VOLUME 73 EDITION 23 USS BATAAN, AT SEA
USS BATAAN – In an advanced training exercise in the Mediterranean Sea, May 10, Marines and sailors with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit simulated pursuing and raiding a suspected vessel attempting to illegally smuggle weapons and illicit
The mission conducted was a vessel board, search and seizure mission on the suspected ship in order to protect the people of Libya and eliminate any threat to U.S. interests, assets and personnel. “VBSS is a critical mission set for the USS Bataan Amphibi-
ous Ready Group because, if tasked, we must counter piracy and, or, the smuggling of weapons, explosives or any other illegal items at sea,” said Capt. Scott A. Cuomo, the operations officer for Battalion Landing Team, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 22nd MEU.
During the latetraining scenario, USNS Robert E. Peary, a Navy logistics ship, simulated the hostile vessel attempting to supply proregime Libyan forces with arms. Marines and sailors with Weapons Company, BLT 2nd Bn. 2nd Marines, served as the raid force and security element
tasked with overpowering the suspected ship and crew. “The May 10 VBSS mission provided the opportunity for our VBSS force to demonstrate its capabilities to seize a vessel that attempts to oppose the (Navy and Marine Corps) team from boarding,” Cuomo

More than 300 Marines and sailors from commands throughout Europe and the United States, along with about 2,000 French locals, gathered at the AisneMarne American Cemetery for a Memorial Day ceremony to honor the dead and missing of the World War I battle of Belleau Wood. The 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James F. Amos, backed by Marines from Marine Corps Forces Europe, members of 5th and 6th Marine Regiments and Fleet Anti-terrorism Security Team Company Europe gathered to remember and honor the 2,289 war-dead who are buried at the 42.5-acre cemetery. “Just behind me, and over this hill on June the 6th, 1918, the Marine Corps sustained more casualties than it had in its previous 143 years of existence,” said Amos in a speech in front of dignitaries and French locals. “On that day, the Marine Corps transformed from simple naval infantry to one of the most feared and revered fighting forces the world has ever known.” The ceremony featured remarks by Monique Benier, the mayor of Belleau, along with memorial addresses from both Amos and French Commander of Land Forces Lt.

Fun, safe, healthy grilling There is no denying it; “barbecuing” is great American pastime and there’s no better way to celebrate the summer months than with friends and family enjoying some barbecue in the backyard. Burgers, steaks, chicken or fish it all tastes great off the grill. But as with any outdoor activity there is the potential for injuries and in this case illness and unexpected fires. The following are a few basic safety tips to help you enjoy a safe and healthy grilling experience.
Gas Grilling:
Inspect the cylinder for dents, bulges, gouges and hoses for cracks, leaks or brittleness to make sure all the hardware and accessories are in good condition and properly attached. Periodically remove grease buildup to prevent fires that can be ignited by a hot grill. Position your grill at least 10 feet from other objects including the house, bushes or shrubs. Check the gas cylinder hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year. A light soap and water solution applied to the hose will quickly reveal escaping propane by bubbling. Also consider purchasing a grill with an automatic shut off leak detector. If you determine your grill has a gas leak, turn off the valve on the tank and have the grill
serviced by a professional. Designate the grilling area as a “No Play Zone,” keeping children and pets away. When lighting the grill, keep the top open. If the grill does not light in the first several attempts, wait 5 minutes to allow the gas to dissipate, this will help prevent any unexpected flash fires. Use long-handled grilling tools to give plenty of clearance from heat and flames.
Charcoal Grilling:
Uses approved charcoal lighter fluid, never gasoline and follow manufacturer’s directions. When using lighter fluid wait until the fluid has soaked in before lighting. Never add lighter fluid to hot or warm coals, this could cause an explosion of hot coals and serious injury. Allow coals to burn out completely and let the ashes cool for at least 48 hours before disposal. Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy duty aluminum foil and putting them in a noncombustible container. If you must dispose of the ashes in less time than it takes for them to completely cool, remove the ashes from the grill keeping them in heavy duty foil and soak them completely with water before disposing of them in a non-
Food Safety:
Bacteria begin to multiply between 40 Fahrenheit and 140 Fahrenheit, so it’s important to keep food either cold or hot right up to the moment of cooking and/or serving. To be sure bacteria are destroyed, hamburgers and ribs should be cooked to 160 F or until the center is no longer pink and juices are clear. Cook ground poultry to 165 F and poultry parts to 180 F. As always, remember that the greatest safety feature we have is smart risk management. Pay attention to what you are doing and evaluate the situation to eliminate potential hazards. For more information, contact your unit safety officer. As Marines, sailors and civilian servants we live by our core values. So think before you jeopardize the safety of yourself, your fellow Marines, sailors, civilian employees or family members and remember Semper Safe.

Coalition recovery swift success STAFF SGT. THERESA SENG 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)
In a combined effort, coalition forces conducted a ground recovery of a F-2000 Mirage aircraft, May 27. U.S., French and Italian forces conducted an 81mile combat logistics patrol from Regional Command Southwest to retrieve the French jet without incident in the Bakwa District of Regional Command West. Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), took the lead on the mission. In direct support of the battalion were teams from 2nd Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company, 2nd MLG (Fwd.), along with the Army’s 129th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion providing heavy equipment transport capabilities, an Aircraft Recovery Fire Fighting team
from Marine Wing Support Squadron 272, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, a French aircraft recovery team and an Italian team escorting the convoy from the regional command boundary to the crash site where they continued to provide security for the duration of the operation. “The MLG was very aggressive in jumping on this mission,” said Lt. Col. Jim Stone, 2nd MLG (Fwd.) deputy operations officer. “We realized early on that a ground recovery was our best option rather than pulling critical air assets out of the RC Southwest area of operation.” EOD and ARFF worked closely alongside the French team to dismantle the aircraft as much as possible prior to loading the wings of the aircraft onto a Logistics Vehicle System Replacement and the body onto a M-870 Trailer. “It was the most im-
pressive event I had the privilege to witness since being here,” said Maj. Thomas Parmiter, CLB-8 executive officer and mission commander. “The CLB-8 Marines truly impressed me with their hustle and discipline, and the MWSS-272 team was top notch with their intensity and focus. “The EOD team was no less impressive with their exceptional knowledge of the aircraft,” he continued. “The French were a pleasure to work with despite the language barrier, and the Italians were professional and remained patient despite the inevitable friction we encountered.” “Normally these recovery missions take two or three days,” said Master Sgt. Greg Harlan, ARFF staff noncommissioned officer in charge. “This was just accomplished in one day, that’s phenomenal.”

Dust flies through the air or turns to mud as it mixes with steadily growing pools of sweat. Figures form a tan blur against the vivid blue skyline as the hot California sun bears down on the Marines and Navy corpsmen of 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif. recently. It doesn’t start with a bang so much as a roar, as Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Lang, a broad-shouldered, towering corpsman who served with Company A during last year’s deployment to Marjah, Afghanistan, belts out “IED, IED! Get moving – go, go!” Junior sailors new to the battalion sprint toward peers staggering in circles or lying on the ground as they feign injury during a simulated casualty assessment. It is part of the Enhanced Mojave Viper training exercise, a month-long predeployment training event. Lang and the other senior corpsmen, some who have been with the battalion for years, run alongside, keeping
the stress levels high as they shout orders, attempting to add to the overall chaos of the situation. “Last year, I was just like these guys when I got here,” said Lang, who oversaw the training. “I thought I was good to go before my senior guys ran me through the same kind of gauntlet, but when we got into country, I realized how valuable it all was. Now, after we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t, (we get to) teach these guys what is really going to save Marines’ lives – it’s the greatest thing we can do.” There is a method to the madness, explained Lang, who went through the same exercise last year – in just a few months these new corpsmen will be attached to companies within the battalion as the unit heads out on deployment, and they’ll have to be capable of handling themselves under intense duress. In addition to the pressure they receive from their senior corpsmen, the junior sailors also face the stress they place on their own shoulders, explained Seaman Dale Dalida, a corpsman who attached to 1st Battalion, 6th Marines several days prior to the training event.
N a t i o n a l
“Whenever a Marine says ‘Hey Doc,’ I want to know what that means, I want to earn that – to deserve that title,” said Dalida. “I enjoy the training because I think it’s the closest I’ll get to the real thing – it makes it more serious so we push ourselves harder.” Overall, the training serves as an assessment for the battalion’s corpsmen. For the newer corpsmen, it lets them know where they are. It can be sobering for some, and for others it can be an affirmation that they’re headed in the right direction. For the senior sailors, it may make tough calls just a little easier. “We need to see where they stand, I have to be able to send someone I can trust to take care of my Marines,” explained Petty Officer 1st Class Tamba Sabba, the lead petty officer with 1st Battalion, 6th Marines. As the Marines and sailors finish the exercise, they retire for a short rest before they will be called to don their flak jackets and helmets and tackle the gauntlet once again – each run bringing some, like Dalida, closer to feeling they have earned the title: Doc.

miling teenagers wearing camouflage utilities adorned with a red maple leaf insignia jumped out from a silver van like circus clowns out of a tiny automobile. Due to the near 95 degree heat, many of the kids sweated profusely, clutching bottled water in their hands. However, the teenagers didn’t appear bothered. Instead, they stood mesmerized by the sheer size of the light-armored vehicle and M1A1 Abrams main battle tank that stood before them. These kids are Royal Canadian army cadets, and they traveled from Ontario, Canada to visit Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, May 25. It’s an annual trip financed primarily through fundraisers. For some of the younger cadets, it’s a new experience, and for others, it’s a repeat. During the cadets’ three-day stay, they participated in gas chamber training, obstacle courses and computer-simulated weapons training. “I thoroughly enjoy this,” said Michael T. Saunders, a 16-year-old cadet. “My favorite part was the gas chamber. It was unique.” Across the lot stood another group that was touring the base. Midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy had also come to see the traditions and capabilities of the Corps. The two groups took turns looking at the LAV and M1A1, as Marines stood ready to answer any and all questions, ranging from serious to silly. One cadet even asked one of the Marines his age. “Well, how old do you think I am?” responded the Marine. Twenty five and 36 were quickly shouted by the crowd of cadets around him.
After laughing, the 19-year-old Marine replied, “One year in the Marine Corps is equal to four in the civilian world.” “This is a little vacation to us,” said Cpl. Zach B. Farina, a lightarmored vehicle crewman with 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. “Most of them had the same questions, like how far the vehicle can shoot, and how many bullets it can take. It’s a good teaching experience.” The cadets, whose ages ranged from 13 through 18, have no contracts with the Canadian military. Whether or not they join the service will be a decision they make after high school. However, for the midshipmen, it was a different situation. As students of the Naval Academy, they must decide whether they will become a Navy or Marine Corps officer during their junior year of school. Standing tall in front of the midshipmen group, Midshipman 1st Class William M. Blue listened to the Marines with an intensity that was hard not to notice. During the midshipmens’ fiveday stay on base, they received infantry training with Marines from 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, such as counter improvised explosive device training. Blue stated that working with the infantry was his favorite experience. “I’m hoping to get infantry,” said Blue. Farina believes that whether from Canada or the Naval Academy, the tour is beneficial toward making a well-educated decision regarding the military. “Whatever decision they make will be a better informed decision,” said Farina.

Assault Amphibian Battalion conducts yearly surf training LANCE CPL. JOHNNY MERKLEY 2nd Marine Division
M
arines and sailors with Company E, 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, took part in the surf survival training exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, May 25. The training was conducted off the shore of Onslow Beach and required the Marines within the company to swim from 1,000 meters off the coast, back to shore. “This is an annual requirement for the companies within AA Bn.,� said Gunnery Sgt. Henry M. Salgado, a platoon sergeant with Company E. “It’s like our own battalion swim qualification. Every year we conduct this training to ensure the Marines are comfortable with swimming in these conditions.� The purpose of the training was to ensure the Marines had
experience in exiting their amphibious assault vehicles while at sea in case the vehicle malfunctions and begins to sink. This required the Marines to quickly take off their heavy excess gear, inform all Marines within the vehicle on how to exit and put on their life vests before it was too late. “This training shows the Marines’ ability to swim a long distance of about 1,000 meters,� said 1st Lt. Justin D. Davis, a platoon commander with Company E. “It’s simulating an amphibious landing where approximately halfway to shore their vehicle becomes disabled and begins to sink.� After the Marines swam ashore, many of them were tired and weary from the long swim in rough waters, but they also expressed their excitement. “That was my first time doing this training,� said Pfc. John J. Vloyanetes, an AAV crewman in the company. “This is great training and a good workout. I learned a lot and also had a good time doing it.�
For many of the Marines, this is their first time doing the exercise. For the noncommissioned officers who’ve been through it before, their experience and leadership is a key element of what helps teach the new Marines. “It’s always a great thing to know that you’ve got NCOs who can help guide the younger guys and instruct them during the training,� said Davis. “Staff NCOs and I rely on their leadership to make sure the company is up to par with its training of the junior Marines.� The training lasted all day as each platoon ran through the exercise. The company’s goal by the end of the day was to have all its Marines trained and comfortable with the scenario, and to have all the Marines safely on shore with the knowledge of surf survival. “From what I’ve seen so far, these Marines are definitely performing to a high level,� said Davis. “It’s good we can have training exercises like this, which are beneficial and allow the Marines to have a good time.�

Zamin Husain, the executive officer of the ANA’s 215th Corps, was the keynote speaker at the graduation ceremony. He commended the students for their hard work and encouraged them to apply their training when they get out to their respective units.

ZARANJ FROM 1A Brahawi, considering his office is around 150 miles away from Camp Leatherneck. “Sometimes he feels like he’s out of sight, out of mind, so it’s important to have that kind of interaction,� Toolan said. “It’s the reason why we spent so many hours there just working with him and assuring him that we are going to be there for him.� Once the meeting was over, Brahawi and Toolan walked through the streets of Zaranj to the new emergency room. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony was over, Toolan toured the facility and asked health department officials about its capabilities. “You can see the doctors that were there were ecstatic about being able to have that triage center,� Toolan said. “The more we can do like that, the better. Of course the key is for the ministries of health to be able to work through the government to produce those kinds of facilities rather than us build it outright.�

BELLEAU FROM 1A when we were over here, it was a watershed battle that put the United States Marine Corps onto the world map and has solidified our relationship with both the Army and the nation of France. For Marines today, it’s part of that legacy of courage and commitment.� Belleau Wood is a 200-acre forest that adjoins the cemetery behind the memorial chapel. At the cemetery, there are 2,039 known buried and 250 unknown whose remains are buried but not identified. In the chapel, there are 1,060 names inscribed on the walls to remember the missing. “It’s an honor for me to stand here today with my fellow Marines and our French allies,� said Amos. “Belleau Wood is a spiritual place for those of us who are called
United States Marines. It reaches deep inside of us to our soul and reminds us of who we truly are.â€? For most Marines, the experience was universal. “This is my second time here at Belleau Wood,â€? said Paxton. “To come back here, you get a sense of the monumental challenge in front of those Marines in 1918 ‌ it’s a fitting tribute to their valor and their sacrifice.â€? “This was a good experience for me,â€? said Staff Sgt. Matthew M. Pfarr, disbursing travel chief, Marine Forces Europe. “The bands and the Silent Drill Platoon performed very well— the addition of their performances cemented this experience in my mind. I thought it was a great tribute to those who died here and I’m glad I was a part of this trip.â€?

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. MEU FROM 1A preparation phases, Marines with BLT 2nd Bn., 2nd Marines, flew to the ship, quickly descended ropes from two Navy MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopters, and promptly began the initial raid and assault on USNS Robert E. Peary. In the early stages of the mission, Marines searched and seized the ship’s bridge, engine room and aft steering compartment to totally gain control of the vessel. Following the assault-force raid, a Marine Medium Tilt Rotor Squadron 263 (Reinforced) CH53E Super Stallion helicopter inserted Marines and sailors with Weapons Company, BLT 2nd Bn., 2nd Marines, via fast rope to supplement the recon team’s search and seizure efforts. The security element’s presence allowed the Marines to push ahead and search additional key areas aboard the ship. While the Marines and sailors searched, seized and secured USNS Robert E. Peary, aircraft with VMM-263 (Reinforced) flew overhead to provide close-air support and an aerial sniper. USS Mesa Verde sailed near the hostile ship, and also provided sniper support to cover the VBSS teams operating aboard. As soon as the team concluded the search and seizure, a specialized Navy team trained to perform additional investigative and operational procedures boarded the ship and relieved the Marines. Helicopters landed aboard the ship to extract the Marines, and returned BLT 2nd Bn., 2nd Marines, forces to USS Mesa Verde, sailing nearby. “Specific to maritime and amphibious operations, the U.S. military, and the (Navy and Marine Corps) team deployed with the USS Bataan Amphibious Ready Group to ensure the stability and continued growth of our economy by guaranteeing freedom of the seas,” said Cuomo. “This means for us today just as it did for our forefathers who were sent off the coast of Northern Libya back in 1805 – if a nation, or terrorist group of any kind attempts to interfere with the free flow of commerce, they should fully expect U.S. Marines and Navy VBSS forces to hunt them down soon after.” The Marines and sailors of the 22nd MEU are currently deployed with Amphibious Squadron 6 aboard USS Bataan Amphibious Ready Group and will continue to train and improve the MEU’s ability to operate as a cohesive and effective Marine Air-Ground Task Force. The 22nd MEU is a multi-mission, capable force, commanded by Col. Eric J. Steidl and comprised of an aviation combat element, Marine Tilt Rotor Squadron 263 (Reinforced); a logistics combat element, Combat Logistics Battalion 22; a ground combat element, Battalion Landing Team 2nd Bn., 2nd Marines; and its command element. Marine Expeditionary Units are the Marine Corps’ smallest, permanent Marine Air-Ground Task Force, and comprised of approximately 2,200 Marines and sailors ready to provide immediate response to a hostile environment or crisis.

T
he duo trots along, one loping with shoulders hunched, eyes wide, his breath heavy and quick. The other jogs with his back bent slightly under the weight. Man and canine sprint side-by-side, no leash around the dog’s collar – his handler guides him with a sharp tone or a shrill whistle. They come to a building, and as the handler stands to one side of the door, another Marine faces opposite him. With a nod of the head, the door flies open and a black Labrador retriever disappears inside, emerging several minutes later with a large chew toy in his mouth. It may look like an odd game of fetch, but the dog handlers of 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, are actually conducting an improvised explosive device course, and the chew toys represent explosives or bomb-making materials. The recent exercise is one of many that the Marines and their dogs will undergo at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., as part of Enhanced Mojave Viper, their unit’s predeployment training evolution. Bomb-sniffing dogs, like Knox, play an integral role in combat operations overseas. The dogs often prove more reliable than conventional means of detecting hidden explosives and roadside bombs due to their keen
sense of smell and the rigorous training the dogs are put through. However, the dogs and their handlers must learn to work as a cohesive unit before they can be of any use to Marines on deployment in theater. “When we first meet (the dogs), we’re not used to them, and they’re not used to us,” explained Lance Cpl. Cody West, Knox’s handler. “The dog needs to listen to you and no one else.” The training was the first time the dogs and their handlers operated outside of a controlled environment, which forced the handlers to keep their dogs’ attention on them alone and not on passing Marines, West explained. He added that it also painted a picture of the challenges they will face on deployment, where they will be operating with infantry platoons and companies. In addition to the strategic benefits the Labrador retrievers offer, there is the additional benefit of understanding that their role as dog handlers allows them to protect Marines from their greatest threat while deployed – IEDs. “A lot of people rely on what we do. My dog, you tell her what to do and she goes on auto-pilot and just does it,” said Lance Cpl. Miles Bishop, a dog handler with 1st Bn., 6th Marines. “It’s been awesome having (the dogs) around – it gives me something to look forward to.”

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Capitalizing on a costly error in the bottom of the third inning and adding two runs in the bottom of the fifth, the Astros took the 2011 Youth Fast Pitch Softball championship away from the Rays 5-3 at the Tarawa Terrace Baseball Complex, Saturday. Building a 3–0 lead in the top of the first inning, everything was going right for the Rays. Tough defense, great offense and overall smart playing kept the Astros from striking. Both teams entered the game with matching 9-1 records and had met each other in the regular season twice, splitting the season series. “This game was about the two best teams in the league,” said Astros’ Coach Dwayne Carpenter. “This was the ‘Clash of the Titans.’” Going into the bottom of the third inning, with one out and facing bases loaded, this was the kind of adversity a pitcher hates, but loves to overcome. Blowing a three-run lead, there was no hopping over the first base line for the Rays pitcher as an attempt to complete a double play resulted in an overthrown ball over the first baseman, thus sending all Astros base runners home. Though unearned, the three runs gave a boost of confidence in the
Astros dugout. “I always tell the girls to have fun first,” said Carpenter. “The only advice was to not focus on the win – focus on the play and know what to do when the ball gets to you.” The Astros infielders and outfielders didn’t have to worry about balls coming their way, however, as Astros’ pitcher Korii Smith struck out 12 batters since giving up two runs in the first inning, for a total of 14 strikeouts. “I was surprised at myself,” said the exhausted pitcher. “This is my first time playing fast-pitch softball, and I was recovering from being sick very surprised at myself.” With two runners on and no outs in the bottom of the fifth, the last thing Kellie Lucas thought she would do was break the tie. On a two strike, no ball count, she hit a liner into right field, bringing in the tie-breaking run from second base and giving the Astros a 4-3 lead. “It was exciting,” said Lucas. “I never had a moment like this.” Smith knocked in another run for insurance before striking out three batters in the top of the sixth to end the game and put the Astros out on top as champions. “Every girl worked hard all season long,” Carpenter said. “They earned and deserved this. I am just so happy for them.”

Fishing takes much more than just luck Onslow Offshore With Dr. Bogus
Whenever we are asked, “So what are you fishing for?” the customary response is, “Oh, whatever bites.” If you’re not settling for “whatever bites,” you really have more to say about what you catch than you give yourself credit for. The bottom line is, you target the fish you want to catch by picking the time of day, bait, tide and location. By-catch is okay too, but remember that luck is the residue of design. The surf activity has picked up over the past week or so. There are scattered pups being landed from the surf on cut bait and artificials, mainly early or late in the day while fishing the front facing white water surf. Similarly, there are blues and Spanish, again mostly early and late, but farther toward Bogue Inlet area at the bend. I’ve had a nice week getting flounder on the calm back edges of the sand bar dropoffs with my tandem rig. Flounder are eating both the Gulp! on the lead-head as well as the fly side of the tandem dropper rig. Near the beach, the
flounder bite is still going strong on the usual reefs and rocks, although there is some indication that more fish are moving inside along the surf and around the inlets and the Intracoastal Waterway. Live mud minnows, or their cousins the killifish (a.k.a tiger minnows), peanut pogies, live shrimp, bucktails tipped with Gulp!, and my tandem rigs are all producing keeper fish. Also near the beach, there are still plenty of bluefish, but the Spanish bite has slowed. One good piece of news is that the kings are finally showing along the beach at long last. There have been plenty of pogies cruising along, and now the kings have apparently found them. This is a great time of year to slow drift live pogies on light Spanish/ king mackerel rigs in hopes of getting a citation Spanish or an eight to teen-sized king mackerel. Again, fish the artificial reefs, and rock ledges such as AR 315, 320, 330, 345 or Keypost Rocks, Station Rock, Lost Rock (if you can find it) and 45-Minute Rock. While working the nearshore rocks, you
may even be surprised by a dolphin fish or two, with reports of a few around Charley Buoy aro and the Honey Hole. an A little farther out aree the amberjacks or reef ree e donkeys, as they are affectionately called. They are everywhere, Th will give you a great wil pull l and, contrary to common belief, make great table fare. The pier fishing has been a bit sporadic, but there have been good catches of hogfish, sea mullet on sand fleas, and some big pompano. Think incoming tide, especially for the sea mullet. There have been some cobia, some up to 48-pounds and quite a few shorts, under the 33inch minimum. On top of that, the first king mackerel was weighed in on Bogue Pier. There were a few lost cobia, one notable one hooked on a GotCha plug but just missed the gaff. Of course, there are still some Spanish and blues around, including some choppers. Again, early and late are the most productive times to fish for them. And don’t forget the sheepshead either. Bring some fiddlers or sand fleas and lots of patience. The sheepshead are being caught around all the bridges and the Morehead port wall as well. The Topsail Piers and Seaview Pier reports fair summer like fishing: spots, sea mullet, flounder and croakers. There have only been a couple kings this week, increasing the total this season to about 25. The king fishing has slowed recently as the water has been muddied by the dredging of New River Inlet, just to the north of
the pier. Surf City Pier reports that sheepshead are thick right now. They also have had some spots, pompano, croakers and only one of 10 keeper flounder. They also had a 36-pound and an 18-pound cobia, but no kings. Jolly Roger Pier has blues, Spanish, pompano, sea mullet and red and black drum and lots of short cobia. No kings have been caught so far this season. Inside, there are some puppy drum being found and, with the water clearing lately, you can go back to sight and fish. Haystacks and other marsh areas are showing some schooling reds and I’ve heard of some above slot fish in Hoop Pole Creek, along with some topwater hitting speckled trout. That’s also a nice area to kayak fish, with easy-in, easy-out access in the Atlantic Station shopping center next to the Food Lion. With the Big Rock Blue Marlin tournament just around the corner, what does the offshore fishing look like? With the mixing of the waters recently, there isn’t much in the way of sharp temperature breaks, but there are sailfish, white marlin and dolphin from the 90-Foot Drop on out to the Big Rock with the water temperatures transitioning smoothly from 75 to 82 degrees. There was also a report of a 800-pound blue marlin released last week. The Ask Dr. Bogus Fishing show, heard every Monday morning at 7:30 on WTKF, 107.1 FM and 1240 AM, can be accessed on the Coastal Daybreak Facebook page.

A sports editor’s summer wish list
Outspoken with Russell Varner Sports editor
F
or the first time in my life, I struggled to think of a topic to write about for this week’s column. As we enter the dog days of summer, we are left with baseball, the National Basketball Association Finals, the Stanley Cup Finals and whatever National Football League news ESPN finds relevant to savor our athletic taste buds. Somewhere in the midst of my attempts to spark a topic, I came up with the summer wish list, a quick list of things I’d like see accomplished before the beginning of fall. First, I’d like to see the Dallas Mavericks give the majority of Americans what they all want to see: anyone but the Miami Heat win the NBA Finals. I’ll admit that I am pulling for the Mavericks to win, though I did say the Heat will win the title this year. I cheer for the Mavs because I have long been a fan of Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and would love to see veter-
ans like Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd get a championship ring that has eluded them far too long. This is most likely their last opportunity to win a title and solidify their legacies as some of the best to ever play the game, especially in Dirk’s case. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh will win multiple titles together before their run is over, like they promised they would the day after LeBron announced he was taking his talents to South Beach. It would be nice to see some veterans be able to take the title before the Miami trio begins hoarding them. Second, I would like to see the day we can talk about Toronto Blue Jays’ outfielder Jose Batista without including the word ‘steroids.’ In this new, supposedly clean age of baseball, Batista has been the exception to the rule, hitting home runs at a ridiculous pace matched by few even during the steroid era. Of course, because this is coming from someone who was never much of a hitter before, people are questioning how legitimate his run is. What I’d love to see is for people, including myself, to be able to sit back and just enjoy Batista’s incredible hitting in this age of the pitcher. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening for some time. Finally, I would love to see the ridiculousness that is NFL lockout finally come to an end and for the owners and players to come
together and agree on a new collective bargaining agreement or at least actually think about what this is doing to the league’s fans. Sure, both sides say that they are just looking out for our best interests, but how many of us actually believe that? If they were, then they would’ve come to an agreement a long time ago. But I digress. I’d just like to see an NFL season this year played on actual football fields as opposed to the virtual football fields on my copy of Madden 12. In addition, I’d like to see college baseball shown more on television because I think it’s just as good as the Major League product, but has more comebacks and late-inning drama, which we all love. I’d like for the Boston Bruins and their hard-hitting goalie Tim Thomas to come back and beat the Vancouver Cancuks for the Stanley Cup Finals. How many of you missed Thomas laying out Canucks’ forward Henrik Sedin in Game Three Monday night? Anytime a goalie lays out a player like that (unless it’s someone on the Hurricanes who gets laid out), I’m a fan. Finally, I wish that the United States soccer team would win the Gold Cup and make soccer popular in America, though I’m sure it’ll take a lot more than that for soccer to actually catch on. But hey, a guy can dream, can’t he?

Paradise Point Golf Course switches things up with Twisted Thursdays CPL. MIRANDA BLACKBURN
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Dressed in their khakis, polo shirts and golf shoes, lifelong and brand new golfers are ready to hit the greens as the summer season arrives. In continuation of last year’s Twisted Tuesdays, the Paradise Point Golf Course aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is slated to hold their first Twisted Thursday, a weekly golf social, today. The nine-hole social is held every Thursday throughout the summer months at 5 p.m. Each week consists of a new, fun format different from the previous week. “One week we may do something like a four club tournament, all even clubs or odd clubs, or tell them they can’t use a driver,” said Debbe Backus, assistant manager of the golf course. “The new activities every week keep golfers coming back.” For brand new golfers, this social is a great way to get started in the game. Golfers are divided into teams as they arrive, with each team of four having at least one experienced golfer to guide and help the less skilled. “It’s a great learning experience for anyone
who attends,” said Backus. “The older guys can tell the newbies to twist their wrist a little this way or stand a certain way and it makes such a huge difference.” Every other week, a small dinner is available for those who attend the social. The gathering allows for a great opportunity to branch out and meet new people. “A lot of people are apprehensive about coming out and playing with people they don’t know, but almost always they end up loving it and coming back,” said Backus. “From privates and lance corporals to lieutenant colonels, we get all sorts of people. “ The social is not only available to base personnel but their civilian friends are welcome to participate, as well. “My father is 82 years old and he has come out to the social a couple of times,” said Backus. “Usually, we all just end up sitting out back after we’re done, drinking soda and talking about all the shots we could have made.” At the end of each Twisted Thursday, door prizes are given to the winners of whatever the competition is for that particular week.

etting out of bed early on a Saturday wasn’t a problem for the kids and families participating in the 5th annual Youth Fishing Day, sponsored by Land and Wildlife Resources Section and hosted by the John A. Lejeune Rod and Gun Club aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday. The Youth Fishing Day was for children of service members or guests of base personnel ages 15 and younger. The young fishermen began casting hooks and bait at 7:30 a.m., and fished until noon. Families gathered around Orde Pond with tackle boxes, chairs and coolers. At the start of the day, coolers were full of beverages and snacks, but as the hours passed they were replaced with catfish and bass. It was also a chance for some participants to try out a new activity. “The idea is to get the kids out here so they can focus on something other than Xbox and Playstation,� said Glen Mayberry, president of the John A. Lejeune Rod and Gun Club. “We want to get them out of their houses and more
involved with the outdoors.� This particular event was focused on bringing smiles to the youth. If any of the kids needed help preparing poles or unhooking fish, there were more than enough event hosts there to help them. The wildlife resource section provided crickets and knight-crawlers for the fish anglers and Atlantic Marine Corps Communities donated beverages. Events such as this are possible because of the Environmental Management Division’s efforts toward maintaining the wildlife and environment aboard base. Ponds are filled with water if they begin to dry-out. Mayberry said fish are also stocked in the pond annually to help support the event, because many of the young fishermen come back every year to hook more fish. “I caught four or five fish last year,� said Austin Peterson, a second class Boy Scout that participated in the event. “If there’s a pond nearby, I always bring my fishing pole.� The kids shared stories of large fish they’ve caught in the past, and some of them talked about how they prepare and cook them. They all seemed to have a similar cooking style, because every story ended with “deep fried.� A few of the kids made fishing look
like a piece of cake. For some, it was the first time they’d ever caught a fish. “It’s great that we have events like this,� said Nancy Peterson, a civilian employee aboard the base. “It keeps the kids out of trouble and it promotes family unity.
You teach them good things and hopefully they grow up well.� For more information on Youth Fishing Day and similar events, call 451-7235 or 451-5226.

Camp Lejeune Bulldogs look for redemption in 2011 campaign RUSSELL VARNER Sports editor
A
t the beginning of each season, teams will often institute a team motto or theme to help inspire the players to their ultimate goal. Though it was never made official, redemption is a common theme amongst all members of the Camp Lejeune Bulldogs, the semi-professional football aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. In the team’s inaugural season last year, the team went 8-2, sending shockwaves across the league, but lost in the conference semifinals. Many of the players are receiving a second chance that they have waited years for. All have played football in the past, either at the high school or collegiate level. Some had a chance for bigger and better things, but lost that chance for one reason or another. Now, the team is ready to take advantage of their second chance. “Second chances are a wonderful thing,” said Bulldogs Head Coach Brian Haack. “No good thing comes without hard work. I think a lot of times, you find your second chance when you’re finally willing to admit what you did (wrong) with your first chance. I think the key to a successful second chance is for everyone to introspect and say, ‘What did I not do with my first chance?’” “It means a lot to us just to play football, just to get back in,” said Tristan Wilkerson, defensive team captain and linebacker. “Some of us played in high school. Some of us had opportunities to play (at Division I) schools but weren’t able to because of (one reason or another). Now, we got the discipline to play and be given that
opportunity (again), so we’re going to take it to the field with a positive head and try to win the championship.” The team currently stands at the dawning of a new era, their first under Haack and their first year in the Gridiron Developmental Football League, which consists of 50 teams from as far west as Missouri, as far north as Ohio and as far south as Florida. A few of the teams of the Alliance Football League moved to the GDFL with the Bulldogs, including the Fayetteville Enforcers, one of just two teams to beat the Bulldogs last year. The Bulldogs are already looking forward to avenging those losses, starting when they host the Enforcers at Liversedge Field Saturday at 7 p.m. “Last year was our inaugural season and we went 8-2 and made it to the conference semifinals,” said Kevin Philo, defensive lineman and linebacker. “Last year’s team was like setting the standard. It was something we can build on, as far as taking our record from 8-2 to 10-0 and winning the championship. It’s not really an expectation that’s out there. We know we can get it. So it’s just up to us to get out there and do it.” The sentiment is shared amongst all team members, from coaches to players: the team has the talent and will to win. It is just a matter of performing and, as wide receiver David Garrett put it, “winning the right way.” “We want to win. Short, sweet and simple,” he said. “But win the right way. Win by not cheating or getting (a lot) of calls to go our way. We want to win playing good football, not a lot of penalties and production.” “I want to represent and honor the history of the Marine Corps and the (Fleet Marine Force) sailors,” added Haack. “If we can accomplish those two concepts – win when we’re capable of winning and honor the Navy/ Marine Corps values and history - then that will be a
successful year.” Unfortunately, the team stumbled out of the gate in the season opener last week, losing to the Fayetteville Horizon, 20-6 last Saturday. The defense, widely regarded as one of the best in the league, put on a strong performance, contrary to what the scoreboard said. Philo, defensive tackle Ryan Holdaway, linebacker Zack Griffin and defensive back Cody Anderson led the defense with standout performances, playing hard from start to finish. The offense, on the other hand, struggled and disappointed in their first game. Haack said that both he and the offense shoulder the blame for the loss and vow to improve before their rivalry game Saturday. But, Haack also sees positives in the disappointing loss for the offense and team as a whole. “In victory and, now unfortunately, in defeat, I’m proud of these guys for the way (the players have) stuck together,” he said. “I really think (the game Saturday was) a wake-up call for most of us and it tells us that no good thing comes easily … In kind of a twisted way, I think by the end of the year, this first loss will prove itself to have been a good thing for us. It’s never pleasant to endure… (but) I believe in the character of our players and coaches and I believe we’re going to do the right thing with this very negative and sleep-depriving experience. I think we’re going to use this to make the most of our second chance.” The road to redemption begins again Saturday night as the Bulldogs look to overcome their demons and take down the Enforcers.

All-Marine Boxing Team delivers big statement in California tournament RUSSELL VARNER Sports editor

Jamel Herring poses with his championship belt he won at the 2011 National Adidas Boxing Tournament in Oxnard, Calif, recently. Herring, who fought in the 141 lbs. weight class, was one of three boxers from the All-Marine Boxing Team to compete in the event and also was awarded the Best Boxer award. “For us to go from (Marine Corps Base) Camp Lejeune and fight over there, (with) a majority of boxers coming from (the local) area, and still come out on top is a good thing,” he said.
"You can never do enough for the military and their dependents."

efore Jesse Ravelo took over as coach of the All-Marine Boxing Team, the Marines struggled in many of their tournaments, lagging behind the other military services and struggling to catch up. Since Ravelo took over, however, everything has changed. The attitude of the boxers has become one of confidence and success, as shown by the team’s recent success at the 2011 National Adidas Boxing Tournament in Oxnard, Calif. Despite bringing only three boxers to the tournament, the team took home three awards, two champions and a “Best Boxer” award, and had another boxer finish second in his weight class. “These guys have been improving since last year,” said Ravelo. “No matter where we go, we always come back with hardware now ... They got to see top-ranked boxers out there, guys they will probably see at the Olympic Trials. By winning that, they are putting out a statement that we are ready to go.” “My favorite part of the tournament was the excitement from the crowd,” added Jamel Herring, who won the championship in the 141 lbs. weight class and was given the tournament’s Best Boxer award. “I like a good atmosphere. I like to build it up, even if the crowd is against me. That just means I’ll (try harder to) put on a better show. Make people happy or basically shut them up. It’s a good feeling, especially for experience because the Olympic Qualifiers are coming up soon, so I’m trying to get as much experience as I can before I head out for (that).” Obviously, the team was in California for much more than just titles and bragging rights. Their minds, like those of the rest of their boxing brethren, are on the Olympics Qualifiers for next year’s Summer Olympics. With the qualifiers being held in the first week of August, boxers across the globe are getting in as much practice as possible and working even harder than normal, and the AMBT is no exception. It’s not that they didn’t take the National Adidas Boxing Tournament
seriously. They instead wanted to use the tournament as a measuring stick to see where the Marine boxers stacked up against their competition. The fact that only three were invited to participate in the tournament only helped fuel the team’s fire. “Honestly, the biggest thing that motivated me while I was out there was (that) we didn’t have the opportunity to bring out the whole team,” said Herring. “So I just wanted to go out there and represent the Marine Corps as a whole well … It was a big thing to me because wherever I go, I try to represent the Marine Corps (well). For me to come out on top was a big achievement for me.” Herring will be joined by Tommy Roque, Damarias Russell and Abraham Lopez, who won the 123 lbs. weight class at the 2011 Armed Forces Boxing Tournament, at the Olympic Qualifiers, all with the hopes of achieving their lifelong dream of representing the Marine Corps and their country at the Olympics. “(Making the Olympic team) would be something really, really nice,” said Lopez. “To do that and to represent the Marine Corps, (it would) be a great feeling and it’s something that not a lot of people can say that they can do.” “It’s a blessing and a dream come true at the same time,” added Herring. “I acknowledge every morning how lucky I am to be here. I know there’s plenty of Marines out there that wish they could be in (this) position, so I try to take full advantage of it and represent my country and the Corps well.” Over the next few weeks, the AMBT will be traveling to Tennessee to compete in the Ripley’s Title Tournament and to several camps over the next two months to help prepare the team for arguably their biggest tournament of the year. For some, maybe even the most important tournament of their lives. They will be competing against the best that the world, not just the United States, has to offer. If any of them were to bring home the gold, it would be a life-altering event. “These three months that are coming up are going to decide my future,” said Lopez. “Whether I want to (pursue) boxing as a career or I want to just continue with my military career.”

hen many people hear the name of a country ending in “stan,” they automatically assume it is either a nation embroiled in war, civil unrest or some sort of impending clash with the United States. With middle-eastern countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan, such a generalization can be easily made with other similar-sounding countries. However, this is definitely not the case for all the “stans.” “(The U.S.) has enjoyed a good relationship with the country of Ka-
zakhstan for some time now,” said Lt. Col. Randy Velasquez, security cooperation branch officer for Plans Division, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Central Command. “While it is the first time representatives from their Naval Infantry Brigade are visiting, elements from their Army have been coming here for some time now.” With the interests of foreign relations and the opportunity to learn new concepts in military training and operations, six officer and senior enlisted representatives from the Kazakhstani Naval Infantry Brigade and two officers from the Kazakhstani army visited Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and surrounding tenant commands during a visit to various Marine Corps installations along the East Coast, June 1 and 2.
Flying an approximate 8,000 miles and crossing 11 time zones, these eight Kazakhstani military members, aided in translation by an assigned interpreter, made their first stop aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., where they were treated to the sights and sounds of how a U.S. Marine is made. After various other stops, such as attending the Memorial Day ceremony at USS Yorktown in Charleston, S.C., they eventually arrived at MCB Camp Lejeune to observe and learn about the various operations and instruction conducted. “The U.S. has a great history of preparing its militaries for whatever may occur,” said Kazakhstani Col. Leonid Abylkassymov, a staff SEE KAZAKHSTAN 2C

New barracks coming to Lejeune LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERA
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
M
arine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is currently having three fivestory barracks constructed near Cross Street overlooking the Marina. The new barracks are slated for completion on July 16, 2012. Since ground first broke in April of last year, construction has come a long way, part of which was due to the safety measures taken by Archer Western and RQC, the company which was awarded the contract. “We take safety very seriously. We haven’t had one lost-time injury throughout this whole project,” said Kevin Morrisssey, the Hadnot Point project manager with Archer Western and RQC. “We pay attention to the little things like ensuring our workers have their badges tucked into their shirt so it doesn’t get caught on something like a drill and pull them in.” On May 26, the construction took a big step forward as workers began to add the roofs to the new barracks. Once completed, the new barracks will have many amenities not seen in the other World War II-era barracks in the Hadnot Point area. All three of the Bachelor Enlisted Quarters will
be indoor. In keeping with the Energy Conservation Program that the base enforces, solar panels will be installed on all three roofs and a geothermal well is also being built on the grounds. The construction company has also added a road and will add 640 new parking spaces, 40 of which will be for motorcycles. For Marines who do not want to be cooped up in their new rooms all day, there will also be a volleyball court, a basketball court with lights for night play and two picnic shelters in the general purpose area. “We have also added a wash area,” said Morrissey. “When Marines get back from the field, their gear isn’t exactly clean. The wash area lets them scrub down and clean their gear outside.” Each new BEQ will have 136 two-man rooms. Since the new BEQs are five stories tall, there will also be an elevator for service members to have easier access to their rooms. Each BEQ will also have their own laundry facilities, kitchenette and relaxing area. The new barracks have all met the Anti-Terrorism Force Protection requirements and can withstand winds of up to 130 miles per hour. “These barracks are near mainside and will be right across the street from a new mess hall,” said Morrissey. “It’s a great location and the buildings are really neat and sturdy.”

eadership is one of the Marine Corps’ highestheld traits in the individual Marine. Without leadership, there would be no Marine Corps. As such, every Marine, as well as every other service member and civilian aboard a military installation, is charged with being a leader to others and inspiring them to be leaders themselves. As Tom Landry, former coach of the Dallas Cowboys football team, once said, “Leadership is getting someone to do what they don’t necessarily want to do in order to achieve what they truly want to achieve.” William Joseph, director of the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune reception center, used this quote when he described Virginia Court, deputy director of the Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools Personnel Administration Center, during her retirement celebration after working a combined 40 years for the federal service in the Department of Defense at the Camp Johnson Bachelor Officers’ Quarters, June 3. “I met her more than 20 years ago when I was a young staff sergeant who thought he knew it all,” said Joseph. “Ten years after that when I returned as a chief warrant officer three, I realized it was okay not to know everything. I will never forget all that I learned from her, not
only as a mentor but as a friend.” Starting her work for the DOD in 1967, Court bounced back and forth between the Army and the Navy for five years. However, in 1972, Court found her niche working for the Marine Corps aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, and in 1976, at the MCCSSS PAC. “Her admin acumen is unmatched,” said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Michael McCann, director of the MCCSSS PAC. “She has held nearly every position there is in (the PAC), seen more than 263,000 students pass through here, received about 30 awards and has only taken one day of sick leave since I’ve been here for the past three years. That right there speaks volumes of her work ethic.” For the past 35 years, Court has evolved into something of a legend at the MCCSSS, witnessing for nearly everything since the birth of the school into what it is today – as well as the school’s leadership. “I was here when Col. (Richard) Fullerton (MCCSSS commanding officer) came through Ground Supply School as a second lieutenant,” said Court. “It certainly has been a long time, but it will still be hard on Monday morning when I get up and know I won’t be coming to work anymore.” As one might imagine, someone like Court would gain a plethora of friends when working at the same facility for more than three decades. As such, the leader she has become in her department is an aspect of her personality to be SEE COURT 2C

Camp Lejeune braces for hurricane season PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK

urricane season started June 1 and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is on the lookout. The base held their annual Atlantic hurricane season brief at the John A. Lejeune Hall theater to discuss plans for the season with Col. Daniel J. Lecce, MCB Camp Lejeune commanding officer, May 25. During the brief, John Cole, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, talked about the season’s forecast and showed surge models for MCB Camp Lejeune and Onslow and Carteret Counties. “If we have a (major hurricane) that develops during the year, it normally cuts down to the number of tropical storm systems that we see in the Atlantic hurricane basin,” said Cole. “We’re going to see the big storms out there because of the favorable conditions.” An average season has 10 to 11 tropical storms, and from that, two to three develop into major hurricanes.
This year there is an expected 12 to 18 tropical storms that could develop up to six major hurricanes. “This year there’s a 65 percent chance of an above normal hurricane season,” said Cole. For the past 137 years, North Carolina has had 132 tropical storms come within 75 nautical miles of Eastern North Carolina, which means the Tar Heel state has received some sort of impact from these storms every year. “I think the important thing is that people have a plan of action with a hurricane strike, because this is an area that is frequently threatened by storms,” said Cole. After Cole’s forecast, Lecce discussed the issues they faced last year during hurricane drills. Some pet owners refused to evacuate their homes unless they were able to accommodate their pets. Plans for facilitating pets may be implemented during the Destructive Weather Exercise. There were also concerns about whether pregnant women should have a designated shelter to evacuate to in the event of a hurricane, so they can receive proper medical care if needed.
All concerns, issues and plans were discussed during the Midrange Planning Conference, June 8. The conference was a chance for the base to review details and work out any changes in operations and procedures for the Destructive Weather Exercise scheduled for July 11 through 15. The overall goal of holding the exercise is to implement and execute destructive weather mitigation, preparation, response and recovery operations in a timely and efficient manner. Being able to practice the exercise in a controlled environment allows errors or discrepancies in operations to be identified so a solution can be implemented. “We’re going to have to deal with friction when it’s real, and none of these things go smoothly as the exercises do during a real scenario,” said Lecce. “You have things that are happening where people are in (hectic and dangerous situations). Many problems can occur during a (destructive weather scenario) and we have to be able to react to them in a reasonable way.” The Destructive Weather Exercise updates will be posted on the base website, MCB Facebook page and marquee. Commands have been notified about the exercise.

i l l i a m Yeats, an Irish poet and playwright of the early 20th century, once said that “education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” In other words, the important factor of education is not the amount one has, but how one applies it. “Knowledge is the starting point for becoming better individuals,” said Lt. Gen. John Paxton, commanding general of II Marine Expeditionary Force and commander of U.S. Marine Forces Africa. “And what matters is what you do with that knowledge.” Paxton’s audience, when he spoke of the power of individual education, were nearly 100 recently-graduated service members and civilians as well as their friends and families during the 16th annual Commanding Officer’s Graduation Ceremony held at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune theater, June 3. Of the 722 students graduating from eight colleges with classes offered at the Lejeune Education Center, these men and women gathered clad in
cap and gown to receive their diplomas. “This is all so surreal,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Angela Warner, an instructor with the Field Medical Training Battalion aboard Camp Johnson. “It’s feels so good and relieving to finally have some closure after so many years.” Warner, who graduated from the University of Phoenix with a bachelor’s degree in Human Services Management, is one of the many tens of thousands of service members who opt for a higher degree of education while on active duty. “There have now been approximately 172,000 visits to the education center in the first six months of this year,” said Col. Daniel Lecce, commanding officer of MCB Camp Lejeune. “There are a total of 722 graduates for the 2010-2011 year, with 77 of them earning their master’s degrees.” However, as one may expect, attending college classes, be they online or in an actual classroom setting, can be taxing at times, considering the average activity of a service member in a four-year span. This was not just college in the sense of attending after graduating high school because there wasn’t anything else for an individual to do at the time. These men and women had to work

erations on Urban Terrain area – the one part of the visit the officers thought to be the most entertaining. “We took them through the town while telling them about the various types of training we conduct here, such as countersniper, basic urban patrolling and re-supply and breaching operations,” said Staff Sgt. Thomas Fyfe, staff noncommissioned officer in charge of the MOUT town. “Different countries’ units train differently when it comes to urban operations, so it’s good for them to get ideas from us to improve upon.”

officers and how competent their decisionmaking is. We have a lot to bring back to our military.” It seems that nearly every month a unit or representatives from different countries’ militaries is aboard MCB Camp Lejeune in an observational or cross-training capacity. Having brothers and sisters-in-arms across the territories is crucial in the future of partnership nations, and through visits such as this one, where troops come together to learn firsthand about their foreign counterparts, that bond between militaries becomes stronger for the future.
MCX nearing end of construction LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERA
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Marine Corps Community Services has invested more than $19 million into the Marine Corps Exchange and has spent 14 months in construction and planning all to provide service members and their families a one-stop shopping destination aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. With phase II of construction complete, MCCS is preparing to move into the third and final phase. Phase II saw the renovation of the side entrance near the barbershop. “For the side entrance, we have added all new doors, concrete and paint,” said Rob Jones Jr., the main store project coordinator with Retail Division, MCCS. “We have also prepared that wing for military clothing which we will be moving from the Hadnot Point Annex to this location in September.” Additionally, when service members walk into the main exchange from the side entrance, they will notice that all of the small stores on their left have been removed. This will increase the size of the MCX and will also allow for registers to be placed near the side entrance. “Imagine it like a Wal-Mart that has an entrance to different areas,” said Jones. “That’s what the new MCX will look like.” Jones also added that although they have removed several smaller stores, GNC and the pharmacy will still remain. The convenience store, however, has been removed and the space left behind will be used for the kiosks that were once in the middle of the aisle. Phase III of the multi-million dollar project will focus on the main entrance, food court and the center of the MCX. The chain-link fence that was once blocking access to the side entrance will be moved to block access to the main entrance as well as some parking spots. The main entrance of MCB Camp COURT FROM 1C spoken highly of during her departure. “She’s going to be leaving with so much experience as well as a permanent mark on (MCCSSS),” said Fullerton. “She’s been the go-to-person for an annual 7,500 students and 500 staff members, and her absence will be like losing a cornerstone of a solid foundation.” During the ceremony, Court was presented with various letters of appreciation along with a multitude of other gifts, including a portrait of her in her office, a framed PAC guidon flag and the cased colors that flew above the MCCSSS headquarters on the day of her retirement.
Lejeune’s MCX will be modeled after Marine Corps Air Station New River’s MCX. New doors will be added and a media board is also planned. “Starting June 16, the only entrances into the MCX will be through the side and the garden center,” said Jones. Along with the front of the MCX, the food court will be getting upgrades as well. The tables and chairs which were inset into the ground will be replaced with moveable chairs and tables. The flooring will also be replaced with materials that will match the rest of the building. For service members who eat meals in the food court, MCCS has provided them other options while that area is under construction. Three concession stands located outside will offer service members a variety of food. A hot dog cart will be located left of the main entrance, as well as a hamburger stand with smoked sausages, fries and funnel cakes to the right of the main entrance. A barbecue cart will offer barbecue chicken, barbecue pork and fries adjacent to the lawn and garden entrance of the MCX. The concessionaires will operate from June 16 to July 5 from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. MCCS will also provide tables and chairs for patrons to sit down while they dine. “The center of the MCX will be walled off while we renovate it and for the patrons, they will have to walk in a big circle since the middle will be blocked off,” said Jones. “For renovations, we’re remodeling everything, adding carpeting, walling and lights so it can be as bright as the new section we have added.” Patrons will experience a temporary layout as the construction continues, but once it is done, the MCX will be bigger, better and offer more amenities. “We’re going to have a grand opening in September, but for now, construction continues,” said Jones. “It’s going to be great. We’ll have more than 135,000 square feet. It’ll be a one-stop shopping destination.” Whereas her position as deputy director will be filled with another able worker, the office that once held Court will just never be the same to the staff of the PAC as well as to many others at the MCCSSS. Just as many great leaders in history, though they may be gone, they are still there in the minds of everyone else. “The numbers of the people she’s helped throughout the years are outstanding,” said Johnson. “There would be times where someone would come through (the PAC) at a crossroads in their lives, and she’d reach out and help them on the right path. She was more than an admin worker. She was a true friend.”

usic is an expression of feelings too great to be described with
words. It can simultaneously be bold, exhilarating, romantic and powerful. The North Carolina Symphony, with director Grant Llewellyn and special guest vocalist, Rhiannon Giddens Laffan, masterfully created a culture of emotions and transported its audience around the world during a concert at Riverwalk Crossing Park in Jacksonville, N.C., Sunday. “It’s a tremendous opportunity,” said Gene Taliaferro-Jones, conductor of Onslow Winds, the community orchestra. “A lot of people in the community take advantage of it. It’s the first time many of them have heard a symphony.” Llewellyn and his talented Photos by Amy Binkley

instrumentalists invited hundreds of guests to join them in their musical voyage, entitled “Around the World in 80 Minutes.” Playing select pieces from composers such as Jacques Offenbach to Richard Rogers, the symphony swept the audience up in the magical summer evening. “It’s important for the community to come for a cultural, educational and enjoyable experience,” said Rick Allen, event director for Bettering Our Local Downtown. “It’s a rare treat.” While the musicians’ smooth sound set the atmosphere, it was the vocal gymnastics of Laffan that wowed the spectators. Laffon, lead singer for the Grammy Award-winning band The Carolina Chocolate Drops, lent her voice to several songs in the program, from Broadway to romantic French pieces. “The energy of live music is so important for people,” she said.

‘Bridesmaids’ nurse ‘Hangover’ with laughter Now playing in Jacksonville “BRIDESMAIDS” (R) “Bridesmaids” is a romantic comedy about the experience of a maid of honor. The story centers on two best friends and the pre-wedding events. Kristen Wiig (“BackUp Plan,” “Paul”) stars as Annie, a simple midwestern, forever single girl with very low self-esteem, whose life is a mess. Maya Rudolph (“MacGruber,” “Away We Go”) stars as Lillian, the blushing bride-to-be, who upon her engagement, asks Annie, her best friend since childhood, to be her maid of honor. When Annie is asked, she is happy to accept the honor until she finds out what the duties of a maid of honor entail. Lovelorn and broke, Annie bluffs her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals with an oddball group of bridesmaids. Though Annie struggles as she tries to please the snobby rich bridesmaids at pre-wedding events, she will show Lillian and her bridesmaids just how far she is willing to go for someone you love. Annie takes them all on a wild ride down the road to matrimony and all hell breaks loose when they travel to Las Vegas for a party neither one will ever forget. The colorful bridesmaids are portrayed by Rose Byrne (“Knowing,” “Get Him to the Greek”)
as Helen, the uppity, perfect, new friend of the bride; Melissa McCarthy (“The Back-Up Plan”) as Megan, Lillian’s future sister-in-law and wild card of the bunch; Ellie Kemper (“Get Him to the Greek”) as Becca, the innocent one; and Wendy McLendon-Covey (“Bewitched”) as Rita, the real mother of three. Also on hand are Matt Lucas (“Alice in Wonderland”) as Steve; Chris O’Dowd (“Pirate Radio”) as Officer Rhodes; and Jon Hamm (“The Town”) as Ted, Annie’s friend with benefits. Jill Clayburgh (“Love and Other Drugs”) can be seen as Annie’s mom in her final film appearance; she died in November 2010 before the movie was released. Paul Feig (“Unaccompanied Minors,” “I Am David”) directed this farce which was produced by Judd Apatow Productions (“Superbad,” “KnockedUp,” “40-Year-Old Virgin”) and co-written by Wiig. “Bridesmaids” is billed as the female version of the hilarious bachelor party portrayed in “The Hangover”; however, it is very different in many aspects. “Bridesmaids” is equally raunchy and hilarious, but it is also smart, down-to-earth and has real heart. “THE HANGOVER 2” (R) “The Hangover 2” is the follow-up to the 2009 hit comedy “The Hangover.”

Reprising their roles of the tight-knit wolfpack are: Bradley Cooper (“Limitless”) as the hunky school teacher Phil Wenneck; Ed Helms (“SemiPro”) as the mild-mannered dentist, Dr. Stuart ‘Stu’ Price; Zach Galifianakis (“Due Date”) as the eccentric misfit Alan Garner; and Justin Bartha (“New York, I Love You”) as Doug Billings.

T
here really is no place like home. However, when tornadoes ripped through Onslow County, including Tarawa Terrace, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, two months ago, many residents were left without a home to go to. For some, the damage was inconvenient, but for others, it was lifeshattering. Long-time friends Alva Williams and Shirlene Kellum refused to sit and do nothing while their fellow citizens suffered. They threw around ideas for fundraisers and decided on something simple. “We were just going to cook barbecue dinners in someone’s backyard, but once people heard what we were doing, it took off,” said Kellum. Good ideas spread quickly in a small town, and before either woman knew it, Operation B4 was born. In no time at all, a full-fledged fundraiser was organized, complete with firemen, funnel cakes and face painting.
“Operation B4 is Onslow County residents coming together to rebuild,” said Williams. “Some of these people lost everything, but we take care of our own.” The play on words serves as a reminder and goal to get the county back to and better than it was before the storm hit. Hundreds of local citizens gathered to raise money for the tornado victims at the American Legion Building in Jacksonville, N.C., Saturday. The money raised will stay in Onslow County, and an account will stay open in case of any future events. More than 100 sponsors, including restaurants, doctors, lawyers and many other businesses, joined forces to donate time, money and supplies for the event. “We haven’t had to spend a dime of our money,” said Kellum. “Everything was donated, from the food to the forks.” All aspects of Onslow County were represented, including many Marines from Logistics Operations School, Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools, at Camp Johnson who volunteered to assist
however they could. “It wasn’t just civilians, but our fellow Marines and sailors (who were affected),” said Pfc. Joseph Alston. “We have each other’s backs. This is our home now too.” Pfc. Dylan Liddick has the same loyalty mindset. “The Marine Corps is a brotherhood so we’ll help our brothers,” he said. “It’s our job.” While the military presence was strong under the leadership of retired Sgt. Maj. Joseph Houle, visitors and supporters quickly realized it was a joint effort of many people with a common goal of making Onslow County better than it was before the disaster. “The community was already wonderful before this event,” said Houle. “It’s a great idea and we need to do all we can.” Soon, the nation will see how the local citizens have picked up the pieces and carried each others’ burdens.

For the third year in a row, the brunch gave children and their fathers a chance to spend quality time with one another.

O
n a Saturday morning, most children would be tugging on their mother’s pant leg telling them it’s time for breakfast. However, June 4, the Harriotte B. Smith Library and the Tarawa Terrace Community Center provided an opportunity for fathers and their children to attend the annual Father’s Day Brunch held at the community center aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area. The first observance of Father’s Day actually took place in Fairmont, W.Va., July 5, 1908. It was organized by Mrs. Grace Golden Clayton, who wanted to celebrate the lives of the 210 fathers who had been lost in the Monongah Mining disaster. Since then, people have found their

own ways and traditions to honor fathers every year, to celebrate fatherhood and paternal bonds. For the third year in a row, the Father’s Day Brunch gave children and their fathers a chance to spend quality time with one another. The brunch was one way to honor fathers for the roles they play in the world. “We do this not only to thank them for being great dads, but also because they are in the military and serving their country,” said Jana Guitar, program supervisor
for the Harriotte B. Smith Library. Attendants lined up, some with armfuls of children, and filled their plates two or even three times with hearty breakfast food which included eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and assorted pastries. “They are so appreciative and surprised that we provide them with this big meal and a chance to play with their kids,” said Judy Bradford, director of the Harriotte B. Smith Library. While fathers enjoyed their meal, sat around, relaxed and socialized, every
child had a smile on their face as they made friends and chased each other from one end of the room to the other. After demolishing the food provided, attendants were invited to take part in creating arts and crafts to take home. The community center provided picture frames, coloring pages, crayons and stickers, most of which ended up on faces and hands rather than the art project itself. While some mothers tagged along for the festivities, the brunch was not only geared toward thanking fathers, but also giving mothers a break from their normal routine. “It gives moms a day to themselves,” said Bradford. “They can stay in bed an extra couple hours, soak in the tub or go get their nails done.” Overall, the Father’s Day event continued on the tradition of showing fathers the appreciation and gratitude they deserve.

Cpl. Richard Sherin, a casualty cell clerk with II Marine Expeditionary Force, tries on a pregnancy vest during Baby Boot Camp, May 24 at the Midway Park Marine and Family Services Annex aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Sherin tried on the vest to get a feel for what his expecting wife is dealing with as her body adjusts to make room for the baby.

t’s a familiar scene – someone has a new child and asks an unsuspecting friend if he would like to hold their little one. Not to be rude, he graciously takes the infant. Unsure of what to do, he places his hands under the baby’s arms and holds the child directly in front of him. With a smiling tot now drooling in his face, he asks himself, “Now what?” Thanks to resources like the New Parent Support Program, Marine Corps Community Services’ employees are offering courses like Baby Boot Camp for expecting military families. The course is designed to take the “Now what?” out of the equation. “It gives moms and dads the proper tools to make a smooth transition into parenthood,” said Gena Hill, a certified social worker with the NPSP. Marines and spouses from 2nd Marine Division attended the most recent Baby Boot Camp at the Midway Park Marine and Family Services Annex, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, May 24. “The main purpose of the class is that it helps new parents prepare to take care of the baby once they leave the hospital,” Hill explained. “Then we go further into detail about what to expect through their baby’s first six months of (life).”
With baby replicas in hand, the expecting families spent two days learning about parenting techniques through hands-on workshops, lectures and movies. Instructors covered a multitude of topics ranging from brain development and bathing to diapering and feeding. “We like to focus mainly on infant care, a lot of safety information, safe sleep practices, proper infant nutrition and how to handle a crying baby,” said Hill. Cpl. Richard Sherin, a casualty cell clerk with II Marine Expeditionary Force, attended the class with his expecting wife. He said that, although he grew up surrounded by nieces and nephews, the class was beneficial. Sherin was put on the spot before the class began. One of the class instructors pulled out an infant bathtub and had him demonstrate how to properly bathe a newborn. At the time, he was the only male present and was surrounded by a room full of pregnant women. In typical Marine Corps fashion, Sherin gracefully accepted the challenge. “This is probably a lot harder when they’re moving around and crying,” said Sherin as he put clothes back on the dummy. “You don’t want to hurt them.” After successfully completing the bathing, diapering and clothing

exercises, Sherin received a round of applause from the classroom and a kiss from his wife. “Everyone that comes out ends up really enjoying the whole experience and learns a lot,” said Hill. “People absolutely love this class.” Classes are free to anyone with a
Department of Defense identification card and are scheduled two to three times a month. For more information call 449-9501 or visit the Midway Park Marine and Family Services Annex, Building LC 4012B.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. SYMPHONY FROM 1D “You have to hear the vibes of 60 people under one leader all working together to understand it.” Many Marines and their families who were in the audience could relate to the cohesiveness of the conductor, instrumentalists and vocalists. “The military understands that dynamic,” Laffan noted. “They do what they do to protect the country while the musicians entertain it.” Llewellyn, who was well aware of the military presence in the crowd, also felt it was a program service members would appreciate. “Our military audience has a global reach,” he said. “From a geographical point of view, it’s a treat to hear how varied the music of the world is. It speaks to us differently.” During Offenbach’s “Baracolle” from “The Tales of Hoffman,” Llewellyn encouraged the crowd to imagine themselves riding a gondola down a Venician canal. He then cast them aboard a ship on the high seas with Reinhold Glière’s Russian Sailor Dance from the ballet, “The Red Poppy.” Onslow County went
from Bollywood to Hollywood after an Indian arrangement sent them packing to the shores of Roger’s Broadway hit “South Pacific.” “It’s absurd to think Americans can only listen to American music or that the Welsh can only listen to Welsh music,” Llewellyn remarked. While the audience appreciated the trip, they were happy to come home to the familiar tunes of Glenn Miller, cheering, clapping and dancing to the beats. Entertainment wasn’t the only thing on the performer’s minds, however. The N.C. Symphony has partnered with the American Red Cross over the past several weeks, playing free concerts throughout the state. The April tornadoes that plowed through Onslow County put the community in the spotlight, and several organizations, including the symphony, are participating in helping get people back to life as normal. Cherie Bedford, crisis counselor assistant with Federal Emergency Management Agency, was on hand to inform the community of the free service
being offered to those who were directly or indirectly affected by the storms. “As soon as I heard (the symphony was) coming, I got in contact with them,” she said. “They are bigger than a lot of organizations and can get the word out.” The crisis counseling program is linking victims to appropriate services in town free of charge. “We’re making ourselves available,” Bedford explained. “We will go to them.” Music heals and soothes the savage beast of suffering, even if only for a few moments. Llewellyn, Laffan and the instrumentalists were happy to provide the crowd a break from reality. For their final and encore number, they said farewell with a rendition of the classic hymn, “I’ll Fly Away.” Several people in the audience sang along and gave the evening’s entertainment a rousing standing ovation. “I hope this program showed the universal beauty and how it speaks to all of us here at home,” Llewellyn said. For more information on the crisis counseling, call 1-866-451-7760.
OPERATION FROM 3D as they dished out the barbecue plates that were sold at the door. Goodson didn’t escape the fear of the storms. He found himself and his family in the same unknown state as many other citizens when he learned his grandson was at Tarawa Terrace when the tornado hit. “It was a big sigh of relief when we got him back,” he said. “But when we saw the devastation of everyone else, I actually felt guilty.” Goodson’s group wanted to help, but the quick action of the American Red Cross and other volunteer organizations left little to do at the time. When Operation B4 came to his attention, he jumped on the opportunity to lend a hand. “It’s sad that it takes a disaster like this to make people realize we need each other,” Goodson noted. “The more we help each other, the better our lives will be.” Entertainers from around the area, including the Carousels and the Conductors, also wanted to take part in the event and volunteered their time and talent to help raise money. “We like to support our community,
and this is the way we can do it,” said Elton Sandridge, who sings with the New River Harmony Barbershop Chorus. Don Neff worked as the emcee for the event and successfully auctioned off many items such as cakes and T-shirts for high prices. For him, Operation B4 represents what America is all about. “It’s a love thing,” he said. “It’s a way for us to show our love for our family, friends and neighbors and rebuild the community.” Singer Jane Sutton, who inspired the crowd with her soulful sound, showed her appreciation to everyone who came out to support the event. “Thank you for giving from your hearts today,” she said. “Folks like you are what makes the world a wonderful place.” Kellum and Williams couldn’t agree more. Bound together by friendship and a love for their community, their efforts, along with all of the volunteers and sponsors, raised more than $20,000 for the tornado victims and have paved another portion of their road to recovery.

acey Greenlee has spent a lot of time at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune—as a patient. Being a part of the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune community since kindergarten, she has broken her arm falling off her bike and has broken her right foot twice. Most people dislike going to the hospital, but hopefully a recent donation by Greenlee will bring smiles to patients in the pediatric ward. The sophomore at Lejeune High School donated a replica of the Winnie the Pooh character, Tigger, made out of ceramic clay, rather than rubber and springs, to hospital personnel for placement in the pediatric ward. There, she hopes, Tigger will do what he does best, not by bouncing, but by making children smile. “I’m very accident prone,” she said. “I’m

She received inspiration from multiple sources, including her own love for Winnie the Pooh, her father’s impersonations of Tigger when she was younger and her nephew’s fondness of the character. Greenlee’s Tigger looks like it may have bounced, trounced, flounced or pounced one too many times. The artwork has a cast and ice pack on its right leg and is holding a sign that reads, “Bicycle safety rules,” personal touches to the work that represent Greenlee herself. The roughly two-foot tall Tigger took nearly the entire school year to
complete. Greenlee had to restart Tigger twice because the base was not sturdy enough to support the rest of the structure. She was not deterred and finished mid-May. “I hope when they see it, they’ll smile and not be so scared if something is wrong,” she said.” It turned out really well, especially since it’s my first time doing anything with clay. It was hard, but worth it.” Janet Garn, the assistant principal at Lejeune High School, said she believes Tigger will be a hit with the children in the pediatric ward. “It’s difficult taking kids to the hospital, and hopefully Tigger will be
able to comfort or at least distract them,” said Garn. The hospital was glad to receive Greenlee’s generous gift. “It’s artistic, creative and relevant, because we have to think safety, safety, safety all the time,” said Cmdr. Julie Green, Director for Medical Services at NHCL. “We’re very pleased to have him displayed in the ward. It’s generous beyond her years and thoughtful.” Although Greenlee enjoys art, especially drawing, she thinks of it as a hobby and does not foresee a career in it for herself. Her possible higher calling is teaching kindergarten or first grade.
It’s the start of another hurricane season. I love this time of overly-hyped storm predictions, tales of impending widespread destruction, hurricane preparedness briefs, evacuation plans and the chance to go buy more flashlights, batteries, generators and enough lumber to build an entire protective shell around the house. Don’t forget the emergency rations, and the other incidental supplies you and your family will need to survive a storm of any size or duration. The truth of the matter is, many people don’t prepare for storms and will be fortunate if they have a few days warning to hastily gather supplies and hope for the best. In the worst cases, like tornadoes, the storms come without warning and with breathtaking violence. I’ve found that most people will only prepare for a disaster if there is an urgency to take action. When the skies are clear and everything seems just peachy, there is no need to make provision. “Why should I?” is the confident response, “They always say we’re going to get hit, but we never do.” Well, that might be true about weather predictions, but not so with the storms of life. They will come, we just don’t know when. Life’s storms — fracturing relationships, unexpected illnesses, financial hardship, death — often times come with little or no warning. The sad thing about watching people go through their various storms is how unprepared they are to face even the slightest breezes of bereavement, let alone the gales of gut-wrenching grief. Why do we think that we can face the storms of life with no preparation, yet insist we need to prepare for the possibility that a hurricane of any size will slam our coast? As a warning to prepare your life, your marriage, or your family for the storms that will come, consider this storm advisory: “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). Friends, the storm is coming ashore. Are you ready? If not, do you realize that you need help getting your life in order before a storm destroys it? You are hereby directed to find the nearest chapel or church to begin strengthening what has weakened over time. May God bless you all as you seek to find shelter in him and him alone.
