The sound of the helicopter’s rotor blades echoed over the tree canopy announcing the aircraft’s arrival. The Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion churned hard against the evening’s humid air, and raised a gust of wind and de-bris over Training Landing Zone Phoenix as it prepared to lift its simulated cargo July 24.
The seven Marines on the ground make up a Heli-copter Support Team from Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group. Another storm was descending upon Holly Ridge, N.C., so they needed to move quickly.
This training represented an important part of the unit’s forward deployed capabilities: supplying troops in Afghanistan with transportable goods regardless of weather conditions.
“It’s extremely vital,” said Sgt. Kip Buedel, a land-ing support specialist with the battalion. “Where I was (in Afghanistan), we had to make sure these things hap-pened no matter what the weather was or what was going on in the outlying areas.”
The wind from the rotor blades created a rippling sea in the field of grass and washed over Cpl. Nash Helms, the team leader. He braced himself against the gust of wind and stood ready to grasp the ropes used to secure the cargo to the helicopter.
“When the bird first comes toward you, you feel that gust of wind, and it’s a shock to your system,” said Helms. “You’re getting prepared. Then all of a sudden it’s calm, and you’re sitting underneath the bird.”
The helicopter’s body shielded members of the team as they attached a thick metal beam to the aircraft to simulate the weight and bulk of military cargo. Members of the team linked ropes from the beam to the aircraft. Helms cautiously guided the ropes through the process to prevent them from entangling the helicopter and loading crew.
Strong wind and debris are not the only hazards the crew trains to defeat. The Super Stallion is capable of producing up to 200,000 volts of static electricity and can be fatal, said Helms. That is why the team trains to prop-erly ground the aircraft. A “static” man tames the current with a grounding pole as the rest of the team guides the aircraft and attaches the cargo.
The lifting capability of the Super Stallion not only generates raw electrical power, but its external load-bear-ing ability bridges many of the logistical challenges Ma-rines face in the field.
“A lot of this is very important to some of the more

As Marines shouted “look left, look right, back blast area all se-cure … Rocket!” an earth shaking bang echoed through the trees as shoulder-launched multipurpose as-sault weapons were fired at dummy tanks.
Marines from 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Di-vision shot SMAWs as part of their training aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune July 24.
The purpose of the training was to refresh the weapons platoon Marines with the SMAW and to let those Marines, such as mortarman,
machine gunners and up and com-ing assaultman who never shot the weapon, get the training as well.Before firing, the Marines ran through dry runs to practice fir-ing, loading, unloading and what the remedial action is if there is a misfire.
“This training is extremely bene-ficial especially for the Marines who don’t get a chance to do stuff like this often, if ever,” Staff Sgt. Eu-gene Carle Jr., a weapons platoon sergeant and the range safety offi-cer, said. “I was on my second en-listment before I ever shot a SMAW, so I’m glad I can get these Marines out here early on to shoot a weapon like this so they get the training and
experience needed.”Once they were finished with
dry runs they shot spotting rounds at the tanks to make sure they were on target. They then loaded the 83mm rockets and began firing at the objective.
“We don’t do training like this too often. When we can we try and have fun with it, and make it a good learn-ing experience for all the Marines,” said Carle.
For Marines like Cpl. Brandyn Burke, an assault section leader, it was his last chance to give back what was taught to him. He is trying to make a lateral move to the explosive ordnance

Marine Corps Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is offering safety training for all active duty military and appropriated and non-appropriated civilian employees who are required to operate off-road vehicles in the performance of their duties. If you own a dirt bike, all terrain vehicle or a utility terrain ve-hicle you owe it to yourself to learn to operate it safely. Enroll in the Mo-torcycle Safety Foundation Dirt Bike Course or the ATV/UTV course. Both courses are hands-on and pro-vided by a licensed instructor. These courses offer students an opportunity to increase their safety knowledge and to practice basic riding skills in a controlled environment.
Dirt bike safety: Dirt bikes can be fun and exciting. One thing you must keep in mind is that the limits and ca-pabilities of your dirt bike are based on the level of your riding skills. Take your time and learn the basics before attempting anything extreme. Only time can give you experience
and develop your riding skills. ATV/UTV Safety: These off-road
machines have become popular for work and play. Unfortunately, mis-haps resulting in serious injury and death have increased along with their popularity. Most of these mishaps can be attributed to the improper use of the vehicle, reckless behavior and disregard for responsible operation of the vehicle. Operating an ATV or UTV should be done in safe and re-sponsible manner.
Here are a few safety tips to get started on developing your dirt bike or ATV or UTV riding skills.
- Always perform a pre-ride inspec-tion of your dirt bike, ATV or UTV.
- Don’t go riding alone, and carry a first aid pack and tool kit with you.
- Wear bright-colored clothing to increase visibility to others.
- Use a ramp for loading and un-loading to avoid back injuries.
- Don’t ride off-road vehicles that are too tall or powerful for your capabilities.
- Watch for hidden obstacles in sandy, snowy or muddy conditions.
- Stay off public highways. - Avoid following too closely be-
hind another rider.- Never ride while under the influ-
ence of alcohol or other drugs.- Never carry a passenger on an
off-road vehicle designed for a single rider.
- No child under the age of 8 should operate an ATV or UTV. Chil-dren ages 8 through 15 must be super-vised by a person 18 years of age or older.
- Children ages 8 through 11 should only operate an ATV or UTV with an engine size of 70 cc or less and chil-dren ages 12 through 15 should stay under 90 cc’s.
To register for either course: Go online to navymotorcyclerider.com or contact the MCIEast-MCB Camp Lej Safety Department at 451-5725. To register in person, stop by the safety department at building 58 located on Virginia Dare Dr.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTNaval Hospital Camp Lejeune
Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune’s Pediatrics Clinic is scheduled to re-locate in August - a move affecting more than 8,000 patients, as part of the hospital’s ongoing construction and renovation project.
Beginning Aug. 20 patients will access four temporary modular buildings from the back of the main patient parking lot, near the front of the hospital compound. Signs will be posted, and sailors will be on hand to direct patients to the new pediatrics clinic location.
Patients should expect to check-
in for their appointment in the modular unit designated as the re-ception area. Front desk personnel there will provide instructions on where to report next for the actual visit with the provider. Three mod-ular units surrounding the recep-tion area will serve as the clinical area with a pediatric team in each module.
As always, the Naval Hospi-tal parking lot shuttle is available Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Pa-tients can call 451-3079 to arrange concierge shuttle service from their vehicle to the hospital and back to their vehicle after the appointment.
No changes are planned to clini-
cal hours or operations at this time. Although temporary, the four mod-ular units are more spacious than the usual Pediatric Clinic spaces. To schedule an appointment in the Pediatrics Clinic patients may call 450-4357 (HELP) or the Pediatrics Clinic directly at 450-4500.
Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune cares for more than 120,000 benefi-ciaries, including active-duty mili-tary personnel, retirees and their family members. As a teaching and research facility, we offer award-winning health care by the most highly qualified primary care man-agers, specialty physicians, medical staff and health care personnel in the country.

“Fire Mission. Marines, get to your guns,” yelled Sgt. Jacob B. Elliot, a mortar section lead-er with 81mm mortar platoon, Weapons Company, 2nd Battal-ion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division.
Cpl. Jeremiah Fernandez from the Fire Direction Control yelled grid coordinates, which, in return the Marines repeated loudly so no one has an excuse. “Gun Two, deflection, two, seven, zero, zero,” the FDC Marine yelled. “Roger. Two, seven, zero, zero,” yelled Cpl. David Rohwer, the Gun Two leader.
Gun Two shoots first, as the other two gun positions refer to their corrections, ensuring all posi-tions are parallel.
Fernandez yells out more de-scriptive coordinates to the Gun
Two Marines, to which, Rohwer repeats, “Gun Two, deflection. Three, one, seven, eight, charge two. Elevation, one, two, four, niner.” Rohwer’s Marines send rounds down range.
The Marines with 81mm mortar platoon repeated the fire mission throughout their first day of train-ing. They spent July 24 through 26 at MP-2 and MP-3 ranges, using the crawl, walk, run methodology.
From the outside looking in, accurately placing indirect mortar fire on enemy positions, where in most situations Marines can’t see the enemy, looks tough enough.
The “infantrymen’s artillery,” as the mortar community is some-times referred to, is responsible for assisting advancing infantry ground units in any situation deemed unsustainable.
“It’s not that hard,” said Lance Cpl. Adam Flores, a mortarman with the platoon. “Obviously, if
you do something over and over again, it comes (naturally) to you.”
The next two days became mul-tifaceted, as the platoon integrated a myriad of scenarios.
“We are making this as complex as possible,” said 1st Lt. William Peek, the platoon’s commander. “We put new forward observers in the (observation) towers. They are the eyes and ears. They are learn-ing to assess the battlefield, call in fire missions, assess the fire mis-sions, and make adjustments from there.
“We took the Marines who had a good grasp of the mortar firing systems and put them in those po-sitions,” Peek continued.
Also, the battalion, hasn’t de-ployed since 2010 and this training helps keep the Marines proficient as noncombat-related deployments

CPL. KENNETH JASIK Regional Command Southwest
After a successful deployment as the commanding officer of Marine Corps Logistics Com-mand (Forward), Col. Christo-pher J. Michelsen relinquished command to Lt. Col. Matthew S. Cook, who will now be in charge of the unit’s responsibilities to support International Security Assistance Forces and Marine Corps Forces Central Command with logistical support.
“Marine Corps Logistics Command’s mission is to sus-tain the (Marine Air Ground
Task Force) with operational lo-gistics support,” said Michelsen. “In addition to that, we do other missions directed by MarCent, and support the commandant’s reset strategy via the reset, rede-ployment and retrograde.”
The role of MCLC (Fwd.) has expanded throughout the last six months with the drawdown of troops.
In accordance with the com-mandant’s reset strategy, MCLC (Fwd.) is helping decrease the Marine Corps’ presence in Af-ghanistan and increasing their workload because of drawdowns throughout the country. They
keep Marines supplied with items such as vehicles and parts while making sure the units still deployed have what they need, said Michelsen.
The Marines control many moving parts, with several units leaving Afghanistan. Because it is their role to see that their gear leaves as well, MCLC (Fwd.) grew about four times in man-power during Michelson’s de-ployment to help with the dra-matic increase of their activity.
“We grew substantially in size,” said Michelsen. “From a small handful of Marines and contractors to an organiza-
tion of almost 400 personnel in strength. While growing in size, we have refined our processes on how we manage equipment.”
The Marines who make up MCLC (Fwd.) are sourced from all parts of the Marine Corps.
“They built a great team and I’m looking forward to the next few months,” said Cook, dur-ing his speech at the ceremony. “There’s going to be a lot of changes, but the team Col. Mi-chelsen built will be able to perform more than the task at hand.”
With the increase in work, the personnel have been refin-
ing their methods to increase efficiency.
“The Marines and the con-tractors have performed mar-velously,” said Michelsen. “In tough environmental conditions, they’ve worked extremely hard, and they have done a great job in maintaining tight procedures.”
Michelsen has enjoyed being a part of MCLC (Fwd.) at such a crucial time in their legacy.
“It’s an honor and a pleasure to command such an organiza-tion, and I’m humbled every day to work with such a strong team of Marines and contractors,” he said.

PFC. FRANKLIN MERCADO2nd Marine Logistics Group
Marines from 6th and 8th Engineer Support Battalions tested their forward deployed capabilities during a week-long exercise July 23 through 27.
While deployed to places like Afghanistan, engineer support Marines provide ser-vice members with potable water used for drinking and cooking, water for showers and other hygiene stations, as well as repair driving routes that are regularly used by heavy up-armored vehicles.
During their training exer-cise, they purified thousands of gallons of water and set up eight showers near Mile Ham-mock Bay, a training area ad-jacent to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. They also im-proved about one mile of road at Onslow Beach.
Together, the battalions
set up a Tactical Water Puri-fication System and a Light-Weight Water Purification System to pump clean wa-ter into tanks. There were three 20,000-gallon and two 50,000-gallon tanks that had to be filled.
“We have a lot of water to pump, and they’re really helping us,” said Lance Cpl. Mario MedenaValdez, a wa-ter support technician with 8th ESB, on the third day of training. “We’re working well together. We have 37,000 gal-lons of water already, so we’re setting a good pace.”
Marines from both battal-ions completed the mission as if they’d been working together for longer than the beginning of the week.
“Sixth ESB has stepped up and helped us out with this exercise,” said 1st Lt. Lennie Jackson, the Engineer Support Company executive officer. “With (most of) 8th ESB deployed now, we are
limited in the number of per-sonnel we have.”
The training is not only helping 8th ESB meet train-ing requirements, but it’s helping prepare the Marines of 6th ESB for Afghanistan. They are slated to deploy in the upcoming months.
“They’re doing an out-standing job,” Capt. Donald Galloway, the ES company commander, said about the Marines of 6th ESB. “They are very motivated.”
Throughout the training both battalions kept motiva-tion and work ethic at a high level. The unit’s showed they are truly capable of perform-ing multiple missions at the same time.
There was no better time for 6th ESB to prove they are capable of taking the reins upon arriving in Afghani-stan, with the battalion tak-ing authority from 8th ESB’s forward deployed element. They seized the opportunity.

Napoleon once referred to ar-tillery as the king of the battle-field. That’s how Marines with Battery F, 2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 6, look at their de-ployment.
Battery F operated in Kajaki for about four months, firing their Howitzers, providing base security and conducting patrols to the Ka-jaki District Center for key leader engagements.
“We provide direct support for 1st Bn., 8th Marines and 2nd Bn., 5th Marines,” said Sgt. Tucker J. Ward, section chief, Battery F.
“We’ve fired all kinds of artillery for them. In case they get in situa-tions they can’t get out of, we will drop a smoke screen or (high ex-plosives) on a target for them.”
For many of the Marines, de-ploying with Battery F is an excit-ing opportunity because artillery Marines don’t usually get the op-portunity to fire in the volumes seen in Kajaki.
“We don’t fire every day,” said Tucker. “Sometimes there are days where we fire a whole lot.”
While the fire missions are helping infantry Marines complete their missions, Battery F Marines are also conducting patrols to the nearby district center. They sup-port the Marines who regularly
meet with the district governor.“We head down to the DC ev-
ery couple of days, and while we’re there we provide security,” said Cpl. Christopher A. Turner, section chief, Battery F.
The Marines say their security mission in the district center is important, but their main role is their firing mission. They say their role is important because they are potentially saving friendly lives when they fire.
“We assisted the grunts in clear-ing out the area north of Kajaki,” said Turner. “They’ve had big op-erations in that area, and because of our support they were able to complete their missions with min-imal casualties.”

Last Thursday night, several retirees and I went to the Marine Corps League in Greenville, N.C., to attend their meet-ing. One of the retirees pre-sented a $10,000 donation to begin the Zemar Rob-erts Foundation, which was named after a corps-man who served in Iraq on several deployments. The foundation will also provide assistance with the “Home Away from Home” project, which was created to provide lodging and meals to supporting fam-ily members with spouses or children in Pitt County Memorial Hospital.
The Home Away from Home is an essential asset to many families in their most serious hours of need. Every year, dozens of ac-tive-duty service members are transferred each year to PCMH to be treated for injuries or illnesses, which are usually life-threatening. Many of the service mem-bers’ families travel many miles to Greenville, N.C. The detachment’s mission is to provide some com-fort, stability and a shoul-der to lean on and in some cases, financial assistance. Their vision is to provide a “home away from home” and let the families focus more on their injured or ill family member.
The efforts of the League began in early 2005 when detachment members became aware of a vehicle accident involv-ing an active-duty Marine. When his family members arrived, they had difficulty
paying for berthing and food, because PCMH is within 100 mile limit of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, so financial as-sistance could not be pro-vided by the command. The detachment took up a collection and paid for the berthing and meals, so the family could maximize the time with their injured loved one without distrac-tion. The detachment also recently began supporting the family members of neo-natal babies in serious distress that are medically evacuated to the pediatric unit of PCMH from Camp Lejeune, when the local Ronald McDonald House is full. This has increased the financial burden on them, but the payoff is helping many young mili-tary families in the worst time of their lives.
The detachment is usu-ally notified by staff at PCMH, MCB Camp Leje-une, or Cherry Point, when an injured service member is transported there. The detachment member works hard to make contact with the families, accommodate their needs and finding ways to acquaint them with the area. The cost to the league over the years has been more than $23 thousand dollars and has provided services to more than 131 families of Camp Lejeune. Naturally, the organization will need financial support to continue this service.

are, as Peek put it, “on the horizon.”
The platoon conducted fire missions, such as search and traverse, and suppres-sion and marking. Search and traverse fire missions are used against an enemy’s flanking or frontal move-ments with firing left or right with no range changes (traverse) and firing against a deep target with elevation changes without changes to direction (search).
Suppression and mark-ing is simply, as Peek put it, “You have an enemy anti-aircraft system in one area and an enemy tank in the other. Mortarmen will sim-ply engage the anti-aircraft system and mark next to the tank for friendly air sup-port to take the tank out.”
Early July 25, the Ma-rines knew they were go-ing to receive a fire mission while on patrol, but Flores said it didn’t matter what type, they just needed to get off the road and set up their mortar firing systems fast and effectively. The Marines were on a patrol known as hip shoots, as the saying goes, “shooting from the hip.”
It was reminiscent from the day prior, minus the de-liberate pause, the allotted
time to set up their gun po-sitions once they dismount-ed their seven-ton vehicles. The Marines, nearing the next range with only about 100 feet to go, heard “Fire mission!” from Fernandez and sprinted toward the fir-ing line – all carrying com-ponents of the mortar firing system.
The Marines had to quickly set up, knowing the FDC Marines were receiv-ing grid coordinates from the FOs in the observation tower.
“If this were Afghani-stan, we’d have to dig pits around our positions all the time,” said Flores. “We have to, essentially, (battles-ite zero) the guns with com-passes to take the error out. After that, we receive our coordinates and fire. Ev-ery time this weapon fires, it moves – which doesn’t make much of a difference. If it moves too much, we have to readjust.
“You move with a sense of urgency, though, because Marines could be pinned down ahead of us and are depending on us,” he add-ed. “We have to depend on the FO, because we can’t see the targets. Marines are getting shot at, so we have to do it right.”

disposal field soon. “I plan on trying to move over to (Explosive Ordnance
Disposal), so this is one of the last field exercises I will get a chance to do. I want to pass on everything I know,” said Burke. “I enjoyed spending time with 2nd Bn., 2nd Marines, but it will be sad leaving them. I have learned a lot being here.”
After the training was finished and the last rocket fired, the Marines gathered around to discuss what went well and to thank the Marines who assisted the junior Marines in teaching them the basics.

remote outposts where they can’t normally truck goods in on the roads,” said Buedel. Super Stallions offer swift trans-port solutions for medical supplies, food, ammunition and vital equipment such as vehicles, which cannot be transport-ed inside the helicopters.
The helicopter hoisted their first set of simulated sup-plies and tilted forward. Sand pecked the exposed areas of the team’s skin as the wash from the departing aircraft once more engulfed the Marines.
Dark clouds crept over the clearing, and the Super Stal-lion swung its cargo above the woods, turned and headed back onto the field where the team detached the load and prepared to start again.
Precision and coordination come with time and repeti-tion. Buedel, who performed similar operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, concluded by saying each flight at TLZ Phoe-nix was an opportunity to sharpen the team’s performance.

Marine keeps security at forefront on Camp LeatherneckSGT. JAMES MERCURE Regional Command Southwest
After three de-ployments as an infantry ma-chine gunner, Sgt. Perry M.
Boykin wanted nothing more than to get back to the fight. So when an opportunity to head to Afghanistan as an individ-ual augment came his way, he jumped at the chance.
Now operating as the secu-rity manger noncommissioned officer, Boykin is responsible for screening appropriate secu-rity clearances and controlling the flow of sensitive informa-tion within the Regional Com-mand Southwest compound.
“I’ll take the request for our computer network, and judge
whether or not it should be ap-proved,” said Boykin. “Our of-fice maintains the security of this compound. Whether it’s physical security or network security, we take care of it.”
Transitioning from his role as a combat-hardened infantry squad leader to working as a se-curity manager has been a chal-lenge for Boykin, but he takes the same “grunt” work ethic to his new role.
“You have to be meticulous with the job,” said Boykin. “You have to be stern and con-fident as well because if you al-low people to walk all over you, the security of this compound is compromised, and I won’t let that happen.”
During previous deployments with the 13th and 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit as well as
with 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, Boykin learned how to lead in any situation.
“On the MEU, my guys and I taught the Jordanian Army how to shoot, move and com-municate, and we also taught the Indonesian Marines the same principles of war fight-ing,” Boykin said. “Anytime we went through pirated wa-ters on ship, our section would man the machine gun posts and wait to see if any would-be pi-rates would be dumb enough to try something,” he said with a laugh.
“In Iraq, we patrolled hun-dreds of times doing every-thing from killing bad guys to protecting a school while it was being built for Iraqi children,” Boykin added.
Following the long-standing
tradition of military service in his family, Boykin always knew he wanted to be part of the mil-itary. But he joined the Marine Corps to have a more challeng-ing life.
“I joined the military to follow my family tradition. I joined the Marine Corps for the challenge, and I joined the infantry because I wanted to fight. I became a machine gun-ner because it seemed the like the hardest part of the infantry but definitely the most fun,” Boykin said.
A husband and father of two, Boykin still finds time while deployed to make time for his family.
“I talk with my daughters as often as I can. The best advice I can give them is to listen to their mom and to help out as
much as they can while daddy is away,” Boykin said. “I miss them, but what we do out here is important, and they will hopefully understand when they’re older.”
Boykin, who has almost eight years in the Corps, has his sights set on staying in for at least 20 years and hopes to earn the rank of infantry weap-ons officer, also known as the gunner, within his job field.
“I love the Marine Corps, I love what it stands for, and I couldn’t imagine not leading Marines,” Boykin said. “I want to head to the (School of Infan-try) next year as an instructor, so I can set the new Marines up to succeed. If I can teach them the same professional way I was taught, then I’ll know I’ve made a difference.”

Everybody needs a method for letting loose. Whether you shake off the pressures of the day by spending time with family or go on a jog at the end of your workday, the abil-
ity to unwind is something our bodies require.For some couples, spending the evening curled
up on the sofa watching TV, talking or play-ing games is the best way to relax after a day of work. Others, however, like to be more active.
While Marine Corps Community Services aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune offers a wide variety of programs to patrons, athletes flock to the intramural volleyball program for
it’s co-ed-friendly environment.“It’s nice to have something to do together,” said
Cpl. Raeford Griffin, a member of 2nd Maintenance Battalion. “My wife and I like the ability to be on
the same team and that we get to stay active together while we participate.”
Griffin and his wife, who both play for the intra-mural team Spiked Punch, started their quest to the intramural volleyball program by seeking out events they could participate in together, as well as things that would

101 Days of Summer ChallengeSTANDINGS AS OF JULY 27
I’m sure you noticed it this week. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune was buzzing about the Olympics.
Tweets, Facebook posts and other social media outlets were full of Marine Corps and Jacksonville pride as many cheered on MCB Camp Lejeune’s own Olympian, Sgt. Jamel Herring, co-captain of the USA Boxing Team.
When Herring stepped into the ring for Tuesday’s 32-round elimination, the public affairs office aboard base was shaking with excitement. We shameless cheered and shouted at the screen as Herring prepared for his bout with Kazakhstan boxer Daniyar Yeleussinov.
From the start, Herring fought hard. He danced lightly, kept his gloves up and his head still, and trained his eyes on the prize. While it wasn’t enough when the gloves came off and the final score of 19-9 was announced, with Yeleussinov as the winner, Herring’s journey to London spoke louder than the score on the screen.
Life is not always a lazy Sun-day afternoon stroll in a meadow. Sometimes, of course, we experi-ence moments of sheer elation. Other times, life feels more akin to climbing a craggy rock-face, with only pebbles to hold onto. It is the
climb, however, that shows the true colors of the belayer holding on for dear life.
It takes strength to keep your nails dug in when you feel the pres-sure of the world starting to affect your every move. When you take a punch, and you can’t defend your-self quick enough, it’s easy to feel let down. When you know others are depending on you and waiting with crossed fingers, it’s easy to feel like you let everybody else down as well.
What most people overlook in moments like these - when life has you clinging to edge, hoping to hold on for a while longer, wanting to take another step forward and battle the beast in front of you – is some fights are not about winning. Sometimes, it’s all about the steps you took to get there.
A majority of Olympic athletes are pushed to be better every day of their lives. Their parents push them. Their teachers pressure them. They are led down a single-lane road, their future handed to them because of their talent and ability to handle the pressure placed on them. Only a select few set out with a different future in mind. Even fewer athletes choose to spend their time wearing the cloth of their nation. In that sense, Herring is already a gold medalist.
Very few Olympians have their
athletic dreams deterred by mul-tiple deployments. That weight falls on the shoulders of the select service members who have proven their strength and determination, Herring among them.
As the sole Marine on Team USA, Herring’s Olympic odyssey was fraught with steep hills and dark valleys He served two tours in Iraq. He battled the loss of his infant daughter. He trained his way through injuries and moments of frustration. Through it all, he stepped into the ring every day with his head held high and deter-mination unique to The Few and The Proud.
Every person worth their salt can appreciate the climb. The grind to get where you’re going is never easy. Even when you’re lying on the ground, feeling defeated and panting for breath, you can recog-nize the importance of the journey.
It’s easy to feel strong when you’re walking through a meadow. When moments of hardship come though, and you’re facing a tough loss, you have to rely on the people around to remind you, you are still victorious.

I spent last weekend hunting for bait. For two days I sat on Emerald Isle with a five-gallon bucket, 12-foot cast net and sand spike. The Coast Guard Channel was full of bait but very little was feeding on it, lending me some excellent bait catches.
On day one of bait fishing, I was disap-pointed. I worked the channel for flounder with finger mullet on a Carolina Rig but did not catch anything. On day two, I caught a plethora of bait-sized mullet. After proceeding to the west end of the point, I spent time casting and walking with the current, hop-ing to lure in a fish large enough to keep.
After two days of disappointment, I took my bait-filled bucket and trekked east to the many
sandbars between the point and the Point Emer-ald Villas. I also fished near the Vehicle sandbar, Bob’s, the Bogus sandbar and sev-eral others. I was down to my last live mullet when I felt a subtle pick-up and short runoff. I quickly set the hook, knowing a drum was on the other end.
Unlike Span-ish mackerel or bluefish, which take control of the hooks and swim as far away from the shore as possible, drum are famous for their subtle bites and for running parallel to the shoreline. After 20 minutes of back and forth, the drum tired, and I waited for a wave powerful enough to pull it in. It was 28 inches long and close to 10 pounds. After a quick photo opportunity, I released the drum back into the ocean, feeling slightly more accomplished with my day’s work than I did hours before.
When it comes to general fishing, there are some short drum in the marshes and speckled trout in the Neuse River. Areas like Turnagain Bay and Adams Creek were
full of fish last weekend. New River had some drum and flounder. The speckled trout catch bodes well for strong fall and winter seasons.
Flounder catches are best on the offshore reefs but a few showed up along the Intracoastal Waterway bridges. The Morehead City Port Wall was another strong spot for flounder and sheep-shead. There were also flounder being landed at the Fort Macon rock jetties last weekend along with sea mullet and pompano.
I’m happy to report the king mackerel catch is starting to liven up. The reappearance of the king mackerel is most likely due to school of men-haden swimming along the beach. King mack-erel were caught near the Beaufort Shipping Chan-nel and Sea Buoy, as well as the Northwest Places. I also heard of some king mackerel on the east side of the Lookout Shoals.
Speaking of big fish, there are a lot of tarpon along the Crystal Coast. A number of sightings and hook-up locations are the fishing piers, and in the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound area, ac-cording to reports from last week. These strong bites bode well for the up-coming Oriental Rotary
Tournament this autumn.While the king mack-
erel bite is strong, the Spanish mackerel bite is up and down. The fish are still swimming in deep waters. Most of them are in 30 to 40 feet of water, hooked on live peanut pogys or mullet.
Finally, I have a pier update. Oceanana Pier reported small spots and sea mullet last weekend. Bogue Pier reported a wide variety of summer fish but no consistent catches of one particular species. Seaview Pier reported no king mack-erel, a few speckled trout, small sea mullet and spots, as well as drum and flounder. The Surf City Pier reported a 30-inch drum, a few large Spanish mackerel, sheep-shead and some flounder.
Bad weather and heavy winds continue to keep anglers from getting into the open waters and do-ing any offshore fishing. Remember safety is more important than fun. Stay close to the shoreline for now and wait for the weather to pass.

Beach wrestling isn’t the typical format for wrestlers who spend their days in an indoor ring.
Even so, members of the All-Marine Wrestling Team proved the old add-age “Never underestimate the power of the under-dog” when they took part in the Beach Nationals
Wrestling Championships in Rochester, New York, recently.
For wrestlers more acquainted with greco-ro-man wrestling than beach wrestling, the tournament
was a new and exciting experience.
When Maj. J. Dan-iel Hicks, All-Marine Wrestling Team coach, traveled with members of the team to compete
in the tournament, his expectations were for his wrestlers to compete well and walk away from the championship having learned and bettered their skills. What he got was much more.
On the first day of competition at the cham-pionships, the All-Marine team left the sandy ring with champions in their midst. Cpl. D.J. Simmons won seven matches and finished the day with a gold medal. In route to his win, Simmons de-feated a two-time world bronze medal winner, a major accomplishment for anybody at the tournament.
“It’s not a little thing to beat somebody who is a world-wide, interna-tional bronze-medal win-ner,” said Hicks. “It goes
to show how much hard work and dedication goes into the gym when guys like Simmons get in here and get serious.”
In addition to Sim-mons’ gold-medal win, Cpl. Charles Fish took home a gold medal, win-ning five rounds in the 264-pound weight class. During his quest to con-trol the ring, Fish defeat-ed the reigning three-year champion, and partici-pated in the bench press competition, where he pressed 425 pounds, earn-ing himself a second gold medal in the 250-pound and under division.
Cpl. C.J. Myers finished day one of the tournament with a silver medal, winning six of his seven rounds, with his

Service members dig in their heels at Grand Prix’s Sand-Sational 8K run2ND LT. SARAH BURNSMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Onslow Beach has seen its’ fair share of strange beach attire, but the people who flocked to the beach July 21 ditched the flip-flops and laced up their running shoes for the Sand-Sational 8k Beach Run sponsored by Marine Corps Commu-nity Sports, part of the Grand Prix series.
The gun went off at the official start time of 7 a.m., sending a record mass of participants across the hard-packed sand for roughly five miles and what turned out to be truly a ‘fun run.’
“This is the most we’ve ever had (at the Sand-Sational Beach Run),” explained Mike Marion, race coordinator for MCCS. Approximately 450 runners of all ages registered for the event, and 372 completed the course, according to active.com.
Seven-year old Mark Myers took home a few awards from the race including first place in his division and a team award by completing the course with a time of 47 minutes 22 sec-onds, equating to about a 9:41 mile pace. While he showed true talent
running on the beach, his real fitness passion is fu-eled with dirt.
“I like the mud runs,” said Myers, who also competed in the Grand Prix series race, ‘Mud, Sweat and Tears five mile run’ last May.
He ran as a member of The Yard Athletic Fitness Club, a team coached by his dad. The team is made up of 6 to 8-year-olds who train twice a week doing CrossFit type, high-intensity workouts mixed with team building and character discussions.
His training showed results as two of his runners, Mark Myers and Tristan Carmichael, earned multiple awards in the race. “They’re awe-some. I’m just so proud of them,” Myers said.
The boys weren’t the only ones to win more than one award Saturday morning. Lt Col. Denise Mull, Combat Logistics Battalion 2 commander, and Col. Henry Mull, II Marine Expeditionary Force Admin-istrative chief of staff, both earned awards in the individual and team categories, all while wear-ing the barefoot
running-toe shoes.The two have been
running together since the Marine Corps Mara-thon 13 years ago. The combination of four mar-athons apiece plus time and hard pavement took its toll on their running finesse until the popular-ity and healing powers of the barefoot shoe arrived. “I love them. I’ve ran two marathons in them and a host of half marathons,” said Denise. “They’re really good for you structure. We were having back and knee pains, and it all went away.”
“I started running barefoot on the beach on weekends and transi-tioned to these shoes, said Henry. “ And now, no problems.”
Whether it be an outstanding drive or the shoes to keep them running, their accomplish-ments Saturday were admirable. Denise deployed
to Afghanistan the week after the race with the next running event on her schedule being the Marine Corps Marathon at Camp Leatherneck this fall.
In the United States, The Marine Corps Mara-thon in Washington DC will be pleased to have Sgt. Thomas and Cpl. Christine Kunish, the husband and wife duo of the All–Marine Marathon Team, racing in front of the crowd this fall. The couple won first overall male and female, with times of 27:37 and 33:25 respectively, and placed first in the team category.
This race was the first opportunity for the couple to compete in the same category. “It’s amazing to be here with your fam-ily,” Thomas Kunish
said while holding one of his daughters in his arms. “It’s not about win-ning, it’s about the girls seeing us running and racing, and doing this as a couple.”
Family, fun and fitness seemed to be the theme of the beachy race. Capt. Roy Fish, Law Enforce-ment Battalion, and his wife wore Kelly-green ‘Team Fish’ T-shirts while running the race. Their daughter cheered them on wearing a much smaller version of the green shirt.
“We do everything as ‘Team Fish,” explained Fish.
“But as for the com-petition, you kind of get together with people running the same pace as you, and it is good to motivate each other, keep yourself going,” said Fish’s wife. “That’s another good
thing about these races.”The event was ex-
tremely well organized, and there were plenty of refreshments to go around after the race thanks to the incredible volunteers and race organizers. Nature seemed to appreciate their efforts because the tide cooperated sparing many shoes from the waves of salt water crashing on the beach, and the weather remained cool for the run-ners and race volunteers.
The next event of the Grand Prix Series is the Cherry Point Sprint Tri-athlon Aug. 25.

only loss coming from his teammate, Simmons.
Not to be left out, Staff Sgt. Donavan Depatto competed in the 163-pound division, where he finished fourth with a record of five wins and two losses for the first day of competition.
“On the first day, we wrestled in the nationals,” explained Hicks. “The second day of competition, all four competed to participate in the world championships.”
The Beach World Team Trials were held on the team’s second day in Roch-ester. Simmons and Fish both won the divisions they competed in, while De-patto was unopposed in the 150-pound division, and Myers placed third in his group. Their combined success allowed all four to qualify for the USA Beach Wrestling Team and earned them a chance to compete in the world champi-onships in Budapest, Hungary, later this fall.
“They all had to beat out some really good opponents at this tournament,” said Hicks. “Simmons beat a two-time bronze medalist, but he’d never done beach wrestling before. All our kids were relatively new to the sport, but they’re tough and know what it takes to get to the top.”
Masters at their craft, members of the All-Marine Wrestling Team know what it takes to be the best. In prepara-tion for their tournament, they pushed through pain, injury and small setbacks; they dedicated themselves to performing the same tasks repeatedly, determined to perfect every move and position.
Since returning from the Beach Wrestling National Championships, the All-Marine Wrestling team has been busy re-adjusting to their typical Greco-Roman style of wrestling. Simmons and another member of the All-Marine team will wrestle at the Greco-Roman World Team tryouts in Colorado Springs, Colo., in August.
“The men on this team are some of the most dedicated athletes I’ve ever met,” explained Hicks. “We may not get five-star recruits in the All-Marine Wrestling team, but the Marines who come in here are strong, know what they want and know what they will have to do to get it.
“They are competitive, poised and confident,” said Hicks. “They take a lot of the Marine ethos and apply it to their daily work in the gym.”
Hicks likes to see his wrestlers suc-ceed on and off the mat. Holding onto wrestlers who join the All-Marine team, and helping them stay healthy and active is a part of his job he takes very seri-ously. One injury can end a career just as quickly as bad behavior.
“These men aren’t like every other professional wrestler in the world,” boasted Hicks. “They are Marines. They have to come back and work. They have challenges other wrestlers don’t face, and they overcome them without complain-ing. These men are asked to accomplish a lot in a very short amount of time because they have to. There is no other choice if they want to be part of this wrestling team.”

welcome the presence of their young daughter.
The Griffin’s felt the need to do more than cheer each other on at intramural games. They wanted to play together. They worked out a sys-tem with their teammates to ensure one of them was always on the bench to help care for their daughter.
“Our team is really nice about letting us work out a schedule to make sure (Raeford) or I are always out of the game,” said Griffin’s wife. “Our teammates make sure we are swapping in and out and getting playing time during games and at practice.”
The Griffin’s, as well as their teammates on Spiked Punch intramural team, spent a lot of time preparing for their intra-mural season. With only four teams in the intramu-ral program, they knew the competition would be
stiff and have to be on top of their game.
“The practices we’ve had went pretty well, and the season looks promis-ing,” said Griffin. “We’ve only been playing in the intramural league this season, but I’m looking forward to it.”
Spiked Punch, which started their season June 28, refused to be the low scorer’s of the league. Despite being beat in the first two games, they came back to win the third game 6–15, finish-ing the set strong.
In their second round of the season, they won their set by winning the first and second games of the night. The third game of their evening set took its toll, when the team lost their set to the HITT Squad.
When they took to the court July 26, their determination was un-paralleled. After being defeated in the first game
against the Imports, they came back with a vengeance, determined to prove their worth. By keeping control of the ball, they won their sec-ond game by a four point margin and their third game 15–13.
“We are enjoying the game and playing some friends on a regular basis,” explained Griffin. “It’s good to be out here as a couple, interacting and staying active on base. The co-ed aspect is a big plus, but we really just enjoy the fact the base has nice recreational activities for families to do together.”
The next round of intramural volleyball games takes place today at the Area 1 Gymnasium aboard MCB Camp Leje-une. Games begin at 6:30 and 7:30 p.m.

There are m a n y d i f f e r -ent paths leading to
the Marine Corps. There is the post-high school path, which many enlist-ed Marines follow. Some join later in life, after test-driving the college road. Others still go to college and participate in the Naval Reserve Of-ficer Training Corps, in the hopes of obtaining an officer commission.
Those who choose to participate in NROTC while in college take part in Career Orienta-tion and Training for Midshipmen after they complete their freshmen year.
CORTRAMID East takes place at various lo-cations throughout the summer months. There are four weeks in COR-TRAMID: Surface War-fare Week, Submarine Week, Marine Week
and Aviation Week, with Marine Week tak-ing place aboard Ma-rine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.
“CORTRAMID lets us get first-hand expe-rience with the four main paths the Navy has to offer by spend-ing a week in each (spe-cialized) course,” said Midshipman Rodriguez Manuel, an Atlanta na-tive currently attending Southern University. “The training so far has been outstanding.”
NROTC students from all over the coun-try attend either COR-TRAMID West or East depending on their home state. The four week cycle of training takes place all summer long, with different groups of midshipmen picking up every week.
“Midshipmen from all over the country come for their Ma-rine Week of training for CORTRAMID to give them a glance of what Marines do,” said Capt. Steven Pederson, officer of operations
for CORTRAMID. Marine Week in-

Marine instructors gave the midshipmen in-depth instruction on each section of the training. They received classes on weapon safe-ty and how to properly clear rooms before going through MOUT town, later applying the prin-ciples they were taught.
“The purpose of the training is so we can decide what service, between Navy and Ma-rine Corps, we’d like to eventually commission into,” said Manuel.

Several teens hold bright blue rifles up and peer over them, looking for the enemy. Behind them a mangled body lies on the ground with others hover-ing over it. One of the them wears a white helmet and attempts to put a tourniquet over a limb.
The tourniquet breaks. One of the smallest in the group, a thirteen-year-old, quickly pulls off her belt and offers it for use.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Joseph Williams, an en-sign within the ranks of Naval Sea Cadet Corps and its commanding officer aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, smiled brightly as he recalled his Sea Cadets’ journey through the Tactical Combat Casu-alty Care Course.
“It’s amazing how smart they are,” said Williams. “They can be so inventive.”
The Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a national program with a local branch giving young people adventure while teaching military customs and promoting good citizenship.
Being a cadet exposes them to the real world of the military. They are able to go out to sea and con-duct training in a variety of subjects from marksman-ship and photojournalism to culinary arts.
Cadets also have the opportunity to travel the world. The organization has partnerships with simi-lar programs in Australia, Russia, Hong Kong and many other countries.
However, the program is not a recruitment tool. Its main intent is to help create productive citizens, said Williams.

Since 1962 the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation has award-ed more than 30,000 recipients with over $70 million.
The MCSF celebrates its 50th year of donations and is currently the United States’ largest and oldest foundation of need-based scholar-ships for military families.
With the increasingly-steep cost of colleges, universities and techni-cal schools, the MCSF is a much needed resource for families enroll-ing for the first time. Fifty-four per-cent of the recipients are the first generation in their family to go to college.
For the 2012-2013 fiscal year the MCSF is donating more than $6 million. Such an amount may seem like a lot to some, but scholarships are allocated to 1,909 recipients, all of whom are sons and daughters of
parents killed or wounded in action, or families in financial need.
Margaret Davis, president and CEO of the MCSF, said it takes hundreds of volunteers and thou-sands of donors to make everything possible, but it’s all worth it.
“Our students we invest in tell us it makes the difference between go-ing to a college of their dreams and for some going to college at all,” said Davis. “This is a boost the students need for success in life. Without col-lege or vocational technical training, career employment is most likely out of reach.”
Sydney Mayo, a recipient of the scholarship, graduated Jacksonville High School in 2011 and currently attends High Point University, ma-joring in exercise science for physi-cal therapy.
Mayo said the Marine Corps did so much for her by giving her the op-portunity to go to school; she wants to give back through physical therapy.
“There would be no education if you didn’t have someone to fund it for you,” said Mayo. “I hope stu-dents understand as much as their parents give, people are giving back to them.”
Catalina Cotis graduated Valedic-torian from Lejeune High School’s class of 2012 and is headed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study exercise sports science.
Cotis said the foundation is very sociable and they are willing to help with more than just scholarships.
“I love that they go above and beyond,” said Cotis. “It’s more than just money. I didn’t realize how will-ing to embrace us they were and how much they’re willing to provide us with other resources.”
In another effort to help recipi-ents, Hewlett Packard and MCSF gave away 16 brand new laptops to students at a ceremony aboard MCB Camp Lejeune July 26.

LANCE CPL. SCOTT W. WHITINGMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Marines are trained to use a wide variety of weapons systems in order to be able to pick up any system and effectively utilize it. Midshipmen aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune got a taste of the different types of weapons available to Marines July 26 as part of their Career Orientation and Training for Midshipmen.
One of the four weeks of
CORTRAMID is Marine Week, during which midshipmen are aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. The last thing the midshipmen take part in during Marine Week is shooting.
The midshipmen either fired or received a class on the M16A4 rifle, M203 grenade launcher, M249 light machine gun, the M2 .50 caliber machine gun, AT4-CS light anti-armor weapon, M224 mortar system and other weap-onry. For many of the students, it was their first experience firing a rifle.
“After their freshmen year of
college, they are either a Navy op-tion or a Marine Corps option,” said Gunnery Sgt. Ryan Claunch, an assistant Marine officer instruc-tor with Duke University. “The Marine Week is to show Marine options at-a-glance, what they could be doing and to make sure it’s something they want to do. It also introduces the Navy options to the training, in case they want to possibly switch from the Navy to the Marine Corps.”
The midshipmen received train-ing on each of the weapon sys-tems from Marines who use them in their everyday lives to ensure
they were being taught accurately about each individual weapon.
“The purpose of the live firing this week is just to let (the mid-shipmen) know about every as-pect of the Marine Corps so they can set themselves up for success in whatever field they go into in the future,” said Claunch.
Midshipmen were introduced to the kick of an M16A4 rifle, the deafening boom of an AT4-CS light anti-armor weapon, and the feeling of dropping a mortar into an M224 mortar system in many cases, for the first time in their lives.
“These midshipmen experi-ence more in this week than many Marines do during the course of an entire enlistment,” said Claunch.
“It was a fun experience to be up close to some of the big-ger weapons Marines use,” said Mishipman Blake Wilson, a Vir-ginia native currently attending Xavier University.
Claunch said Marine Week, and especially firing rifles, is a sort of recruiting tool for the midshipmen to experience all the different aspect of what the Marine Corps has to offer.

A fire team of Marines rushes toward their adversary firing with every oppor-tunity and covering when overwhelmed. A combat correspondent capturing the action takes a knee to snap a photograph, and he's hit twice in the chest and once in the head.
“Man down,” yelled a Marine who witnessed his comrade go down.
Fortunately for the Marines shot, they'd be able to fight another day be-cause this battle was fought with paint-ball guns powered by compressed air.
Marines from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune gathered for a paintballing showdown coordinated by the Single Ma-rine Program, hosted at the Sportsman's Lodge in Jacksonville July 27.
The Marines arrived at 10 a.m. and many of them had sweat dripping from their faces before they even kicked off the day. The heat and humidity is never pleasant but it didn't stop the devil dogs from having a good time. The occasion was far from a bad day for these Marines. They smiled, drenched in sweat, as they pegged each other and exchanged pain.
“It feels like you're in a real firefight,” said Lance Cpl. Juanenrique Owings, a combat camera production specialist with Company H, Headquarters Battal-ion, 2nd Marine Division. “You get an adrenaline rush every time you go out there, especially with speedball. Its ag-gressive high-intensity fun, but I don't have to worry about getting killed.”
The SMP hosts many trips to offer single Marines an alternative means of
entertainment. They get to get out to do something that doesn't involve drink-ing and that's great, said Cpl. Matthew Combs, a motor vehicle operator with Truck Company, Headquarters Battal-ion, 2nd Marine Division.
“It's awesome to have the SMP, be-cause single Marines don't really have wives and kids to come home to,” said Owings. “It builds a lot of unit cohesion when the Marines get together, and it lets us know we're not alone. This was my first SMP trip, and I'm definitely go-ing to take advantage of this opportunity again.”
They bring anywhere between 30 and 60 players every time they come here, said Erik Kalnicki, the store manager with the Sportsman's Lodge.
The Marines battled each other on a playing field approximately 26 acres large, offering a variety of environments such as an urban combat town, speedball and wooded course. They were able to utilize fox holes, trenches, bunkers, build-ings and vehicles for defensive cover.
“I was a former Marine myself, so to be able to offer them a recreational outlet and a touch of training as well is great,” said Kalnicki. “The Marines are using some of the tactics they're learning and keeping up on their skills. Anytime we can help the Marine Corps or military, we're all about it.”
The Marines left the field with bruised bodies and paint splotched clothes, but from the looks on their faces, the occa-sion was enjoyable to all of them.

“It teaches discipline in a productive environment,” said Williams. “Cadets can get together with others who are in-terested in doing good and having fun.”
Members are authorized by the Navy to wear uniforms and are sponsored by the Navy League of the United States. They can earn ribbons for things like earning good grades and being physi-cally fit, and get promoted by going through training.
The Sea Cadets meet once a week for drill. They work out together and take classes. They may go on trips to the In-door Simulated Marksmanship Trainer, or go through an endurance course.
During summer and winter school breaks Sea Cadets can go to ‘boot
camp’, a nine-day or two-week experi-ence where the cadets train with others from throughout the country.
While the program teaches disci-pline, it is not a gruff environment full of stress. The instructors are volunteers who act as mentors to the children. They come from all aspects of the commu-nity, regardless of military background. Volunteers go through training and face a screening process.

CADETS FROM 1C go through the same train-ing, whether they are in-terested in the Navy or the Marine Corps, so they can decide what branch inter-ests them the most.
“It’s hard to switch op-tions after the NROTC stu-dents’ sophomore year,” said Gunnery Sgt. Ryan Claunch, an assistant Marine officer instructor with Duke University. “It requires more paperwork after two years, but tech-nically they can switch op-tions up until their junior year.”

LANCE CPL. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAKMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
It is a bodily fluid that deliv-ers oxygen and nutrients for re-plenishment. For injured service members in life-threatening situ-ations, blood can be as valuable as gold.
Marines with Headquarters and Support Battalion hoped to increase the supply of blood available to their troops by coor-dinating a competition between the companies during the Armed Services Blood Program blood drive aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune July 27.
“We've got a very large bat-talion within the Marine Corps, and it's a great source for blood donation,” said Lt Col. David Bardorf, the commanding offi-cer of HQSPTBn. “In order to maximize those donations I put
out a competition between the companies. The most important thing is we coordinated with the (ASBP) to get the much needed blood. It's always in short sup-ply, and it's a hot commodity. Anything we can do to increase the inventory of blood is some-thing we're proud to do.”
Security Company and Com-panies A, B and I participated in the battalion competition. A company must have donated a minimum of 10 pints of blood in order to be in competition.
“Marines are competitive by nature,” said Bardorf. “We had a lot of blood drives throughout the year. We got a steady stream of donations, but based on a bat-talion of this size, I thought there would be more. So what better way to get them to donate some blood, then to make it a little competition, pitting one compa-ny against another to see who's going to come out on top?”
The company that donates the most units of blood will be authorized to have a 72-hour liberty period. The liberty time will be coordinated through the company's officers in charge and directors.
Service members lined up outside of the mobile ASBP fa-cilities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and filled unit after unit of blood. Their collective efforts equates to giving another ser-vice member an irreplaceable source of aid.
“Donating blood is important because it saves lives,” said 1st Sgt. Nicole Freres, the company first sergeant with Company A, HQSPTBn. “Once you give blood, it's going to someone in need of it. It could be someone in the hospital in need of a blood transfusion. It could happen to anybody. You could be giving blood today and then tomor-row could be the one in need of
blood. It should be coming from the heart, but if you have to give them competition, the more the merrier, because Marines love competition.”
Freres smiled and concluded with words revealing the size of her heart.
“The donations can go to service members or civilians, as long as this blood is saving a life, it doesn't matter where it goes,” said Freres.
The ASBP collects approxi-mately 150 thousand units of blood annually from the mili-tary forces.
This liquid life-force is used to save the lives of service mem-bers wounded in combat and those combating health con-cerns in garrison.
Blood cannot be manufac-tured and donations are the biggest impact on some of our service members undergoing cancer treatment needs such as
platelet transfusions, said Julie Oliveri, the public affairs officer with ASBP.
“Every Marine I've ever spo-ken to who understands that, one, we're a separate military blood program, and two, it saves their brothers and sisters in arms, that Marine will run to the nearest blood donating center,” said Oliveri. “It takes absolutely nothing to get Marines to donate. The military family really does take care of each other, and it's quite an inspiring thing to see.”
The battalion commanding officer made the mission of sav-ing lives through blood dona-tions a competitive endeavor. The winners of the competition will be announced at the end of the HQSPTBn. physical training session Friday.

AMY BINKLEYAssistant managing editor
In the depths of the Peppermint Forest across the Gumdrop Pass along the banks of the Chocolate Swamp, a loyal group of friends converge for their scheduled counsel.
Sweets, spaceships and the future of their kingdom were subjects brought to the table at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune July 24, but the focus of their discussion centered on their most trusted confidant and fearless leader.
“She’s a cross between your favorite kindergarten teacher, favorite aunt and your mom,” described Lauren Estep, a member of the Teen Advisory Group. “She treats us like adults and values our opinions.”
Fran Bing, youth services technician, built a legacy of love on a foundation of friend-ship during her 28 year tenure at the library, and as the 2012
summer reading program, “Reading is So Delicious,” winds down, her core teen group can’t help but gush about their guide.
“She has a deep love and a fond-ness for us,” said Shannon Fowler, a TAG member. “She takes so much care in giving us a place to hang out.”
Bing’s devotion has made her a legend of sorts among members of the group, who have seen the hours she’s spent planning and executing events for them.
“She really, truly cares,” Estep ex-plained. “For her, it’s not just a day job where she’s just nice because she’s told to be.”
In an effort to show their apprecia-tion, the teens took it upon themselves to surprise Bing at their latest sum-mer reading program event – a fondue night – by bringing the Candyland board game to life.

“BRAVE” (PG)“Brave” is a computer-
animated fantasy adventure from Pixar Animation Studios (“Up,” “WALL-E”) featuring the first female heroine.
Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the genera-tions across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland.
A new tale joins the lore when the courageous and adventurous Princess Merida, voiced by Kelly Macdonald (TV’s “Board-walk Empire”), confronts tradition and challenges destiny to change her fate.
Merida is a young but extremely skilled archer from a mythical Scottish kingdom who riles her royal parents and causes real problems when a fulfilled wish removes her from all traditions.
The impetuous and feisty princess, determined to carve her own path in life, defies an age-old custom sa-cred to the uproarious lords of the land that include the surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson), massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), and can-tankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane).
Merida’s actions inad-vertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and she will have to face the evil forces she uncovers to save her homeland. She turns to an eccentric but wise woman (voice of Julie Wal-ters) for help and is granted an ill-fated wish.
The ensuing peril forces Merida to harness all of her skills and resources, includ-ing her clever and mischie-vous triplet brothers, to undo a beastly curse before it is too late, discovering the meaning of true bravery.
Emma Thompson and Billy Connolly lend their voices to the royal parents, Queen Elinor and King Fergus.
Mark Andrews makes his feature directorial debut and along with Brenda Chap-man, who collaborated on the screenplay, the two have created a noteworthy feat with the first female heroine in an animated adventure.
The fairytale movie is visually stunning, showing the wild beauty of Scotland, and the voices are strong and effective, accompanied by music from composer Patrick Doyle, who uses native instruments to bring some of Scotland’s folksy flavor to the film.
“Brave” is an excellent example of how an ani-mated fantasy tale should be told and presented; even the 3D version agrees with the whole concept.
Don’t miss an outstand-ing short film entitled “La Luna” before the feature presentation of “Brave.”

“THE DARK KNIGHT RISES” (R)
“The Dark Knight Rises” is the conclusion to the Batman trilogy based on the highly popular comic book series “Batman.”
After taking the fall for crimes he did not commit, and living like a recluse,
Batman resurfaces eight years later to help Gotham’s police against a new terrorist leader.
Pushing it and its po-lice force to their limits, it forces the former Gothom hero back into the game after taking the fall for Harvey Dent’s crimes.
Christian Bale (“The Fighter”) reprises his role as Bruce Wayne, aka Bat-man, the caped crusader and crime fighter who resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy.
Despite his tarnished reputation after the events of “The Dark Knight,” Batman feels compelled to intervene to assist the city and its police force, which is struggling to cope with the terrorist’s plan to destroy the city.
Tom Hardy (“Warrior”) plays the part of the ultra-villain and ruthless Bane who terrorizes Gotham City.
Ann Hathaway (“Get Smart”) appears as Selina
Kyle, aka Catwoman, as the feisty femme fatale, a wily con artist and high-society cat burglar, who is also an associate of Bane.
Co-starring again is Mor-gan Freeman (“Red”) as Lu-cius Fox, who runs Wayne Enterprises on behalf of Bruce Wayne; and Michael Caine (“Inception”) as Alfred Pennyworth, the trusted and loyal butler and confidant.
Gary Oldman (“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”) plays
Jim Gordon, commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“50/50”) can be seen as John Blake, the earnest cop assigned for special duty to the commissioner.
Marion Cotillard (“In-ception”) portrays Miranda Tate, a philanthropist and Wayne Enterprises board member, who is also a love interest for Wayne.
Also re-appearing from the previous movies is Cil-lian Murphy (“Red Eye”) as Dr. Jonathan Crane; Juno Temple (“The Three Musketeers”) as Holly Robinson; Nester Carbonell (TV’s “Lost”) as Mayor Anthony Garcia; Matthew Modine (“The Trial”) as Deputy Commissioner
Foley, and Liam Neeson in a brief cameo as Ra’s al Ghul, leader of the League of Shadows.
Director Chris Nolan’s (“Inception”) epic trilogy comes to a glorious and moving end.
“The Dark Knight Rises” doesn’t disappoint. The thrilling spectacle takes too long to get into the storyline; however the climatic finale is sure go into film history books.
No doubt, the movie will be this summer’s big blockbuster; especially since the best superhero movie franchise of all time is ending.

Base requires registration of all pets by Sept. 30

Dogs and cats qualify as family members to many. If a furry loved one were to ever go missing, it could cause a lot of stress and worry for a family.
Collars provide information on a pet’s home, but new-age microchips have begun to replace those tags.
Animal Control personnel and base veterinarians with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune scheduled animal registration events to ensure every pet residing in base housing is checked into their system.
“The goal of this event is to get every pet regis-tered,” said Sgt. Michael Newson, a policeman with the Provost Marshal’s Office. “We teamed up to sup-port (Atlantic Marine Corps Communities) with the registration event.”
If an animal were to go missing and didn’t have a collar or tag, pet owners could feel reassured knowing their pets have microchips containing a designated number used to search for the animal’s information on the specific microchip company’s database.
“It’s very important to have pets registered so there’s accountability for every animal,” explained Adam Guringo, a resident of Midway Park military housing.
He stressed the fact that chips are great because you never know when a pet could go missing.
The microchips are about the size of a grain of rice. They are implanted between the shoulder blades under the skin of the animal. After the micro-
chips are placed, the pets are then registered with the microchip company.
Hand held devices, which use radio waves, can recover the alphanumeric code specific to each microchip.
“If a pet is brought in and has a (microchip), the animal is scanned, and the owners are imme-diately contacted,” said Newson. “One hundred percent of the time animals found with these microchips are returned to their homes.”
Unlike the standard pet collar and tag, microchips are built to last as long as the life of the pet. Tarawa Terrace Vet-erinarian Clinic will have microchips available at the registration events for a discounted price.
Residents are required to bring their pets with up-to-date shot records and microchip paperwork in order to complete their registration. Cats must be carried to the event in a crate or car-rier and all dogs are required to be on a leash at all events.
Veterinarians will administer shots to animals in need of up-to-date shots, but the purpose of these events is strict-ly for pet registration, noted Newson.
The Animal Control office is sched-uled to move to building 979 next month, located on Piney Green Road aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, next to
the Piney Green Base entry gate. They will continue to hold pet registration at their
new location from 8 to 11 a.m., Monday through Friday. Pet registration is free and conducted on a walk-in basis only.
Base patrons have up to five days after receiv-ing the key to their residence to register their pets. Patrons who already live aboard the base and have a pet have until Sept. 30 to register their animals.
To contact Animal Control call 451-5143. To contact the Tarawa Terrace Veterinarian Clinic call 450-1607.

Onslow Co. prepares for National Night Out 2012AMY BINKLEYAssistant managing editor
When criminals wreak havoc in the streets and the world teeters on the brink of chaos, voices call for help, and at their cries, rescuers come to their aid.
Their faces are not masked nor their names disguised, but their uni-forms identify them as heroes.
The men and women who put their lives on the line daily to protect the innocents of On-slow County and others throughout the world will come together for one night to celebrate the
community and move one step closer to stomping out crime in the area.
Police officers, firefight-ers, rescue workers and more will team up with service members from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune during National Night Out for the annual celebration at Riverwalk Park in downtown Jack-sonville Aug. 7 from 5 to 9:30 p.m.
“We are fortunate to live in a community in which people care about each other and are willing to put forth the effort to make Jacksonville great,” said Chief Mike Yaniero, director of public safety
for the city. “Our local event has been recognized for excellence by the National Association of Town Watch every year.”
Through the years, NNO’s popularity has grown exponentially as thousands of citizens flood the downtown area to meet and thank the uniformed personnel for their hard work.
The event, which will take place in neighbor-hood’s throughout the country, presents a unique opportunity to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate sup-port for and participation in local anti-crime efforts,
strengthen neighbor-hood spirit and police-community partnerships, and sends the message the community is organized and ready to fight back against criminal activity.
“For law enforcement to be effective, it must have the support of the people it serves.” stated Yaniero. “National Night Out cements the impor-tance of the public-private partnership that is key to successful policing.”
Building relationships between security crews and citizens is only the tip of the iceberg for the free, fun-filled evening.
More than 200 vendors featuring everything from food and crafts to local businesses and military displays will line the roads of the Riverwalk with plenty of freebies and activities for the entire family.
The bicycle raffle give-
away returns to give lucky youngsters a chance to win a free bike. Children must be less than 15 years old, accompanied by a parent or guardian, and present to win. Each child is allowed three tickets in the raffle.
Setting the musical mood for the evening are local bands Freeway, Dixie Driver and Blues Transition who will keep the atmosphere upbeat with familiar tunes all night.
A taste of Hollywood will also grace NNO as actor and producer Jeremy Davis serves as the master of ceremonies. Davis gained notoriety with his portrayal of Petty Officer Michael Davis in the 2009 film “Seal Team VI.”
To make sure every-one who wants to attend the event can come, the City of Jacksonville will provide a shuttle service
to the event from six free parking areas in the downtown area, includ-ing the Onslow County Health Department and City Hall.
Fireworks will light up the sky over the water at sundown to draw arguably the safest night of the year to an end.
“Whether you are new to the area, or a long-time resident, you will learn something new about your community and have a great time,” promised Beth Purcell, spokesper-son for the Jacksonville Police Department.

ry Shrimp Festival has been celebrating thetasty little prawn since the beginning of theevent in 1971 when a group of business mengot together and decided to pay homage tothe delicious shrimp and the fishing commu-nity that harvests them.
The first year of the festival was heldon Fulcher’s Landing, but the event grewin popularity and within the first five years,needed a much larger venue. In 1976 theCommunity Council bought a 10 acre tractthat would be the new permanent home ofthe festival as well as a community park. Thelocation at 126 Park Lane in Sneads Ferrynow boasts a community building, coveredband stand, and covered shelters to accom-modate all events. Over the years, the com-
munity has slowly built up the property andis proud of what the festival has become.Just last year, The SFSF was named The Of-ficial Shrimp Festival of North Carolina.
The 2012 Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festivalwill be hosting an assortment of events in-cluding a ball this Saturday, August 4. A 5Kshrimp scamper held on October 20. Shrimp

CPL. JEFF DREW2nd Marine Division
He watched as five Marines
beside him dropped, struck by the
sheer force of insurgent machine
gun fire. Within seconds, Lance
Cpl. Jeffrey Cole joined his broth-
ers as a three-round burst lifted his
200-pound frame and 80pounds
of gear completely off the ground,
moved him five feet in the air, and
slammed him into the dirt– all in
less than half a second.
The Woodstock, Ga., native
took three rounds into theceram-
ic plates protecting his body from
small-arms fire. He was down, but
not wounded. The injured Ma-
rines made their way into anearby
canal for cover as Cole provided
suppressive fire with his rifle.With
half of the Marines on thepatrol
wounded, they tried callingfor ex-
traction on the radio, but couldn’t
reach anyone. No help wason the
way and approximately 20insur-
gents entrenched only 30meters
from their position were headed
in their direction. They were out
for blood.The morning of August 17,
2010, started early for Cole. He
woke at 4 a.m. to stand four hours
of guard duty. As he finished his
time on post, an earlymorning pa-
trol returned and he helped cook
food for them before cleaning his
rifle and restocking on water. He
heard through the grapevine about
another patrol going out soon and
he wanted in on the action. In the
three-and-a-half weeks his unit,
2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regi-
ment, 2nd Marine Division, was
in country, Cole had already been
on 46 missions, luckily without
incident.The patrol that changed his
life indefinitely consistedof six
Marines from his squad as well as
a Navy corpsman and three Ma-
rines from a Professional Mentor
Team, a group primarilyrespon-
sible for training and working
with Afghan National Security
Forces. It was a reconnaissance
mission – to photographthe lo-
cal landscape and populace,
and learn as much as theycould
about the area. At 1:30 p.m., the
patrol made their way toa loca-
tion they had been just the night
before. They spoke with local
Afghans and searched mud com-
pounds. Around 3:30 p.m., they
left the final compound;a crack
of gunfire filled the air, and they
found themselves in the fight of
their lives. The patrol waspinned
down by heavy enemy fire; five
Marines were wounded, and they
were unable to contact anyone on
the radio.“Thirty minutes into the
fire-
fight, I heard screams theenemy
was advancing toward us,” Cole
said as he recounted hisactions
that day. “I took a machine gun
from my buddy who was shot
and gave him my rifle. I put the
machine gun in my shoulder and
started firing. Then I got upon the
road and shot from my hip in a
sweepingmotion from left to right.
I shot 150 rounds off, and as I did,
I was shot three more times. A
round hit my plates again and two
rounds went through my arm.”
“This time it felt like asun-
burn,” Cole said as he remem-
bered the feeling of the rounds
penetrating his arm. “My bone
vibrated and severed my nerve,
and blew out the inside of my up-
per arm. I couldn’t feel anything.
It spun me around and threw me
into the ditch.”Immediately the Marines p
ut a
tourniquet on the wounded Cole
in an effort to stop the bleeding.
As the sixth injured service mem-
ber, the Marines knew theyhad to
move – quickly. They made their
way into a nearby compound as
enemy fire dug into themudwalls.
The enemy was advancingand all
Cole could hear were the calls
over the radio.“All channels, anywhere,
any-
thing around us that canreceive
us – we need help now!”
Another tourniquet and a pres-
sure dressing were appliedto his
arm, but he was still losingblood –
time was running out. Despite his
grievous wounds, Cole continued
to provide accurate suppressive
fire on the enemy making sure the
Marines on patrol remained cov-
ered and safe.As if by some miracle, the
sound of attack helicopters broke
through the cloud of gunfire. The
Marines, running low on am-
munition and badly wounded,
continued to return fire as their
air support offered protection
for a medical evacuation.A Brit-
ish CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter
landed under heavy fire from the
nearby insurgents. The Marines,
supporting one another, staggered
toward the rescue helicopter in the
midst of enemy fire and climbed
aboard.Cole was flown to Camp
Bas-
tion where he immediately went

Blocks of Marjah secure, battalion shifts focus to counternarcoticsHELMAND PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN
1ST LT. CHRIS HARPER1st Marine Division (Forward)
What began as a window ofopportunity,
a simple chance to changethe status quo in
the Central Helmand River Valley, turned
into an ongoing counternarcotics operation
preventing the annual summer fighting sea-
son from getting off the ground.
Operation Psarlay Taba, a partnered
counternarcotics operation conducted by
2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, and
the Afghan National Interdiction Unit, tar-
geted opium production facilities andnar-
cotics trafficking in the Bari Desert, north-
west of Marjah district.
When Lt. Col. Michael Styskal, com-
manding officer of 2nd Bn., 9th Marines,
arrived in Marjah in December 2011 the
situation changed dramatically since his
last deployment there a year before.
Styskal’s predecessor with 3rd Bn., 6th
Marines moved his battalion to the out-
skirts of Marjah. Afghan security forces,
anchored by perhaps the strongest local po-
lice force in the country, were in control of
the blocks, or main population centers, of
the district.“Marjah was a district in transition,”
said Styskal. “Marines and (Afghan Na-
tional Army) moved outto the periphery
… the police were set in and the district
government was working.”
With the blocks secured, Styskal and
his Marines were able toshift their focus
outward.“We chose to fight the enemy on our
footing,” said Styskal. “We targeted where
we knew they would be protecting their
narcotics.”The sparsely populated Bari Desert
caught the collective eyeof the battalion’s
intelligence and operations officers. The
high rates of poppy cultivation and narcot-
ics trafficking in the desert made it a focus
of pre-deployment planning efforts.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. AUGUST 2, 2012 7D
LT. CMDR. JOHN RUDD Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
When we are wronged, most of us have a strong desire for revenge. God gave us legitimate avenues for justice through our laws and the court system, but the Bible warns us personal revenge is something different than just legal fairness.
Personal revenge is a normal reaction when we are wronged and unable to do anything about it. We want the offender to hurt like we were hurt. We have thoughts about getting even, or we want to take action to settle the score. They hurt us, now we owe them. They were wrong in the first place; a little vengence is in order so they won’t do this again.
The “eye-for-an-eye” policy of the Bible is a wonderful approach for a legal system, however as a personal practice it always leaves us wanting more justice.
On a personal level the Bible asks us to meet an even higher standard than the “eye-for-an-eye” policy. We are expected to repay evil with kind-ness. It’s not enough to just let the offense go and try to remain neutral, we are called to get involved in the offender’s general welfare and support their basic needs of life.
With obvious caution given to our personal safety, we are to pursue the opposite feelings we had when offended, even to the point of praying for the person’s well-being.
God knows justice is important to us. He knows it hurts when we are wronged. The caution is not to let your thirst for justice turn into a quest for revenge. Don’t try to get even when you are harmed, publicly humiliated, wrongfully accused or taken advantage of.
Being overcome by revenge is a trap that will eat at us until it destroys our well-being. God asks us to admit these feelings of revenge to him. Many of the Psalms are the prayers of David admitting he wanted revenge for those people who were hurting him. God wants us to bring our strongest feelings to him, so he will settle the score his way.
What a great plan – we tell God what kind of payback should happen for the hurt someone caused us, like when David asked God to have his enemies teeth smashed in Ps. 58:6, and then we go about the business of repaying evil with kindness.
Only God’s policy keeps relationships between people, tribes and countries from succumbing to a never-ending cycle of revenge. Only God can keep us from retaliation and help us to actually pray for our offenders.
Romans 12:17-21 says, “Do not repay anyone evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord. On the contrary: If your en-emy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Colored blocks re-created the fictional path to treat-titled areas of the conference room where several teens came to make candy, play video games and enjoy hanging out with their peers.
“Making the candy chocolate allows them to be creative,” noted Jeanne Holmgren, manager of the research library, who assisted with the activi-ties. “They can make it as crazy or as simple as they want, and at the end, they have something to eat. What more could a teenager want? They’re having a great time. Even the guys are joining in.”
Bing sat on the side-lines, beaming with pride, as she watched seasoned teens welcome new faces to the group.
“When you have such a great group of kids, how could I not love it?” she commented about her job. “They keep me young and in touch. I may not know everything about video games or other things they do, but I know more than most people my age.”
Her lack of familiarity with the ever-changing interests of teenagers doesn’t deter Bing from her missions to help teens build a relationship with the library and to let them know they have someone who is there for them.
“(Most) teens just want someone to talk to and to listen to them,” she acknowledged. “I’ve seen so many of them grow up. Some of the privates who would volunteer with us years ago are now gunnery sergeants and married with kids. They haven’t forgotten us.”
Bing’s attempts to stay connected with the young crowd haven’t gone unno-ticed, and the current crop of teens is thankful for her hard work.
“For most teens, this time is pretty rough,” said TAG member Irelyn Fowler. “It’s nice to just have someone there. ”
Bing doesn’t take credit for the success of the program.
“I let the kids know they are allowed to be who they are,” she stated. “I turn them loose and let them make the plans.”
Estep, who has been a library program regular since elementary school, pointed out Bing’s willing-ness to consider every idea, her active engagement in
their conversations, and her constant encourage-ment of their reading and other interests makes her a valuable asset to the library.
“Ms. Fran beyond encourages us to make (the program) ours,” Estep said. “She listens to our ideas and let’s us go through with a lot of them. She’s also a big geek and regrets nothing about it.”
The Fowler sisters agree, adding how their leader’s spontaneity produces crazy, fun ideas, and her friendliness makes everyone feel welcome.
“We’re not a typical library group, or maybe we are,” Irelyn Fowler mused. “What people see on the outside is much different than what hap-pens inside. She’s taught us to be open and accept-ing of everyone.
It’s about making bonds with people who know what you’re going through.”
As the tastiest sum-mer reading program on record approaches its final stage, Bing remains steadfast, looking forward to new faces and events.
“We try to stretch out the summer reading program as
long as we can so we can include those kids who are moving here right before the school year starts,” she said.
While the future of the teen library program looks bright, Bing seems happiest when handing the reigns over to her protégés and seeing them grow in their own leader-ship qualities.
“They are fantastic,” she boasted.
