Jabari N. Thompson, and Seaman Apprentice Aaron D. Ullom, during a memorial service aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 5.

The service members, who were all a part of 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Divi-sion, gave the ultimate sacrifice during the battalion’s most recent deployment to Afghanistan.

The ceremony consisted of readings from scripture, personal reflections from the Marines who knew their brothers best, and a final roll call, which was carried out by Sgt. Maj. Dennis Downing, the battalion ser-geant major.

Each Marine was honored with the traditional bat-tlefield memorial cross, a statue of a rifle, combat boots and identification tags, symbolizing their sacrifice and time honored traditions of the Marine Corps.

Next to each of the statues stood a portrait by which their fellow Marines could remember the faces of the men who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

The crowd wept as Marines who knew each of the fallen made personal reflections about what made

those Marines particularly special. One testimonial was especially emotional. Staff

Sgt. Jason A. Rodgers was remembered by his platoon commander as being a great Marine and an even better comrade.

“I was fortunate enough to be able to call him my friend. Anyone who knew him understands what I say when I tell you he had a way of putting you at ease,” said 1st Lt. Will Riordon, platoon commander, Com-pany C, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines. “He would make you laugh and then get his point across.”

Temperatures rose in the desert as Afghan National Army soldiers with 4th Kandak, 1st Brigade, 215th Corps, recently fired their first artillery rounds in Hel-mand province since their unit was formed in May.

The soldiers began their artillery training at the Kabul Military Train-ing Center and, upon graduating, fell under the mentorship of Ma-rines with the Combat Support Advisory Team attached to 1st Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, and select Marines with Battery C, 1st Battalion, 12th Marines.

The CSAT has worked side-by-side with the Af-ghan artillerymen since May to get the soldiers ready for their live-fire shoot. The ANA knew how to process a fire

mission when the two military forces first met, but the Marines offered to increase their profi-ciency and skill. One of the biggest improve-ments made was in the Fire Direction Center, where Marines compute a target’s range, direc-tion and precise target location when a request for fire support comes in.

“In terms of the FDC, we wanted to bring their mission processing time down,” said 2nd Lt. Bradley Naert, an ad-viser with the CSAT. “It was taking them roughly 10 to 15 minutes to pro-cess a mission and have the data ready after re-ceiving a call for fire. Now they are down to six minutes, so that is a big success.”

The advisers often had no translators to in-struct the ANA soldiers and had to learn Dari in order to teach them. When translators were

available, the mentors found it best to teach them in order to better describe it to the ANA members. The Afghan soldiers seemed excited and motivated to learn a new skill, whether taught by Marines or through translators.

“When we trained the ANA, they were excited and paid attention to the training,” said Staff Sgt. Mitchell H. Hamil-ton, an adviser with the CSAT. “They learned and caught on very quickly. Even with the lack of in-terpreters at times, it was amazing to see how fast they caught on.”

The soldiers put their new skills to the test dur-ing their first shoot in the Afghan desert. The first day the ANA and Marines arrived at the training area and began setting up the four soviet-made 122-mm howitzer D-30 artillery cannons. Before long the sun be-gan to dip down below

the horizon, and the soldiers sent their first volley of high-explosive dual-purpose artillery rounds downrange.

Excitement erupted

from the soldiers as they saw all of their training pay off. The day ended on a high note, leading to more anticipation and shooting for the second day.

The Marine Corps has a new centralized command system for its regional commands, according to Marine Administration Message 575/11. The new command, Marine Corps Installations Command, went into effect Oct. 1 and was activated during the General Officer Symposium yesterday.

MCICOM, located in the installations and logistics department at Head-quarters Marine Corps in Washington, D.C., will take command of three subordinate regional commands: Marine Corps Installations East, Marine Corps Installations West and Marine Corps Installations Pacific.

The activation of the new command comes in response to a review group ordered by the commandant in 2010 to study the roles and responsibilities of the Marine Corps and the structure necessary to support those ends.

The review group deemed the creation of MCICOM necessary to serve as the sole command responsible for all installation matters. The aim of this unified command system is to better increase the management and opera-tions of the installations with a clarification of authority and responsibility. In addition, MCICOM will work to standardize all installation functions as far as possible across the Marine Corps with hopes of better supporting the warfighting mission.

To increase cohesion, all commanding generals from MCIEAST, MCI-WEST and MCIPAC relocated to MCICOM in Washington, D.C.

MAN ON THE STREETWhat would you add to initial training to better prepare new Marines before

joining their unit?

Staff Sgt. Christopher Cabaniss 8th Communications Battalion, 2nd Marine Headquarters Group, II Marine Expeditionary ForceKing George, Va.

“I’d focus more on the MOS schools and I’d extend the training a

little bit longer for more of the technical MOSs.

There’s not much to change. The Marine Corps is a wonderful organization and our training is done well.”

“Initial training is important, but nothing prepares Marines better

than going out and actually doing the work.”

Cpl. Daniel OhataCombat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics GroupSan Jose, Calif.

“If possible, have more on-the-job training so

they can see how a unit really functions and get a better idea of what they’ll

be doing after MOS school.”

1st Lt. Karl HendlerII Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, II Marine Expeditionary ForceRichfi eld, Ohio

“Marines get a lot of classroom instruction at MOS school, but they

need to get more hands-on training. Sometimes they go to their unit and they have to learn to use equipment

they’ve never worked with.”

STAFF SGT. RYAN SMITHRegimental Combat Team 8

A contingent of n o n c o m m i s -sioned officers gathered at Forward Oper-

ating Base Delaram II, Afghani-stan recently to discuss lessons learned from their experiences on the battlefield.

From every unit across the Regimental Combat Team 8 battle space, the Marines con-verged on the regimental head-quarters for the first RCT-8 NCO Symposium recently.

The Marines shared some of their experiences concerning different topics ranging from countering improvised explosive devices to working in a counter-insurgency situation.

“There are all kinds of les-sons learned, (techniques, tac-tics and procedures) and best practices,” said Sgt. Maj. David Jobe, RCT-8 sergeant major. “I feel my job as a senior enlisted leader is to make sure we are sharing information throughout the battle space.”

Sitting around a large con-ference table, each of the 16 at-tendees took their turn address-ing successes and failures in how they go about the business of securing their areas. Each topic was open for discussion amongst the group and ideas poured into the air.

“It’s really interesting to hear what (others) are dealing with and the things I can bring back to my unit,” said Cpl. James Leitch, a team leader with Com-pany C, 1st Battalion, 5th Ma-rine Regiment. “This has been a great learning experience. It’s been awesome meeting some of the other NCOs and learning how they do things.”

These NCOs will normally see only limited areas of the district their battalions operate in over the course of a deploy-ment. The insurgent knows this and will use it to his advantage. Meetings such as this keep the small-unit leaders informed as to the enemy’s newest tactics in other areas.

“I thought it was extremely informative just to have every-body together,” said Leitch. “I primarily deal with the ‘brown zone’ where there are lots of IEDs, but I’m sitting across the table from a guy who isn’t deal-ing with as many IEDs, but it’s kinetic all the time.”

The discussion primarily fo-cused on tactics and procedures as well as the use of military working dogs and the use of counterinsurgency operations.

“In the past two days, I’ve learned about errors I’ve been making,” said Cpl. Paul Cham-bers, a squad leader for Com-pany B, 1st Battalion, 6th Ma-rines, RCT-8. “Some things I’ve been omitting from patrols. There are different thought pat-terns from guys in our neighbor-ing sectors from 1st Battalion, 5th Marines where they talked about their compounds and the way they look at compounds. In my (area of operations), we might not go into compounds because there’s no need. If we have a safer manner to go in there, a procedure that has been used in other AOs, why not use it?”

The symposium also opened their eyes to realizing not all of the units represented were infantry battalions. Battery E, 2nd Battalion, 12th Marines is filling a role as an infantry com-pany even though their Marines come from an artillery back-ground and includes patrols with individuals from all walks in the Corps.

“Echo 2nd Battalion, 12th Marines has proven it … they’re a cannon battery running around just like grunts,” said Chambers. “There’s a wireman, a (communications) guy and (motor-transport) personnel in the symposium. They’re doing things in just the same manner as grunts do.

“As particular as grunts like to be about what we do on the deck, and say ‘Hey, that’s my job; you do your thing,’ we all know that sometimes you get thrown in positions you’re not prepared for because that’s not your job specifically,” said Chambers.

“With this type of environment and how you can just get tossed into something, everyone should be cross trained to an extent. You should be a master of your trade but a jack of all trades. (You) should still come up the Marine Corps way.”

Overall, the lesson being taught wasn’t lost on one single topic dur-ing the nine-hour discussion.

“Keep an open mind to what other people are doing,” said Leitch. “Don’t get into the mindset of what I’m doing is the right thing. My opinion has been changed about a lot of dif-ferent things we’ve been doing, just hearing what different units have been successful in, and their failures as well, and having them critique what I’m doing.

“That diversity of experience helps round me out to be a bet-ter NCO and Marine,” added Leitch.

The symposium was deemed a success by the Marines in-volved and they hope to return to their unit equipped with the

new information and spread the word about what they learned.

“I definitely got a lot out of this, and I’m going to bring it all back,” said Chambers. “I hope to share this information amongst the platoon and throughout the

company. From the company commanders down, it should be seen by all. All Marines should see what’s going on throughout (the area) and every one trained up and down with what we are talking about here.”

Divorce is a challenge in anyone’s life, but oc-curs to more than 50 per-cent of married couples. The retired family is oc-casionally faced with this sad dilemma. Coun-seling service is available for couples with relation-ship problems. Mental health care is also avail-able for depression and other illnesses associated with potential divorce is-sues. Chaplain services can provide some assis-tance to couples. Even with these assets and tools, the divorce may proceed. The base legal service is available for consultation but not rep-resentation in court.

A spouse married less than 20 consecutive years while the mem-ber was on active duty will lose the identifica-tion card and benefits. If they were married to the member for 20 years and at least 15 years of that was during their ac-tive duty time, they may request to retain the ID and medical benefits for up to one year. There are categories distinguished by amounts of service time for former spouses, which delineates what is available for a former spouse.

The Uniformed Ser-vices Former Spouses Protection Act allows state courts to consider military retired pay as divisible property in divorce settlements af-ter June 25, 1981. It also establishes proce-dures by which a former

spouse could receive all or a portion of the court settlement as direct pay-ment from the finance service center. The law does not direct state courts to divide retired pay; it permits them to. The law stipulates that only “disposable” pay may be divided. Dispos-able pay is defined as pay other than: debts owed the government, amounts of retired pay waived for receipt of VA disability, Veteran Service Life Insurance premiums or Survivor Benefit Plan cost for a former spouse receiv-ing USFSPA. A divorce decree must clearly state the percentage of pay to be withheld and paid to the former spouse. The percentage may not be above 50 percent of the disposable retired pay, with the exception of arrears of payment. For additional information on USFSPA, contact the base legal department.

The Pinjadoo Bazaar was already buzzing – hun-dreds of Nawa District res-idents were out selling and trading goods, conducting business on what seemed like a normal day. The al-ready energetic atmosphere became even more excited when Nawa District’s gov-ernor, Haji Abdul Manaf, arrived on scene. A small crowd gathered around the governor as he shook hands and talked to people.

Afghan Uniformed Po-lice patrolmen and Ma-rines with Company C, 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Reg-

iment, Regimental Combat Team 8, escorted the dis-trict governor through the Pinjadoo Bazaar as he in-teracted with citizens dur-ing a recent visit to view the progress the village is mak-ing to promote commerce and stability in the area. The crowd following the governor around the ba-zaar grew steadily as more and more people joined him.

“He’s got a unique abil-ity to connect with his citizens and spread the positive message of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan,” said Capt. Jason Goodale, the commanding officer of Company C, 1st Battalion, 9th Marines. “I thought the

governor was well-received and very pleased to be among his people.”

The people have every reason to appreciate their district governor. Nawa has been a shining ex-ample of success in Hel-mand province during the past two years, ousting a visible insurgency and in-stalling legitimate govern-ment officials like Manaf, among others. Pinjadoo has greatly benefitted from the area’s prosperity, and today its bazaar is a major center of commerce within the district.

“Everybody’s glad. Ev-erybody’s happy,” said Manaf. “I haven’t seen any-body (who is) going to come up to me (and) complain.”

Manaf also took the op-portunity to visit the adja-cent Pinjadoo AUP pre-cinct and a school in the village. Manaf, Goodale and the local AUP com-mander discussed the prog-ress in Pinjadoo and future plans while drinking chai at the precinct.

“The governor remi-nisced about his muja-hedeen days and some of the fighting that occurred in the Pinjadoo area around the bazaar (in the past),” said Goodale. “We also discussed the fact that he wants to build a new high school in Pinjadoo on the backside of the bazaar and talked about his vision for that, as well as education as a whole in Nawa.”

Education, a privilege some Americans may take for granted, is lacking in many areas of Helmand province. Only 34 percent of Afghans are literate, and only 28 percent of children are enrolled in secondary school. Manaf wants to make sure his citizens are getting a good education – both boys and girls.

“There are still some things that (need) to hap-pen in Nawa. We need to be honest about that,” said Manaf. “For example, we don’t have any girls’ school. If you’re talking about de-mocracy, there has to be girls’ school, as well.”

Manaf ’s final stop was at a school in Pinjadoo where classes were packed with

young boys. The students were hard at work when their district governor paid a visit.

Nawa has certainly come a long way in two years: a bustling bazaar, a legiti-mate and competent police force, and classrooms filled with Afghanistan’s youth would have been unfath-omable as late as 2009.

“I think the situation (in Nawa) is pretty good,” said Goodale. “We’ve got a strong government. We have rapidly developing and strong security forc-es within Nawa. We’ve got a very hard-working populace that is dedi-cated and devoted to the future of not only Nawa, but Afghanistan.”

SGT. JUSTIN SHEMANSKI2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

A causeway continues to extend across Helmand River thanks in large part to the continued efforts of Marines assigned to 7th En-gineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward).

The unit has made daily trips to the site over the last three weeks, each time haul-ing several metric tons of rubble to form the founda-tion of the growing penin-sula. The compacted cement and dirt mixture will serve as a base to launch a forthcom-ing bridge that will span the remainder of the river.

“This will open an al-ternate ground route,” said Capt. Charles Hunt, the company commander for Company C, 7th ESB.

The new route will af-

ford troops operating in the region with a safer route to areas northwest of Forward Operating Base Sabit Qa-dam, noted Hunt.

“It’s really going to help us push forward once it’s completed,” said Cpl. Car-los Sanchez, a heavy equip-ment mechanic with Sup-port Co., 7th ESB, who, along with a detachment of others, is attached to FOB Sabit Qadam to liai-son with the Marines who arrive with rubble-laden trucks each day.

The project consists of five phases – the develop-ment of the far and near-side approaches to the river made up phases one and two, with the third being the completion of the causeway itself. Phase four will be the launching of a medium-gird-er bridge from the edge of the causeway to the far side of the river and the project

will culminate as the road-ways are developed into one network.

Recently, phase three was just mere feet from comple-tion.

“Every day for the last three weeks these guys have run this route to make this project happen and they’ve done an outstanding job,” said Hunt. “It’s really turned into a joint effort though.”

Hunt noted that in ad-dition to his own 7th ESB Marines, Combat Logistics Battalion 6, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4 Seabees and Marine Wing Support Squadron 272 all played an instrumental role in completing the causeway. On top of providing trucks to assist with hauling the debris to the site, some units even provided extra manpower.

“We couldn’t have done it without them,” he said.

For decades now, Af-ghan locals have been rely-ing on a crop cycle of pop-py and cannabis to provide income and a stable liveli-hood for their families.

According to the United Nations, profits from the narcotics trade are directly linked to the insurgency in Afghanistan, creating $155 million in revenue in 2009, while Afghanistan supplies roughly 90 percent of the world’s opium.

It is the mission of the Helmand Provincial Re-construction Team’s coun-ter-narcotics cell to give

the local populace an al-ternative to the drug trade by way of wheat and veg-etable crops.

For the previous three years, the PRT has been conducting seed and fertil-izer distribution efforts in Helmand province. The program, initiated by the Helmand provincial gov-ernor, Golab Mangal, has touched the lives of more than 40,000 farmers and their families this year, ac-cording to Maj. William Bye, a key developer in the wheat seed distribution program with the PRT in Lashkar Gah.

By promoting the harvest of legitimate food crops, the PRT looks to drasti-cally reduce the effects of

the heroin drug trade in the area, which currently affects nearly 100,000 citi-zens in Helmand province alone.

“Everybody in Hel-mand knows somebody who is addicted or has a family member themselves who is addicted,” Bye said. “They’ve seen the devastat-ing effect it has on those individuals. They are also reasonably well educated in the fact that the insurgency gains a lot of their income from poppy and from the opium trade. They’re aware that the insurgency is kill-ing them and is making their freedom of movement difficult. So on the whole, they generally do not want to grow poppy. They are

receptive to persuasion to grow something else, if they’ve got the security and the freedom of movement to do so.”

It has been the joint ef-forts of the combat forces of Regional Command (Southwest), the Afghan Uniformed Police and the Afghan National Army to provide locals with this se-curity and peace of mind over the last four years while the counter-narcotics cell implemented the project.

Bye also pointed out the far-reaching effects the poppy crops have on the international drug trade. He emphasized the impor-tance of giving Afghans a lifestyle alternative to stabi-lize the country in order to positively affect the rest of the world.

“Heroin from Afghani-

stan is found routinely on the streets in Europe and in America,” he said. “Where there are illicit drugs, there is always violence and crime associated with it. If we can reduce the amount of her-oin that is flowing into our markets, then we can work on reducing the crime that is found at home.”

According to Bye, over the past four years, the program has spread to 11 surrounding districts. The most recent district to be-come involved was Kajaki. Up until Kajaki joined the distribution efforts, the seed had been delivered solely by ground movements. However, Kajaki can only be reached by air.

The 2nd Marine Logis-tics Group (Forward) was called upon to provide lo-gistical support for the first

air delivery of the seed and fertilizer to Kajaki. Staff Sgt. Jason Skaggs, the 2nd MLG (Fwd.) transporta-tion coordinator, assisted in the movements of the wheat seed from Lashkar Gah, where it is held in large warehouses, to Kaja-ki. Thirty-four warehouse pallets weighing a total of 21 metric tons will be deliv-ered over the course of the next several weeks.

Skaggs weighed in on the benefits of promoting wheat and other crops over the harvest of poppy.

“Wheat can provide in-come and food, whereas poppy is a cash crop that is made into an illegal drug, causing instability due to its addictive nature,” he said. “Poppy will only de-grade the Afghanistan cul-ture further.”

CAPT. ROBERT SHUFORD24th Marine Expeditionary Unit

The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit held an activation ceremony recently aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s W.P.T. Hill Field, officially signaling the unit’s preparation for deployment as the unit grew from its standing head-quarters of approximately 100 Ma-rines and sailors to a Marine Air-Ground Task Force of 2,200 as the 24th MEU took charge of its three major subordinate elements.

The activation formally launch-es an intensive six-month pre-de-ployment training cycle designed to prepare the 24th MEU for a host of possible missions ranging from full-scale combat to disaster relief.

Joining the 24th MEU com-mand element for the next year are its designated air, ground and logistics components; Marine Me-dium Tiltrotor Squadron 261, Bat-talion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 2th Marine Regiment, and Combat Logistics Battalion 24.

During the ceremony, each of the newly joined units participated in a formation, then set up various

displays of equipment, vehicles and weapons for family and friends to learn about the MEU team.

“Today we officially formed our team – a team of our various Marine units, our team with the Navy, and most importantly with our families who are joining the MEU,” said Col. Frank Donovan, 24th MEU’s commanding officer.

The 24th MEU will conduct a variety of exercises over the next six months with their Navy coun-terpart Amphibious Squadron 8, commonly called PHIBRON 8, which is made up of three amphib-ious assault ships; USS Iwo Jima, USS New York and USS Gunston Hall. The Marines will be em-barked on these ships and deploy with PHIBRON 8 sometime early next year.

The 24th MEU last deployed from January to August 2010. Dur-ing this time 24th MEU participated in earthquake relief efforts in Haiti during Operation Unified Response, deployed to the Central Command area of operations and participated in numerous training exercises and theater security cooperation events with partnered countries through-

out the Middle East and Djibouti, Africa. In the Mediterranean, the 24th MEU participated in liberty port calls in Italy, Croatia, Turkey, Greece and Spain.

The ceremony served as a chance to educate friends and families of 24th MEU about what they can ex-pect over the coming months and through their deployment.

“This was a great opportunity to showcase what a MEU is and to help our families visualize and gain an understanding of the unique-ness of a MEU,” said Donovan. “I’m very thankful so many family members were here.”

Donovan assumed command of the unit in May. The subordinate element commanders are: Lt. Col. David B. Sosa, commanding officer, BLT 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines; Lt. Col. Brian C. Smith Jr., command-ing officer VMM-261 (Reinforced) and Lt. Col. Daniel J. Bradley, com-manding officer, CLB-24.

The first major exercise 24th MEU will conduct at sea is called PHIBRON-MEU Integration, or PMINT, and is scheduled to run the last two weeks of October into the first week of November.

CPL. ED GALO2nd Marine Division

Marines with 1st Bat-talion, 10th Marine Regi-ment, 2nd Marine Division were the first group to par-ticipate in a pilot program coordinated by Marine Corps Community Servic-es called Operation Adren-aline Rush, recently.

Operation Adrenaline Rush is a program geared toward units that are just re-turning from a deployment

in order to help them adjust to being home again.

The idea behind this program is to give Marines and sailors an opportunity to participate in extreme sports as a way to relieve stress. The participants get an adrenaline rush similar to the kind they receive in combat, but in a controlled environment.

The Marines began the day riding buses to the U.S. National Whitewater Cen-ter in Charlotte, N.C. Once

there, they participated in outdoor sports such as white-water rafting, rock climbing, mounting climbing and dif-ferent rope courses.

“I think this program was a great idea,” said Cpl. Thomas Kerley, a liaison with Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 10th Marines. “It was a lot of fun. I really like the whole theory of having an adrenaline rush. I have a bike and I ride it all the time - it’s therapeu-tic for me.”

“It’s different than talking to a counselor,” continued Kerley. “This program is a good alternative to me.”

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma are the only two installa-tions conducting the pilot program as of right now, but many hope that the program stays around and spreads throughout the Marine Corps.

“We were offered this op-portunity by MCCS,” said

Sgt. Maj. Juan Alvarado, the battalion sergeant major for 1st Battalion, 10th Marines. “We brought them to an en-vironment outside of work or the field for a day so that they can experience some excitement. “I think it’s a great program and I can’t wait to hear what the Ma-rines thought about it,” said Alvarado. “The Marines were definitely eager to be a part of this program. I think the benefits will be great.”

Another point the pro-

gram stressed besides post-deployment operational stress control was unit cohe-sion and “esprit de corps” by having the Marines work together during the events.

“This program was definitely ‘outside the box,’” said Lance Cpl. Je-romy Joye, legal clerk with Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 10th Marines. “I would absolutely do it again and recommend it to any Marines who get the opportunity to do this.”

SGT. EARNEST J. BARNES2nd Marine Division (Forward)

Local representatives of the Government of the Is-lamic Republic of Afghani-stan and service members with 3rd Battalion, 6th Ma-rine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (Forward) hosted a medical clinic at the Paham Chareh Bazaar, recently.

Doctor Habivulah, a lo-cal Afghan physician; along with a midwife, two medical sergeants with the 4th Tolai, 3rd Kandak, 4th Brigade, 215th Corps, and several Navy corpsmen with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines; as-sessed and treated 247 Mar-jah residents.

“The health initiative (al-lowed local residents to) gain trust in their local physicians. Medical education was a little slacked (during the rule of the insurgency), so a big problem that medical pro-viders have is (the people) feel (the doctors) are not well educated,” said Navy Lt. Robert Sklar, the battalion surgeon for 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines. “What we do with these medical initiatives is get them set up, advertised and out to the people. (Lo-cal residents) come for the free health care, and they get introduced to the doctors. (They) see that these doc-tors are able to treat them. It helps them build trust in their own government and medical system."

At approximately 5:30

a.m., Afghan National Se-curity Force members and Marines arrived at the ba-zaar to clear the area, set up security checkpoints and set up areas for screening the incoming patients. The lines started to form outside the bazaar just as the set-up was complete.

Members from the Afghan Local Police and Afghan Na-tional Army searched incom-ing patients for the security of everyone seeking medical attention, according to Staff Sgt. Ali Abass, a soldier with the 4th Tolai. The ANA sol-diers, members of the ALP, and the Marines directed the men, women and children into their respective waiting areas.

“One medic was the director showing people where to go, and the other was with the (corpsmen) and the adviser,” said Ali Abass. “My medics (want more) experience, so they worked with the corpsmen to gain experience. We get a lot of experience when we work together as a team.”

Another group of care-giving service members who helped with the clinic was the Female Engagement Team with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, who screened females and children prior to them receiving care from the midwife.

Additionally, the FET gave hygiene classes to the children to teach them how to properly brush their teeth and care for their bodies.

The children were all smiles when they left with new toothbrushes and small hy-giene items.

One hundred fourteen men, 54 women and 79 chil-dren received treatment for everything from stomach-aches to burns during the four-hour long clinic.

“There were a lot of (gas-trointestinal) complaints, acid reflux, muscle pains, and aches,” said Sklar. “We had one child that was struck by a car four days ago and had testicular trauma. Hopefully he moves up to a higher echelon of care. We cleaned it up, but he needs to get to a hospital and his father was well aware of that.”

Sklar said some of the patients with more seri-ous cases were evaluated and then recommended to seek more advanced medi-cal care at the hospital in Lashkar Gah, Helmand province, due to the limited medical supplies and lack of advanced medical equip-ment available on site. The clinic brought to light the importance of seeking med-ical attention when needed instead of allowing any condition to grow worse, added Sklar.

“This has got them start-ed with the health care they

needed. It helps them with their education in realizing their health care is impor-tant and helps them realize what needs to be followed up on and what does not,” said Sklar. “They are gain-ing awareness and the trust in the local doctors.”

The residents were grateful for the treatment they received and let all in-volved in the medical clinic know how much they ap-

preciated the care.Abdul Halik, a Marjah

resident, said clinics like this help because people are too poor to afford medical care.

“This is very good to help us,” said Abdul Halik. “We

are very happy. This is good process for us.”

This was the third medi-cal initiative 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines has been in-volved with since they ar-rived in Afghanistan.

CPL. WALTER D. MARINO II2nd Marine Division

Vietnam veterans from various infantry battalions gathered for a reunion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Fri-day. During their visit, the gentlemen were familiar-ized with the humvee and M-777 howitzer by junior Marines.

When it was time for the display of equip-ment, the former Marines jumped at the opportunity to interact with the junior enlisted.

Cpl. Richard M. Stew-art, assistant howitzer chief, 5th Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, was pres-ent to answer any ques-tions about the weapon systems and interact with the former Marines who had come to Lejeune for the reunion.

“It was a really moti-vating experience for me,” said Stewart. “I’m a third generation Marine and I really enjoyed meeting the old veterans because it lets me know about the Marines before me. I think it’s extremely important for things like this to oc-cur. The Marine Corps bases so much of itself off

of its history. This is his-tory right in front of your face – veterans letting you know about their life in the Corps.”

One retired sergeant major with silver hair and a twinkle to his eye, spoke of the past and present of the Marine Corps.

“I have worked with some phenomenal Ma-rines. Our platoon ser-geants that we had back in the days were all World War II veterans and they trained us well. There’s no doubt in my military mind it saved my bacon several times in Vietnam,” said Lew Izard. “You talk to each of these guys and you can get a story of how they feel and what they did and how they contrib-uted. Some of them were machine gunners, some of them were mortarmen, some of them were squad leaders – I’ve served in all of those billets and I had a ball doing it.”

Numerous junior Ma-rines laughed and ap-peared fascinated at what the veterans had to say.

“There have been dra-matic and great changes in the Corps,” said Izard. “These Marines have continued to carry on the legacy that’s left by former Marines and just make it

better. There’s no other military force in the world that can hold a candle to our Corps. I’m pretty proud of that.”

As the veterans boarded

their buses to leave, it was evident the engagement filled the Marines like Stewart with pride and motivation to continue the legacy of the Corps.

“Hearing their stories – how it was for them in the Marines and hearing how proud they were of how we conduct ourselves now-adays, stood out to me the

most,” said Stewart. “To be honest I think it’s one of the best sources of motiva-tion a young Marine can get. I think they should do this more often.”

Veterans leave lasting impression on Lejeune Marines

Conover, a motor vehicle operator with, 5th Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, stands ready to answer any questions from former Marine David Potts, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently.

have learned,” said Afghan Sgt. Mowladad Wafa, a recorder with one of the gun sections. “I was happy to hit the target – so far we’ve had a successful shoot.”

The second day of firing began early. The ANA soldiers gathered around the gun line, polishing their drill movements in anticipation for the arrival of the kandak commander and brigade general. They spent the afternoon and evening sending rounds downrange, increas-ing their proficiency and becoming more confident with the weapon system.

“Artillery allows the ANA to provide that long-range fire when one of their friendly units comes under attack,” said Capt. Mitchell Moore, the commanding officer for Battery C, 1st Battalion, 12th Marines. “When the Unites States reduces (its) presence here, (the ANA) need to have that capability so when they operate outside the wire, they have that comfort umbrella of knowing wherever they are they have an ANA brother who can provide fire support.”

The ANA soldiers’ confidence began to show as they became more comfortable using the howitzers at the end of the second day of firing. Enthusiasm kept spirits high, and the Afghan soldiers showed they were capable and ready to perform for their leadership.

The final day of firing arrived and when the kandak commander and brigade general arrived, the Afghan soldiers snapped to attention, ready to demonstrate the full capabilities of the weapon system. The soldiers manned the gun line waiting for a fire mission from the forward observers, ANA soldiers placed downrange who call in targets. The Afghan soldiers executed properly when the call for fire came and, after being verified by their Marine mentors, the soldiers sent another volley of rounds into the air, eagerly seeking their targets.

The leadership was pleased with the demonstration, and the Marines said the training evolution was a success.

“The ANA are out here self supporting,” said Moore. “We are offering advice and sup-port. However, this is an Afghan-led training evolution. That is a real success from where we started when they weren’t sure of themselves and lacked confidence. Out here you see that confidence growing and the capability that goes with that.”

PETTY OFFICER 2ND CLASS MATTHEW SNODGRASSII Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward)

Marines finished training the first-ever Af-ghan Protec-tive Security

Detail class at the Joint Sustain-ment Academy Southwest, Camp Leatherneck, Helmand province, recently.

The PSD course taught the at-tending Afghan security forces how to provide personal security for high profile officials, similar to the role U.S. Secret Service details provide for American government officials.

“Assassinations of political and military leaders are common in Afghanistan, which deteriorates the security for Helmand prov-ince,” said Robert Josleyn, an in-structor and curriculum developer for the PSD course. “This course teaches Afghan soldiers how to ef-fectively protect high-level targets against assassination attempts.”

The 35 members of the Afghan Uniformed and Border Police com-pleted a rigorous 12-day course, which taught a variety of skills to help prepare them to thwart assas-sination attempts of the officials they will be protecting, includ-ing close-quarter marksmanship, battle tactics, tactical driving and protective security formations.

The Afghan police in atten-dance worked long, hard hours, but remained vigilant and enthu-siastic throughout the course, and the instructors were impressed throughout the training process, said Josleyn.

“Considering how quick the course is, the students really did pick up all the lessons we taught very fast,” said 1st Lt. Thomas

Malone, the JSAS training team’s leader. “Especially with the tactical driving session … many of the students had never driven before. But now they can operate a vehicle in a variety of tactical situations.”

Other instructors were im-pressed by the level of enthusiasm displayed by the students.

“The students always enjoy weapons training,” said 2nd Lt. Abdul Wahab, a PSD instructor from the Afghan Interior Ministry.

“Getting hands-on with the various weapons and tactics is always popular amongst the sol-diers. It builds their confidence and helps them become more ca-pable as personal security police officers.”

Wahab also said that the class was very important for the secu-rity and development of Helmand province.

“These are the ones who are going to save the lives of Afghan military commanders and gov-ernment officials,” said Wahab. “They protect the people who are at the front of bringing peace to Afghanistan.”

“The Joint Sustainment Acad-emy Southwest instructors want Afghanistan to become a prosper-ous nation,” added Terry Walker, the training adviser for JSAS, explaining the relevance of the course. “In order for this to hap-pen, Afghan leaders have to be able to safely interact with the public to know their concerns. The students of this course are critical for this, because they provide the security that allows this process to take place. This course and its in-structors are constantly adapting to meet emerging requirements that the Afghan Security Forces need to save lives and defend their leaders.”

“His passion was a hallmark of how he lived his life,” said Capt. Michael J. Mul-vaney, commanding officer, Company I, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines. “We all knew him as this goofy guy who was just as hap-py in the field as sitting in front of his TV watching NASCAR.”

The reflections were followed by re-marks from the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Christopher G. Dixon, several prayers for those who had perished and Taps.

“Many may call what we have a team,” said Mulvaney. “But it’s not. When you live together, sleep together, laugh with each other – you’re not a team; you’re brothers.”

Wounded warriors from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune showcased their kayaking skills in the 2011 Swansboro kayak race Saturday.

The second annual “Race for the Mullet Cup” was held at the Hammocks Beach State Park. The race featured two divisions, the Minnow Cup Division, which was a one-mile recreational race, and the Mullet Cup Division, which was a competitive three-mile race.

When kayak instructor Robert Smith, Jr. heard about the “Race for the Mullet Cup”,

the warrior athlete reconditioning program instructor asked wounded warriors in his kayak class if they wanted to participate. Their response was an enthusiastic yes.

“They said they wanted to do it,” said Smith. “So, I said ‘Okay, let’s go.’”

Smith joined three of his wounded warriors, Sgt. Robert Skalitsky, Sgt. Brandon Moore and Lance Cpl. Harrison Lee, Jr. for the Mullet Cup. As they arrived at Hammocks Beach State Park and their kayaks were loaded into the water, the group of four talked with each other about the task at hand.

When it came time for the race to begin, Smith and his kayakers paddled out to the waterway with their competitors. Family members, friends and event organizers gathered on a nearby dock to watch the beginning of the race. Kayakers were instructed to paddle up the waterway and loop around the mile and a half marker before paddling back to the starting point. Floating buoys served as markers for the race, letting competitors know where the race started, stopped and turned around.

As the last kayaker disappeared around the bend in the river, spectators guessed how long it would take them to return and stayed on the dock with their cameras, eager to see who the first kayaker would be to cross the finish line.

At 37 minutes and nine seconds, Leif Overturf was the first kayaker to cross the finish line. The real surprise, however, was who was close behind him. Paddling across the finish line with a race time of 37 minutes and 12 seconds was Skalitsky.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. 2B OCTOBER 13, 2011

During the autumn fishing season, anglers have a lot of questions about how to land their big catch. One of the questions I hear most frequently is how to make bait look tasty enough to distract fish from all the other bait in the water. This year, with the lack of bait available to anglers, a more pressing question has sprung up. How can an angler possibly catch anything when there is no bait around?

Even with a series of weak mullet runs along the beach this season, fish are only finding their way to hooks when there is bait in the water. In the last few weeks, anglers have caught very few drum, bluefish, trout and

flounder in the surf.

Last week helped the autumn fishing season turn around when an abundance of anchovies hit the surf. These

anchovies brought the waters to life and put anglers in fishing heaven. With Spanish, blues, ladyfish and false albacore chasing the anchovies, anglers could easily hook and reel in the fish of their choice. This is just one example of how natural bait aids fisherman.

This same principle also applies to the variety of baits that are available year round, such as silversides, menhaden, striped killifish and mud minnows. For the fish that like a little more crunch in their diet, anglers should look for areas where there is a surplus of crabs, sand fleas, sea urchins and shrimp.

Of course, bait isn’t the only thing that affects how many fish anglers can catch. Lately, with the dirty surf, high tides and strong currents, fishing has become a difficult task.

On the rare occasion that the tides are right and the currents are not too strong, anglers have seen scattered drum, Spanish, blues and ladyfish in the surf. Occasionally, sea mullet, pompano, small black drum and spots have also made an appearance. To the east of Fort Macon and in the Atlantic Beach area, anglers have also caught speckled trout, blues and a few bottom feeders.

Due to the rough waters offshore, fishing has been spotty. While anglers have managed to snag a few false albacore, catches are few and far in between.

It’s important for anglers to remember that as the water cools and the Spanish take their leave, the biggest of the fish are usually the last to make their exit.

As most anglers already know, spot season is in full swing and some good catches have been

reported. However, for every good catch we hear an angler raving over, we also hear an angler sharing the woes of his disappointing day.

My advice to anybody having a hard time finding the spot would be to try Gallant’s channel, Beaufort Inlet and the Morehead City Port Turning Basin. Plenty of boats line the Intracoastal Waterway, the Emerald Isle Bridge and the White Oak River Bridge.

Pier fishing is slow, but Oceanana Pier has reported blues, Spanish, spots and flounder.

Bogue Pier has seen some mullet, caught with sand fleas, and pompano on both bait and gold-hooked rigs with orange beads. Bogue Pier has also seen some Spanish that weighed in at more than two pounds.

Seaview Pier has reported slow fishing, with only a few spots, flounder, blues and pompano being caught at night.

Surf City has seen some good fishing with sea mullet, spots and pompano. There are lots of mullet in the surf, which brought the king mackerel with them.

NEW RIVER INLETTIDE TABLESWords to live by for

fall fi shing enthusiasts

It seems that the sports world has come to a grinding halt this year. The NFL lockout, MBA lockout and the NBA lockout have created turmoil in the sports world. Players and owners are constantly arguing over cash and fans are crossing their fingers and waiting to see when the games schedule will be announced.

Last week, the NBA canceled its preseason and announced that it would cancel the first two weeks of its regular sea-son if an agreement could not be reached between millionaire players and their equally-as-affluent owners.

If the NBA lockout continues, players might have to hold their wallets a little tighter and own-ers might need to start cutting back on their costs, but most of them will be able to make it through until the lockout is settled.

Others aren’t as fortu-nate. The absence of the preseason games have already had a devastating impact on the workers who are dependent upon them. The possibility of no games at all is enough to drive some of those dependents to unemploy-ment, a sad reality that players and owners don’t

seem to think about while they

argue over who gets what percentage of income.

I’ve heard enough in the last few weeks to say with confidence that I’m tired of listening to these people fight. They all make more money than most of us will ever dream of making. Many players have the luxury of signing with another team in another country if they are really desperate. They all have the ability to cut back on the spending and lower their standard of living without too much of a strain on their wal-lets. Tell me again why they’re fighting?

I wonder if these athletes and owners think of the impact the lockout has on the people around them. I’m sure questions of the fans and dependent employees cross their minds once in a while, but I wonder how often they really stop and think of the potential impact the lockout has. Not only does this lockout have the ability to put them out of work for a season, but it also put thousands of others at risk as well.

Have team own-ers spoken to the small business owners who are dependent on the season to keep their restaurant open? Have they listened to worried entrepreneurs who are concerned about

the lack of customers they will see if there is no basketball game to put on their big screen? I think that if more owners would take the time to do this, they wouldn’t be as concerned with fighting to get a little extra spend-ing money to pad their bank accounts.

The same goes for the players in the NBA. Has Kobe Bryant talked to the woman who slings hot-dogs at the concessions counter to see how the NBA lockout will affect her? What would he think upon receiving the news that an usher doesn’t have the money to pay his light bill? I wonder how impor-tant the extra income he’s fighting for would seem if he compared it to the income needed to main-tain an average standard of living.

I’m sure the lockout is tough on the players and the owners, who are ready to start the season and do their jobs, and I can understand and ap-preciate the fact that deal-ing with money is a tricky business, but I think they’re overlooking some major factors in this lock-out. While they fight over who gets what percent-age, employees who are dependent on the NBA are fighting over who gets to keep their job.

If players and owners could stop fighting long enough to take a look around and see the im-pact the lockout is having on the rest of the NBA franchise, it might give them some perspective.

What is more impor-tant; a new car for Kobe or electricity for Betty the concessions worker?

NBA lockout affects more than just athletes, owners

Devil Pups triumph over East CarteretJESSIE HEATHSports editor

After a rough loss against Jones High School Oct. 3, the Lejeune High School Devil Pups took to the field to show what they were made of during their home-coming festivities.

Devil Pups and their families crowded into the stadium for their 2011 homecoming game at Brewster Middle School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Friday.

Led by a 28-yard run by Akile Jones, the Devil Pups charged past the Mariners to take the lead just a few minutes into the first quarter. Gaven Allen followed Jones’s example with a second touchdown several minutes later, paving the way for Stephen DiCenso to bring home a third touch-down. By the end of the first quarter, the Devil Pups held a solid 19-0 lead over the Carteret Mariners, giving them a solid start to their homecoming game.

“(Jones) had a great start tonight,” said LHS Head Coach Darryl Schwartz. “He played a great game and really helped us solidify our win.”

“I was concerned when I saw the film reel,” continued Schwartz. “They looked re-ally poor on film. But when we started playing, every-thing looked much better and I was able to relax a little more.”

In the second quarter, following a two-yard run by DiCenso, East Carteret came back with a 10-yard run. The touchdown wasn’t enough to sway the Devil Pups, who continued to push forward with a 17-yard run by Jones, totaling 32 points for the Devil Pups and six points for the East Carteret Mariners at half-time.

Coming back into the third quarter, the Devil Pups continued to control the game with Jones’s third touchdown of the night and Jamaz Richardson’s 75-yard punt return. East Carteret attempted to turn the game around with a 26-yard pass that led to their second touchdown of the night, but the Devil Pups were relent-less and held the Mariners at bay.

“Our defensive line was on the ball tonight,” said Schwartz. “As soon as I saw how great our line blocking looked, I knew we were in for a fantastic game.”

Leading the defensive line was middle linebacker Austin Downey, who had a total of eight tackles, four of which were solo and four of which were assisted, during Friday’s game. Downey and the rest of the defensive line were instrumental in holding the Mariners at bay, said Schwartz.

Fatigue couldn’t hold the Devil Pups back as they headed into the final quarter. East Carteret squeezed in a final touchdown but it wasn’t enough to overturn the game. As the Devil Pups celebrated their eighth touch-down of the night, bringing the score to 51-20, where it would stay for the remain-der of the game, fans in the bleachers went wild, know-ing their game was won.

“Our second team played a whole half tonight,” said Schwartz. “That’s something to be proud of. These guys played a great game tonight. Everyone put their minds to the task at hand and look how good the outcome was.”

Looking forward to to-morrow’s game against Pam-lico County High School, Schwartz said his team faced a new challenge.

“The goal is to keep the good plays up next week,” said Schwartz. “We’ve been here before. We come off a great game and go play a sorry game the next week. These boys have proved that they can play and play well. Our challenge next week will be to show Pamlico that we won’t back down. We’re not going away.”

The Devil Pup’s will face Pamlico County tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at Pamlico.

Warrior ride rolls on despite accidentJESSIE HEATHSports editor

A group of bikers peddled down highway 17 in Holly Ridge last Thursday as trucks, vans and cars zipped past, frustrated at the traffic backed up behind the bikes. Confined between a U-haul and a bus, 18 cyclists slowly made their way to Wilmington while flags representing different branches of the armed forces fluttered from the backs of their bikes.

Bob and Debra Racine don’t care about the traffic or the speed; their focus is on the wounded warriors who are riding the bikes. The husband and wife team from Oak Island began The Warrior Ride project in 2005 as a spin-off of another wounded warrior project.

The Racines began to host one ride for wounded warriors every year, promoting the ride as a time for service men and women to fellowship with each other and draw strength from others who understood their trials.

Since its inception, The Warrior Ride has grown from one ride to seven rides, which take place in North and South Carolina, Pennsylvania and other states where the Racines see a need to be met.

“This is our sixth annual ride in Holly Ridge,” said Bob Racine, co-founder of The Warrior Ride. “We have two more rides scheduled this year and hope to have even more next year.”

The three-day bike ride from Holly Ridge to Oak Island was punctuated by visits at area schools along the way. More than 1,200 students gathered at Topsail Middle School to greet

the wounded warriors and Team Racine. Cape Fear Community College students and staff members also opened their doors and hosted A Warrior Ride ceremony when the team rolled onto their campus Thursday afternoon. Children at Virginia Williamson Elementary School of Brunswick County welcomed The Warrior Ride on Friday.

“I like to take these guys to schools and out in the community during our rides,” said Bob Racine. “It’s important for the community to see that they are still valuable, even though they’ve been injured.”

Bob Racine, who fully

embraces the fact that school-aged children are the “leaders of tomorrow,” believes that it is imperative to introduce young people to the sacrifices made by those in uniform.

“They need to see the sacrifice our service men and women make and understand that it doesn’t come without a cost,” said Bob Racine. “I want to show them that. But, one thing I won’t do is subject any of my riders to the press. They won’t be forced to say or do anything during our stops at the schools. It’s not about spotlight for them. For them, it’s about riding and being together.”

Retired service member

Tom Nugent understands the importance of being together. Nugent was injured when his helicopter was shot out of the sky during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

When his permanent injuries sidelined him, Nugent had to find something else to do. In 2008, he saw The Warrior Ride pass through a Wilmington intersection. He pulled over to the side of the road and asked what the bikers were doing. Ten minutes later, he was telling his wife that he would see her in three days and would be learning to ride a bike again with Team Racine and the rest of their wounded warriors.

“I told them I was a wounded warrior and (Racine) pulled a bike out of the back of a truck, duct taped my jeans around my ankles so they wouldn’t get caught, put a helmet on my head and told me to tell my wife I would call her later,” said Nugent.

Since he began riding with The Warrior Ride, Nugent has gotten off some of his pills for his TBI and has made significant progress in his recovery.

“(The Warrior Ride) is exhilarating,” said Nugent. “It’s something I can do with my injury. It something that motivates me to be out here with other wounded warriors

and they keep me going.”It’s easy to see that

Nugent isn’t the only one motivated by his fellow riders. When a car accidentally bumped two cyclists on their way to Wilmington Thursday, The Warrior Ride was thought to be cancelled until its riders voted to push on since nobody was seriously injured in the accident.

“It was voted by the wounded warriors that we would continue the ride,” said Bob Racine. “We did, in fact, continue with the two service members who were involved in the accident.”

The Warrior Ride completed its full course and arrived in Oak Island Saturday for a celebratory bike ride around the island and a big cookout celebration.

“We still have two small rides left to finish this year,” said Bob Racine. “We’re hoping to spread the word and get more wounded warriors out to ride with us. They don’t have to pay anything. We will provide everything they need, from hotels to equipment to food. All they have to do is come out and support one another. Supporting each other is as much a part of recovery as the physical adaptations these service men and women face.”

“It’s understood that not everybody can ride the entire way,” continued Bob Racine. “If anybody gets tired, we load them into the van and let them ride inside for a while. They can rejoin the group whenever they are ready to, without any questions asked.”

JESSIE HEATHSports editor

It’s been almost 28 years since a truck full of explosives ripped through Marine barracks in

Beirut, Lebanon, killing 241 American Marines, sailors and soldiers. Prior to the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the Beirut bombing was the deadliest terrorist attack on Americans in the world.

Today, the Beirut Memorial sits outside the gates of Camp Johnson near downtown Jacksonville.

Hundreds gathered at the Camp Johnson gymnasium to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in Beirut through a 10K run, Saturday.

The 6.2-mile run carried runners through Camp Johnson, the old Knox Housing Area and historical Montford Point on a flat, scenic asphalt course. Although the run was part of the Grand Prix series aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the circumstances surrounding it were anything but ordinary.

“We’re here to honor the people who gave their lives for us,” said Linda Walker, wife of Maj. Len Walker. “This is important history, especially around Jacksonville and MCB Camp Lejeune.”

Walker, who signed herself and her husband up for the 10K run aboard Camp Johnson, broke her arm prior to the run but did not let her injury stop her from attending what she referred to as “an important event in Marine Corps history.”

“When I signed us up, I thought it would be a nice way to remember those who gave their lives,” said Walker. “When my doctor told me I couldn’t run, I decided to come out and watch. If I can’t run, at least I can cheer on those who do get to run.”

As runners stretched and the morning fog lifted away, a voice came over the loud speakers

from the back of the Semper Fit mobile unit, announcing that the colors would be hoisted prior to the run’s 8 a.m. start time.

“Of course that was significant part of the day,” said Walker. “It’s the appropriate way to begin a run like this.”

Once the run was underway, Walker sat back in her lawn chair at the finish line to wait for the first of the runners to cross. As she did so, she took the time to reflect on the run and its significance to the U.S. military.

“We’re reaching an age where younger people don’t know about the Beirut bombing,” said Walker. “They don’t know what happened on that day or how it shaped

us. It’s important that we don’t forget it, just like we won’t forget the Sept. 11 attacks.”

“Having the run on Camp Johnson is special,” continued Walker. “It is sacred in a way. The Marines are very close knit and that’s something to be proud of. Things like this just bring our community closer together.”

In an already closely-knit community, Walker’s observations brought more attention to the community surrounding the Beirut Memorial 10K. As Avery Mouton crossed the finish line as the first place winner with a time of 35 minutes and 40 seconds, he was handed a bottle of water and waited on the sidelines to see who would cross the

finish line next. As soon as Cpl. Jordan Freking crossed the line, Mouton greeted him with a high five and a bottle of water.

As more and more Marines and civilians crossed the finish line, the spirit of camaraderie grew more noticeable. Complete strangers congratulated one another and brought each other fruit and drinks, gathering in groups to talk about the run.

“It was the perfect day for running,” said Mouton, the son of Chief Warrant Officer 4 Ken Mouton. “I came home from college to run this race and my dad decided to run it with me. He decided to run right before the race started.”

Mouton, who runs the Grand Prix series for

fun, is a collegiate cross country runner. Even though he hadn’t been born when the Beirut bombing occurred, he said the impact was pretty clear.

“We don’t have a run memorializing everything,” said Mouton. “So you know it’s pretty important.”

Freking, who finished the 10K in second place seconds after Mouton, was running not only to remember those who were lost in Beirut, but also to push himself.

“I’ve run in every Grand Prix race except two,” said Freking. “I’ve been lucky enough to place high in most of them. I’m trying to win the series, which means that I have to be out here, pushing myself to do my

personal best.”Walker said it didn’t

matter what the reason was the people came out to run the Beirut Memorial 10K, as long as they ran.

“It attracts people to our history,” said Walker. “It educates the younger ones who either don’t remember or weren’t alive. That’s why it’s so important. Runs like this keep our history alive.”

The next Grand Prix run, the Neuse River Bridge Run, will feature 5K, 10K and half marathon options. The race will be held Saturday in New Bern.

Beirut 10K remembers those who gave ultimate sacrifi ce

Photo by Jessie HeathRunners prepare to begin the Beirut Memorial 10K race at the starting line at the Camp Johnson gymnasium Saturday. The Beirut 10K served as a run to remember those who lost their lives in the barracks bombing in Beirut 28 years ago.

“I never expected to win,” said Skalitsky, who was visibly tired after the three-mile race. “I never expected to do as well as I did. I was just out here to have fun and try my hardest.”

As Skalitsky and Smith paddled toward the finish line, Smith did something surprising. He leaned forward and started yelling at Skalitsky. His odd method of instructing prompted Skalitsky to paddle harder and push all the way through the finish line instead of coasting through it.

“I always yell,” said Smith, laughing slightly at the surprised expressions of the event

organizers. “It’s exciting. It expels adrenaline and pumps people up.”

Smith, who came in third place with a finish time of 37 minutes, 20 seconds, said he knew that Skalitsky and the rest of the wounded warriors were concerned about not doing as well as they could in the race.

Skalitsky admitted that he was worried he would not represent MCB Camp Lejeune the way he wanted to.

“I’m not just out here for me, myself and I,” said Skalitsky. “I’m out here for the Marines who didn’t come back from deployment and for the ones who came back but can’t do things like this now because of their

injuries. I wanted to make sure I represented them.”

Skalitsky started kayaking with Smith as part of the Warrior Athlete Reconditioning program in spring 2011 and quickly found that kayaking was something he enjoyed doing.

“I had to pick an event from the (Warrior Athlete Reconditioning) program, so I picked kayaking. When I saw it on there, I thought to myself ‘I could get paid to kayak? Sounds good.’ So, I signed up. After getting out a couple of times, I found that I really enjoyed it.”

The Warrior Athlete Reconditioning program is a rehabilitation-type program that is individually designed to meet the needs, desires and physician’s recommendations for wounded warriors. Wounded warriors have more than 10 options when enrolling in the WAR program, which focuses on helping them either return to full duty or transition into civilian life.

“The WAR program has been good for me,” said Skalitsky. “When I go kayak, any pain I have

leaves. It’s relaxing.”When it came time to

compete in the Race for the Mullet Cup, though, it wasn’t about relaxing anymore.

“We can still do things,” said Skalitsky. “Wounded warriors can still get out and do a lot if they just try. We all proved that today by coming out here and participating in this race. We came out here and we didn’t let the guys who couldn’t come down.”

“I’m glad they came today,” said Smith. “I’m glad they were willing to get out and push. They

all did very well.”When asked what was

next for the kayakers in the WAR program, Smith shrugged. “We start kayaking again on Tuesday. I’ll give them Monday off,” he joked.

Skalitsky and the rest of the wounded warriors joined event organizers for a cookout after the race ended.

Skalitsky and Smith were given trophies for second and third place, but according to Skalitsky, the real award is knowing what they accomplished by making the effort to race.

Starting tomorrow, Atlantic Marine Corps Com-munities officials will start receiving noncommis-sioned officer housing referrals from the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Housing Office to fill unoccupied staff noncommissioned officer homes in the Berkeley Manor housing area aboard the base.

The final plan was determined based on the re-sults of a survey conducted online by AMCC resi-dents as well as a town-hall style meeting that took place last month at the Russell Marine and Family Services Center aboard the MCB Camp Lejeune. AMCC, along with Col. Daniel J. Lecce, the MCB Camp Lejeune commanding officer, proposed three options to fill the homes, since not enough SNCOs occupy the residences.

The three options all included the integration of NCOs into a traditionally all-SNCO housing area. The active-duty NCO families would come from base housing waiting lists. These options raised some questions, such as “different pay, same housing” as well as concerns about fraternization. Some families voiced their preference for single-family homes while others preferred the new larger townhomes in Watkins Village.

Following the town hall, all information from residents was reviewed and discussed by base leadership to determine the best possible solution to solve the housing vacancy issue. Ultimately, as a result of a suggestion made by a resident at the town hall, the decision to integrate Berkeley Manor was made, leaving Watkins Village as is and the fi-nal area for integration within the Berkeley Manor housing area segregated along larger natural com-munity breaks and road divisions.

Kathleen Murney, project director for AMCC, said that the first portion of the Berkeley Manor homes that will be integrated with NCO families will still contain some SNCOs initially, but the area is still under renovation and will have the most va-cant homes with the least number of SNCO fami-lies inconvenienced.

“The SNCOs and their families who are cur-rently living there can remain in their current home or they can complete an AA form through their command and submit it to the MCB Camp Leje-une Military Housing Office to be relocated to a SNCO neighborhood, such as new Watkins Grove and Knox Landing areas, which are slated to be completed by summer of next year,” said Mur-ney. “While the move will be at residents’ expense, AMCC will pay a partial dislocation allowance to help with cable and phone reconnection costs.”

To break it down, the areas selected in the Berke-ley Manor neighborhood will include all residences north of Maryland Avenue. The process is bro-ken into three phases. The first phase includes all residences north of Colorado Avenue and west of Michigan Street. The area is under renovation and is 70 percent complete. Phase one will be 100 per-cent complete with the transition to NCO housing before phase two or three will start.

Once phase one is complete, referrals will pour into phase two homes east of Michigan Street and every home encompassed by the Colorado Avenue loop.

Bravery might be defined as the quality of man that makes them defy the greatest of odds to do what is right, regardless of personal cost. Even if one’s life is dependent on the outcome of a certain event, he or she will charge ahead without a moment’s notice.

Men and women who display such acts of brav-ery might be hard to come by, yet 19 brave men and women stood together to be recognized for such selfless acts when they, members of the Environ-mental Conservation Branch, Environmental Man-agement Division, Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une, were lauded for their efforts during the March forest fire in the Greater Sandy Run training area at

the ECB building, Oct. 5.These individuals were personally involved in a va-

riety of fire-fighting activities which aided in the even-tual extinguishing of the month-long, 9,000-acre blaze that threatened the immediate MCB Camp Lejeune area. These firefighters were presented with certifi-cates of commendation in a ceremony held in front of one of the bulldozers used in the operation.

“It was one of the largest wildfires we’ve had aboard (MCB) Camp Lejeune in a long while,” said Bill Rog-ers, head of the ECB. “These guys were the first on the scene, and to do everything they did without any injuries is nothing short of impressive.”

To put their commitment to the job in perspective, for the few weeks that the fire was at its worse, each firefighter was logging 12 to 16 hours per day, seven

days a week, risking their lives in the fire and smol-dering timber as the blaze steadily worked its way toward Holly Ridge. However, through persistence and the aid of the city and states’ firefighting forces, the inferno was contained, managed and eventually extinguished.

“Normally, the usual blunt of fires we have on base are put out in a matter of hours, not a matter of months like this one,” said Dan Becker, manager of the Forest Protection Program with the ECB. “It was through their countless hours of continual training and exceptional dedication to duty that they were able to take control of a fire of that magnitude and ensure no one was injured.”

Passersby driving their normal route to work on McHugh Bou-levard aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune may have gotten a surprise in the early morning hours, Oct. 5. Nearly 700 service members and civilians line the road, working up a sweat during the Combined Federal Campaign 5k run.

However, the run itself was not the focus of the morning. It was a promotional tool to attract people to the donation campaign, now in its 50th year.

The CFC is an annual fundrais-ing drive that provides an oppor-tunity for federal civilian, postal and military employees to donate to local, national and internation-al non-profit organizations. The mission of the CFC, as established by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, is to promote and support philanthropy through a program that is employee-focused, cost-efficient and effective in providing all federal employees the opportu-nity to improve the quality of life for all, according to the campaign’s website. To date, more than $5 bil-lion has been raised.

Since Sept. 8 of this year, the Onslow County CFC unit co-ordinators aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Sta-tion New River and surrounding installations have been spreading awareness about the campaign, us-ing various methods, such as the 5K run.

Maj. Micah M. Miller, envi-ronmental counsel for the Eastern Area Counsel Office, MCB Camp Lejeune and the CFC’s MCB Camp Lejeune uniform command coordinator, said the run went well and was a great way to get the word out about the CFC.

“(The Onslow County CFC) wants to thank everyone who came out for the run,” said Miller. “The CFC 5K was a great way to get the message out. We need to contact as many people as we can. Our goal is 100 percent contact of base personnel.”

Miller added that while dis-cussing the CFC “in passing” has been considered making contact in the past, he focuses on the quality contacts – through those who can have an impact on the majority of others.

“Through presentations given by unit representatives, we are able to get the word out by informing leaders who will then inform their subordinates,” said Miller. “The

CFC provides a great service to the potential donators. The CFC screens out each charitable orga-nization ahead of time, even the same organization that has been on the list for years to make sure they are in fact legit. This informa-tion is designed to inform those who want to contribute so they know exactly where their money is going.”

Donating, however, according to the national trend, is on the decline. As Americans have seen the ugly side of the sluggish economy the past few years, so have charities.

According to a Wall Street Jour-nal article last year, philanthropy has become less prevalent. Since 2008, national annual donations have dropped from $315 billion to nearly $300 billion reported last year.

Last year, the Onslow County CFC raised more than $960,000. Miller added that since the pro-gram is designed for federal em-ployees and especially during an uncertain economy, the time to donate is now.

MCB Camp Lejeune, MCAS New River and the surrounding installations, contribute greatly to the immediate area outside the bases.

Last month at a Historical Soci-ety of Topsail Island luncheon in Topsail Island, the Topsail Adver-tiser reported through construction projects and income from base per-sonnel, the local economies bene-fited at least $6 billion in 2010.

“When hard times occur (across the country), it affects everyone,” Miller said. “So when people (and charitable organizations) need it the most, people here can afford to

give. It’s a vicious cycle.”Darnita Butts, a management

analyst with the Manpower De-partment, Marine Corps Installa-tions East, was named chairwom-an of the CFC’s Local Federal Coordinating Committee this year, and her job is to make sure local CFC coordinators are as proactive about the program as possible.

“It’s not only our job to make people aware of the program, but also to make them aware about what some of these organizations do,” said Butts. “When we had the tornado and hurricane come through here, there were nonprof-its out there helping the service members and their families out. With people knowing how these charities are helpful to humanity, hopefully that will entice them to donate.”

In the past, the only way federal employees and service members could make a donation was to fill out a form and make a payroll de-duction. Now, to help simplify the process, the CFC is in its second year of providing E-giving, which is an automated process of making a donation online.

“Last year, the CFC (did) a test run of donating online,” said Butts. “This year, it’s fully opera-tional and they have worked out the bugs.”

The CFC awareness campaign will officially end Dec. 2, with new organizations set to apply to be put on the list in January for the 2012 campaign.

During the fall and winter months, many animals that are not hiber-nating face freez-

ing weather, another challenge for many of them is food.

Without food, the animals of Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une would slowly whittle away. However, the MCB Camp Lejeune Environmental Management Divi-sion personnel are working hard to ensure this does not happen.

“We have approximately 250 acres of small, managed clear-ings scattered throughout the base. They range in size from half an acre to more than five acres,” said Marty Korenek, a wildlife biologist with Land and Wildlife Resources Section, Environmental Manage-ment Division. “Food plots have long been used by wildlife manag-ers as a means to supplement the diets of wildlife during times of stress or during periods of the year when nutritional natural forage was deficient or lacking. They are also used to concentrate wildlife species such as white-tailed deer or

turkeys for hunting or viewing.”After the Labor Day weekend,

Conservation Branch (wildlife and forestry) personnel were hard at work tilling the soil to prepare the seedbed to make way for the differ-ent types of seed they were going to plant.

Once an area has been tilled, a seeder, called a drill, will roll through and plant the seeds. From there, nature takes its course and in as little as one week, their labor will pay off with new growth be-coming visible. Wildlife food plots are planted each fall with cool sea-son plant species including, oats, wheat and several clover species. Soil amendments like fertilizer and lime are also spread in the food plots.

Animals are not the only ones that benefit from food plots, hunt-ers can take advantage of the many plots scattered throughout MCB Camp Lejeune.

“All the food plots are within designated hunting areas,” said Korenek.

While hunters can use these ar-eas for their advantage, leaving the food plots unharmed is not only beneficial for the animals, but the next hunter who comes along as

well. Some people, however, take advantage of an open field and can devastate the plots.

“We do have vandals, for a lack of a better word who come in on their trucks, while some are un-intentional and only use the edge to turn their vehicles, others come with malicious intent,” said Kore-nek. Food plots are expensive to develop and maintain. A signifi-cant portion of the annual budget for wildlife food plots is generated by hunters through the sale of base hunting permits. We make quite an investment in materials like signs, equipment, seed, fertilizer fuel, and labor and take a lot of pride in our work. It’s a real disappoint-ment to discover a food plot that has been tore up. It’s senseless.”

Even with signs stating that the area is a food plot and no vehicles are allowed, this has not stopped everyone from hurting a temporary food plot that the Environmental Management Division has put so much work into.

Even with damages, food plots are a necessity for the base and will continue to flourish during harsh seasons and provide the animals with an alternative food option when there is nothing left.

bravery save for their firefighting equipment – a casual first glance at these civilians would prate of nothing. Yet, they stood in their matching yellow work shirts before Col. Dan-iel J. Lecce, commanding officer of MCB Camp Lejeune, being recognized for their noble endeavors.

“What this group did was absolutely tremendous and critically important to the base,” said Lecce. “Out of all the natural disasters that have happened since I became the CO of the base, this one was by far the most threaten-ing. For what they did because of it, I cannot thank them enough.”

Yet, with the seemingly natural call-to-arms against an inhuman force, the firefighters keep a humble outlook to-ward their actions, saying that their response to the fire was not out of the ordinary.

“I’ve been engaged in firefighting services for about sev-en years now, and this was one of the worst fires I’ve been involved with,” said Kyle Avesing, a tractor plow crew-member with the ECB. “But just because of that, we didn’t go above and beyond what we normally do – this is our job, this is what we signed up to do. Some days are going to be worse than others. We just have to do our best every day.”

Although these firefighters may speak lightly of their ef-forts in March, it is an uncommon thing to look into the burning pit of a dragon’s belly and walk into it without hes-itation. Without their work, the fire might have engulfed a lot more than forest.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune officials marked the grand opening of Mess Hall 227 during a ribbon-cutting ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 5.

The mess hall is the largest aboard the base and it is the first two-story mess hall in the Department of De-fense, according to Master Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Middlebrooks, Senior food technician with MCB Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Installations East.

“We have to reinvest into the fu-ture,” said Middlebrooks. “This mess hall is the result of (the Marine Corps 202k increase), many of who will be utilizing the facility. It’s one of several mess halls that are under construction here.”

Many of the mess halls on MCB Camp Lejeune were built during World War II and were becoming out-dated, but base officials are currently in the process of replacing them with new, college-style mess halls.

“The Marine Corps is transition-ing,” said Middlebrooks. “This is a volunteer force and quality of life for Marines is just as important as tech-nology that evolves for new weapons systems. Everything has to be bal-anced, and (keep) pace.”

Mess Hall 227 replaced Mess Hall 9 and 211. The two-story building is able to seat 500 people and offers foods such as Mongolian barbecue, Panini sandwiches, pasta and a pizza station. Many Marines have said the best part is they can eat as much as they want.

Middlebrooks said the Mongolian grill itself is so huge that they had to crane it into the building before the roof was built.

“Thirty years ago, there was only one meat, one starch and the bever-age choice was water, coffee and may-be tea,” said Middlebrooks. “There weren’t alternatives to what you had to eat.”

The new class of mess halls across base provides a variety of foods, re-laxing atmosphere and in addition to those great features, it is also Leader-

ship in Energy and Environmental Design certified, equipped with things such as solar-powered water heaters and metering devices to monitor en-ergy usage.

Charles Cone, the base food service officer with MCB Camp Lejeune, said the new mess hall is state-of-the-art. They will feed service members and be energy efficient.

It takes a significant amount of planning and team effort to construct and manage this dining facility. The normal culinary experts all have to have the minimum requirement for food preparation serving, but there is an executive chief who manages this facility.

“Not very many installations in the Marine Corps go under construction for things such as this,” said Middle-brooks. “That’s the installation com-mander saying ‘I’m concerned about the quality of life of my Marines’ and doing something to improve it. I’ve been in every mess hall in the Marine Corps, and there’s nothing like our two-story mess hall.”

Base opens up career center for sailorsPFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAKMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The number of sailors aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is small, and when sailors are stationed aboard a ‘green-side’ base, the number of educational programs and services that assist sailors may be just as small.

Something had to be done to find a solution to ef-ficiently and effectively help sailors achieve their goals. The answer was to consolidate and centralize the re-sources offered aboard the base. The opening of the first Navy Career Information Development Center did ex-actly that.

“I’m excited about what this means for us, for our leaders and for our sailors,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Lisa Ceron, lead petty officer with NCIDC. “One of the biggest challenges is trying to open up a Navy facility on a Marine Corps Base. Finding stuff that we needed, such as the space and support, was difficult.”

The mission of the center is to standardize Navy pro-grams for sailors assigned to II Marine Expeditionary

Force and major subordinate commands. The center is equipped with training classrooms, a computer lab and staff support.

The center offers career counseling by qualified staff, a career resources library, which includes Navy instruc-tions, manuals, handbooks and workshops to review Navy resources and career enhancement programs, as well as transition assistance counseling and individual planning for sailors leaving the Navy.

The center can help sailors develop their specific goals so they have a chance to obtain the education they want.

“It’s essential for sailors to develop their skills,” said Ceron. “It’s easy to read a book, take a test and get pro-moted, but you aren’t developed. This center will be here to help sailors by focusing on the individual. Developing an education with the operational tempo can be difficult, and the center is a way to get away from the chaos.”

For information on the Navy Career Information De-velopment Center, call 451-4070. The NCIDC is build-ing 321, located on Holcomb Boulevard.

All service members, families and civilians are cordially invited to attend the Joint Daytime Ceremony at 10 a.m. aboard Marine Corps

Base Camp Lejeune to observe Marine Corps tradition, which includes a historical

pageant presented by Marines donning the many uniforms since 1775, and the cake

cutting ceremony. All service members, not in the ceremony, are required to be in the uniform of the day. Civilians are requested to wear appropriate civilian attire. In the

case of inclement weather, the event will be cancelled.

PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAKMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

According to facts provided by the North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Vio-lence, there were 70 domestic violence homicides reported in 2009, and 83 percent of those victims were killed with firearms.

Alarming facts such as these are eye-opening, but when a person is a victim of do-mestic violence, it can sometimes be hidden right in plain sight, surfacing only when problems escalate, exposing external and internal scars.

Domestic violence can dramatically affect a family, and it can also impact the mis-sion readiness of the service member. To address this problem, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Community Counseling Center held the Domestic Violence Aware-ness and Prevention Conference 2011 Proclamation Signing Ceremony, Oct. 3. The ceremony was an all-day event, starting with the signing of the proclamation by Col. Daniel Lecce, commanding officer of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, declaring October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which was then followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony.

“Domestic violence is a big problem, especially among our younger families,” said Lecce. “But its effects reach across all generations and it’s one of those things that in the past was kept under wraps. But I think what we need to do is bring it to the forefront, publicize it and make people act on it.”

A guest speaker shared her story and the challenges she faced with being the victim of domestic violence. As she spoke in front of the audience, her voice was slightly shaken, and those who watched could clearly see that it caused an emotional relapse while she shared her experience. But as her story came close to end, the light in her eyes told a story of triumph over a problem that many people in the world face.

Actors performed a dramatization to give the audience a live, up-close look at what victims may go though.

John Guard, a representative with Major Crimes Division, Pitt County Sheriff ’s Office in N.C., also shared stories and facts to promote awareness and offered tips on preventative steps to deal with domestic violence.

“Domestic violence cuts across every social and economic boundary, and it exists in every race group,” said Guard. “It affects everybody, either directly or indirectly.

“Victims of domestic violence should be able to find help at any point,” continued Guard. “There isn’t one certain doorway they have to walk through to get help. It could be anyone, media, neighbors, friends or family.”

The proclamation was a necessary step needed to give light to a serious matter that affects the lives of everyone around, including the mission of the military.

“The fight against domestic violence is the purpose of the event, and our mission is to make people aware so they can do something about it,” said Lecce.

Brian Nohr, a victim advocate supervisor with the Community Counseling Center, Marine Corps Community Services, wants victims of domestic violence to know there are people who want to help.

“We really want to shed light on the matter and support the victims, “said Brian Nohr, a victim advocate supervisor with Community Counseling Center, MCCS. “We want to let them know that there is help available.”

October marks Domestic Violence Awareness, Prevention Month

MARSOC screening event to take place in Camp LejeunePFC. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The Marine Corps has been known throughout history as the toughest fighting force of any military organization, and the same goes for another group of Marines.

Marine Corps Special Operations Com-mand, better known as MARSOC, is that group, and if you think you have what it takes to be a part of it, the MARSOC screen-ing team is holding a screening event for po-tential candidates at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Male and female Marines from all military occupational specialties are welcome at the event, which will serve as an introduction to MARSOC. While those who preregister will be seen first, the event is open to all Marines.

“We’re looking for strong, mature, dis-ciplined, intelligent, physically fit, capable, mentally agile and ethical critical thinkers,” said Maj. Jeffrey A. Landis, the MARSOC public affairs officer. “We look for Marines like this because we need to operate in com-plex uncertain environments.”

MARSOC recruiters will work with Ma-rines in order to qualify. Requirements Ma-rines must fulfill include having a general technical score of 105 or above on the armed services vocational aptitude battery test, a requirement that cannot be waived. Marines must be eligible for a secret security clearance, must pass the MARSOC swim assessment, be willing to reenlist and have a physical fit-ness test score of 225 or above.

“Marines should be aiming for 270 or above (on their PFT),” a MARSOC re-cruiter said “Coming over to us is extremely

competitive. Attitude plays a big role. I want someone who’s going to be optimistic in the most undesirable conditions, and brings forth a great attitude.”

Marines who wish to retain their current MOS are welcome within MARSOC and can receive additional training to become spe-cial operations capabilities specialists. Repre-sentatives from various MOSs will be present at the event to answer questions.

The event will kick off with a brief that will begin at 8 a.m. and another at 1 p.m. The brief will include a video and presentations from recruiters and monitors. Afterwards, interested parties will move on through the selection and screening process.

Candidates who make it through the pro-cess will designate a time they can go through assessment and selection.

“The privilege of (MARSOC being a part of Special Operations Command) is that our mission will never go away,” he said. “So we need to find Marines that are absolutely se-cure in deploying, especially when it comes to family. If they are married, that’s not to say that we’re a pager unit, but just because you’re (stateside) doesn’t mean you’re going to be home. Individuals need to understand that the priority is the mission.”

Marines who make it through MAR-SOC’s initial training will leave with unbeat-able credentials. They will be full spectrum Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape qualified, will be trained in a foreign lan-guage, and the potention to be airborne and dive qualified among other highly-sought af-ter credentials.

For information, please call 451-0099/3349.

Phase three, which constitutes homes west of Florida Avenue and north of Maryland Avenue, will begin the transition following Phase two.

“Occupancy and demand will drive the timelines for phase two and three to become NCO housing,” stated Dixie Lanier-Johnson, the strategic marketing manager with AMCC. “It is expected that the complete transi-tion could take up to three years or more.”

All in all, AMCC hopes to have the transition completed by 2014.

“Each neighborhood has its own waiting list determined by rank,” said Lanier-Johnson. “Incoming families can go to our website and check out the areas they would want to live. Depending on that, it will determine if the family will be put on a waiting list or not. By opening up the SNCO housing to NCOs, more families will move into homes faster, which is a good thing.”

Murney said AMCC needs to maintain a 95 percent occupancy rate to ensure proper management, reno-vations and upgrades can happen.

“We are here to make sure that service members and their families have good quality homes to live in,”

said Murney. “Without sufficient SNCOs, the next option is NCOs to fill the gap. Homes must be occupied to ensure proper maintenance and long-term repairs are possible.”

Lanier-Johnson added that the service members’ basic allowance for housing goes to repay the debt used to demolish and rebuild the homes along with utilities, $20,000 renters insurance, fire, police, landscaping and other amenities. The re-designa-tion of the Berkeley Manor housing area will allow the occupancy to re-main high.

To get the word out to Marines and sailors across base about the re-designation plan, Sergeant Major William C. Rice, the MCB Camp Lejeune sergeant major, already con-tacted sergeants major across MCB Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River and surrounding installations.

“I have briefed sergeants major from the tenant commands and regi-ments about what’s going on,” said Rice. “This is the final plan that came out of meetings between base and AMCC officials. Unfortunately, as with any situation, you can’t make everyone happy. But, this was a plan designed to address all the issues.”

Mumfestblossoms into premier fall event

AMY BINKLEYAssistant managing editor

Mum’s the word – but it’s no secret.

Throughout the years, tens of thousands of people have trekked to the tiny town of New Bern, N.C.

Some come for the history, others for the romance, but every October for the past 31 years, there’s only been one thing on the minds of perennial visitors.

Mumfest, the town’s annual fall festival, charged into its third decade in style, taking over the entire downtown area and welcoming more than 80,000 people for a weekend of family fun and entertainment, Saturday and Sunday.

“Since 1980, we’ve watched Mumfest grow from a small, one-day event into a major festival,” said Susan Moffat-Thom-as, festival director. “This year’s (festival) features 300 artists, crafters, exhibitors and savory food vendors.”

The award-winning event has been recognized as one of the finest family festivals in North Carolina and one of the top 20 October festivals in the southeastern United States.

Skillfully arranging a mixed bouquet of new attractions with old favorites, Mumfest sets the standard for similar events and has gained an impeccable reputation as the season’s can’t-miss festival.

“We’ve lived here for a long time,” said retired Sgt. James Murphy. “It’s always nice to come out and walk around. We love coming down and getting the whole family out.”

Mumfest’s free admission and plethora of activities enticed hundreds of service members and their families to join in on the fun.

Airman 1st Class Robert Wainwright finished his training in Virginia just in time for the big weekend.

“I try to come every year to spend time with friends,” he said. “They have a lot of stuff to do. I like the different shows they put on.”

Mumfest offered up an all-you-can-handle buffet of live entertainment sure to please anyone looking for a good show. From the Corvette Racing Tour to the YPG River Jam featur-ing the talents of Chairmen of the Board and Hot Buttered Grits, the only difficult decisions visitors faced was which

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. 2D OCTOBER 13, 2011

Now playing at Midway Park

“WARRIOR” (PG-13)“Warrior” is an inspi-

rational action drama about two estranged brothers facing the fight of a lifetime.

Tom Hardy (“Incep-tion,” “Black Hawk Down”) stars as Tommy Conlon, a former Marine with a tragic past.

Suffering from the war in Iraq, Tommy returns home to Pittsburgh for the first time in 14 years to enlist the help of his father and former coach to whip him into shape for the upcoming mixed martial arts tournament, the biggest winner-takes-all event in MMA history.

Tommy, a former wrestling prodigy, blazes a violent path toward the championship prize, while his brother, Bren-dan, played by Joel Edgerton (“Animal King-dom,” “Smokin’ Aces”), a former powerful MMA fighter turned teacher, struggles in providing for his family at home.

Brendan returns to the ring in a desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin.

Nick Nolte (“Tropic Thunder,” “The Thin Red Line”) co-stars as Paddy Conlon, their recovering alcoholic father, who has a complicated past with both of his sons, and who now trains Tommy for the MMA tournament.

Even though years have gone by, recrimina-tions and past betrayals keep Brendan estranged from both Tommy and

his father.But when Brendan’s

unlikely, underdog rise sets him on a collision course with the unstop-pable Tommy, the two brothers must finally con-front each other and the forces that pulled them apart.

They will face off in the most soaring, soul stirring, and unforgettable climax that must be seen to be believed.

Jennifer Morrison (“Star Trek,” TV’s “House”) plays Tess Conlon, Brendan’s level-headed wife.

Kevin Dunn (“Unstop-pable”) can be seen as Principal Zito, who has to suspend Brendan for not living up to the high standards of the school.

Gavin O’Connor (“Pride and Glory,” “Mir-acle”) directed, produced and also co-wrote the screenplay of this inspir-ing, but grim movie that proves the art of powerful story telling is still alive.

“Warrior” is a rousing ode to redemption, rec-onciliation and the power of the human spirit. It is also a moving testament to the enduring bonds of family.

“Warrior” is an emo-tional and engaging fam-ily and underdog story that could be the breakout movie for mixed martial arts, as “The Raging Bull” was for boxing and “The Wrestler” was for the sport of wrestling.

Expect sequences of intense MMA fighting.

Now playing in Jacksonville

“50/50” (R)“50/50” is a poignant

dramedy about a young man’s struggle with his cancer diagnosis and the loving support from his best buddy.

The film is an original story about friendship, love, survival and finding humor in unlikely places.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“Inception,” “500 Days of Summer”) stars as Adam Schwartz, a 27-year-old radio-segment producer in Seattle who is living the nice and simple life.

Adam works in a museum with his best and loyal friend Kyle, played by Seth Rogen (“Pineap-ple Express,” “Knocked-Up”).

He also has a beautiful artist girlfriend, named Rachael, played by Bryce Dallas Howard (“The Help,” “Hereafter”).

When Adam is told that he has cancer and only a 50 percent chance

to live, he is stunned by the news, since he doesn’t smoke or drink and is in excellent health.

Adam soon discovers that he not only has to deal with the illness but also the way it affects those around him.

When breaking the news to his family and friends that he is starting chemotherapy, they all get on board and support him.

Adam begins seeing Dr. Katherine ‘Katie’ Mc-Kay, a pretty young, but inexperienced therapist in training, played by Anna Kendrick (“Twilight Saga,” “Up in the Air”), who helps him with his rage and grief as his con-dition worsens.

Adam comes to terms with his life and illness and begins to appreciate all the little things he has taken for granted before.

Also starring is An-jelica Huston (“When in Rome”) as Adam’s anx-ious mother, who already

has her hands full caring for Adam’s father, who has Alzheimers.

Philip Baker Hall (“All Good Things”) and Matt Frewer (“Going the Dis-tance”) appear as fellow chemo patients.

Jonathan Levine (“The Wackness,” “Warm Bod-ies”) directed this sweet, feel-good movie with touching performances by Gordon-Levitt and Kendrick.

Comedy writer Will Reiser provided the script, a razor-sharp written story that is based on his own experiences. (Reiser battled the cancer while in his 20s in 2005).

Reiser’s close friend,

Rogen, then persuaded him to write a personal and intimate account of his bout with cancer; the two also produced this film.

“50/50” is a uniquely funny film about a very serious subject that celebrates true friendship and shows that laughter is still the best medicine.

The heartfelt comedy and bittersweet drama delivers some comic relief and takes a fresh and af-fecting take on the cancer from the male perspective.

Ms. Huneycutt is the public affairs assistant at the base Public Affairs Office.

The posting of the na-tions’ flag by the Leje-une High School Junior Recruit Officer Training Corps Color Guard and the National Anthem sung by 4th-grade students with Heroes Elementary School kicked off the Heroes Elementary School’s dedi-cation ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 7.

Dewanda Sholar, principal of HES, Col. Daniel J. Lecce, com-manding officer of MCB Camp Lejeune and Dr. Jo Ann Rooney, the Office of the Secretary of Defense principal deputy under secretary for personnel and readiness were on hand to speak about the impor-tance of providing educa-tion for the community’s youth.

The ceremony also marked the transferring of Heroes Elementary School to Department of De-fense Education Activity, Domestic Dependent El-ementary and Secondary Schools, North Carolina Domestic Dependent El-ementary and Secondary Schools and Camp Leje-une Dependent Schools.

The school’s student population currently sits at 398, but will accommo-date up to 768 once more families move onto base in

the future.The opening of the new

school affords children who were affected by Hur-ricane Irene the opportu-nity to build an education at Heroes Elementary.

“Students displaced from the hurricane at (Tarawa Terrace), in grades three to five, are bused to this school,” said Dr. Emily Marsh, superin-tendent with NCDDESS. “It’s a wonderful school that serves many different children from across the installation.”

The $20-million build-ing itself is constructed to maximize natural light and the environment, which also helps to be energy efficient.

The school also has things such as an occu-pational therapy room equipped with state-of-the-art technology, from classroom computers and an information system center to smart boards and handheld devices used to help teach children.

“All those things sum up a 21st century educa-tion,” said Ms. Marilee Fitzgerald, acting director of DODEA. “So when these doors open up, they open up to a beautiful fa-cility, but it’s what happens in these classrooms that’s something different.”

If someone stepped inside for a glimpse of the school they would see mul-tiple classrooms and age groups, and children who

learn at their own pace.“In the adult world,

we’re about competency, so when you have that competency you move to the next thing,” said Fitzgerald. “This idea is translating into the educa-tional arena, so if (a child) masters it, (he) moves on. If (he is) a little stuck, we accommodate with the ad-ditional learning strategies.”

Fitzgerald said schools teach science and math, but it is importance to weave everything into what the children are do-ing. It’s integration into the whole curriculum, not just an individual course.

One example is how geometry can be taught while constructing a house for an art project. Teach-ing methods such as this are innovative and new to the majority of traditional schools.

“When I look at this building, I only see the possibilities for our chil-dren in a very different

way from when I went to school,” said Fitzgerald.

Famous physicist Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

Heroes Elementary School may sprout the Einsteins of today by offering a student-centric education that supports and promotes creative thinking, which is parallel to imaginative thinking.

“They are really choos-ing their own destiny. There are very many op-portunities because they are preparing for the 21st century,” said Marsh. “We need to have new and in-novative ways of looking at things, so this environ-ment will support that creativity for engineering, mathematics, science and technology. I heard some-one say ‘this is a place where our future leaders are under construction,’ and indeed they are.”

Swansboro celebrates 57th annual Mullet FestivalPFC. JACKELINE PEREZ RIVERAMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Flocks of families strolled down the sidewalks of Swansboro Saturday and Sunday making their way to an event that has been a part of the town’s tradition for more than half a century.

The Mullet Festival, in its 57th year, began as a fish fry celebrating the comple-tion of the White Oak River Bridge and has since evolved into an annual festival that celebrates the sense of community within the town.

It is one of four events held through-out the year by the Swansboro Festival Committee. Other events include Arts by the Sea, the Fourth of July celebration and a flotilla Christmas parade on the water.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Lt. Col. Cliff Carpenter, the commanding officer of the Logistics Operations School on Camp Johnson, who attended the event with his children. “One of the nice things about being out in Swansboro is that it’s a great mix. Swansboro has a really warm local population. The people who set up stands and do the music are the same people you see in Swansboro.”

The atmosphere was full of cheer. Friends gathered and children danced as the Terry Batson Band performed, croon-ing oldies in keeping with the festival’s theme of ‘Cruising a Classic.’

Other performances included several acts, a parade on Saturday morning with more than 50 participants and demonstra-tions from local karate and dance schools.

The fish that lends its name to the

event, the mullet, was provided by the rotary club, and cooked by Marine volun-teers. For $8 attendants received mullet or whiting with coleslaw, baked beans and hush puppies.

“It brings the military closer to the community,” said Lance Cpl. Will Var-gas, a heavy equipment mechanic with 8th Communication Battalion, II Marine Expeditionary Force, who volunteered to assist at the event. “It’s fun. I’ve met a lot of people.”

Vendor space sold out a week earlier than normal.

The streets were lined with vendors providing everything from books and birdhouses to face painting and food.

“It’s a good event, a lot of military families don’t feel like they can get in with the community because they’re always moving and it’s good to have something like this where they can come and relax and get away for a bit,” said Ron Dodge, a military police officer on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

The two-day event was funded through renting space to vendors and donations. It was not for profit and all proceeds go toward future events.

Linwood Hood, the president of the Swansboro Festival Committee, said they had a lot of support from the military, and that they were happy to have the volunteers.

“We do this because we love the town,” said Hood. “This is the greatest town to live in. It’s a big, fun party all year round. We just get to celebrate it (in events such as this) a couple of times a year.”Photos by Pfc. Jackeline M. Perez Rivera

direction to turn.The Purina Incredible Dog Team,

comprised of more than eight trainers and 30 canines, wowed a packed audience at Union Point Park with their back catches, balancing tricks and amazing athletics.

The King’s BMX Stunt Show had bleachers full of people gasping at the aerial aerobics and terrifying tricks.

Capt. Micah Akin, Communications Squadron, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, had been preparing for the fun weekend for a long time and packed up his family in anticipation.

“We missed it last year and wanted to come see everything,” he said. “We’d heard a lot about all the vendors from people who came last year.”

His wife agreed and said, “It’s just good family-fun.”

History buffs got a sneak peak back in time at the encampment of the 7th N.C. State Troops, Company F, Civil War reenactment site. Recruiters provided information to interested parties and en-joyed answering questions about Reilly’s Battery.

“It’s history,” said Susan Trail, a reenactor dressed in appropriate Civil War apparel, including a hoop skirt and bonnet. “It’s an event the whole family can enjoy. (A lot of the service members) like the history of how the military came about and learning because books leave a lot out.”

Mark Trail, a retired Marine and secretary for the group, takes honor as a reenactor.

“It really brings history back and alive when you walk the same fields your grandfather fought on,” he said. “We fig-ured it’s a great time of year to get some new recruits.”

Along with the vendors who were selling everything from jewelry to new hairstyles, the you-should-only-eat-it-once-a-year food delicacies were a high priority for many people.

Sandy Thomas, a local resident who has been coming to Mumfest for a long time, was surprised by the variety of tasty treats.

“There’s a lot more food this year,” she stated.

Fried pickles, gyros and ribbon fries were just a few of the delectable dishes from which to choose.

“We’ve come the last three years,” said Cpl. Albert Petschel, Marine Transport Squadron One, MCAS Cherry Point. “It’s fun just walking down the streets and see-ing what vendors have to offer. You can get some great stuff, like fried Oreos.”

It wasn’t just festival veterans who pounded the pavement of the birthplace of Pepsi-Cola. Many out-of-towners drove in to see what the buzz was about.

Michelle White took advantage of the festival’s free shuttle service along with her daughter and her parents.

“I’ve never been (to Mumfest),” she admitted.

While they found the vendors and amusement rides entertaining, they took advantage of the free garden admission at Tryon Palace. Thousands of mums, the festival’s inspiration, were in full bloom and showing off their magnificent colors for all to see.

White’s mother, Brenda Saulnier, was happy to share the experience with her granddaughter.

“It’s a good, family time watching her discovering things,” she noted. “We take certain things for granted, but kids see it all brand new.”

Children of all ages had exciting activi-ties waiting for them at every turn. Magi-cians, musicians and even Rick Hubbard’s Kazooble Kazoo Show set up in the streets to perform for any passersby.

The Farmers’ Market also provided its own unique taste to Mumfest, not only of-fering fresh produce and baked goods but also a llama and two alpacas, including special guest Buddy, the 6-year-old alpaca.

Two days may not seem like enough time to fit in all that Mumfest has to offer, but perhaps that’s the secret to its success and what brings people back year after year.

NAVY LT. CHRISTOPHER ADAMSMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

My favorite movie scene is from “Forrest Gump.” Jenny, the love of Forrest’s life, is lying on a bed exhausted from the fight waged against an unknown illness. He enters the room carrying a breakfast tray. As he sits on the bed beside her, they begin to talk.

She asks, “Forrest, were you scared in Viet-nam?” Forrest answers, “Yes- well, I don’t know.” Then he begins to share with her that during the most solitary times in his life he witnessed some of the greatest sights, the stars appearing after a rain, a sunset on the bayou, the scene of a mountain lake and the majesty of a desert sunrise.

Jenny responds, “I wish I could have been there with you.” Forrest replied, “You were.”

And there it is, one of the greatest truths in life – you are never really alone.

There may be times when we find ourselves physically separated from our loved ones, but they are never further away than our hearts and minds. That’s the reason it is so important to invest regularly in your “memory bank.”

Take the walks. Spend the time. Make the call. Go to the games. Celebrate the opportuni-ties you have time to spend with the people who care for you most.You will need to draw from that reserve at some point along the way.

I’m reminded of that fact by a hero from my faith, the Apostle Paul. During a hard stretch in his life, when beaten, mistreated and imprisoned for his faith, he reveals what sustained him.

He writes in Philippians 1:3-5,“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always of-fering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.”

When times were bad, Paul did three things. First, he expressed thanks to God. Second, he took his eyes off of himself and prayed for oth-ers. Third, he remembered those important to him. Through these three things, he recalled the greater purpose he had committed himself to fulfilling.

I’m challenged by Paul’s example. How about you?

The next time you find yourself feeling alone remember these truths. Memories can serve as a source of strength and encouragement. When you are tempted to focus on the issues around you, don’t forget to look up.

God is always there.

Remember, you are never alone

Take responsibility seriously

I am not a morn-ing person.

Trying to be productive before the sun

comes up has never been my strong suit.

I applaud those of you who see hours on the clock in the morning that I only associate with afternoon. I don’t know how you do it.

Nonetheless, since graduating from college and involuntarily becom-ing a member of the real world six years ago, my daily alarm has been set, along with the three other back-ups just in case my brain chooses to ignore the first one, to get up, get ready and head to work.

I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least a little tired, and I’ve seri-ously considered hooking myself up to an IV of coffee.

It’s not that I’m mas-ochistic. I genuinely enjoy sleeping in, but I’m an adult.

I have responsibilities.The word in and of it-

self can be cringe-worthy. Responsibility. It doesn’t exactly conjure up fun im-ages, does it?

A extreme commut-ing friend of mine works three hours away from home and only sees her husband on the weekends because the responsibility of adulthood demands bills be paid. That’s not fun.

Depending on what part of life you are in, it reeks of homework, dead-

lines, diapers or social security woes.

I’ve heard responsibil-ity defined as the ability to choose your response.

That’s all well and good, except for the fact that as humans, our natu-ral inclination is to evade responsibility.

It’s rooted in us from childhood to duck out or hold loosely to something so we can let go when things get tough.

Obviously, this presents a problem.

The current young adult population in America is facing an unprecedented situation brought on by economic hardships, uncertain fu-tures and an epidemic of laziness.

Experts call it adult adolescence. I call it a failure to grow up.

Several articles and studies have come out recently describing this phenomena and particu-larly focusing on men be-tween the ages of 18 and 25. They call it everything from delayed adolescence to emerging adulthood.

Considering the vast majority of the popula-tion of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune falls into this category, I felt it was something I should look into.

Kay Hymowitz, a columnist for the Dallas Morning News, wrote that today’s twentysome-thing male “lingers hap-pily in a new hybrid state of semi-hormonal ado-lescence and responsible self-reliance.”

The article went on to note that it appears ado-lescence is a man’s default state, where he goes when he doesn’t know where he’s going.

After sifting through all the statistics, quotes and opinions of what people think is wrong with Gen-eration Next, I figured out the source of the problem.

Everyone is pointing fingers and no one is tak-ing responsibility.

Years ago, men and women in their early twenties were finished with school, married and well on their way to hav-ing a family. They were self-sufficient, indepen-dent and, dare I say, responsible.

Today, people are prolonging the growing up process. They’re going to school longer, digging themselves more in debt, moving home with mom instead of getting their own place, “finding them-selves” through hours of Call of Duty games and ultimately delaying the inevitable.

I can see reflections of the negative behaviors the statistics speak of in some service members, and I acknowledge the fact that several of them should turn off the video games and have actual conversa-tions more often.

However, they’re at least a step ahead in more ways than one.

A better definition of responsibility is an accountability for the stewardship of what has been entrusted to us.

As Marines, when you sign your name on the dotted line, you instantly become responsible for the protection of the country. That is a serious load, my friends.

It’s hard for me to explain to friends and family back home that a 20-year-old Marine is different, probably more mature in most cases, than a 20-year-old college student who comes home for the summer.

Maturity is not a func-tion of time passing but of taking responsibility for things.

Marines are respon-sible for not only them-selves, but their families, their fellow comrades-in-

arms, their equipment, their safety and a host of other things.

Irresponsibility is natu-ral to everyone. It comes easily.

Responsibility will make you odd.

It’s not natural to rush into a burning building to save people you don’t know, but firefighters do it every day.

It’s not natural to be debt-free when the nation is so far in the red it’s unimaginable, yet there’s a growing number of peo-ple cutting up credit cards and paying off loans.

It’s not natural to im-merse yourself in a war zone at the risk of your life to fight for a cause that started long before you were born, but ser-vice members are being scattered across the world even now.

Marines don’t do what’s natural or easy. They do the complete opposite. They are broken down to be built up as dif-ferent people with differ-ent mindsets.

In every area of life, if you ask and are told, you immediately become responsible for that.

Marines are given or-ders which they follow or face the consequences.

Wouldn’t it be odd to see a Marine run from the plane being boarded for Afghanistan or from a battle with the enemy on foreign soil?

They don’t even real-ize how strange they’ve become.

They may not have ev-erything right, and there is still plenty of room for growth.

However, the new gen-eration of Marines is far from normal.

They are well on their way to being responsible members of society.
