Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122, also known as the Werewolves, returned to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort after a six month deployment to the Western Pacific, Sept. 13. During their deployment, the Marines worked alongside numerous units from the Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and other foreign military organizations at Iwakuni, Japan, Gwangju, South Korea, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, and Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska.

Marines with Marine Fighter At-tack Squadron 122, also known as the Werewolves, returned to Ma-rine Corps Air Station Beaufort af-ter a six month deployment to the

Western Pacific, Sept. 13.The Marines deployed as part

of the Unit Deployment Program. During their deployment, the Ma-rines worked alongside numer-ous units from the Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and other foreign military organizations at Iwakuni,

Japan, Gwangju, South Korea, Ma-rine Corps Base Hawaii, and Eiel-son Air Force Base, Alaska.

“This deployment opened my eyes to the opportunities the Ma-rine Corps provides, other cultures and the importance each Marine holds in the overall accomplish-

ment of our mission,” said Lance Cpl. Nathan King, an airframe me-chanic for VMFA-122. “Traveling was pretty awesome. The experi-ence was different and although we worked hard it was still cool to be able to get away from the Air Station for a while and work

with service members from not only other Marine units, but other branches and countries as well.”

“It’s the nature of this job; you go from zero to 60. It’s something we train for,” said Fire De-partment of New York Battalion Chief David Simms on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 at-tacks, speaking to the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort base fire fighters. “I don’t usually talk about it.”

Simms was scheduled to be on shift when the attacks occurred, but swapped shifts when his

friend, Lt. Kevin Pfeifer of the FDNY, talked him into going to see a New York Jets game.

“I was the first of many lives he would save,” said Simms. “I wouldn’t be standing here if it wasn’t for Lt. Pfeifer.”

Watching the game the evening before the attacks would be the last time he saw Pfeiffer.

“That’s got to be something weighing on his conscience,” said Joe Laferrera, firefighter and

Do you ever feel as if you have had the last straw, or you have even far surpassed that? Do you ever feel like the camel where the last straw broke its back, only it did not end there, and the hay just kept falling down on you; the camel was from a bank loan of 20% (twice that of the tithe) com-pounded daily; and the creditors in search of payment, couldn’t find any, so they sufficed to take your bed as a down payment for their time they spent try-ing to recapture the money you owed them? If you feel as though you are at your wits end, then I en-courage you to hang in there, don’t give up, and seek God as you have never sought Him before. The re-freshing Scrip-ture comes to my mind which says, “If My people who are called by My name will hum-ble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

You see, with God there is always hope, there is always a new day of pos-sibilities. Even if someone has not been living right with the Lord, His Word says that His mercies are new every morn-ing. This is great news—His mercies are new, not just some mornings, or Sat-

urday or Sunday mornings, or annual Resurrection Day mornings (otherwise known as Easter mornings); rather, His mercies are new every morning.

I know that with God all things are possible. Not with man are all things possible, but with God, all things are possible to those who believe (Mat-thew 19:26; Mark 9:23). If you have given up, then I implore you to hope again. Besides, if you are at the bottom, there is only one direction left to go, and that is up. If you have failed time and time again, then don’t give up, but

try again. Thomas Edison didn’t give up, and some 10,000 bulbs plus later, he in-vented the light bulb.

Listen to some of these people who did not give up, but acted in faith, and God met them where they were at, and began to help and restore them and their potentials and destinies in life, even though at the time, everything seemed hopeless. “By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith

he lived as an alien in the land of prom-ise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; for he was look-ing for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised. Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE

SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEA-SHORE” (He-brews 11:8-12).

God’s heart is for you, and He wants you to succeed more than you want to succeed. As we begin to turn our hearts and lives over to God, God will help us and see us through. Don’t quit; it’s not over until He says it’s over,

and guess what? The Lord says He has come to give us life, and life more abun-dantly (John 10:10). Today is a new day, and if you have lost hope or have given up, then I encourage you to turn your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, “Who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart” (He-brews 12:2, 3).

Hope against Hopelessness

“If you have failed time and time again, then don’t give up, but try again. Thomas Edison didn’t give up, and some 10,000 bulbs plus later, he invented the light bulb.”

emergency medical technician aboard the Air Station. “You can’t hold that in.”

Simms responded to the attacks from home the next morning.

“We worked about 48 hours straight. The dust was incred-ible,” said Simms. “Nobody ever imagined this would happen.

“We were told those buildings would withstand the impact from a jet aircraft – and they did. No one imagined what burning jet fuel would do to thousands of pounds of steel.

“It was a horror show, it really was.”

In the years after the attacks, tactics for the fire department changed. They use self-evacua-tion, assume attacks have a sec-ondary device, and will look for symptoms of a chemical attack.

“It’s a more cautious, slower approach,” said Simms.

Between deaths and retire-ments, the fire department was depleted. Between 2002 and

2007, they brought on 6,500 new firefighters, said Simms.

“The job got very young very fast. We are as good now as we have been,” he said.

Simms said grief and health issues started popping up later, years after the attacks.

“It didn’t manifest itself right away,” he said. “Dealing with grief, we all deal with it in our own way.

Laferrera said the most im-portant thing he learned from listening to Simms is that you have to talk to people that un-derstand your lifestyle as you go through stages of grief.

“Sometimes we can’t save somebody. He’s battling guilt, he’s battling anger, he’s battling grief,” said Laferrera, a native of Staten Island, N.Y. “While it helps us all to hear about the attacks and their impact on the United States, it helps him more.”

“Even the smallest act of ser-vice, the simplest act of kind-ness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11,” said President Barack Obama in a radio address.

challenges and opportunities to learn new things, many of the VMFA-122 Marines were especially excited when they landed in Hawaii to participate in Rim of the Pacific, the world’s largest multinational maritime exercise hosted by the U.S. Pa-cific Fleet.

“The RIMPAC exercise was the largest exercise we as a squadron have ever partici-pated in,” said Lt. Col. Douglas DeWolfe, the commanding of-ficer of VMFA-122. “RIMPAC, as well as all of the other training exercises we conducted, got us out of our element in different ways and provided us with op-portunities to conduct train-ing and experience things we normally would not have the chance to at the Air Station. The training provided us with many scenarios that will increase our

squadron’s abilities, and better prepare us for whatever the fu-ture may hold.”

This year’s RIMPAC consisted of 23 nations, 49 surface ships, six submarines, and more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 person-nel. During RIMPAC, VMFA-122 worked closely with Marine Aircraft Group 12 based out of Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan.

“This deployment was suc-cessful and beneficial for our squadron,” said DeWolfe. “Any time you have Marines con-stantly packing up and mov-ing, operating at a high op-erational tempo and focusing on the further development of their occupational skills, you’ll continue to notice the benefits long after they have returned home. These Marines worked hard for everything they accomplished and con-tinued to rise to the occasion and exceed expectations at every opportunity.”

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE. N.C. - After three days of seminars and scenarios inside the Ball Center, a host of British sol-diers eagerly boarded buses to depart for an urban combat training facility and test their increased interoperability.

Approximately 100 soldiers with 5, 6, and 7 Military Intelligence Battalion, 1 Intelligence Surveillance Target Acquisition Brigade, were taught the Marine Corps’ Structured Analytic Techniques by Marines of 2nd Intelligence Battalion, II Marine Expeditionary Force, as part of Exercise Phoenix Odyssey, Sept. 8-11.

The three-day, 25-hour training block con-sisted of ten classes involving: analytic tech-niques, analytical pitfalls, critical thinking, cre-ative thinking, issue development, and more. The entire process is designed for profession-als to externalize ideas, in order to allow team members to build upon and critique them.

“These SAT techniques are making the Ma-rine Corps’ intelligence community more ef-fective, so we wanted to share it with them,” said Staff Sgt. Frank S. Chisowsky, the course director of the Analytic Methods Group, 2nd Intel Bn, and a native of Hazleton, Pa.

The dozens of discussions and practical ap-plication activities conducted over the days of training were designed to provide the British soldiers insight into the techniques, procedures and language of the Marine intel-ligence community.

“It was very interesting to see how the Ma-rines do things compared to the British Army,” said Cpl. James M. Cochrane, a military intel-ligence operator for 53 Company, 5 MI Bn, 1 ISTA Brigade, and a native of Leeds, England. “It’s helped us to receive this training in (Ma-rine) ways, so now we are speaking the same language effectively.”

The familiarity will be valuable for the field exercise portion of Phoenix Odyssey, where the British soldiers will work side-by-side with the Marines for one week of conflict driven scenarios involving terrorism, civil unrest and even civil war while operating in a foreign nation.

“Marine techniques and British techniques get to the same end state, but the classes helped us understand how they get there,” said Maj. Emma J. Duvall, commanding offi-cer of 51 Company, 5 MI Bn, 1 ISTA Brigade, and a native of Edinburgh, England. “We now see how to blend our techniques, and we’re looking forward to working together.”

The two forces will be co-located in a Mili-tary Operations in Urban Terrain training facil-ity on Camp Lejeune for the remaining seven days of Exercise Phoenix Odyssey. They will live and work out of the same concrete struc-tures, while being engaged by active role players in the area and responding to sce-narios provided by the staff of 2nd Intel Bn.

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. – Marines with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) 465 “Warhorse” conducted a troop transport exercise aboard Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Ariz., Sept. 11.

The exercise provides training for the pilots and crew, as well as a way to move personnel.

A CH-53E Super Stallion departed Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and flew to MCAS Yuma to pick up 17 Marines from Marine Air-craft Group (MAG) 39. HMH-465 then trans-ported the Marines to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif.

“It’s important because we are supporting our own,” said Capt. Kevin Rector, a Warhorse pilot. “The Marines at MAG-39 fall under the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, so it’s good to be able to support ourselves locally and abroad.”

The flight allows the entire crew to see differ-ent types of terrain, from the desert of MCAS Yuma to the mountainous terrain of MCB Camp Pendleton, explained Rector.

The six-hour flight allowed the pilots and air crew to use night vision goggles, which per-mitted them to complete required night train-ing as well.

“We had a Marine who had his first night flight tonight. So we were able to knock out some valuable training,” said Cpl. Isaiah Hil-dreth, a crew chief with HMH-465. “It’s fun, I genuinely enjoy my job.”

The crew finished the exercise without flaw and remains mission ready to assist Marines at a moment’s notice.

Students with Charlie Company at The Basic School at Marine Corps Base Quantico, simulated the evacuation of a Marine killed in action Sept. 9 at the training grounds of Quantico. The Marines are on their seven-day War Field Exercise from Sept. 5-12.

Cpl. Jose LujanoDefense Media Activity

MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. - As warfare and needs of the world evolves so must the Marines, who an-swer the call to action.

Marine officers with Charlie Company of The Basic School conducted a seven-day War Field Exercise from Sept. 5-12. The Marines began their evolutions on ships at Naval Station Norfolk, Va.

“I have never been on a Naval ves-sel before, and it’s a lot more cramped than I imagined,” said 2nd Lt. Michael D. Hastings, a student with the school. “We were on it for only 48 hours.

“I can definitely see how you need to figure out something to do when you’re on ship for an extended period of time.”

The new national defense strategy focuses on the Asia-Pacific region and the Marine Corps spending more time on the high seas. The company’s offi-cers created a foundation to lead the fight against chaos in this amphibious environment.

After completing training aboard the ship the Marines were airlifted by MV-22B Ospreys to a training area at Ma-rine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia.

“This is the culminating exercise fol-lowing six months of officer training regardless of what military occupa-tional specialty these guys are going to,” said Capt. Nicholas C. Mannweiler, a warfighting instructor with The Ba-sic School aboard MCB Quantico. “The exercise will push them to their limits and test their true officership.”

The officers had a variety of objec-tives to accomplish which tested their tactical decisions making skills. The training attempted to test the young leaders by re-creating the friction caused by the uncertainty of war. Fric-tions such as sleep deprivation, hun-ger and physical exhaustion begin al-tering plans and start to affect sound decisions making.

This exercise tested these new of-ficers’ ability to work through these problems while still completing their assigned mission.

“Every single War FEX develops and adapts based on what’s available to us, who we are able to partner with in the Navy or Marine Corps to be able to provide them a more enriching experi-ence,” said Mannweiler.

Ensuring The Marine Corps remains America’s force in readiness, being

able to fight wherever whenever, be-gins from day one with officers and leaders of the Corps learning a pleth-ora of tactical knowledge.

“They are exposed to a wide variety of new mission sets they haven’t nec-essarily seen before,” said Mannweiler. “They get assets such as unmanned aerial vehicles.

“They get all these capabilities and new skill sets that lead into greater mis-sions they may not have sat through a class on, or may have not seen it first hand, but the building blocks and the lessons that they’ve learned through blood sweat and tears will help them get through those new missions.”

The exercise provided the officers with a snapshot of the capabilities and assets they will one day wield. Accord-ing to Mannweiler, the ships, aircraft and weaponry instilled the officers with a warrior mentality of being am-phibious and what it is like to be part of a Marine Expeditionary Unit.

“We are morphing to an expeditionary force in readiness, as opposed to a land occupation force, its definitely good to get first hand experience of what it is like to be on a ship and working closely with the Navy,” Hastings said.

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION YUMA, Ariz. – Aviation ground support (AGS) students of Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) course 1-15, hosted by Marine Weapons and Tactics Squadron 1, were educated about the intrica-cies and operations of the MCAS Yuma flight line.

The exercise aimed at acquainting the WTI students, who come from a variety of techni-cal backgrounds and military occupational specialties, with the flight line’s terminology, markings and resident services.

“We are learning that, as aviation ground support, our job is to provide capabilities to the Marine Aircraft Wing, and that we have a lot of capabilities at our disposal,” said Maj. Christian Felder, an AGS student from Marine Wing Support Squadron 271, based at MCAS Cherry Point, N.C. “Hopefully we’re able to use that for our benefit, not only for the [Aviation Combat Element] as part of the Marine Air Ground Task Force, but for all of the support-ing agencies we have as well.”

After the students observed the numerous aircraft operating on MCAS Yuma’s flight line as part of WTI exercises, they received a pre-sentation from the station’s Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) department.

ARFF simulated an aviation mishap by ig-niting their mobile aircraft firefighting train-ing device, which is a mock aircraft capable of lighting propane fires outside and within to simulate a burning airframe. Running through their tactics, techniques and proce-dures while subduing the flames, ARFF ex-plained their capabilities to the AGS students in detail.

“’Save lives and protect property’ – that’s our unit’s motto, and it’s heavily emphasized during WTI,” said Lance Cpl. Kenny Speciale, a lineman for ARFF. “We do this kind of train-ing at least once a month, but our tempo has picked up leading up to WTI because we have to learn how to tend to aircraft that aren’t usu-ally on station.”

The AGS students will continue to receive extensive education on their mission as WTI unfolds in the upcoming months.

WTI Aviation Ground Support Students Get a Taste of Firefighting

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - The Marines of 1st Law Enforcement Battalion con-ducted their first ever live-fire training with the Non-Lethal/Tube-Launched Mu-nition System aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Sept. 11.

During this initial training shoot, LEB Marines made history as the first Marines to fire this weapon system on the West Coast. The new technology will change the way Marines interact with potential threats during mounted patrols and ve-hicle checkpoints.

“It is designed to warn vehicles that are approaching [restricted areas],” said Mer-lin Lewis-Ellis, a life cycle logistician from Elizabethtown, North Carolina. “It helps determine their intent without actually going lethal.”

The NL/TLMS holds 30 rounds of 40 mm flash-bang ammunition that when shot can be seen up to 600 meters away.

“It helps determine the bad guys from the good guys,” said Lewis-Ellis. ”You don’t want civilian casualties and this al-lows [Marines] to not go lethal if it’s not necessary.”

1st LEB trains with a variety of non-le-thal weapons and applies multiple non-lethal tactics.

“This weapon will be useful in future deployments for the Marine Corps,” said Sgt. Mark Wagstaff, 30, from Baltimore, the ammunition chief for 1st LEB. “It gives us another non-lethal tactic to apply in situations where lethal weapons are not necessary.”

The Marines continue to broaden their horizon with new technology that will of-fer them more options in non-lethal situ-ations.

“It gives the Marine Corps a new capa-bility,” said Wagstaff. “It’s another asset in the arsenal that we have.”

As the training concluded, darkness again returned to the night and the Ma-rines left confident with their new skill set.

Recon Marines hone marksmanship skillsCpl. Anna Albrecht15th Marine Expeditionary Unit

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Marines with Bravo Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, participated in a close-quarters tactics course aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Sept. 11. The training is conducted to prepare the company for its role when composited with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit in Octo-ber.

During this portion of the seven-week training evolution, the Marines learned and practiced the fundamentals of combat with the M4 Carbine rifle and the M45A1 Close Quarters Battle Pistol in a close-quarters ur-ban environment.

“The Marines need the ability to shoot precisely,” said Pedro Ruiz, a tactical instruc-tor with the close-quarters tactics course. “We’re trying to get them to the point where they can hit only enemy targets in a close-quarters situation, even under stress.”

Ruiz and his team of instructors train Ma-rines in combat tactics, mainly focusing on units like Bravo Company, so they can be ready to fulfill their roles while deployed with a MEU.

“Most of their missions during this time are going to be based on land-raids and maritime interdictions,” said Ruiz. “They’ll do [visit, board, search and seizure], and with

this training they’ll be able to control or take over any situation where they’re needed.”

The pressure instructors like Ruiz put on the Marines is vital to add to the authenticity of the exercise. The Marines are expected to be able to shoot precisely and rapidly under any condition.

“Things become much more difficult un-der stress,” said Sgt. Robert Hunt, from En-terprise, Utah, and an assistant team leader with Bravo Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion. “When the instructors put stress on you, the manipulation of your hands for things like speed reloads and malfunctions becomes much harder.”

Through continuous practice, running drills and putting thousands of rounds down range every day, the Marines are able to increase their speed, accuracy and confi-dence in both their fellow Marines’ and their own abilities.

“I’m doing a lot better than I was when we started this course,” said Hunt. “This training has really helped me develop my skills as a marksman and the skills of the unit overall.”

After finishing the marksmanship phase of the training evolution, the Marines will move on to the tactics phase and conclude with a test that combines what they learned throughout the course.

A Marine with Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, fires an FGM-148 Javelin during a TOW battle drill aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., Aug. 28-29. The Marines were performing basic TOW drills using live fire and maneuver to ensure they were ready for future deployments.

BRIDGEPORT, Calif. – Running on less than an hour of sleep, Ma-rines from 3rd Battalion, 1st Ma-rine Regiment loaded their gear and continued their climb to the next objective during the final field training portion of Moun-tain Exercise 2014, Sept. 8.

The culminating event tests the Marines on skills they have learned aboard Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Cen-ter over the past month.

“We’ve trained for this and my Marines are ready,” said Sgt. Josh-ua Germond, an acting platoon sergeant with 1st Platoon, Lima Company, 3/1. “They know what they need to do, and they’re ready to get out there and do what is needed.”

After a 40 minute upward trek, Marines shedded their main packs and continued forward to the “Dog Bone.”

Less than 20 minutes after de-parting, gun fire erupted and filled the once quite air.

“Contact front!” someone shouted and Marines instantly dropped to the ground and be-

gan returning fire.“Get those 240s over here and

start laying suppressive fire!” shouted Lance Cpl. Jacob Pe-draza, a team leader with 1st Pla-toon, Lima Company.

Caught in a vulnerable posi-tion, the Marines quickly found themselves fighting an uphill battle. Facing a reinforced squad-sized enemy, the Marines began bounding forward, using ma-chine-gun fire to suppress and subdue the enemy.

“We were in a pretty bad spot when we first took fire,” said Ger-mond, 24, from Knappa, Oregon. “We held our position and then individual actions led us to ad-vance and gain ground.”

Taking the initial hill, Germond and his squad began sweeping through densely-wooded areas and encountered fire-team-sized enemy elements.

“[The enemy] was set in place pretty good,” Germond said. “We continued to push through to our objective.”

After taking simulated casual-ties, Marines stepped up and took over as team leaders and continued to direct Marines and eliminate the enemy.

Lance Cpl. Jonathan Ladowski, an infantry rifleman with 1st Platoon, Lima Company, 3/1, was one of those Marines who quickly found himself in a posi-tion where Marines were looking to him for leadership.

“My team leader went down and I took over,” said Ladowki, 20, from St. John, Ind. “It’s what were trained to do. In a moment like that, when their so much go-ing on, you can’t hesitate. We all know what we need to do and Marines turn to you for direction, you have to be ready to step up and my [noncommissioned offi-cers] trained us for that.”

Painstakingly, Marines seized the “Dog Bone” and immedi-ately began setting in defensive positions to ensure they weren’t

taken by surprise.“You fight so hard and you’re

tired,” said Cpl. Jose W. Delgado, a squad leader with 1st Platoon, Lima Company. “But it’s not over. You have to make sure you don’t put yourself in a position to lose what you fought so hard to get.”

With the “Dog Bone” secured, and defensive positions set in place, Marines from India Com-pany had the cover necessary to pursue to their main objective.

“[The Marines] were great out there,” Germond said. “We’ve come together, and it showed to-day. I’m confident that this group of Marines will have no trouble facing anything they’re going to be asked once we deploy with the [15th Marine Expeditionary Unit].”

Celebrating past, present, future

Cpl. Sarah CherryStaff Writer

The United States celebrates the culture and contributions of Hispanic Americans each year during National Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15 through Oct. 15.

Sept. 15, 16 and 18 hold significance as independence days for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico and Chile.

Culture is defined as the values, customs, and ways of thinking and behaving of a society, group place or time.

Hispanic culture refers to culture of Spanish origin, regardless of race, and often branches from South America, Central America and the Carib-bean islands.

“I would like to keep passing the traditions I was raised on to my loved ones and my children, that way that culture doesn’t perish,” said Sgt. Ge-rardo Gamez-Arellano, a motor vehicle operator aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort from Indiantown, Fla. “Knowing the background of how your culture came about and the traditions within it is important.”

Gamez-Arellano’s culture is evident in his life. His favorite dish is arroz y molé, and the walls of his room display an Aztec calendar handcrafted from wood and an ornately framed painting of the Virgin Mary reflecting his family’s Roman Catholic background.

“With my family, we go to church every Sunday and cherish important holidays in the church,” he said. “When speaking to my family members, I really use my second language of Spanish a lot.”

Some of his family members don’t speak English, he added.In July 2013, 17 percent of the population of the United States, or 54

million citizens, identify as having Hispanic heritage according to the United States Census for 2013. 38.3 million citizens over the age of five speak Spanish at home.

The United States has the second largest Hispanic population world-wide as of 2010, according to census.gov, surpassed only by Mexico.

“Their histories and cultures stretch across centuries, and the contribu-tions of those who come to our shores today in search of their dreams continue to add new chapters in our national story,” said President Bar-rack Obama in a speech, Sept. 12. “This month, we honor the rich heritage of the Hispanic community and celebrate its countless achievements.”

ate tornadoes and storm surge. According to the National Hur-

ricane Center, storm surge along the coast is frequently the pri-mary cause of harm to people and properties. Storm surge can cause tides up to twenty feet or higher in certain circumstances.

South Carolina is very vulner-able to hurricanes and tropical storms with more than 200 miles of densely populated coastline. Beaufort County has an overall elevation of ten feet and is par-ticularly susceptible to storm surge and flooding.

“If you don’t prepare for the worst case scenario, then you’ll fail,” said Lance Cpl. Dustin Cess-na a meteorological and ocean-ographic analyst forecaster aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort from Morehead City, N.C. “Failure to prepare can lead to injuries or death.”

Before a hurricane, planning by creating an emergency kit, evac-uation route, pet arrangements

and a home protection plan.From the Air Station, most

routes south follow the coast line, while routes north move further inland providing more safety.

An emergency kit should have three days of drinking water per person, non-perishable food, a flashlight with extra batteries, a portable battery-operated ra-dio, first-aid kit, hand operated can opener, necessary medicines and cash according to South Carolina Emergency Managment Division.

Home protection involves re-ducing debris and reinforcing the structure. Make sure shrubs and trees are well-trimmed and maintain clear gutters. Cover windows with shutters or ply-wood. Move loose items like trash cans and bicycles inside so they won’t be a hazard in fast winds.

“It’s good to have plans so that you know everybody’s on the same page and have account-ability with your fellow Marines,” said Cessna. “Safety is number one.”
