Never forgotten: 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment remembers fallen brother CPL. TIMOTHY LENZO
Regional Command Southwest
It was a day of somber remembrance for service members with 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 7, as they attended a memorial service for Lance Cpl. Anthony Denier Dec. 8 at Combat Outpost Hanson, Afghanistan. In front of a formation of Marines and sailors stood a battlefield cross, which consisted of an upside down rifle with a bayonet, a Kevlar helmet, a pair of boots and identification tags. All assembled to honor their fallen brother who died while conducting combat operations in Marjah, Afghanistan, Dec. 2. “(Denier) will be missed, but surely never forgotten because we will at all times hold him, as well as his family, in our hearts,” said Lt. Col. Carl Cooper Jr., commanding officer, 3rd Bn., 9th Marines. Denier’s company commander, platoon sergeant and his peers reflected on their time spent with the rifleman. “He left us as he lived, protecting who he loved and putting their welfare before his own,” said Capt. James M. Geiger Jr., company commanding officer. “I’m incredibly proud to have served with Lance Cpl. Denier, and I thank him for his courage and commitment to his brothers. To his family, we vow to always honor his memory and to always be there for you as members of our Marine family.” Marines stood sharply at parade rest when 1st Lt. Kevin Murphy, Denier’s platoon commander, approached the podium to address the formation.
“There is no doubt Anthony’s actions saved the lives of many Marines to his left and his right,” said Murphy. “I witnessed young men, in their prime, sacrificing everything for each other and with each other. I witnessed courage like this, time and time again throughout the firefight. I am very proud of Anthony and his actions, for I know it is because of his sacrifice the rest of us came home.” Denier’s team leader, Lance Cpl. Robert Johnson, talked about his experiences and told stories about Denier and some of the things he will remember about him. Photo by Cpl.

Understanding Medicare benefits The 2012 open enrollment for Medicare closed Dec. 7. For those who did not make a change in coverage between Oct. 1 and Dec. 7, their program remains the same. Medicare is essential to obtaining TRICARE for Life for those more than 65 years old or who were determined to be completely disabled for two years. Medicare has three distinct sections – Part A is insurance to cover hospital bills, Part B covers doctor bills and many outpatient services, and Part D is a pharmacy benefit. To obtain TFL, a retiree must have Medicare Part A and B. Medicare Part D is not required or recommended for military retirees. Each Medicare Part is unique, provides various levels of coverage and has a deductible the patient is required to pay. The cost for Medicare Part B per month for an individual is $110. If a retiree’s annual income is above $85,000, it is $115. Medicare Part A is free for members who earned 40 credits or more while
paying Medicare taxes prior to retirement. Keeping an eye on Medicare costs is recommended as they are predicted to reach $247 a month in 2014. Not all doctors in the civilian community accept Medicare patients, mostly due to the low payments for services provided versus the paperwork required to be submitted for payment. Doctors are not required by law to see Medicare patients and retirees may have to shop around for a doctor who will accept Medicare. Military retirees, however, are in a more favorable situation as Medicare is billed as a primary payer and TRICARE acts as a secondary payer. There normally aren’t any out-ofpocket costs for care under TFL. In the local area, TFL gives retirees the freedom to choose a provider, level and sources of care. All hospitals accept Medicare Part A. However, the payout is lower for certain examinations and
tests, it requires a lot of paperwork to submit, and payment is often slow, but the government guarantees payment. The certainty payment and an aging society forces hospitals to be reliant on the high volume of Medicare patients. A question often posed to the staff at the Retired Affairs Office concerns obtaining and carrying a Medicare Supplement. It’s never recommended for military retirees. They would pay in between $250 and $450 a month for something unnecessary as long as they have TRICARE available. The only exception in the case of retiree family members is if a surviving spouse remarries a civilian and forgoes the benefits of an identification card. In such cases, it’s encouraged for those individuals to make an appointment with a benefits expert to discuss the connection between TRICARE For Life and Medicare before they are forced to make the necessary decision.

Do you think commanders should be able to courts martial a service member for “self injury” after a failed suicide attempt or would it further prevent those who need help from seeking it? A courts martial would deter them from getting the help they need and so much more. Lori Bryan Peoria
No. Zachery Copulos
Punish them for malingering. There’s no need to create another rule specifically for suicide. Ben Harris
This would prevent those looking for help from getting it. Jakob Brown
Mariines are there to defend our country and their brothers. If they are trying to com mmit suicide they should not be able to stay in their current position. The comman nders should be able to courts marrshal them as needed. Rachael Mallia Dominguez
It should be an option available to commanders. If a suicide attempt is a result of mental illness, depression, etc., then the Marine needs medical help. If a suicide attempt is a means for a Marine to dodge command discipline or punishment, then courts martial may be appropriate. Not every person who attempts suicide means to actually kill himself. This is a case-by-case situation.

Sandy relief efforts bolstered by Marine charity CPL. PAUL PETERSON 2nd Marine Logistics Group
Their homes here remained largely unaffected by the hurricane as it glanced off the North Carolina coast, but the Marines of 2nd Maintenance Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group knew the residents to the north needed assistance. Master Sgt. Perry A. Sikes, a calibrations chief with the battalion’s Electronics Maintenance Company, jumped on the chance to help out and prepared to head toward New Jersey in early November. Little did he know, the unit’s junior Marines were hot on his heels. Sikes and other members of the Crystal Coast, N.C., chapter of Sheep Dog Impact Assistance, a nonprofit organization of volunteer military and public safety personnel dedicated to aiding communities, and fellow military and emergency first responders impacted by disasters, were in the midst of launching their own relief effort when Sikes’ phone rang. Without the knowledge of the battalion’s senior leadership, the unit’s non-commissioned officers spread word of Sikes’ mission and collected money to support his operation. They fabricated a reason to recall the master sergeant during their “One Bullet Away” Day, which was when the NCOs took command of the battalion for a day. Sikes remained completely in the dark until he came
face to face with a formation, mustered in his honor, and a money-stuffed envelope destined for the hurricane’s victims. “I was completely taken back by it and impressed they took it upon themselves to do,” said Sikes. “Obviously it was their own willingness and kindheartedness to raise as much money as they did, regardless of who started the snowball downhill.” The unit raised more than $800 in a matter of hours. “Just seeing the envelope stuffed with everything from ones to twenties, it kind of raised the hair on the back of my neck,” said Sikes. “I’ll be quite honest, I was pretty blown away.” The Marines added several hundred more dollars to the collection after the formation as they reached into their pockets and handed Sikes the cash in person. More than a dozen SDIA team members added the cash to their convoy of supplies and headed to the damaged areas beyond. The group of professionally trained military and emergency-response personnel set out on a four-day mission to deliver supplies and lend assistance to those in need. “There is going to be an overwhelming need for people with (our) skill sets,” said Sikes, who joined the Crystal Coast chapter soon after its formation in April 2012. “We were able to go, find a hole in the balloon and put a Band-Aid on it.” The devastation they encountered was extensive. “When you were driving

The team set straight to work providing assistance on their first night. They stopped by the home of a wheelchair-bound service member, who joined the small task force at its makeshift base of operations in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J. Local police and volunteer first responders aided the team along the way as they visited a succession of other
individuals caught in the path of the storm. They then delivered their much-needed trailers of supplies to various aid stations and began working hand-inhand with area residents to clear debris. The crew of relief workers came across an elderly couple who spent days attempting to clear their home, foot by agonizing foot. “When we saw them, we stopped our vehicles and asked, ‘Can we help you?’” recalled Sikes. “What they did in days, our group was able to finish the entire house in two hours.” The group even took a few moments to bring some much needed holiday cheer to the area. Sikes and his team passed out a small stash of candy along
with cold-weather supplies as they visited families who completely missed out on Halloween trick-or-treating when the storm struck. “His face just (lit up) like we were Santa Claus,” said Sikes, recounting the response of one little boy they visited. “It was heartwarming to be able to bring a smile to a kid’s face.” They handed out everything from water and blankets to nonperishable foods and gas cans, which were almost impossible to find as far south as Virginia. “Any area hit by something like this would be devastated,” noted Sikes. “After coming out of it, you are just grateful. You feel bad any area had to endure it, but you are just grateful you didn’t have to.”
“I TOOK
The battalion’s generous cash donations helped breach an even more urgent need in the beleaguered communities, which were already receiving stores of supplies from other good Samaritans. “We found when we got there the most affected area was being inundated with food, water and other supplies,” said Sikes. “What was really needed was to get the emergency services back up and running.” Many of the volunteer fire departments lost nearly everything in the hurricane’s wake. The team chose to place much of the unit’s cash directly into the hands of the local volunteers, where it could keep helping the area long after they left.

District officials, PRT discuss improvements in Musa Qal'ah CPL. MARK GARCIA Regional Command Southwest

Village elders enjoy a traditional Afghan meal after meeting with local Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan officials to assess governance, security and stability in the area, Nov. 29. During recent years, Musa Qal’ah has undergone drastic changes in an effort to better the lives of the Afghan people.
Members of the Helmand Provincial Reconstruction Team met with Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan officials and local village elders in an effort to assess governance, security and stability in Musa Qal’ah, Afghanistan, Nov. 29. During recent years, Musa Qal’ah underwent drastic changes in an effort to better the lives of the Afghan people. The meeting was designed to continue the improvements in the area and to help build upon them as coalition forces withdraw and authority and responsibilities shift to the Afghans. “Our mission is to facilitate transition to the Afghan government, and it’s important in our role to support them, see how they’re doing, and where we might be able to help provide advice to the Afghan government on how
to better deliver services to the people,” said Matt Duncan, a political officer with the Helmand PRT. “Musa Qal’ah is light-years ahead of where it was two years ago, and it’s thanks to the work done by the Marines and the Afghan National Security Forces, as well as the Afghan government.” Staff Sgt. Ben Lund, civil affairs with Regimental Combat Team 7, noted the increased security presence in the area and how the ANSF continue to provide stability to the region. “Security wise, Musa Qal’ah has probably come twofold. Its security progressed 100 percent,” said Lund. “The (Afghan Uniform Police) and (Afghan National Army) operate by themselves with little-to-no assistance. There are fewer (improvised explosive devices), and the ANA and AUP are finding those IEDS and neutralizing them. They’ll call Marine Corps (explosive ordnance disposal) every once in a while if they need to get rid of some-
thing, but for the most part, they handle it on their own. They’re patrolling by themselves, they’re arresting people, and they had a huge drug bust just last week. They processed everything and took it to Lashkar Gah by themselves.” Because of the work done by Marines, ANSF, the PRT and local government officials, the future of Musa Qal’ah looks promising. “We were able to talk about the thriving bazaar,” Duncan said. “There are 900 shops in it, and people from all across northern Helmand come to it to buy goods. The economy in Musa Qal’ah is thriving at the moment. People can now move with relative freedom from the district to Lashkar Gah, the provincial capital. They use the bazaar and the Taliban is gone from the district center.” The meeting also marked another milestone by allowing village elders the opportunity to talk with GIRoA officals. “The PRT came down
to talk to the acting district governor because he is able to talk to the elders in Musa Qal’ah,” Lund said. “It’s the first time (village elders) came and talked to GIRoA officials. We’re trying to get the elders to bring their face forward and support GIRoA. Once the village elders put some people in key positions, hopefully they can get additional money to the area and increase development, increase security and hopefully find an alternate crop to poppy.” Until coalition forces completely withdraw from Afghanistan, they will ensure development continues in areas such as Musa Qal’ah. “Musa Qal’ah, from where it was just a few years ago, is a good story,” Duncan said. “You used to not be able to walk out of the (forward operating base) without getting shot at, and nobody would be in the bazaar. The bazaar is thriving now, kids are going to school and a lot of progress has been made here.”

215th Maiwand Corps conduct clearing operation LT. COL. STEWART UPTON Regional Command Southwest
Elements of three Kandaks belonging to the Afghanistan National Army’s 1st Brigade of the 215th Maiwand Corps conducted clearing operations in the Trek Nawa area of Helmand province Nov. 18 through 24. The clearing operation highlights the 215th Corps’ ability to deploy Kandaks as part of an operation and sustain them logistically for a week. The Brigade coordinated layered security operations with other elements of the Afghan security forces through a command operations coordination center established in the Trek Nawa area as part of
this clearing operation. The Kandaks scheme of maneuver and ‘calls for fire’ were coordinated through the COCC. “The clearing operation was primarily successful because the ANA planned, briefed, coordinated and then executed the operation. A debrief along with an after action report was also provided to the 215th Corps leadership,” said Lt. Col. Philip Treglia, Security Force Assistant Advisor Team officer in charge for 1st Brigade of the 215th Corps ANA. “Adviser support was available, but since the ANA evacuated their own casualties, and destroyed the enemy with (grenade launchers) and mortars, ISAF support was not requested,” Treglia added.

Marines push forward in Afghanistan Teufelhunden complete final field
CPL. MARK GARCIA Regional Command Southwest
T
he phrase “The Few, The Proud” has been associated with Marines for years, but for one infantry company the words have a deeper meaning. Marines with Company F, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 7, are currently deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. For them, it is an opportunity to build upon the illustrious traditions associated with their company. “There were a lot of Marines throughout history, but there’s only been a select few who had the opportunity to say they were a part of Company F, 2nd Bn., 7th Marines,” said 1st Sgt. Christopher Griffith, the company first sergeant. “To me, it’s why it is so important for the men in this company to have such a fond respect for those who came before us.” For Capt. Thomas Harris, the company commander, the feeling of being a part of Fox is humbling. “The battalion, as well as the company, has a pretty impressive battle history,” said Harris. “They always did great things in hard places. So it’s eye-opening to have to be responsible for not only the Marines and sailors of the current company, but also the heritage and legacy of past company Marines.” In the Korean War, Co. F would cement its legacy in the history books with one battle in particular, The Battle of Fox Hill. The intense fight lasted from Nov. 28 through
Dec. 2, 1950. Because of the frigid temperatures, Marines’ weapons would malfunction and grenades would freeze, so the Marines had to rely on handto-hand combat. During the battle, 250 men endured -30 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures, holding their position against an entire regiment of enemy forces and eventually pushing them back. When the final shots of the battle were fired, only 85 men in the company were able to walk off the battlefield on their feet, the rest were wounded, captured or killed in action. During The Battle of Fox Hill, two men would be awarded the Medal of Honor. The company’s sacrifices would also be recognized in the book “The Last Stand of Fox Company,” a book Griffith refers to as his bible. The Marines would again add to their legacy during the Korean War with three more Marines receiving the Medal of Honor. To pay tribute to the Marines who came before them, Griffith keeps a company guidon created by a former Marine and Korean War veteran in his office. Displayed on the guidon are six informative plates honoring former Marines. Five plates are for Marines who went above and beyond the call of duty and received the Medal of Honor during the Korean War from 1950 to 1953, and one for the creator of the guidon. For the past two years, the guidon traveled with the company wherever it went. Between California, Okinawa, Australia, the Philippines and Afghanistan, the guidon was with them the entire way. “The guidon is more than a piece of material, it’s a symbol. It’s a symbol
of unit pride,” Griffith said. “It’s the pinnacle of my career to be able to be the first sergeant for Company F, 2nd Bn., 7th Marines.” Harris reinforced what Griffith said and noted the sacrifice made by the Marines whose names were displayed on the guidon. “The guidon adds even more to the weight of the responsibility of this company,” Harris said. “It’s a solemn reminder for all of us of the good deeds done by good Marines.” For junior Marines in Co. F, the feeling of pride and honor is mutual. “It’s an honor to be a part of Co. F, honestly,” said Lance Cpl. Miguel Davila, machine gunner with the company. “The history and traditions go back pretty far, and then to also be a part of 1st Marine Division and what they did throughout history is pretty cool. I get pride out of being part of Fox, 2nd Bn., 7th Marines.” On their current deployment, the company took a step back and allowed the Afghan National Security Forces operating in the area the chance to reclaim their country’s security. It is a mission that will only help solidify the company’s legacy. “We have a unique mission,” Harris said. “It’s absolutely different than the mission battalions faced in previous engagements throughout history. This will still add to our legacy. We still have the opportunity to go forward and execute the mission asked of us by the nation.” While deployed, Co. F will continue to maintain security and allow the ANSF to operate independently ensuring they receive any assistance required.
exercise before deployment
SGT. STEVE CUSHMAN 2nd Marine Division
A company of Marines with faces camouflaged wait tensely for their helicopters to land. With a bump, the choppers touchdown and the Marines rush out into a freshly mowed field of grass. As the helicopter-borne Marines set up security at one end of the field, the second company of Marines, delivered to the landing zone in amphibious assault vehicles, secured the other side of the field, which was to become the base of operations for 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment during their final field exercise prior to deployment. “This is our last major exercise before our deployment,” said Lt. Col. James Ryans, the battalion commander. “We have now been trained or exposed to all the required elements for deployment.” The scenario the Marines were playing out consisted of a notional call from an ambassador to reinforce an embassy in an increasingly hostile environment. Their tasks included securing a beach landing area and main route to the embassy. “As the scenario escalated, the ‘ambassador’ called for all Americans to be
evacuated,” said Capt. Matthew Bronson, the 3rd Bn., 6th Marines’ operations officer. The tactical scenario created for this field exercise was designed to strain and exercise all facets of 3rd Bn., 6th Marines’ organic assets. Contracted role players acting as local nationals and Marines from 1st Bn., 8th Marines, playing enemy forces brought a sense of realism to the training. “We’ve received a lot of positive feedback from the Marines,” said Benson. “They’re being given realistic missions and fighting against a real opposing force, which is able to adjust and force the Marines to adjust what they are doing.” The battalion commander echoed the sentiment, stating “Many people think the apex of training is live-fire ranges, but [it’s] going against a living, breathing force. Fighting against someone who can choose to do or not do something, forcing you to make tactical adjustments.” “We’re operating against a living, breathing [opposing force], this is the first time some of my Marines have been exposed to this type of training,” said Ryans. He concluded by saying his Marines “have done well.”

Military families run for children in need JESSIE HEATH Sports editor
S
ometimes all it takes is one word of encouragement to spark a world-wide phenomenon. When retired Marine Col. Bill Hendricks’ wife, Diane, made a doll and asked her husband to give it to an organization that gave toys to needy children in 1947 she was shocked to learn no such agency existed and told her husband he should start one. He did. Working with Marine reservists in Los Angeles, Hendricks collected and donated more than 5,000 toys to children living in poverty in 1947. The pilot program was such a success the Marine Corps adopted it in 1948, making it a nationally recognized charitable organization. Since then, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots
program spent more than 60 years dedicating themselves to the happiness of families during the holidays. With more than 452 million toys distributed to more than 200 million needy children, those involved in Toys for Tots hold the key to lighting up the faces of less-fortunate families each Christmas season. For the Marines, sailors and families of AITB – East of Camp Geiger, the choice to be responsible for the happiness of needy children was an easy decision to make. Participating in their third annual Toys for Tots family fun run, AITBEast families gathered aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River to donate their time and toys Thursday.

Trout tagging project shows spawning grounds
It is no longer a surprise for anglers to hear about the abundance of trout in the waters along coastal North Carolina. In recent years extreme cold fronts killed trout, and those who survived were over-fished. This year the excessive trout brimming at the mouths of waterways and creeks overwhelmed anglers with happiness and excitement. Of course, there were multiple reasons for poor trout seasons in the past, and there are multiple reasons for a strong trout season this year. While nature ran its course earlier this year, providing trout with perfect water temperatures and settings for a strong spawning season, man should also be thanked for his participation in providing such a strong season. Dr. Louis Daniel, director of the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, invoked tighter regulations to prevent the over fishing of trout. These regulations lowered the recreational bag limit to four fish per day and increased the minimum size of the fish to 14 inches. Limitations to the commercial catching were
also instituted. The 14–inch minimum was put in place after a study on reproductive biology, giving the trout at least one successful spawning season before they can be kept recreationally or commercially. Better management and regulations of trout and other species of fish require strong data on growth, range, habitat, natural mortality, reproductive biology and other factors in a species’ life cycles. Over the past four years, Dr. Jeff Buckel and graduate student Tim Ellis, North Carolina State University, operated out of the NCSU Center for Marine Science and Technology facility in Morehead City and undertook a comprehensive tagging study for the spotted sea trout to get biologic information. During this study nearly 6,600 fish were tagged. Since tagging began, more than 500 fish returned to their spawning grounds. This excellent return rate of 7.4 percent debunked the common myth all trout return to their spawning grounds year after year. Although a few fish were caught close to their original tagging site, many fish ventured hundreds of miles to spawn. Many fish tagged here came from the Chesapeake Bay. Although the tagging portion of the program is complete, data collection and analysis are still underway. If you catch a trout with a standard
yellow spaghetti tag or high reward red tag please cut it off and call the phone number to report your special catch. You will get a letter on the history of your fish, such as where it was tagged and its growth since release. I can’t wait to see the final report of the data and the analysis of how this improved our knowledge of the spotted sea trout and can help us manage this beautiful fish. This report will be accessible to the public and should be available by summer 2013. So how is the fishing? The surf, even the beach east of Oceanana Pier, is slow except around hard structures like the Ft. Macon jetty, which still has a few trout along with red and black drum. The same goes for the Cape Lookout Rock Jetty. Surf and pier action west of Emerald Isle is pretty dead, and if you are bottom fishing, there are still some puffers, lots of dogfish and skates, but no sea mullet. There are still trout and drums in the marshes like the Haystacks, and in the creeks from Slocum and Hancock, along the Neuse River to the Bogue, and in White Oak River creeks. There are also still good catches of specks up the White Oak River from Stella Bridge, but there can be a lot of boats there. There are also some red drum and good numbers of black drum in these creeks too. I recently fished behind Bear Island and in Queens Creek across from the old Girl Scout
Camp without finding any fish. The water in the sound and many of the creeks was beautifully clear. You probably heard of the arrests for illegal gill netting in Hancock Creek near Cherry Point along the Neuse River where a father and son were taken into custody as well as their fish, boat and gear. This was possible because of a report to officials of possible suspicious activity at night in the creek. The bottom line here is if you see suspicious or suspected illegal activity, pick up your cell phone and make a call to the authorities. Finally, the offshore fishing is still going strong. Wahoo and blackfin tuna are biting from the Big Rock to the Swansboro Hole. The recent calm weather allowed anglers to leave the coastline in search of bluefin tuna and stripers, however most returned empty–handed. I will keep you up to date on the bluefin tuna and striper sightings in the area.

I’ll have a blue Christmas Combat cold-weather blues with fitness
Like many, I consider the November and December holiday season one of the best times of the year. The day after Halloween, I begin to feel the familiar itch to pull out my Christmas decorations. Usually, I can hold off until the day after Thanksgiving, but I am known to put up my Christmas tree while trick-or-treaters wait on my door step. However, I also find the holiday season a time of struggle, as my fitness regimen breaks down from a daily activity to sporadic jogs and short-lived workout attempts. My “most wonderful time of the year” typically turns into a blue Christmas as I let my personal workout time slip in exchange for holiday parties. While it would make me feel better to blame the cold weather or the constant running around to holiday gatherings across the state, I am fully aware of the real reason my workout schedule turns from a shiny gift under the tree to a lump of coal. It is me. I am to blame. I find it difficult to maintain my daily workout schedule when there
are Christmas parties, Hanukkah celebrations and a variety of other holiday gatherings to keep track of. My daily jogs disappear into neverland as visions of sugar plums begin to dance in my head. My attempts to go to the gym seem futile as parties in my hometown beckon me to visit with friends I don’t see as often as I used to. In years past, my lack of exercise left me feeling incomplete and guilty come January, when I realized I had to rebuild my workout system from scratch. This year, I decided to do something about it. I was convinced I could combat the Christmas blues. I would wake up early on warm days, take a jog before work, and have plenty of time to attend holiday gatherings in the evenings. My holiday fitness plan lasted two weeks. Then Thanksgiving hit. Out of nowhere, my system crumbled again. I think it happened sometime between the second and third Thanksgiving celebration. Regardless of where the foundation gave way, I was intent on rebuilding it. Instead of scratching my regular workout plan altogether, I decided to make minor adjustments. I would push through the cold weather and run outside. I would stick to my spring and summer schedule. I would train for the 10K I want to participate in next February. It worked. It’s worked so far. I’m currently in my third week of my
cold-weather workout, and I no longer feel like the holidays are a threat to my overall well-being. Gone are the days when I tried to reschedule my fitness regimen to better suit my holiday plans. I said goodbye to the cold–weather blues. It may sound silly, but I know there are others who struggle to keep up with their workout schedule during the holiday season. I know I’m not the only person who tried to plan my workouts around the constant festivities filling the December calendar. To those who struggle with the holiday blues, I offer this simple advice: don’t change anything this holiday season. Stick with your regularly scheduled workouts. Don’t decide to put off until tomorrow what you could do today. Your body will thank you for it. After all, the “most wonderful time of the year” is only as wonderful as you feel about it. In my experience, skipping my regularly scheduled workouts does not lead to me being “of good cheer.”

Santa Shuffle racers dash down road
Grand Prix Series ends with holiday 5K, awards ceremony JESSIE HEATH Sports editor
Without snow or a sleigh in sight, runners gathered aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Saturday morning to go dashing through the road. The Santa Shuffle 5K kicked off the end-ofyear Grand Prix festivities at the High Intensity Tactical Training Center. With runners adorned in everything from tutus to elf ears, jovial runners of every age came together to celebrate the season with exercise. Runners who participated in the year-long Grand Prix 2012 series were eager to make the Santa Shuffle count. They arrived early and walked to the start line, surveying the new race route and talking to each other as they waited for the signal to line up. When the starting command was given, runners thundered down the road, jostling for a place at the head of the pack like reindeer taking flight.
“I was excited to come finish the year with a new race,” said Jo Murphy, a teenager who took part in all the Grand Prix 2012 Series events. “The course seemed shorter at this race, which is always a good thing.” Like Murphy, most runners in attendance were focused on ending the year with the new race. While finishing was an important factor in most participants’ minds, enjoying the new race route and each other was deemed even more necessary. “This course was great, because it was a very nice run,” explained Murphy. “I like to be out in the open air to run, and this course let me enjoy nature while I took part in the race.” With an overall place of 28 and a 22 minute, five second race time, Murphy was pleased with her results. As a triathlon runner, the Grand Prix series helped her strengthen her legs and build her mental endurance for long hours
of running during triathlons. “I did the Grand Prix series all year long. Coming to this race seemed like a nice way to end the year, along with the awards ceremony,” said Murphy. While Murphy did not finish in the top three overall, she finished first in her division and was one of the first females to cross the finish line. The first place finisher and male lead, Ryan Gilmore, crossed the finish line with an impressive race time of 16:41. Gilmore completed the Santa Shuffle more than a minute ahead of the second and third place runners. Leading the females in the run was Amy Mohr, who completed the run in 19:44, nearly two minutes ahead of the second place female.

“We put everyone in groups of four to help them stay honest about their game and discourage any cheating,” said Johnson. The first six holes were scored based on best shots of each team member. Only the best score was noted on score cards during the Best Shot round of the tournament. The second portion of the tournament was the alternate shot format during which each team played off their best tee shot, alternating turns until they sank their putt. “The alternate shot score portion of the tournament came from two players who both teed off, and decided which ball to use the rest of the hole,” explained Johnson. The final portion of the Mixed Bag Tournament featured a scramble format offering players the opportunity to pick the best tee shot and hit both balls from the same spot on the greens during each turn, giving them the chance to improve their overall score. “We decided to do the Mixed Bag Tournament because our customers were anxious to see something new at the golf course,” said John Johnson, the Professional Golf Association head golf professional at

Paradise Point. “We try to run something every Saturday, whether it’s a Blitz tournament or something like this. New formats can spice things up for our customers.” With a nearly-equal mix of active-duty and retired golfers using the Paradise Point Golf Course on a regular basis, different tournaments offer service members the chance to connect with each other and spend time with those who served before them. By getting the word out through the use of Marine Corps Community Services, Johnson hoped to see new players come take part in the tournament. “We have a core group of about 40 golfers here, but by getting the word out about things we’re doing, we’re starting to see growth,” explained Johnson. “We’re trying to pull in active-duty and single Marines. We want to introduce them to the game of golf, teach them the mechanics, and get them out on the course to play with others.” Saturday’s Mixed Bag Tournament began at 8:30 a.m. and ended at 1 p.m. when the last team returned from their round of golf. While prizes were available to
winning teams, the spirit developed during the tournament was the prize Johnson, who participated alongside the other players, was more interested in. “I like the camaraderie involved in golf,” admitted Johnson. “Meeting other people, developing sportsmanship, talking, and of course the competition, are all fun.” Johnson’s desire to grow the love of the game stems from his own love for the sport. As the head golf professional at Paradise Point, he strives to introduce new programs and tournaments on a regular basis. Every third Saturday of the month, the Paradise Point course holds a Men’s Scramble tournament, open to all adult males who are interested in taking part. “Nobody has to sign up before-hand for the Men’s Scramble,” explained Johnson. “They show up the day of the tournament and register between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. We hold them every third Saturday unless we have an outside group.” In February, they plan to hold a Super Bowl Tournament, which will feature the Scarlett Golf Course and will challenge players at their short game by shrinking the par
of all holes to three. In addition to their scheduled tournaments, Paradise Point also plans to introduce some junior clinics, tournaments and classes in 2013. “We enjoy having juniors on the course, but want to make sure they are playing in an appropriate setting,” Johnson explained. “You never know what will be said, and we want to make sure our juniors are not in an inappropriate golf setting. “We encourage their participation in junior tournaments or parentchild tournaments,” added Johnson. He hopes active-duty Marines and their families will try their hand at golf. “Come over and talk to us,” Johnson said. “Look at the possibility of taking some lessons, just don’t purchase anything right off the bat. We have rentals available here; all you need to bring is yourself. We’ll provide everything else.” For more information on the Super Bowl Tournament or any other upcoming golf tournaments, clinics or rate specials at the Paradise Point Golf Course visit www.mccslejeune.com/ golf/index or call 451-5445.

Stewart and his brother decided to try to beat as many Marines as they could during the 5K race and both crossed the finish line with impressive times. TOYS FROM 1B personnel consolidated their toys into three large boxes before the start of the race. Children in attendance dumped their gifts into boxes as their parents reminded them of the child who would receive their present. Capt. Thomas Carroll, with the assistance and support of Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Rademacher and Sgt. Richard Gordineer, engineered and orchestrated the family event, even coordinating with Santa Clause to make a special visit to children in attendance. For Carroll, Rademacher and Gordineer, watching the third annual fun run come together was a moment they looked forward to all year. “This is our third year and we grew a bit,” said Carroll. “Our first year, we decided we wanted to do something fun and get in some (physical training). This year, we
had individual runners as well as a team event. It seemed appropriate to help us grow. “This program is a great chance to give back to families in need,” continued Carroll. “It shows Marine Corps generosity in giving back to families having a tough time during the holiday season. It’s always important to interact with the community at a local level, and this run lets us help those in need.” Since its inception in 1947, Toys for Tots underwent a vast array of slight changes and adjustments to help it transcend the decades. From 1947 to 1979, the program accepted new and used toys, and Marine Corps reservists spent their drill weekends from October to December refurbishing the used toys. In 1980, the reserves’ new role in protecting and defending the United States kept

them from focusing on refurbishing old toys. In addition to less time to refurbish old toys, health and safety concerns about the condition of the used toys made their collection legally inadvisable. Finally, the Marine Corps determined handing out pre-owned toys did not convey the message they wanted to families in need. In order to deliver a message of hope, love and joy, a shiny new toy was deemed the only acceptable option. Sgt. Michael Cucinotta of AITB-East has first-hand experience at seeing the joy brought to the faces of children and families who receive the toys distributed by Toys for Tots. As a volunteer with Toys for Tots he knows the impact one toy can make. “This fun run is an amazing way to help show the American people the Marine Corps truly cares,” said Cucinotta, who was the first runner to complete the race. “Supporting underprivileged families is something worth doing.” The race route, the normal physical fitness test run–course for the Marines of AITB – East, was directed by Marines at crossroads and intersections. With individual runners in the front, three teams of Marines behind them, and walkers and strollers bringing up the rear, the fun run was well-led and organized from start to finish. As runners crossed the finish line, they were

Inside and out of the cold, hot chocolate, coffee and desserts were served, and a tree waited to be decorated by families who attended the event. First, second and third place runners received gift cards provided by Marine Corps Community Services. The first, second and third place runners in the 12 and under category also received gift cards. Twin brothers Kyle and Kamren Stewart, who attended the run with their father, said the race was cold but wellworth attending. “We weren’t planning on coming, but dad said he had a run for Toys for Tots, and so we asked to come with him,” explained Kyle. “We’re like shake and bake,” said Kamren. “We stay together when we run at events like this, and we like to see how many Marines we can beat.” Kyle and Kamren crossed the finish line within minutes of each other, after a cramped muscle caused one of them to walk a portion of the route. Regardless of who finished first, knowing they were running for those less-fortunate was a “good feeling.” “Overall, this was a good race,” said Carroll as the festivities began to wind down after the

2nd Marine Logistics Group
A quiet fell over the line of Marines as they stood on a raised berm and waited to see the results of their day’s endeavor. Thirty-one Marines with Ammunition Company, 2nd Supply Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group silently watched explosion after explosion erupt across the demolition range aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, and send tendrils of fire and debris streaking through the sky Dec. 4. “If you were standing down there, it would be pretty bad,” said Gunnery Sgt. Dustin L. Kershaw, the storage chief for
the company’s ammunition supply point who helped organize the training. “There is going to be shrapnel flying and some big fires … If you are in the mix of it, it is going to be a bad day.” The Marines seeded the area with a deep pit of small-arms ammunition and 17 separate stashes, or shots, of munitions containing as much as 50 pounds of net explosive weight. The emergency demolition training was designed to prepare the Marines to destroy supplies in the field if they ever had to abandon a position. “We took all of our old ammo that was no longer serviceable, and instead of spending the money to send it back to the depots

Monthly Well Baby Clinic returning to Midway Park Chapel LANCE CPL. JOSHUA W. GRANT
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Millions of children worldwide often go without food and proper care due to a lack of available services. The Well Baby Clinic is Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s solution to assist struggling military families with a little extra help close to home. For almost a year the Midway Park Chapel location for the clinic was unable to service any families because of a lack of space, but a re-launch is just around the corner. The clinic is a free service for parents, and offers nurses to weigh and measure babies. The nurses also assist with any questions parents have and offer classes on nutritional needs, medications and immunizations. “We are not a replacement for a doctor’s visit, but we can fulfill most other needs they have medically for their children,” said Heather Underhill, a visiting nurse with Navy Marine Corps Relief Society. Along with visiting nurses the clinic offers free clothing exchanges. “We are all about financial education, making sure the military family can be financially self-sufficient,” said Jessica McManus, a relief services assistant with the NMCRS. “Saving from buying new clothing when children grow so fast is a great way.” The twice per month clinic is also a great way for parents to meet with other families. “It allows families who are possibly less fortunate and maybe afraid to seek other help in fear of hindering themselves or their spouse to meet with parents who are attending for the same reason,” said Underhill. “A reason does not need to be given for the clothing exchange. It doesn’t put them on the spot for not being as well off as others.” Throughout the Marine Corps NMCRS has offices worldwide but the Well Baby Clinic is exclusive to MCB Camp Lejeune. Through this clinic, families with infants and young children can seek medical assistance and donations, which for some, no matter how small, can make all the difference.

The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit is deployed with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group in the 6th Fleet area of responsibility serving as an expeditionary crisis response force capable of a variety of missions from full-scale combat to evacuations and humanitarian assistance.

24th MEU Corporals Courses teaches leadership COURTESY STORY
24th Marine Expeditionary Unit
T
he Marine corporal exemplifies the foundation of the Marine Corps’ noncommissioned officer core. Their job, at its simplest, is to lead a small team of fighting men and women. It comes with the responsibility to set the standard and take care of their Marines. As leaders are made, the Corps trains their own for success. Marine corporals with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit learned basic leadership skills during Corporals Courses held aboard USS New York from October to December while deployed with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group. The Marines focused on the essentials of small-unit leadership and counseling to build the
confidence of these young Marines to lead the future of the Marine Corps, said Staff Sgt. Robert Mendoza, the chief instructor. “It’s really about teaching them NCO leadership and preparing them to lead and mentor their junior Marines,” said Mendoza. During the course, the Marines learned sword manual, land navigation, counseling, proficiency and conduct marks, mentorship, after action reports, constructing and executing a training program, as well as other facets of leading Marines. “They definitely increased their leadership abilities … As corporals, they are the first echelon of leadership,” said 1st Sgt. Jason C. Petrakos, course staff noncommissioned officer in charge and a company first sergeant for Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 24th MEU.
As in any industry, leadership methods vary according to the trade and the individual. As such, the instructors taught different ways to supervise in order for the corporals to have more options to begin developing their own technique. “There are different leadership styles,” said Sgt. Michael M. Schoonover, an assault amphibious vehicle assistant section leader with the company. “They learned how mentoring can be more effective than just screaming, in some situations. They are there to help their Marines. It’s more like a teacherstudent relationship.” The young corporals also learned the value of education regarding their development and their subordinates. “They became more familiar with developing their NCO leadership with knowledge,” said Sgt. Somnang Stolfa, an amphibious
assault vehicle section leader with the company. “If you’re a leader without knowledge then you’re just another Marine walking around and collecting a paycheck.” Throughout the course, they received advice harkening back to the responsibilities of Marine corporals as the backbone of the Corps and serving as standard bearer and mentor for their junior Marines. They left the course with more than a sense of their responsibilities and skills, but new friends and fellow leaders. “Meeting these guys, and getting to know them and study with them was good,” said Cpl. Bryan A. Powell, a data systems specialist with the company. “After (Marine Combat Training) we all leave with this common skill set (of war fighting). But as we spend more time in the fleet we lose those skills. This course
allowed me to learn those skills again with the infantrymen. It brings us all back to ‘every Marine is a rifleman’ first, then our job second.” Training continues aboard USS New York as Marines maintain their readiness for whatever the future may hold. The 24th MEU is deployed with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group and is currently in the 6th Fleet Area of Responsibility as an expeditionary crisis response force. Since deploying in March, they supported a variety of missions in the U.S. Central, Africa and European Commands, assisted the Navy in safeguarding sea lanes, and conducted various bilateral and unilateral training events in several countries in the Middle East and Africa. The 24th MEU is scheduled to return to their home bases in North Carolina before the end of the year.

PFC. SULLIVAN LARAMIE
2nd Marine Logistics Group
It is better to give than to receive, and a battalion with 2nd Marine Logistics Group certainly personified this lesson. As the holiday season quickly passes by, Marines and sailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 22 proposed an idea to Darlene M. Kern, the unit’s family readiness officer. They wanted to host a food drive. A family readiness officer is a liaison between commanding officers and families of Marines, and routinely organizes events such as this. Kern took the idea to the commanding officer of CLB-22, Lt. Col. William P. Carroll, who approved the drive to run from November 14 to 20. “The community gives so much to the Marines and sailors,” said Kern. “The battalion wanted to give back to the community and other service members as well.” Each section of the battalion donated food items such as cereal, pasta and
canned vegetables. Six Marines joined Kern to load 16 overflowing boxes into a vehicle and headed to the USO. Upon arrival, the Marines unloaded the nonperishable goods for the thankful staff. Pfc. Sarah A. Steiert, a motor transport operator with CLB-22, was one of the six Marines who helped move the goods from the unit’s collection point aboard MCB Camp Lejeune to the USO. “Whether it’s right around the corner or in the rest of the United States, or even another country, every mission is really important.” Steiert said. “I’m always happy to help out wherever I can.” This was the first time CLB-22 ran a food drive, said Kern. It probably won’t be the last, however, and the battalion will not have any problems finding people to help. “If there are more opportunities like this, I would love to help,” said Pfc. Zachary T. Pealo, an ammunition technician with CLB-22. “We enjoy being able to provide for the folks who give us so much support.”
Volunteers recognized for outstanding efforts LANCE CPL. JOSHUA W. GRANT
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Thousands of volunteers work with the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society to help more than 4 million active duty and reserve service members and their families. The NMCRS Holiday Social and Award Ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is one way some of those volunteers are recognized. Dozens of NMCRS volunteers received awards for their generous hours of giving, ranging from 15 to over 18,000. Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations East – MCB Camp Lejeune, said when he was headed to his first duty station a system error occurred, and he was left with a lot of bills and no way to pay for them. “I went to NMCRS, and I threw myself to the mercy of the staff. They were able to help me out,” said Gorry. “I still send Marines to NMCRS, and I continue to be impressed by the work done. I give a heartfelt thank you to the volunteers, who make it all possible.” In 2012 more than 40 volunteers worked out of the MCB Camp Lejeune office of NMCRS. The individuals accumulated more than 7,000 combined volunteer hours, 500 of which were completed in the layette program where more than 500 blankets were made for military families. Some volunteers exceeded expectations and received personal awards. Vanessa Jarr, a military spouse, received her 300- and 500-hour awards at the luncheon, but was also recognized for her dedication and selflessness. Jarr received the Superior Performance Award, the second highest honor a volunteer can receive, for her exemplary work ethic and the ability to put others first.

Members of Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, including employees and volunteers, pose at the annual luncheon Dec. 5. The luncheon honored the hard work and selfless dedication to giving throughout the year with awards for volunteers ranging from 15 to more than 18,000 service hours. “Working as chair to the client services program, it was very humbling to receive the award and I had no idea I was getting it,” said Jarr, client services assistant for NMCRS. “I know the other volunteers I work with, and they’re just as deserving as I am,” said Jarr. “In so many ways it’s a privilege to serve at this office. My mother worked for the society when I was young so I was familiar with it,
but the team I work with is above and beyond anything anyone could expect.” Service members are recognized for their valiant efforts in battles while back home volunteers receive recognition for their corresponding actions. In over 250 offices worldwide the NMCRS has thousands of selfless volunteers helping those service members who need just a little bit more.

AMCC reaches milestone, commemorates 4,000th home
“When I first joined the Navy the houses weren’t near as nice as this is,” said 1st Class Petty Officer Tim Pancost, an electronic technician with Center for Security Forces Learning Site MCB Camp Lejeune, and the resident of the 4,000th home. Pancost expects his youngest daughter will make good use of the playground while he’ll enjoy the boardwalk to take strolls with his family. “I like the area, and the size of the house is nice,” Pancost added. The area means more to SNCOs than just a house; the leaders get a place where they can unwind and have fun without worrying about running into their subordinates. “You want to be able to come home and relax,” said Michael Lane, the director of Public Privatized Venture, Liaison Branch, and a retired SNCO. Lane lived in the Tarawa Terrace area, which neighbors Knox Landing, during the 1970s and finds everything to be a world away from the sights he knew as a resident. “We’re nearing the end of our initial development period. We’re very proud to give SNCOs homes,” said Murney. Ensuring quality housing with on-base security, Department of Defense schools, and a good community for military families to foster bonds is an important point of great pride to AMCC, added Murney. The new area has homes available immediately to SNCOs. For more information call 450-1627.

Atlantic Marine Corps Communities aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune built its 4,000th home for the Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River community recently. AMCC held a ribbon cutting to commemorate the milestone, welcoming a new family to the Knox Landing staff noncommissioned officer community Nov. 29. The 4,000th home is the culmination of almost a decade of renovating and building new homes throughout the community, said Kathleen Murney, project director with AMCC. The early phases of housing construction focused on the masses of junior ranks. Now the time has come for senior leaders to experience the new housing for themselves. The home marks another milestone for the base’s military housing: the most homes SNCOs have ever had available aboard the base. The home was built in an area formerly designated for mobile homes. Now, the spot was transformed into an enclave for SNCOs featuring a variety of parks and a waterfront boardwalk along with wellmanicured lawns surrounding the spacious homes. While construction is still ongoing, the other communities recently constructed by AMCC give hint to great promise.

Dance is a universal language unguarded by grammar, protected from pronunciation and set free to tell a tale understood by all. The Nutcracker Ballet speaks to every culture, whispering the secrets of the season, and last weekend it returned to Onslow County to repeat its legendary story. Service members, veterans, their families and local citizens turned out to support the Dance Theatre of Jacksonville in their annual rendition of the Nutcracker at Northside High School Auditorium Oct. 7 through 10. “We feel like our community m munity needs things like this,” explained d Debbie Baile, production coordinator an and nd owner of the dance theatre. “It’s a building d process. ding We’re just getting started.” .” ” nearly 20 years, Baile For n a taught aile her stude students the ent the story of th he Nutcracker and a shuttled them m to Raleigh to see performances ncces of the ballet. baalle She eventually allly realized the importance off the show classic sh how and decided to t take a chance. chancee. took a leap of “We ttoo faith and decided to dd here with our do it her re w
students,” she said. “We received so much support. People donated money and time, and many of our parents built props for the show.” For the third year in a row, the large ensemble tackled the famous ballet, accompanied by the brilliant score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. “The music alone brings people out,” explained Debbie Baile. “It’s the best. When you add in the talent and the Christmas season, it makes for a fabulous show.” Baile’s cast reflects the heart of the Onslow County community with several military children taking the lead in key roles.

Pitt dominates as ‘Red Dawn’ makes way over horizon Now playing at Jacksonville “KILLING THEM SOFTLY” (R) “Killing Them Softly” is a clever and hard-boiled crime drama set against the economic crisis in 2008. The story plays out in New Orleans and follows a professional enforcer who works for the mob. Brad Pitt (“Moneyball,” “The Inglorious Bastards,” “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”) stars as Jackie Cogan, a ruthless hired gun who is out for revenge when tasked with finding and punishing the men responsible for robbing an underground gambling operation. The dumb act could cause the collapse of the local criminal economy, and Jackie is now investigating the heist that occurred during a highstakes, mob-protected poker game and is trailing two amateur hoodlums, Frankie and Russell, played by Scoot McNairy (“Argo”) and Ben Mendelsohn (“The Dark Knight Rises”). Co-starring are Ray Liotta as Markie Trattman, the game’s scheming organizer, Richard Jenkins (“The Rum Diary”) as Driver, the lawyer for the mob, James Gandolfini (“The Sopranos”) as Mickey, a burnt-out hit man, and Sam Shepard as Dillon. Andrew Dominik (“The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward
Robert Ford”)wrote and directed the film, and updated the story he adapted from the 1974 novel “Cogan’s Trade” by Geroge V. Higgins. Pitt is perfect, portraying a menacing sociopath and mob hitman in this dark, and somewhat humorous and cynical film. “Killing Them Softly” is a gritty and bloody, but stylish crime thriller with an outstanding ensemble cast, exhilarating dialogue, and an unpredictable plot. However this will be a hard sell for the general audiences. “RED DAWN” (PG-13) “Red Dawn” is an action film and a remake of the 1984 cult classic. The film follows a group of high school kids forced to pick up firearms and organize war efforts on the street of their small town. A city in the state of Washington awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky. The United States of America is invaded by North Korean soldiers and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots band together in the surrounding woods and form a resistance group who call themselves the Wolverines, taking inspiration from their high school mascot.

There, they protect one another, train and organize themselves into a group of guerrilla fighters in order to liberate their town from its captors and take back their freedom. Chris Hemsworth (“The Avengers,” “Snow White and the Huntsman,” “Thor”) stars as Jed Eckert, a Marine home on leave, who is the leader of this group. Josh Peck (“Ice Age”) co-stars as Matt Eckert, the hot-headed younger brother of Jed.

Santa Claus visited Tarawa Terrace with Mrs. Claus and a few of his elves to spread some early Christmas cheer to Marine families during the annual Tarawa Terrace Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s housing community Dec. 1. Many families swarmed to the community center at 6 p.m. for an evening of enjoyment and jubilee with others in the neighborhood, all while giving young children an opportunity to have fun and meet Santa. Lorraine Fuller, a recreation specialist at
the Tarawa Terrace Community Center coordinated a fun-packed night for people of all ages, but with a specific focus on the children. “We put on this event every year to celebrate the holiday season and all the festivity it brings,” said Fuller. “We do it in the beginning of December just to properly kick off the month. We also do it this early so families leaving for the holidays later in the month can still enjoy this event.” More than 350 residents showed up in support of the tree lighting with their coats, earmuffs and holiday spirit. Hot chocolate and cookies were also provided by the community center for those who dared to brave the cold weather. As people piled onto outdoor bleachers waiting to light up the tree and meet Santa, Fuller asked children what Christmas gifts were at the top of their wish lists. The enthusiastic children had no shortage of presents in mind, naming off everything between action figures and iPhones. As the evening progressed, and children awaited Santa’s arrival, Fuller handed out SEE TREE 5D

Holiday Jubilee provides fun for kids of all ages LANCE CPL. SCOTT W. WHITING
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Headquarters and Support Battalion, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune held their annual holiday jubilee Dec. 6 aboard MCB Camp Lejeune for a night of holiday festivities for the whole family. The Christmas-decorated Goettge Field House was full of face-painting stations, drawing tables, balloons, food – and even Santa Claus made an appearance. Each patron was given a raffle ticket at the door, and lucky attendees won prizes throughout the evening. The night’s main event featured Chris Bays and Neal Chamberlain, two North Carolina magicians who put on quite the show for jubilee attendees. They enlisted the assistance of Lt. Col. David Bardorf, the commanding officer of HQSPTBn, for many of their feats. In their finale, they suspended a young girl in mid-air, leaving the crowd wondering how they did it. After the magic show was finished and prizes were disseminated, families went home happy, with their stomachs full of food and their faces full of paint after a free night of enjoyment.

Ballerinas perform during the Tarawa Terrace Community Center Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area Dec. 1. Young dancers from the community center’s Dance With Me Academy provided entertainment for the event’s patrons throughout the evening. TREE FROM 3D song sheets to the young ones, and even some parents who weren’t afraid to let their voices be heard as they sang tunes like “Jingle Bells” and “Let it Snow” to pass the time. Many kids even had bells and rang them as they sang along to the well-known Christmas melodies. When Santa showed up, parents and children circled the community center’s holiday tree as it lit up with Christmas lights, which was followed by a resounding ovation by the residents. They then packed the gym inside the center to get family pictures, meet Santa Claus and watch “The Polar Express.” In addition to meeting Santa and watching a movie, arts and crafts were also available in the gym, giving children the opportunity to be creative while they waited for their picture with Saint Nicholas. “(This event) is important because it’s an opportunity to get the family out and do more than just go to the mall and see Santa,” said Fuller. “We’re coming together as a community and socializing with neighbors. It has a little more depth to it than just a photo. The kids have a blast singing together, even if they don’t know all the words.” The Dance With Me academy students also displayed their abilities with a recital for the event patrons interspersed throughout the evening. Fuller said the ceremony is fun time for neighborhood residents to build fellowship with one another. “The volunteers love entertaining the children,” said Fuller. “We have a very motivating staff here who loves to hold events like these.” Photo by Lance Cpl.

Ditch the Grinch, embrace peace
Oh my word with Amy Binkley
Assistant managing editor
I’ve been robbed. Somewhere between losing an hour with the sun and wrestling with a schedule as chaotic as a strand of tangled twinkle lights, my abundantly obnoxious holiday cheer was stolen. Where has my Christmas mojo gone? Back in the good old days, the only thing on my mind after the
Thanksgiving leftovers disappeared was how soon I could convince my mom to put up our tree and figuring out her newest hiding place for gifts. Now, I’m bombarded with incessant holiday party RSVP requests, other people’s family Christmas cards on my fridge, present-buying on a budget, and an array of commercials demanding me to be cheerful. All I want for Christmas is a nap. My general lack of festive enthusiasm began worrying me last week when I realized I broke my longstanding tradition of watching “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” on Black Friday, and a glance at my jam-packed calendar revealed no time in which to rectify the situation. I stood stunned,
BALLET FROM 1D “It’s gut wrenching every time they leave,” Bailed noted. Experienced dancers worked to a new level of excellence this season as the barre was raised by the new artistic director, Christina Hardy. “(The choreography) is a lot more challenging this year,” said Jordyn Santiago, a military dependent who danced the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy. “It’s a nice change. I think it’s good to let the audiences see what we have to offer.” Hardy embraced her behind-thescenes role enthusiastically. After years of personal dancing and teaching experience, she knew her cast could handle the discipline required to master complicated sequences. “It’s a very big undertaking, but it’s important for kids to not only take lessons but perform a real ballet,” Hardy pointed out. She practiced the discipline learned from the lifestyle of a military spouse, and incorporated it into her planning and teaching of the production. “I’ve been dancing for years, and I knew when we moved here I had to be involved,” she admitted. “I fell in love with the whole environment (the Dance Theatre) created, and the way they nurture the children with the correct and focused technique of dance.” Hardy noted how watching the Nutcracker during the holidays is a family tradition, and for Marines who can’t spend the time with their families, she hopes the show helped them to understand they don’t have to drive far for quality entertainment. “Big cities or little towns, you’ll find the Nutcracker somewhere,” she commented. “Our community came together and enhanced their cultural experience.” Her husband, Lt. Cmdr. Erik Hardy, Field Medical Battalion, reprised his role as a party guest in the show, and stated the importance of events like the ballet and why he is involved. “It takes a community to raise our children,” he said. “Any opportunity to bring this kind of culture to our town, I want to be a part of it. (Marines who come to see it gain) exposure to something perhaps they never saw before.” The tinkling of Tchaikovsky’s score filled the auditorium with its dreamlike melodies as the electrified
cast took their places. The story follows Clara who dreams of battles between mice and toy soldiers, her Nutcracker as a war hero, a visit to the Land of Snow and the Land of Sweets, and several greetings and special performances from characters like Hot Cocoa, Marzipan Shepardesses and Mother Ginger. Veteran dancer Rebecca Chisholm, a military dependent, pulled triple-duty as a soldier doll, the Snow Queen and the Dew Drop Fairy, but she didn’t complain about the amount of work and practice put into her performances. “The Nutcracker is timeless,” she responded. “People come because of the experience.” Chisholm, as well as Santiago, partnered with guest dancer, Matthew Sparks, who joined them from New York City. Sparks, a former classmate of Christina Hardy, brought his experience not only to the stage, but to the classroom teaching the young protégées about stage presence, working with a partner and the impact a welldone performance of the Nutcracker has on an audience. “Part of the reason people come is because of the music. It’s one of the most famous pieces ever written,” he admitted. “It’s fantastic working with these students.” While none of the dancers hinted at fatigue, months of preparation went into perfecting the choreography for the show. “We start auditions in May and rehearsals in June,” said military parent Dee Reitz. “It’s pretty constant and nonstop, but the kids get along so well.” Chisholm’s mother, Amy, explained how the dancers work similarly to the military, creating a surrogate family with each other during their months of training. In the end, they’re able to bring something to Onslow County that is desperately needed. “We don’t really have (an established fine arts) culture here, but it’s starting to grow,” she responded. “With the Nutcracker, we strive to give the community a full, professional production they’ll enjoy.”
taunts me with nights of restless sleep and days of anxious thoughts. Next, the mission calls to “close with” the enemy. I won’t lie and pretend I immediately knew what this meant, but I will say the combination of Google and a batch of Marines down the hall helped in my understanding. Picture an aerial shot of a battle scene in your favorite war movie, where both sides run toward each other until they clash in a colossal clang of weapons. This is the perfect description of what it means to close with your enemy. For me, it means to close the gap between me and stress where everything is running amuck. If there’s no room for it to maneuver, stress loses its advantage, and the pressure weakens.
The final step proves problematic. In a reallife war, destroying the enemy is a necessity for the safety of the entire platoon. As much as I would like to blow up the sources of my crushing load, it’s frowned upon in normal society, and I wouldn’t do well in jail. I adapted the tactic and instead rescued my prisoner of war. I chose to be peaceful on purpose. Yelling at or closing myself off to the sources of my stress only increased the weight of the pressure I felt. However, when I made the decision nothing and no one could take my peace from me, everything changed. I can’t control what happens around me or even the feelings that come, but my resolve to hold on to peace in the
midst of the commotion must be intentional. Being separated from your loved ones over the holidays is stressful, whether you’re the one at home or half a world away. Deployments deserve a good cry on both sides every now and then. But letting peace rule over worry will not only make the time appear to pass quicker but will make you a better person when you’re reunited. Are you dreading sharing a meal with your in-laws? Take deep breath, remind yourself to keep calm and carry on. Someone somewhere would give everything they have to be in your position. Being deliberately composed proves difficult when you’re pushed to your limit, but don’t let it consume you. Ditch the Grinch and embrace your peace.

Don’t fake it to make it NAVY LT. STEPHEN DICENSO
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
The other day there was a television interview in which a successful person stated, “Sometimes you have to fake it, until you make it.” This was in response to the interviewer asking how he was able to appear so successful despite the pressures of the position. While this may play well in regard to the interview and the person’s seemingly endless amounts of energy, drive and passion, this type of deception does not bode well for the rest of his life. This type of humanistic philosophy will one day reach its natural conclusion in burnout or failure. This leader will eventually run out of false fronts and will have to confront the sad reality it is impossible to maintain perfection. From a leadership standpoint, relying on deception in an attempt to complete a mission or business plan can have very tragic results for the four-man fire team or thousandperson corporation. As written in Job 15:30, “Who invests in lies, gets lies for interests.” Faking it until you make it is an investment into lies because its only product is more lies. The media is saturated with individuals, companies and ministries who from all appearances were upright, healthy or powerful. The deceptions were perpetuated until truth became stranger than fiction and the accountants, lawyers and media moved in to pick through the wreckage. How then shall we live in light of this? Again, to turn to a faith tradition to discover a measure of guidance. Proverbs 12:17 states, “Truthful witness by a good person clears the air, but liars lay down a smoke screen of deceit.” The overarching principle of living is to be honest with others as well as ourselves. To do otherwise is to lay down a smokescreen of deception that eventually blows back over us. To paraphrase George Bailey in “It’s A Wonderful Life,” We sit around and spin our little smoke screen webs thinking the whole world revolves around us. My suggestion is to stop spinning those webs and let the smoke clear. It maybe painful to stand in light of our deception, but the sooner it’s done the less wreckage there will be.

paralyzed by the realization I had, in fact, crossed the line into a grown up Christmas mindset where the magic of laying under the tree, staring at the lights, and dreaming of what the new year would bring is replaced by worrying about bills, staying busy and regretting what didn’t get done last year. Dr. Seuss’ Grinch stole presents. Mine delivered stress. Working with Marines for two and a half years taught me a few things, and in this case, the mission of the Marine Corps rifle squad seemed like the most appropriate lesson to apply. First, locate the enemy. The stress-Grinch swiped peace of mind out from under me then stood there and laughed. Identifying where the pressure comes from is the easy part. It
