First F-35B training course takes off Cpl. Brendan Roethel Staff Writer

A film crew from Marine Corps Recruiting Command record an F-35B Lightning II landing aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Oct. 1 to highlight the newest addition to the Marine Corps’ arsenal. The Pilot Training Center and Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 are slated to kick off the first F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter pilot training course, also known as the F-35B Safe for Solo course, aboard Fightertown, Oct. 6.

The Pilot Training Center and Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 are slated to kick off the first F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter pilot training course, also known as the F-35B Safe for Solo course, aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Oct. 6. The three-month course is the formal instruction period that trains and certifies pilots to fly the F-35B. Upon successful completion, pilots will earn the Military Occupational Specialty 7518, F-35B pilot. Throughout the course, Marine aviators will learn everything from basic familiarization for flying the F-35B to various missions and weather conditions. “During a Hornet or Harrier course, the majority of the training is in the mechanics of the jet such as how to work the radar,” said Maj. Carlton A. Wilson, the executive officer for VMFAT-501. “[The F-35B] is so much easier to fly. We are able to spend less time teaching about the mechanics of flying the jet, and start teaching advanced concepts at a much earlier stage in training.” According to Wilson, by spending less time teaching about the mechanics of flight and spending more time teaching concepts, F-35 pilots will be capable of making independent decisions at an earlier stage in their career which allows for decentralized execution and aligns well with the Marine Corps warfighting philosophy. The joint mission of VMFAT-501 and the PTC is to train pilots to go out to the operating forces in order to execute the missions assigned to the F-35B. “The PTC teaches pilots about the F-35B in a classroom and flight simulator setting taught by civilian instructors with prior military flight experience,” Wilson said. “After learning new concepts in the classroom and successfully applying them in the flight simulator, the pilots will take what they learned to the squadron. At the squadron, they will apply the newly learned fundamentals by actually flying the F35B under the supervision of active-duty military instructors.” The first pilot class will consist of two aviators with prior Hornet or Harrier experience. After the first class of aviators graduate, class sizes will increase gradually to approximately see

Nurse Advice: immediate, accurate health help Cpl. Sarah Cherry Staff Writer

Sometimes, it’s difficult to tell how sick a child is or how urgent an injury is. The Tricare Nurse Advice line provides an opportunity to speak with a registered nurse for advice, questions or help finding a doctor. The NAL is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “If you have a medical issue and you’re not sure what to do, they can help you,” said Barbara Butcher, a registered nurse at the branch medical clinic aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. “It can save

MAG-31 Marines lend a helping hand Sgt. John Wilkes Staff Writer

Approximately 15 Marines with Marine Aircraft Group 31 took part in a community service event, Sept. 27. The Marines provided assistance to a local non-profit organization that works to provide clothes, food, financial assistance and furniture to people in need from the Beaufort area. “Volunteering makes a community stronger,” said Staff Sgt. Mark Day, who coordinated the event. “As Marines, we are a part of the Beaufort community; we live here and eat here just like everyone else.” Service members helped sort and organize food and clothes, mow grass, remove trees and get rid of garbage. “It was such a blessing to have the Marines come out and help,” said Steve Curless, the president of HELP of Beaufort. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen as much initiative as I have today.” The event gave service members a chance to give back to the community, network, and gain valuable volunteer experience. Volunteer opportunities help service members obtain experience in different job fields. Many volunteer organizations write letters of appreciation or recommendation for Marines that volunteer with them. “By volunteering the Marines have an opportunity to not only give back to others, but thank them for their continued support for the Tri-Command,” said Lisa Montanez, the family readiness officer for H&HS. “This opportunity can open many doors for the service members and can provide them with the knowledge and experience to continue their success outside of the military.”

For many, the fall season means purchasing textbooks and school supplies as they continue their education. Time management, especially for those serving on active duty, is an important skill that will help the students juggle their professional, personal and educational responsibilities such as homework and studying.

College: Tips to succeed this semester Cpl. Brendan Roethel Staff Writer

For many, the fall season means purchasing textbooks and school supplies as they continue their education. While many succeed, some often struggle or burn out for countless reasons. Whether it’s from signing up for too many classes, poor time management, poor study habits, or inexperience, it takes a lot of trial and error to pull through and find a routine that works. “For service members, especially those in their first year of college, making the adjustment back to the classroom setting can be

overwhelming,” said Karla Cortes, an education services specialist with the education office aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. “It can be a rough time for anyone, but there are ways students that fall into a rut in their academic career can turn it around and get to where they need to be.” One mistake students make is losing or not reading their syllabus, Cortes said. Students usually receive a syllabus with every milestone in the class and another with a brief description of the course. By reading their syllabuses, students have a better idea of what is expected within a certain time frame so they can work ahead and manage

their time better. “You don’t want to be the lost student in the class that has to constantly be reminded of your deadlines,” Cortes said. “Staying ahead and staying prepared is crucial to being successful in college.” Time management is an important skill that will help the students juggle their professional, personal and educational responsibilities such as homework and studying, especially for those serving on active duty. Although multitasking is common throughout the military, when remaining solely focused on one task, people retain more information and finish in less time,

according to a study conducted by David Meyer, a professor at the University of Michigan. “Although all of these pieces lead up to overall success, rewarding yourself is important because it provides you with mental and emotional support,” Cortes said. “You can reward yourself in many ways whether it’s through buying yourself a treat or gift or receiving a compliment after telling a friend or loved one about your success. By getting a reward you boost your mood and show yourself that hard work really does pay off, which sets you up for continued success.”

corPs Bits Marines test new tactical vehicle that runs with NASCAR blood MARINE CORPS AIR STATION NEW RIVER, N.C. - Marines with the 22nd Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron performed a fit check on the Phantom Badger, a new high-performance tactical vehicle, Sept. 26. The Phantom Badger is similar to the M1161 Internally Transportable Vehicle in use today, but an important difference is its ability to fit inside the MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. The Marines tested how quickly and efficiently they could maneuver the vehicle in and out of the Osprey and tried out a few of the vehicle’s many features. The vehicle has four-wheel drive and comes with four-wheel steering. This gives the vehicle the power to make extremely tight maneuvers, proven by its 24-foot turn radius. It is six inches narrower than a Mini Cooper, gets 21 miles to the gallon and can travel at speeds up to 80 miles per hour. “The Phantom Badger is a game changer,” said Garrett Kasper, a Boeing Spokesman for Phantom Works, located in St. Louis, Mo. “What sets it apart from others is its reliability, power and versatility.” Kasper said that the vehicle can be used for a wide range of missions including reconnaissance, search and rescue, casualty transport, or direct action utilizing mounted machine guns. The Phantom Badger is also capable of towing up to 4,000 lbs. The Marines who were testing the vehicle were very impressed with its overall performance. “It drives very smooth,” said Lance Cpl. Michael Brown, native of Olathe, Kan. who serves as a maintainer with the 22nd Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron, who drove the vehicle into the Osprey. “It’s also very easy to operate. I was able to jump right in and figure out how to drive it right away.” The adaptable vehicle was built with NASCAR blood in its veins, according to Kasper. He refers to the fact that the designer of the Phantom Badger, and president of MSI Defense Solutions, David Holden, comes from a NASCAR background. Just like in the pits of a race track, parts need to be changed and fixed quickly on the battlefield. With that racing mentality, the Phantom Badger was designed with every part on it to be repairable or replaceable within two hours.

Navy pilots join Marine Corps Exercise TINIAN, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands – Service members with Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25, Helicopter Sea Combat Wing Pacific, U.S. Navy conducted joint training with Marine Wing Support Squadron 171 during Exercise Forager Fury III on Sept. 26. An estimated 1300 personnel are participating in FF III, a Marine Corps led exercise involving a full spectrum of fixed wing and rotary aircraft operations. It has a heavy emphasis on tactical aviation and aviation ground support to further develop expeditionary combat capabilities in the Marianas Island Range Complex. The exercise began Sept. 24, and is scheduled to last until Oct. 6. HSC-25 is an MH-60S Seahawk rotary aircraft squadron, and their role in FF III is to support MWSS-171 while conducting close air support and weapons systems training. “Forager Fury for us is a perfect opportunity to help out the Marines while getting essential training for our pilots, aircrew and maintainers,” said Lt. Adam Laakso, operations officer for the squadron during FF III. One mission conducted by the squadron included inserting joint terminal attack controllers onto a nearby, uninhabited island in order to practice target engagements, according to Lt. Devon Cartwright, Seahawk commander with HSC-25. “The JTACs supported us by passing nine lines, which is an authorization to engage a target, according to Cartwright. “We engaged targets with simulated Hellfire missiles, as well as our crew served weapons.” Cartwright said they rarely work with forward observers, so this provides them a unique training opportunity. “If we were to really go into an area where we needed to employ these weapons, this type of practice is invaluable to see how we would do it in the real world,” said Cartwright. Cartwright explained their squadron’s aircraft as a “workhorse” that allows them to do a multitude of missions, including special operations support, search-and-rescue operations, as well as material transport. “The exercise was a success,” said Cartwright. “The JTACs were doing some training of their own, so it was a good way to work out the kinks in the system so they know how to work with rotary-wing assets, such as ourselves, and also for us to work with the Marines and see how they conduct their things.”

Lance Cpl. William Perkins I Marine Expeditionary Force

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - As hills towered over the undisturbed buildings of Combat Town 25, a distant rumble could be heard disrupting the stillness just over the horizon. A pair of MV-22 Ospreys broke the ridgeline sending a trail of dust in their wake. Marines with Company L, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, lined the interior waiting for their chance to storm off the twin-rotor birds to hit the objective. Their months of previous training prepared them for the next 75 minutes. The heli-born assault was the first portion of the Marine Corps Combat Readiness Evaluation held aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Sept. 22-27. The MCCRE is one of the final tests to assess the operational capabilities of infantry battalions slated to deploy. The MCCRE is designed to evalu-

ate their ability to perform their assigned jobs and tasks. From the Marines conducting the raids and setting defensive postures to the Marines in support of the infantry, such as the logistical elements of an operational regiment, each section is thoroughly evaluated to ensure every Marine is ready to deploy. “As an infantry unit, there are a lot of wrinkles to be smoothed out when Marines come straight from the School of Infantry before heading out on a deployment,” said Lance Cpl. Corey Dahmen, a fire team leader with Lima Co., 3/1. Over the last couple of ranges and exercises, such as a recent monthlong exercise in Bridgeport, the junior Marines have been pushed to ensure they are ready to be placed in any stressful combat situation. “As an infantry company, we’ve seen a lot of improvement in the abilities of the junior Marines over the past couple of months leading into this MC-

CRE,” said Dahmen. The MCCRE presented obstacles demanding the Marines adapt and overcome. They made their way across several miles of mountains, set defensive positions against enemy attacks and spent entire nights observing the darkness, looking for their opportunity to engage enemy targets. “It’s an endurance test,” said Lance Cpl. Grant Baker, a rifleman with Lima Co., 3/1. “It’s not just hiking all night to provide security for another company. It’s staying awake during those long nights and still managing to dig fighting holes the next day.” By the end of the MCCRE, the Marines of 3/1 had endured many hardships, but still accomplished the tasks required of them. Whether their MOS involves boots on the ground, taking the fight to the enemy or transporting Marines to an objective, the MCCRE reminds the Marines of those core missions they’re sent to complete.

1st Recon sharpens communication during CQT 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Marines with Bravo Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, participated in their fourth week of a close-quarters tactics course aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., Sept. 25. This course is designed to help the Marines maintain speed and accuracy while applying close-quarter tactics before compositing with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit in October. Bravo Company is training to be the number one force the MEU commander can call upon for any type of mission from an urban environment to tight quarters on a ship, said Sgt. Ian Walker, an assistant team leader with Bravo Co., 1st Recon Bn. “No matter where were going; We’re flying in helicopters and going to an urban environment, going to go sit up on a hill for four or five days straight or we’re going to go out and hit a ship or some kind of boat to take it down,” said Walker, from Anderson, Calif., “This whole company has trained together and we’re able to do that no

matter what team you pick.” Walker explained that while the Marines are split into teams they work within their entire platoon and company during their training. “You never know who you’re going to be next to in a stack while you’re moving through a building or a whole urban environment, so we train with everyone in the company,” said Walker. Working together the past few weeks allows the Marines to work on their communication as they move through an environment. “Whatever you see in the house, you need to communicate so the guys behind you know what they’re running into, otherwise they’re blind until they’re actually in that room set up,” said Walker. “Once you’re in the room you take that quick look using your peripheral vision and actually seeing what that next guy is going to do. You can read his body language; you can see what that guy’s going to do, what he’s thinking, before he actually does it.” Gunnery Sgt. Kevin Homestead, a platoon sergeant with Bravo Co., 1st Recon Bn., ex-

plained that strong communication is key to success when moving through a house. “With initiative-based tactics, you should be able to react [off of non-verbal communication]. You should be able to see what your buddy is doing to your left and right and then be able to react off of that,” said Homestead, from McMinnville, Ore. “That’s how we flow through a house without slowing things down. Once it gets loud, we will go with the verbal communication just to ensure our explicit communications are there, everyone understands what’s going on and there’s

no confusion.” The skills Bravo Co. is learning throughout this course ensures the Marines are well-prepared for their upcoming deployment with the 15th MEU. “In Recon we have numerous different mission-sets so this just gives us another tool in the toolbox for the MEU commander to be able to utilize a precision raid-force,” said Homestead. The Marines will continue to work together as they fine-tune more and more tactics during this course. After the CQT course, they will continue to train with the 15th MEU until deployment.

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - Marines with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion conducted breaching training at range 211A aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Sept. 22. Of the four kinds of breaching, explosive, mechanical, ballistic, and thermal, the Marines were refining their skills in the employment of explosive breaching. “We have a wide skillset as recon Marines,” said Sgt. Sean Wade, current operations noncommissioned officer in charge with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion training cell. “When we go with the MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit), not only do we carry out reconnaissance and surveillance for the battalion landing team, but we also can execute limited scale raids. What that entails is gaining entry into buildings.” To achieve this goal, various types of shaped charges are utilized depending on the type of barricade blocking the Marines’ entry. “The purpose is to gain 100 percent penetration on the objective site using the least amount of explosives,” said Sgt.

erly employing them to breach a door. “A lot of our objectives are high value individuals,” said Wade. “They are going to be well protected and well barricaded in that structure, so a lot of times you can’t gain entry without explosive means.” Watkins explained, it’s important for all the Marines to possess breaching skills. If a unit is on an objective site and the breacher goes down, everyone needs to know how to employ the explosives properly.

2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion conducts ship operation CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Marines with Alpha Company, 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, conducted ship operations near Onslow Beach, N.C., with the USS Whidbey Island Sept. 9 and 10. Marines with the unit conducted a ship-toshore, beach assault in a platoon-sized formation consisting of nine to twelve assault amphibious vehicles. Due to the high risk of training in the ocean, the Marines conducted pre-operation checks to ensure the AAVs were ready and safe to deploy into the ocean. “Working in the water is the most dangerous thing we do, and it’s one of the more dangerous operations that you can conduct in a training environment,” said 1st Lt. Shane C. Reardon, a platoon commander with Alpha Company, 2nd AABn. “If something goes wrong on the ocean, there’s not a whole lot of places you can turn for help.” Just off the beach, Alpha Co. Marines splashed, a term used for launching into water, as a way to test the seaworthiness of the AAVs. After checking their vehicles for any discrepancies while still near the beach, the Marines headed out to link up with the ship. The AAVs boarded the USS Whidbey Island while still in the ocean and prepared to conduct Gator Squares and Dynamic Launch training from the ship. Gator Squares consist of a platoon of AAVs launching off the ship one by one, navigating a square path, and driving back onto the ship. “A dynamic launch is when the ship launches the AAVs while it’s underway,” said Reardon. “Then the ship would direct us towards the beach for an assault.” During the dynamic launch, the USS Whidbey Island ran parallel to the shore with its stern gate down. The submersible ramp served as an open gateway for the AAVs staged within the ship and allowed them to conduct amphibious operations quickly. One by one the AAVs departed the ship. With all of the assault vehicles in the water, the formation turned right and faced the beach to continue the attack. These ship operations, as well as other training the Marines conducted at Fort A.P. Hill, Va., helped maintain the unit’s amphibious preparedness and readied it for future deployments. “Versatility is the key to our ability to deploy … should we need to take a hostel beach, we still have that capability,” said Reardon. “So harking back to Tarawa or Inchon, where we had to take a hostile beach, we’re fully capable of doing that.”

Ultimately the goal was to keep the recon Marines current on all their skills so they are prepared when in a forward-deployed environment. “We host a wide variety of skillsets,” said Wade, “not only in reconnaissance, but also infantry and close-quarters combat skills, which are very perishable. So we perpetually train every skillset, so we can be as good as we can be for whatever a commander may ask of us.”

CAMP GONSALVES, OKINAWA, Japan — “I think we found our first point,” said a corporal, drenched in sweat as he and his fellow Marines traversed through dense jungle. “It should be on top of this hill, behind the trees.” With hopes of this being the correct point, the corporals climbed the steep, muddy hill, grabbing anything within reach so they wouldn’t slip while making their way to the top. Marines participating in Marine Corps Air Station Futenma’s Corporals Course traveled through the jungle during a land navigation course at the Jungle Warfare Training Center Sept. 23 on Camp Gonsalves. “The corporals went through a performance evaluation for land navigation,” said Sgt. Michael J. Elgaen, the senior instructor for the course. “They took the skills they learned from Marine Combat Training and from the classroom then applied it out in the jungle.” The Marines were split up into four groups with 11 Marines in each group. They had a map, compass and radio to assist them in finding their way through the jungle. Additionally, they were given a flare for use in the event they became lost. Each group received two different points on their map to locate in a two-hour time limit. It is difficult to shoot a straight azimuth and keep count of your pace in the jungle, according to Elgaen, from Bismarck, North Dakota. Since the vegetation was thick and the terrain was not flat, it was challenging for the Marines to find their points, according to Elgaen. The corporals had to use terrain association to navigate through the jungle instead of a technique known as dead reckoning. “Dead reckoning is where you shoot an azimuth (with a compass), use a pace count, and judging the distance on your map you follow a known distance to that point,” said Elgaen. “Terrain association is where you get your map out, orientate the map to the ground, look at the contour lines and recognize the land developments.” “In order to give them the best training experience, we decided to use the Jungle Warfare Training Center,” said Elgaen. “The jungle was a suitable environment for the corporals to test out their skills that they have learned.”

20 Marines. Within the next year, Prowler pilots and new Marine Aviators will begin filling seats in the class which will consist of a more rigorous course of instruction. “Most of the pilots coming through the course at the start will have gone on at least one deployment in either the Harrier or the Hornet, and have a number of hours and different qualifications under their belt,” Wilson said. “At the end of the day, for pilots with prior training on the Hornets and Harriers, it is just another jet. The only thing the pilots really have to do is apply what they already know to a different aircraft.” This first class is the next step of many in the transition from the Corps’ aging legacy tactical fleet to the F-35, which will provide the dominant, multi-role, fifthgeneration capabilities needed across the full spectrum of combat operations to deter potential adversaries and enable future naval aviation power projection.

October is breast cancer awareness month, and the Tri-command is tickled pink. “It’s important to continue holding events for breast cancer to continue that awareness and inform people about breakthroughs and research,” said Kathy Williams, health promotion coordinator aboard Ma-

rine Corps Air Station Beaufort and breast cancer survivor. The series of more than ten events this month kicks off with a cake cutting and PINK walk at Naval Hospital Beaufort, Oct. 3. Each event shares general information on breast cancer as well as current tests and treatment options. “We’ve had pretty good participation throughout the years,” said Williams. “A lot of

people come to each one of our events.” Events include the Harvest Moon Run, zumba, a warrior challenge and a movie night. A full list of events can be found http:// www.mccs-sc.com/thinkpink/events.asp “Breast cancer seems to be happening at an earlier age,” said Williams. Williams also said that breast cancer in men is on the rise, putting an even heavier focus on the disease Breast cancer is the

leading cause of death in women aged 40 to 55, and over 40,000 men and women are expected to die from breast cancer this year. Catching breast cancer early in the disease helps increase the chance of recovery. “We would love to see all family members, not just women, to come to as many events as possible to help educate and spread the word about breast cancer and health in general,” said Williams.
