WW Chamber

Of Commerce

Says Mahalo Brigade leathernecks have

been specially commended by the Windward Oahu Chamber of Commerce for their civic ef- forts in 1962.

In a letter from Roberf N. Rinker, president of the cham- ber, Brigade Marines were cit- ed for their community spirit and "splendid work done on behalf of the Windward com- munities."

Citing specific instances which happened recently, Mr. Rinker wrote:

The Brigade band has af- forded much pleasure on many occasions over the past years. All of us appreciated their ef- fort again this Christmas sea- son.

A special note of thanks should go to the organizations responsible for the securing, transporting and erecting the tremendous Nor f o 1 k Pine Christmas tree in downtown K.ilua. This 'first-time-event' was the highlight of the past holiday season.

-Once again may we say Ma- halo, and hope that the new year will afford continued op- portunity to cooperate for the common good of our Windward community."

Stats Sum Station Status By SSgt. Jim DiBernardo

If facts and figures could talk they'd tell an interesting tale about K-Bay.

For instance, in 1962, Station Disbursing officers paid out more than $24 million.

The Station Commissary bought a million-and-a-half dol- lars woth of goods from local firms. This was more than $200 thousand above '61 expendi- tures.

The Public Works Motor "T" division rolled their wheels over one-and-a-half million miles of Station and State roads.

Airfield Operations handled traffic totalling 117,000 air- craft using K-Bay's runways.

K-Bay's mobile morest snagged 4500 planes and the Station's Search and Rescue team was alerted 56 times. Six rescues, involving 20 people, were made. Thirty-two hundred traffic

warnings and citations were written by the MPs. One thou- sand violators attended traffic court.

Nearly 69,000 registered vis- itors passed through our main gate.

K-Bay's Communications Center processed 120,000 messages - incoming and outgoing - totalling 13 mil- lion words.

The Station Dispensary re-

ported a 10 percent increase in its '62 service.

Out-patients numbered al- most 68,000 including mili- tary, dependents, Civil Serv- ice, retired military and humanitarian cases. More than 58,000 prescrip-

tions were filled, nearly 14,000 x-rays were taken and 165 persons were treated for in- gested toxic or foreign matter.

All told, there were 1788

dents say they were the wickedest winds experienced in about three years on the K-Bay side of the island. The Air Station got the word

to button-up late Tuesday aft- ernoon. Aircraft were promptly moved into hangars as erratic winds increased in velocity.

WAS Aerology recorded gusts reaching more than 45 mph at times Tuesday eve- ning. Early Wednesday morning the weather-watch-

ers registered one sudden blow at about 70 mph. They predicted more to come.

Seven Marines with a total of 23 dependents were forced from their off-Station dwellings in Kaneohe Tuesday night when rampaging winds left their homes roofless. All were given emergency shelter in the TOQ.

Public Works reported at WM deadline only minor dam- age on Station.

American Principles Make the Man;

Must Possess Kindliness, Intuition By Chaplain P. W. Power

The great principle of Americanism is that merit makes the man. It discards all distinctions which are purely accidental, and recognizes only such as are personal.

It places every man on his own two feet and says to him, "Be a man and you shall be esteemed according to your worth as a man; you shall be com- mended only for your personal merits."

To be a man, therefore, is more than being shrewd. It is to possess a genuine kindliness, displaying sympathetic intui- tion in judging others and in-

dicating a sincere desire to be helpful.

For the American no one is more ready to assist a fallen comrade. And with generosity in conduct goes generosity in thought. He prefers to think well of people; likes to see peace and good will.

But at the basis of these qualities is a simple reverence, a trust in our Almighty God and a willingness to follow His law. To be a man is to pay homage to our Creator.

To be an American is to re- spect our God and follow His will in our life.

MAW's MABS-27 recently received new 21/2-ton cargo trucks designed specifically for operation with Marine Air Wing units.

The six-bys, designated M-35A1, are powered by a multi- fuel engine that runs on any combustible fuel with the excep- tion of aviation gasoline.

Designed primarily for diesel fuel, the engine operates very successfully on JP series jet fuel. The purpose of the switch, which will eventually take place with all aviation unit vehicles, is to cut down on the types and varied amounts of different fuels required in the combat area by an Air Wing. *

Mercury Highlights Year

PMR Facility 'All Systems

Go' During 1962 at KBay Last year was a year of

achievements for K-Bay's Pa- cific Missile Range Facility.

PMR and its associated Ha- waiian and mid-Pacific instru- mentation stations and tract- inv recovery ships played a major role in supporting many of the nation's top missile and satellite programs.

Project Mercury, one of last year's priority space efforts, was supported by down range tracking stations, instrumen- tation ships and aircraft, and by missile impact location- all controlled by PMR here.

In February's "Man in 'pace" flight, in which As- tronaut Marine LtCol. John H. Glenn Jr. orbited the world three times, the Can- ton Island and Kokee (Kauai) PMR tracking stations watched over Col. Glenn and "Friendship 7" with telemetry and radar.

In May, the tracking sites recorded the space flight of DCdr. Scott Carpenter. It was from information gathered by Kokee flight controllers that allowed Cdr. Carpenter in his "A urora 7" space craft to "Go" for iris third orbit.

Again in October, with ad-

ditional f o r c e s to support Project Mercury, down range elements played a major role in the tracking and recovery of Cdr. Walter Schirra on his six-orbit flight.

In supporting inter-con- tinental ballistic missile op- erations for impact location, PMR missile impact location stations claimed a successful year. Throughout 1962, the University of Hawaii, in con- junction with the Kaneohe MILS station, recorded un- derwater sounds for re- search. Other highlights included

the rescue of two persons stranded on a remote island off Windward Oahu by a PMR helicopter.

Hawaii's State Legislature honored PMR's participation in the support of Col. Glenn's orbit flight.

Some 22,000 space-minded students, scouts, civic and church organizations viewed PMR's Range and space films. Many top military and civi-

lian space leaders visited PMR. And last, but not least, HMC

Wayne A. Brown in 1962 be- came PMR's first enlisted man to receive a commission.

Brigadier General Keith B. McCutcheon, USMC Commanding General 1st Marine Brigade, FMF c/o FPO, San Francisco, California

Dear Boss:

1 got the word you're not going to be my boss much longer. Seems the top man in D. C. has decided to launch you soonest on the next step upward in your career. Al- though I'm really glad for you, and I somehow expected as soon as I got to know you that it would be this way, I'm a little disappointed we didn't have more time together.

Actually, I think our association and relationship was about reaching a prime. You know, it takes a little while to figure out just how a new boss wants and expects things to be done. I think I was just getting it down pat. with a little more shaping-up here and there. And I think you about had me pegged as to my capabilities and limitations.

I'm sure you'll agree I keep busy, I'm a willing worker -and a proud one. Of course, I'm a little different from the average. I'm rather complex in my make-up, as you found out, yet I'm still pretty versatile, 1 think.

1 sincerely regret 1 didn't get the opportunity to really flex all my muscles at the same time in a calculated test of my fitness to do my job. Crossbar was my big chance -- and I was ready-but Castro and friends had to try our

% country on for size about that time, as you recall, and 1 had to go on stand-by like all the rest of my colleagues. Still, I gained a lot of experience preparing for the exercise.

I guess you know, I got in a lot of double-timing during the past 11 months just keeping up with you and the way you operate. And I sometimes felt you were a bit skeptical about certain of my capabilities, as any boss might be, so I tried hard to prove myself. I hope I did.

I won't forget you and your tenure as my boss. nt remember I always knew where I stood with you. When I did something wrong, you let me know it loud and clear so I could correct it and make sure it didn't happen again. On the other hand, you were just as quick to personally commend me when I did something excellent to outstand- ing. 1 appreciated this.

And I won't forget Mrs. NeCutcheon, either. I think she kept as busy in her duties as First Lady as you did as CG. I will always remember her charm and graciousness.

Well, boss, I've got to get back to work. I want to assure you do my best to stay on the ball and to do a good job for the new commander. And I want you to know I'll miss you and Mrs. McCutcheon very much. I hope you'll miss me too.

Good luck, God speed . . . and Aloha.

Respectfully yours,

`Great Progress We EDITOR'S NOTE: On Jan. 3, General D. M.

SI p. our Corps' Commandant, addressed his staff at 11(1311: in Washingtare. D.C. What he had to say is of vital interest and importance to all Marines, Navy and civilian personnel connected with the Corps. Fol- lowing are Gen. Shoup's remarks in their entirety.

Introduction Marines, regular and reserve, Navy personnel, and ci-

vilians who make up the Nlarine Corps portion of our ready Armed Forces team, G I klor ' g!

Only by the grave of God and an aerial photo is it possi- ble to make the,e remarks to many of you in person rather than to your spirits. For this I am truly thankful.

Many a well done to all of you for the milestones you fashioned so well in '62.

On several of the targets designated in the past in these annual remarks, we. shot for record in '62. We retained our "expert" badge. We need a few more legs for "dis- tinguished." We'll make it in '63.

Great progress we made in '62. Remember? We didn't do so well on the February questionnaires. We couldn't an- swer those all-important questions. In October the 45,000 Marines awaiting their government's decision on invasion, and the 100,000 more ready to hack them up, knew all the answers. I saw it in their eyes; heard it in their voices; felt it from their hearts. Amazing. All this in just seven months.

General Observations 1. There was Thailand. There was and is South Viet-

na. These small deployments were proof that saying we were ready was not just idle propaganda. Then came Cuba -that painful, pride-pricking predicament in which panic could play no part. But ready forces could and did. Once again a mobile, flexible, powerful naval force wets called upon to meet a serious challenge. Tucked away in scores of the ships of this force were thousands of Marines, with their aircraft and ground weapons-teamed up with the Navy in this getting ashore business. Ready. Waiting.

2. The prompt, certain reaction by all elements of our famous Navy-Marine Corps amphibious team and its sup- porting elements has been the most efficient and profes- sional in our peacetime history. To "ready" we now add "and steady." This success was not surprising nor remark- able. They met the only Marine Corps standards we accept.

3. The thing that warrants great national pride regard- ing the buildup for Cuba is that parochialism perished in the Armed Forces. The Army, Navy-Marine, Air Force forces, keenly aware of their own capabilities and limita- tions and those of the other services, were melded together under a unified commander into one of the greatest assault teams in American history.

4. I've remarked before that we Marines by our very nature are expeditionary creatures. A few moments and we're ready to go. When? Where? We never know. But I do think President -elect A. Lincoln made a point applicable even today when he wrote: "The necessity of being ready increases. Look to it." Looking to it is a daily - yes, hourly - task. Drifting along on the log of complacency is dangerous. Roll the log ever now and then - you may discover it is being held together by termites.

5. Yes, we've had many mount-outs this year. On any one or all of these we could well have been "shooting for record." Each time D-day came near, I believe there was a little guilt in the conscience, a little twitch in the stomach of every individual and leader front squad to division and wing. I say this because I ant sure that as they reviewed their omissions in training, teamwork and maintenance- they realized that they could have done better, provided a little more insurance of success in battle, a little better chance for a greater her to get back whole. Let's don't have it happen again! For after all, the battle of the ideolo- gies has been going on for a long, long time and freedom is apt to be our most important unfinished business for many more decades. These challenges of tomorrow can only be met with the strength and courage developed from the experiences of today passed along as wisdom from the past.

6. Too many fatties are still around. This situation is not compatible with our standards. There's too much talk- ing and not e nth walking in this physical fitness chatter. The instinct to obtain f I si Id not he expanded to a permit to dig an early grave with your teeth. Give more thought to this problem. Exercise your brain as well as your muscle prevent flabbiness in both. Where lack of physical fitness and weight control persist in a command it is an indication of ineffective leadership. Always potential commanders around who'd like a whack at it, you know.

7. Too many Marines kill each other with the equip- ment and weapons with which they are entrusted. Everyone must strive to blot out this blotch on our state of discipline and training. A single injury or death of a Marine by acci- dent is too many. Let's have none in 1963. It's a downright

disgrace to have it otherwise. 8. Just one half of our ancestors are women. But far

more than one half of the high morale, readiness and dedi- cation of Marines is dependent upon our wives and mothers. Please let yours know that I appreciate the staunch and cheerful manner in which they accept their increased re- sponsibilities during the many deployments of our Marines.

Personnel and Manpower During the past year I've had the opportunity to talk

directly with a good many young Marines - both officer and enlisted. The Marine Corps is people - not serial numbers, pay grades, or items issued by the quartermaster. And the people have names, hopes, fears; ambitions and, as human beings, are subject to all the frailties of the flesh and weaknesses toward high-powered salesmen.

Here are some of the ingredients of leadership on which you might meditate:

Know your people. know everything you can about them, personally and professionally. You will attain this knowledge only by personal observation and study under varying conditions, different situations, observing them un- der trial.

He objective. Reputations - either good or bad - should be assessed in terms of here and now. Last war's Navy Cross winner and last month's Special Court Martial prisoner both have to live up to today's realities.

Be professional. You cannot and must not tolerate mediocre performance. But it will be up to you and to you alone to make the middle-of-the-road I-don't-care type into a first -class Marine. Set a high standard, and then by exam- ple, understanding, and the patience of Job mold him into the type of citizen he should be.

Teach self-reliance and practice it. Use your imagina- tion and the brains with which you are blessed to solve problems. Most people thrive on responsibility - give your people a chance to thrive.

I know that many oldsters have assumed, and practice as an inalienable right, the prerogative of decrying present- day youth. This prerogative exists solely in the mind and is most apt to seize a man about the time a stomach, bald spot, a lack of imagination, and a loss of curiosity begin to take over. Let's face the cold hard facts - the young men of today are just about what we make them. They take their image from their fathers or older men around them -or in the case of young Marines, from their seniors. The image we portray is that from which they will mold their own individuality. If we seniors are slothful mentally, slov- enly physically or sloppy morally, our juniors will be the first to know it. It's easy to be a copy-cat. Why not provide only good examples for guidance. Remember, there's a whale of difference between leadership and drivership.

I think it is safe to say in this troubled world of ours - if we can produce enough properly guided men we won't need guided missiles. The challenge is ours. Remember, little things count as well as the big things in this leader- ship business. If you can't teach your men to salute, how can you teach them to shoot? Someone once said that "the chains of habit are generally too small to be felt, 'til they are too strong to be broken."

About Marines and machines, I refuse to deliver our Marines and all their personal problems to the spinning tapes and the flashing lights of a computer. I am not willing to accept a mechanical solution to a human prob- lem. Accordingly, we will continue to take the time and make the effort to deal with the Marine and his problem as an individual and not as a punched card or a blip on magnetic tape.

The provision and maintenance of adequate, safe, and suitable housing for Marine Corps personnel, on or near our installations, continues to be one of our main objec- tives. We are making progress. During this year we are building 200 new units. Our Fiscal Year 1964 program con- tains an additional 140 units. We can best show our appre- ciation by proper care of this Government property.

Many commanding officers have in the past found it difficult to pursue the ends of justice because of the in- terminable bulkheads which had to be broken down in order to effect proper discipline. Congress has now given you w hat you have long said you needed - greater power of nonjudicial punishment. The amended Article 15 of the UCMJ becomes effective on 1 Febtuary. Use it intelligently, use it wisely, in keeping with the Marine Corps' time- honord standards of leadership and justice. With this valu- able assist from an understanding Congress, I'm sure bat- tling for our ideals in this vital area of command responsi- bility will no longer be so wearisome.

I stated three years ago what we have always known- that, in comparison with each other, it is mathematically impossible for everyone to be "outstanding." I am pleased to note that fitness reports of officers and NCOs now indi- cate that we have a surprising number of "average" Ma- rines. Let's continue the practice of honest, fair reporting.

leader the lack of several items of combat-essential equip- ment and supplies. The lack among squad members of essential basic knowledge of a combat-ready Marine was easily apparent. When questioned, the squad leader ad- mitted he hadn't done his job prior to mounting out. When I asked the lieutenant in command of the platoon to explain why a sergeant and a corporal had no extra magazine pocket and extra magazines, he replied, "Sir, no one brought it to my attention." Amen! Amen!

When the records of a unit show that the clothing sales have measurably increased and the issue of small items of individual equipment have skyrocketed a few days prior to the arrival of the Inspector General's team, this is an adverse reflection on the commander. It indicates laxity and ineffectiveness in the command inspection system.

Teaching and learning how to inspect is a vitally im- portant bit of business in soldiering. Let us all face this problem more squarely.

Intelligence Combat intelligence - the peacetime orphan who grows

so important and becomes so respected in wartime. Treat it properly, now so that it can grow fast.

We pay a lot of lip service to our intelligence effort. But unless there is a fire-fight in sight we tend to neglect this vital part of our combat power in our daily training plans.

Some of the things needed to improve our intelligence capabilities are relatively easy to produce or can be quickly obtained from other sources. But learning to speak, read, and w rite a foreign language is a long lead-time proposition. As an adjunct to our present language instruction at the Marine Corps Schools and elsewhere, I encourage indi- vidual Marines wherever stationed to undertake the study of either French or Spanish. And when you're fluent in one, take on the other.

Supply Each year our supply system becomes more and more a

matter of computers. Even now plans go forward for mak- ing more data susceptible to computer manipulation.

True, this all adds to speed of response and reduced COMB. But-supply management is command business. Sup- ply command-husiness is the serious business of every indi- vidual and every level of command from squad and plane crew to divisions and wings.

The achievement by a commander of a high state of trained readiness while maintaining that fine balance - between economy and effectiveness - in supply is not easy; nor can it be accomplished by system improvement alone. Its solution lies also in the foresight and know-how of the commander and his entire unit. You can't long use what you abuse! Flap requisitioning is a poor substitute for planning.

With the approval by Congress of the amounts we ex- pect the President to ask for in his FY-64 budget, we will almost complete the purchase of all the items of equipment and ammunition we need to finish the modernization of the Fleet Marine Forces. We should have all this new equip- ment in service by the middle of 1965. When that happens, the Marine Corps will be in the best shape, equipment-wise, in our history. Train and educate to make it last for many years.

We will continue to have maintenance problems in deadlined equipment, lack of spare parts, etc. Many things contribute to these problems, but I'm convinced that a portion of the trouble lies in a second class job of first echelon maintenance. Improved driver/user maintenance will reduce the requirement for spare parts. This is some- thing you can do at unit level - with no more paper from Headquarters Marine Corps. It's everybody's job. Every- body's responsibility. Get a grip on it.

Let's make a particular effort to conserve our expen- sive hard-to-get equipment. A truck can do a good job simulating an L. V. T. on land. We can obtain and main- tain a "six-by" pretty easily compared to a 8150,000 L. V. T. which is no longer being produced.

Fiscal The Marine Corps continues to believe that financial

management is implicit in command. We strongly believe that combat readiness, our principal concern, is directly related to the amount of responsibility and authority the commander exercises over his men, money, and materials. Our COs must have the same authority over fiscal matters, commensurate with their responsibilities, as they have for other matters. Our COs must make decisions based upon first-hand knowledge of what is needed and what is avail- able, and with a clear understanding of what it will cost to achieve the training standards they desire. Fund resources always have a limitation; the CO can make the best choice for the benefit of the Marine Corps. He can quickly and readily shift resources to meet rapidly changing require-

ments. We will continue to place authority over our dollar where it belongs-in the hands of the commander. We wi continue to hold him responsible for the result.

I have frequently pointed out our duty to get full vast of every dollar we receive from the public.

Use the dollars wisely, but use them. Don't be perm: wise and pound-foolish. If you fail to do things that hay to be done you will wake up to find that your whole machin will eventually creak to a grinding halt. Even if it doesn happen on your watch, it will inevitably happen to the ma who relieves you and inherits a command whose facilitie and equipment are tottering along on their final journe to oblivion.

So I say: ensure that every dollar does full duty. Do no deny the troops and the roofs the things they need just that you can sit on a nest of sterile dollars. They won't rt produce as far as I know.

Reserve We enter 1963 with what I believe to be the best-traineo

and best-equipped reserves in the history of our Corps. b the future, as so often in the past, it will be the reserve on whom we count for the additional ready strength re quired when the chips are really down.

During the past year our estimated reaction time is event of mobilization has been considerably shortened b: the establishment within the organized reserve of a fourth division/wing team.

This plan is a good one. It is up to all of you, officer and NCOs, regulars and reserves alike, to answer the ehal hinge of training in such an imaginative and effective fash ion that the promise of this plan will be matched by per formance.

The Marine Corps Reserve is a reserve in a literal sense It is not unlike the reserve division available to a corp. commander. It is something to be committed at the vital moment. For the Marine Corps in recent crises, that ma ment was not quite reached. If it comes in the future, the reserve will be called. Only when combat casualties exist or are imminent will I ask to call our reserve.

Stay ready. If you are mobilized it will be fast. You will be needed - and needed badly.

Research and Development This year I made a modest increase in the staff of the

Deputy Chief of Staff (Research & Development). This has already paid dividends in that our research and devel- opment is being approached from a total program and effort point of view. This will make it more responsive to the requirements of the Fleet Marine Force and the prob- able availability of future dollars.

Last year I said equipping to be a winner is our biggest enigma. We are slowly solving that enigma.

Our development efforts are being aimed at finding simple and rugged implements to enhance the combat po- tential of our air-ground team. Our development efforts should result from recommendations of our field forces. These should come along after field exercises indicate an operational need for such items. Let us hear from you - often.

Headquarters Staff In my ten years' experience 'it Headquarters Marine

Corps I've never seen a tougher year on the members of the Headquarters staff than calendar year 1962. I hope the demands may be lighter in 1963. I shall do my part to further this idea.

By your sincere dedicated efforts you have given the Marine Corps added stature.

My sincere thanks to eachof you for the important part you have played in this accomplishment.

It is my hope that all Marine Corps orders and direc- tives can be prepared in understandable language and is- sued on a timely basis - so nearly perfect that no one needs come to Headquarters, nor do we need to send a posse of explainers to the field commands in order to get the desired reaction and required high standards of exe- cution.

Keep your opposing ideas coming to me, else I'll re- main in the decision-making business but a short time. No alternatives - no other way to do it - no decisions re- quired.

Endin Many of us will complete our larine Corps active duty

this, year. But keep on we must, each to his last day, that we may

individually and collectively provide for our successors a sharpened share, a clean mold hoard, a ready team, and an honorable and unmistakably marked guide-post for the furrows of the future.

A happy and successful 1963 to all hands.

locked over Church College, 5-64, as was to be expected. he local team from Laie has Zen out-classed all year, but ayed game ball. Thursday night at Bloch rena, the 'Necks became the ly team besides second-

lace ServPac to dump the ague champs, SubPac. Good ball handling and

.amwork paid off for the arines as they upset SubPac

an 84-78 triumph. In a game that saw the

;core tied 12 times and neither team ahead at any time more than four points. the 'Necks kept the fans on the edges of their seats the length of the game. The Marines led at the half.

the score was tied for the 12th and last time with 3:45 left in the game. Fred Walz dropped a free throw to break the tie and SubPac never caught up again.

Joedy Gardner and Fred Walz each scored 19. Mary Franklin had 13 while Ron Johnston and Jim Weathers- by each had 11.

Bob Gaillard led SubPac scoring with 25 points.

Last Friday night, the Necks met fourth-place Ilickam in ilangar 103 for the final game of the Hawaiian Armed Forces Senior Invitational League.

The Flyers' coach and some players argued a lot, but played no better ball than they had earlier in the season. Ilickam's arguments with

the officials cost them a num- ber of technical fouls which helped neither the score nor the Flyers' morale.

The score was tied twice early in the game at 2-2 and 6-6. After the first four min- utes the 'Necks pulled stead- ily ahead to lead by as much as 14 points at times. Ilickam trailed at the half,

55-43.

The second half was no dif- ferent with Hickam never coming closer than eight points from the lead.

With a comfortable 103- 86 lead and less than two minutes left, coach Ron Johnston let as many Hawaii Marines as possible into the game. Final score was 105-91. Ron Johnston led scoring

with 30 points, trailed by Joe- dy Gardner with 27, Jim Weathersby with 16 and Fred Walz's 14 and Wendall Hall's 11

Win 3 Firsts

At Schofield K-Bay wrestlers grappled

their way to three first places in last Saturday's Military open wrestling meet at Scho- field Barracks.

T h e planned four-to-five hour event extended to almost nine hours of wrestling to ac- commodate all entries.

SSgt. Chuck Vigil, HqCo., 4th Marines, made short work of his competition In the 2131,2-lb class. His first opponent failed to

show, giving Vigil the bout by forfeit. The other three op- ponents he met were pinned in a total elapsed time of 312 minutes for the three matches, giving Vigil first place in his class.

LCpl. Ray A. Bruck, HqCo. ServBn, placed first in the 154-1b. class, winning four of his five matches.

Bruck averaged 15 sec- onds apiece to pin his first two opponents. He also pin- ned the next two to sew up first place in his class. Taking thing: a little too

easy in his fifth match, Bruck lost by a decision.

"Bruck has only been wrest- ling a couple of weeks," said K-Bay wrestling coach, 2dLt. M. B. Rogers, "but I think he could place in the Nationals right now."

LCpl. J. L. Ragsdale, H&HS, also took first place with four wins and a loss in the 138124b. class.

He pinned three opponents and won one decision. His only loss was also by decision.

John E. Prieve, HN, MCAS Disp., took third in the 138''2 - lb. class.

"In many classes, parti- cularly the 138-lb., we wound u p wrestling ourselves," commented coach Rogers. Pfc. "Red" Reichley, A-

Aku Marine Club Soundings' By Frank Green

The semi-annual election of club officers was held at last week's meeting of the Aku Marines.

Election results brought into office lstLt. William Br anne r, president; Cpl. Gerald Bergette, vice presi- dent; GySgt. Ernest Baker, secretary and Sgt. John Bermoy, master-at-arms.

In 1963, the Aku Marines will strive to maintain their perfect safety record as they have since the club was form- ed in 1955.

This outstanding record can only be attributed to excellent training and the attention to the safety rules in force in the club.

The training program of the Aku Marines is both ex- tensive and thorough.

In starting the new year, the Aku Marines would like to extend an invitation to all military persons and their de- pendents to attend the mett- ings and see for themselves what a great skin and scuba diving club KMCS has.

get up to this point you may Plan on it this weekend.

By SSgt. Jim Di Bernardo The Station Skeet Range -

onc of K-Bay's many Special- Services facilities - is oper- ated and maintained strictly for weekend shooting enjoy- ment and recreation.

However, at present only a small percentage of K-Bay Ma- rines take advantage of this in- expensive and interesting sport.

Located near the main gate, the range is open every Saturday and Sunday from to 4 p.m. All equipment is provided for the nominal price of 81.

What do you get for that buck?

An automatic shotgun, 25 shells and 25 chances to test your reactions and skill against a "clay pigeon" in flight.

Basically, skeet shoo t- ing consists of taking pot shots at these pigeons as they are launched. For those of you who have

never seen the sport, here's a general rundown of what to expect:

The eight firing positions or stations are situated in a semi- circle between two skeet traps or "houses."

The "high" house on the shooter's left is elevated ap- proximately 10 feet, while the "low" on the right is about three feet above the ground. Starting at the first station

near the high house, you fire at two clay discs, or "pigeons," which are thrown on your com- mand of "mark" and "pull."

The first pigeon is thrown from the high house and trav- els a: nost directly away from you.

The second comes from

CG's OP I've made it a practice to call in and interview most of

the men from this Brigade who are being processed for UD's. I've been interested in trying to find how and when these men got off the track and started down the hill of failure

The great majority have admitted to me that in their early youth and before they enlisted that they use to go to S lay Sol I or Church. Then they got out of the habit for some reason or another. None could be specific as to why they quit.

Freedom of worship - or not to worship - is one of the cornerstones of our way of life and our democracy.

In combat or when the chips are down it is usual that many more troops turn out for services, wherever they may he -- on the deck of a ship, in ^ "1T of trees, or a bombed-out school - than when in peacetime garrison.

Why wait until then, however, to prepare your way? You don't wait until then to learn to shoot, take cover, patrol at night or any of the other things you need to know or do to he a combat-ready Marine.

Reach in your pocket and pull out a coin. Any coin. Get one of each denomination if you can. Look at each one closely.

What appears on each and every one of them? IN GOD WE TRUST. If your country does, why don't you? Come on to church. There are plenty of seats.

Local Tsunami Rumors and Panic Often

Result of False Beliefs; Here Are Facts By SSgt Al Steele

When the coastal sirens of Oahu wail their high-pitched warning-alerting the people of Hawaii of a possible tidal wave - thousands of newcom- ers to the islands are thrown into panic, not knowing what to expect.

"They travel a thousand miles an hour." "The last one was 200 feet high." "It's going to hit in three minutes." The Pali is the oniy safe place." "Someone told me.. " On and on fly the rumors of the pos- sible disaster-to-be.

These are the facts on tidal waves-more properly termed tsunamis-that have come to the shores of Hawaii in the past 143 years.

The name tsunami is applied to a long period gravity wave in the ocean caused by a sud- den displacement of the sea bottom or shores. A tsunami is accompanied by an earth- quake, but not caused by it. Both are caused by the same sudden crustal displacement.

The tsunami which struck the shores of the Hawaiian Islands on the morning of Apr. 1, 1946, was the roost destruc- tive and one of the most vio- lent in history. More than 150 people were killed, principally by drowning and at least 161 others were injured.

Hilo had more than 13 hours to prepare. However, many lives were lost and property damage was estimated in the millions. Damage to Oahu was non-existant.

More locally, the Air Sta- tion was struck by a tsunami on April Fool's Day in 1947. The waves reached the height of 22 feet at North Beach and 17 feet in the eastern side of the Station.
