WASHINGTON -- Gen. James F. Amos, the 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps, relinquished command of the Marine Corps to Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr., Oct. 17 at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C. The ceremony started with musical performances from “The Commandant’s Own,” The United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps and

“The President’s Own,” United States Marine Band. The ceremonial companies of the Barracks marched onto the parade deck and fixed their bayonets. Amos and Dunford were then called to their positions on the parade deck. The battle colors were passed from Amos to Dunford signifying the passing of command and responsibility. “My focus in the coming years will be to take care of our Marines and

their families, and to ensure our Corps remains an expeditionary force of readiness our nation has come to expect,” said Dunford. Dunford received his commission as an infantry officer in 1977, a career leading to billets such as company and regimental commander, senior aide to the commandant and assistant commandant of the Marine Corps. see

A power trip

Lt. Twig Sargent

MCAS Beaufort Staff Chaplain

In 1979, Bob Dylan touched a cultural nerve with his Grammy award winning song, “Gotta Serve Somebody.” Dylan sings, “Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you’re gonna have to serve somebody.” Everybody serves somebody. Whether you are a Marine/ Sailor under the CO’s command, a driver obeying (hopefully) traffic laws, or a child obeying his parents. Everybody is under someone else’s control. Dylan hints that the person holding the power may or may not use his power for your good, but nevertheless, all of us serve somebody. Sometimes, those over us misuse their power. Hopefully, in these cases, we have a way to receive true justice (civil/military laws, appealing to the chain of command, writing your Congressman/woman, right to a trial by your peers, etc.). In these cases, abuse of power needs correction. But before you turn this into a “blame-it-on-someone-else” moment, let me tell you a story. I once heard a story of a girl, named Katherine who was 9 or 10 years old and her younger brother named Billy. Billy had a several dimes in his piggy bank. Knowing what was in Billy’s piggy bank,

Katherine hatched a scheme. “Hey Billy,” she said, “will you trade me my nickels for your dimes? The nickels are bigger. Don’t you want to have the “bigger” coins?” Billy thought, “Bigger is better. If nickels are bigger than dimes, they must be worth more.” Billy agreed and Katharine gladly gave him her nickels for his dimes. Katharine tells us a lot about ourselves. We are all are in positions of power. We may not be the officer in charge of squadron “x” or section “y,” but all of us have power over someone else. We may be parents over our children, Corporals in

have been given (like me). All of us then are on both sides of the equation; both having received abuse from another’s misuse power AND misusing the power we have been given. So what then do we do? The answer can be humbling. You see, in both cases the answer lies outside of ourselves. When we are the abused person, we are to seek justice outside of ourselves. Hopefully, true justice is served. But the in the other case (that we sometimes abuse power), this also lies outside of ourselves. As we see that our neighbor is much like us, then we can practice forgiveness towards each other. “Love your neighbor as yourself,” the Bible says in Leviticus 19:18. But the answer lies outside of ourselves deeper still. Full forgiveness must come from someone who ALWAYS uses his power for our benefit. God in his grace is in the midst of a rescue mission by means of One who ALWAYS uses His power to benefit others. He uses his power to rescue us from the wrongs done to us AND the wrongs done BY us. If you want to hear about this Rescuer, I encourage you to take advantage of the MCAS Beaufort Chapel worship schedule, Sundays: Lutheran Eucharist 8:30 a.m., Roman Catholic Mass 9:30 a.m. and Protestant Worship at 11 a.m.

He uses his power to rescue us from the wrongs done to us AND the wrongs done BY us.” Lt. Twig Sargent charge of a fire team or older sisters with younger brothers. I venture to say that all of us have been Katherine’s position, using our power to benefit ourselves firstly and foremost. My question to you is “How do you use the power you have been given?” Do you use your power ALWAYS to benefit others and not only for personal gain? If the answer is not “always,” then you have abused the power that you

Fightertown gets shaken, not stirred

Cpl. Brendan Roethel Staff Writer

Although South Carolina is usually not known for earthquakes, service members aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort participated in the Great SouthEast ShakeOut earthquake drill, Oct. 16. The Great SouthEast ShakeOut is a multi-state earthquake drill spanning much of the southeast. ShakeOut activities for South Carolina are supported by the South

Carolina Emergency Management Division. “The Great SouthEast ShakeOut is a great opportunity for everyone on base to quickly practice and refresh the potentially life-saving steps that should be taken during an earthquake,” said Joseph Parisi, the Natural Disaster Response Team facilitator for South Carolina. “During the ShakeOut participants practice immediately dropping to the ground, taking cover under a sturdy table or desk while protect-

ing their head and neck, and holding on until the shaking stops, or as we like to say drop, cover, and hold on.” South Carolina records 10 to 30 earthquakes annually with approximately two to five strong enough to be felt each year, according to the South Carolina Emergency Management Division. These earthquakes tend to be less than a 3.0 on the Richter Magnitude Scale and cause little damage. Although strong earthquakes are rare, South

Carolina has experienced strong earthquakes in the past. On August 31, 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, experienced the most damaging earthquake in the eastern United States. The initial shock lasted nearly one minute. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.3 and was felt over 2.5 million square miles, from Cuba to New York, and Bermuda to the Mississippi River. Structural damage extended several hundred miles to cities in Alabama, Ohio, and Ken-

tucky. “While earthquake hazards are not extremely high here, most of the Southeast is prone to earthquakes,” Parisi said. “You could be anywhere when an earthquake strikes, and by preparing for the next big earthquake now, we can better our chances of survival and the ability to carry on with our mission.” For more information visit www. redcross.org/prepare/disaster/ earthquake.

“I got to know Joe Dunford quite well the last 20 months,” Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said. “I have come to rely on his wise judgment— The President of the United States trusts his judgment.” Amos is retiring after 44 years of service across two branches. Starting as a naval aviator, he crossed the flight deck to fly for the Marines. He served as the II Marine Expeditionary Force commanding general, assistant commandant of the Marine Corps and served as the 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps for four years. “(Amos’) lasting legacy will be the Marine Corps’ new traditions firmly rooted, leaving behind a Corps that is stronger than ever before,” said Hagel. Some of the attendants of the event included the Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, previous commandants and military leaders from all U.S. military branches and allied nations. “This morning I’m not as proud to be the commandant as I am simply to wear the cloth of a United States Marine,” Dunford said. “I can say all of this, in large part, is due to the leadership of our 35th commandant.”

Wash your hands, avoid contact with sick people or their bodily fluids, and avoid contact with raw meat or fluids from nonhuman primates. “Travel to Africa should be avoided until epidemic conditions are relieved,” said the Mission Assurance Branch in a base wide e-mail. The CDC has issued travel warnings for several African countries including Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and the the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

NATO Chairman visits War College, speaks about future of alliance MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va., -Danish Gen. Knud Bartels, Chairman of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Military Committee, visited the Marine Corps War College at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia Oct. 3, during his tour of the United States. As the Corp’s senior professional military education institution, the college educates civilian and military professionals in order to develop critical thinkers, military strategists, joint warfighters and strategic leaders. This prepares them to meet the challenges of a complex and dynamic security environment, grounded in enduring principles and values while adapting to any mission. NATO is devoted to the peaceful resolution of international disputes. If this peaceful means fail, their military capacity is used for crisis-management operations. NATO currently has 28 members such as Denmark, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. The visit also highlighted the NATO agenda after the Wales Summit, which include creating a rapid response force, increased defense spending, education, training, evaluation and exercises, the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the growing instability throughout the world. Due to Russia’s aggressive actions against Ukraine, it as fundamentally challenged the vision of a free Europe, whole and at peace, according to General Bartels. As a result NATO remains the most important transatlantic forum for security consultation and cooperation to avoid conflict with Russia. The visit focused on the students so they could have a strong idea of NATO’s current conflicts and its future.

Integrated Task Force gunny earns GySgt Carlos Hathcock Award MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- All Marines are familiar with the legend of Gunnery Sgt. Carlos N. Hathcock II. A renowned sniper known for his exploits in the Vietnam War, Hathcock would leave the Marine Corps a fundamentally improved institution in the grounds of rifle marksmanship. Today, those who strive to put the same effort in supporting marksmanship can be recipients of his legacy through the Gunnery Sgt. Carlos N. Hathcock II Award. Gunnery Sgt. Robert V. Mendoza, company gunnery sergeant, Company B, Ground Combat Element Integrated Task Force, is the most recent recipient of the award. It is one of several annually given to deserving service members, and is presented by the Marine Corps League. Nominations make their way to Headquarters Marine Corps, where Sgt. Maj. Michael P. Barrett, sergeant major of the Marine Corps, reviews and selects recipients. Mendoza was selected as a result of his performance while serving as marksmanship training unit instructor and assault amphibian vehicle gunnery training coordinator for Headquarters and Service Company, 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, from Feb. 25, 2013 to Jan.1, 2014. In doing so, Mendoza took a lead role in course of action development planning meetings, and made decisions and recommendations in the revision and application of training and readiness standards to improve proficiency within the assault amphibian field. He also directly contributed to the training of over 1,600 Marines in both rifle and pistol marksmanship training over 15 rifle range details, leading to a 98 percent qualification rate for which 68 percent of Marines earned expert rating. As a result, 2nd AAV Bn., was awarded the 2nd MarDiv “Follow Me” award for superior performance in marksmanship. The presentation of the award was hosted aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, Sept. 24, 2014. Mendoza, along with other Marines and one sailor whom were fellow recipients of the 2014 Marine Corps League Enlisted Awards, were recognized by Sgt. Maj. Barrett and Gen. James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps. Following the ceremony, the recipients attended a formal dinner at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Pentagon City. “Receiving the award was a privilege and an honor,” Mendoza said. “It was an exciting moment for me and for my family as well. Gunny Hathcock was an icon to the Marine Corps,” Mendoza said. “The award keeps the tradition ‘every Marine a rifleman’ alive.” Mendoza’s accomplishments make him a valuable asset to the task force, and one that is more than prepared to serve the unit through to the very end.

A Bulgarian soldier repels an enemy attack during Exercise Strike Back, Oct. 15 at the Koren Field Training Ground, Bulgaria. Strike Back is a multilateral combat exercise designed to prepare Bulgarian forces to control, command and operate with jointnation forces. The training consisted of defensive tactics and offensive objectives and maneuvers.

U.S., Bulgaria resilient as threat looms Sgt. Derrick Irions Marine Corps Forces Africa

PLOVDIV, Bulgaria -- U.S. and Bulgaria military exercises demonstrate a combined commitment to preserving European security amidst recent Russian aggression. As current regional tensions in Eastern Europe intensify, NATO partnerships are vital to deescalating and deterring threats. During a recent training exercise, the U.S. and Bulgaria forces refined offensive and defensive tactics and sharpened jointforce techniques. Through operational standardization, integration and cooperation, these partnerships amplify the probability of future mission success. “A big focus was how the Bulgarians interacted with the Americans,” said 1st Lt. Brent Ogden, battalion adjutant with 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary

Force. “The Bulgarians showing they have command and control over American units is fantastic. It empowers them and gives them a lot of confidence.” The bilateral training events prepare coalitions to effectively address real-world aggression that threaten an allies sovereignty. This mission directly coincides with Article 5 of NATO’s founding treaty, which basically states that any attack against one member of the alliance is an attack against them all, enabling collective defense. Most recently, Russian separatists portrayed this type of aggression during months of fighting in Eastern Ukraine. While a ceasefire between the two is in place, fighting continues to be reported in the area. “This training is a great opportunity to show our commitment to NATO partners and allies,” said Ogden. “Being able to come out here and train with the Bulgarians, to learn from them, and teach them

if we can, is a great way to show them that no matter what happens the United States will be there.” Exercise Strike Back is a Bulgarian hosted event as part of the U.S. Europe Command’s program for regional stability and security. The training provided a platform for U.S. and Bulgarian forces to share tactics and best practices when conducting troop maneuvers, artillery fire and airstrikes. Ogden said this forum strengthens the line of communication and bolsters familiarity between the two NATO allies. Bulgaria first became a member of the NATO alliance in 2004. Bulgaria is taking active measures to ensure the security of the Baltic and European regions by hosting joint-military exercise operations with other NATO allies and partners. “Nations like this, in this region, are whom we might be working with,” said Ogden.

Riverine tactics deter illicit activity on Cameroon waterways SIGONELLA, Italy -- Countries in Africa with access to coastal and inland waterways like Cameroon have placed great emphasis on riverine operations and patrolling to help ensure the safety and security of their border. Marines, Sailors and Coast Guardsmen from Security Cooperation Team 5 Bravo, Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force-Crisis Response-Africa, completed a theater security cooperation exercise with members of the Cameroonian Naval Commando Company during the month of September. The skills and tactics shared during the engagement can help develop interoperability between different services. The purpose of the engagement was to increase overall proficiency in riverine opera-

tions, patrolling and infantry tactics, as well as noncommissioned officer leadership. “We showed the [COPALCO] coxswains how to do tighter turns tand travel in various formations, such as the column and wedge, which can be used to maximize firepower and safety of boats and personnel,” said Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Yosida Phaypanya. Maneuvering in the river, while simultaneously fighting against currents and other natural obstacles, is a key component of maritime interdiction operations. It creates the ability for the COPALCO to react in an instant, which can assist with combating drug smuggling and pursuing individuals entering the country illegally. The team started with marksmanship training, ensuring all safety precautions were taken, and built upon the fundamentals leading up to a live-

fire range and timed shooting competition between the NCOs of the COPALCO. This gave the Marines of SP-MAGTF Africa an opportunity to see the unique capabilities the COPALCO NCOs bring to the fight. Cpls. Micah Gray and Isaac Althoff (two coaches with SCT5B) even gave the commands “Shoot. Move. Fire.” in French. Riverine training concluded with a final exercise, combining insertion and extraction of troops, river formations and patrolling on shore. The final

exercise was followed by the presentation of a ceremonial “oar” to the COPALCO, which represented the Marines, Sailors and Coast Guardsmen of SCT-5B and the service camaraderie developed during training.

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. -UH-1Y Huey pilots and crews with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron (HMLA) 369 “Gunfighters,” took to the air for familiarization training aboard Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, Calif., Oct. 16. Although this training occurs fairly often, it allows pilots and crew members, or those who haven’t flown in a while, a chance to gain valuable time flying the aircraft. “We focused on the basics,” said Capt. Matt Blose, a Huey pilot with the Gunfighters. “If we’re out of the cockpit for a while, we can become a little rusty – kind of like not riding a bike for a while.” The first portion of the familiarization flight consisted of maneuvers and confined area landings, what Blose called, “the basics.” Crew chiefs and pilots worked together to ensure they were safe from other aircraft, power lines and obstacles on the ground while landing.

“We’re there to keep the pilots informed on how the aircraft is compared to obstacles or threats, because they don’t have a 360 degree view of their surroundings,” said Sgt. John Petersen, a crew chief with the Gunfighters. “We help keep them honest.” Later on, pilots relied on crew chiefs and their instruments alone to fly, much like they would in poor weather. No matter the conditions,

31st MEU visits Bataan Death March Memorial TARLAC, Luzon, Philippines -- Blood, sweat, tears, agony and pain,The Bataan Death March is defined by these words. An 80-mile march destroyed thousands of lives and ruined families. To honor those, who are no longer here is never to forget. Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit visited the Bataan Death March Memorial at Capas National Shrine, Capas, the Philippines, to learn lessons about Philippine and U.S. shared history and to pay homage to the fallen during Amphibious Landing Exercise 15, Oct. 8. The Battle of Bataan began when the Japanese launched a surprise air attack on the Philippine Islands only five months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941. The attack was preceded by a ground invasion, which turned into a brutal three-month long battle beginning on April 9, 1942. At its conclusion, over 60,000 Filipino and 15,000 American forces became prisoners of war. The prisoners were forced to march north to prisoner camps, were beaten, exposed to the elements, starved and humiliated during the entire trek. This ordeal became known as the Bataan Death March. U.S. Navy Lt. Yontan Warren orchestrated the visit, led the tour of the memorial, and shared the history of the march with the Marines. “It’s a wonderful experience,” said Warren, chaplain of Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st MEU. “[We are] able to connect the souls of those who are living today to the souls of those aren’t with us anymore.” In 2003, the Capas National Shrine became open to the public. Now, people from all over the world can honor the memory of those who were part of the march. “It felt good to be able to learn about this part of our country’s history, how we interacted with other cultures and why we keep coming back,” said Lance Cpl. Joseph Hawkins, a Towed Artillery Systems Technician with CLB-31, 31st MEU. “I always heard things on the History Channel about the Bataan Death March, but I didn’t know much about it until now.” Engraved names and memories of the fallen adorn the walls of the memorial. There are thousands of names of those endured the march. There are still names being etched into the stone. In total, more than one hundred Marines visited the site in two days.

Gunfighters get teams into hard to reach areas, or provide support to other aircraft bringing Marines or supplies to where they are needed. Blose, Petersen and their peers know how important their missions can be to the Marine Corps and the Marines on the ground fighting. “If we aren’t proficient at what we do, we aren’t providing the best product we can to men on the ground; that

could kill them,” said Petersen. Providing the best product possible is something Blose takes great pride in. “It’s a great feeling to know I can be there to support the guys on the ground,” said Blose. “Working with guys in the back of the aircraft with a lot of experience, having a great team and making sure they get back safe and get to come home at the end of the day is just great.”

Jacob Sprinkle had been tied to the Marine Corps since birth, born 13 years ago on November 10 — the Marine Corps’ birthday. Sadly, Jacob would never live to serve in the Corps, but now, in death, he bears the title of “Marine.” More than 100 guests filled the Jonesville, Virginia Lee County High School auditorium to participate in a ceremony posthumously honoring Jacob with the title “Honorary Marine,” an award less than 100 people have ever been recognized with. The nomination for honorary Marine must come from a general officer. “I made that recommendation to the commandant of the Marine Corps and appeared today to honor Jacob,” said Lt. Gen. John Toolan, Marine Corps Forces, Pacific commander. Jacob was born to Rick and Monique Sprinkle on Nov. 10, 2000, with a severe heart defect that he fought for the rest of his life, causing him numerous surgeries, heart-valve replacements, a stroke and a heart transplant. Despite the numerous pain-filled treatments, surgeries and recoveries he endured, the die-hard Notre Dame fan never cried, or gave up. “He was a very strong child to go through all that he had to go through, and to fight as hard as he did.” said Donna Arnold, a family friend. “He fought hard and has made a lasting impression on everyone that ever got to know him.” Despite his physical restraints, the 5ft. 2in., Star Wars-fan aspired to be a third-generation Marine eager to step on the yellow footprints that his father, an 8-year mortarman, and his grandfather, a combat engineer, once did. “Jacob was not going to be able to serve due to his physical condition, but it was something that was important to him,” said Rick Sprinkle. “It is an incredible honor for me and my family that Jacob has earned the title,”Sprinkle said. “Thanks to all the people involved who helped him to become a Marine.” At the conclusion of the ceremony, the crowd stood, tears creasing faces and chills sprinting down spines during an acapella singing of the Marines’ Hymn. The last lines of the final verse finished, “if the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven’s scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.”
