Marines, Navy come together for at-sea integration exercise CAPT. ROBERT SHUFORD24th Marine Expeditionary Unit

The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit and Amphibious Squadron 8 began their first of a series of at-sea training exercis-es where they will work on refining their ability to conduct amphibious operations to prepare for a deployment scheduled for early next year.

The current exercise is called PHI-BRON / MEU Integration Training, commonly called PMINT. The focus of PMINT is to allow both services to work on building the Navy-Marine Corps team and to refine procedures and practices nec-essary to conduct amphibious operations.

“This is the starting point for our pre-deployment training cycle and represents 24th MEU’s first opportunity to operate at sea as a Marine Air Ground Task Force. Our focus for the next 10 days is on estab-lishing a positive and professional part-nership with the ships and crews of our

Amphibious Ready Group and develop-ing proficiency operating our vehicles and aircraft in, around and on the ARG’s very specialized amphibious ships,” said Col. Frank Donovan, commanding officer, 24th MEU.

PMINT is the first of three combined training exercises the 24th MEU and PHI-BRON 8 will conduct together in the com-ing months. Such at-sea periods allows the Marines to get familiar with operating on ship, and allows the Navy-Marine Corps team to train on ship-to-shore procedures, pilot and vehicle operator qualifications, and provides the overall experience neces-sary to conduct a variety of missions from the amphibious assault ships USS Iwo Jima, USS New York and USS Gunston Hall.

The training will test the Navy-Marine Corps team’s ability to plan and conduct such missions, using various scenarios they could face while deployed. Some of these

KAJAKI SOFLA DISTRICT, AFGHANISTAN

CPL. JAMES CLARKRegimental Combat Team 8

The Marines and sailors of 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regi-ment, 2nd Marine Division (Forward), are engaged in Op-eration Eastern Storm, a major offensive operation to root out the Taliban-led insurgency in the Upper Sangin Valley region of Kajaki.

The battalion is accomplish-ing its mission to secure Route 611 from Sangin to Kajaki by moving companies into desig-nated areas across the district and relying on individual pla-toons and squads to operate independently in heavily veg-etated, rough terrain.

The men of second platoon, Co. B, 1st Battalion, 6th Ma-rines, recently inserted by heli-

copter, under the cover of dark-ness and, at first light, began a five-day march prior to establish-ing Patrol Base Pennsylvania.

“Things have been going pretty slow, but good,” said Lance Cpl. Joshua Kennedy, an M-240 machine gunner. “We don’t want to go fast. It’s been pretty successful where we’re at right now – nobody’s been hurt. We expected it to be way more kinetic, but luckily it hasn’t been too bad so far.”

Carrying all the ammunition, weapons, food, water and other assorted equipment they could fit into their packs, they trav-elled roughly three miles amidst infrequent and abrupt ambush-es and, at times, rounding cor-ners that put them face-to-face with enemy fighters armed with rocket propelled grenades.

“Everyone’s feeling the pain, everyone’s sore,” said Kennedy. “It’s hard to pick up your feet as is, and going through the canal systems and corn fields (with all our gear), it’s bad on your knees and feet. Your knees are taking a sheer beating the whole time, not to include your back.”

Kennedy, who hovers around six feet tall and weighs approxi-mately 180 pounds, carries on his body approximately 120 additional pounds of equip-ment, including rounds for his M-240B medium machine gun, the weapon itself, a slew of oth-er munitions, and a few person-al comforts, such as a sleeping bag and hygiene supplies.

Seeing a column of Ma-rine Corps infantrymen move through a maze of corn fields, more laden with gear than the

most unloved pack animal, one would expect a ceaseless cho-rus of complaints and sighs, but the few moans they make are drowned out by an endless stream of banter and surpris-ingly upbeat humor.

“We pick up morale by jok-ing around,” explained Kenne-dy, who proudly fulfills the role of stand-up comic for his squad. “We all joke around and act like we’re having a good time – laugh at our misery. If you ain’t gonna laugh, (you’re) gonna cry.”

As trivial as humor may seem to the overall success of the mis-sion, it serves as an indicator of the unit’s morale, which, with all they have been through, re-mains high, explained 1st Lt. Danny Graziosi, the second platoon commander.

“The morale is never a ques-

tion. They can accomplish whatever I ask them to do,” said Graziosi. “They just look to the left and right, and that’s all the motivation they need.”

“Kajaki Sofla is now buzzing with citizens who have never seen the Afghan National Se-curity Forces and have known only murder and intimidation for the last several years,” said Brig. Gen, Lewis Craparotta, commanding general, 2nd Marine Division (Fwd.) Task Force Leatherneck. “Villagers are now approaching our co-alition forces and returning to their homes.”

PFC. FRANKLIN E. MERCADO2nd Marine Logistics Group

Marines with Combat Logistics Bat-talion 2, Combat Logistics Regiment 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, participat-ed in a gunner’s course at the 2nd Marine Division Training Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 26 to 29.

The course is a part of pre-deploy-ment training for their upcoming tour in support of International Security As-sistance Forces in Helmand province,

Afghanistan, next year.During the four-day training exercise

Marines with the battalion learned the ins and outs of several machine guns the Marine Corps uses in Afghanistan.

The M-249 squad automatic weapon, .50 caliber machine gun, MK-19 grenade launcher, M-240 golf and M-240 bravo medium machine guns were the weap-ons shown during the class. Not only did they get a chance to learn about them, but they also got hands-on training with each one.

The Marines learned how to assemble

and disassemble weapons, and how to load and fire the weapon during practical application.

“I like the fact that we are getting all the hands-on training,” said Pfc. Eduard Yakobchuk, a motor transportation me-chanic with CLB-2. “It’s a lot better than just reading a book. Actually getting to do the steps and learning them as we go along is great.”

Though they are participating in the course, some of the Marines don’t know if they will have the chance to step in as a gunner, such as Lance Cpl. Paul Dodd,

a field artillery fire control man with 2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, but it isn’t stopping him from ensuring he will be ready for it.

“I don’t really know what to expect since it’s my first time,” Dodd said. “I was told a lot of other Marines are used as gunners on patrols, not just infantry-men, and I want to be ready for whatever I’m told to do.”

No matter what their designated du-ties may be in Afghanistan, these Ma-rines will be ready for the fight in support of their brothers-in-arms.

Cpl. Bryan Hall Landing Support Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group Buffalo, N.Y.

“Absolutely. A few of my Marines are taking classes and in college now. You get

to go to school for free and get at least an associate’s degree before your four or five years are up. You can’t get a job

without a degree these days.”

once you continue on with your career whether it be in the military or the civilian sector, there’s a variety of knowledge

out there. If you keep your mind active and learning, then

you’re only giving yourself better capabilities to think outside the box and gain

knowledge.”

Two of the biggest names in con-sumer protection will soon be visiting Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune — Holly Petraeus and Roy Cooper. They want to hear what you have to say. While the visit is still in the plan-ning stage, expect these two VIPs around Dec. 6.

Cooper is the Attorney General of North Carolina, the senior law enforce-ment officer in the state. His office has worked closely with the armed forces over the years, providing instruction and assistance to judge advocates, to the public, and on occasion, initiating lawsuits against law breaking busi-nesses. David Fox, the attorney gen-eral maintains a full-time liaison for military consumer complaints. He can be reached at 919-716-6000 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Petraeus is the director of the Con-sumer Finance Protection Bureau’s Office of Servicemember Affairs. The CFPB is the new agency created last summer not only to reign in the excesses of Wall Street, but also to protect consumers on Main Street. The Office of Servicemember Af-fairs was created in response to con-cerns of military officials and others that troops are targeted for deceptive, unfair and abusive sales. In January 2011, Mrs. Petreaus, a long-time ad-vocate for military consumers and formerly the director of the Better Business Bureau’s Military Line, was appointed to head this department.

As wife of retired Gen. David Pe-treaus for more than 30 years, Mrs. Petreaus is also more than familiar with life around military towns.

The visit is expected to include a conference with key military of-ficials, as well as a town hall style meeting where troops will have an opportunity to relate their experi-ences, especially, but not exclusive-ly, concerning lending and buying on credit. Have you signed an ap-plication for a loan that requires you to consent to the lender noti-fying your commanding officer if you default? These officials want to know. Have you signed a loan with high interest rates, or which required you to purchase credit life insurance, disability insurance or collateral insurance as a condition of being extended credit? Did the salesman say that you had to buy these services to get the loan and then have you sign a statement say-ing these purchases were voluntary? Do you think you might have been taken advantage of in financing a computer or other consumer elec-tronics? Did the contract require you to sue the lender only in some distant state? Did it say that the law of some other state applies? Do you see unexpected fees on your bank or credit card statement? Have you gone to a car dealership only to find that the financing terms advertised were not available to you, or that

you were charged excessive dealer prep fees? Did the dealer fail to pay off the balance on your trade in, or call you back after you drove off in your new car to tell you that your financing fell through? Have you been harassed by debt collectors? Did you receive a call from someone pretending to be a law enforcement officer, threatening to take action against you unless you paid them? Have you received a foreclosure no-tice or been victim of some foreclo-sure avoidance scam? Did any of these things happen to troops that you supervise? These are just some of the issues our visiting consumer advocates are interested in.

The purpose of the meeting is to educate the public, make liaison with military officials and listen to what people have to say. I encourage you to send me your questionable lending contracts so that my office can also better understand what is going on out there in consumer land. Please black out any sensitive information, such as a social security number, bank ac-count, or credit card numbers. Prefer-ably, scan and send the contracts to me as e-mail attachments to [email protected]. You may, but are not required to, provide further infor-mation in the body of the email and /or contact information for possible follow up by my office. Or simply email me a short description of your consumer issue.

ASHFORD UNIVERSITY® – SERVING THE MINDS OF THOSE WHO SERVE

LANCE CPL. JOSHUA J. HINES2nd Marine Division

They are stealthy – van-ishing into the tree line. They are silent – noiselessly fading into the sounds of the forest. They are preda-tors – laying in wait as their prey approaches. “Open fire!” rings out from the for-est and gunfire shatters the silence as a squad of Ma-rines with 8th Communica-tion Battalion ambush the enemy.

This scene played out repeatedly as Marines with 8th Communication Bat-talion, II Marine Expedi-tionary Force, conducted a 10-day field training opera-tion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 17 through 26.

The Marines’ training began in a classroom where they received instruction on convoy operations, patrol-ling, land navigation and crew-served weapons. They also earned sustainment

hours through lessons in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program and were taught squad-level tactics incorpo-rating both offensive and defensive operations.

“I’ve been through the MCMAP portion of the training and it’s probably the best MCMAP training I’ve ever received,” said Lance Cpl. Mikel Lawhorn, supply fiscal chief, Head-quarters Company, 8th Communication Battal-ion. “It was well organized with plenty of instructors making sure the Marines understood the moves. They even showed us a few things from belt classes above our own in order to help give us an edge in our future training.”

The field training fo-cused on giving the Marines the skills and knowledge that will help them in their future deployments. It also re-taught some of the basics that all Marines learn early on, such as how to work an entry control point and ve-

hicle checkpoint. “I’ve never been de-

ployed,” said Pfc. Yvonne McKinney, warehouse clerk, HQ Co., 8th Comm. Bn. “But, I know when I deploy I’m going to need the skills we’ve learned throughout this training. Especially with things like the entry control point, which is more than likely something I will actually be doing when I deploy.”

The Marines took part in scenarios that put their offensive and defensive tactics to the test as squads were pitted against one an-other. During the scenarios, each squad established a pa-trol base and began sending out patrols in search of the enemy squad. The Marines also built fighting positions to defend against assaults and ambushes.

“The ambushes were intense,” said McKinney. “But, it was a lot of fun.”

Throughout the scenar-ios, the Marines’ training was evaluated through the

use of the Integrated Tar-get Environment Scenario Tool, which acted much like an advanced version of the equipment used in laser tag. The ITEST recorded information such as where the Marines were hit by an enemy’s laser, the Marines’ GPS position and their number of blank rounds fired.

“The Marines have done a remarkable job,” said Lt.

Col. Michael Schweighardt, commanding officer, 8th Comm. Bn. “Especially be-cause many of the Marines haven’t been out to the field training areas much, so for a lot of them, it’s a new experience.”

The final exercise of the training was taking down and packing up the entire communications network and forward operating base the Marines worked

diligently to construct and maintain over their 10 days of training.

“This has been great training,” said Gunnery Sgt. Shannon Childress, company gunnery sergeant, HQ Co., 8th Comm. Bn. “The Marines have been challenged while having fun doing it and they’ll all walk away with skills and knowledge that will help them in the future.”

I visited a widow last week who was completely left in the dark by the re-tiree upon his death. She had no idea of where important papers were, no Survivor’s Benefit Plan or insurance policy was provided and was told by her husband, “The Marine Corps will take care of you.” I see this in 23 per-cent of the casualty assistance calls each year. What a tragedy. I realize the retiree did not get up that morn-ing and just decide they would leave their family destitute and flounder-ing, but that is exactly what happens to many survivors out there. Here is the part that baffles me. As retirees, we have free access to legal, retire-ment to SBP, available insurance and eligibility to file for veteran benefits, but one out of four retirees fails to use this. I encourage all retiree spouses to take an honest and critical look at what would be available if the retiree died today. You cannot afford to wait and find yourself not only grieving for the loss of your loved one, but worry-ing about financial survival. I want to provide you with some ideas.

First, make sure there is a viable and legal will, power of attorney present and in a safe place where you know to get it. Base legal can provide free wills and with minimum effort from the retiree. Call 451-1903 for Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune legal. The next thing you need is a good check-off list, which provides informa-tion of where important documents, funds, assets are located. Call me for

this list at 451-0287. Have the retiree document his or her wishes about the funeral, donor choice, burial prefer-ence, eulogy and so forth. It’s better to know, than to guess. Be aware, that as cruel as it sounds, survivors bear personal responsibility for their fi-nancial support following the death of a retiree. The military service and government will not financially fund surviving family members other than paid government insurance, SBP, or Veteran Affairs Dependent Indemnity Compensation from a service related death. As a surviving spouse, you con-tinue to keep the identification card and the benefits thereof, until you remarry. I encourage you not to wait and do this. People tend to procrasti-nate and death takes them before they make arrangements.

Personally, I made all arrangements eight years ago, by getting a will, POA, donor preference, cemetery plots and provided a check-off list with all as-sets, documents, insurance, benefits listed and locations named. If I leave life today, everything is accessible to my spouse and hopefully this makes it less complicated in a time of grief. I encourage all retirees’ spouses to call the Retired Activity Office, come in get to work and uncomplicated the fu-ture. The longer you wait, the more of a chance you are going to fall into that 23 percent of widows with no insur-ance, SBP, or Veteran Affairs benefits available and struggling to financially survive.

PETTY OFFICER 2ND CLASS MATTHEW SNODGRASSRegional Command Southwest

At a Camp L e a t h e r n e c k firing range, M-4 rifles and squad automat-

ic weapon machine guns break the still afternoon air with the staccato of gunfire. At forward operating and patrol bases across Helmand province, Ma-rines load their weapons and go condition one prior to going on patrol missions.

Although ammunition is a daily essential for many service members’ lives in Helmand province, few service members give a lot of thought as to how their ammo gets to them. Like many behind-the-scenes func-tions of missions, no one really thinks about how it happens as long as it gets done.

At Camp Leatherneck and bases around the province, a coordinated supply system involving several commands keeps ammunition readily available for every Marine in country.

“We supply all (Regional

Command) Southwest coalition units with ammunition,” said Master Sgt. Adam Newsum, the Field Ammunition Sup-ply Point operations chief for 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward). “We make sure the ammunition is properly stored, transported, handled and in-ventoried, and then we get it to the war fighters so they can conduct their missions.”

The RC(SW) staff, 2nd MLG (Fwd.), 2nd Marine Di-vision (Fwd.) and 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Fwd.) all work together to coordinate the movement of a vast amount of ammunition that has to be de-livered efficiently to Marines in order for them to maintain mis-sion readiness. Ammunition supplies must be systematically requested, tallied, and trans-ported with efficiency and ac-curacy. Every shipment must be accounted for down to the last round of ammo – quite a chore considering the numbers.

“We supply anywhere be-tween seven and 12 million rounds of ammunition a month to all the co-alition forces within

Helmand province,” said Staff Sgt. Brian Taylor, the RC(SW) logistics ammunition chief for II Marine Expeditionary Force supply.

“Currently, there are about 250 million rounds of ammo among RC Southwest units. We’ve moved almost $60 mil-lion worth of ammo over the past six months.”

The ammunition goes through a series of transports and inventories as it is deliv-ered from the U.S. to coalition forces in Helmand province.

“We have to track all the am-munition as it’s airlifted from Kuwait to Camp Leatherneck,” said Taylor. “Then we look at who in our inventory list needs ammunition and decide what will be the most efficient way for it to get to their final loca-tions.”

When ammunition arrives from Kuwait, it is processed in through the Field Ammuni-tion Supply Point, right at the flight lines at Camp Bastion,

adjacent to Camp Leatherneck. The ammo is offloaded and stacked according to what it is and where it’s going.

Ammunition deliveries to FOBs are done by supply con-voys or by helicopter. Helo deliveries have to be managed with great attention to detail to ensure the safety of the aircrew.

“We work with the pilots to make sure the cargo weight doesn’t put the aircraft in dan-ger from enemy forces,” ex-plained Newsum.

Once at its destination, ammo is accounted for again, and dispensed by an ordnance chief. When more ammo is needed, the process is com-menced when the ammo chief for the FOBs submits an ammo request through the proper chain of command so the pro-cess can be repeated.

“Ammunition is something most Marines take for granted, without realizing how much effort goes into ensuring they

always have a constant sup-ply,” said Tay-lor.

“We have a unique oppor-tunity to be where you influ-ence operations with every challenge we face and resolve,” added Newsum. “We have dai-ly requirements that constantly force us to be innovative in our mission.”

Of the 41 Marines that Newsum has in his command at the FASP, 22 are reservists and 19 are active duty. One of their common bonds is that they all volunteered to be in Af-ghanistan.

“The Marines I have out here get all the credit for get-ting the job done,” said News-um. “They’re motivated, disci-plined and want to be here. For many, this is their second tour of duty out here or Iraq. We’re all glad to be helping our guys get the missions done.”

Coalition forces depend great-ly on their supplies to give them an edge in theater. For their mis-sions to function, supplies have to be readily available, often with little prior notice and while over-coming unforeseen obstacles, and in Helmand province, am-munition is as vital as water and food for coalition forces.

missions include humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, raids on enemy positions, and non-combatant evacuation operations of U.S. citizens.

During PMINT, 24th MEU will load each of the ships with a variety of vehicles and equipment to familiarize the Marines and sailors with embark operations, as well as conduct numerous flight operations with MV-22 Ospreys, CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters, UH-1 Huey and AH-1 Cobra helicopters and AV-8B Harriers, in an effort to qualify pilots for landing on the ship’s flight decks and maintain their proficiency in this skill.

PMINT also includes the 24th MEU conducting a mock vertical-assault raid and a combined live-fire training range using various artillery and aircraft on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

“Our goal for PMINT is to execute a safe and effective training plan that lays the foundation for the rest of our pre-deployment training cycle and deployment. Our hard work during PMINT will leave the 24th MEU well prepared to take on more complex tasks the next time we sail as an ARG/MEU team and face our first set of evaluated missions. Each of our at-sea periods are designed to challenge our Marines and sailors and forge a highly-effective Navy-Marine Corps team,” said Donovan.

The next training exercise is scheduled to start at the end of November.

CPL. MARCO MANCHA2nd Marine Division (Forward)

“Up to this point, it’s been a phenomenal success, and I think it exceeded all of our ex-pectations,” said Lt. Col. George Benson, battalion commander, 1st Battalion, 6th Ma-rine Regiment, 2nd Ma-rine Division (Forward) about his unit’s ongoing participation in Opera-tion Eastern Storm.

Eastern Storm is a ma-jor offensive operation to root out the Taliban-led insurgency in the Up-per Sangin Valley region of Kajaki. Company B, 1st Battalion, 6th Ma-rines, has demonstrated its continuing success throughout the operation by establishing Observa-tion Post Maryland.

The area in and around OP Maryland was once riddled with insurgents, but after only a few days of close combat, the Marines and Afghan National Army soldiers have pushed through and crushed the enemy’s hold in the vicinity. Lance Cpl. Robert Henry IV, is an M-249 squad automatic weapon gunner with the company and admitted it wasn’t easy.

Henry explained their packs were loaded down with ammunition, equip-ment and everything they needed to survive for sev-eral weeks – he estimated his pack weighed more than 100 pounds with hundreds of rounds of ammunition and the ex-tra machine gun barrel he carries.

Luckily for Henry and the rest of the Company B Marines, heavy packs haven’t slowed their prog-ress since their insertion

into Kajaki. In fact, the Marines were prepared for heavy resistance, but have easily overcome insurgent forces in the area.

“The local (residents), when we first got here, completely abandoned the town, so we were ex-pecting one hell of a fire-fight,” said Henry. “But for those first three days, it was kind of quiet, so we took our time. We were slowly and method-ically clearing every sin-gle room of every single building in this town.”

The Marines have since maintained control of OP Maryland, and the surrounding area is already showing signs of local residents returning to their homes. Children now play in the corn-fields, and families tend to their crops, no longer threatened by insurgent forces.

First Sgt. Mohammad Raza with the Afghan National Army said he believes it is because the people in the area feel at ease knowing they are being protected by the Marines and ANA.

“The residents of the area are very happy hav-ing ANA and Marines present,” said Raza, who’s been fighting the enemy for more than five years. “They are now able to come back to the town and live their nor-mal lives.”

Both the ANA and Marines are working to ensure the newfound peaceful atmosphere continues for as long as possible.

They’ve been on more than 35 foot patrols since arriving to OP Mary-land and patrol regularly throughout the day.

One Marine with the unit, Cpl. Baldwin Casi-

miro said he sees a differ-ence on patrols everyday.

“To us, seeing the kids play around just like you would see anywhere in the United States tells us they’re having a good time and are able to have a freedom of movement,” said the machine gunner. “It’s just really good to see a lot of positive ac-tivity and watching the people do whatever it is they want to do without fear.”

The kind of success Company B is having in Operation Eastern Storm is only a piece of the big-ger puzzle for 1st Battal-ion, 6th Marines. Benson said he is very proud of the effort his Marines and sailors are putting forth and hopes the suc-cess will continue.

CPL. TIMOTHY SOLANORegional Command Southwest

A faded and torn desert Marine pattern blouse lies atop a pile of others like it, awaiting an imminent de-mise faced by many before it. Though now tattered and beaten by the sun and Afghan heat, the blouse is familiar to this warehouse, as just a few months before it was freshly folded and stacked in a crate with all the other size medium reg-ular’s awaiting issue.

The seemingly simple process of exchanging new for old may appear easy

enough from the outside looking in, but for the Ma-rines of the Task Force Bel-leau Wood supply office, the sorting, distribution and issuance of every piece of coalition gear in the unit is a full time job.

“It’s our job to handle anything from (administra-tive) supplies to vehicle re-pair parts to (consolidated issue facility) gear and uni-form items,” said Cpl. Joel Lewis, the due and status file noncommissioned offi-cer for the supply office. “By the time we get the previous load sorted out and issued, we have another one com-ing in on a truck.”

With such a large vol-ume of gear, vehicles and miscellaneous items needed to make the headquarters element function, the Task Force Belleau Wood supply account accrues a net value that is in excess of $200 mil-lion at any given time.

This price tag includes every meticulous item in-cluding computer paper, camera gear, windshield wipers and personal protec-tive equipment for the indi-vidual service member.

Even the most obscure items are in constant de-mand and orders must be met in order to match it. In neatly stacked crates

and boxes, these items wait until needed to fulfill their purpose.

“If I told you we ordered 500 bags of dog food you would think that’s crazy, right?” said Lewis. “But once you actually found out how many dogs there are out here and how much food they go through in a week you would realize it is a valid request.”

In order to manage the largest supply account in Helmand province, it takes an entire team to effectively supervise the costly logisti-cal assets of the task force. Billets are assumed by each Marine so that the office can cover every facet of the supply mission.

“If we aren’t all on the same page, then things aren’t going to flow right and stuff can get messed up pretty easily,” said Cpl. Christopher Chapman, the supply office adminis-tration chief. “Everyone has to work with one an-other so that the place runs smoothly.”

As the shipments contin-ue to roll in approximately three or four times per week, every Marine works

seamlessly together in order to accommodate every unit in the command, regardless of which branch of service they are supporting.

For supply Marines like Cpl. Paul LaCroix, the shop’s theater provided equipment noncommis-sioned officer, working to support another branch of service is the sole purpose of his duty in Afghanistan. As the TPE NCO, LaCroix’s position exists exclusively in a deployed environment to provide fingerprinting,

imaging, security and sur-veillance equipment to the Army.

With everyone in the shop working to support the unique challenges and logistical obstacles that a deployed supply element faces, the common goal of sustaining every operation-al unit within the task force motivates some to execute their duties with pride.

“Anything we can do to support our guys – that’s what we are here for,” said Lewis.

There is a battle of sorts being won in southern Helmand province. The Marines and sailors at Forward Operating Base Delaram II, and specifically the Shock Trauma Platoon there, take pride in build-

ing trust and relationships with the locals.The STP is comprised of enlisted and

commissioned sailors ranging from corps-men and private practice family doctors to nurses and surgeons. As part of Bravo Surgical Company, Marine Air-Ground Task Force Support Battalion 11.2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), it

is the primary duty of the medical personnel based here to support the Marines with Regimental Combat Team 8.

However, since the area surrounding the FOB is relatively peaceful, those working at the STP are af-forded a unique opportuni-ty, a fact for which they are very thankful. While the sis-ter STP at FOB Edinburgh treats mainly battle-injured service members, the pa-tients of Delaram’s STP are predominately Afghan National Army soldiers, Af-ghan Uniformed Policemen and locals, including mul-tiple children.

Positive, growing re-lationships have resulted with locals due to the level and caliber of care the STP continuously provides. They treat injuries ranging from cuts and scrapes to gunshot wounds and inju-ries from improvised explo-sive devices.

“I think that the military here has shown a very good presence and I believe that the local nationals here like us more than they hate us. So we don’t get to see some of the bad stuff happening that there is in the other areas of the country. We are more into winning the hearts and minds of the local nationals,” he added.

When asked, several of the corpsmen who work with LaPanne agreed when he said that their job at the STP is both rewarding and fulfilling.

“We get to help people get medical care and not always just because of the war,” LaPanne concluded.

Running 345 miles is a short distance com-pared to the journey some wounded warriors have to travel.

Gunnery Sgt. James J. Dacey, company gun-nery sergeant for Support Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, began his challenge aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, to National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Md., Oct. 22.

Dacey is conducting the run to raise aware-ness about our nation’s wounded warriors and for the service members who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

Whether people thought Dacey was crazy or thought it was a great idea, there was no doubt he would take on the challenge, said Debbie Melamed, Dacey’s moth-er and safety driver for the run.

“I’m very proud of my son,” Melamed said. “I’m not surprised he’s doing it. He has never second guessed himself either. Once he said he was going to do it, that was it. He’s always been a determined

person ever since I can re-member.”

Melamed was given three weeks of leave from her job at a law firm in Hackensack, N.J., to help her son along his run.

“I was amazed he asked me to be the one to help him,” she said. “This is a huge responsibility, and I’m very proud of him for what he’s doing in honor of his fellow troops.”

As her son runs his course, Melamed will drive ahead and check the route for him. She will then wait at the halfway point each day for Dacey and ensure all is well. If Dacey isn’t at the desti-nation within a certain amount of time, his moth-er will back track and check on him. If needed, they will stop the run and take proper precaution to keep Dacey safe from in-jury.

“We’ve taken the right steps to make sure we are ready for the run,” Dacey said. “Safety was a big concern.”

With his mother ready to go and on her way to the halfway point for the day, Dacey was off. He bid farewell to all in at-tendance.

“Thank you to every-one who came to watch me begin,” he said. “Thank you for all the support.”

As Dacey ran down the road, those in attendance sent him off with a moti-vational “Oorah.”

(Right) The USS North Carolina served as the fi nish line for the bike portion of the triathlon, as well as the starting and fi nishing points of the marathon portion.

JESSIE HEATHSports editor

Bike helmets and wetsuits might not be the average Halloween costume, but they were all the rage Saturday morning as participants in the Beach 2 Battleship Triathlon suited up for a full day of swimming, riding and running against the elements.

The Beach 2 Battleship Triathlon, in its fourth year in Wilmington, N.C., welcomed more than 1,500 participants for its full and half triathlon last Saturday. Participants in both versions of the triathlon took part in an early-morning swim, a lengthy bike ride and a run through chilly temperatures.

At 7 a.m., as participants prepared to jump into icy waters at Wrightsville Beach, supporters and volunteers waited with blankets, gloves and hats, ready to cheer on the athletes who were braving the less-than-desirable weather to participate in the run.

“The weather was certainly less than ideal,” said Col. John Shafer, commanding officer, 6th Marine Regiment aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. “It made everything a little harder and certainly made everything a little more interesting.”

Shafer participated in the half-iron distance triathlon. With a running background and more than 50 half-iron competitions under his belt, Shafer notes the Beach 2 Battleship Triathlon as the second hardest triathlon he has taken part in.

An unexpected drop in temperature and early morning rain affected the performance of Shafer and other athletes who struggled against the hand Mother Nature had dealt them.

“The single hardest thing I had to do all day was get off the bike,” said Shafer. “You jump in the water with your wetsuit on and you stay warm because of the body heat you produce. Then, when you have to peel off the suit and jump on a bike while wet, the wind really picks up. Your nose goes numb and your toes go numb and you just can barely make it off the bike.”

Shafer, who finished the 1.2-mile half-iron swim in 29 minutes, 11 seconds and the bike race in just more than three hours, did not sign up for the triathlon with anything to prove. The decision to participate was made by a desire to support his brother-in-law, who he has competed with before.

SGT. JUSTIN SHEMANSKI2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

Are you tough enough? That was the proverbial

question posed when the masterminds of the 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward) sat down to design a test of endurance, fitness and strength, which manifested itself in the form of an Iron Man Competition aboard Camp Leatherneck in Helmand province, Oct. 22.

Open to all ranks and all services, the contest featured six events. The morning began with each participant completing a 10K run before circulating through five other events, which included pull-ups, shot put, abdominal crunches, bench press and a 400-meter dash.

The fastest or strongest male and female participants in each event were named winners.

Dozens of troops from across Regional Command Southwest participated in the event, but the Marines

took the challenge to heart. “You get together so you

can compete,” said Sgt. Maj. William T. Stables

of the 2nd MLG (Fwd.). “More importantly, you get to see the caliber of the Marines in the Corps.”

Haunted kayaking spooks,fl usters brave participantsPFC. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERAMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

A ghostly figure walked up the stone road, her ab-normally pale face flushed a deep mauve as red streaks dripped from her nose.

Despite her appear-ance, this ghoulish woman wore a life jacket over tattered clothes and carried a clipboard. She walked up to the group of people gathered in the parking lot and crossed off names on her list as she surveyed the future victims of an upcoming bone-chilling experience.

Beneath the makeup was Gabrielle Higgins, a recre-ation assistant with Marine Corps Community Services Outdoor Adventures, who, along with other staff members, organized the haunted kayaking event.

It was during the fall kayaking tours, a series of scenic kayaking trips hosted by Marine Corps Com-munity Services Outdoor Adventures and far re-moved from the frights of Halloween, that she came up with the idea. Higgins and Marybeth LeMaire, a recreation specialist with Outdoor Adventures, posed the question, “How creepy would this be at night?” And with the Halloween holiday drawing closer, they began to take action.

Higgins researched ghost stories, pulling from a rich collection of haunts.

With some selected stories, she and LeMaire gathered materials, spooky sounds and props and be-gan mapping their course.

After several rehears-als and a full roster with a waiting list, they were ready to debut haunted kayaking.

The participants of haunted kayaking gathered

around in the parking lot and joked prior to the be-ginning of what would be a night of frights.

“What if they’re using SEALS in training?” one participant asked with a chuckle. Soon, the light conversations slowly took on a more serious and som-ber tone as they discussed what they feared.

“What if somebody comes out of the water?” a participant asked, as an image of a dripping figure slowly rising from the water seemed to materialize in the back of minds as they looked toward the dark water.

“No, I got a guarantee no one would be coming out of the water,” assured another participant, who had discussed the event with the staff when she bought her ticket.

Higgins made an an-nouncement, her voice serious, looking as if she was drained of life and emotion. She asked the participants to follow her

down to the kayaks. Haunted kayaking had

begun. An interactive ghost

story adventure meant for beginner and experienced kayakers, haunted kayaking took participants up and down the creek.

As participants paddled through the dark water with no idea of what might lie just below the surface, the sky darkened and the kayakers began to hear strange noises as pieces of the story were told while they navigated the trail seeing strange lights and mysterious things in the darkness.

“Haunted kayaking is a fun experience to get out there in the water and try kayaking if you haven’t tried it before and get scared along the way,” said Higgins. “It’s a pre-Hallow-een adventure to go on to get a little frightened, and hang out with and meet some people you didn’t know before.”

“It’s for people who are

easily scared and for people who laugh in the face of scary things,” continued Higgins. “It’s for every-body.”

While it is still in the early stages of its develop-ment, participants can still find fear and adventure in the thrill of a haunted kayaking tour.

There are plans to make it an annual event, using different ghost stories and adding new stunts and props so that participants can have different experi-ences each year.

“You get to see the creek a bit and the wildlife,” said Elene Heltebran, a partici-pant of the event. “It’s fun and it’s worth it.”

When haunted kayakers see a figure slinking by in the trees, or are startled by a rock skipping across the creek without witnessing anybody toss it, they would be wise to not dismiss it so quickly.

After all, nobody can be sure of what might be lurk-ing in the shadows.

Marine Corps Community Services offi cials hope haunted kayaking can become an annual Halloween event and its creators plan to change the stories from year to year to keep them interesting.

SGT. BRYAN A. PETERSONMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Before the National Football League season began, Minnesota Vikings running back and the NFL’s current rushing leader, Adrian Peterson, re-signed with the Vikings for seven years – a contract worth more than $100 million.

Sunday, during the Minnesota Vikings vs. Carolina Panthers NFL Military Appreciation Day game at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., more than 50 service members swore to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States in front of more than 70,000 screaming fans.

However, their contracts, which signed them up for at least another four years of service, was not for the money or benefits. They did it for service to their country.

Service members travelled to the football game from various installations across North and South Carolina. Five Marines from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune attended the ceremony to show fans that there are those who are still committed to preserving freedom - the freedom that allows players like Adrian Peterson to entertain fans and the freedom that enables fans to enjoy such a spectacle.

For the third year in a row, the USO of North Carolina partnered with the Carolina Panthers

organization to recognize service members’ efforts in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.

John Falkenbury, the USO of North Carolina president, said conducting an oath of enlistment in front of thousands of die-hard football fans is a great way to connect the community and the military.

“The goal was to have a visible reminder of troops from the Carolinas presented to the more than (70,000) fans,” Falkenbury said. “Collectively, we decided that highlighting the commitment troops make by reenlisting for service and the oath they take is a simple, yet poignant way to drive home the selfless service our troops make here and abroad. Through partnership with the various military organizations, we were able to have a wide range of participation from across the Carolinas and North Carolina service members who are currently serving in Afghanistan.”

Once the players from both teams left the field after their warm-ups, the service members were called into formation. With razor-sharp precision, they stepped in unison to midfield. They about faced and rose their right arms. As a silent crowd looked on, service members on the field spoke the oath of enlistment together with a group of soldiers in Afghanistan, broadcast live via a satellite feed and displayed on the stadium’s jumbotrons. Shortly after, a

jet flew above the stadium to cap off the pre-game festivities. Various chants of “Ooh-Rah,” and “Hooah” could be heard as the troops walked off the field.

“It was amazing watching these brave young men and women sign up for another four years,” said Marlene Young, a Panthers fan who attended the game. “I have no connection to the military whatsoever, so it’s hard for me to imagine what these troops go through. Also, to see the troops on the big screen gave me the chills and knowing that they are currently in harm’s way, lets me know we have the best and brightest out there. They truly deserve this and much more. I love them.”

Cpl. John B. Wagley, a reports noncommissioned officer in the Disbursing office, Headquarters and Support Battalion aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, said this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity he will never forget.

“Seriously, how many Marines can walk on NFL football field, look sharp and have thousands of screaming fans praise you?” asked Wagley, who attended his first NFL game with his wife and daughter. “It gave me a lot of pride to stand out there. It also meant a lot to have my wife and daughter watch me reenlist.”

Sgt. Jeremy Parrott, a travel auditor at the Disbursing Office, shared Wagley’s emotions about the day.

“This was truly a

motivating experience for me,” said Parrott, an avid NFL fan. “Obviously, we don’t do it for the money or the fame, but to get recognized is truly an awesome experience.”

Gunnery Sgt. Laura A. Bigley, the career planner for Headquarters and

Support Battalion aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, coordinated MCB Camp Lejeune’s participation in the game’s festivities. She said that once she received the phone call, she didn’t hesitate to share the good news with the Marines who were approved to reenlist.

“Right now, there aren’t a lot of incentives for first-term Marines to reenlist,” said Bigley. “But, they don’t reenlist for the incentives. They do it because they want to keep serving their country. NFL games are ideal for things like this and they looked sharp today.”

Camp Lejeune Marines take oath of enlistment during Panthers NFL game

PetersonFive Marines from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, along with more than 50 service members across North Carolina, South Carolina and a group of soldiers in Afghanistan broadcast live through a satellite feed, reenlist at the Minnesota Vikings vs. Carolina Panthers National Football League Military Appreciation Day game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., Sunday.

Without the strain of trying to come in first place, Shafer said he took his time and paced himself at the transition areas between the swim and the bike race, and the bike race and the run.

Clocking a total race time of five hours and 36 minutes and an overall place of 162 out of 544

participants in the half-iron distance triathlon, Shafer said he was at least an hour slower than his best run time.

“I just didn’t have the time to commit to training for this triathlon like I have trained for those in the past,” said Shafer of the Beach 2 Battleship Triathlon. “There is so much

happening at work and keeping up with everything at work did not allow me to commit to really competing like I normally would in a race.”

His training was tested as the long-day of racing wore on. After an extremely early start to the day, cold water and chilly temperatures,

Shafer felt the strain of the half-iron distance triathlon.

“The last leg of the day got increasingly difficult,” said Shafer. “We appreciated everybody who came out to cheer us on, but it was so cold that there were very few people out to keep us going. At about mile 10 of the run,

it started to get really challenging.”

The finish line was what drove Shafer through the challenging three-tiered race and gave him the ability to push to the end.

“I love endurance exercises,” said Shafer. “It feels great to finish. Those few seconds of euphoria as you cross the

finish line – that’s all I need.”

Despite the challenge, Shafer and the rest of the athletes in the triathlon pushed through all three legs of the race to the end, where warming tents, food and massages awaited them, along with a T-shirt that summed up the events of the day, reading “FINISHER.”

CPL. DAMANY S. COLEMANMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

After a day of cuts, scrapes, laughs and motivation, Company B Marines won bragging rights and added another point in the win column for their company after the Headquarters and Support Battalion Commander’s Cup Challenge field meet at Liversedge Field aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 26.

The Marines and sailors participated in a number of competitive events, including M16A4 assembly and disassembly, the Dizzy Izzy, sandbag and fireman carry relays, as well as tug-o-war and a series of super squad events.

“Every month, we have an athletic event, which is part of the Commander’s Cup Challenge,” said Lt. Col. David G. Bardorf, the battalion’s commanding officer. “The intent is to foster team spirit and unity among the battalion. We’ve got such a huge battalion – 1,500 Marines, spread all over Camp Lejeune, Camp Geiger and even Fort Bragg. It’s very easy for each section and department to be off in their own world doing their own thing.”

Bardorf added that events like the recent field meet are meant to bring all the Marines together in the battalion through competitive spirit and camaraderie, to create a tight-knit unit.

Pfc. Isaiah Parker said the field meet was motivating and was a good experience. As a new Marine to the Fleet, Parker said it was fun to get together with

his whole office, come together as a team and “do something.”

“It was pretty fun to have a break from all the work that we do. I enjoyed myself,” said Parker.

Bardorf said that he hoped troops left the field meet and other unit events understanding the importance and necessity of teamwork.

“There is nothing individual about a Marine,” said Bardorf. “A Marine needs that other Marine on his left and right and all the events at the field meet were team events.”

“Competition builds unity and that unity solidifies the battalion,” continued Bardorf. “It not only shows them they have to rely on their partners, but they have to trust them as well.”

Cpl. Brittany Carmon said she was a little skeptical about participating in the field meet at first.

“I didn’t know how many people would show up, but we ended up having a good turnout,” said Carmon. “It was fun in the end. The people who didn’t show up missed out on a good time and a lot of laughs. They also missed getting to dunk someone in the dunk tank, which I found quite hilarious.”

At the conclusion of the event, Bardorf volunteered to be first in the dunk tank. Troops within the battalion took full advantage of dunking the “CO,” saving the money the dunk tank raised to put toward the battalion’s ball later this month.

The next battalion event, a flag football tournament, is slated for the end of November.

JESSIE HEATHSports editor

Between preparing for the SATs, applying to the Merchant Marine Acad-emy, being number two in her class and keeping up with all her school and homework, Krissy O’Brien doesn’t have much time to do anything for herself. During the free time she does have, O’Brien doesn’t sit at home and lounge around in front of the TV, but rather dons her tennis skirt and sneakers and hits the tennis courts.

An avid athlete, O’Brien has been playing tennis since her freshman year at Lejeune High School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. She also plays soccer and was a member of the women’s basketball team last year.

“I picked up a racket for the first time my freshman year,” said O’Brien, who is very humble about her athleticism. “I didn’t know I would like it so much. I had one day of practice before my first game. After that, I was hooked.”

As a junior, O’Brien be-came conference champion and was given the oppor-tunity to travel to the state championship games. As a senior looking to repeat her successful streak, O’Brien came out of her confer-ence play as the conference champion and again moved on to the state champion-ship games.

“When I had my first match, I didn’t know any-thing except to return the ball,” said O’Brien. “But, as I discovered how much I like tennis, I started to stay later and learn more and work harder. As the season went on, I got better at it.”

After discovering her pas-

sion for the sport, O’Brien started to actively pursue the game. She began to stay after practice hours were over and work by herself. At home, she began to watch the tennis channel and teach herself by learning tricks of the trade from professionals by watching their matches.

Her parents made her a promise that if she con-tinued to pursue the sport and made her way to the regional championship games, they would get her private tennis lessons.

Through the help of LHS basketball coach Doug Erny, O’Brien’s father, an active-duty Marine, worked to find a suitable private les-son coach for his daughter.

“When I started work-ing with Jim Sheehan at the end of my sophomore year, it really made a difference. I made it to state champi-onships last year under his lessons and my coach.”

O’Brien, who suffered a back injury during region-als earlier this fall, pushed through her pain during last week’s state championships, knowing that she wasn’t go-ing to be able to perform the way she wanted.

“It bothers me that I couldn’t play to my fullest,” said O’Brien. “I knew it would hurt, but I also knew I was going to finish my season well. So, that’s what I did. I could compete with the girl I played at states, but not with my back limiting me. I wish I could have a do-over.”

“I keep reminding her that there are just some limitations you can’t over-come without time,” said O’Brien’s father. “As a par-ent, it’s tough to watch your kid be limited physically, es-pecially when you know she wants to succeed. But, I’m proud of her regardless.”

As captain of the LHS tennis team, O’Brien refuses to let injury or anything else get in the way of doing what she wants. She makes sure to attend all her prac-tices and gives everything she has when she’s on the court.

When it comes to sup-porting her teammates, O’Brien tries to be motiva-tional and does her best to get along with everyone on her team.

“I’m stern when I talk, but I’m not a jerk about what I have to say,” said O’Brien. “I listen to them and they listen to me.”

O’Brien also leads her team by example. She stays after practice to work on her personal skills, sometimes staying more than two hours later than everybody else on her team.

Her Saturday and Sun-day mornings are full of tennis lessons with Sheehan and she ensures that home-work gets done between everything else.

“Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and Krissy’s light is still on at one or two,” said O’Brien’s father. “I go in and ask what she’s doing and she’s work-ing on homework.”

O’Brien nods her head as her father talks, laughing as he mentions that she is stuck in a vicious cycle of homework and tennis.

“I do stay up late to fin-ish,” she admits. “But, that’s part of the deal. I have to finish everything. It’s not an option. I can procrastinate and there are days when I’m really tired, but I somehow manage to get it all done.”

Despite her busy sched-ule, O’Brien tries not to let anything slide. When she knows that she has early morning practices during the weekend, she ensures

that she is ready and rested for them.

“If there’s anything I sacrifice, it’s time spent with friends,” said the LHS se-nior. “If I know I have ten-nis, I’ll just be honest with them and tell them I can’t sleep over or stay out too late, even though I might want to. When you want to be good at something, you’ve got to be willing to work. I’m only as good as I am because I’ve been will-ing to sacrifice.”

Unlike many athletes her age, O’Brien isn’t sacrificing anything in the hopes of finding a scholarship to play tennis in college. In fact, the school she hopes to at-tend, the Merchant Marine Academy, doesn’t even have a tennis team. O’Brien said her parents have never pressured her to pursue a scholarship.

“It hasn’t even been a discussion in our house,” said O’Brien. “I’ve never been pressured. They don’t have expectations of me do-ing anything like that.”

O’Brien’s father echoes his daughter’s statement about scholarships. “As a parent, you want to give your child the best you can. You sacrifice time for your kids. But, you’ll never hear us tell her she has to do something. She plays because she wants to. She works hard because she wants to, not because we make her.”

While she didn’t win the state championship title due to her back injury, O’Brien plans to continue playing and working to improve her game on the court.

“(Doug Erny) allows me to use the courts during the summer and I’ll be out here. There is and will always be room for improvement,” said O’Brien.

“I don’t do this for anybody but myself,” continued O’Brien. “I do it because I like it. At the end of the day, it’s just me.

I like that tennis gives me something I don’t have to rely on anyone else for. That’s why I love and play this sport.”

CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

In 1953, country legend Hank Williams released the song “Kaw-liga” detailing the life of a wooden Native American statue that fell in love with a maiden statue. The theme of the song was that, being made of wood, he could not profess his love for the maiden, who was eventually bought and taken away without knowledge of Kaw-liga’s affections.

The very premise of the song is much akin to a yearly initiative taken throughout the nation to combat the practice of and raise awareness about do-mestic violence. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune followed suit when, during the first two weeks of October, multiple wooden figures stood in various locations aboard the base to help in the effort of stamping out domestic violence.

While these silhouettes may seem similar to Kaw-liga in terms of substance, what sets them apart is how their inten-tions and message do not go unnoticed.

“What these wooden figures represent are men, women and children affected by incidents of domestic violence,” said Joele Phillips, education and intervention specialist with the Family Advocacy Program. “When their bright red appearances catch the eye of passers-by, it helps spread the message that domestic violence is real not just something you may rarely hear about.”

The Silent Witness National Initiative, working within the Domestic Violence Awareness month timeframe, began in 1990 in response to the growing number of domestic violence deaths

in Minnesota. Twenty-six life-sized, red wooden cutouts were created in commemo-ration of the 26 domestic violence homicide victims in the state, bearing the names and stories of each of the individuals on accompanying plaques. A 27th figure was made to represent the remaining deaths not credited to domestic violence incidents.

One year later, 800 silent witnesses stood throughout the country with North Caro-lina utilizing more than 60 to spread awareness. Aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, silent witness figures stood in John A. Lejeune Hall, the Marine Corps Exchange, Marston Pavilion and other locations throughout the installation.

“We borrow these silhouettes from Fort Bragg and utilize them for the first two weeks of October – the latter half of the month they go over to (Ma-

rine Corps Air Station) New River,” said Melissa Davis, a clinical social worker with the FAP. “However, our job here at the Com-munity Counseling Center doesn’t stop at raising awareness. Not

only are these red figures opening the eyes of many, but hopeful-ly making a few people come forward with their own stories.”

For fiscal year 2011, the CCC handled 213 domestic abuse cases alongside 148 child abuse cases aboard the base. That is 361 incidents involving service members where a verbal or physical assault was carried out, sometimes with traumatizing or detrimental consequences.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and mem-bers of the Keystone Club, Torch Club and Smart Girls Club, attended the Youth Leadership Lun-cheon to discuss all the good things done toward saving energy aboard the base and to award win-ners of a recent energy awareness poster contest at the Paradise Point Of-ficers’ Club, aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, Oct. 21.

“(Judging the poster contest) was very diffi-cult,” said Col. Daniel J. Lecce, commanding offi-cer of MCB Camp Leje-une, while addressing the youth. “We spent a lot of time looking over the

posters because there was so much great work done on them. What you did here was fantastic. A lot of what you wrote was re-ally smart and wise about recycling and saving ener-gy. It was impressive. Ev-erything you’re all doing in the Keystone, Torch and Smart Girls Club are tremendous.”

Navy Capt. Craig Ful-ton, director of Installa-tions and Environment, Marine Corps Installa-tions - East, quizzed the students with questions such as, “What month is it and what are we cele-brating?,” “Why is saving energy important?” and “How do we produce our energy?”

“Right now, we get most of our energy from burning oil,” said Fulton. “We have to pump oil out

of the ground or we have to burn coal. We’re run-ning out of this and natu-ral gas. We’re discovering new deposits for them, but eventually, we’re go-ing to run out.”

Fulton added that the children are going to be around on the planet long enough to solve the energy issues facing the world.

“When the oil and nat-ural gases are gone, how are we going to drive our cars or heat up our hous-es?” Fulton asked. “How many of you plan on be-ing a scientist? You all are going to have to think up new ways to make elec-tricity and new ways to drive our cars. Any of you want to be a writer? You all are going to have to explain to the rest of the world why you need to save energy. Who’s going

to be an artist? We need you to think of creative ways to convince people to save energy.”

Fulton let the children know that they were all a big part of what is going to change the world and lead the effort to save energy.

“You all know what to do,” said Fulton. “You just need to get your family and friends to do it. When you grow up, you need to be-come leaders in the move-ment and think of new scientific ways to produce electricity or write books and articles or design some innovative way to convince people to walk staircases instead of the escalators or ride bikes instead of drive. It’s up to you all to be the leaders of tomorrow and save the planet and keep our way of life as it is now or improve it.”

The University Of North Caro-lina-Wilmington Onslow extension site brought education opportuni-ties front and center for troops, their families and potential area students at the UNCW Onslow extension site’s first open house at the John A. Lejeune Education Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and later at the Coastal Carolina Community College, Oct. 27.

Ashley Adamovage, program manager with UNCW, said the open house is where local residents, as well as service members and their families, can come learn about all the programs that UNCW offers in Onslow County.

“They can also sit down and speak with an adviser, apply, and even get accepted in the very same day, as long as they have their of-ficial transcripts, their application

and their essay,” said Adamovage.Adamovage added that attendees

learned about courses, and degrees in criminology, business adminis-tration, social work, liberal studies and elementary education.

They were also given information on scholarships, tuition assistance, financial aid and veterans services.

“Students can receive their degree without leaving Onslow County for less than $12,000,” said Adamovage. “It’s a pretty good op-portunity. We’re extremely military friendly, we accept the G.I. bill for all programs within the G.I. bill, TA, financial aid, grants, scholar-ships and we also have a few loan options too.”

Lindsay Davis, military enroll-ment services coordinator, said the best thing about the open house was that virtually all the resources one would need were made available in one location.

“We have different academic

advisers, but usually their offices are over at Coastal Carolina Com-munity College,” said Davis. “We brought them on base today be-cause it provides a better timeframe for Marines, most (of whom) came during chow.”

Davis added that all the feedback has been positive about the open house and troops took advantage of having a “one stop shop” for their educational desires.

“Not only did we have the aca-demic adviser here today, but we had admissions personnel here as well,” said Davis. “They can get admission decisions, they can talk about their application and they can take advantage of having the aca-demic adviser here. Everything is all at one location. They didn’t even have to make any phone calls (be-fore they came).”

CPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURNMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Due to construction at the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, a permanent shuttle service has been put into place, in addition to the al-ready running American Red Cross volunteer shuttles, to assist patients to and from their car and the building.

The two five-passenger shuttles are now constantly touring the expanding parking lots of the naval hospital during normal working hours.

“Being a knee patient for about a year my-self, I would come in for my own appoint-ments, look for a parking spot and when I finally found one, it was way out there,” said Lt. Carmen Rowe, head of operating manage-ment, NHCL. “While I am staff, when I come for an appointment in patient capacity, I park in patient parking and by the time I made it to my appointment, I was so frustrated that I started thinking, ‘If I’m feeling this way, how are my patients feeling?’”

Since the debut of the shuttle service in July, more than 40,000 patients have been transport-ed to and from the naval hospital doors, mak-ing regular appointments less of a hassle.

“The biggest thing is to get the patients from the parking lot to the building,” said Luis Min-guela, lead shuttle driver. “We want to make it as easy as possible for the patients that have a hard time getting here – the older folks that can barely walk, the young service members that have been hurt overseas, parents who have a few kids and even patients who are just run-ning a little late.”

Even after the construction is finished, the shuttle service will continue.

“Our goal is actually to expand the program,” said Rowe. “After the wings on the building are finished, parking will expand as well, creating even more of an inconvenience.”

Patients who need transportation from their vehicle to the lobby can call the naval hospital quarterdeck at 451-3079 or 450-4652 to have a shuttle meet them at their car.

“By the end of the day, what is really im-portant is whether the customer or patient is completely satisfied with their visit,” Minguela said.

PFC. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

For four years, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has had a free after-school program where teens could meet other teens, have fun while staying out of trouble and focus on their education.

The program is called Teen Squad, a Marine Corps Commu-nity Service Special Activities, Marine and Family Programs Division program for teenagers 12 through 18, who are at least in the seventh grade.

“The program offers a safe, fun, educational experience for teenagers,” said Rebecca Wright, a child, youth and teen program assistant for the Teen Squad.

The educational factor of Teen Squad includes homework help during “Power Hour,” the first hour of the program. Teens are not able to participate in any other activities until their home-work is complete. Staff mem-bers communicate with parents and schools to gauge students’ needs, and students who do well earn a place on “Ced’s List,” which is the assistant director of the programs version of a Dean’s List. The program has resources for the students’ use, including school supplies, com-puter access, dictionaries and more.

Cedric McDonald, the assistant director of the program, said Pow-er Hour works because it offers a different atmosphere to work on

schoolwork other than school. Once homework is taken

care of, teens partake in “Triple Play,” where they participate in physical activity, such as base-ball, football and basketball, and free time where the teenagers can choose among the activities available, such as air hockey, pool, foosball, video games and other recreational activities.

“Our program is geared to ensure our youth and teens re-ceive a specific skill set that leads them to become strong, independent and healthy young adults,” said Patrick Larkin, the youth activities director with the Marine and Family Pro-grams Division. “We want our military community to know that we have a lot to offer their family members, and it is not a program without goals or ex-pected outcomes. We are more than a ‘hang out’- we want our participants to develop a sense of industry, a holistic, worldly view and have a blast while do-ing so.”

The program offers shuttle service to MCB Camp Lejeune, Tarawa Terrace and New River housing areas and begins week-days with the exception of fed-eral holidays from 2:30 to 6 p.m. and on non-school days, such as teacher workdays, from noon to 6 p.m. Teen Squad is available for military middle and high school students who attend De-partment of Defense Education Activity schools aboard MCB Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River.

“This program gives parents peace of mind (because) they

know where their kids are after school,” said Lynn Brownley, a child, youth and teen program assistant for the Teen Squad.

The teenagers are also given opportunities to go on fieldtrips.

“It’s fun. I get to hang out with friends and play,” said Spring Saylor, a seventh grader.

While the program has a relaxing atmosphere, it offers more than that to the youth who attend, said Larkin.

The program has a partner-ship with the Boys and Girls Club of America, which pro-vides various beneficial pro-grams, including Money Mat-

ters, SMART Girls, Passport to Manhood, Healthy Habits, Club Tech, Career Launch and Date Smart among others.

“We build character,” said McDonald, who has worked with children for nine years and has been with the program since its inception. “These kids are the future leaders of tomorrow. Why not make sure they’re on track?”

The program is staffed with seven adults with a variety of educational backgrounds, such as music, recreation, theater, early childhood education, mar-keting and business. They re-ceive a minimum of 45 hours in annual training from the Boys and Girls Club of America and have training in cardiopulmo-nary resuscitation and first aid. The staff members spearhead individual clubs and are men-tors to the teenagers.

“I like to say that we have the most qualified, experienced, and dedicated youth and teen staff in the Marine Corps,” said Larkin.

Teen Squad also has programs available during school breaks. More information on these pro-grams will become available on the Marine Corps Community Services website.

To be a part of the Teen Squad, teens must be registered members of Children, Youth and Teen pro-grams. To register, a membership package must be filled out at the Stone Street Youth Pavilion and the Teen Squad facility during operating hours. For more infor-mation, call 449-9695, 450-8674 or 376-1531.

CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHTMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Approximately one-third of U.S. adults are obese, a condition that can lead to heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. More than 20 percent of U.S. adults smoke cigarettes, which is the leading cause of preventable death, killing one of every five smokers per year.

While obesity may not be as prevalent among the population of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, poor dietary practices along with tobacco use are the norm among the greater population of service members, leading many in the healthy living profes-sion to be concerned.

“So many Marines who come through here aren’t aware they have high blood pres-sure; Marines under 25 years old,” said Terry Rademann, health educator with the Health Promotion and Wellness Depart-ment, Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune. “A lot of these Marines and other service members aboard the base choose to eat poorly and use alcohol and tobacco products and then think they can make up for it in their (physi-cal training) sessions. There is a lot more in living a healthy lifestyle than to think you can dispel all the bad elements in your body by running every day.”

Rademann, along with the other educa-tors and specialists with the HPWD, host a multitude of healthy living classes for the benefit of the service members, civilian em-ployees and family members, ranging from weight loss and management programs, basic nutrition, healthy food preparation, diabetes and healthy heart programs, preg-nancy nutrition class and exercise classes. Yet, with all these classes and opportuni-ties to further aid those aboard the base in healthy living options, such everyday ail-ments as high blood pressure and hyperten-sion plague service members.

“One of the most common unhealthy eating problems is “portion distortion,” where we tend to eat to our appetite and not to a healthy limit that our bodies require,” said Rademann. “The kid’s meal of today is the standard-size adult meal of the 80s. We’ve gotten away from preparing our own, healthy meals to wanting food fast and easy,

not really caring about what is in the things we eat.”

Another trend among the active-du-ty population is the common usage of products that claim to help cut weight or build muscle with protein and creatine supplements.

“Long story short, I spent about $10,000 from ages 18 to 25 trying to find the easy supplemental way of losing weight and building muscle,” said Rademann. “Most of the Marines who use these supplements don’t use them in a way to best fit their in-dividual workout regimes, assuming the supplements they’re using even has the in-gredients in them that they claim to.”

A recent class-action lawsuit was taken against Bio-Engineered Supplements and Nutrition, Inc., “global leader in the sports nutrition marketplace,” after recent studies revealed that products that claimed to have creatine in them did not. There are also past and previous lawsuits against celebrity fit-ness trainer Jillian Michaels, claiming her dietary practices of “telling people you can take two magic pills and then eat chocolate cake all day is a deception,” as told by law-yer Melissa Harnett in 2010.

“There was a 27-year-old Marine who was medically discharged due to kidney fail-ure from improper use of supplements and a poor diet,” said Rademann. “It’s amazing what these men and women will do to their bodies to try to improve them. All you need is a balanced diet, a healthy lifestyle and steady workout routine.”

From fast food to supplements, to tobac-co, alcohol and energy drinks, service mem-bers put all this into their bodies expecting to maintain a healthy physical lifestyle. Rademann, along with the HPWD, is there to preach a message of better living to those that operate aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

“We want to get your attention before you’re diagnosed with a health-related is-sue,” said Rademann. “It’s harder when Marines come in here with pre-existing conditions. Knowing what to put into your body and what not to might seem simple, but that’s what we’re here for.”

For more information or to enroll for the aforementioned programs, call 451-3712.

Healthy living options for service members, civilians

Photo by Cpl. Jonathan G. WrightFor some Marines, this is usual lunch time fare. The Health Promotion and Wellness Department of Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is dedicated to helping Marines make healthy lifestyle choices to improve their overall health.

“Last fiscal year, the number of domestic abuse cases was 145,” said Phillips. “While it might be alarming to see that number rise as much as it did, it means more people are becoming aware of our services and not afraid to seek help. Any number, however, is still a concern.”

The Victim Advocacy Program, offered through the CCC, is available 24/7 with a service hotline for those who feel they may have been victims of a domestic vio-lence incident.

The silent witness silhouettes stand as a reminder that the reality of domestic violence is not just prevalent, but could also occur to anyone at any time. Aware-ness and aversion is the key to helping to reduce the number of cases aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

“A lot of people may not even think twice about hearing a story about someone hitting or talking down to their spouse, but it is an everyday occurrence,” said Da-vis. “Our goal is to reduce, if not dispel, all incidents, and for that to happen, more people need to come forward and be proactive in knowing how to prevent triggers of domestic violence in their own home.”

educational institutions, with several sets of transcripts.

“It’s so much paperwork, but actu-ally being able to sit down with some-one and talk about their whole appli-cation and everything they’ve done and things such as gradepoint average requirements, it’s nice to be able to do it. It’s difficult over the phone some-

times. That one-on-one personal atten-tion, getting that information and talk-ing to the academic adviser about the program – in one place – is fabulous. It’s been very successful.”

Joe Houle and Ihor Sywanyks represent part of the history of the Carolina Marines and support the efforts to build the Museum of the Marine in Jacksonville, N.C., with a projected ground breaking in 2012.

AMY BINKLEYAssistant managing editor

Every life is a story waiting to be told, and history is written as each interacts with the other.

It waits patiently for the right time and place to tell its tale.

For Carolina Marines, the time is now and the place is the Museum of the Marine.

Retired Col. George W. “Bill” Ay-ers, flanked by fellow retired Marines sergeants major Joe Houle and Ihor Sywanyks, sits at a conference table where renderings of the future museum stare back with their potential.

Ayers’ voice, though soft, is authori-tative, and as he begins to tell the story of the project, the history of the Ma-rine Corps’ presence in the Carolinas comes alive.

“(Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une) was dedicated in May 1941 before the war began,” he said, referring to World War II. “We have been through 70 years and four big wars all right here in Onslow County. It is time to tell the stories.”

Houle nods in agreement, and though it has been many years since these men have fought on the front-lines, it is clear their hearts are still imprinted with The Eagle, Globe and Anchor.

“We have to capture the history be-fore it’s lost,” explained Houle, interim executive director for the MOTM. “There is no other place that tells the stories of the Marines from the Carolinas.”

The Marine Corps is set apart from other military branches for many rea-sons, but its rich heritage as America’s force in readiness places it high in the ranks of respect.

Young recruits leave recruit training knowing the names of those who have gone before them, the battles fought and the integrity deeply rooted in the family they have joined.

Yet it is the unique account of the nearly four million Marines who have trained, served and deployed from the Carolinas, the first site for many histor-ical accomplishments, that the Museum of the Marine seeks to spotlight.

“This project started in 1999 by Maj. Gen. Ray Smith just after he had retired as the commanding (general) of (MCB) Camp Lejeune,” said Ay-ers. “Originally, he wanted to build a museum to honor the men of the 2nd Marine Division. It was obvious that it really should be one that didn’t only honor them but all of (the Marines from MCB) Camp Lejeune and com-munities that supported them since 1940.”

Onslow County officials and several retired Marines quickly got behind the idea and formed a planning board and committee to push the plan into motion.

Knowing the attraction would bring tourists and increased revenue to the local community, the first plans called for a hotel and convention center which would house the museum.

However, in 2005 after careful con-sideration, the location for the plans was deemed unfeasible.

“DOLPHIN TALE” (PG)

“Dolphin Tale” is a family adventure inspired by a true story that cen-ters on a courageous dol-phin named Winter, and the people who banded together to save her life.

This real-life tale started in 2005, when a young dolphin, a female bottlenose is caught in a crab trap, severely damag-ing her tail.

Child star Nathan Gamble (“Marley & Me”) can be seen as the 11-year-old Sawyer Nelson, the young boy who rescues the dolphin and whose unwavering devotion and friendship brings about a miracle that might not only save Winter, but could also help numerous people around the world.

The rescued dolphin is being cared for by veterinarian and ma-rine biologist, Dr. Clay Haskett, played by Harry Connick Jr. (“New in Town”), who brings her to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named Winter.

Sawyer is intrigued with the facilities, and with the help of Haskett’s young daughter, Hazel, played by Cozi Zuehls-dorff, he is permitted to spend time with Winter and eventually help care for her.

Here is where her fight for survival starts, be-cause without a tail, her prognosis is dire.

Morgan Freeman

(“Red,” “Invictus”) por-trays Dr. Ken McCarthy, the prosthetics expert who creates, after many failures, a special pros-thetic dolphin tail for the wounded dolphin.

Ashley Judd (“Cross-ing Over”) co-stars as Lorraine Nelson, Saw-yers’s supportive mother.

The old, talented crooner, Kris Kristoffer-son (“A Star is Born”) can be seen as Reed Haskett, the vet’s father.

Director, writer and ac-tor Charles Martin Smith (“Stone of Destiny,” “The Snow Walker,” “Air Bud”) brings us the big screen version of the true story of a cute creature that inspires everyone around her.

In the true spirit of Hollywood movies like “Lassie,” “Flipper,” and “Seabiscuit,” this tale of a wounded dolphin lives up to the old classics.

“Dolphin Tale” is a great inspiring and uplift-ing film for the entire family. You will get your heart warmed and will be touched by this true story of an unusual friendship developing between a boy and a dolphin, her remarkable recovery and rehabilitation and the enormous effect she had on the people who helped her keep swimming.

Don’t miss the touch-ing footage at the end of the movie showing Win-ter with disabled children. Winter, who plays herself in this film, today serves as a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope to millions of people. She has since become a world-

wide draw for the Clear-water Marine Aquarium in Florida, especially for disabled children and wounded veterans.

“THE THREE MUSKETEERS” (PG-13)

“The Three Muske-teers” is a remake of the classic swashbuckling adventure novel written by Alexandre Dumas.

The old and fabulous tale is about warriors who bond together in the name of justice and hon-or to protect and serve the king of France, and most importantly, each other.

The three musketeers are known as Porthos, Athos and Ramis and are portrayed by Ray Steven-son (“Thor”), Matthew MacFayden (“Robin Hood”), and Luke Evans (“Clash of the Titans”), respectively.

The three elite warriors

serve the king of France as his best musketeers.

After discovering an evil conspiracy to over-throw the king, the mus-keteers come across an aspiring hero, the greatest young swordsman known in France as D’Artagnan, played by Logan Ler-man (“3:10 to Yuma”), and take him under their wings.

Together, the four embark on a dangerous mission to foil the plot that not only threatens the crown, but the future of Europe itself.

They must stop the evil and caniving Cardinal Richelieu, portrayed by Christoph Waltz (“In-glourious Basterds”), who is trying to take control of France from the young King Louis XIII.

They must also face off with the Duke of Buckingham, played by Orlando Bloom (“King-dom of Heaven”) and the treacherous Milady de Winter, played by

Milla Jovovich (“Resident Evil”).

Also appearing is Mads Mikkelsen (“Val-halla Rising”) as Roche-fort; Gabrielle Wilde as Constance, the queen’s lady-in-waiting; and James Corden as Plachet, a wise-cracking fool.

Director Paul W.S. Anderson (“Death Race,” “Resident Evil,” “Alien vs Predator”) took on this remake of the famous and dashing musketeers who were born to be heroes, trained to be warriors, and destined to fight evil, and attempts to put a more modern and comic spin on the old tale.

“The Three Mus-keteers” is an updated telling of the action ad-venture with the popular motto: “All for one and one for all” - this time filmed in spectacular state-of-the-art 3D, to be enjoyed by a whole new generation of movie fans.

However, this lat-est film version is not worthy of the 1844 clas-sic Dumas tale and is a complete flop, both in directing and acting, and especially in dialogue and action.

TWO LOCATIONS IN JACKSONVILLE TO BETTER SERVE YOU!


“Some people don’t understand. Maybe they think (our child’s behavior) is due to bad parenting or that some of our kids just need discipline. If it were only so simple.”

The above quote references a mother interviewed by Carrie Bishop with Indy’s Child, an Indiana maga-zine for parents, about difficulties parents have with their children’s negative behavior.

With a significant number of exceptional family members aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine and Family Services is determined to provide as many resources and workshops to their caregivers.

A “Practical Applications for Everyday Behav-iors” workshop was presented by Butterfly Effects to parents, educators, childcare providers and social workers at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center, Oct. 26.

Exceptional family members aboard the base have challenges that range from very high functioning dis-orders to some of the most severe cases of autism.

Autism, along with many other disorders, is often invisible until symptoms like social awkwardness, stemming and tantrums according to Indy’s Child. Butterfly Effects offers comprehensive and coordi-nated case management for individuals with a broad range of challenges similar to these symptoms and behaviors.

They provide therapy and tutoring services to indi-viduals of all ages, addressing challenges in the areas of academics, behavior, communication, daily living and social and life skills.

While some workshop attendants were parents of children with special needs, most were staff at either one of the child development centers or youth pavilions.

“I want to get as much information to help with the kids in our program,” said Gaylin Rogers, with the Tarawa Terrace Youth Pavilion. “We have some (children) that have been diagnosed with (autism) and some that have not been diagnosed, but have the characteristics. I’m trying to get more tools for my toolbox to help the other staff.”

Leah Bean, a behavior analyst with Butterfly Ef-fects, focused on how to deal with problem behaviors on a daily basis.

“Manipulating the environment ahead of time and making a plan before the behavior occurs is the best place to start,” Bean said.

Some antecedent strategies include: providing clear instructions that are appropriate for the child’s skill level, providing choices in work, play and moti-vating activities, modeling desired behavior, providing clear consequences for undesired behavior, providing frequent reinforcement when the child is not engaged in problem behavior, giving verbal and silent praise and paying frequent attention to the child without requiring anything of them.

Some consequence strategies include: forming a plan, making the behavior ineffective and teaching an appropriate alternatives.

The next Butterfly Effects workshop “Helping children identify and cope with behaviors” will be held Dec. 14.

For more information on upcoming workshops, call 451-4103.

Ghouls, goblins roam free at ASYMCAPFC. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERAMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The parking lot of Tarawa Terrace’s plaza was crowded with su-perheroes, princesses, dinosaurs and horror-movie monsters during Little Ghouls and Gob-lins, a costume event held aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune hous-ing area, Oct. 27.

On a blocked-off area of the parking lot, the Armed Services YMCA held the free event for military families, giving them the opportunity to network and intro-duce them to what the ASYMCA has to offer.

“There’s not a lot of stuff for the kids to do here in Jacksonville, and when (there are events like this), it’s a good time to communicate with other military wives, especially when your spouse is deployed,” said Lahoma Harper, a par-ticipant at the event.

The planning began in August when Barbara Robinson, program direc-tor for ASYMCA, began canvassing for donations.

“It took a lot of leg-work,” said Robinson. “It was a completely free event. Everything was donated.”

With a slew of fami-lies that greatly exceeded the ASYMCA’s pre-registrations and expecta-tions, the organization was able to provide a fun event with costume and

coloring contests, food, a bounce house and plenty of activities to go around.

Amanda Veneziani, who appreciated the no-cost event during tough times, thought it was a good opportunity to get out of the house.

“It’s nice to know that they care enough to do events for the family and for the kids,” said Caitlin Wilson, who attended with her husband and son. “It’s outstanding that they’re willing to do that.”

With the goal of “Serving those who serve America,” the ASYMCA provides programs such as Sights for Students, where school-aged mili-tary children and teenag-ers can receive an eye exam and glasses for free; Operation Kid Comfort where military children

can receive a homemade pillow or a blanket with their deployed parents picture on it; Mini Mov-ers, a bi-weekly group where parents and chil-dren play; and Backdoor Boutique, a store that allows service members E6 and below to shop for new or gently used items for a fraction of retail price.

The event had several volunteers who helped with the festivities, in-cluding Marines.

“Being able to see kids enjoy the time, have fun and make memories, is something I won’t forget,” said Cpl. Donte Houston with II Marine Expeditionary Force, Headquarters Group,who volunteered at the cel-ebration. “Everybody should get involved with their YMCA. It’ll bring

them a lot of joy.” Little Ghouls and

Goblins went beyond Robinson’s expectations.

“It was a major suc-cess,” she said.

LT. RAY RIVERSMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

I have been privileged to serve with two Marines who have retired over the past month. Their cer-emonies were significant, in part, because their ca-reers were significant. Their careers were significant because they had a great influence over the Marines and sailors that they led. Both these men have been great examples and have had a very positive impact on the Marine Corps and those they served with.

One reason for this positive impact is that these men could relate well to the men and women they served with. They had been where these troops were traveling. One had held every enlisted rank and had gone through many of the experiences and trials that the troops were experiencing. The other had risen high in the ranks.

Not only could the “wool not be pulled over” their eyes by those they led, but when their troops underwent temptations, trials or problems, these leaders could relate well to them and their situation.

Wisdom, guidance, encouragement and compas-sion were often given to the individual Marine or sailor while going through their situation. These men were strong leaders, in part, because they had been there before.

Jesus offers the same encouragement for us to-day. He has been where we go; he has experienced our temptations and pain and trials, and because of this, he can lead and encourage us everyday.

In the Bible, Hebrews 4:15-16 states it this way, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Jesus offers us forgiveness through our repen-tance and faith, wisdom during through his Holy Spirit and word, and encouragement and strength during our trials and temptations.

He is an awesome savior and God who loves us, and like these distinguished leaders who were there for there troops, he is there for us.

Will we trust him today?

Understanding, encouragement lead the way

During a Challenging Children workshop held at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, par-ents, educators and social workers joined together to learn to use applied behavior analysis to ad-dress tantrum behaviors, Oct. 25.

Rachel Kolb and Anne Stull, behavior analysts with the May Center for Autism Spectrum Disor-ders in Jacksonville, N.C. focused on defining the undesired behavior, its function and how it can be changed.

“We cannot accurately determine when, where, how often, or why a behavior occurs unless we are clear on what that behavior looks like,” Stull

said. “Without being able to determine these things, we cannot work to change the behavior.”

To determine the func-tion of the behavior or why it is a child is acting in a particular way, care-givers first need to take notes on how often, when and where it occurs and what typically happens after the behavior occurs.

“Applying an interven-tion that is not based on the function of behavior will not be effective and may reinforce (it), increas-ing the likelihood that it will occur in the future,” Stull said.

Different functions include gaining attention, escape from demand, access to tangibles and automatic reinforcement.

Kolb went over both antecedent and conse-quential interventions for each function.

“Antecedent interven-tions are used before the

tantrum occurs and pre-vents (it) from occurring,” Kolb said. “Consequential interventions are used after the tantrum occurs and decreases the tantrum behavior from occurring in the future.”

Kolb stressed that pairing themselves with reinforcement and engag-ing their children with appropriate, preferred activities is the most im-portant thing for caregiv-ers to remember for every type of intervention and reminded class attendants that behavior does not change overnight. Often, inappropriate behaviors get worse before they get better.

“Don’t give up,” she added. “Applying inter-ventions for tantrum be-haviors may be more work in the present but will be worth it in the future.”

Along with providing free services to families on base, the May Center

for Autism Spectrum Disorders offers a compre-hensive set of educational and behavioral services to children and their fami-lies, private agencies and public schools throughout the area.

Working closely with the families they serve, the behavior specialists use developmentally appro-priate practices based on applied behavior analysis, the methodology univer-sally recognized as critical for teaching children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders or other behavioral or devel-opmental disabilities.

Their state-of-the-art programming addresses all areas of a child’s devel-opment including lan-guage, peer interactions and behavior.

MUSEUM FROM 1D “We had to start all over again,” Ayers

explained, unable to hide the disappoint-ment in his voice.

The millions of dollars that had been raised throughout the first five years stayed safe in the banks while the search began again for the perfect location.

“We had to find a new home for it,” Houle remembered.

After years of searching, MOTM board members received permission to build near the Lejeune Memorial Gardens behind the Beirut Memorial in Jacksonville, N.C, and, since 2007, they have been steadily receiv-ing funds, collaborating with architects and designers and drawing up plans.

“We have no debt, but in order to break ground in 2012, we need more money,” Ay-ers stated. “The building itself will cost an estimated $12 million. We currently have $4 million. Simply put, we need more.”

In the current economic hard times, ask-ing for financial assistance seems somewhat ironic, but great endeavors require great sacrifices.

“We haven’t received a penny of federal money,” noted Ayers. “Most of our money is from local contributors. The federal gov-ernment will not build this building.”

Ayers and Houle praised the community for the support they have given for more than a decade through pledges, contribu-tions and even offering to store several arti-facts that will eventually go in the museum.

The magnitude of the project can be somewhat overwhelming for the average person, but broken down by the numbers, the significant impact it will have on the local and Marine Corps community cannot be ignored.

According to tourism studies, the mu-seum will bring a projected 112,000 new visitors to the area who will spend nearly $11 million during their stay, annually.

The economic boost is highly an-ticipated, but the heart of the matter has always been to tell the untold, sometimes unknown stories of the Marines and other service members that have passed through the gates of MCB Camp Lejeune and the other Carolina-based Marine bases and air stations included in the “Carolina Com-plex” for the past 70 years.

These grounds set the stage for the first amphibious development of the Fleet Marine Force.

Well-known Marine war heroes like Chesty Puller and Archer Vandergrift received their pre-deployment training at

MCB Camp Lejeune before fighting in the nation’s first WWII offensive, the amphibi-ous assault of Guadalcanal.

More than 20,000 female Marines were brought to Eastern North Carolina to train in non-combat positions that relieved enough active-duty male Marines to form the 6th Marine Division.

The list of firsts goes on and on, includ-ing the training of the Montford Point Marines, the Reserve Forces, war dogs and the development and refinement of the heliborne assault tactics so commonly used today by the MV-22 Osprey.

“No where else in the U.S. is there so much military history in such a short time frame,” Ayers said.

History is always best told by those who have lived it, and while efforts have been made to record as many veterans’ stories as possible, time is a constant enemy.

More of the story is lost every day, and the time for preservation is now.

“The sooner we get this thing up, the better we’ll all be,” explained Sywanyks. “If everybody gave something, that building could go up fast.”

Though the push for corporate sponsors is at the forefront of fundraisers’ minds, every little bit helps. More than 4,000 commemorative bricks have been sold in the campaign that boasts, “Buy a brick and build a legend.”

Other fundraising events include this weekend’s Military Collectors Show at the American Legion Building in Jacksonville, N.C., which will feature artifacts from the Civil War to at least the Vietnam era.

“I’ve wanted to do one of these shows for the museum for years,” said Ayers. “There is no junk. People can be rest-as-sured that everything is genuine, not fake.”

Admission is only $5, with all the ticket money going straight to the museum’s funds.

“It’s cheaper than a movie,” Ayers joked.

No matter the balance of the budget, the goal of the museum remains the same – to honor the contributions and sacrifices of Marines, their units, their families and the Carolina communities that support them by telling their stories and sharing their lives.

History is being written even now. Make the decision to play a part in it.

Despite cold and dreary weather, Tarawa Terrace Community Centers’ second Family Pumpkin Bash succeed-

ed in bringing in more than 1,000 guests.“It’s an amazing turnout,” said Lor-

raine Fuller, a recreational specialist with Marine Corps Community Services. “It’s exceeded our wildest dreams.”

The Family Pumpkin Bash, an event that stemmed from the Pumpkin Patch in the Haunted Forest that took place aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une in years past, has become a popular event in its own right.

Conveniently located at the Tarawa Terrace Community Center aboard the MCB Camp Lejeune housing area, the event boasted a long list of fun activities, Oct. 29.

“We wanted it to be a little closer to the community,” said Fuller. “Having an event like this close to home makes it easy to walk down the street, have an hour of fun and head back home. It’s not an all-day affair, so it’s convenient.”

With pony rides, festival attractions and activities like mummy wrapping and arts and crafts, there were plenty of things for the children to enjoy.

Popcorn, pumpkins and carving mate-rials were provided free of charge.

“It’s pretty good for the kids,” said Sgt. Roman Miller with 2nd Marine Logistics Group. “I know my two sons enjoyed themselves a lot.”

Family Pumpkin Bash seeks to im-

prove each year, bringing new ideas and expanding on family favorites like face painting.

If families needed a reprieve from the hands-on activities, there was a quiet room where Fran Bing, a youth services technician at the Harriotte B. Smith Library, read stories.

Story time cycled through a series of Halloween-themed books. When they were finished, Blue Star Families’ “Books on Bases Smiles on Bases” program gave away the books to their excited listeners.

Several volunteers hailed from Opera-tion Noble Heart, where Marines, family members and other members of the military community can be linked with volunteering opportunities.

“They’re motivated and dedicated,” said Fuller. “Honestly we couldn’t do the program without them. With a small staff and so many people, it can be difficult, but with the volunteers it was manageable.”

The volunteers, including Marines, also enjoyed the opportunity.

Lance Cpl. Russ Hanson, 2nd Marine Division, said if he had not been there he would have been in the barracks. He urged other Marines to volunteer.

Organizers also took the opportunity to teach children about trick-or-treat safety tips.

Fuller added that MCCS is creating events that include all age groups to en-courage families to come as a unit.

“Hopefully, everybody finds a pro-gram that they’re interested in,” she said. “We’d love to have them all out. We en-joy spending time with the community.”
