The Sesame Street/USO experience for Military Families visits Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Oct. 14 and 15. The free, interactive event was held in the Air Station fitness center and featured a military child named Katie who is moving. As she transitions to a new location, she teaches children in the audience about change and the power of friendship. Approximately 700,000 children under five have a parent in the military, according to the USO. Workshops like the Sesame Street workshop reach out to these children to help them cope with the challenges of the military lifestyles like separation and change.

Energy Action Month drives Marine energy conservation Cpl. Brendan Roethel Staff Writer

The Department of Defense is recognizing the month of October as Energy Action Month, a federal program that encourages saving energy and water, directed by President Barak Obama. The Marine Corps’ mission during Energy Action Month is to raise awareness about energy use and conservation in all Marines, and to encourage new energy saving actions that will become habits for each Marine, according to a Marine Corp Instillations Command press release. By participating in Energy Ac-

tion Month, Marine Corps leadership and individual installations seek to increase awareness and behavior change through the promotion of the Energy Ethos, the idea that the efficient use of energy and natural resources is a critical component of mission readiness. “By working to help save energy and resources, Marines can work hand in hand with Public Works to lower Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort’s energy bill,” said Neil Tisdale, the Air Station utilities director and energy mansee

Quick fixes and long term solutions Cmdr. Bill Holliman

U.S. Navy Chaplain Corps

Every week someone comes to my office with a pressing problem that has to be fixed “right now.” Usually the service member or spouse wants a quick fix. Can they come see me one time and get everything they need to fix a marriage or fix a legal problem or fix some other problem? But the fact is that most things that need to be fixed “right now” took a long time to get that way and will take a long time to get fixed. So what do we do? Let me begin by saying that most of what the Religious Ministries Program on the base is about is not quick fixes. We are about long term solutions. Let me give you some examples. When my Dad was a young Sailor he was a mess. But he attended Church because he thought that would make up for the bad things he had done during the week. It was a sort of penance for all the ways he was not a good Christian. Dad was not a hypocrite; he knew he was a mess. It was just that he thought that attending church would pay off his debt. I have often seen that attitude in Marines who get in trouble. They come to Church once or twice to pay off the debt to soci-

ety and to God that they think they owe, but they do not really get anything out of the service and they quickly wander away. But then one day my Dad found a completely different understanding of church and that changed everything for him. Now my Dad is an assistant pastor at his church. One of my friends is involved in the AA

Here are some positive examples. When you attend one of the PREP classes we offer here in conjunction with the MCCS folks, you get tools to help you and your spouse to communicate with each other so that you do not get into a spiral of defeat and despair that breaks up your marriage. When you and your family attend one of the worship services here on a regular basis you begin to get in touch with God and that will change how you look at church, the Marine Corps and life. When your kids attend the monthly Youth Group meetings at the chapel, or Sunday School, or CCD for the Catholics, they begin to get some moral material to work with that helps them to make sense of their experiences and what God is doing in the world. When you attend the Christian Women’s Fellowship you get something that will exhilarate your soul and give you some fun with the other women who attend. Will any of these instantly solve the “right now” problems you face? Of course not. But all of these will help you to have long term solutions instead. And really wouldn’t you really have long term solutions to your problems instead of a quick fix that doesn’t really fix anything?

“When you and your family attend one of the worship services here on a regular basis you begin to get in touch with God and that will change how you look at church, the Marine Corps and life.”

- Cmdr. Bill Holliman program. He told me that he used to go to AA and then drink on the way home. It was a long time of going to AA and then drinking before he was able to go to AA and not drink. Something changed for him and that changed everything. I could go on, but if you read this far you know that when we are looking for a quick fix, it does not work. But when we look for long term solutions, that does work.

ager. “By lowering costs, the Air Station can spend more money on training exercises, unit events, and more which all have direct influences on the everyday lives of Marines. This makes the Air Station’s energy bill just as much the Marines’ bill as well. By just doing the little things every day and encouraging your fellow Marines to make small changes in their daily routines, we can all work to make

a difference and lower our energy costs.” The efforts of individuals aboard the Air Station can directly impact the environment. To save energy, unplug electronics and chargers when not in use and turn lights off when not at home. By plugging in all electronics into power strips, service members can turn of all power sources at the flick of a few switches as they leave the room. “By installing [water efficient] shower heads, energy efficient light bulbs and central air units,

we are saving a lot of money, but we need the help of individual Marines to do better,” said Tisdale. “By unplugging unused phone chargers, turning off unnecessary lights, and being cautious of water usage we can lower the Marine Corps’ energy bill.” Several projects driven by Public Works that have helped reduce energy include changing the lamps on base to reduce electricity use, as well as putting aerators in shower heads, and changing flush valves to significantly lower water use.

“There have been instances where the Air Station couldn’t send Marines to the range, or had to limit operations due to budget constraints,” Tisdale said. “Everything we do to conserve resources has a direct impact on the Air Station’s mission and readiness. Every time you turn off a light when you leave a room or limit the lengths of your showers you directly help support the Air Station’s mission.” Energy saving initiatives and the small changes individuals make are vital to the mission of the DoD, the nation’s largest en-

ergy consumer. Last year, the Marine Corps spent $300 million on utilities alone, according to a DoD press release. “Marines are known for being the tip of the spear and their unwavering discipline,” said Gen. James F. Amos during a press conference in August. “Especially now, after large budget cuts, we need your help more than ever. By applying that same unwavering discipline and leadership Marines use in combat toward energy conservation, we could save the Corps’ funds.”

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort’s base firefighters taught students aboard Laurel Bay about fire safety during Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 6 through 10. Educating children on fire safety helps by making responsible citizens at a young age, and also educates the adults through the children.

Fire prevention week: educating the community Cpl. Sarah Cherry Staff Writer

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort’s base firefighters taught students aboard Laurel Bay about fire safety during Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 6 - 10. Each year, they focus on a different aspect of fire safety as well as the basics. The theme this year was checking smoke detectors. “Fire prevention week is important be-

cause we get the message out about the importance of preventing fires,” said Joseph Otterbine, lead fire inspector. “It works hand in hand with putting out fires.” Educating children on fire safety helps by making responsible citizens at a young age, and also educates adults through the children. “The children take the information to their parents and they actually practice it,”

said Otterbine. “They absorb everything you say and grab mom and dad and tell them everything they learned at school. That’s how we get the word out.” Some of the key information from this year’s fire prevention week is to check your smoke detectors, call 911 and practice stop, drop, roll and get low and go. Get low and go reminds children to crawl under smoke in the case of fire.

In past years, firefighters would demonstrate stop, drop and roll and get low and go and have several children demonstrate, but this year each child practiced these life saving techniques. “Community plus education equals lives saved,” said Otterbine. “Where fire prevention is concerned, making responsible children today makes responsible adults tomorrow.”

Marines, Romanian Land Forces conquer the mountains MIERCUREA CICU, Romania -- Marines and sailors from Black Sea Rotational Force participated in exercise Platinum Lynx 14.6 from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 in Miercurea Ciuc, Romania, alongside the 61st Mountain Troops Brigade from the Romanian Land Forces in the Carpathian Mountain range. The Romanian forces held a variety of safety classes for the service members, teaching numerous rope and knot systems and instructing on the proper techniques for rock climbing and rappelling. “A lot of Marines were scared of heights, or had fears of hanging from a rope with a knot that they tied themselves,” said 1st Lt. Steven Pickett, 5th Platoon Commander. “I believe a lot of Marines overcame those internal fears [during the exercise].” The service members completed multiple climbs and rappels, and a zip line portion of the training. Romanian and U.S. forces were then integrated into teams and donned their heavy gear to complete the hike portion of the exercise. the troops were pushed to their limits while ascending to a height of 1,790 m, deep into the Carpathian Mountains. After the hike, a live-fire range was conducted to demonstrate proper use of Romanian Land Force’s and Marines’ weapons systems. This allowed the two forces to increase each other’s capabilities if they ever were forced to use each other’s weapons. Platinum Lynx 14.6 promoted knowledge and understanding of skills and tactics in mountain regions between the Marines and Romanian Land Forces on the small-unit level. “We learned a lot of great things form the 61st Mountain Brigade,” said Pickett. “It helped train my Marines and it will help us in future operations in mountain environments.”

Forager Fury III comes to a close ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam – Despite the eye of Typhoon Vonfgong passing by Guam with winds estimated at 105 miles per hour on Oct. 6, Forager Fury III on Andersen Air Force Base was still marked as a success. An estimated 1,300 personnel participated in Forager Fury III, a Marine Corps led exercise that emphasized unit level tactical aviation and aviation ground support to further develop a distributed, expeditionary combat capability while training within the Marianas Island range complex. The training included close air support, forward air controller (airborne) training, air interdiction, air-to-air missions, defensive counter-air, offensive counter-air, air-to-surface and air-to-air missile shootings. “Forager Fury III was a fantastic exercise punctuated by high quality unit level training on ranges supporting live ordnance deliveries,” said Col. Hunter H. Hobson, commanding officer of Marine Aircraft Group 12, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. “These and other missions on these ranges greatly improve our combat readiness for the whole MAG, not just the aircrew and maintainers. We are a far more capable and ready unit following these exercises.” Even with the weather posing an obstacle during the exercise fully cancelling operations on Tinian earlier than expected, Marines did what they do best: adapt and overcome. FF III is a tactical exercise, but the participating service members also volunteered in the local community during their days off by visiting Guam’s Department of Youth Affairs’ inmates, helping repaint bus stops as part of a Habitat for Humanity project and also providing a chance for Okkodo High School’s Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers’Training Corps cadets to witness the different jobs the Marine Corps provides. “It was good for the Marines to have the (JROTC) cadets visit because they have a hand in forging the next generation of Marines, the ones that haven’t signed up yet,” according to Cmdr. Bob Vance, from Las Vegas, Nevada, a chaplain with MAG-12. “Anybody that has a chance to give back to the community, no matter what branch, is always good.” With all the accomplishments of the service members, the hardships they have faced and FF III complete, they can now return home. “While we have been in Guam and Tinian, we have been hit by two tropical storms and a typhoon, not to mention an earthquake,” said Hobson. “Despite the challenging weather, the aircrew did a superb job managing risk and getting the most of every training opportunity. I am happy and very proud of the hard work and dedication shown by all of our Marines and sailors.”

Marines learn to cut through crisis with Urban Search and Rescue Training Lance Cpl. Caitlyn Bevel I Marine Expeditionary Force

SAN FRANCISCO - Marine firefighters from I Marine Expeditionary Force and personnel from the province of Bohol, Philippines, trained for Urban Search and Rescue with the San Francisco Fire Department at Treasure Island, California, Oct. 10. The three-part training was part of San Francisco Fleet Week 2014 and focused on skills needed to rescue survivors in the aftermath of an earthquake or major disaster. “They’re moving and lifting heavy objects, learning some basic shoring techniques, and breaching, breaking and coring through concrete structures,” said Chief Warrant Officer 3 William Waugaman, a firefighter with I MEF. The Marines involved in the exercise had a lot to take in over the course of the training. “We, as the Marines, have been tasked by the MEF commander to assist the civil authority in recovery and resilience,” said Waugaman. “We are fostering trust and confidence with the San Francisco firefighters, learning their skill set, and becoming familiar with their tools and personnel.” However, the Marines weren’t focused on just learning a few new tricks. Throughout fleet week, they are working to build real relationships with their civilian counterparts and the people of San Francisco. “We want to show the people what we do every day. We’re war fighters, but we’re also in support of the local authority,” said Waugaman. “We need to be able to make those liaisons with a high level of trust so that we can get right into the fight and do the most good we can.” Many of the participants shared Waugaman’s sentiment, including representatives from the province of Bohol, Philippines, who are also taking part in the USAR training and fleet week. “We seized fleet week as an opportunity for us to be active participants in the process, especially for the medical and emergency services training for humanitarian assistance,” said Gliceria Doloritos, executive assistant with the Philippine province of Bohol, Office of the Governor. “I have learned a lot about the interoperability be-

tween agencies here in the United States working with the fire department and watching the Marines working with other agencies.” The province of Bohol currently has relatively limited interoperability between their civilian and military resources and is using their experiences in San Francisco to expand on what they know. “This is something that’s not necessarily new to us, but we can identify a number of approaches and strategies to really strengthen our way of thinking about working with different agencies in our locality,” said Doloritos. Doloritos explained that one of the things they wanted to learn was how the Marines approach the logistics of moving resources from place to place and then supporting the system and resources already in place. “We don’t have the luxury of logistical resources to move people and materials,” said Doloritos. “But what we’re more interested in is the way you do things here and how we can redefine these things so they’re more acceptable to us in our local environment.” The Philippine representatives accepted the invitation to participate in fleet week partially because of their recent history with disaster and their experience with the American military’s approach to humanitarian assistance. “In my province where we were hit by a 7.2 earthquake, although there was not much visibility of the U.S. Marines, we al-

ways felt the support of the United States and their people,” said Doloritos. Doloritos added that one of the greatest assets the Philippines has when trying to recover from a major disaster is a large number of people willing to go to the extreme to help each other, and the more they learn, the more effective those people can be. “I think we’re just fortunate enough to have friends like the people of the United States of America, who are more than willing to assist us not just in the aspect of development, but also in humanitarian support,” said Doloritos. Participating in fleet week gave both nations a better understanding of how they can work together in different scenarios and how to support each other, explained Doloritos. He added that they are thankful for the United States’ support, the invitation to fleet week, and the opportunity to learn. “In the overall scale, we’re so thankful, not only to the City of San Francisco, the fire department, the police department, the armed forces, the Navy, the Marines, the Coast Guard, but I think we should be more thankful to the whole brave and humble people of the United States of America,” said Doloritos. He said he agreed with the idea of Mayor Ed Lee, the Mayor of San Francisco, that to move into a new project or start something different, we have to start with relationships.

HMH-366 hone aerial refueling skills

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C. - Marines with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 366 honed their aerial refueling capabilities off the coast of North Carolina Oct. 8. The Marines of HMH-366, Heavy Helicopter Squadron 461 and Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252 coordinated the training to increase proficiency. According to Capt. Brent M. Schiffer, a naval aviator with the HMH-366, aerial refueling is one of the more frequent training missions conducted by pilots and aircrew because of its necessity to 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing’s capabilities. “The CH-53E Super Stallion is a versatile aircraft,” said Schiffer, a mission commander for the flight. “These aircraft expand the expeditionary capabilities of the Marine Corps aviation combat element.”

Super Stallion’s provide 2nd MAW with the ability to transport up to 24 troops into or out of combat, carry supplies, complete aerial deliveries and provide long-range raid capabilities for combat Marines. “Aerial refueling is a critical part of each mission,” said Schiffer, a native of Saint Augustine, Fla. “Staying proficient in this skill is essential to the readiness of our squadron.” During the training, the Super Stallion pilots followed behind a KC-130J Super Hercules from VMGR- 252. Schiffer, through precise maneuvering, connected the helicopter to a hose extending from the back of the Super Hercules. “One of the most difficult parts of a joint mission is coordinating the airborne meet up,” said Schiffer. Throughout the training, each of the pilots maintained constant communication with the other aircraft taking part. “What is beautiful about Marine Corps aviation is that ev-

erything is standardized,” said Schiffer. “Every squadron will conduct a mission the exact same way, which makes the transition seamless when deployed.” In order for pilots to concentrate on connecting during a refuel, they trust most of their situational awareness to the enlisted crew members in the back of the aircraft. Riding along with the pilots were two enlisted Marines, an aerial observer and a crew chief. “During a mission this spe-

cific, our job as the crew is to support the pilots,” said Cpl. Cody James, a crew chief with the squadron. Throughout the flight James and Staff Sgt. Donald M. Lindsey, the aerial observer for the flight, both with HMH-366, maintained constant surveillance on the position of the aircraft in flight. “The training went very smoothly,” said James, a native of Wasilla, Alaska. “The pilots were able to practice their skills and gain valuable experience.”

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – Marines with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 461, Marine Aircraft Group 29, 2nd Marine Air Wing, II Marine Expeditionary Force conducted a reactionary combat training exercise with the M777 Howitzer aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Sept. 30. The exercise helped develop the level of cohesion needed to allow the air and ground units to rapidly deploy the howitzer, improving the combined team’s reaction time and precision. The ability to deploy the weapon system and engage targets in a timely manner could be essential in a combat environment, but requires a high level of coordination between Marines from various units. Ideally, a well-trained team is capable of dropping off the crews and equipment, who can then engage targets within five to ten minutes, explained Lance Cpl. Christopher G. Powell, a helicopter crew chief with HMH-461. “This is good for reactionary combat situations,” said Powell. “We can go pick up the crew and gear and bring them from one place to another until the job is done and rounds are complete.” During the exercise, two CH-53E Super Stallions, known as Iron Horses, delivered the almost 10,000-pound artillery system and 155mm ammunition to a gun crew on the ground. Marines on the ground then set up targets and readied their M777 to fire. After firing the howitzer, the helicopters swept back over the field and landing support specialists with Combat Logistics Battalion 26, Combat Logistics Regiment 27,

2nd Marine Logistics Group reattached the equipment to the helicopters. The combined team then set out for a second landing zone and repeated the process. As a crew chief, Powell helped the pilots maneuver the 99-foot long helicopter as it delivered the howitzer and its ground crew to various firing positions around the base. “The pilots can’t see everything,” said Powell, who uses his vantage point behind the pilots to help maneuver the aircraft as it nears the ground. “We have [millions of dollars] worth of equipment underneath us, as well as the helicopter support team and the gun crew. You’re not only watching out for gear, you’re also watching out for people’s lives.” In addition to maintaining the aircraft and helping to man its internal weapons systems, safely offloading the equipment and personnel within the Iron Horse is one of Powell’s main missions.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – U.S. Marines with Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, participated in a raid-leaders course here Oct. 8. Marines with BLT 3/1 are the 15th MEU’s ground combat element and will deploy aboard the USS Essex Amphibious Ready Group in 2015. The raid-leaders course is intended to teach the leaders of 3/1, tactics and fundamentals to take back to their units. The course teaches basic shooting, breaching, raids, medical classes and military operations in urban terrain. “It’s really meant to be a train-the-trainer environment,” said Sgt. Jason St. John, 34, the class commander with weapons company, 3/1. “Once our raid packages begin later on in our workup for the MEU, we can be out there as subject-matter experts for the Marines going through these packages with us.” This package is helping the Marines improve their basic shooting skills and break bad habits they may have developed in the past. It puts them into a combat mindset to prepare for the upcoming deployment with the MEU. “This is better preparing the squad leaders and team leaders for [training] the Marines in their unit and battalion,” said Cpl. Justin Jobin, 24, a scout squad leader with 2nd platoon, 1st Light-Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. “It gets their combat mindset perfect and gets them to be more accurate than we have been in the past years.” During the shooting portion of the course, the Marines practiced close-quarters combat drills and stoppage and malfunction drills. One of the drills required the Marines to fix malfunctions while blind-folded. The purpose of this drill is to ensure that the Marines are able to fix malfunctions without physically having to look down at the weapon. This way they can keep their eyes up and focused on the fight. Improving proficiency in individual skills reinforces the MEU’s ability to conduct amphibious operations, crisis response, and limited contingency operations. The Marines going through this course will be better prepared for the missions coming their way. “These guys are working really hard,” St. John said. “By the time we’re on ship, we’ll be ready to go out and be put into any type of mission. This group is going to be dedicated, dynamic and [be able to] go into any situation that presents itself.”

If a chain holding a howitzer breaks or equipment is dropped inadvertently, the Marines on the ground could be endangered. Additionally, any gear that inadvertently comes in contact with the ground could endanger both the aircraft and crew inside. Pilots and their air crews regularly brief each other on emergency procedures and any potential hazards such as inclement weather or ground obstacles. Each time the helicopter lands, Marines on the ground are also given safety guidelines to help maintain the speed and precision necessary to execute lift missions. Accuracy during such exercises promotes precision and minimal errors during real-life missions. Continuous joint air-ground training is necessary to maintain readiness and effectiveness for future missions. “This is something we are called to do, so we are going to excel at it,” Powell said.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Marines from Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252 and Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command performed bilateral static-line jump training and a Container Delivery System drop near Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 29. Pilots and crew with VMGR-252 flew a KC130J Super Hercules from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., to MCAS New River, N.C., where they picked up more than 40 Marines for the exercise in Tennessee. “Our mission for the exercise was to support the MARSOC Marines with an aerial insertion for their long-range raid training,” said Capt. Tyler Burnham, a naval aviator and mission commander with the squadron. The Marines also dropped a CDS containing supplies and meals for the special operators. In order to perform a proper CDS, the crew chiefs rigged the system with a parachute to the static-line. Once the crew chiefs confirmed with the pilots and mission commander they were over the landing zone, they released the systems from the back of the aircraft. Communication among crew members is the key to a well executed mission, according to Burnham. “For this type of training you need to learn the procedures, techniques and retain that knowledge,” said Gunnery Sgt. John Marsh, a KC-130J crew chief with the squadron.“We had a few junior Marines who received their initial qualifications during this training. Learning the procedures and communicating is key to mission success. It takes knowledge, practice and then even more practice to become proficient.” According to Marsh, the MARSOC Marines jumped from 10,000 feet and landed in a small, unfamiliar drop zone. The crew chiefs control the pace of the mission, said Marsh. They set up and retrieve the static-line between each group of jumpers and also ensure all jumpers exit the aircraft within a safe window. “Part of the job is watching over and taking care our own,” said Marsh. “When Marines hit the ground, they need to be flexible and maintain an operational mindset. The job of the crew members aboard the aircraft is ensuring they hit the ground safely.”

Lance Corporal Leadership Ethics Seminar sharpens future leaders Cpl. Brendan Roethel Staff Writer

From the moment new recruits set foot onto the yellow foot prints at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island or Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, it is instilled in them that every Marine is a leader. Thirty junior Marines throughout Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron gathered for a week long leadership-focused course aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Oct. 6-10. The Lance Corporal Leadership

Ethics Seminar is being held to open the eyes of junior Marines as to what the Marine Corps has to offer, refresh the principals instilled in all enlisted Marines at boot camp, and sharpen the Corps ranks preparing to become tomorrow’s future noncommissioned officers. “Before attending the course I expected to just sit at a desk and watch slideshows for a week, but instead the training has kept me constantly engaged by discussing different scenarios and topics Marine leaders face,” said Lance Cpl. Zane Abedin, a comptroller

for the Air Station. “Before attending the seminar I knew some of the textbook leadership principals, but didn’t really know what it meant to have my own leadership style. By being active in the discussions and debating with my peers I’m really able to decide what kind of leader I want to be. That is something I will take with me and continue to develop long after I graduate the course.” The Lance Corporal Seminar focuses on the whole Marine concept. The seminar covers topics such as customs and courtesies, diet and physical fitness, special

duty assignments, finances, the structure and inner workings of the Corps, and more. During the course, Marines conducted several physical training sessions and performed a Combat Fitness Test. “Being able to watch these Lance Corporals, some only having been in for nine months, discuss and find their own leadership styles with one another is amazing,” said Gunnery Sgt. James Lock, the director of the seminar. “During the seminar, we put them in the shoes of leaders throughout the command and asked them what they would do in that situation. By do-

ing that, we forced them to take a step back, see the larger picture and make strong decisions that they could defend. By doing this they can learn more about how the Marine Corps operates and the weight their decisions carry.” By focusing on the largest group of Marines, the course seeks to prepare junior Marines to fill leadership positions and become the strong corporals and sergeants that will serve as the backbone of the Marine Corps, in accordance with the Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James F. Amos’ Reawakening campaign.
