team connects cables from underneath the aircraft to the cannon. It then ascends, carrying the weapon to another location. Mortar platoons from 11th Marine Regiment further expanded their abilities by learning to load expeditionary fire support systems consisting of a 120mm mortar, ammo trailer and two vehicles on the aircraft as well. “This is what these Marines train to do,” said Tavuchis. “There is no more important thing for us than to train these Marines for combat.”

CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan— Enemy insurgents continue to operate in Helmand province, Afghanistan. To mitigate this threat, infantry units conduct security patrols to build relationships with locals in the surrounding area of Camps Bastion and Leatherneck, and to rid local routes of improvised explosive devices. Marines and sailors with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, donned their gear, mounted in Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles and convoyed approximately three hours south of Camp Leatherneck for a 24-hour security patrol, Aug. 2324. “I feel it was successful,” said Cpl. David Calle, a native of Miami, Florida, and assistant patrol leader with Bravo Co. “Today we got to talk to a couple locals and build rapport with them for
future operations. The more people we can talk to the better our relationship will be while working with them, which gives us a better chance to find hidden IEDs in the area.” Patrolling throughout Helmand province remains dangerous but necessary for the security of the base. “It is very important that everyone pays attention at all times,” said Cpl. Kevin Midgley, a machine gunner with Bravo Co. “There are no guarantees. I am constantly relying on my brothers to watch my back as I watch over theirs.” Infantry Marines are thoroughly trained during predeployment training on what to look for. During several classes, they are taught what IED indicators look like, as well as the protocol for coming across a possible IED. “When there is a possible threat in the area, it is always better to get a visual confirmation on the threat before coming to a conclusion that could cost us time or put ourselves in more of a dan-
gerous situation,” said Midgley, a native of Cleveland. Mivgley also stressed the importance of vehicle maintenance and preparation prior to conducting mounted operations in the area. “Before each operation, the vehicles are prepped and checked thoroughly to make sure there will not be any incidents three hours away from base,” said Midgley. “Everyone with Bravo Co. has been properly trained, and we are ready for anything during future operations.” First Battalion, 2nd Marines deployed to Afghanistan during May from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The Marines and sailors will continue to patrol the surrounding area of the Bastion-Leatherneck complex to ensure the safety of coalition forces operating on the bases until full security responsibility of the area is transferred to the Afghan National Security Forces by the end of the year.

Aircraft Rescue, Firefighting Marines hone techniques
Marines with 1st Platoon, Company B, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, use team combat tactics to maneuver to their extraction point after taking notional enemy contact during a Reconnaissance and Surveillance patrol at Fort Greely, Alaska, August 12. Bravo-1 used the unique terrain and vegetation in Alaska to conduct training R and S training in an environment completely different from what they’re accustomed to.
Bravo-1 takes R&S to Alaska
Lance Cpl. Carson Grimley 1 Marine Expeditionary Force
FORT GREELY, Alaska - Marines and sailors with 1st Platoon, Company B, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion recently completed a 12 day Deployment for Training (DFT) trip to Fort Greely, Alaska, where they performed various types of platoon level training and supported elements of Exercise Red Flag from August 5-17. Bravo-1 used the opportunity of a different landscape and terrain to work on skills they practice regularly aboard Camp Pendleton, but there it was different. While at Fort Greely the platoon completed a Reconnaissance and Surveillance (R&S) package they could do almost anywhere on Pendleton, but the unique terrain and weather conditions presented to them in Alaska gave the training a boost in value. Reconnaissance and Surveillance missions allow recon teams to infiltrate clandestinely in an area past the forward line of troops and gain information that might prove useful for later operations. According to Capt. John Garlasco, Bravo-1 platoon commander,
R&S is a large part of what Reconnaissance Marines are trained for. “Reconnaissance and Surveillance is our bread and butter really, whether it’s urban reconnaissance, rural reconnaissance, vehicle reconnaissance, pretty much gathering information which gets turned into intelligence for a maneuver element,” said Garlasco. These types of patrols allow the operating forces to see what they’re really up against and see things from where an overt force simply couldn’t go. “We take photos and send back imagery, reports and near real-time video to the commander so they can have a better perspective of what’s actually happening on the ground vice some aerial asset looking down on the target; they get the human perspective,” said Gunnery Sgt. Kevin Homestead, Bravo-1 platoon sergeant. Bravo-1’s R and S training mission in Alaska was seemingly simple and quick, avoid possible enemy threats and gather information on the enemy situation, but the Alaska terrain complicated things a bit. What could have been a three hour movement turned into six.
“The environment that they are in here is dramatically different than Camp Pendleton or anywhere else that we’ve been as a platoon. They’re able to take into consideration the terrain, the weather, the local population; and all these elements have to be factored into how close or how far away they need to get to their objective and how quick or slow they can move through the terrain without being detected,” said Garlasco. The platoon’s command agreed that these conditions invoked a valuable training opportunity and created a reference point for future training and operations that might carry Marines into comparable locations. “The more environments we can expose ourselves to prior to deployment, the more capable and ready we are for wherever we get called to do any action throughout the globe,” said Homestead. Company B is scheduled to deploy with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit early next year and uses training like this in hopes of boosting their global readiness for any call the Marine Corps may need them to answer.
HMLA-369 provides realistic urban close air support Cpl. James Marchetti Marine Corps Air Station Yuma
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION YUMA, Ariz. - Marine Light Helicopter Attack Squadron 369 (HMLA-369), based out of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, located to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma from Aug. 17–22 in order to conduct training and take advantage of the station’s vast, detailed ranges. Throughout their visit, HMLA 369 conducted numerous operations at the Yodaville Urban Target Complex, located approximately 20 miles Southeast of MCAS Yuma in the Barry M. Goldwater Range. This massive complex, comprised of more than 100 simulated buildings, acquainted the squadron’s pilots and crew chief door gunners with moving target objectives, an entity that is unavailable to
them while training aboard MCB Pendleton. “Anytime you get exposed to different environments and factors on the job, you’re going to come out better than you were before,” said Cpl Eric Hamer, a crew chief for HMLA 369. “Coming out to Yuma and Yodaville – that’s one of the only times we get to train for urban close air support (CAS), and it’s important we get this kind of training.” According to Hamer, this training benefited the crew chiefs by providing mentorship opportunities through their exposure to these intense and unfamiliar objectives. “Most of gunners are relatively new, so it’s difficult for them to judge the different distances and profiles of targets on top of communicating with the pilots like they should,” said Hamer, a Murray, Iowa, native. “This (urban
CAS) isn’t usually something they would receive training on until later on in their careers. … So for me, as their senior, to be there with them and let them know what needs to be done, and how they need to do it step by step – it makes us all the more combat ready.”
Overall, the squadron expelled thousands of rounds and racked up approximately 150 flight hours during their stint at MCAS Yuma, gleaning a deeper understanding of the aviation combat element, its capabilities and their specific mission in the process.
More than 20 Marines with Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point’s Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting simulated extinguishing aircraft fires to prepare them for the conditions and stressors of real life Aug. 14. “The purpose of this training is to familiarize the Marines with being around fire and the techniques they would use to combat it,” said Cpl. Brian Lorys, an ARFF specialist with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron. The Marines use a Mobile Aircraft Firefighting Training Device to obtain the most realistic training, according to Lorys, a native of Bradley Brook, N.Y. The MAFTD provides several types of training situations for the Marines by releasing fire from different directions at various heights and locations on the aircraft. Everyone who works on a truck is required to conduct the training, said Lorys. “The training helps everyone,” said Lance Cpl. Cory Carden, an ARFF specialist with Marine Wing Support Squadron 274. “For the newer people, it allows them to experience real life situations, and for the people who have been here a while, it keeps everything fresh in their heads and helps build muscle memory.” Each situation the Marines go into during this training simulates a real aircraft fire, said Carden. They must train how they perform in a live fire. The most important part of this training is that the real scenario gives the best practice for the rescuemen, said Lorys. Firefighting is not something you can just learn in the classroom; there needs to be the practice of going out and experiencing the conditions. “If we do not take this training seriously and suddenly the real thing rolls around we won’t be ready, and someone will get hurt,” said Lorys. “It is our job to remain prepared to face the fire for hours on end if needed, because how intense we train will reflect how well we perform.”
Partner Nations Participate In Integrated Training Exercises CONCON, Chile - Marines, sailors, and soldiers took part in partner nation integrated training exercises here as a part of Partnership of the Americas 2014 August 19-20. Service members from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay and the United States rotated through MOUT training as well as two live-fire ranges. The MOUT training, military operations on urban terrain, consisted of room clearing, door breaching and medical evacuations which were supported by CH-46E Sea Knight helicopters. The first live-fire range began when squads were air lifted onto the range via CH-46 and assaulted through an objective with 240B machine guns providing support by fire. The second range, the combat marksmanship range, utilized barriers, which forced service members to get their body and weapon into awkward stances and was meant to be shot with an elevated heart rate. The live-fire ranges were organized and ran by Staff Sgt. Nestor Cruz, the senior marksmanship instructor for combat shooting in the Marine Corps. Cruz stressed that the combat shooting program is designed to create thinkers. “When we’re out here showing them our techniques, we’re not telling them how to shoot, just showing them techniques and tools they can use,” said Cruz. When asked about issues with the language barrier on a live-fire range, Cruz stated, “I don’t think language is a barrier here. We have Marines that speak Spanish and we also have translators. Actions speak louder than words.” POA is designed to enhance joint and combined interoperability; increase the combined capability to execute amphibious operations, Peace Support Operations, Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief missions, and further develop strong and lasting relationships between the naval infantries and marine corps within the Americas.
