When Bolden Elementary / Middle School teachers engaged their students in conversation regarding Sept. 11th, not many knew the importance of the date or why “we will never forget.” To the students 9/11 is as much a part of history as World War II or the Civil War but to the teachers who lived through it, it’s far from history. The students were encouraged to research the date and impact on America. In the 2014 presidential proclamation regarding Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, President Barack Obama outlines the importance of the date. “On a day that began like so many others, a clear blue sky was pierced by billowing black smoke as a wave of grief crashed over us. But in one of our darkest moments, we summoned strength and courage, and out of horrible devastation emerged the best of our humanity. On this solemn anniversary, we pause in remembrance, in reflection, and once again in unity.” The students viewed images and video of the events of 9/11 which, according to Kathy Holley, the gifted education teacher at Bolden Elementary / Middle School, impacted them and helped them understand the importance of remembering 9/11. “If we forget about it then we don’t grow from it,” said Tre Greeson, an 8th-grade student and son of Chief Warrant Officer William Greeson, officer in charge of combat camera, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. “Remembering [9/11] is motivation to keep defending our country and not let something like this happen again.” “I feel as if we forget then it seems as if we don’t care about what happened and the people that died,” said Katlyn Warring, an 8th-grade student and daughter of Sgt. James Willett, senior drill instructor at MCRD Parris Island. “If we forget then we might let our guard down, and it might happen again.” Along with researching the importance of the date, students were asked to also write poetry concerning the impact the events of 9/11 had on them after knowing more about the date. “I wanted to write my poem a little different, so my dad and I came up with writing about the Twin Towers as if they had feelings,” said Tyler Kidd, a 7th-grade student and son of Gunnery Sgt. Joseph Kidd, Combat Logistics Company 23, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. Below is an excerpt from Tyler’s poem: I am gone but never forgotten I wonder if my twin feels my pain… I feel unstable and begin to sway I touch the heavens and begin to pray I worry that we can no longer stand I cry as we cannot protect the souls when we crumble to the ground I am gone but never forgotten see

EILSON AFB, Alaska - With temperatures near freezing and a strong wind blowing in from the mountains, ordnance Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122 worked to get their F/A18C Hornets ready for unit level training, named Distant Frontier, Sept. 3, aboard Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The Marines loaded MK-76 practice bombs for the squadron’s
bombing mission while conducting ULT in “The Last Frontier” State. The 25-pound MK-76 practice bomb is non-explosive and has a smoke cartridge to mark the impact point. For the past six months, VMFA122, nicknamed the “Werewolves,” has travelled throughout the Western Pacific as part of the unit deployment program with Marine see

Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 executed the first F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter flight supported entirely by Marine maintenance, Sept. 4. Maj. Michael Rountree, the aircraft maintenance officer of VMFAT-501, piloted the
flight. “It’s the culmination of the past three years of preparation and training and hard work to get the maintenance department trained, setup and moved to Beaufort from Eglin,” said Rountree, a native of Houston, Texas. “It feels pretty good. We passed our safe for flight inspection with flying colors due to the
experience and professionalism of our maintenance Marines. “Just seeing such high marks and great results as the maintenance officer makes me proud to be a part of this effort and a part of this squadron,” he said. see

The gift of love Lt. Allen Presser
U.S. Navy Chaplain Corps
It is amazing how we take so many things for granted, and if we are honest, we probably take most things for granted. There are so many things that we do not realize are gifts from God, or even miracles of God. For instance, the beautiful and innocent smile of a newborn, the opportunity to hold and kiss one’s baby, and the ability to love and be loved by each other. In fact, love, and even the empowerment to be able to exchange love, are all gifts from God. Imagine what the world would look like if there was absolutely no love. First of all, there would be no such thing as forgiveness, and without forgiveness, there would be a perpetual increase of anger, hatred, bitterness, and malicious works of revenge working in the hearts of people continuously. Further, the only way to win or overcome some situations is by forgiving the situation; in other words, giving what does not belong to another such as money that is owed to someone—paying off another’s financial debt or releasing money that is owed to us. Someone may say, “But how does that relate to forgiveness issues of the heart?” Simple, giving love to someone not deserving, or giving someone love in despite of someone being mean or evil to us, is just like giving the same amount of bor-
rowed money to those who owe us the money—one is giving money, and the other is giving love, otherwise known as forgiveness. Another person may say, “I forgive them, but I will never forget.” My question to that person would be then, are you sure you have forgiven them? My Bible says that love keeps no record of wrongs, or love “does not take into account a wrong suffered” (1 Corinthians 13:5). Still another would say, “But I just can’t forgive that person for doing that horrible deed.” I did not say it would be
loose sight of wisdom and put ourselves in an unsafe or other unwise situation. The heart of the matter though is to not have ill recompense to another for retribution or payback. Let’s leave vengeance to the Lord, and keep a right heart in the situation which says, “Let me pray for this person so that God will have mercy on them and so that they do not get what they deserve, but that God would lead them to repentance” (Romans 2:4). Such prayers for our offenders help us to have and keep a right heart toward them, and blessing them with gifts or other acts of kindness are still other ways that we can choose to love these people. If we are choosing to love them based upon our actions, then this will help transform our hearts and emotions toward the person. R e m e m b e r, our emotions are supposed to be our servants, not our masters, and they will line up and follow the decisions we have chosen, whether for evil, or for good as in the case of loving and forgiving, as demonstrated through our acts of unconditional goodness. Jesus is our example, and even when He was on the cross being unjustly murdered by us people, He prayed, “Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34). Certainly Jesus is the ultimate Gift of Love from God Who is God our Savior, and the Love of God. He is our example of forgiveness, Who is the ultimate Gift of Love from God.
“There are so many things that we do not realize are gifts from God, or even miracles of God.” Lt. Allen Presser
easy, but here is where we can reach out to God for help on the issue. Jesus said, “…with God, all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26); “He who calls upon the Name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13); and we can pray the prayer of King David when he said, “Create in me a clean heart oh God, and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). We can ask God for help on the issues of our heart. Next, we can treat that person as if they had never committed the offense in the first place—this is not to say that we also

PI band performs at military appreciation ceremony Cpl. Brendan Roethel Staff Writer
The Parris Island Marine Band performed during a military appreciation football game at the Justin M. Heyward Academy in Ridgeland, S.C., Sept. 5. The band performed a mixture of military marching music with precise drill movements. At the end of the 19th century, professional concert bands were on the rise, touring constantly, and playing not just marches, but everything from popular songs to opera or concert-music pieces. As time passed, the United States’ military bands have kept that tradition of band music alive. “Performing in events at schools for young students is always impactful, especially at a time where many schools are unfortunately putting music and arts programs aside due to dwindling budgets,” said Gunnery Sgt. David Wilson, the drum major for the Parris Island Marine Band. “Coming out here and performing for younger generations can instill the desire to pursue music, or even join the military. Through our music we can stand as a symbol for both the arts and the Corps.” In addition to playing at approximately 40 recruit graduations each year, the band also performs concerts and parades across the United States, according to the Parris Island Marine Band’s website. “I was in the University of South Carolina Marching Band for two years and continued to perform on several national sports league marching bands thereafter,” said Charles Buckwitter, a retired snare drum musician. “I have performed alongside some of the best, but nothing compares to seeing these young men and women play. I plan on seeing them again in the future and can’t wait to hear them perform in an actual concert. They were simply amazing.” A final salute to the armed forces recognized service of members from all branches in the audience. The band then brought the performance to an end with the Marine Corps Hymn and a reenactment of the flag raising over Iwo Jima.

F-35B continued from page 1
The F-35B is intended to replace the Marine Corps’ F/A-18 Hornets and AV-8B Harriers. Hornets were first introduced to the Marine Corps in 1983, replacing the A4 Skyhawk and F4 Phantom II. Marine Fighter Attack Squadrons 115, 122, 251 and 312 first received F/A-18s between 1985 and 1987, while Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadrons 224 and 533 first received F/A-18s in 1992 and 1993. “The Marines understand the historical significance of this plane and this program,” said Rountree. “Marines are putting in a greater level of rigor, attention to detail and
thoughtful maintenance practices so that we can ensure that we are doing it right the first time. They are building the legacy of the F-35 on a solid foundation.” Once the aircraft are fully operational, VMFAT-501 plans to train student pilots on the F-35B platform. Before relocating to the Air Station, the Warlords qualified more than 40 Marine Corps F-35B pilots. The squadron plans to eventually graduate 60 pilots a year. “At the end of the day, the reason we exist is to provide combat power for the United States of America,” said Rountree. “VMFAT-501 assists with that by enabling the Marine Corps to continue to support the United States with the combat power of trained F35 pilots and maintainers.”

Aircraft Group 12, stationed aboard Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan. The squadron has participated in multiple ULTs, as well as large-scale exercises, most notable being Exercise Rim of the Pacific 2014. “We just came from the Pacific Rim; we went to Japan and had hot and rainy weather, we went to Hawaii and had really hot and humid weather and now coming up here to Alaska really diversifies our training,” said Staff Sgt. Jerrod Gelbaugh, an ordnance technician with VMFA122. “Operating in every type of climate gets us ready for anything in the future. You never know the next time you are
going to deploy.” There are more than 20 VMFA-122 ordnance Marines in Alaska, who are split into two crews, day and night. For this mission, the night crew tested and loaded BRU-41 multiple ejector racks onto four F/A-18C Hornets and readied MK-76s for the day crew. The day crew loaded the MK-76s onto the Hornets in the pre-dawn cold, hours before they launched for their training mission. “The cold really didn’t make a difference, we still got the job done,” said Cpl. Jarred Latour, VMFA-122 ordnance day crew leader. “It’s cold for everyone and we know it, but we put on a couple more layers and kept pushing.” The purpose of VMFA122s ULT in Alaska is to
integrate with Pacific Command squadrons to refine their tactics, techniques and procedures, while using the Joint Pacific Range Complex to improve core skills such as low altitude tactics and working with the Air Force to improve interoperability between services. “This UDP has gotten guys a lot of experience, training them differently than back in (Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort),” said Latour. “We get to see how different branches work and even how the different bases work. We got a lot of good communication with other people, which makes us better overall.” Alaska is the last stop for the Werewolves before heading home to MCAS Beaufort, S.C. and warmer weather.

Marines conduct cliff assault training BRIDGEPORT, Calif. – Marine Corps training has evolved throughout the Corps’ existence. Mountain warfare training began because of lessons learned from Marines in the Korean War. What started as cold weather training in mountainous terrain has changed into mental and physical preparations for operations in adverse areas. Marines with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment continued Mountain Exercise 2014 with cliff assault training aboard Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, Calif., Sept. 1. Marines with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment will become the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s ground combat element in October. Mountain Exercise 2014 develops critical skills the battalion will need during deployment. Specifically, the training ensures the Marines are prepared for mountainous terrain if the need arises while deployed with the 15th MEU next year. Having spent the previous days training with rappel assaults, the Marines had a solid base of knowledge on scaling down a cliff. This time they would scale up a cliff; a task that is physically demanding and mentally taxing. “We taught them everything they need to know and they’ve responded well to the trainings,” said Staff Sgt. David K. Mwaura, a unit training instructor with Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center, who is from Austell, Ga. “For the most part, it’s been a lot of small unit leadership. The [noncommissioned officers] take the lead and make sure their Marines are applying everything we’ve taught them.” As the day’s training came to a close, squad leaders gathered their Marines and reiterated the importance of the day’s training and how it will come to play in there coming deployment with the 15th MEU.
24th MEU fast-ropes toward deployment CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Marines and Sailors with Lima and Weapons Companies, both from Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Ground Combat Element, received fast-rope qualifications by fast-roping from a 60-foot tower and an MV-22B tiltrotor aircraft, Aug. 20-21, at Camp Lejeune, N.C. The Fast Rope Insertion Extraction System, commonly known as fast-roping, is a method to insert Marines into a location where a helicopter or tiltrotor aircraft cannot land, using a specialized rope that Marines slide down with gloved hands while using their feet to manipulate speed. The MEU is compelled by its Mission Essential Tasks List, or METL. This is what is used to analyze, develop, and evaluate the integrated capabilities of the Marine Expeditionary Unit/Amphibious Ready Group. Some of those require Marines with fast-rope qualifications to conduct amphibious assaults and raids, maritime interdiction, noncombatant evacuation operations, and tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel, to name a few. The Marines and Sailors were divided into teams of 20 as they approached, climbed and subsequently fast-roped down the 60-foot high rise. A Sailor yelled, “Can you believe we get paid to do this?” after completing his first of six total jumps from the tower. The weather conditions changed as the humidity and insect population started to take its toll on the service members. As the heat became more intense, the situation didn’t get easier, especially once they had to wear their Kevlar helmets and Improved Modular Tactical Vests and repeat the training evolution. The humidity, even at night, brought a constant sweat and made it difficult to maintain a good grip on the rope. After everyone completed their required fast-rope descents, it was time to get some rest. The Marines and Sailors woke up the following morning with the daunting task of performing their new found fast-roping techniques aboard an MV-22B Osprey from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 365 (Reinforced). As the Osprey approached the landing zone, the BLT Marines and Sailors gathered their gear to board and confidently execute fundamental insertion techniques. The downwash of the Osprey increased the intensity and tension of the service members when they were told they would be conducting 60-foot descents for the remainder of the training. Full of adrenaline, the Marines and Sailors walked away from the Osprey with new motivation. The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force, or MAGTF, and is scheduled to deploy as an expeditionary crisis response force at the end of the year.
Sgt. Thomas Jackson, a Chicago, Illinois, native, fast ropes down from an MV-22B Osprey during the Helicopter Rope Suspension Techniques course Aug. 20 at the Central Training Area.

Air to Ground: Marine Corps Rappelling Lance Cpl. Isaac Ibarra
III Marine Expeditionary Force
CENTRAL TRAINING AREA, OKINAWA Japan — Marines rappelled, fast-roped and performed Special Patrol Insertion/ Extraction training as part of the Helicopter Rope Suspension Techniques course Aug. 19-20 at the Central Training Area. The 11-day course is broken up into two segments. The first is tower week, where the students first familiarize themselves with the knots and techniques used in SPIE. The second is called aviation week, when the students finalize their training by combining all the skills they have learned throughout the course, and rappel out of the aircraft. The techniques the students learned throughout the course are used for inserting and extracting from places where aircraft cannot land. The SPIE rig involves the students attaching to one rope and hanging from the aircraft as a group. “At this portion of the course the students have already developed confidence from tower week, passed the assessments on the knots, and all the tower rigging systems,” said Maj. Breck
Perry, the officer in charge of the course with Special Operations Training Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, III MEF. “Aviation week is where it all comes together.” The students conducted the rappels during the day and at night using aircrafts such as the CH-53E Super Stallion Helicopter, UH-1N Huey, and the MV22B Osprey to vary the techniques the students use under heavy rotor wash. “The rotor wash of the MV-22B Osprey is a lot more aggressive, and it blows the students around a little bit more,” said Perry, a Fredericksburg, Virginia, native. Rotor wash is created by the aircrafts blades, pushing air to the ground. The powerful wind challenges students to maintain their balance and keep control of the ropes when they rappel down or hook on to the rope for a SPIE rig. Safety is paramount during practical application. Before every rappel the students take turns acting as a HRST master, guiding the other students stepby-step through the rappel to ensure they go down safely, according to Sgt. Geoffrey P. Mann, a HRST instructor with SOTG. “(The students) get the practice out of mastering people down,” said Mann, an
Orlando, Florida, native. “Then they get the experience of going out of an actual (aircraft). After the Marines conducted the practical application on the aircraft, they will move on to one more written evaluation and become HRST masters, according to Mann. “HRST to me, is taking the skills I have learned and sending Marines out of a helicopter or down a wall, and being confident in knowing that my anchor points are set and that I am going to send them down safely at all times,” said Sgt. Brett Marcinik, a rifleman with 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment currently assigned to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force under the unit deployment program. Overall, the students benefited from the course and are now more confident and capable of performing aircraft insertions, according to Mann. “It was a blast, the adrenaline rush and the realism of the training made it fun,” said Marcinik, a Melbourne, Florida, native. “Overall, this is more beneficial than doing it in the tower because we are actually conducting HRST on the helicopter.”

A Marine with Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, fires an FGM-148 Javelin during a TOW battle drill aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., Aug. 28-29. The Marines were performing basic TOW drills using live fire and maneuver to ensure they were ready for future deployments.
1/4 Weapons conducts TOW battle drills MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Marines with Combined Anti-Armor Teams 1 and 2, Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, conducted TOW battle drills with heavy machine guns and anti-armor weapon systems aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., Aug. 28-29, 2014. The Marines performed basic TOW drills using live fire and maneuver to ensure they were ready for future deployments. “Today we’re doing the live fire portion of what we’ve been building up to in the last month,” said 2nd Lt. Nicholas Boire, platoon commander of CAAT 2. “We’re using heavy machine guns along with anti-tank guided missiles [to confirm] we’re ready at the basic level, so we can move on to harder levels.” This training is important because it’s the basic immediate action they will apply in a combat environment, said Boire. The Marines’ primary objective is being able to find and destroy enemy tanks whether they’re in a deployed or training environment. “This really helps them because it’s live fire training,” said Boire. “The live fire proves to them their abilities because they do a lot of dry runs and backyard training. Actually being able to see the rounds impact, understand the effects they’re trying to use, and seeing how it all comes together with real weapons manipulation, demonstrates their proficiency.”
During the learning process, the Marines have a few challenges they need to understand and deal with when engaging a target with heavy machine guns and anti-tank weapon systems, explained Boire. “The biggest obstacle is understanding where their targets are,” said Cpl. Michael Darakjian, a section leader with the same unit. “It forces the [Non-Commissioned Officers] to really be able to paint the target for their gunners, because if they shoot their missile at the wrong target it’s a big deal.” Throughout the training, Marines were able to use teams in tandem and identify strate-
gies when engaging targets to effectively accomplish each TOW battle drill. “I hope everyone gains an appreciation for the capabilities of rockets and missiles,” said Boire. “I also hope that they gain an appreciation in the power of a team.” The Marines gained the basic knowledge of TOW battle drills and they also gained experience seeing the requirements of their jobs in combat scenarios. They plan to continue training with heavy machine guns and antitank weapon systems so they can always be prepared to bring Combined Anti-Armor Team capabilities to the ground combat fight.
1st ANGLICO Aims for Accuracy Lance Cpl. John Baker I Marine Expeditionary Force
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. Marines and sailors with 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company conducted an unknown distance and a pistol combat marksmanship shoot aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Sept. 4. The Marines and sailors participating in this training came from both 1st ANGLICO Supporting Arms Liaison Teams (SALT) and 1st ANGLICO headquarters. The training was designed to improve their skills with both primary and secondary weapons. Sergeant Domonic Williams, 26, from Beaufort, South Carolina, the administration chief and career planner for 1st ANGLICO, explained that being with the company gives him a totally different experience from that of many Marines in
the administrative field. “I take great pride in being part of 1st ANGLICO,” said Williams. “We have so many training evolutions here, and we’re able to get out of the office and take part in them and really improve on our skills as Marines.” This type of training isn’t uncommon on a Marine Corps installation. The 1st ANGLICO leadership is constantly working to improve their Marines. “Training like this is especially important for ANGLICO,” said Williams. ”We have 4-to-5-man teams, and they need to be able to put rounds down range effectively.” The company conducts exercises like these to build confidence and maintain deployment readiness. The more practice Marines get behind their weapons, the more comfortable they become. “Today we’re gaining famil-

iarity and engaging targets at all different distances, from far away with our rifles to up close with our M9’s,” said Navy Lt. Nathan Walker, 34, from Oakland, California, the air officer for SALT B, 1st ANGLICO. “We get inserted as small teams with foreign military forces, and we’re there to provide the ability to use Marine Corps
fires, such as artillery or air support. If we’re out on patrol with them and we take contact, we need to be able to effectively engage the enemy.” Improving accuracy makes ANGLICO Marines more effective on the battlefield and allows them to bring coordinated fires to the larger Marine Air Ground Task Force fight.
US, Malaysian and Armed Forces Kick-Off Joint Exercise KG TANDUO, Malaysia – Members of the United States and Malaysian armed forces came together to officially open Malaysia – United States Amphibious Exercise 2014 during an opening dinner at Kg Tanduo, Malaysia, Aug. 26. The exercise, planned over the span of several months, is designed to improve participating forces’ amphibious training, readiness and interoperability. Approximately 500 Marines and sailors from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit will be partnered with members of the 7th and 22nd Royal Malay Regiments. A small number of planners from Amphibious Squadron Five and the Makin Island Amphibious Ready group will also be partnered with planners from the Malaysian Armed Forces. Col. Matthew Trollinger, the 11th MEU’s commanding officer, urged participants to use the exercise as an opportunity to learn from each other and to work together. “The U.S. and Malaysia have shared a longstanding military relationship and we are grateful to build upon that tradition over the next week,” said Trollinger. Partnered training with the Malaysian Armed Forces includes shipboard familiarization, medical and dental capabilities, weapons familiarization, amphibious rehearsals with ship-to-shore connectors, live-fire ranges, rapid response planning process, execution of an amphibious assault and landing, and reconstitution. The U.S. military and Malaysian Armed Forces have partnered in counter-terrorism operations since 1985 and have participated in numerous exercises over the years. MALUS AMPHEX 14 is a realistic and challenging exercise that brings service members closer and improves both nations’ ability to work bilaterally, which better prepares both nations to provide regional and global security.
Marines of 2/5 rocket back to their roots CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Assaultmen with 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, conducted a live-fire range with MK153 SMAWs aboard Camp Pendleton, August 21-22. For the Marines, the training provided extra trigger time using integrated elements such as coordinated volleys and an evaluated night portion. The 42 Marines were provided with 46 rockets to improve their abilities to manipulate, control and become comfortable their assigned weapon system. Corporal Dustin Sterr, an assaultman with 2/5, Company E said, “We’re at the beginning of our work-ups so we’re mainly working with the gun teams because for a lot of them, they’re brand new.” The junior Marines among the three participating companies shot most of the rounds during several repetitions with guidance from the more senior Marines. Lance Corporal Chance Seckinger, an assaultman with 2/5, Company F said, “Our new Marines were doing this for the first time and they were a little jittery, but that’s to be expected.” The Marines faced basic malfunctions when firing the weapon systems that required immediate actions and safe disposal of the defective ordnance. “There were definitely some issues at the start like weapon malfunctions and time it took to fire, but as they started rolling through, there was an obvious improvement,” said Sterr. To combat inexperience, the assaultmen spent the weeks prior conducting academic and practical application routines to ensure safe and proficient engagement. “We had classes on every subject we’ve done out here,” said Sterr. “We had demo classes, SMAW classes and even took our rockets into the ‘backyard’ and practiced gun drills.” Once the Marines establish a concrete grasp when converting their actions from the classroom to a field setting, they can transition their knowledge to other infantry roles. “Now the Marines can take the knowledge gained here back to their companies and help them when they’re relied on to engage a target with a SMAW or destroy an obstacle with demo,” said Sterr. The training will allow the Marines to perform their duties as an assaultman in any clime and place in the distant or near future.
