CPL. MARCO MANCHA 2nd Marine Division (Forward)

Swift, silent, deadly - those three words rest on the spear

of 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion’s insignia.

The Marines of Com-pany B, 2nd Reconnais-sance Battalion, 2nd Ma-rine Division (Forward), have lived up to these words executing numer-ous missions and provid-ing detailed intelligence for the units they have supported in the past six months.

“Our primary mission has been to just disrupt the insurgents’ flow of operations and provide reconnaissance for our infantry units,” explained Cpl. Collin Stookey, a heavy machine gunner with the unit. “I think we’ve been able to suc-cessfully do that and more.”

Take Cpl. Kyle God-deridge, for instance. Ear-lier this year, Godderidge was in a forward position in enemy territory when he and the Marines with him were suddenly en-gaged by the enemy using

rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire.

The Marines were quick to return fire. God-deridge’s team began fir-ing rounds with a MK-19 40 mm machine gun at the two enemy firing positions until a round jammed in the weapon. A Marine exposed him-self to enemy fire while removing the round to clear the weapon.

His actions helped the team successfully counter the enemy’s attack by get-ting the weapon back in the fight. The Marine had also been wounded twice in combat and chose to continue fighting.

“You go out into un-familiar territory and it’s kind of sketchy, but such an adrenaline rush at the same time,” explained Cpl. Steven Malachows-ki, a reconnaissance Ma-rine with the unit. “We’re all professionals out here and we do what’s needed to get the job done.”

This is just one ex-ample of the countless heroic actions these Ma-rines have performed since arriving in Novem-ber 2010.

Capt. Adam Brochet-ti, the platoon leader for third platoon, said his Marines also conducted

more than 100 mounted and dismounted patrols as a part of Operation Nemesis Sweep. The op-eration lasted more than two months and focused on ensuring units and lo-cal residents could travel safely on Route 611, a newly-built road through a portion of Helmand province.

Their efforts in a one-day operation called Op-eration Havoc Rain were also significant when they conducted a series of mis-sions to destroy several enemy river crossing sites along the Helmand River. On one of these missions, the platoon conducted a 2.5-mile foot movement with full protective gear and ruck packs weighing more than 100 pounds. Their goal was to rig ex-plosives to a major cross-ing site under the cover of darkness. They were able to effectively destroy the entire crossing system of bridges and two small boats used by insurgents.

“The missions and the deployment as a whole have been a little differ-ent than I had originally anticipated,” said Cpl. Jebediah Stevens, a point man with the unit. “We had heard a lot of things from (1st Recon Battal-

ion), and our missions have been nothing less than successful.”

The battalion’s second platoon helped conduct nearly 60 days of obser-vation and surveillance in hostile territory during the deployment. They also successfully con-ducted many raids and destroyed two main ene-my crossing points along the Helmand River.

First Lt. Ryan Marty, the platoon commander for second platoon, ex-plained it wasn’t all just “hooking and jabbing” for these Marines. His platoon also attempted to build rapport with key vil-lage leaders in the area.

Because of the rela-tionship building with the local populace and the ef-forts of the Marines, they were able to reduce en-emy attacks on 3rd Bat-talion, 5th Marine Regi-ment, and 1st Bn., 5th Marines, by 60 percent.

“I feel like what we’ve done out here has made a huge difference for the (local residents) and our neighboring units,” said Cpl. Thomas Gifford, a point man with the unit. “Leaving this place, I know me and the rest of my team did our best and it definitely paid off.”

SGT. RICHARD BLUMENSTEIN 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit

The end result of Marines rushing off helicopters in attack formations usually is not hugs and handshakes, but for a group of Marines conducting simulated raids throughout New York, that was the case during Fleet Week New York 2011, which began May 25 and ended yesterday.

Marines from Company F, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, currently attached to the 24th Marine Expedi-tionary Unit, conducted a number of simulated raids tax-ied by helicopter detachments from 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, also currently attached to the 24th MEU, to show-case the capabilities of a Marine Air Ground Task Force.

The Marines conducted raids at Orchard Beach, Eisen-hower Park, Corona Park, Playland Park and Clove Lake Park throughout the week.

“We showed the public how we use fire and movement and fire and maneuver on the enemy as if we were as-saulting some kind of enemy position,” said Pfc. Andrew Curtin, an infantryman with the raid team. “It’s kind of the bread and butter of what the Marine Corps infantry does.”

Spectators cheered at each location as they watch Ma-rines rush off helicopters.

“We loved it,” said Kerri Trotta, a New Yorker along-side her daughter.

“It was very nice, very impressive,” said James Lane, a New Yorker.

“It was a very impressive display,” said Seamus McHugh.

At the end of each raid the Marines interacted with New Yorkers and tourists who attended the events. The Marines manning the helicopters, such as MV-22 Ospreys and CH-46 Sea Knight, would dismount so attendees could get a closer look at the inside of the aircrafts.

The attendees greeted the Marines with hugs and handshakes, and often thanked them for their service. The Marines posed for pictures, answered questions and let the attendees handle their weapons and gear.

“The importance of the event is showcasing the Marine Corps, letting everyone know what we do,” Cpl. Dennis McKenzie, an infantryman with the raid team. “People support us, but it’s good to know what they support - what it is we do on a daily basis and how we train.”

LANCE CPL. JOHNNY MERKLEY2nd Marine Division

Marines and sailors with Company B, 2nd Com-bat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, gath-ered outside the battalion’s headquarters building aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, to award two Marines the Purple Heart Medal, recently.

The Marines receiving the medals were Sgt. Jared Mount and Lance Cpl. Michael Politowicz, for wounds received in combat during their deploy-ments to Afghanistan.

Mount was attached to 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, in 2010 during the battalion’s deployment to Afghanistan. As a squad leader with Company A, he was injured when his vehicle was hit with an improvised explosive device during a mounted patrol.

“Upon returning to Camp Lejeune, I had to have a plate with eight screws put into my leg and ankle when I went into surgery,” said Mount. “I did about six months of physical therapy after recovering from surgery.”

Politowicz was attached to 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, as an auto-matic rifleman with Company A during the battal-ion’s last deployment to Afghanistan, when he was struck by an IED on a foot patrol.

“I was about one yard away when the IED went off,” said Politowicz. “It blew me back about three yards and I received shrapnel in my forearm.”

As the company came to attention, Politowicz and Mount marched front and center to receive their awards from the company first sergeant and the commanding officer.

“Understand that the Marines who wear this medal on their uniform have sacrificed something,” said 1st Sgt. Luis Leiva, the first sergeant for Com-pany B. “Something has happened to them. Indi-viduals who wear the Purple Heart were out there in the fight, and many of them never return.”

As the ceremony came to a close, Leiva stressed the importance of Marines being recognized for their sacrifices.

“We will not falter for what we stand for. Ser-geant Mount received his wounds back in 2010 and is now getting his award,” said Leiva. “We do what we can to ensure Marines get the awards they de-serve. Many of them have paid with limbs or even their lives.”

After the ceremony, the Marines from the com-pany shook hands with Politowicz and Mount, not only congratulating them on their award, but wel-coming them back to the unit after a long recovery.

“I’m just happy to be alive,” said Mount. “I’m in the process of re-enlisting now that I’m healthy.”

SemperSemperSafeSafeBy the Base Safety Offi ce

The Department of Defense was out in force last Thursday at the Gen-eral Assembly, speaking against pro-posed legislation that would make it more costly for troops and others to obtain a personal loan in North Carolina.

Col. Stephen J. Sicinski, Fort Bragg garrison commander, spoke on behalf of the commanding generals at that installation, and on behalf of every installation commander in the state of North Carolina, when he urged the North Carolina House Committee on Banking to reject proposed legisla-tion that would authorize significant increases in interest rates on personal loans. Sicinski testified that such high-interest loans already cause harm to service members, and that making these loans more costly will increase the harm. Sicinski and other witnesses noted that purveyors of such high-in-terest loans already target young ser-vice members. The colonel advised the committee that financial problems can lead to security clearance issues, and that troops may spend several years digging out of a financial hole, taking out one high-interest loan after another to repay prior debt, in a vicious cycle of increased debt and borrowing.

Virginia Schopfel, director of the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune office of the Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society, made a short state-ment, pointing out that her office pro-vides emergency, no interest loans, and is often left to pick up the pieces when troops exacerbate their financial

problems by taking out high interest loans. I also spoke against the legisla-tion, having been authorized to voice the opposition of the Marine Corps and the Office of the Secretary of De-fense. A representative of the North Carolina attorney general also spoke out against the bill.

Speaking in favor of the proposed increase was C. Everett Wallace, on behalf of a lending industry trade as-sociation, and Chris McKinley, senior executive of Green Cap Financial, a lender. Wallace contended that lend-ing rates have not increased in 28 years, and that an increase is needed to maintain the financial viability of lenders.

The North Carolina Commissioner of Banks studied the issue and con-cluded that makers of personal loans have been profitable even despite the general recession, and recommended that the law not be changed.

The North Carolina Consumer Finance Act (NC Gen Stat 53-164, et seq), in its current form, authorizes lenders making personal loans of up to $3,000 to charge 36 percent on the first $600 and 15 percent on the bal-ance (NC Gen Stat 53-173). Lend-ers making personal loans of up to $10,000 may charge 30 percent on the first $1,000 and 18 percent on the bal-ance (NC Gen Stat 53-176).

NC House Bill 810, in its original form, proposed extreme increases, including charging 36 percent on the first $2,000, as well as a 10 per-cent “processing fee” every 90 days,

plus a security interest recording fee. Lenders making loans of up to $15,000 could charge 30 percent on the first $5,000, 24 percent on the next $5,000, and 18 percent on the remainder. Opposition to this bill caused proponents to cut back some-what on proposed increase. The pro-posed committee substitute under consideration last Thursday: autho-rizes lenders making personal loans of up to $3,000 to charge 36 percent on the first $1,500, and 15 percent on the balance. This change would effectively increase the authorized interest rate 21 percentage points (from 15 percent to 36 percent) on $900 of the amount borrowed.

The proposed bill would also au-thorize lenders making personal loans of up to $15,000 to charge 30 percent on the first $5,000, 24 percent on amounts from $5,000 to $10,000, and 18 percent on the balance. The pro-posed legislation therefore increases by $5,000 the amount authorized to be loaned, and increases by 12 per-centage points the maximum rate that can be charged on $4,000 of the first $5,000 borrowed (from 18 percent to 30 percent). Interest on amounts bor-rowed between $5,000 and $10,000 is increased 6 points (from 18 percent to 24 percent).

The actual annual percentage rate interest is somewhat higher when the closing fees are calculated in. Under the proposal, lenders may charge clos-ing fees of $25 for loans not exceeding $2,500 and $40 a year for larger loans.

DOD opposes interest rate increase on personal loans

Hooray, summer is finally here. Time to enjoy the beach, school is out and, oh yeah, hurricanes. It’s time to start watching weather forecasts a little bit closer. As most of us know June 1 to

Nov. 30 every year is Atlantic Ocean hurricane season. It is time to break out your copy of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s revised Destructive Weather Plan, BO P3440.6G, to prepare. This manual provides infor-mation, guidance and procedures for use during de-structive weather, such as locations of the emergency shelters, conditions of readiness and responsibilities of military units including personnel and equipment.

The first step in preparing for destructive weather is getting together an emergency home survival kit, good for three days. Include essentials such as water, nonperishable food requiring little to no cooking, baby supplies, medications, portable radio, spare batteries, flashlights, sanitation supplies, extra cash and clothes. For more information, please refer to the N.C. Emer-gency Management website, http://www.nccrimecon-trol.org/Index2.cfm?a=000003,000010,000025 and Ready North Carolina website http://readync.org/. Don’t forget about your pets - they are not allowed in the emergency shelters. To obtain the current weather conditions aboard Camp Lejeune, dial 451-1717. The message will provide civilian employee reporting pro-cedures, weather advisories, base school closures and fire conditions.

Here are the some of the Destructive Weather Con-ditions you need to know for proper planning, refer to

BO P3440.6G for more details on the conditions:• DWC V – The potential for destructive weather

is elevated but no specific system threatens the area. Automatically set from June 1 to Nov. 30, normal operations exist.

• DWC IV, III, and II (DWC IV, 72 hours; DWC III, 48 hrs; DWC II, 24 hrs) - A specific system is forecasted to affect the area within 72, 48, and 24 hours respectively.

• DWC I, 12 hours - System is within 12 hours; secure training, release non-essential personnel, re-strict liberty to base only and evacuate high risk ar-eas. Secure or store all loose outside items to further prevent loss and property damage from flying debris, this goes for your residence too.

• DWC IC, six hours - System is within six hours; secure all liberty (restricted to residence/barracks) and close all base facilities except emergency mess halls.

• DWC IE – The storm is here; everything is closed.

• DWC IR – The system has passed but all orders, restrictions and guidance previously established re-mains in effect. Only emergency operations are tak-ing place.

Commanders and supervisors: You are responsible for the safety of your personnel. It is your duty to ensure your personnel understand how important it is to prepare for destructive weather. For more infor-mation contact your unit safety officer, or base safety representative.

SGT. RACHAEL K. A. MOORE2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

Now that a newly-f o r m e d k a n d a k c o m -

pleted their basic training, they’re ready to relocate to their area of operation.

The 4th Kandak, Af-ghan National Army is a combat support battalion, which brings an engineer company, a reconnaissance company and an artillery

company to the fight. The Embedded Partner-

ing Teams from Combat Logistics Battalion 7 and 2nd Maintenance Battalion (Reinforced), both with 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), and the Embed-ded Training Team from Regimental Combat Team 1, Task Force Leatherneck, escorted the 4th Kandak to their new home in Marjah District of Helmand prov-ince, Afghanistan, May 24.

“It is crucial to partner with the ANA so we can advise and mentor them,” said Gunnery Sgt. Wade

A. Sparks, the senior men-tor and acting first sergeant for the CLB-7 EPT, 2nd MLG (Fwd.). “We work shona ba shona, which means shoulder to shoul-der. We provide some more security for them and show them around the (area of operations).”

During the convoy, Ma-rines led the way and were strategically placed in be-tween the ANA vehicles to ensure the Marines were there for the ANA when-ever needed.

“The ANA do not have mine roller capabilities or

the ability to call in (medi-cal evacuation) via air,” said 1st Lt. Christopher M. Latham, the CLB-7 EPT’s convoy commander and assistant officer in charge. “We were there to support the ANA with coalition assets that are not organic to the ANA. In a kinetic environment, the ANA highly rely on the training and warfighting skills of the Marines.”

Despite the weather and enemy threat, the escort was successful. The 4th Kandak is now at their new home in Marjah District.

“The 4th Kandak will bring more stability to the region,” said Sparks. “It will add a sense of security for the people.”

The 4th Kandak is a new asset to the ANA, and in Marjah District they will continue to train with Marines and help provide a safer community for the locals.

“This new kandak is the next step in turning over the (area of operations) to the ANA,” said Latham. “The engineer assets are going to be crucial in coun-ter-(improvised explosive

device) operations, and the (reconnaissance) platoon is going to have a key role in anti-terrorism.”

The 4th Kandak is an example of how the ANA is developing into a larger and stronger military, and with the guidance from U.S. service members they will eventually be able to protect the people of Af-ghanistan, on their own.

“They are getting more confident day by day,” concluded Sparks. “Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job so they can be self-sufficient.”

STAFF REPORTS22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit

Marines and sailors serv-ing aboard USS Bataan in the Mediterranean Sea crowded the flight deck of the ship to enjoy a long-awaited break from the rig-ors of deployment during a recreational day, recently.

The Mediterranean’s tranquil blue sea and vast clear skies provided a stun-ning backdrop for service members during what some would consider a “Steel Beach” leisure day aboard the ship.

The Marines, sailors and embarked civilians enjoyed ice-cold beverages, treats from the grill, playing catch, listening to live bands and soaking in the sun for the better part of the day. The scene mimicked an ocean-front festival.

Musicians relaxed on the ship’s edge and played songs, while others rode circus-like tricycles, played basketball and socialized with fellow shipmates.

“I think it’s really im-portant, because after be-ing cooped up in a tiny area for so long, you need to get out and just have fun,” said Sgt. Joshua Berry, a sensor

employment team leader with the ground sensor pla-toon, command element, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit. “I think days like this are great, and we could re-ally use a few more later on down the road.”

The Marines and sailors of the 22nd MEU are cur-rently deployed with Am-phibious Squadron 6 aboard USS Bataan Amphibious Ready Group and will con-tinue to train and improve the MEU’s ability to operate as a cohesive and effective Marine Air-Ground Task Force.

The 22nd MEU is a multi-mission, capable force, commanded by Col. Eric J. Steidl and comprised of an aviation combat element, Marine Tilt Rotor Squadron 263 (Reinforced); a logis-tics combat element, Com-bat Logistics Battalion 22; a ground combat element, Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment; and its command element.

Marine expeditionary units are the Marine Corps’ smallest permanent Marine Air-Ground Task Force, and comprised of approximately 2,200 Marines and sailors ready to provide immediate response to a hostile envi-ronment or crisis.

SGT. RACHAEL MOORE2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

Getting supplies to and from forward operating bases can be difficult due to the rugged terrain of Afghanistan and the immi-nent enemy threat.

However, the Route Clearance platoon with Joint-Task Force Paladin provided Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), with a clear path during the latest resupply mission to FOB Shukvani, recently.

“It’s a combined task force,” said Cpl. Keith R. Breeckner, an operations clerk with CLB-8, 2nd MLG (Fwd.). “The Army’s route clearance team goes out with us to make sure we have a safe route to travel on so we can get the supplies to Marines and soldiers.”

In addition to clearing the route, the Army provided extra trucks and lift capabili-ties. Soldiers from the 541st Transportation Company, 129th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, assisted in carrying supplies to and from Camp Leatherneck.

“The Army increased our capability and capac-ity on this mission,” said 1st Lt. Jonathan P. Douglas, the convoy commander and the security platoon command-er with CLB-8, 2nd MLG (Fwd.).

With the help of the Army, the Marines success-fully delivered potable wa-ter, bottled water, fuel and rations to soldiers from the Georgian army and Marines operating in the Shukvani area.

“The main goal was to provide the sustainment they

need to continue their com-bat operations,” explained Douglas. “We also delivered a water purification system and a fuel system.”

After the supplies were dropped off, the Marines and soldiers loaded their trucks with battle-damaged vehicles for a backhaul to Camp Leatherneck.

“Most of the outlying locations lack the capability to conduct the repairs some of these vehicles need,” said Douglas. “We bring them back to Leatherneck to get the repairs done and get the vehicle back in the fight.

“Combat logistics pa-trols are the only effective way to get these trucks back to Camp Leatherneck,” said Douglas. “All of these vehicles are too heavy to be lifted by air, which would be the only other option.”

Because it’s the only op-tion, mission accomplish-ment is crucial so the Ma-rines spend days preparing for the mission.

“I think what makes our

combat logistics patrols effective is a mixture of detailed planning before, and the proficiency and experience of the Marines during the operation,” said Douglas. “The Marines are extremely experienced when it comes to convoy operations, and they are continuously learning and

improving with each one.” The joint-service team

will continue to work to-gether to ensure coalition forces operating in Hel-mand province remain supplied and operational in order to continue to support the International Security Assistance Force mission.

The one fault from active duty we seem to carry over as retirees is the “reaction factor.” We seem to always be trying to fix the problem, running from the answer to the question, and answering the challenge. Many times the situation could have been prevented with a little forethought. Camp Lejeune provides many preventive type training opportunities to retirees and we seldom use them. The same excuses are voiced; “I didn’t know about it,” “I could not make time,” “Nobody tells me anything.” Information is put out on activities, because some people know to show up. No matter what advertising media used, no matter how extensive, some people will never hear about an activity. So where am I going with this?

The answer is: take some personal responsibility and be proactive! Don’t wait until news filters to you. Expand a little effort, do some research, make some calls, actually attend a veteran organization meeting, call or come and see me. Let me give you some examples of things coming up. Naval Hospital Health Promotions and Wellness continuously provide professional classes on topics such as Healthy Heart, Managing Diabetes, Smoking Cessation, Nutrition, and other important health concerns of retirees and their families. The courses are free, provided by professionals and are often in the evening.

If you would like a schedule of classes and further information on this, call – 451-3712. Every quarter the Naval Hospital provides a Medical Town Hall Meet-ing, where they have the professionals answer customer concern questions, proce-dure questions, and have a class on requested health issues. It’s very worthwhile and informative, and often poorly attended, when you consider how many retirees are in the local area. Call 450-4463 for information on the next Town Hall Meeting. Veteran Affairs issues are popular with retirees. Become informed before going to VA, as this can save you a lot of anguish and wasted time. The best place to call for VA information is 347-3309-Onslow County Veteran Services, 455-3400-Disabled American Veterans, or 451-0287-RAO.

A couple of times, I have run articles on smart things to do prior to death, in order to alleviate the burden of the surviving family member. Only four retirees have come and picked up packets from me out of all the retirees locally. By not be-ing pro-active you are placing the burden on your loved ones. We both know that is not right!

LANCE CPL. BRYAN NYGAARDRegimental Command Southwest

Marines and sailors with Regional Command South-west gathered together to honor Lt. Col. Benjamin “Chili” Palmer aboard Camp Leatherneck, May 25. Palm-er was killed while working with a mentoring team that provides support to 5th Bri-gade, Afghan National Civil Order Police, May 12. He was 43 years old.

During the ceremony, friends and colleagues of Palmer came forward to re-flect on the type of Marine he was and how they will remember him.

Lt. Col. Michael J. Gann, the operations of-ficer for Afghan National Security Forces Develop-ment, RC(SW), explained that he first met Palmer in June 2002 when they were both attending the Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leav-enworth, Kan. The night before his death, Gann

walked into his office to find Palmer camped out his desk. The two talked for a while about a variety of topics.

“He knew the risks of what he was involved in,” Gann said. “You could tell he was generally excited about what he was doing. I

told him to be safe.”Maj. Mark D. Cousins,

the operations officer for 5th Brig., ANCOP mentor team, worked with Palmer for the past nine months and remembers him as put-ting the mission and Ma-rines first, above all else.

“He leaves behind a

legacy of caring and profes-sionalism,” Cousins said. “His love for Marines was evident when he chose to be here instead of retiring. He chose to deploy, but only af-ter receiving the full support of his family.”

Palmer is survived by his wife and four children.

CAPT. SHAWN MERCERMarine Corps Information Operations Center

The Marine Corps Information Operations Center hosted a ground breaking ceremony May 26 at the future site of its permanent building, the first of its kind across the Department of Defense.

“Information Operations is all about delivering integrated and synchronized effects to the commander to provide him an operational advantage,” Col. James P. Gfrerer, director of

MCIOC, said. “Roughly 40 personnel have deployed from here in a mere 15 months. As we break ground today, 20 personnel are deployed, supporting II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) in Afghanistan, the 22nd Marine Expedi-tionary Unit, and the Afghanistan Cyber Support Element.”

Austin Branch, director of IO for the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, is responsible for the entire IO enterprise within the DOD, including interfacing with the Interagency and Capitol Hill. “When someone wants to talk to me about IO, I tell them to go see the Marines, go see

the MCIOC,” Branch said. “They’re doing it right.”The MCIOC was established in July 2009 in its current

temporary facility. It has served as the base for MCIOC personnel to organize, train and equip IO Planning and Military Information Support Operations Teams to go for-ward with MAGTF staffs.

The new 33,000-square-foot building, planned for completion in 2012, is the first building designed and built solely for the purpose of IO. Other services’ IO fa-cilities were refurbished, borrowed, or shared.

Coordinates and direc-tions are s h o u t e d by junior

Marines surrounding a 60 mm mortar system. While the shouts appear to be of another language, a super-vising senior Marine un-derstands every word. “Do it again, and do it louder!” he orders.

The Marines are from Company G, 2nd Battal-ion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. From May 17 through 19, they refined their infantry tac-tics in an open field aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Exercises such as fire and movement drills, mortar drills and implicit communication were prac-ticed at the fire team level to enhance the cohesion of small-unit leadership.

Small tents aligned in neat rows were their homes, and meals, ready to eat were their food. Many of the battalion’s riflemen

were familiar with the aus-tere environment due to their recent deployment to Marjah, Afghanistan. Now at MCB Camp Lejeune, the battalion is working on developing new fire team leaders and training their new Marines.

“The younger guys use (senior Marines) as men-tors. They want to take on board everything they can from them,” said Sgt. An-thony V. Palmer, a platoon leader for Company G and veteran of Fallujah and Marjah. “When these Ma-rines get into a (combat) situation they’re not go-ing to have people holding their hands. 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines is setting itself up for success with this training.”

Behind the small group of Marines and across a grassy plain, stood mul-tiple fire teams taking turns running through a live fire course. The gun fire made a popping sound and left a distinct smell in the air. Units treated the field as if it were a real combat zone. Commands were barked not said, and Marines moved

with speed. As each tar-get was shot down, senior leadership followed closely behind to ensure safety and proper technique.

“It’s impressive to see Marines consistently seek-ing self-improvement,” said Palmer. “That’s hard to find in other places. Most people let things slip. In my career with 2nd Bat-talion, 6th Marines, I have been continually impressed by their want to improve and do more.”

Immediately after com-pleting the course, each fire team was checked for saved rounds and then sprinted back to their start-ing point in full protective gear. Drenched in sweat, the Marines moved into a circle comparable to a foot-ball huddle and discussed their performances.

“Right now, (senior Ma-rines) are up here, and we are right here,” said Pfc. David J. Gevolino while gesturing his hand high and then slightly lower. “It’s not going to take just one training event, it’s go-ing to take more. But with each one, we grow.”

A memorial service was held recently to hon-or the service of Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers.

Rogers was the platoon sergeant of third platoon, Company C, 2nd Com-bat Engineer Battalion, operating under the com-mand of 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, while in Afghanistan. Since join-ing the Marine Corps in 2003, Rogers served two combat tours in Iraq and three in Afghanistan, in-cluding his current tour.

On April 7, Rogers and his platoon were perform-ing a clearing operation to remove improvised explo-sive devices. He was clear-ing a path to a helicopter for two severely wounded Marines when he was tak-en from this world.

Rogers understood the dangers his job entailed and exhibited unwaver-ing dedication to Corps and country, according to his fellow Marines. Re-cently, his friends and fel-low Marines gathered on Forward Operating Base Musa Qal’eh to remember a fallen hero.

A pair of boots were placed with a rifle stand-ing vertically between them, barrel down. A Kevlar helmet crowned the stock of the rifle while Rogers’ dog tags were hung solemnly from the pistol grip. The Marine Corps Flag crossed with the American Flag, pro-vided a backdrop for his field expedient battlefield cross. The memorial al-lowed others to reflect on

who Rogers was, what he meant to them and how they would miss him.

“He always looked on the brighter side of things,” said Sgt. Jarrod Alexander, a squad leader with Company C, 2nd CBE. “He never had any discontent toward any-thing. He could always make any situation better, regardless of if it was bad or good.”

Marines reflected on his bright character and ability to befriend any one. They remembered his natural ability to lead Marines, especially in combat conditions. They recalled how he could be friendly to everyone, yet correct a Marine without having to raise his voice. The speakers made it very clear he was a man to be admired, and that his passing was nothing short of a tragedy to those lives he touched.

“He wasn’t one to stand around the corner or go back into a vehicle and bark orders. If he issued an order, he was

right there with you. If his Marines were sweep-ing (for improvised ex-plosive devices) he was right there sweeping with them,” Alexander said.

Those in attendance were given a moment to pay their respects to Rogers in their own fash-ion. Each attendee said goodbye one last time, allowing closure for those who had worked with him.

“I miss him, I miss him every day. I think about him every minute. Every-thing that he’s ever taught me is still whispering in my ear. Anytime I tell my Marines something I al-ways think about what he would say first,” Alexan-der said.

Though he is gone, his legacy lives on through the actions of all who were fortunate enough to, in one way or another, have had him as a men-tor. His spirit remains in those whose lives he has touched as they strive to follow in the footsteps of their fallen comrade.

North Carolina transport squadron moves Afghan forces toward future CPL. SAMANTHA H. ARRINGTON2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward)

The F/A-18 H o r n e t s of Marine Fighter At-tack Squad-

ron 122 launched earlier than usual from Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, the morning of May 19.

“We launched our mis-sion early because there was a lot of enemy activity,” said Capt. Joe F. Freshour, an F/A-18 Hornet pilot with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122. With insur-gents carrying out attacks throughout southwestern Afghanistan, the 2nd Ma-rine Aircraft Wing (For-ward) Hornet pilots found themselves busy, providing precision strikes to suppress the insurgents.

“Launching early left us short on gas, so we contact-ed (Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252) while they were refueling their C-130 on Camp Bas-tion and asked for refueling support,” said Freshour.

A KC-130J with VMGR-252 received the request and provided in-air fueling so the Hornets could stay flying, providing close-air support for troops on the ground.

“Once we refueled, and literally when we discon-nected from the hose, we got a call saying (2nd Re-connaissance Battalion) was getting fire,” said Fre-shour. “We flew over to

those Marines and were able to eliminate the enemy attacking them. The only reason we were able to do that was VMGR-252 sup-plying us with fuel.”

The KC-130J Hercules squadron, deployed out of Marine Corps Air Sta-tion Cherry Point, N.C., to Afghanistan’s Kandahar Airfield to support Ma-rines, Afghan forces and other coalition troops by providing aerial refueling, battlefield illumination, and transporting cargo and troops in Afghanistan’s Nimroz and Helmand provinces and beyond.

“We are part of the great-er logistics effort,” said Maj. Scott Koltick, the detachment commander for VMGR-252. “We’ve got to move beans, bullets and Band-Aids around Afghanistan.”

As Afghan National Se-curity Forces work to take the lead role in operations in Afghanistan, VMGR-252 facilitates those efforts by transporting Afghan troops and supplies for missions.

“About a month ago, there was a prison break in Kandahar, and the Afghan command authorities made a decision that they need-ed to get Afghan troops transported from Bastion to Kandahar and needed to do it quickly,” said Kol-tick. “We flew to Bastion on short notice and picked up a couple plane loads of Afghan commandos, which are specially trained troops, and flew them to Kandahar so they could reinforce that part of their battle space.”

In addition to transport-ing Afghan soldiers and ma-terials for missions, Koltick said the Afghan troops also rely on the Marine Corps’ Hercules for much-needed rest.

“Something as simple as taking an Afghan soldier from southern Afghanistan back to his family in Ka-bul so he can support his family is a very big deal,” said Koltick. “We take be-ing able to travel so easily for granted in the U.S., but even something that seems as simple as taking Afghan soldiers home on leave is a very big part of forming and supporting the Afghan army.”

Since 2006, VMGR-252

has been a constant pres-ence in Afghanistan. The North Carolina-based Ma-rines deploy as a detach-ment, and work alongside their counterparts from VMGR-352, out of MCAS Miramar, Calif., and VMGR-152, out of MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, Japan to form a consolidated squadron in Afghanistan.

“In Regional Command Southwest, we carry about half of the total cargo on our aircraft, and about a third of the passengers,” said Koltick. “Doing this for seven days a week, and 24 hours a day for months at a time, from a commander’s perspective, is really significant.

“The Marines work 24

hours a day in a constant flurry of activity,” he added. “To me that really says how reliable the Marines that I brought out here are.”

In addition to the tradi-tional transport and refuel-ing roles of the KC-130J, one Hercules in Afghanistan has demonstrated a new capability for the Marine Corps. A detachment of VMGR Marines at Camp Dwyer, Afghanistan, de-ploy the Harvest Hawk KC-130J, which has the ability to transport troops and con-duct aerial refueling, but also provides close-air sup-port for ground troops with a complement of AGM-114 Hellfire and Griffin missiles, as well as a target site sys-

tem from the AH-1Z Cobra attack helicopter.

“The Harvest Hawk is the source of a huge amount of pride within the C-130 com-munity. For a C-130 guy like me who’s been in the com-munity for a long time, if you would have told me 12 years ago that I would be the detachment commander of a unit that deploys ordnance I wouldn’t have believed you,” said Koltick. “In that short amount of time, we have changed drastically and we do operations differently. Our Marines have had to get much smarter on things like ordnance and our intel-ligence Marines have had to start looking at the battlefield differently.”

It was the perfect ending to a perfect season. It was a game that Intramural Sport Direc-tor Antonio Warner called, “What intramu-rals is all about, what every game should be like.”

The 2011 intramural softball championship game proved to be one for the ages.

Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools overcame an early 5-0 deficit and trailed 8-6 entering the last inning, but came back to win 9-8 to clinch the intramural softball title and an undefeated season Thursday at the Harry Agganis Field aboard Marine

Corps Base Camp Lejeune.“It means a lot,” said MCCSSS Coach Jeromy

Giroir. “We had a lot of times throughout the season where we had to show resiliency to come through and win games that could’ve been that first loss. In the beginning (of the season), you have those high expec-tations of going undefeated, but the reality is you’re going to play a lot of good softball players and teams. Coming out here and being able to fight through some of the situations that we had … just to put it all together, means a lot.”

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. 2B JUNE 2, 2011

I’m writing this on Me-morial Day Monday and reporting that the surf temperatures are now 79 degrees at Bogue Pier, and there is no reason to believe that they will drop anytime soon. And all this after one of the coldest winters and cold-est water temperatures in recent memory.

Remember, we averaged in the 40s for December 2010, and January and February of the new year. We normal-ly don’t see the 80-degree mark until mid or late June or often not until the Fourth of July.

This being said, the surf fishing has finally shown signs of life and I was spared the ignominy of going drumless in May, from the surf that is.

The signs were there, such as the small Oreo cookie-sized calico (lady) crabs along the surf as thick as sand fleas, and that’s the truth. I landed one slot fish on a gold Kastmaster Saturday and saw a nice 24-incher taken on a dead mullet on Emerald Isle.

There were also blues big and small landed on bait as well as artificials (metals) and flies as well. There was even Spanish action along the beach,

even though most of it was aerial acrobatic in nature, but some were hooked as well. This was notable since the Span-ish, although they have been trolled up in good numbers from boats and from the piers, hadn’t been seen in close to the surf. Over the weekend, the hot spot seemed to be just east of the Bogue Inlet sea buoy.

Speaking of the Bogue Inlet, we have already had a capsizing incident, when a 22-foot boat was rear ended by a nine-foot wave while re-entering the inlet boat channel as the boaters crossed over a 3-foot outer inlet bar.

The inlet is very treacherous, so be careful out there, as all this can happen in an instant. Even if you don’t wish to wear your personal floata-tion devices in the sound or possibly out in the ocean, they are a good choice when navigating the inlet and may save your life.

Cobia fishing is slowing as the annual cobia spawning is drawing to a close. There are still fish out there, but they are now exiting to return offshore. Inside the Hook at Barden’s Inlet and the Beaufort

Shipping Channel are still productive areas. You can also work the menhaden schools as well.

If you were bathing or sunning along the Crystal Coast beaches this weekend, you no doubt saw patch after patch of something black working down the beach, occasionally being spectacularly attacked by diving pelicans and tail-pounding bottlenose dolphin. These were schools of menhaden, sometimes so thick it was hard to differentiate where one pod ended and another started.

There have been Span-ish, big chopper blues and cobia feeding amongst these schools, but notable for their absence, no king mackerel yet, though that should change any day now. The closest I’ve heard for kings has been 10 miles outside of Bogue Inlet, which would place you somewhere around Charlie Buoy and South-east Bottoms.

Flounder fishing has still been good nearshore on the reefs, wrecks and rock ledges and finally picking up around the “B” inlets (Barden’s, Beaufort, Bogue and Brown’s) and in the Intracoastal Waterway as they move back into the sound. Interestingly, I have heard of large numbers of the flounder are actually Gulf floun-der and not the summer flounder we usually expect.

I mentioned that drum fishing is picking up along the surf, but the inside bite is still slow, including areas like the Haystacks, where the water has been very murky recently. I don’t know if this is still a residual effect of this winter’s extremely cold water temperatures

driving out so many fish last winter or some other unknown reason.

Interestingly, the old mature red drum are still to be found in very large numbers both on the east and west side of the Lookout Shoals. Many fish have been caught and released sight-casting bucktails. They have been out there since the winter.

Inside, I have heard of some speckled trout in the White Oak River and in Queens Creek, where some good catch of flounder have also been reported.

Remember, trout are still off limits until June 15 with the minimum size holding at 14-inches and bag limit now down to six fish per day. Flounder have a minimum size of 15 inches and daily creel limit of six flounder, down from eight.

Pier fishing has been sporadic, with Spanish, blues and both snapper- and chopper-sized fish being landed early and late in the day. Other pier attractions include some sea mullet, one- to two-pound pompano, small spots, throwback cobia and lots of hogfish.

There was also finally one keeper cobia landed on Bogue Pier, a 17-pound, 35-inch fish, but not a king mackerel in sight.

Offshore I’ve heard of nice dolphin fish taken out of Beaufort Inlet in 17 fathoms of water (about 100 ft.). They caught fish up to 25 pounds.

NEW RIVER INLETTIDE TABLES

As the heat continues to skyrocket outside, the Heat continues to rise in Miami as they take on

the Dallas Mavericks in a rematch of the 2006 NBA Finals, with the championship trophy on the line once again.

Corny lines aside, this series could prove to be a memorable and game-changing one for the National Basketball Association.

Will this be the start of a new dynasty in Miami? Or will Dirk Nowitzki solidify his place as one of the greatest big men of all-time with a championship for his title-hungry owner, Mark Cuban?

As you watch the remainder of these NBA Finals, keep the following thoughts in mind. These factors may very well help determine the outcome of the series.

Big 3 … and who else?Everyone and their mother knows

about the triumvirate that formed in Miami last summer when LeBron James joined forces with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh to form one of the most intimidating trios the NBA has ever seen.

But, even with all the talent and chemistry those three bring to the table, they cannot do it alone. The

stellar play of Joel Anthony and Udonis Haslem has been as key to the Heat’s run to the NBA Finals as James’ takeovers late in games. Without them, the Heat wouldn’t even be in place to make those game-winning runs.

The move that I think should be made? Why not start playing Mario Chalmers more and Mike Bibby less? Bibby has become a shadow of his former self and has not looked good since … well, since joining the Heat should my memory serve me correctly. Chalmers shoots better and can play better defense, which the Heat need to win this series.

Dirk and FriendsDirk Nowitzki has become the

toast of Dallas and, most recently, the anti-LeBron crowd thanks to his out-of-this-world play, recently. But it will be the bench and depth at center that could be even more valuable to the Mavs. The Mavericks can go two-deep at every position without much drop off, which cannot be said at all about the Heat.

In addition, Dallas has two very solid big men in Tyson Chandler and Brandon Haywood (though he may be old, Haywood can still be a defensive force inside – rare, but it does happen – and can prove to be a valuable big body off the bench).

J.J. Barea has also seen his playing career take off in these playoffs. Can he continue his hot play off the bench against an aging Bibby? Again, another reason Miami should play Chalmers if they want to win.

And often forgotten is Shawn Marion, who has seen his game revitalized close to the level he played at in the golden days with Steve Nash in Phoenix.

The Rebirth of Zone Defense

in the NBA?If you watched the Heat’s 94-82

victory two nights ago, you may have noticed a lot of zone defense. Yes, the same zone defense you learned when you played youth basketball and was considered more or less inadaptable to the NBA.

Now, it has proven to be one of the keys of the Mavericks’ defense revival, as they run it more often and better than any other team in the league. The Heat seemed to be using it some last night as well, trying to give the Mavericks a taste of their own medicine.

The Last Basketball We May See for a While

Something that has kept amazingly quiet by most of the national media (but that I have said over and over again and will continue to do so) is that this could be the last professional basketball we will see from the NBA in some time.

Like the NFL, the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement expires this year and, as bad as things look in the NFL, the NBA has an even bleaker outlook as the players and owners remain on opposite sides of the country when it comes to making an agreement.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: enjoy it while you can fans.

All that said, my prediction going into the Finals was that the Heat would win in 5. I’m not going to change my mind just because of one game either. I’ve said this for a while now.

So there you have it – the start of a dynasty in Miami thanks to the “Big Three,” “the Heatles,” “Batman, Robin and Chris Bosh.” Whatever you like to call them. At the end of this series, we’ll all be calling them champions.

MCCS offers patrons a splash of funPFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAKMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

If service members, families and patrons are looking for a fun, affordable recreational event, the Outdoor Adventures program with Marine Corps Community

Services has much to offer.Patrons splashed and paddled through

waves during the Kayak in the Sun event hosted by Outdoor Adventures, MCCS aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, May 26.

The event was a free one-hour kayaking tour with a scenic route on New River. Out-door Adventures scheduled tours from May 2 through Aug. 30, twice a week aboard MCB Camp Lejeune and Camp Johnson.

Kayaking is open to all authorized DOD identification card-holding patrons ages 10 and up. Parents must accompany all children.

Families don’t have to worry about denting their wallets because MCCS makes having a good time affordable.

“I think that it’s a big hole that our program fills,” said Ben Fleming, a recreational assistant with Outdoor Adventures, MCCS. “It’s hard to beat prices. If someone were to try and find a place in town to rent kayaks, it could be extremely expensive - costing up to $35 per hour for each kayak.”

Aside from being an affordable event, it also gives service members and their fami-

lies an experience to remember. “I thought the kayaking was great, and

the wind gave my arms a good workout,” said Stephanie Peterson, a military spouse that participated in the event. “I’m new to (MCB) Camp Lejeune, and (MCCS) has already shown me a good time. Now, I’m eager to learn more about the other pro-grams and events that MCCS offers.”

Most participants were familiar with MCCS programs, and many said that they use their website to search for new things to do.

“MCCS provides great services that are family oriented,” said Peterson. “I’m famil-iar with their website and finding events are easy and simple.”

The Outdoor Adventure program tries to add new activities for service members and families to try, but in the past they’ve dropped many of the events due to the lack of participants. Although some activities may be lost, Outdoor Adventures has plans of adding extreme recreational activities that offer an adrenaline rush to thrill seek-ers. Programs such as the white-water raft-ing and zip lining are already available.

“I’m happy that we’re able to give some-thing back to the service members and their families because they’ve done a lot for us already,” said Fleming.

Devil Pups honored at Spring Sports Award CeremonyA Job Well DoneA Job Well DoneRUSSELL VARNERSports editor

Nearly one-third of Lejeune High School’s student population was hon-ored May 24 at the Spring Sports Award Ceremony held at the high school aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Mem-bers of the school’s golf, girls’ soccer, softball, baseball and boys’ and girls’ track and field teams gathered with faculty and parents to watch their fellow classmates and teammates honored for their achieve-ments both on and off the field.

“It’s a perfect package,” said Lejeune High School principal Eric Steimel. “We’re proud of a lot of good things (that the athletes) do, but (they always) bring it back to the classroom. They (also) learn a lot of lessons out on the field about perseverance, competition, determination ... You look at the circum-stances and difficulties (they face), they aren’t just overcoming, they are excelling. I’m very proud of them.”

“It’s an awesome feeling that we have a third of the population participating in athletics in the spring,” added Deb-bie Bryant, the school’s athletic director and head coach of the girls’ track and field team. “Not only do they exceed at sports, but academically as well … You have great parent support and the coaches are behind the academics too. They are students first, athletes second at Lejeune High School.”

Of the 130 students-athletes who participated in the spring athletic season, 39 made either the Honor Roll (As and Bs) or Principal’s List (all As) in the spring semester. It was the perfect icing on the cake for a successful spring campaign for the Devil Pups.

Both the boys’ and girls’ track and field teams each experienced great seasons. Both teams had runners reach the region-al and state meets. The girls’ team had its best season in over a decade, finishing first in both the 1A Coastal Plains Confer-ence and regional meets.

The Devil Pup golf team also tasted its fair share of success, finishing second in the conference, led by senior Dan Crapa-rotta, who earned an All-Conference team selection and was named the team’s most valuable player.

“It means a lot,” he said of his awards. “It’s very rewarding. It’s awesome to see the awards and to be appreciated that much (by) my coaches and friends and to know that I was recognized for my hard work and all I’ve done to achieve it.”

The Devil Pup baseball, softball and girls’ soccer teams all began building teams that will hopefully one day bring even more titles to LHS. Each was an un-derclassmen-laden squad that saw its fair share of ups and downs throughout the year. But, their seasons were not about

the wins or losses. It was about building for the future and building friendships, teaching life lessons and making memo-ries that would last a lifetime.

“We looked at it as trying to build a foundation of a program, which we did,” said baseball Head Coach Doug Erny. “I thought it was a really successful (season for us). We didn’t lose anybody due to academics or for getting in any trouble … This year, we got guys who were re-ally into baseball.”

As boys’ track and field head coach Darryl Schwartz put it, the pride is com-ing back to LHS. Athletically and aca-demically, the Devil Pups are succeeding at all aspects of their lives as student-ath-letes, which means more to the coaches than any state championship ever could.

Lejeune youngsters get their kicks

Photo by Lance Cpl. Miranda BlackburnSensei Keith James, instructor of the Okinawan Seidokan Karate Kobudo class, helps a student with her positioning Thursday at the Midway Park Community Center. The class is available to student ages 5 and up on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Midway Park Community Center.

LANCE CPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURNMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

In unison, children as young as 5 years old transition from movement to movement, practicing the skills taught to them by Sensei Keith James.

Students, ages 5 and up, attend the Okinawan Seidokan Karate Kobudo class Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Midway Park Community Center.

James has been a karate instructor for more than 17 years, 14 of them at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

“This class teaches the children manners, respect, courtesy, perseverance and to always strive to do better,” said James. “The last thing is to rebuke hot blooded courage, which basically means to not get upset so they do not act incorrectly.”

In Seidokan, the class attempts to review these rules in their minds during the brief periods of meditation, by incorporating these rules into their minds before training and reaffirming them at the end of their workouts.

This is not the only time students are taught to abide by these rules, though. It is engrained that these guide-lines should be a way of life, to better themselves and to make Seidokan a style that its students can be proud of.

The most important thing a student can learn from this style of martial arts is respecting others, added Reginald

Washington, assistant karate instructor.

Students are taught a variety of stances, blocks, punches and kicks.

James employs some creative and fun techniques with his younger students to compete with their 5-year-old attention spans.

“I believe that the Oki-nawan style of Seidokan is one of the finest martial art programs offered any-where,” said James. “It is a style that appeals to both experienced martial artists and novices with no prior martial arts training.”

The students learn coordination required for carrying out the Okinawan Seidokan Karate art form.

While attending the class students are tested out for different belt levels.

Belt testing mainly consists of Kata demonstra-tions, Yakusoku Kumite and weapons Kata if they are testing for brown or black belts.

Prices differ for each level of testing and are subject to change at anytime but it is James’ goal to keep the prices as reasonable as possible.

“You will find Seidokan is taught from the heart and not from the wallet,” said James. “If you look around, you will see that the month-ly cost to attend the class is very inexpensive compared to others, and you will definitely get your money’s worth by attending.”

For more information on attending the Okinawan Seidokan Karate Kobudo class, contact the Midway Park Community Center at 451-1807.

SGT. BRYAN A. PETERSONMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Every year right before the summer-time, the Marine Corps stresses safety to its Marines and sailors during the 101 Critical Days of Summer campaign, since the hot, sunny season is considered the most dangerous part of the year for safety mishaps.

But, Marine Corps Community Services’ Semper Fit Division aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, for the second straight year, is making the summer campaign more akin to the com-petitive nature of Marines and sailors.

Take “critical” out, and you have the 101 Days of Summer, a summer-long event designed to foster athletic and recreational competition while promot-ing safety.

The event kicked off May 20 at Liv-ersedge Field with various units compet-ing against each other in volleyball. The events will run through Sept. 2 with tug-of-war as the final competition at W.P.T. Hill Field aboard the base.

Open to all units, the competition is broken into three divisions. The large division consists of 1,000 personnel or more; medium with 500 to 999 and small with less than 500. First place units will receive $1,000, $750 and $500 respectively and second place finishers will receive $750, $500 and $250.

Each unit that shows up to an event will automatically receive one point, and depending on how they finish, 10 points will be awarded to first place and five for second. After the last competition in Sep-tember, the winners will be announced.

Susan Goodrich, the branch head for the Single Marine Program, Semper Fit Division, MCCS, said the event was cre-ated with the intent to make more people aware about the dangers of illicit drug use, alcohol abuse, and offer fun, healthy alternatives as an option.

“We can get more Marines and sailors out here by using this event to draw them in and educate them,” said Goodrich. “At these events, we have

the Department of Defense (multi-media campaign), ‘That Guy,’ to inform service members about consequences of excessive drinking to the MCCS Health Promotion staff handing out sunscreen to prevent people from getting sun burnt. It’s a fun, informative environment.”

She said while last year was a success, they hope to raise the bar this year by getting the word out more.

“Last year, we had good turnouts, but not where we wanted to be,” said Goo-drich. “This year, we have briefed the units to require each of them to have a point of contact who will be responsible for spreading the message to all of their Marines and sailors.”

In addition to last year, 101 Days of Summer will make the event more con-venient to those service members who would like to participate.

“We put more locations throughout the base so the average service member doesn’t have to find different modes of travel to get to any one place,” said Goodrich. “We’ll utilize (gymnasiums), recreation centers and fields at places such as Courthouse Bay and Stone Bay.”

This year, however, could be a win-win situation for any particular unit participating. If a unit already has a team for an event, such as three-on-three bas-ketball, another team can be assembled and compete.

“We won’t put a set limit on how many teams from one unit that wants to participate,” said Goodrich. “Put it this way, that gives that unit more of a chance of coming out on top.”

The summer-long event includes kayaking, skeet, three-on-three basket-ball, video gaming, home-run derby, dodge ball, billiards, golf and bowling. The next event, three-on-three basket-ball, takes place today at 11:30 a.m. at various gymnasiums aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

For more information about 101 Days of Summer, or to get the full summer schedule, call 451-4642 or visit www.mccslejeune.com/101days.

101 Days of Summer promotes physical, mental readiness

the playoffs, winning their games in the tournament by a combined 47-11 margin.

But that all quickly changed, as 5th Bn., 10th Marines’ bats got off to a hot start and built a 5-0 lead in the blink of an eye. Before they knew it, 5th Bn., 10th Marines, had the bases loaded with just one out in the top of the third inning, poised to break the game wide open and possibly end the game early via the mercy rule (a game can end early if a team trails by a certain amount of runs after a certain amount of innings). A loss in this game would mean the championship would go to a deciding game later that evening, with 5th Bn., 10th Marines, riding all the momentum.

“In softball, if you’re the top seed and someone’s got to (beat you twice), if they take that first game, it sucks the life right out of you,” said MCCSSS infielder Tra-vis Oakley. “Now, they have nothing to lose. They have everything to gain. They (have) the momentum. That can be really scary.”

But the softball gods smiled upon MCCSSS, as they instead forced an inning-ending and game-changing double play. After that, the support schools’ bats came to life and they rallied to tie the game at six by the end of the sixth inning.

“That was huge,” Giroir said of the double play. “Because softball is such an offensive sport, whenever you can get out of a jam with the bases loaded and one out with a key double play, it’s a huge momentum shift. It still had (us) believe (we) were still in the game and who knows, a couple hits and they are up eight, nine or 10-nothing and they’re looking at run-ruling us. That was a clutch double-play and a big time

stop by (our shortstop) Tim (Christian).”

Just when it seemed that a victory was inevitable for MCCSSS, 5th Bn., 10th Ma-rines used back-to-back RBI hits to take an 8-6 lead into the last inning of the game. 5th Bn., 10th Marines, who had played earlier in the evening and was creamed by the support school 17-2 the previous night, was three outs away from forcing a deciding last game of the postseason tournament.

“I was nervous, really nervous,” said 5th Bn., 10th Marines, Coach Travis Mc-Cune. “(But, the players’) nerves were settled (tonight). They wanted it and they showed it.”

Unfortunately, that wouldn’t be enough for 5th Bn., 10th Marines, MCCSSS pulled through once again.

With runners on first and second and one out, MCCSSS hit a ball that could’ve been the game-end-ing double play. Instead, the ball was bobbled by 5th Bn., 10th Marines’ infield for just their second error of the game. Christian, MCCSSS’s next batter, made 5th Bn., 10th Marines, pay for their mistake by launching the ball into right-centerfield, tying the game with a two-RBI double.

“Right before I came up, I said, ‘I’m going to hit the ball hard,’” he said. “‘Like a laser.’ I wanted to try to hit the ball through somebody … Everybody thought I meant a home run, but, in reality, I was going for that laser and that’s exactly what came off the bat.”

With the championship-clinching run and a perfect season standing at third, Joseph Negley pulled a pitch just inches away from 5th Bn., 10th Marines’, first baseman. The ball bounced and rolled past the right fielder as all of MCCSSS

mobbed Neagle for his walk-off single.

“It’s a song that we’ve been singing all year, basically,” Christian said. “We’ve had a couple of games that’ve come down to the bottom of the seventh, bottom of the sixth inning and we needed some clutch hits and some guys came through when we needed them to. That’s the kind of team we are. That’s why we play well together and came through at the end.”

For 5th Bn., 10th Ma-rines, the loss was a bitter pill to swallow, especially since the battalion is dissolv-ing next year. But, McCune didn’t see falling just short of their ultimate goal as a failure.

“(This season was an) extreme success,” he said. “We struggled through some hardships with leaves and field ops (that caused us) to miss some key players. We lost (only) two regular season games and two postseason games, so I can’t complain at all. 13-4 is an extreme success for us, for a team that’s never played together … A lot of teams have guys that have played together at least a year.”

As for MCCSSS, the ulti-mate dream came true. They had done what very few before them ever had, gone undefeated from game one to game 16 of the season, bringing home the intramu-ral softball championship to the support schools.

“I’ll tell you,” said Oakley. “For a small camp, a lot of us have been playing softball (for) pretty much our whole Marine Corps careers. For fielding this team from Camp Johnson, as small as it is, that’s pretty special (by) itself … Our coach, he put this team together and the chemistry was there from day one. Nobody ever got down no matter what game we were in. It was fun.”

CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

On July 8, 1999, Lance Cpl. Giuseppe Leto participated in an eight-mile company hike aboard Marine

Corps Base Camp Lejeune. The com-pany commander marched the unit too quickly with no rest periods in the near-90 degree heat. During the course of the hike, fellow Marines observed Leto vomiting and sweat-ing excessively, and after the hike, he wandered off from the unit, only to be found dead hours later. The result-ed cause of death was heat-related.

While the garrison Marine of MCB Camp Lejeune and the deployed Ma-rine in Helmand province, Afghanistan, share few daily similarities, one thing is parallel, especially during the current time of year: heat. While the differenc-es in terrain are obvious, the men and women in uniform in both locations are required to take measures to guard against the oppressive heat, or become another statistic.

“Some people think ‘I’m hydrated, so I’m protected,’” said Cmdr. Steve Blivin, physician with the Family and Sports Medicine Department of Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune. “There are many more factors in guarding yourself against heat-related injuries, not just hy-drating when you feel like it.”

With the summer season quickly making its presence known aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, the possibility for heat casualties is on the rise, having already struck various service members aboard the base unlucky enough to exer-cise unprepared.

“No one wants to get the infamous silver bullet (rectal thermometer),” said Blivin. “But further, no one wants to end up dead.”

While rare, death can be the result of a culmination of heat-related effects on the body, and while Marines may not necessarily die if they under-hydrate or do not properly prepare for physical

training in the heat, there is a multitude of unpleasant outcomes.

“The spectrum of exertional heat in-juries ranges from simple heat cramps to life threatening heat stroke,” said Blivin. “Common sense and an understanding of (these injuries) are essential to their effective identification, prevention and treatment.”

There are four types of heat-related injuries dictated by two major risk fac-tors. Judged by a marriage of environ-mental and personal determinants, such as types of clothing worn, working out with others rather than alone and inad-equate sleep, all contribute to how one’s body can be effected by the hot weather. The four types of heat-related injuries and their remedies are as follow:

Heat cramps: Painful muscle spasms of the legs, arms and torso caused by under-hydration. Can be treated with salty foods and proper fluids.

Heat syncope: Fainting or collapsing caused by blood pooling in the legs (not properly circulating to the brain). Oc-curs commonly after running if the run-ner does not take a cooldown walk/jog. Can be treated with shade, water and laying flat with the legs elevated.

Heat exhaustion: Fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, cramps, rapid breath-ing, rapid heart rate or dizziness may occur. Can be treated by elevating the legs above the heart, properly hydrated, minimizing clothing and resting in a cool place.

Heat stroke: Collapsing or mental status change, such as being uncom-monly giddy, agitated or combative, and occurs with little to no signs and is the most serious of the four. Can be treated by maintaining the casualty’s airway, removing him from the heat and sun, removing all clothing while keeping necessary undergarments on and dous-ing with water until a corpsman or other medical attendant arrives.

In the past five years, there have been a recorded 628 heat-related inju-ries events aboard MCB Camp Leje-une and Marine Corps Air Station New River alone, with a total of 564

casualties in 2010.“There are some treatment steps in

every instance, but the most important thing in guarding against these injuries is to prevent them beforehand,” said Blivin.

There are a number of safeguards on every installation to help protect against heat-related injuries, such as the heat flag activity system and various water coolers placed along running paths, but the prevention steps ultimately start and end with the individual service member. Taking into consideration such factors as proper sleep, proper clothing, balanced hydration and knowing one’s own phys-ical limitations will help defend against said heat injuries.

“One of the biggest things we try to stress is to watch what you drink,” said Blivin. “Alcohol has no role in sports performance – you don’t need to be drinking it before working out.”

Energy drinks are also something to watch out for. In moderation, caffeine is a performance enhancer, but taking too much will adversely affect the body. Wa-ter is also something to be kept in mod-eration, for while the concept of exces-sive hydration is thought by some to to be sufficient, it will in fact over-hydrate the body, causing hyponatremia, or wa-ter intoxication.

“Drink to your thirst, but definitely no more than three gallons per day, or 12 liters,” said Blivin. “I was involved in an investigation with a heat-related death, and the victim, prior to working out, drank 18 liters of water.”

The welfare of the Marines, sail-ors and civilians aboard MCB Camp Lejeune is of the utmost importance, and even though the base takes a vari-ety of measures to guard against such things as heat injuries, it is reliant on the individual person to ensure he or she does not fall victim to the rising temperature. Knowing one’s limits, preparing beforehand and properly ensuring the right measures have been taken are all part of keeping the gar-rison Marine healthy at home so he can be advantageous overseas.

As the temperature rises, so do heat injuries

Parisi relinquishes command of Staff Noncommissioned Offi cer AcademyCPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHTMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Made popular by the Zack Snyder movie “300,” the exploits of the ancient Greek

Spartans were brought to the pub-lic’s eye, spreading like wildfire as the strength and honor among those warriors faceted as a visual adrena-line boost for the watcher. Since then, the analogy of pure strength and motivation is that someone is dubbed a Spartan, and one such man, a Spartan who “puts the boom in shaka laka,” passes helm to anoth-er such warrior in his stead.

In a ceremony held at the Staff Noncommissioned Officer Academy aboard Camp Johnson, Sgt. Maj. Todd Parisi relinquished command as director of the SNCOA to Sgt. Maj. Timothy Weber, May 24.

“His spirit and enthusiasm changed things here (at the SNCOA) for the better,” said Gunnery Sgt. Hector Vicente, staff noncommis-sioned officer in charge for Sergeants’ Course at the academy. “We’re all going to miss him.”

With a reputation to “pound bones into small things and smaller things into dust,” Parisi has spent the last two and a half years overseeing thousands of corporals through gun-

nery sergeants bettering themselves personally and professionally, bring-ing the utmost level of dedication to his position as possible.

“This is a very, very emotional day for me, but with me or without me, this machine known as the Staff Non-commissioned Officer Academy will keep rolling,” said Parisi. “I just want to remind you all that it’s not about us – it’s about those who look to us for leadership. Use this event as a time to reflect on that.”

The guest speaker for the event, Sgt. Maj. William Skiles, sergeant major of the Marine Corps Uni-versity, spoke about the academy’s importance in today’s foreign con-flicts as well as making a difference in those who instruct and attend the academy.

“The point isn’t to be in charge of the academy, but to leave a signifi-cant impression here as well as on the Marines,” said Skiles. “(Parisi) has done this, and there is no doubt in my mind that Sgt. Maj. Weber will do the same.”

Skiles also spoke to the Marine staff and students in attendance, thanking them for voluntarily taking on the responsibility of attending the academy.

Weber, entering the Corps as a landing support specialist for 2nd Landing Support Battalion, 2nd Force Service Support Group (now

Marine Logistics Group), and making his way up to being the battalion ser-geant major of 8th Communications Battalion, II Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, spoke on the importance of the position he has been called upon to fill and the honor it has given him.

“Education is one of the most important things we as Marines can strive to get,” said Weber. “The times of the ‘dumb’ grunt following only the officer’s words are gone. They now know what is expected of them and what to do from there. For that, I will do my part to help write the next chapter in the SNCOA book and do everything in my power to get you what you need.”

As the colors were passed from out-going to incoming, Parisi’s eyes spoke of heavy emotion, but not regret. As he now steps further down the path of his Marine Corps career as sergeant major for the 26th Marine Expedi-tionary Unit, he can be assured that another Marine with his knowledge and zeal will hold the SNCOA to the high standard it is known for.

“The last thing I want to leave you all with is what leadership boils down to,” said Parisi. “The most important thing in leadership is if people know you care, they will run through hell, gargle napalm and backflip into con-certina wire with a smile – because they know you care.”

Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une’s commercial vehicle en-trance control facility, better known as the Piney Green Gate, is currently under con-

struction and once completed, will heighten base security.

The contractors who are currently building the new main gate on Holcomb Boulevard have also been tasked with the Piney Green Gate, which is slated to be finished by early fall of this year.

The contract includes improvements to Old Sawmill Road, which serves as a connection to Holcomb Boulevard and Piney Green Road, and also a new traffic signal on Lejeune Boulevard.

“This will help improve traffic going in and out of the base,” said Navy Lt. Michael Carr, a proj-ect manager with the Officer in Charge of Con-struction, Marine Corps Installation East. “The construction on Piney Green will also enhance protection with the new and improved Anti-Ter-rorism/Force Protection measures installed.”

When all construction is completed, there will be five lanes outbound lanes and two inbound lanes compared to the three outbound and one in-bound that Piney Green Road currently has. For commercial vehicles that come on base, the gate will have a commercial vehicle inspection area.

“We have moved the gate further into the base like the one that is currently being constructed on Holcomb,” said Carr. “We have also added a non-lethal vehicle barrier, which will meet the Anti-Terrorism Force Protection requirements.”

For decorative purposes, gates will be added from the Piney Green Gate to Lejeune Boule-vard. With it will be a crash-rated gate that can be used when the Piney Green Gate is closed on weekends.

The decorative gates on the outgoing side of the road will be constructed roughly 90 feet away from the road because of an upcoming project that will add two extra lanes, one outbound and the other inbound which will run all the way down to Sneads Ferry Road.

Washington, D.C. area. They are also called upon to perform funerals for sena-tors, members of Congress, heads of state and presidents. They have earned their reputation, and as all Marines do, they set high standards and train hard to exceed them.

The Body Bearer Section within Com-pany B, one of the ceremonial drill com-panies at Marine Barracks 8th and I, is al-ways looking for Marines to step up to the plate and become part of the elite.

“All Marine Body Bearers are infan-try men,” said Sgt. Michael Ramsey, the noncommissioned officer in charge of the Body Bearers Section. “We do however hand select Marines from both recruit de-pots as well as Marine Corps Bases Camp Lejeune and Pendleton and Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms.”

There are three initial criteria for can-didates: they must be infantrymen, they must pass an initial strength test and they must have a recommendation from their command.

Because Marine Barracks Washington is an infantry unit, every Marine must at any time be trained and capable to defend the nation’s capitol as well as contribute to Marine Corps forces serving in combat zones abroad.

These young Marines shoulder an enor-mous responsibility to represent the Ma-rine Corps in an atmosphere of utmost respect and honor. Being able to maintain ceremonial composure, sometimes stand-ing completely still for up to an hour at a time, is critical to their success.

Since the body bearers must carry cas-kets ranging in weight from 350 to 700 pounds, physical strength is critically im-portant in performing their mission. “A Marine must be between 5 feet 11 inches and 6 feet and 2 inches tall, weigh at least 205 pounds, posses an infantry military occupational specialty, and pass a strength test consisting of, a bench press of 225 pounds for a minimum of 10 repititions, behind-the-neck military press of 135 pounds for a minimum of 10 reps, straight-bar-curl 115 pounds for a minimum of 10 reps and squat 315 pounds for a minimum of 10 reps,” said Ramsey. “That is just to get accepted into our Ceremonial

Drill School.”Body Bearer Ceremonial Drill School is

four months long. The training focuses on the most important aspects of being a body bearer: learning the proper techniques nec-essary to conduct a funeral, working as a team and weight training.

“Ceremonial Drill School is a lot tougher than it sounds,” added Ramsey. “Training consists of learning the drill movements, carrying techniques, strength training, en-durance training, flag drill, learning the different types of funerals, basic body bear-er knowledge, uniform maintenance and cannon drill.”

The average body weight of a Marine body bearer is 230 pounds. This neces-sitates specially-altered uniforms that are tailored to fit, yet flexible enough to allow for the range of motion necessary to lift the caskets. Strength training is coupled with health and nutrition classes to help the body bearers achieve their weightlifting goals safely.

The road to becoming a body bearer is not an easy one and has great physical re-quirements. A typical day for a body bearer includes ceremonial burial practice, weight training and conditioning, while the rest of their day is spent attending infantry profi-ciency training classes.

“We have funerals daily that take priori-ty over any other tasks,” said Ramsey. “We can have up to six funerals a day, as well as Friday night parades and other ceremonies that may require our assistance.”

To meet their mission of upholding the history and traditions of the Body Bearer Section and the Marine Corps as a whole, they train hard every day and execute their duties with precision and perfection in honor of all who have served the Marine Corps.

“We take care of our own, we perform flawless funerals for our fallen brothers and sisters in honor of them and their sac-rifice, as well as their families sacrifices,” said Ramsey. “The last memory of their loved one will be of us carrying him or her to their final resting place and we want to ensure we honor them and their family.”

Service members are regularly given statistics – numbers that show deaths from motorcycle crashes, drug abuse, suicides, or even the number of Marines

and sailors who were arrested for driving under the influence every year. One statistic that gets taken too lightly is the number of sexual assault victims in the military.

Data collected from Naval Criminal In-vestigative Services shows that 1.1 percent per every 1,000 people reported a sexual assault in the Marine Corps during fiscal year 2010. While it may sound like such a small percentage, there are nearly 203,000 Marines, which turns that 1.1 percent into nearly 2,233 reports.

A single company, for example Head-quarters Company, averages 150 to 200 Ma-rines. These numbers mean that in 2010, the number of Marines that reported sexual as-sault would be enough to create more than 14 companies, or nearly five battalions. The 1.1 percent does not look as small anymore. And these are only the reported incidents.

“The Department of Defense says that approximately only 20 percent of incidents are reported,” said Marie Brodie, the Sexual Assault and Prevention Response program manager of Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une. “So even if you look at our numbers, they don’t actually (compare).”

The DOD has partnered with a non-profit organization called the Rape, Abuse and In-cest National Network, in order to create a completely confidential DOD-wide sexual assault response line.

“Any (service member) can either call, text or chat online with a trained victim advocate,” said Brodie. “The reason that they did this is because there has never been anything like this, and it is 100 percent con-fidential. That means that the victim advo-cate who answers that call will not make any further actions.”

The DOD Safe Helpline does not keep track of any information other than the num-ber of contacts made by either phone, text, or online chat. All Safe Helpline staff members on the other end of the line have been trained on DOD Directive 6495 for sexual assault, so they each have information on doing an either restricted or unrestricted report, if the victim chooses to do so.

“If a victim calls and says, ‘I would like an unrestricted report,’ they know how to explain that to them, who to go to, and they also have a list of all the sexual response coor-dinators at every installation,” said Brodie.

A Marine, who chooses to remain anon-ymous, aboard MCB Camp Lejeune has shared her story about sexual assault.

“The incident occurred in September of 2008,” said the victim. “I did not report until April 2009 because I knew nothing about the SARP program beyond who my (uniform vctim advocate) was, and I also knew that ev-eryone else was a mandatory reporter. I seri-ously thought they were the only ones I was allowed to talk to.”

The DOD Safe Helpline has helped fill a void and created three different methods for contact. The motto is “Help is just a Click, Call or Text away.” All three can be reached 24/7, around the world and are always confidential.

Brodie added that the texting is not as in-

teractive. “It’s limited, when a Marine or sail-or texts, they only get a text back of who their SARC is,” said Brodie. “It’s not truly texting the way a young Marine or sailor would think of having a conversation.”

The call line just kicked off April 1 and has already received a number of calls. From the moment a service member picks up the phone, that line will be picked up by an advo-cate who is trained to help. That is the same person that stays with the victim throughout.

The last way to use the DOD Safe Hel-pline is by online chat at www.safehelpline.org. The website has all information regard-ing numbers for calls and texts, and is the link to the anonymous online chat.

In the first step, a victim will need to read over the terms of service, which contains the user agreement, privacy policy and user safety procedures. The person must read and agree to the services before continuing. They will then be directed to the waiting room where a trained advocate will begin the session. A “Go Chat” button will appear when the ad-vocate is ready.

The chat will begin immediately after-ward. The user will be logged in as “Anony-mous,” to keep things confidential. No per-sonal information will be requested, and no logs or records of the conversations are kept.

Brodie added that from her experience, people who are assaulted want that privacy, the anonymity, and the DOD Safe Helpline provides that place to go.

“I didn’t want my commanding officer to know because I perceived that he was not receptive to those who had mental health is-sues,” said the anonymous victim. “When I was professionally ostracized because of his knowledge of my condition, my fears were

confirmed, and I was even transferred to an-other unit. (It was not until) after I realized I was getting screwed, I finally figured out who the SARC was and called them. He re-ferred me to a civilian victim advocate, and I made the restricted report. I think this could have turned out a lot better if I had known I could have gotten medical intervention and counseling confidentially early on in the pro-cess as opposed to trying to do everything on my own.”

Brodie said that the DOD Safe Helpline is an addition to, and not in place of, reporting the incident to authorities, but if a Marine of sailor only feels comfortable calling the DOD Safe Helpline, it is a valid choice.

“Knowing about a confidential hotline would have certainly assisted in this process I am sure. It gives options to all Marines and sailors, which is critical,” said the victim. “If I had known I could have gone to medical or Marine and family services I could have taken care of myself, before self-medicating or making irresponsible decisions. I thank God I never spun so out of control that I did something to disgrace myself or the uniform that I wear or the position that I held.”

The DOD Safe Helpline is available 24/7 no matter where in the world, and is com-pletely confidential. You can chat online at SafeHelpline.org, call 877-995-5247 to speak with someone, or text 55-247 if inside the U.S., or 202-470-5546 outside the U.S. for in-formation on the nearest SARC.

“We want Marines and sailors to know that one – you can report this, two – we are going to be here to help you if you do report this and three – there’s no way to stop an of-fender if it is never reported,” said Brodie. “We are going to take care of you.”

For service members who are retiring or issued permanent change of station orders, packing up their personal effects and having them sent to their new duty station or home just became a bit easier.

The old Transportation Operation Personal Property System has been replaced by the Defense Personal Property System, which is web-based. Even with all the changes oc-curring personally procured moves were not affected.

The site, www.move.mil, gives the active duty and retiring service members to self counsel and the opportunity to fill out applications to have personal effects shipped to their new place of residence all from the comfort of their own home. However, final paperwork from the site needs to be turned in to TMO to ensure that the service member has filled out everything properly.

With TOPPS, service members were counseled by TMO

and then TMO personnel handled the shipping. With DPS, service members can now track the delivery status of their personal belongings which can help in reducing storage costs because they will know when their personal belongings are available for pick-up.

“It’s a lot easier. It eliminates some paperwork and is a lot faster for the transportation service provider,” said Master Sgt. Arnaldo Tinoco, the personal property chief with the Traffic Management Office, Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une. “The (movers) are paid faster which in turn provides a better service.”

The TMO realizes that some may experience technical difficulties when attempting to utilize DPS, and will ensure that any problems encountered are properly rectified.

Another new addition is the full replacement value pro-tection. TOPPS worked on a depreciative value scale.

“If you had a TV that cost $300 when you bought it the value of it would depreciate over time, so if it broke, you wouldn’t get the full amount,” said Tinoco. “Now, with the Full Replacement Value Protection, if the TV broke, they

would get the full $300.”After the dust has settled and the service member has re-

ceived their personal property, they can also take a customer satisfaction survey that will help others who use TMO in the future.

The online survey focuses on the quality of service that was provided and the Army’s Surface Deployment and Dis-tribution Command, who is in charge of the website, gives the transportation service provider a score which helps them choose the best movers for the service members.

“The main reason we moved from TOPPS to DPS was to improve the quality of service from the moving companies,” said Tinoco. “This streamlines the claims process, imple-ments electronic payments for the movers and also comes with full replacement value protection. It’s still fairly new, but once it’s at full capacity it will be great for everyone.”

To learn more about DPS, visit www.move.mil. All ques-tions regarding this system can be directed to the Personal Property Supervisor/Chief at 451-2377 Ext. 210.

Hundreds gather to remember the fallenAMY BINKLEYCarolina Living editor

Freedom should never be surrendered. Vir-tue should never be stolen. True heroes should never be forgotten.

The sun sat high and hot as more than 500 guests made their way to honor and

remember fallen service men and women at the annual Memorial Day Ceremony at Coastal Carolina Veterans Cemetery in Jacksonville, N.C., Monday.

However inviting and cordial the atmosphere, the memories were nearly palpable and tears flowed freely even before the ceremony began.

“We pause to remember those who paid the highest price,” said Cmdr. Edward Nash as he gave the invocation.

The ceremony, hosted every year by the Beirut Memo-rial Chapter 642 Military Order of the Purple Heart, has become a tradition for Onslow County and its residents.

“Our community appreciates this day more than any other day,” said N.C. State Senator Harry Brown. “They are our neighbors, coaches, Sunday school teachers – it hits home. It means a little more to us.”

While Chapter 642 Commander Verl Matthews wel-comed special guests, including Brown and Representa-tive Phil Shepard, prestigious rank did not exclude any-one from grief.

“RIO” (G)“Rio” is an animated

comedy adventure from the makers of the “Ice Age” series, this time shot in 3-D.

The story centers on a bird from a small town who takes a walk on the wild side.

Blu, voiced by Jesse Eisenberg, is a rare bird, a Macaw who was born in the Brazilian rain forest and smuggled to America, where he was domesti-cated and never learned how to fly.

He is living a comfort-able life with his owner and best friend Linda, voiced by Leslie Mann, a bookstore owner, in the small town of Moose Lake, Minn.

Blu and Linda think that he is the last of his kind, but they find out about another Macaw who lives in Rio de Janeiro.

They immediately book a flight and head to the faraway, exotic land to find Blu’s female counterpart, a gorgeous and free spirited bird named Jewel, voiced by Anne Hathaway.

However, Jewel is not impressed by Blu, espe-cially his inability to fly.

Not long after Blu and Linda arrive in Rio de Ja-neiro, they are kidnapped by a group of bungling animal smugglers.

With the help of the street smart Jewel, and a group of wise-cracking and smooth-talking city birds, Blu escapes.

Now, with his new friends by his side, Blue

will have to find the cour-age to learn to fly and thwart the kidnappers, who are hot on their trail.

And ultimately, Blu wants to return to Linda, the best friend a bird ever had.

Among the other famous voices are Jamie Foxx as Nico; The Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am as Pedro; Wanda Sykes as Chloe, the Goose; Jane Lynch as Alice; George Lopez as a peppy toucan; and Tracy Morgan as an attention-loving bulldog.

Director Carlos Saldan-ha (“Ice Age”), who was born in Brazil, interweaves the sights and sounds of his homeland, including soccer and the carnival, with a sweet little love story.

“Rio” is the perfect adventure to enjoy with the entire family. With its lush landscape and beauty and infectious music of Rio de Janeiro, 3-D works wonders and one has the immediate desire to book a flight to Brazil.

“PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES” (PG-13)

“Pirates of the Caribbe-an: On Stranger Tides” is the fourth adventure, this time in 3-D, in the highly popular pirate series.

Johnny Depp (“Ran-go,” “Alice in Wonder-land,” “Public Enemies”) is taking his fourth turn in playing the bizarre and egomaniacal swashbuckler Captain Jack Sparrow,

who has lost his treasured ship, the Black Pearl, in the previous tale.

This time around, he finds himself in a pecu-liar position with his old nemesis, the peg-legged Captain Barbossa, played again by Geoffrey Rush (“The King’s Speech”), who has given up piracy so to speak of, for service to his government and the king.

Barbossa has been sent by the king on a mission of finding the elusive Fountain of Youth before the Spaniards, who are on the same quest, discover it.

However, others are on the same track, like the mighty Blackbeard and his spitfire daughter with their ship Queen’s Revenge, on which Captain Sparrow is now a passenger.

Penelope Cruz (“Nine,” “Vicki Christina Barce-lona”) co-stars as An-gelica, a saucy and fierce pirate, and a former flame of Jack, who still cares for him but also wants

revenge.Ian McShane (“Case

39,” “Death Race”) plays her sadistic and evil father, the merciless and formi-dable pirate Blackbeard, a worthy opponent for Jack.

And rocker Keith Richards - all too briefly - reprises his role as Jack’s father, Captain Teague.

Also returning is Kevin McNally (“Valkyrie”) who plays Jack’s right-hand man, Joshamee Gibbs.

British newcomer Sam Claflin can be seen as Philip, a young mission-ary who is held hostage aboard Blackbeard’s ship and who falls for a captive mermaid.

Spanish-French actress, Astrid Berges-Frisbey ap-pears as Syrena, a beauti-ful and friendly mermaid, who is somehow needed to unlock the power of the Fountain of Youth. She is pretty helpless and fragile while captured and tormented by Blackbeard; however, when she is in the water she is, along

with the other mermaids, transformed into voracious creatures of prey.

The three previous installments were meant as a trilogy; however, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” begins a new adventure that can stand on its own.

This time Rob Mar-shall (“Chicago,” “Nine,” “Memoirs of a Geisha,” “Annie”) directed and skillfully put together some sensational stunts and special effects.

Talented Jerry Bruck-heimer returned as pro-ducer, who also procured Tim Power’s 1987 fantasy

novel “On Stranger Tides” for the film’s background story.

All in all, previous installments have been nominated for 11 Acad-emy Awards and winning for Visual Effects in 2006 for “Dead Man’s Chest.”

“Pirates of the Carib-bean: On Stranger Tides” is another great adventure for all the fans of Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow and the fantasy world of pirates.

Lemonade never tasted so good.

Fourth and fifth

grade students from the gifted education class at Tarawa Terrace II El-ementary School at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area showed it doesn’t take much to make a differ-ence when they presented a check to the Hope for the Warriors foundation, May 26.

The children sold more than 1,000 cups of lem-onade at 25 cents each during lunch for two days and raised nearly $300.

“This group of chil-dren is extraordinary,” said Shay Lanier, Gifted Resource teacher. “They thought bigger and be-yond themselves. They were determined to make a difference.”

The idea for the student-driven fund-raiser came during a class discussion for an end-of-the-year project. Lanier explained how all the kids wanted to do something to help others, but it was the collaboration of ideas from students Emma Schmoyer and Andrew Nicks that helped them focus on selling some-thing small and donating the proceeds to Hope for the Warriors.

“Some of (my father’s) friends got hurt,” said Schmoyer.

With at least one par-ent serving in the mili-tary, none of the children are naïve to, at least some of, the effects of war. They were also aware of how Hope for the War-

riors had benefited one of their teachers, making the choice to support the organization an easy one.

“We’re children and we think about the grown ups who take care of us,” said Nicks. “If warriors help us, we help them back.”

Nicks suggested the idea of selling lemonade at lunch and wasn’t sur-prised at the response of the student body.

“I think it went well,” he said. “I was thinking something little, but every minute we sold at least a dollar’s worth (of lemonade).”

After presenting the plan to the school’s Par-ent Teacher Organization, the class received the support and supplies they needed to provide a tasty treat for their peers while raising money for their heroes.

“We sent home flyers for two weeks explaining what we would be doing,” said Lanier. “Everybody can afford a quarter. We sold 600 cups in our first try, so we decided to do it again.”

The results were noth-ing short of impressive, and with a generous donation from the PTO, the students were ready to present a check for $400 to the program.

Partnering with a student talent show that had been postponed because of last month’s tornadoes, Lanier invited Peggy Rochon, Hope for the Warriors southeast regional director, and Cathryn Pavia, the orga-nization’s North Carolina office administrator, to receive the earnings.

“These children are already serving their

country,” said Rochon. “For them to go above and beyond is an example to us all.”

The students of TTII Elementary School aren’t all business, but they know how to celebrate success. Many of the kids took to the stage to flaunt their talents.

Victoria Reed and Meilani Herrara danced to Katy Perry’s “Cali-fornia Girls,” and Maria Domerese had the crowd clapping with her song and dance to Carrie Un-derwood’s “All American Girl.” Other acts included a skit and a cover of Mi-ley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA,” which had all the students singing along.

“It was a good time,” said Mariah Murdock, a fifth grader. “I liked doing something different.”

At the conclusion of the show, the gifted education class gathered on stage to present a giant, handmade check to Rochon and Pavia for $400 for Hope for the Warriors.

The PTO donated the extra money to show their support for the program and the children’s efforts.

“(This was) really moving,” said Pavia. “It makes sense to them to help others.”

Rochon was both proud and thankful to the students for their hard work and kind hearts.

“They have demon-strated to our service members that their sac-rifice is recognized and appreciated by the next generation,” she said.

NAVY LT. DOYL E. MCMURRYMarine Corps Combat Service Support Schools

Some years ago, there was a young man from a wealthy family who befriended a man who was poor. Their friendship went beyond economic sta-tus and neither made an issue of what the other had or didn’t have.

After some time, the rich, young man stopped coming. One day stretched into a week and the poor man was concerned for his friend.

Soon he found out that his friend had died. As he grieved, he collected some art supplies and sketched a portrait of him. He delivered this por-trait to the home of the rich young man’s father.

When the father received the portrait, he cherished it and had it framed. He displayed the portrait alongside priceless works of art in his home.

In time, the father died. Since he had no heir, his will directed that his estate be sold at an auc-tion. News went out of the day and time of the auction. The poor man heard of it and pieced to-gether some appropriate clothing so that he could attend. He wanted to visit the home of his friend just once before it changed hands.

The day of the auction arrived and a crowd of people gathered in the home for the auction. Art dealers were there in the hopes of acquiring one (or more) of the famed paintings collected by the family.

These hopes led to disappointment when the executor of the estate announced that only one portrait was for sale. There was a murmur in the crowd as each person pondered the questions, “Why?” and “Which one?”

The covering was removed from the portrait to be sold only to reveal the portrait of the rich man’s son made by the poor man. Everyone there thought it was a “nice” portrait, but nothing in comparison to the works of art that lined the hallways.

The auctioneer began the bidding, but there was hesitancy in the crowd. No one even made a bid on the portrait.

After a long, awkward silence, the poor man fished into his pockets and found a $10 bill. He raised his hand and asked if they would take a low bid.

Laughter was heard throughout the crowd but was cut short when the auctioneer accepted the bid. When there were no other bids, the portrait was sold to the poor man.

The executor of the estate returned to the podium to announce that there was a second provision in the will. His pronouncement shocked the entire crowd.

He said, “Whoever bids on the portrait of the son, will receive the entire estate.”

The poor man became rich simply because of his friendship with the son. Scripture says much the same thing. “He who has the son has the life; he who does not have the son of God does not have the life.” I John 5:12.

How is your relationship to God? Don’t ne-glect that relationship. He loves you more than you know.

Know your-self and seek self-improve-ment.

Know your Marines and look out for their welfare. Be technically and tacti-cally proficient. Set the example.

Along with seven other values, these sentences make up the Marine Corps’ leadership princi-ples, a list of phrases that briefly encompasses the ethos of what it means to be a leader of Marines.

While leadership is stressed toward every Ma-rine from the lowest rank, it is the noncommissioned officers who are expected to dutifully carry out such principles toward any Marine under them.

Yet, while a variety of annual training require-ments are held, it may not be getting across the full reality of the importance of involved leadership.

This is why approxi-mately 850 NCOs and second and third class petty officers from the various commands and bases under II Marine Expeditionary Force, Ma-rine Corps Installations East, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command and Training and Education Command gathered for a Leadership Awareness Conference at the Riverfront Conven-tion Center in New Bern, N.C., May 25.

“For a day, we’re teaching these NCOs about what they need to know to identify signs of things such as suicide, al-cohol abuse and violence in their Marines and what

to do before anything happens,” said Kathy McCarrell, executive director of the Heroes and Healthy Families, the organization responsible for the leadership seminar.

In 2002, then-Judge Pamela Iles of the Orange County Superior Court in California remarked on how many Marines returning from combat deployments were getting in trouble for a variety of small, avoidable offenses, such as speeding and be-ing drunk in public.

She saw a need for some sort of forum to take place for Marine NCOs to become aware of such problems and how to manage and prevent them from happening.

After approaching the leadership of Marine Corps Base Camp Pend-leton with her proposal, the annual Leadership Awareness Conference was created, touching on four to six Marine Corps base areas per year.

“The most important thing to remember is to look out for your Marines – recognize when some-thing might not be right with them,” said Iles, as she spoke to the audience. “You’re never alone in the Marine Corps or the Navy, and we are now in a time where we can treat whatever issues someone

may face. Reach out to them.”

Hosted by Lt. Gen. John Paxton, command-ing general of II MEF and commander of U.S. Marine Forces Africa, the conference included a score of civilian experts and military authorities on virtually every topic detrimental to service members’ well-being.

Suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, family or partner violence, adrena-line addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder were all spoken about in-depth. The Marines and sailors in attendance were given an abundance of knowledge on signs of recognition and ways to prevent such problems in themselves as well as their Marines.

“We in attendance are going to pull what we can from this conference and take it back to our units to spread the knowledge,” said Cpl. Curtis Hauser, operations NCO with the Marine Corps Security Force Regiment, II MEF. “This is basically what all our annual training cov-ers, but some go through the material too quickly. This is more effective in reaching the Marines and providing more information.”

Rather than the con-ventional single hours of safety briefs throughout the year and lecturing to a

crowd in between work periods, this day-long conference held the audience captive, yet kept their interest throughout the eight hours of speakers.

Periodically involving the audience in discus-sion questions, the air of regretfulness of attending was not felt.

“There is no post-war period for the Marine Corps and the Navy,” said Paxton. “That’s why you are here – to better prepare yourself for lead-ing your Marines when the beast rises again. This day will put more ar-rows in your quiver, more tools in your kitbag and strengthen the knowledge in yourself and in your Marines.”

At the end of the day, when the Marines and sailors were transported back to their respective bases and units, each and every one of the attending war fighters was richer for the experience.

As NCOs and petty of-ficers, leaders of Marines and sailors, knowing those newer service mem-bers is crucial to recogniz-ing and preventing any life-altering mistakes that might be made.

This, plus much more, is what the 850 men and women took away May 25 to better themselves, those around them and those to come.

There is no post-war period for the Marine Corps and the Navy. That’s why you are here – to better prepare yourself for leading your Marines when the beast rises again.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. 6D JUNE 2, 2011

LANCE CPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURNMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Service members and civil-ians aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune gath-ered together to remember the horrific massacre of

the Holocaust at the Workforce Learn-ing Center, May 19.

On Oct. 7, 1980, Congress created the “Days of Remembrance” as the nation’s annual commemoration of the mass genocide during World War II.

In the immediate aftermath of the massive death and destruction during WWII, revenge might have satisfied the shock and anger that resided in the hearts of survivors, but many believed that justice under the rule of law, rather than vengeance, would better serve humanity.

This led to this year’s theme “Justice and accountability in the face of geno-cide: What have we learned?”

The Holocaust was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and mur-der of millions of people who did not

meet Adolf Hitler’s description of the “pure” Aryan race.

While the word holocaust gener-ally refers to the mass killing of Jewish people, Hitler also targeted homosexu-als, communists and other political dissidents, including African people, gypsies and the mentally and physi-cally disabled.

In the summer of 1941, the Nazis began the atrocity by killing thousands at a time via firing squads.

Six months later, firing squads became too expensive, prompting the Nazis to look for other options. After a few trial runs the Nazis began using Zyklon B, a cyanide-based insecticide which the Nazis initially tested on Rus-sian prisoners of war.

The large communal shower-type room killed larger amounts of people for less money.

During the time when the Holocaust occurred, U.S. civilians and service members knew little to nothing about what was going on.

When the war ended in 1945, light finally shined upon the reality of what the Nazis did. Since then, the United States vowed to never let such a geno-cide take place again.

The observance held aboard the base focused on personal accountability and standing up for humanity.

“If we don’t learn from our history, we will continue to make the same mis-takes in the future,” said Bill Chastain, the equal opportunity trainer for MCB

Camp Lejeune. Since these events, a new under-

standing of international responsibility for human rights emerged, spurring on a process to create a new legal vehicle that criminalized attempts to destroy any entire group of people.

However, even so, genocides have still occurred in places like Sudan, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Rwanda.

“As humans, it is our responsibil-ity to take action and make sure these kinds of things don’t happen,” said Sharon Jackson, an office automations clerk for the Marine Corps Installa-tions East civilian human resources office and Holocaust observance at-tendee. “We can honor those lost in the Holocaust by not being silent today.”

While accountability is necessary in the aftermath of genocide, early inter-vention is vital to saving lives.

Whether it is prevention, response or accountability, the Holocaust teaches us that inaction can be deadly; actions, even small ones, can make all the difference for those whose lives are at risk.

Active duty, retirees, veterans and civilians all had heightened emotions, and even some tears, while remembering their fallen comrades.

“Our military members are a part of our family,” said Jacksonville Mayor Sammy Phillips. “I’m hon-ored and humbled to be asked to come here. (As a city) we’re doing everything we can do to recognize the importance of those who sacrifice so much.”

After the presentation of colors by the Marine Corps Study Systems Color Guard, the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem sung by Kris Burritt, guest speak-er, Maj. Gen. Carl B. Jens-en, commanding general of Marine Corps Installation East, took his place at the podium.

“On this beautiful, quiet morning on this hallowed ground, I’d like to pay hom-age to our heroes – past, present and future,” he said.

He noted the 33,000 Marines and sailors serving overseas, with more than two thirds in Afghanistan, and the enemy they con-tinue to face.

“(They are) fighting op-pression, intolerance and those who would plunge the world into darkness,” Jensen said. “We shall pre-vail. We shall because we must.”

He went on to explain that while America has been a beacon of hope to the world, its citizens have, at times, made horrible mis-takes, particularly when it came to honoring service men and women returning home from war.

“This can never happen again,” Jensen stated.

Forgetting was their an-swer then, but Americans now see the effects a lack of honor can have on an entire generation.

“The simple fact is that freedom isn’t free,” he said. “Fortunately, Americans are remembering what it takes to keep this coun-try free, but the gratitude and remembrance pays the bill.”

Jensen paused to pay trib-ute to the Gold Star moth-ers and widows and called for a round of applause for them.

Following Jensen’s speech, Matthews called for silence as retired adjutant John Cooney and retired Sgt. Maj. Joseph Houle began what would be the day’s most moving and memorable event – the bell ceremony.

Hundreds of names of service men and women who lost their lives since last year’s ceremony were read, each followed by a ringing of the bell by Junior Vice Cmdr. Rosie Noel.

Each toll hit home. Each name made the grief more

real. Each ring represented a lost life, broken hearts, fami-lies left behind, but above all the sacrifice to protect their country.

Jensen and Senior Vice Cmdr. Grant Beck, along with Gold Star Mothers Patti Desens and Mary Wheat, Gold Start Widow Tammy Bittiker, and Ladies Auxiliary President Paula Lott, somberly laid special wreaths in honor of those who served.

“We who were made to carry on should not think of our comrades as lost, but at only another duty station, where we will meet them again some day,” said Matthews.

Sgt. Maj. Tim Man-chester, with the Marine Corps Combat Service Sup-port Schools firing detail, gave orders for the 21-gun salute.

As they fired, most guests observed in silence, reverencing the significance of the ritual.

However, it was the cry of a small child that most aptly represented the true purpose of the day and the reason so many choose to put on the uniform – to protect the innocence, the sincerity and the heart of America.

“You can’t pay a patriot’s worth,” said Jensen. “Young men and women enlist and reenlist for the love of their country. May God bless and protect this great nation.”
