A carnival-style, light-heart-ed Be Aware Fair brought the community together while teaching families

about a much heavier topic aboard Laurel Bay, Sept. 28.

“We’re out here to raise awareness for drug demand reduction and do-mestic violence,” said Ginny Wescott, Family Advocacy Program prevention and training.

The event kicked off a month of na-tional awareness promoting a reduc-tion in drug demand and awareness of domestic violence.

“We’re giving families and the com-munity our support and showing them the resources that are there if they’re in one of those situations,” said Wescott.

Some of those resources include military family life consultants, drug demand reduction, family counsel-ing, prevention and education, clini-cal counseling and victim advocacy program.

“The purpose of the event is to make people aware of all the opportunities that MCCS provides for drug demand reduction, and for families to get to-gether and use the resources we have on the facility,” said Col. Brian Murtha, commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

Despite the gravity drug abuse and do-mestic violence bring, families were able to enjoy themselves.

For I know the plans I have for youCmdr. Dean L. HoelzMCAS Beaufort Command Chaplain

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

A young sailor from my old command sent me a message on Facebook last week. She was worried because she received the bad news that due to the Navy’s Perform to Serve Program, she could not stay in the Navy. This young sailor, who is also a mother of a two year old, had her worry compounded by the fact that she was recently diag-nosed with a serious medical condi-tion. She told me, “Chaps, I don’t know what I’m going to do?” The news she received wasn’t in her plans. The future she had been planning, the hopes she had, now seems to have vanished and been replaced with disappointed, an-

ger and fear. I had no words of my own that might

help her, but I did share with her the words that I look at every morning. They are written on a 3x5 index card and taped to my bathroom mirror. When I brush my teeth and shave, I see God’s word, speaking through the prophet Jeremiah staring me in the face each new morning. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a fu-ture.”

Each morning, I need to see these words and silently speak God’s prom-ise to myself. Although I have my own plans, hopes and ideas where I want my life to go, my plans do not always work out, my goals more times than not fail to materialize. That little 3x5 card reminds me each day, that although I make plans to the best of my ability, I

cannot plan the results; they are left to the Creator, the great planner of the Cosmos. When life isn’t working out the way I think it ought to; when my plans and goals are shattered; when my hopes and dreams fall apart, that small 3x5 index card gives me hope. It reminds me daily that God has a plan for me and for each of us. His will is to give us hope and a future and his plans for us are perfect.

I haven’t heard back from the young sailor who emailed me, but I hope the promise of God gives her hope of a new future and the promise of dreams yet to be realized for her and her child. It is my prayer that each of you be as-sured of God’s perfect plan for you. His plan is to prosper you and not to harm you; his plan is to give you hope and a future. May he continue to richly bless you and those you love each and every day!

“His plan is to prosper you and not to harm you; his plan is to give you hope and a future. May he continue to richly bless you and those you love each and every day!”

Marines gathered with their families for food, fun and games at the Air Station family day at Afterburners aboard Marine Corps Air Sta-tion Beaufort, Sept 27. Some Marines got competitive with tabletop games, while others talked with their fam-ilies or ate.

Through events like this, Marines improve unit cohe-sion and morale. The simple camaraderie of a meal and talking with fellow Ma-rines strengthens the bond Marines share, reinforcing commitment to the Marine Corps on and off duty.

service members the chance to pick out a formal ball gown for free. “Sometimes people don’t know all the expenses that go along with the ball,” said

McCartney. “Getting dress blues ready, the hair and the makeup and all of that gets really expensive. Unfortunately, some of our families just can’t afford that expense. Having a free ball gown helps a lot.”

“It’s fun,” said Stephanie Hanks, who attended the event. “You can mingle and meet other people, and try on dresses. It’s a good idea because you can network with other people, and you also get the opportunity to find a free dress to wear to the ball.”

The event is also a chance to introduce new family members to other families and some of the support services available for them.

“We have service providers who come [to Operation Ball Gown], and that really gets families in the door with those services and with Marine Corps Family Team Building and the classes that we offer,” said McCartney. “That way they can learn about their chain of command, or what a Family Readiness Officer is, or how to get through a deployment.”

While double-knotting my run-ning shoes at 5:45 a.m., I plan out my running strategy; five mph pace for five minutes then increase to 8.5 mph for three miles. It’s easy as I stare at the beaming red dis-play of numerals to tell how fast to go, how far I’ve gone and how much time has passed. As I stare at images of violence and politics on the multiple monitors featuring 24-hour news broadcast, I catch dark skies behind massive win-dows lightening by a waking sun.

Why am I inside on a treadmill when I could be outside on trails?

To some it’s a decision of wheth-er to battle the elements of nature while dodging oblivious drivers and sometimes even outrunning off-leash dogs, or staring at mul-tiple televisions while the guy next to you walks and reads.

But there is something more than fresh air that comes from training outside.

A study by the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry found that most adults showed an im-provement in mental well-being: compared with exercising indoors, exercising in natural environments was associated with greater feel-ings of revitalization, increased en-ergy and positive engagement to-gether with decreases in tension, confusion, anger and depression. Participants also reported greater enjoyment and satisfaction with outdoor activity and stated they were more likely to repeat the ac-tivity at a later date.

To back the results of the study, research at West Virginia Univer-sity found that taking your cardio training outdoors makes you 52 percent more likely to exercise fre-quently.

"The message is clear," said Paul Gordon, Ph.D., the study's lead au-thor. "Don't force yourself to work out in a gym when you can better tolerate running outside."

Aside from feeling better mental-ly, the variable landscape that na-ture provides affects the muscles that are exercised vice a flat cush-ioned platform on a treadmill. A 2008 study, published in the jour-nal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, determined that runners adopt different running patterns when they're on treadmills, such as landing a little more flat-footed. Grass, dirt and sand provide un-even surfaces for runners, which allows the body to work the full range of muscles, joints and ten-dons for a more challenging and comprehensive workout.

“I rarely ever run on a treadmill, [I run] either on the road or on the track,” said 1st Lt. Nicholas Rem-shak, executive officer of Combat Logistics Company 23. “To me, personally, it has to do with pacing and running form. When you’re on a treadmill you really don’t get a chance to react to how you’re pac-ing when you’re going up a hill or down a hill.”

Another shortcoming of the treadmill is the ability to stimulate muscles the way nature does. The fitness website, Active.com, gives

an example of this shortcoming with speed. According the web-site, the common treadmill’s max speed of 12 mph is slower than most runners’ sprinting speed, making it difficult to simulate sprints of short and fast intervals. If you have ever sprinted on a track you can imagine trying to simulate going from 50 percent effort to 100 percent on a treadmill.

“Running over grass can be very helpful for anybody who is train-ing,” said Remshak, a native of Franklin, Wis. “I think you have to start building up slowly. Running out on the road is more of a mental than a physical challenge.”

Remshak, an avid runner, runs about 15 miles per week and says some of the challenges that come with training outside involve the elements.

“When you’re outside you have to deal with wind, humidity, heat and the elements out there, I think those are all challenges that can benefit somebody in the long run,” said Remshak.

To combat the forces of nature, Remshak suggests dressing ap-propriately with breathable layers and building your tolerance to nature’s elements by starting at a shorter distance than you would normally run.

Although lacking some elements of outdoor training, running on treadmills is more beneficial than other activities and to some it’s the only option.

“I think living here in Beaufort, the humidity makes it harder to run outdoors for some people,” said Kelly Colon, a Semper Fit per-sonal trainer at MCAS Beaufort.

Colon says some benefits of treadmills include a safe environ-ment for clients with asthma to train. Other benefits include hard goals that clients can set including speed and distance, which can be adjusted on treadmills allowing the treadmill to do the thinking.

Adjustments to the treadmill, to give them a near-natural run, should also be considered if run-ning inside.

“A lot of novice runners don’t get on treadmills, they can’t find their equilibrium,” said Quincy Terry, a Semper Fit personal trainer and group fitness instructor. “You have to break them in.”

Terry suggests runners who are new to the treadmill should start with at least a three percent incline to simulate flat ground outdoors.

“If you’re goal is to run three miles in 25 minutes, outdoors your mind might wander and you might not get to your goal, but if you set the treadmill to run three miles in 25 minutes, you’re going to keep that pace,” said Terry. “There is no slowing down because if you slow down you might find yourself on the bike behind you all of a sud-den.”

The Marine Corps’ Fitness Readi-ness Guide website offers a pleth-ora of exercises to be executed outside or inside a controlled en-vironment. For more information on training outdoors or indoors, visit fitness.usmc.mil, or contact the MCAS Beaufort Fitness Center at 228-7192.

Cub Scouts lined up along a rain gutter waterway as they watched and prepared themselves to race their boats against one another.

The Tri-Command’s Cub Scout Pack 283 celebrated their Rain Gutter Regatta at the Laurel Bay Cub Hut, Sept. 28.

The Rain Gutter Regatta is a race Cub Scouts participate in after building their own sailboat with their unique style. Each scout was given a block of wood and materials to build their boat. Using a straw, the scouts blow into the boat’s sails, pushing them through rain gutters to the finish line.

"This is a great opportunity for the children to build some-

thing with their hands and get them involved in a little friendly competition," said Gunnery Sgt. Israel Gonzales, a den leader for pack 283. "The main focus of these activities is to get families involved in their child's life and to teach the children different skills."

A wide variety of boats were raced showing each child's uniqueness. Some children had military-style boats, a plain favorite color, or a character such as Cubby, the Cub Scout mascot.

The Cub Scouts, who ranged from first through fourth grade, were given a month to complete their boat during Cub Scout meetings and at home with the assistance of family members.

"Cub scouting is a great way to get children away from

videogames and get them involved in productive activities with other children," said Staff Sgt. Efrain Sotelo III, an assis-tant scout leader. “Cub Scouts offers a chance for children to learn a wide variety of skills while allowing them to hang out with their friends. Being in a military community also allows them to cope with their struggles with others that understand the challenges that come with being a military child.”

The children competed for first, second and third place; however, all Cub Scouts received a patch for participating.

"Once the children have participated in an event like this, they become more and more excited about the next one," Gonzales said. "The children always improve over time, and the changes are visible as they grow in scouting."

Children barely older than toddlers walk down a balance beam, hula hoop and crawl through a tun-nel with some help from their gymnastics instructor, Alexandria Gustin, who also teaches dance, cheer and sports aboard the Tri-Command bases.

“I love that [gymnastics] teaches them their gross motor skills,” said Gustin. “It teaches them better bal-ance. They’re learning how to stand on their tippy-toes and how to move themselves. They’re learning about their own bodies.”

While the exercise helps these children grow physi-

cally, they also grow socially as they learn how to inter-act with their peers.

“They all make great friends. They have a good time,” said Gustin. “For a lot of them, it’s their first social inter-action if they haven’t been to the Child Development Center yet. It’s a different adjustment, but as soon as they get used to it they really love it.

“With some of these kids, I’m teaching them things they’ll remember for the rest of their lives, and I love meeting all these kids and watching them grow up. They’re all so funny and lively, I love it.”

Space is still available in the Dance II class for seven to 11 year olds. To register, visit the human resources office in the Marine Corps Exchange aboard Laurel Bay.

Thies, Senegal - A Senegalese Companie de Fusilier Marine Commando fires his weapon during a live fire exercise September 17. The exercise was part of a week-long engagement in which U.S. Marines and sailors with APS 13 trained with Senegalese forces to further promote maritime security and part-nership in the area. The Sen-egalese Companie de Fusilier Marine Commandos grew even more familiar with their M16A2 assault rifles, and took turns firing the squad automatic weapons and the M240B automatic firearm.

CAMP SCHWAB, OKINAWA, Japan -- The Battle of Inchon, during the Korean War, silenced critics of amphibious assault as the grueling combat which followed the landing resulted in a crucial victory and turned the tide of the war in favor of the U.S. The amphibious capabilities the Ma-rines employed led to the recapture of the Republic of Korea’s capitol, Seoul, and sev-ered crucial supply lines reinforcing most enemy forces south of the 38th parallel latitudinal line.

Approximately 150 Marines and sailors with Weapons Company disembarked the USS Ashland aboard assault amphibious vehicles to execute an amphibious assault landing off the coast of Camp Schwab Sept. 18 upon their return to Okinawa from the Republic of Korea.

The Marines and sailors of Weapons Co. are with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regi-ment, currently assigned to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, under the unit de-ployment program. The AAVs are with As-sault Amphibious Vehicle Company, Com-bat Assault Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, III MEF.

During their training in the Republic of Korea, the Marines and sailors partici-pated in a re-enactment of the landing at Inchon with their ROK counterparts to not only train for amphibious operations but also as part of a commemoration cer-emony for the historical event, according to 1st Lt. Jonathan M. Brown, a platoon commander with AAV Co.

In keeping with the Corps’ amphibious roots, the AAV community has swam back into the spotlight, as it provides amphibi-ous transportation for infantry units.

Therefore, training with the AAV and be-coming familiar with it is key to an infantry unit’s overall competency in the Asia-Pa-cific region, according to Lowman.

For some of the Marines, it was the first time experiencing not only life aboard a U.S. Navy ship but also an AAV executing its amphibious capability.

MIHAIL KOGALNICEANU, Romania -- Ma-rines with Black Sea Rotational Force 14 participated in platoon live-fire training at a range near Mihail Kogalniceanu, Romania, Sept. 26. The engagement included fire-and-maneuver and buddy-rushing.

Although similar, fire-and-maneuver and buddy-rushing have differences. Buddy-rush-ing consists of squads using their designated marksmen to take out specific targets and, after those targets are taken out, the squad begins assaulting through the enemy posi-tion in buddy pairs. Fire-and-maneuver con-sists of suppressing an enemy and keeping the enemy’s head down while another squad moves around to eliminate the enemy as a whole squad, instead of buddy pairs.

First Lieutenant Jared Picard, 2nd platoon commander with BSRF-14, and Philadelphia native, said that this exercise will help Marines to be more effective for military-to-military engagements with partner nations.

“It’s important that when we do have the rounds we utilize them,” said Picard. [The exercise] also [keeps] us fresh for when we [advise] other [militaries] on how to do this [specific training].”

Lance Cpl. Taran Trussell, a rifleman with BSRF-14, and Murrieta, Calif., native said that he believes the training is important in case of contact with the enemy and it also makes the team stronger.

Picard said that the training went very well and the Marines performed at a higher level than he expected, but that there’s always room for improvement in everything that the Marines do. Marines with BSRF-14 will have more opportunities to improve their abilities as the Ground Combat Element in future live-fire exercises.

Conducting effective training as a platoon prepares Marines with BSRF for military-to-military engagements with the Romanian Army and will directly tie-in with BSRF 14’s mission of promoting regional stability and security, increasing military capacity and in-teroperability, and maintaining partnerships with their counterparts in Eastern Europe.

Marine Corps Warfighting Lab experiment may lead to change in target engagement

Pfc. Eric T. KeenanHeadquarters Marine Corps

MARINE CORPS BASE QUAN-TICO, Va. -- The Field Testing Branch from the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory’s Ex-periment Division began testing techniques for engaging moving targets during the Moving Target Technique Limited Objective Ex-periment 2 at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., Sept. 16.

The experiment, which ends Sept. 27, tests the most effec-tive technique and method to engage moving targets with the M-4 carbine and M-27 infantry automatic rifle.

“This experiment is fundamen-tally about — how do I make an individual Marine more lethal,” Capt. Benjamin Brewster, proj-ect officer with the field testing branch at the Warfighting Lab, said.

The experiment is also using and evaluating Robotic Moving Targets. The robots are treaded moving targets developed by an Australian company named Marathon to help train service members in marksmanship.

Marines from The Basic School and Weapons Training Battalion, Quantico, Va., fired the M-4 and M-27 at the robots using three

techniques: tracking, ambush and swing through. The Marines tested each technique using semi-automatic, burst and auto-matic fire in the standing, kneel-ing and prone positions.

The shooters engaged targets moving perpendicular to them, at both a 75-meter and 150-me-ter distance, firing thousands of rounds throughout the experi-ment. The robots simulate an en-emy crossing a road.

“Much like hitting a baseball, moving target engagement is a skill that has to be trained, honed and maintained in order for someone to be proficient with it,” Brewster said.

For the ambush technique, the shooter picks a pre-designated point and fires when the target comes into their sight. For track-ing, the shooter follows the tar-get in their sight and takes the shot when they feel ready. For the swing through, originally a skeet shoot method, the shooter sights in behind the target, fol-lows its direction of travel, and fires through it.

“We are trying to validate if one of those techniques is more ef-fective than the others,” Brewster said.

The data collectors measured

hit ratio by technique, method, shooting position, distance, and by the equipment of each shoot-er, either wearing full combat gear, or not wearing gear.

In nine years of being an infan-try Marine and after five combat deployments, Sgt. Phillipi Sanz, a combat marksmanship trainer with Weapons Training Battal-ion, said he has only trained on one range that focused on mov-ing targets. If the results of this experiment help to change how Marines train, “There is no where we can go but up.”

Out of 110 rounds fired dur-ing the annual rifle qualification, only eight are fired on moving targets. The moving targets cur-rently used are frontal silhou-ettes about 19 inches wide by 40 inches tall. They are exposed for 10 seconds, and move at a pace of one to two miles an hour.

“The current marksmanship tables in the annual rifle qualifi-cation are completely unrealistic to train a Marine to shoot a mov-ing target,” Brewster, an infantry officer with two Afghanistan de-ployments, said.

The robots present a target the size of an average person. They fall over when shot and can simulate average walking and

running paces from four to eight miles an hour.

With the more realistic features of the robots, training on them provides a more difficult but ac-curate portrayal of a combat sce-nario, the makers of the robots said.

“You throw in something un-predictable and it totally chang-es the dynamic,” Alex Brooks, CEO of Marathon, the company responsible for developing the robots, said “Rather than just training moving marksmanship, you’re training judgment, rules of engagement and situational awareness.”

Soldiers from the Asymmetric Warfare Group supported the experiment by helping with data collection and operation of the robots.

Brewster hopes the experi-ment will lead to alternative training for moving target marks-manship, ultimately making Ma-rines more efficient in combat, leading to lives saved and mis-sion accomplishment.

“As it stands right now, there is no training for a Marine to shoot moving targets that he is realisti-cally going to encounter in com-bat before he deploys,” Brewster said.

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif., - Pistachio-crust-ed pork chops, pan-seared lamb chops and plates of roasted spaghetti were just a few of the culinary treats served by Rahm Fama, guest chef and host of the Food Network show, “Meat and Potatoes,” and the food service specialists of Food Service Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 17, 1st Marine Logistics Group, aboard Camp Pendleton, Ca-lif., Sept. 25.

Fama is a meat enthusiast who spent his childhood at a ranch and worked his way up the restaurant ladder, cooking for several kitchens all over America before landing a job as corporate chef for U.S. Foods in Los Ange-les.

A smorgasbord of meat and starch dishes broke the routine menu of the 14 Area mess hall, as Chef Fama provided new choices to challenge the culinary skills of the food ser-vice specialists and stimulate the palate.

“He showed us some techniques, we did some preparation work and punched out this pretty fancy meal,” said Sgt. Samuel Hodge-man, assistant chief cook with CLR-17, 1st MLG. “He gave the Marines different tips on techniques such as layering and searing.”

In addition to enhancing the Marines’ culi-nary skills, the experience also provided the Marines with a view on the food industry from a civilian perspective, said Hodgeman, a native of Derry, N.H.

“It opens the Marines’ eyes to what the cu-linary community can be outside of the mess hall,” said Hodgeman. “It really expands their horizons and opens them up to more creativ-ity.”

The event was conducted in partnership between Sodexo food services and the Ma-rine Corps to provide the food service spe-cialists with a different outlook on their day-to-day routine.

“The event builds our partnership and gives the Marines a chance to try something a little different and outside the box,” said Ronald Lazurek, project manager for Sodexo. “It gives them a taste of what happens in the private sector. It also helps us to motivate them.”

At the end of the day, the junior enlisted Marines reaped the biggest benefits from the experience and gained new insights to their job.

“The thing I liked about it the most was being able to interact with Chef Rama,” said Lance Cpl. Daniel D. Jackson, a food service specialist with CLR-17, 1st MLG. “The way he prepares and cooks some of the food is new and creative. It was an eye-opening experi-ence for me.”

The food service industry is a sector built upon its customers, and food service in the military is no different. The food service spe-cialists with Combat Logistic Regiment 17 strive to provide Marines food with the best nutrition and taste.

Cpl. Codey Underwood31st Marine Expeditionary Unit

WHITE BEACH NAVAL FA-CILITY, Okinawa, Japan -- With the return of the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) and the offload of more than 1,000 Marines and Sailors of the 31st Marine Expedition-ary Unit, the MEU’s regularly scheduled Fall Patrol ended here, Sept. 25.

The unit returned af-ter spending nearly three months patrolling the Asia-Pacific region and conduct-ing bilateral training exer-cises with the Australian Defense Forces.

Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines; Combat Logistics Battalion 31 and Marine Medium Til-trotor Squadron 265 (Re-inforced), all with the 31st MEU, left Okinawa in late June. The service members were divided among the three ships of Amphibious Squadron 11; the USS BHR (LHD 6), the USS Denver (LPD 9) and the USS Germantown (LSD 42).

The “Blue/Green” team headed for Australia after embarking to participate in Talisman Saber 13 and Ex-ercise Koolendong 13. Each element of the MEU spent weeks training alongside their Australian counter-parts in realistic combat scenarios to improve their interoperability.

“This was the first time I have had the opportunity to train with a structured army from another nation, so I gained experience that will benefit me in the fu-ture,” said Cpl. William S. Parker, the 21-year-old train-ing non-commissioned of-ficer with Company E., BLT 2/4, 31st MEU and a native of Melbourne, Fla. “We were able to see a different en-vironment and experience being a part of the (Marine Corps’ Marine Air Ground Task Force).”

During Talisman Saber 13, the Marines and Sailors of the 31st MEU were pitted

against elements of the 7th Brigade, Royal Australian Army, in a realistic combat training scenario. The mis-sion of the 31st MEU was to conduct an amphibious as-sault using ground forces, eliminate the “enemy” and then provide security for the civilian populace role-played by Australian sol-diers.

“With a full blown sce-nario in place and having a detailed understanding of what we were against, we honed our skills in go-ing from a combat environ-ment to posting a local force in control,” said Capt. Kyle Wolfe, the 30-year-old com-manding officer of Co E., BLT 2/4, 31st MEU, and a native of St. Joseph, Ill. “We were able to do all the things that an infantry company would have to do in a situ-ation like that. We patrolled, ambushed and fought the enemy, but at the same time

we interacted with the local civilians and helped them out.”

Once Talisman Saber 13 was complete, the unit im-mediately began their certi-fication exercise. CERTEX is a two-week event, evaluated by Special Operations Train-ing Group, III Marine Expe-ditionary Force, to test the 31st MEU’s proficiency in its full spectrum of capabilities for real-world operations. CERTEX was conducted at the Shoalwater Bay Training Area in Queensland, Austra-lia.

After a successful CERTEX, the ships sailed around the coast of Australia for the next training event. To begin Exercise Koolendong 13, the 31st MEU moved a battalion-sized force more than 300 miles inland from the Port of Darwin using a 57-vehicle convoy and aircraft from VMM-265 (REIN). The week-long exercise featured com-

bined-arms, live-fire training with the Marine Rotational Force-Darwin and a com-pany of soldiers from the 5th Royal Australian Army. The exercise also demonstrated the operational reach of the 31st MEU and its ability to be self-sustained and ready for any mission.

“(Exercise Koolendong) truly demonstrated what amphibious forces can bring to the table, something not all joint forces could do,” said Col. John E. Merna, Com-manding Officer of the 31st MEU, and native of Prince George County, Md.

Now back to their home-port on Okinawa, Japan, the 31st MEU will receive a new ground combat element and begin training for their next patrol.

The 31st MEU is the only continuously forward-de-ployed MEU and is the Ma-rine Corps’ force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region.

CAMP HANSEN, OKINAWA, Japan -- In recent years, there have been sweeping changes to combat technology designed to preserve the life of warfighters and provide a tactical edge. Recently those leaps and bounds have been in the field of advanced robotics.

Marines with the Special Operations Training Group tested a prototype ad-vanced robotics system known as the Stingray Micro Unmanned Ground Vehi-cle Sept. 18-19 at Camp Hansen and the Central Training Area.

The prototype is intended to assist teams during visit, board, search and sei-zure operations.

This prototype can aid in missions which require ground forces to search an enemy vessel for armament or possible combatants.

These robot prototypes, which resem-ble small radio-controlled cars, were put to the test on both days.

The Stingray MUGV system comes with two vehicles and a user control unit. It weighs just over 12 pounds, and the ve-hicles are equipped with a controllable camera, infrared systems and a flashlight. The system’s design allows the vehicles to be tossed or dropped short distances, as well as perform limited actions in aquatic environments.

Pfc. Jose A. Mendez Jr.2nd Marine Division

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE -- The Marine Corps is renowned for its ability to be ready to fight anywhere in the world within a moment’s notice, which is the reason the Ma-rines of 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, participated in Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training from Aug. 14 through Sept. 14.

More than 650 Marines and sailors, from 2nd Marine Division and 2nd Marine Logistics Group, as well as Canadian soldiers with Prin-cess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, took part in the month-long training conducted in Toiyabe National Forest, Calif.

In order to master the training, service members had to pass through three different phases.

The first phase, called pre-environmental training, teaches Marines how to make drink-ing water using filtration systems, to make improvised shelters, to tie knots necessary for rappelling and to safely cross gorges.

Phase two is the basic mobility phase, con-ducted over a 13-day period at four locations, where they practiced various survival tech-

niques.At the first site the Marines learned escape

and evasion techniques and had to survive as a fire team on one meal, ready to eat for more than 48 hours. After hiking to the second site they worked on land navigation in mountain-ous terrain and steep earth climbing with 65-pound packs.

“Between each site the Marines had to conduct a two-hour to eight-hour foot move-ment to the next site,” said Lt. Col. Steve Pritchard, the battalion commander for 1st Bn., 10th Marines.

At the third site, the service members learned rappelling with their gear in day and night conditions, after which they had to con-duct an assault ascending the cliff.

Site four was individual rock climbing dur-ing both day and night while the Marines’ equipment was being hauled to the top. A river crossing in approximately 40 degree, chest-high water, was included as well.

The mountainous terrain wasn’t the only challenge for the Marines, who also had to deal with the high elevation.

“Six thousand seven hundred feet to 11,000 feet is a lot of elevation gain so it takes more time to get between checkpoints,” Pritchard

said. “However in the mountains we can go from 7,800 feet, come back to 6,000 feet then go back up and down continuously which made it very difficult.”

To combat the difficulties of traveling through the mountains, the training center teaches a new system during the hikes.

“In the Marine Corps on average we usu-ally hike three miles for 50 minutes with a 10 minute break in between. Now in the mountains you may go half of a mile in 50 minutes because of the terrain,” said Pritchard, a Weymouth, Mass., native. “So out there we conduct what is called a 25 and five, which is every 25 minutes we take a five minute break so the Marines can retain some sort of energy during the strenuous hikes.”

A big problem facing the Marines was logis-tics. At higher elevations the level of oxygen begins to diminish which not only effects fa-tigue levels, but also plays into the logistical aspect because it limits helicopters’ ability to bring supplies to the Marines. Additionally, ground vehicles can’t navigate the rough ter-rain making resupply impossible.

“We were reliant upon 19th century tech-nology in order to resupply our units. The use of mules for logistical resupply was taught and applied,” said Pritchard. “During the train-ing we had had two strings of eight mules that provided logistical support to our units.”

The mules helped the Marines by bringing food, water, weapons and ammunition.

With all of the knowledge taught in the first and second phase they were ready to move onto the final phase of training. Phase 3 is bet-ter known as the six-day field evolution.

The Marines were faced with scenarios, which would force them to use everything they learned throughout the training.

“If we as Marines say any clime and any place, then the mountains are one of those places,” said Pritchard. “So we have to be pre-pared to fight and win in any clime and place.”

his small town was one of many after meeting others with simi-lar backgrounds.

“I wanted to feel like I was contributing to something big-ger, so I set a goal to start giv-ing back to the community,” said Berger, a native of Sulli-gent, Ala. “Having a little girl really influenced me to get involved because I wanted to set a good example. I feel that volunteering in the community really does set a good example for my child and other children around the world.”

On average, Berger volun-teers 10 hours a month if time allows and encourages his wife and daughter to join him in community service.

“As an active volunteer I would have to say there aren't very many benefits to a service member besides maybe work-ing on cooperation skills, but there are many good emotions involved and it is a good feel-ing that cannot be explained in words,” said Berger.

One of his favorite places to volunteer is at the Laurel Bay Youth Center because he enjoys working with children.

“Corporal Berger always

has his hand up whenever we are looking for volunteers and he also proactively looks for volunteering opportuni-ties while also incorporating his family and friends,” said Lisa Montanez, H&HS Family Readiness Officer.

“I guess I would have to say the main benefits of being a volun-teer would have to be a sense of understanding bad situations, stimulating the pride of being a Marine 24/7, and knowing that you positively influence others,” said Berger.

Marines who volunteer may become eligible to receive the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal for a sustained and direct outstanding volun-teer service to the community of a consequential nature, nor-mally for a 3-year period.

Requirements for the medal include service to the civil-ian community, military family community, significant in na-ture and provide tangible re-sults, to reflect favorably on the military service and the Depart-ment of Defense.

because their fields are over-populated or are closed for promotion.

The Marine Corps is down-sizing, cutting 20,000 from active duty by 2017. With sequestration, the military’s shrinking budget means even deeper manpower cuts could happen that would toughen re-enlistment eligi-bility for Marines.

“Eligible Marines inter-ested in re-enlisting should request to make a lateral move as soon as possible,” said Gunnery Sgt. Orion Mur-ray, career planner for Head-quarters and Headquarters Squadron aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. “For junior Marines, making a lateral move early in their service can be a good idea. By moving into a field that promotes quickly, Marines can obtain job security, set-ting them up with the ability to stay in for a 20 year retire-ment.”

All lance corporals and cor-porals up for re-enlistment in 2014 are eligible to ap-ply provided they meet all other requirements for the

field. Marines also must meet time-in-grade requirements before they can be noncom-petitively promoted. For a lance corporal to be pro-moted to corporal, they must have eight months at their current rank. To be promoted to sergeant, a corporal must have 12 months in their cur-rent rank. The Marines must also be current on required professional military educa-tion.

Once promoted, Marines immediately receive pay and other benefits commen-surate with their new rank. However, they will be admin-istratively reduced to their previous rank if they fail to successfully complete the re-quired MOS school.

Most of the nine career tracks eligible for the In-tended MOS Promotions program are considered high-demand, low-density, meaning they are critical but difficult to keep stocked. As a result, most do provide quick promotion times and a good chance of reaching a 20-year retirement.

Compared to other MOSs, the time needed to pick up sergeant and staff sergeant can be offset by months or even years. Some MOSs are

so overpopulated that even those fortunate enough to be selected for promotion can wait more than a year to pin on rank.

“If a Marine is interested in lateral moving I encourage them to meet with their ca-reer planner as soon as pos-sible to get started,” Murray said. “This program can help those looking to stay in by getting them promoted, into a secure job field and increas-ing their chances of reaching a 20-year retirement.”

Disease Control one in eight women born in the U.S. will get breast cancer at some point during her life. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common kind of cancer in women.

“Our goal is to raise awareness about the importance of screen-ing and the early detection of breast cancer,” said Cam-mye Little, the breast care coordinator for Naval Hospital Beau-fort. “Women have an in-creased chance of surviving breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. Statis-tics show the number of deaths caused by breast cancer has gone down in re-cent years due to an increase in the number of women

checking themselves and receiving mammograms regularly to check for breast cancer.”

There are several types of breast cancer which can be diagnosed at different stages of development, grow at different rates, and even be

diagnosed in men as well as women.

“Preventing and detect-ing breast cancer early

will help save more lives,” Little said. “Wom-

en need to know that by receiving breast exams, mammograms

and other screenings they increase their

chances of detecting breast cancer early, when

they are most likely to be cured. By promoting

breast cancer aware-ness and prevention

amongst one anoth-er we are helping mothers, daughters, wives and even the occasional male beat the disease.”
