Next Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Announced Office of Marine Corps Communication Defense Media Activity

The Commandant of the Marine Corps announced today the selection of Sgt. Maj. Ronald L. Green as the next Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. “It gives me great pleasure to name Sgt. Maj. Green as the 18th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps,” said Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., the commandant of the Marine Corps. “His dynamic leadership is well known throughout the ranks of our Corps. His wide range of experience in both peacetime and combat, and his record of performance make him extraordinarily well-qualified to serve as our senior enlisted leader,” Dunford

said. Green, currently the sergeant major of I Marine Expeditionary Force (I MEF), will replace Sgt. Maj. Micheal P. Barrett, who has held the billet since June 2011. Barrett is credited with improving Marines’ training, education, compensation, quality of life, bachelor enlisted quarters, on-base housing, and family support programs. “Sgt. Maj. Barrett has poured his heart and soul into serving Marines, Sailors, and their families,” Dunford said. “He has truly made a positive impact on the combat readiness of our Corps.” The relief and appointment ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m., Feb. 20, at the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia.

Empowering young minds Pfc. Samantha Torres Staff Writer

Every 40 seconds in the United States, a child becomes missing or is abducted, according to the FBI. Marine Corps Community Services held a Resisting Aggresion Defensively , or radKIDS program, Jan. 12-16, that teaches children ages 5-12 how to defend themselves and how to get help. Through radKIDS training, children become empowered and learn to

replace fear, confusion, and panic of dangerous situations with confidence, personal safety skills, and self esteem. “It empowers them to stop somebody who is trying to hurt them,” said Josh Cole, a radKIDS instructor. The purpose of radKIDS is to provide education that enhances the abillity of children and parents to utilize knowledge, skills, and power to protect themselves from violence and see

Christians and Politics: Part I CDR William Holiman

MCAS Beaufort Command Chaplain

Usually the Chaplain Corner article tells a story or gives advice about how to make your life better in some way, maybe anger management or suicide prevention. But now that the elections are done for this year I would like to address a hot button issue in the calmness of knowing that most of us won’t have to vote for two more years. It is about Christians and politics. Yes, I know that is more scary than a haunted house but stay with me. The last time I was at sea, onboard USS WASP (LHD 1) we had a video Bible study by a prominent Dallas Theological Seminary teacher from Romans 13. The video was made as he addressed an audience of Army ROTC cadets at Texas A & M as I recall. He called them all Ministers of God and proceeded to preach from Ro 13 on their authority and responsibilities. Well, one of our officers who was attending the Bible study was so upset by calling members of the military “Ministers of God” that she began to drown out the video feed with her loud objections and finally she got up and ran out of the chapel. So I know that there are strong opinions on this subject. Here is a little of what Paul says: Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. (Romans 13:1-4a, New American Standard Bible) What do we do with what Paul says about the governing authorities? Re-

member something important, when Paul wrote Romans 13 almost no Christians worked for the Roman government. The emperor, the Caesar, was named Nero and as the old joke goes, we name our kids Paul and our dogs Nero. Nero was not a nice man. And for nearly 300 years the Christian Church made it a Church rule that no one could be a church member and work for the government. It was only after the Emperor Constantine became a Christian in the 4th century that Church and state began to be on friendly terms. Today all Americans, including people of faith, are by definition part of the government. We on this base are part of the Armed Forces, the folks “who carry the sword” as Paul describes government. And even if we weren’t in the military every US citizen is part of the government. We vote, we pay taxes, we are selfgoverning. For us the government is not something far away, it is right here, we are deeply engaged in the government. The same letter that tells us “The gospel is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes;” that tells us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices to God, also tells us to submit to the governing authorities, that those who govern are established by God, even Nero, that they are to reward the good and punish the bad. The government carries the sword. We are to be conscientious citizens, as John Stott puts it. Paul tells us there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Therefore the one who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has established. That seems pretty straightforward and of course many people have taken it as absolute. When Pilate questioned Jesus, Pilate thought that he had all power in earth. Jesus corrected him, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above.” (John 19:11).

Usually the ones who want you to absolutely obey are those in power. But I submit that Paul is giving a general statement. He is as John Stott puts it, giving a divine ideal, not the human reality. We submit to the state when it is right, but not when it is wrong. Even in the military we are not supposed to carry out an illegal order. So with God and the government, we obey the government, we are conscientious citizens, we participate by voting, obeying the laws, paying taxes, going to work, and carrying out our duties. But sometimes we have to stand up and say that the government is wrong. Sometimes it is the government that is rebelling against God. In Exodus we read of the Hebrew midwives who did not obey Pharaoh’s command to kill the Hebrew boy babies and it said that God blessed them for that. When king Nebuchadnezzar commanded that everyone must bow and worship his golden image, the three young Hebrew men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego refused to obey. We could go on with many examples in both the Bible and in our own life experiences. You get the idea. When the government is wrong, we should say so and do something about it. Yet, the general principle of conscientious citizenship was followed by all these characters that I have just listed. Christians are not to be anarchists and bomb-throwers. We are not to be suicide bombers either. We are to conscientiously uphold the proper authority of the state. We are to participate in the state. Daniel worked for the Babylonian government. David was a king. Roman Centurions in the Gospels and Acts are always people of the highest possible character. So when we get frustrated with government and the people in authority over us, remember that Christians are supposed to be conscientious citizens. We participate even when things are a mess. More next time!

TA updates raise bar for Marine students Cpl. Sarah Cherry Staff Writer

The Marine Corps has updated regulations for tuition assistance in the 2015 fiscal year. Marines now have longer to apply before their class and more stringent grade policies, according to Marine Administrative Message 687/14. “This is such a great opportunity to be able to take advantage of,” said Jessika Fusco, education technician for the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort education office. “It’s important that TA institutes personal responsibility.” Students may apply for courses 60 days in advance instead of 30, but must maintain higher grade point averages in the courses they are taking. “There are plusses and minuses. It’s definitely more accessible,” said Fusco. She also cautioned that “Marines do need to be aware of their work and school balance.” Undergraduate students must maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher after 15 semester hours, and graduate students must maintain a 3.0 or higher after six semester hours. “It gives a baseline standard that will keep them on top of their studies,” said Fusco. “It

will definitely help them if they’re looking for an extra edge to advance.” If their GPA falls below these requirements, TA will not be authorized until the students GPA is back within acceptable standards. In the past, students who fail or receive an incomplete for a course would be required to pay back the government for TA, but that has now extended to grades of D in undergraduate classwork and C in graduate classwork. Tuition assistance is no longer given for course work past a Master’s degree. If a student has failed a course or had an approved involuntary withdrawal waiver, the course cost will still count toward their individual TA funding total. Other changes to tuition in the coming year include more stringent requirements for career and technical certification courses. Certificate programs need to be recognized by the Department of Education, approved by the Department of Veteran Affairs, must have signed a Department of Defense memorandum of understanding, and comply with TA eligibility requirements. For more information, call the MCAS Beaufort education office at 228-7421. Raising the bar for tuition assistance raises standards of success for all Marine students.

INSPECTION continued from page 1

Marine is a rifleman, and our specific job as MALS is to support the flight line. In a lot of ways, those skills are separate and it’s important to evaluate both skill sets.” One section with outstanding marks this year is the legal office for MALS-31, one of four sections to receive the highest grade of noteworthy. Last year, four sections received a noteworthy. “There are three main reasons why we received a noteworthy in the legal section,” said First Lt. William Dunst, legal and personnel officer for MALS-31 from Phoenix, Az. “Processes and preparation, engaged leadership, and total quality management tie directly into process. “My Marines work for me, but I also work for them. It’s vertical and lateral leadership,” added Dunst. “You have to put your best foot forward in everything that you do.”

Six months before the CGI, the MALS-31 legal section scoured through all of their processes to make sure guidelines were followed and appropriate fail safes in place, and began looking for improvement. “My Marines have been relentless in their pursuit of perfection,” said Dunst. “They put in long hours and hard work. We reviewed and critiqued our processes, perfecting those processes to better help our customers and ensure communication and follow-up.” MALS-31 has 55 programs on their inspection checklist. Programs have managers who evaluate their program every six months, from hazing and privacy act to promotions and training management. “There’s absolutely a lot of preparation that goes into it,” said Booth. “The CGI gives the commanding officer an overview of the unit so he can know the strengths of his unit, and know what steps need to be taken to improve weak points.”

HAZWOPER: Same vital training, lower cost

Cpl. Sarah Cherry Staff Writer

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort is improving efficiency in 2015 is with updates to the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response training course. The cost-saving changes began with the Jan. 12 – Jan. 16 HAZWOPER course. The course is required by federal law and regulation for Marines

aboard the Air Station performing work that could expose them to hazardous substances. “Since we generate hazardous material, there’s a chance that an emergency could occur,” said Corey Jackson, Comprehensive Environmental Training and Education Program coordinator and new instructor for the HAZWOPER course. “Before we would have contractors come out and provide the training.”

Now, Jackson is certified to teach the course, which benefits the Air Station by drastically reducing the cost. Although the standard is the same, it is now provided at a better cost. “When you look at the change in cost, it’s a no-brainer,” said Jackson. “It’s a 40 hour course, and could cost anywhere from 600 to 1000 thousand dollars [to have a contractor teach the course or send Marines to a resident course]

With Jackson providing instruction locally, the course now costs less than 50 dollars per student, he said. For Air Station Marines, the course can now be taught specifically for them; specific hazards they have encountered, are likely to encounter, and historical examples. “It’s critical that you use familiar examples so the attendees can see first-hand the reality or

the possibility of that emergency occurring,” said Jackson. “I try to look at the hazards specific to the Marines’ unit so we can dispel the myths and address how situations have been handled well or poorly in the past.” Providing the same training with a lower price tag will benefit the Air Station, as well as the Marines taking the course with a local instructor more familiar with the specific hazards they may face.

CLB-31 HAST responds to disaster scenario CAMP HANSEN, Japan -- On March 11, 2011, the worst undersea earthquake to affect Japan struck at a magnitude of 9.0 off the coast of Honshu creating waves exceeding one-hundred feet in height. In November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan/ Yolanda, the strongest recorded typhoon the Philippines has experienced, struck the coast. In response to these disasters, the Marine Corps sent a humanitarian assistance survey team to assess what requirements are needed for a humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operation. “The HAST goes in to determine the number of people displaced, the amount of supplies needed, the number of buildings damaged and to see what we can provide, things like food, construction or water,” said Sgt. Trevor McNally, the engineer chief with Engineer Platoon, Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. Typhoons and natural disasters are common in the Asia-Pacific region, according to McNally, from Hinckley, Minnesota. It’s important to build a muscle memory and rehearse disaster scenarios to reduce error when responding to a natural disaster. The HAST refined their skills by responding to locations with simulated damage around Camp Hansen Jan. 13. They provided reconnaissance around a simulated town, determined affected areas, located critical infrastructure, looked for fresh water and established staging areas for supplies and people. They measured roads to ensure that tactical vehicles could drive on them and they snapped photographs of the damage, roads and buildings to assist their planning efforts. The scenarios are meant to prepare them to respond efficiently at a moment’s notice.

Futenma Marines rehearse arrested landing safety procedures MARINE CORPS AIR STATION FUTENMA, Japan -- Marines executed arrested landing safety training Jan. 9 on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma. The Marines are expeditionary airfield systems technicians with Headquarters & Headquarters Squadron, MCAS Futenma, Marine Corps Installations Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan. In an arrested landing, either a safety barrier or other equipment, such as nylon arresting wire, is used to rapidly decelerate an aircraft. As an incoming aircraft touches down, its tailhook latches onto the wire, causing it to stop at a shorter distance than in a typical landing. Arrested landings are standard procedure on aircraft carriers due to the short length of the flight deck, according to Sgt. David J. Fredenberg, a runway supervisor and expeditionary airfield systems technician with H&HS, MCAS Futenma, MCIPAC. The training ensured that the Marines on the air strip were proficient at following safety guidelines during an arrested landing. “Marines need to be well-rehearsed in the execution of arrestments and other procedures to reduce the risk of injuries on the airstrip,” said Lance Cpl. Ronald Summerlin, a Virginia Beach, Virginia, native and an expeditionary airfield systems technician with H&HS, MCAS Futenma, MCIPAC. Marines practice arrested landings on airfields to prepare for landing on aircraft carriers and other situations in which time and space are limited. Training on land enables a smooth transition to those situations. “If we are in a combat zone where there are high-density operations, it is very possible to have to execute multiple arrestments backto-back to support the aircraft,” said Fredenberg, a Madison, Wisconsin, native. There are many factors that determine how personnel on the airfield will conduct an arrested landing, according to Cpl. Ryan A. Allard, an expeditionary airfield systems technician with H&HS, MCAS Futenma, MCIPAC. “Some things that need to be taken into consideration are the weight and type of the aircraft and its speed when it touches down on the runway,” said Allard, a Canyon Lake, California, native. “After the aircraft comes and takes the arrestment, it usually should stop about 900-950 feet from the time it touches down.” Above all, safety is paramount in all operations of the aircraft wing and throughout the Marine Corps, according to Fredenberg. “Complacency kills,” said Fredenberg. “Whether you are forward-deployed or on an air station, it’s important to make sure all personnel and equipment are safe and properly utilized to maintain combat readiness.”

Marines provide security as an MV22B Osprey lands Jan. 10 on Camp Courtney in Okinawa, Japan. The Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Maritime Raid Force took part in a night raid as the first of three situational training events that make up the Realistic Urban Training Exercise. The training is designed by Expeditionary Operations Training Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, III MEF to test the raid force’s readiness.

Marines hold night training for raid force Cpl. Drew Tech III Marine Expeditionary Force

OKINAWA, Japan -- Marines with Expeditionary Operations Training Group set up and instructed a Realistic Urban Training Exercise for the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Maritime Raid Force Jan. 10 on Camp Courtney. The Marines with the 31st MEU and the raid force performed a night raid on an objective using a helicopter insertion, an explosive entry, and simulated rifle rounds to secure a building. This is the first of three situational training events which make up the exercise. All of the events are arranged by the training group for the 31st MEU twice a year. EOTG works year round customizing the training to hone the raid force’s specialized skills, according to Capt. Charles A. Jedlicka, the assistant operations officer with EOTG, III Marine Expeditionary

Force Headquarters Group, III MEF. “Our overall mission is to train the 31st MEU so that they are ready to respond to any contingency or crisis in the United States Pacific Command’s area of responsibility,” said Jedlicka, from Fairfax, Virginia. “That’s our main mission and we do that in a number of ways.” The group holds training events for the 31st MEU year-round, making them an instrumental asset to the unit’s readiness and mission success, according to Jedlicka. “It allows the MEU to employ their own staff for planning without having to take personnel to develop a scenario or to run it,” said Jedlicka. “They could run their own training, but it detracts from the value of that training. By having someone else outside set it all up, they can take all of their assets and focus on accomplishing the mission they’re given as opposed to trying to run their own training.”

Planning these specialized training exercises is a lengthy process for EOTG, said Staff Sgt. Timothy R. Manson, a dynamic assault instructor with the group. “We’ve been planning this for about a year,” said Manson, from New Orleans, Louisiana. “We’ve liaised with probably 95 percent of personnel from every shop in the MEU and other various commands to coordinate this training. This is a collaborative effort.” At the end of the evening, the raid force boarded the helicopters for extraction and completed their mission successfully, according to Jedlicka. “I think it was very successful,” said Jedlicka. “The MRF got a lot out of just the planning process working with the MEU staff. They were able to execute their plan successfully. Also, a number of debrief points came out that we will use to help the MRF continue to improve as they finish up RUTEX.”

PMO K9 division maintains readiness with night training

2/8 Marines simulate combat environment, fire missiles Lance Cpl. David Hersey II Marine Expeditionary Force

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- Marines with 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division fired the M41A4 Saber and the FGM148 Javelin missile launchers during a live-fire training exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., Jan. 6. “This is the last bit of training before we deploy,” said Sgt. Jeremiah Henck, an anti-tank missileman with Weapons Company. “We’ve been focusing on dismounted infantry tactics. Now, we are getting back to our trade by working with these weapon systems and firing them.” The Marines fired three Javelin missiles and 11 simulated tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided anti-tank missiles, or TOW. The TOW missiles were fired from Sa-

bers mounted to the turrets of Humvees, in order to simulate a combat environment. The Javelin is a missile equipped with lock-on before launch and automatic selfguidance. It uses a top-attack method; meaning the missile flies into the air and comes down on top of the target from a max altitude of 500 feet. The missile is also capable of firing directly at a target. This is beneficial for Marines when engaging targets such as helicopters. “It’s important that the Marines demonstrate a mastery of their skills,” said 1st Lt. Benjamin Radcliff, the platoon commander of 2nd Platoon, Weapons Company. “During the deployment our skills may be needed, so it’s important that when called upon we are able to answer satisfactorily.” In preparation for their deployment the Marines contin-

ue to train and hone the skills they will be using while overseas, said Radcliff. “We’re still going to be operating and training ourselves to the high standards we hold,” said Radcliff. “The only dif-

ference is we will be doing it alongside partnered forces. That’s why it’s important that when we go into this, we want to be at our best so we can best represent the high expectations we train to attain.”

Their mission, like Special Weapons and Tactics teams for civilian law enforcement, is to respond to high-priority calls such as hostage situations, active shooters and drug raids. “Today we went through the fundamentals,” said Price. “No matter how far along you are or how far along you think you are, it’s always good to go back to the basics.” The team trains constantly to be ready at a moment’s notice. They participated in marksman/observer training with the M110 semi-automatic sniper system Jan. 6. They then trained on a static 100yard range doing close-quarters shooting Jan. 8, and used the M1014 shotgun, the M4A1 service carbine, the M45A1 and the M9A1 pistols in multiple courses of weapons training that included both stationary and moving drills. Training makes their responses second nature in difficult, high-pressure

situations. The most important factor in their job is keeping a cool head and knowing the risk they take when they respond to a call according to Cpl. Michael Fuentez, a member of the SRT. “When I step into a house I’m like, ‘if I die today I don’t care, as long as none of my teammates get hit, I’m good,’” said Fuentez, a Los Angeles, California, native. A small group consisting of six members, developing both professionally and in their relationship. Corporal Brett Roth, the team’s training noncommissioned officer, is always striving to improve the team’s proficiency. The team trains monthly, focusing

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. -- Cpl. Cicchino gripped tightly on CChaz’s collar outside of the Community Center. CChaz was focused and anxious to sniff out the intruder inside. On Cicchino’s command CChaz was on the hunt and wouldn’t stop until his mark submitted. The Provost Marshal’s Office K9 unit conducted aggression, drug search and bomb search training exercises at the Community Center Condor Elementary school. “Once a month, we all come in at night to conduct training,” said Sgt. Daniel Andrzejewski, a Military Working Dog trainer with K9 unit, PMO, and a native of Toledo, Ohio. “At night is when the dogs would usually work. So on top of any other training the [MWD] handlers do, we also do this night training.” During aggression training the MWD were sent to search for a person, and when they find the target they bite and try to subdue them. During aggression training, the person is wearing protective clothing to keep the dog from doing any serious harm. “We don’t want the dogs to just go through the motions of biting someone,” said Staff Sgt. Charlie Hardesty, a native of Smoot, Wyoming, and kennel master with K9 unit, PMO. “We train them to be aggressive and bite a person when told to.” The dog teams went through each room one at a time. The handler released the dog to search the room, only stopping the dog to search a specific area or to stay in the room. “The dog team is 95 percent dog and 5 percent handler,” Andrzejewski said. “The dog has the nose; the handler just makes sure everywhere is checked.” The handlers use several tools to help praise the dog when it finds one of the aids. Some of the tools are a snowmanshaped toy called a Kong and verbal praise from the handlers. “The training should be a fun experience for the dogs,” Hardesty said. “If the dog thinks training is going to get him in trouble, it is not going to do its job. The training serves as a good way to evaluate the teams for what they need more training in, whether it is finding a certain substance or being more aggressive. The teams need to be fully prepared for when duty calls.

their skills on different scenarios and melding their individuality into one single cohesive unit. “When you go into a house and there’s a guy who has a gun trying to kill you, you have to know exactly what your teammate will do when he goes around that corner,” said Stampes, a Bakersfield, California, native. “Being close with other members on the team really helps.” As the team began to take their equipment off and clean up, they shared a few laughs and exchanged some jokes. The day was like any other on the range. Difficult and constant, their training keeps them keen and ready for the first step into the unknown.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- More than 100 Marines and sailors assigned to 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit returned to their home station in eastern North Carolina, Jan. 13-15, after a fivemonth deployment where they were based in Morón, Spain; Mihail Kogălniceanu, Romania and Sigonella, Italy. The service members from 26th MEU took control Aug. 4, 2014, as the command element of Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Crisis Response-Africa and the Black Sea Rotational Force. About 1,500 service members were deployed from 26th MEU; 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment; Combat Logistics Battalion 2 and Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 264. SPMAGTF-CR-AF is postured to respond to a broad range of military operations in the U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility, including U.S. Embassy reinforcement; humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations; tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel; training with partner nations; and other missions as directed. In addition to acting as a self-deploying crisis response force, SPMAGTF-CR-AF supported bilateral training events with partner nations throughout Europe and theater security cooperation missions with partner nations in Africa. Most notably, the forces supported Operation United Assistance, the U.S. response to the Ebola crisis in Liberia, until Dec. 1, 2014 when they were relieved by U.S. Army aviation assets from the 101st Airborne Division, who assumed the long-term responsibility of support to the OUA mission. The force was the most available and most ready to get down there quickly, said Lt. Col. David Olson, 26th MEU executive officer. Olson said humanitarian assistance is a standard mission for the Marine Corps, although support to fight Ebola in Liberia was unexpected. The MEU will begin training this spring for a late summer deployment with a force of 2,500 Marines and sailors aboard the ships of the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group.

harm. The radKIDS program is a national MCCS program, and is funded by Headquarters Marine Corps. The curriculum includes a bully prevention program “taught through the eyes of a child.” The participating children are asked what they would do in a specific situation, and are told to explain how they would react, teaching the adults through the minds of the children. The children are taught three rules in the class to help them in almost every troublesome situation. The rules are as follows: 1. No one has the right to hurt me, because I am special. 2. I don’t have the right to

hurt anyone else, including myself, unless they try to hurt me and then I stop them. 3. If anyone tries to hurt me, trick me, or make me feel bad inside, it’s not my fault, so I can tell. The class teaches preventing or stopping predator tricks including physical resistance strategies against abduction, internet safety, personal space safety, and home, school, and public safety. In the program, children are taught three options to choose from when they feel uncomfortable: run to a safe zone, use thier voice to attract attention and get help, and to use their physical skills to get away. The ultimate goal for the children to learn is to get to safety. “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” -Frederick Douglass, African American social reformer.
