Continued health care coverage after TRICARE Pfc. Jonah V. Lovy Staff Writer

Transitioning from active duty can be a stressful time for many service members and their families. An important part of this transition is choosing a new health care provider in the civilian world.

The Continued Health Care Benefits Program provides continued coverage after losing military health care benefits. The program is available to service members, their families, former spouses who are not remarried and adult children.

“It’s an option, not a requirement,” said Kaylyn Dunbar, the manage care support liaison at Naval Hospital Beaufort.

The CHCBP is similar to benefits offered by TRICARE but is not the same program. Premium payments are required for CHCBP and not for TRICARE. The program offers an individual coverage plan and a family coverage plan. Service members, spouses and other eligible adults qualify for the individual coverage, which costs approximately $1,275 per quarter. The family coverage is reserved for former service members and their families costing approximately $2,898 per quarter. see

Christians and politics part I Cmdr. Bill 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? Remember 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 self-governing. For us the government is not something far away, it is right here, we are deeply engaged in the govern“Look around for places where you can take safe risks, where you can express yourself, where you can learn to trust, and where you can find contentment regardless of the pressures and burdens that weigh you down. ” - Cmdr. Bill Holiman

ment. 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!

Next generation squadron intel has arrived Pfc. Jonah Lovy Staff Writer

Intelligence Marines from Marine Aircraft Group 31 attended the Squadron Intelligence Training and Certification Course, graduating Feb. 13.

The four-week course trains intelligence Marines to serve in the air combat element of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. This training provides students with the operational information and understanding they need to support the specific needs of each aircraft.

“This course is designed to give them the training that they need in order to do the job at their squadrons,” said Maj. Audie Cooper, operations officer for 2nd Marine Division, in Camp Lejeune, N.C. Intel Marines assist the Air Combat element by analyzing enemy and friendly flight capabilities, and advising pilots on how to effectively use their aircraft.

Marines in the course visited

Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 312, Feb. 2. Students toured a static display of an F/A-18 and trained in the flight simulator.

Students can gain a greater comprehension of friendly aircraft from this tour, said Audie.

“We covered the basic tour, things like top speed, gross weight and the types of weapons it can carry,” said Capt. Bryan Grygo, F/A18 Hornet pilot with VMFA-312.

Marines toured a static display of an F/A-18 and asked questions about its capabilities.

Marines learned about the entire aircraft as well as many of the weapons systems and maintenance gear. Intel School focuses on enemy aircraft but does not extensively include friendly capabilities.

“They’re very good at studying the [enemy], the threat, enemy missiles and aircraft” said Grygo.

According to Audie, this is the 10th course held here by MAG-31 on MCAS Beaufort.

Marines from the Squadron Intelligence Training and Certification Course visited Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 312, Feb. 2. Capt. Bryan Grygo, an F/A-18 Hornet pilot with VMFA-312, led the students on a guided tour of the VMFA-312 hanger.

VMFA-312 holds post and relief ceremony “Fight’s on”, for Sgt. Maj. Adrain L. Tagliere as he relieves Sgt. Major Philip J. LaFountain as the seargent major of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 312, Feb. 4.

LaFountain asssumed his duties as the sergeant major of VMFA-312 in May 2013.

“To the Marines of the squadron, I’m very proud of each and every one of you,” said LaFountain. “Keep reaching for the stars. This command is built off relationships, trust, and professionalism.One last thing for my Marines- Fight’s on.”

Past and present Marines gather for 2nd Marine Division birthday CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- Members of 2nd Marine Division, both past and present, gathered for a memorial service and a battle colors rededication ceremony to celebrate the unit’s 74th birthday aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., Jan. 30.

The day led off with a memorial service and candle lighting to honor the fallen heroes of the unit. A candle was lit, and a bell was rung as Nick Naumov, the second Vice President of the Second Marine Division Association, announced the number of lives lost and Marines wounded for each battle that 2nd Marine Division played a role in.

Marines past and present honored the units and battles fought by 2nd Marine Division during the battle colors rededication ceremony. The ceremony consisted of SMDA members walking alongside current members of the division to attach a battle streamer to the division’s colors.

Since its upcoming in 1941, the division has fought in every clime and place all the way from Guadalcanal in 1942, the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 and to the most recent battles fought in the Middle East.

“Through the association, past members of 2nd Marine Division come back to celebrate the beginning of the unit all the way to the present day,” said Sgt. Maj. David L. Bradford, the sergeant major of 2nd Marine Division.

Battle streamers were attached to the unit’s colors for each of the awards the division has earned.

“It’s about going back and bonding …We remember those who have fallen to give us our freedoms,” said Bradford.

CBIRF decontamination team puts critical skillsets to test PERRY, Georgia -- The Decontamination Platoon, consisting of Marines and sailors with Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, II Marine Expeditionary Force, don their gloves and their gas masks February 4 for training unlike anything they had ever experienced.

The platoon traveled to Perry, Georgia, to conduct live-agent decontamination using non-transplantable anatomical materials - bodies that have been donated for research and education, otherwise known as NAMs. “I’ve been with the CBIRF for almost two years now, and this is absolutely the most realistic training we have ever encountered,” said Platoon Commander Chief Warrant Officer 3 Christopher Kamm, with CBIRF. “It is one thing to put simulants on mannequins, it’s another thing to have role players offer challenging circumstances for us, but in terms of having to actually deal with anatomical material that is porous— changes the entire training evolution.”

CBIRF is the only active duty unit with the capability to rapidly deploy and respond to any chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive incident occurring anywhere in the world. The Decontamination Platoon’s role is to facilitate the decontamination of casualties, first responders, and CBIRF personnel operating in a contaminated environment during a crisis.

“Working with anatomical materials in the decontamination pit brings a realism that we haven’t had before,” Lance Cpl. Joel Hartom a member of the Decontamination Platoon said. “Chemicals actually stick to skin better than other materials we’ve trained with, and it really shows us just how hard it is to focus on the nitty-gritty and small aspects of the anatomy that we have to be able to clean.”

As the Marines and sailors trained, they were presented with various scenarios, which may arise during a crisis response situation. The Decontamination Platoon received NAMs with gunshot wounds, amputations, burns and other serious medical conditions. As the clock ticked, the decontamination team had to care for the NAMs injuries, while also thoroughly removing all live-agent contamination.

Leaving their home station of Naval Support Facility Indian Head, Maryland has allowed the Marines and sailors to train to task.

CBIRF trains to respond to man-made and natural disasters, which could potentially harm hundreds of thousands of people.

The time spent in Georgia may very well equate to lives being spared in the future.

Marines with 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, prepare to board a CH-53E Super Stallion to perform a lowlevel static line jump during a parachute training exercise at Training Landing Zone Pheasant, aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., Jan. 27. The battalion conducted a three-day training exercise to refresh their parachuting skills and to get their new Marines accustomed to the low-level static line parachute used by the Marine Corps. Marines performed two different types of jumps; lowlevel static line, with and without equipment, and High Altitude Low Opening free-fall jumps.

Grounded: 2nd Recon defies gravity Sgt. Austin Long Defense Media Activity

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- A Marine hurtles toward the Earth with his life hanging in the balance for the next four to six seconds. The wind is screaming past his ears and rushing against his cheeks while the ground below gets closer by the second, he feels the sudden jerk pulling him back into the sky, slowing his speed, while he slowly drifts to the ground below where the quick impact will only re-affirm he is alive and safe.

Marines with 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division performed multiple parachute training exercises, Jan. 27-29, at Training Landing Zone Pheasant, on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue.

The Marines performed low level static line jumps at 1,500 feet from a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter and a KC-130J Hercules aircraft, with and without combat loads. The Marines also performed High Altitude Low Opening free-fall jumps at 10,000 feet from a CH-47 Chinook Helicopter.

The training had a dual purpose for

the battalion—update the Marines on their biannual jump qualification and increase their proficiency in parachuting.

“Parachuting is one of our mission essential tasks,” said Capt. Thomas Wallin, the company commander of Company A, 2nd Reconnaissance Bn. “When using jump insertion methods, we can successfully insert into a landing zone, recon an area, and get important and timely information back to follow-on forces to help them complete their mission. Conducting training like this allows for us to be a beneficial force.”

During the training, the Marines with more parachuting experience jumped with military packs weighing about 8090 pounds. Other Marines jumped in tandem, one with a person strapped to his chest and the other with a 500-pound barrel attached to him.

Jumping tandem with personnel or military equipment is essential to mission success, According to Wallin.

“We can use this training to begin more difficult training,” said Wallin. “The more difficult training incorporates going into a landing zone as a whole team or a platoon with added friction in the process upon landing. The training make’s sure

they can land on a drop zone correctly and become tactical once everyone has landed safely.”

For the battalion, this type of training is an introduction to parachuting and is an accurate representation of real-world missions conducted by reconnaissance units.

The training prepared the Marines for being evaluated on the different types of parachute jumps. The battalion must pass an evaluation in order to use parachuting as an insertion method, if needed, while deployed, according to Wallin.

For some of the Marines, this was their first time jumping with the battalion.

Fifteen reconnaissance Marines recently graduated from the Army Airborne School and had to familiarize themselves with the type of parachute used by the Marine Corps and the insertion methods used by the battalion.

“The training was overall a success,” said Staff Sgt. George Gordon, a parachute rigger with 2nd Reconnaissance Bn. “The new Marines were able to familiarize themselves with the parachutes used by the Marine Corps and the Marines with experience were able to work on the things they needed to focus on.”

Tanks assault through ITX 2-15 Lance Cpl. William Hester I Marine Expeditionary Force

TWENTYNINE PALMS, California -- The pounding sun of the Mojave Desert beats without mercy on Company D, 1st Tank Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force as they perform final maintenance checks on their M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks before embarking on a large scale assault incorporating multiple elements of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force: the Tank Mechanized Assault Course.

Company D took on the TMAC Feb. 2 at Marine Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms as part of Integrated Training Exercise 2-15. Tanks provide direct and indirect fire to support other units within Special Purpose Marine-Air Ground Task Force 4 at ITX 2-15.

“We have two tank platoons and a mechanized infantry platoon moving up to assault three objectives,” said 2nd Lt. Brent C. Teague, a tank officer with Company D, 1st Tank Bn., 1st Marine Division, I MEF.

The TMAC provides good, applicable training for different units because it allows them to train in open space on a scale Marines don’t often have, according to Cpl. Phillip V. Lim, a tank crewman with Company D, 1st Tank Bn., 1st Marine Division, I MEF. “A big way this helps us train for realworld application is, if there are mechanized infantry in the desert environment, or open ground, you’re going to want tanks to be able to push through and defeat threats as the infantry closes in and controls the objective,” said Teague, a McDonough, Ga. native. ITX 2-15 uses every element of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force in one area to be successful in mission accomplishment, according to Lim. Marine Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms allows the Marines of Company D to work closely with other units, during ITX 2-15, while being able to employ all of their capabilities, according to Lim, a Derby, Kansas native.

“Twentynine Palms is great for training, especially for units coming from

Okinawa, Japan; Camp Pendleton, Calif.; or Camp Lejeune, N.C. because we can really spread out and get the dispersion we would truly like to have in a conventional mindset,” said Teague.

They will be using their tactics and capabilities to support other elements of the MAGTF in ITX 2-15, according to Teague.

“The tank capabilities that are going to be showcased in ITX are our ability to shoot, move and communicate at the same time over the rough terrain,” said Teague. “We can move and close on the enemy at a high rate of speed and set the support, by fire, to allow the infantry to move in.”

The company has a lot of new faces that have not had a lot of time to train together, yet, according to Lim. “I hope the Marines under me can learn on how to better use our tank and how to employ our tank, as tactically as possible,” said Lim. “We’re working together as a platoon and on the bigger scheme, as a company.”

ROK, U.S. Marines exchange combat maneuver tactics Cpl. James Marchetti Marine Corps Air Station Yuma

PYEONGCHANG, Republic of Korea -- Republic of Korea and U.S. Marines exchanged combat maneuvers and tactics during Korean Marine Exchange Program 15-4 at the Pyeongchang Winter Training Facility, Pyeongchang, Republic of Korea.

KMEP is a regularly scheduled, bilateral, small-unit training exercise, which enhances the combat readiness and interoperability of ROK and U.S. Marine Corps forces.

“Today the ROK Marines demonstrated how they would react to enemy contact and close-quarters battle techniques, and then we showed them how we operate,” said U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Donald J. Leek, a platoon sergeant with Company L, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, currently assigned to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force under the unit deployment program. “Training like this really improves the already strong, working relationship we have with the ROK Marines.”

This training ensures that the ROK and U.S. Marines’ understanding of each other’s combat tactics is at the highest level possible.

“Comparing our tactics with those of the U.S. Marines’ was a unique situation, because our tactics are similar in many ways,” said ROK Marine Capt.

Moon Jung Hwan, the commanding officer for Special Reconnaissance Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st

ROK Marine Division. “What we were looking to take away from this training is the Marines’ experience on the battlefield and to apply that to our tactics.”

Being in a cold weather environment can play a significant factor on how the Marines react to different threats.

“This is the third time I’ve done this kind of winter training and it’s still a shock every time I come to this kind of environment,” said U.S. Marine Cpl. Preston D. Ellenbolt, a rifleman with Company L. “Unless you live in an environment like this, I don’t think anyone really gets used to it.”

Cohesiveness, interoperability and comprehension all play a vital role should the ROK and U.S. Marines need

to work together during any future operation, according to Leek, a Terrehaute, Indiana, native.

“These skills are useful in pretty much any conventional warfare setting,” said Leek. “The only noticeable difference between our tactics that I saw was in the size of the teams.”

Sharing cultures is a significant factor in gaining a better understanding of the combat tactics of the two forces despite the language barrier, according to Moon, a Seoul, ROK, native.

Training alongside the U.S. Marines gives us a different look at tactics we are familiar with, which will increase our ability to work as a single unit,” said Moon.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, California -- Whenever a wounded Marine needs critical care in a combat zone, aircraft provide the means to get them to the care they require. However, during these casualty evacuations, each passing minute in flight subtracts from the Marine’s “golden hour.”

Communication between the care teams in the helicopter and the care facilities on the ground is critical and can often mean the difference between life and death.

Corpsmen from Alpha Surgical Company, 1st Medical Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, teamed up with data network specialists from Headquarters Regiment, 1st MLG, to add minutes to the first critical moments of a traumatic injury by leveraging an emerging communications capability called digital interoperability, during an exercise aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., Jan. 26-29.

This exercise marks the first time that this method is being implemented in the medical field within the Marine Corps.

The advanced waveform network works just like the Wi-Fi network used in homes. Tactical radios are tuned into a specific frequency that is then transmitted to computer tablets.

Radio signals can reach up to 20 miles and users are able to instant message and send data files simultaneously.

Patient information is currently tracked on a piece of paper that stays on the aircraft until they land. The only way for the care team to communicate outside of the aircraft to provide critical information is through the pilot.

This can prove to be slow and often leads to miscommunication.

During the four-day exercise, corpsmen trained to prepare a Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force group that is going to forward deploy later this year. The more than 40 corpsmen set up a shock trauma platoon facility, or mobile emergency room, to treat simulated casualties. The casualties were stabilized in the STP, then flown out via aircraft.

En-route care has been around for a long time, since the Napoleonic war through the Vietnam era, but it wasn’t until World War II that the Army established the first program of record for en-route care and not until the later part of Operation Iraqi Freedom that the Army again developed an en-route care program, said Pinon. As of now, it is the only enroute care program of record that the Marine Corps can use.

Whether wounded Marines spend minutes or hours in flight, the corpsmen can help give those Marines more time during the golden hour through training such as this.

Montford Point Marine receives Congressional Gold Medal NEW YORK -- Montford Point Marine Sgt. Hiram L. Knowles was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for his honorable service during the Era of World War II on Feb. 7, at the Mary Woodard Lasker Biomedical Research Building, New York City.

In 2012, Congress authorized the Congressional Gold Medal to be awarded to each of the 20,000 Montford Point Marines or to their families in recognition of the accomplishments and sacrifices made during a time of segregation.

“It’s a great honor for anyone to give their service to our country and knowing what my dad did, was a great gift,” said Jemere Smith, Knowles’ daughter.

Montford Point Marines were the first African-American Marines to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps. They got the name because of their segregated training site at Montford Point, N.C. Along with family and loved ones in the audience, was Ambassador Theodore Britton Jr., a former Marine who served beside Knowles as a Montford Point Marine.

“We had a great time. He was a lot of fun, (but) he took care of business, and didn’t take any stuff from no one because he knew what he was doing,” said Britton, the honorary Consul General of the Republic of Albania. “I was pleased to serve with him.”

The Montford Point Marine Training Facility was shut down in 1949 after President Harry S. Truman issued Executive Order 9981 which desegregated the U.S. Armed Forces.

“My time in service was very educational; it was like a college education, reading, writing, and learning,” said Britton. “I came out a very well educated person even though I didn’t formally go to school.”

Between 1942 and 1949 over 20,000 African-American Marines were trained. Of those, 13,000 served overseas areas including Vietnam, Japan and Guadalcanal.

At least 400 Montford Point Marines have received this honor.
