Marines with 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 7, recently returned to southern Afghanistan, two years after their last deployment to the Marjah area. The opportunity to return to the same area allowed some Marines to see firsthand the difference two years of teaching and mentoring with various Marine battalions and training teams make on an area. “We were in the Marjah district on the edge of Trek Nawa from December 2010 to June 2011,” said Lance Cpl. Limuel Richards, a team leader with the battalion.
Richards and his squad leader, Sgt. Ben Edwards, were with the battalion two years ago. Because of their previous deployment, the two Marines have a better perspective of the progress made by Afghan National Security Forces. “I honestly thought when we came back it was going to be like before,” said Edwards. “Everyone told me the war had changed, but I see it now with my own eyes.” Last deployment, the Marines worked relatively independent of their Afghan counterparts. They operated and patrolled through the district, occasionally with Afghan National Army soldiers attached to their squad. This is a stark contrast to how Marines run
missions now. “The biggest difference is the ANA are running their own operations,” said Richards. “They understand tactics and how to patrol a lot better than our last deployment.” Recently, Edwards’ squad patrolled through the surrounding area with an Afghan National Army squad. “I led the patrol down to a local police station,” said Edwards. “We checked on a school that recently opened and had chai tea with an (Afghan Local Police) officer and Afghan squad leader. Afterward, I talked to the ANA squad leader, and he took charge and led the patrol back.” The last time Richards was here, they used simple hand
signals to show the Afghan soldiers how to patrol, where to post security, and other squad and fire team level tactics. The development of the Afghan forces is much farther along then those days. “On today’s patrol, they knew what to do,” said Richards. “I was really impressed with their improvement.” When the squads arrived at the police station, ANA Staff Sgt. Samandar Khan, a squad leader with the 215th Corps, set his soldiers in security positions outside. The command impressed Edwards and showed him how much the ANA have progressed. “While we had the meeting, (Sgt. Khan) mentioned going out and checking on his soldiers,

which stood out to me,” said Edwards. “Checking on his men and posting security really showed how he acted like a leader, doing the things leaders should.” SEE MARJAH 5A

As the amtrac dunker dropped in the pool, flipped over on its side and began to take on water, all spectators breathlessly waited for the four “trapped” Marines to resurface. With air bubbles disturbing the calm water, everyone in the pool let out a sigh of relief as they watched the four Marines escape the Submerged Vehicle Egress Trainer and float to the surface. “I honestly hope the Marines never have to use any of the training they learned today,” said Glen LaMarque, an underwater egress instructor aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Preventive knowledge can save your life For men in the U.S., 75 percent die suddenly from cardiac-related illnesses such as myocardial infractions, hypertension, coronary artery disease and so forth. The sure way to decrease this percentage is prevention. The first thing in the way of prevention for local retirees is to contact Camp Lejeune Heath Promotions and schedule the Eating Healthy and Healthy Heart courses. Both are taught by professionals and are extremely helpful in providing preventive knowledge for the attendees. Retirees and their family members are invited to attend. There are some interesting facts about heart attacks such as most happen during the day, generally between 6 a.m. and noon. Having one at night, when the heart should be at rest, means something unusual happened to onset the attack. Many experts feel sleep apnea is to blame in many cases. If you take an aspirin every day as a preventive measure, experts suggest
taking it at night, since it is effective for 24 hours. This way, if the heart attack happens at night, the aspirin would be the strongest at night. About 60 percent of people who have a heart attack in their sleep and are not on an aspirin regimen do not wake up. Some name brands have an aspirin designed to dissolve instantly on the tongue, which works faster than a regular aspirin. Aspirins have a long shelf life but a tell-tale sign the medication is expired is when it begins to smell like vinegar. As with taking any medication, use precaution before taking aspirin on a regular basis because it can irritate the stomach lining and further complicate illness such as ulcers, gastrointestinal disorder, reflux and hiatal hernias. Consult a physician before taking any medication that could complicate illnesses or other prescribed medication. Some symptoms of a heart attack include pain in the chest, left arm and on the chin, as well as nausea
and profuse sweating. A person can have a heart attack without exhibiting many of these symptoms. If you feel you may be having a heart attack the best course of action is to take two aspirin quickly as possible, call 911 and a neighbor or relative, and say “heart attack.” Then take a seat by the door and relax as much as possible. Do not lie down. Contact Health Promotions at 451-3712 and enroll in the health classes offered to protect you and your loved ones with prevention. Another good resource is the quarterly Town Hall Meetings hosted by the Naval Hospital commanding officer with different, relevant health topics highlighted by professional speakers each meeting. A lot of good information is passed there by the commanding officer or his designees. The next meeting is Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. in the galley of the Naval Hospital and the subject will be sleep apnea, which can lead to hypertension.
Resource Roundup By Mark Munger
Family Readiness Officers help communication, keep you informed Total Force Fitness, a framework for building and maintaining health, readiness and performance, views health, wellness and resilience holistically. To reach optimal performance, a connection between mind, body, spirit, and family and social relationships is essential. Healthy relationships are an integral component of achieving Total Force Fitness, and command Family Readiness Officers play an important role improving the communication flow to enhance these relationships. Today, we gain insight into the Unit, Personal and Family Readiness Program by speaking with Ann Morey, II Marine Expeditionary Force family readiness officer. RR – The Marine Corps mission requires Marines have a rigorous training and deployment cycle. What are some ways a FRO assists spouses and other family members with staying informed on unit activities when Marines are training or deployed? AM – FROs have a variety of resources available to ensure both official communication and items of interest are shared. Our primary communication tool is eMarine, which allows FROs to post information about unit events and activities, or even post surveys. For example, surveys were posted requesting feedback on the type of event unit members and families would most enjoy or what day of the week would be better for a family
day. The unit website is an additional communication tool and often has a family readiness page listing events and activities, as well as communication by email, newsletters and word of mouth. If you are a family member who isn’t hearing anything from the FRO, ask your Marine to register for eMarine and then contact your unit FRO. RR – Can you please explain how eMarine streamlines communication with families? AM – When a Marine registers as a sponsor for eMarine, up to four contacts can be authorized as subscribers to the site. Sponsors and subscribers create a personal password for the account and log in to read what is happening in the unit or to access resources. Sponsors and subscribers don’t have to wait for a message to find out about an event. They can check anytime of the day or night. Since eMarine is a secure site, family members can access information they can’t get anywhere else and it can be accessed on their schedule. RR – How are FROs trained to handle the obstacles Marines and families may face? AM – There is nothing like hands-on, down-in-the-trenches experience, and the FROs are people experienced in the military lifestyle either through prior service or as

military family members. There are also a range of training materials available, and completion is required to either update or expand the FRO skill set annually. Many FROs attend graduate or post-graduate courses to expand their knowledge and skills. RR – If someone is interested in becoming a volunteer to help their unit FRO, what would be the first step? AM – Contact the unit FRO, a unit volunteer or a member of the unit Family Readiness Command Team to ask what opportunities are available. Be prepared to share availability and personal skill sets. If someone is not sure how they could help, but know they want to be involved, schedule a meeting with the unit FRO to discuss the options. Many people want to volunteer, but don’t think they can provide or do anything useful. Make the call, drop by the office or talk to another volunteer. This was an enlightening education on eMarine, the role of Family Readiness Officers and the importance of communication. Sharing resources and tools to help keep our families informed, particularly during deployments, is essential in achieving Total Force Fitness. Without the FROs, the information flow would definitely be slow. Family members should remember to utilize their resources to stay as informed as possible.

Tire flipping unites Marines in brotherhood, pain CPL. TIMOTHY LENZO Regional Command Southwest

n today’s society of workout trends from Pilates and Crossfit to Insanity and P90X, Marines with 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 7 are trading DVD workouts for a more rugged approach. Every other Sunday, Marines gather to flip two tires for more than a mile around the base. The exercise works their entire body and also brings Marines together who normally would not interact. “We went out to enhance the base morale by flipping two gigantic tires,” said Sgt. Michael Sinicropi, maintenance management chief with the battalion. “When we first decided to flip tires, it sounded like a terrible idea. When the day came, everyone looked around like, we are not really going to flip that tire? Then, true to the Marines, we flipped the tire.” The first day there were only three Marines. They flipped the tire in plain view of the entire base. Sinicropi did not realize it then, but he just started a workout that would grow in participants during the next couple weeks. “When we returned, the company commander and company gunnery sergeant were talking about us flipping the tire,” said Sinicropi. “The next day the whole base was talking about us.” After the first week, the three Marines saw their numbers more than double as other Marines joined in the workout. During their latest outing, 20 Marines helped flip the tire. The oddity of the workout attracted many

The intensity of the workout kept them coming back. “It’s a very unique workout,” said Sinicropi. “Marines go for a while, for 15 or 20 minutes and feel good. Fifteen flips and their back hurts. Then they get to the point where it’s like a cardio workout combined with pullups, pushups and everything else at the same time.” The exercise is simple. Using their arms, legs and back, Marines flip a tire to move it forward.
“It’s a full body workout,” said Staff Sgt. Jaime Butler, administration chief with the battalion. “We flipped two tires around the entire base, for more than a mile. It’s really motivating to all the Marines.” The Marines alternated between two tires, a large seven-ton truck tire, approximately five feet tall, and a smaller tire, more than three and a half feet in height. One individual flipped the smaller tire, but the larger tire took

two Marines. With sweat dripping down their faces, Marines screamed words of encouragement. The yelling drew even more attention than the loud thud of the heavy tires slamming against the gravel and mud road. “The Marines keep pushing each other,” said Butler. “If anyone absolutely can’t flip the tire someone will come help, but for the most part they want to see Marines do it
themselves. It’s when the screaming comes in.” Butler joined after the first week and has not missed one since. He recently joined the battalion and found the workout a great chance to meet and build camaraderie with the other Marines. “It’s a good time for all the Marines and really impressive what something so small like flipping a tire can do for a group of Marines,” said Sinicropi.
“No matter how big or strong a Marine is, they are all in the same amount of pain after flipping the tire more than 15 times. It’s going to hurt, and it’s going to hurt bad.” The tire flipping will continue throughout the rest of the battalion’s deployment. Marines from the new private first class to the experienced gunny meet to flip these massive tires, boosting morale and sharing in the pain.

Machine gunners let loose at Battle Skills Training School LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON 2nd Marine Logistics Group
The convoy snaked its way around a bend in the road just before a barrage of machine-gun fire tore through the long line of simulated vehicles and sent pillars of smoke into the computer-generated sky. Teams of Marines with 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion, II Marine Expeditionary Force huddled in the dark of the Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer as they raked
the column with digital grenades and bullets at the Battle Skills Training School Nov. 26. The loud rat-a-tattat produced by the guns was harmless, but the ISMT course fulfilled a very real need for the service members. “If you are deploying like us, you are going to be put on these weapon systems in country,� said Lance Cpl. Alex W. Baker, one of the battalion’s military policemen who took part in the training. “It all comes down to communication – knowing if you are taking
the left side or the right side, and knowing where your other Marines are going to be applying fire so you can effectively take down the enemy.� Compressed air jolted the shooters as they squeezed the triggers on the simulator’s various weapons: the Mark 19 grenade launcher, .50-caliber machine gun, M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon and M-240 machine gun. The versatile simulator allows Marines to train for a vast array of scenarios and environments ranging from jungles and deserts to mountains and cities. "It is only limited by my imagination,� said Cpl. Samuel L. Ridenhour, an ISMT instructor at BSTS with 2nd Marine Logistics
Group. “I have a lot of control over it. I can jam their weapons. I can cause misfeeds and misfires.� Ridenhour ran the Marines through several simulations as their leaders organized the gunners and managed their fields of fire. “It gives the squad leaders a chance to better know their guys’ strengths and weaknesses, and it gives them a chance to get out there and lead in a simulated combat environment,� said Ridenhour. “The biggest thing to remember is know your limitations and also know the weapon’s limitations.� The Marines practiced reloading and battling malfunctions during a firefight. They shot the machine

their weapons to engage new threats. “You get to know what your fellow Marines are going to do in a situation,� said Baker, who tested his skills on two of the weapon systems. “You don’t all want to be focused on one target when there are multiple threats. You want to spread out your fire to get it done as quickly and effectively as possible.� The blaze of fire decimated the projected vehicles in a matter of minutes, and Ridenhour quickly launched additional scenarios to test the troops. With the last shots finally expended, the ISMT screen turned black, the lights came on and another team of Marines took positions behind the weapons.

guns in alternating bursts to provide a consistent hail of fire even as their partners reloaded. “This would be one of the few times when they actually get to integrate all the different guns,� said Ridenhour. “Your combined arms defense (scenario) is the best one because it requires the most tactics as far as knowing how to integrate heavy and medium guns.� The guns filled the room with noise, and forced the Marines to shout and use hand signals for communication, which was one of the main challenges for the course.

Sailors, Marines celebrate 237 years of religious support
CPL. ANTHONY WARD JR.
Regional Command Southwest
Sailors and Marines gathered at the Camp Leatherneck Chapel to celebrate the 237th birthday of the Chaplains Corps Nov. 28. Established during 1775, the Navy Chaplains Corps is charged with many tasks to include providing religious ministry and support, facilitating all religions, and aiding the Marines, sailors and their families spiritually. The ceremony began with a welcome speech by Lt. Cmdr.
Beth Stallinga, the Combat Logistics Regiment 15 chaplain, and the playing of the national anthem. Marines, sailors and all present were attentive to the television and the podium as birthday messages from senior ranking members of the Marine Corps and Navy were read and played. Once the introductions and messages were complete, the keynote speaker was introduced, addressed the audience, and commended the Chaplains Corps. “Not only as a Marine but as a chaplain’s kid, I appreciate the
MARJAH FROM 1A Edwards and Richards drank tea with Khan and ALP 3rd Lt. Shah Mohammad. The Marines, ALP and ANA representatives sat on a patch of grass inside the police station while the sounds of children playing could be heard from a nearby school, yet another sign of significant security progress made in southern Helmand province. The Marines made sure the ALP were being supported by their higher command, as well as asking about the recently opened school. After the meeting, it was Khan who approached Edwards about leading the patrol back, another indicator of how much the Afghan forces have improved. “I didn’t realize it would be like this,” said Edwards. “We are starting to see the ANSF take charge and take control of their own country.” The development of the Afghan police and ANA allows less Marines to support a larger area this deployment. “I enjoy being in the same area because I get to see the progress firsthand,” said Richards. “The Afghans are doing great. What we helped them with last deployment they’ve continued working on.” With a battalion full of Marines on their first deployment, Marines like Edwards and Richards are sharing their previous experiences to help the younger Marines understand the changes that have been made. The compound to compound clearing operations are a thing of the past for the Marines who now support their Afghan counterparts. It is a welcome sight in the community and a sign of progress in the area as ANSF take control of their country.

special role you have,” said Col. Michael Frazier, Force Fires and Effects coordinator for Regional Command (Southwest) and keynote speaker. “The calling you have as clergymen and women to come into the military and serve all the way from home.” Chaplains prove to be an asset to commands, with their service being valued for many different reasons. “The value you bring to the team is remarkable,” said Frazier. “As clergymen, as counselors, as team builders, advisers, as
the moral compass, as the commander’s special adviser and also as friends. You bring an awful lot to the table.” The RC (SW) chaplains continue to provide those services to the men and women they are currently deployed with in Afghanistan. “It means I’m serving God, and I’m serving my country,” said Cmdr. Michael D. Williams, RCT-7 chaplain. “I would not want to be any other place other than in combat with Marines and sailors. This is the highlight of my
life, other than the marriage to my wife. It’s just phenomenal.” The ceremony ended with the hymns of the Navy, Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard. As the notes belted through the loud speaker and the lyrics poured from the mouths of those who attended, the sense of pride and honor was felt throughout the room. The Chaplains Corps has provided religious and spiritual service to the organizations under its umbrella for 237 years and will continue to do so well into the future.

2nd Assault Amphibious Battalion learn from their past LANCE CPL. MEL JOHNSON 2nd Marine Division
A crowd of Marines quickly entered the dimly lit auditorium, their chatter quickly filled the lifeless theater. Waiting patiently for their class to begin, a Marine turned to another and asked, “What’s this class about?,� and was answered with, “I don’t know, probably something about nothing.� Little did they know, the two-hour professional military education they were about to receive would hit closer to home than expected. After a few short words from the battalion sergeant major, the instructor took the floor and started the class. With a click of the mouse, the 800 Marines with 2nd Assault Amphibious Battalion, 2nd Marine Division were taken back in time to a significant event in their unit’s history. “The training today was meant to teach some of the history of the battalion within the Division,� said Gunnery Sgt. Travis P. Mackall, a platoon sergeant with 2nd Assault Amphibious Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. Fought in the Pacific Theater of World War II from Nov. 20 - 23, 1943, the Battle of Tarawa made a heavy impact on the AA Bn., of the time. The 18,000 Marines sent to the tiny island were expected to easily secure it, but problems quickly arose. The Higgins boats used to ferry Marines to the beach could not traverse the coral reefs 500 yards off shore. The antecedent of the modern amphibious assault vehicle, called a Landing Vehicle Tracked, was used to land Marines on the beach and to rescue Marines stranded offshore on the coral reefs. What was supposed to be a simple mission turned into a 76-hour battle, during which the Marines suffered many causalities. “We study (our history) to learn and
see that though our technology and tactics may change, our outcome is still the same,� said Mackall. Mackall said the training was a nice refresher for the noncommissioned officers as well as the officers. However, he said he thinks those newer to the battalion had the most to gain. “It’s just a good lesson for the junior Marines, a history lesson on what happened,� said Mackall. “Some of the same obstacles they face today are the same that they faced 70 years ago.� As the training continued, the details of the battle grew more intricate and in an effort to keep the marines better engaged, they were instructed to imagine what it would have like to have their amphibious landing met with heavy opposition. Marines worked endlessly under constant withering enemy fire to defend a beach, while reinforcements are stuck 500 yards off shore. Being able to see the challenges the Marines faced at Tarawa was the most impactful for Lance Cpl. Joshua R. Anderson of Coventry, R.I., an amphibious assault vehicle crewman with Headquarters & Support Company. “How they had to adapt to new vehicles at the last minute, getting stuck on the coral reef, and dealing with the sea walls,� said Anderson. “To deal with all that, and still get the job done, I think that’s what everyone should take from this. My job could be a lot worse than it is right now.� As the class ended and the instructor gave his final remarks, the theatre once again became flushed with liveliness. Sounds of motivation resonated throughout the theatre as their battalion Sgt Maj. took to the mic. Reminding the Marines that before they continue to move forward as a battalion, it is necessary to stop and look, and appreciate how they have grown.

Marines and sailors gathered at the base theater aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Nov. 29, to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice during Regimental Combat Team 6’s 10-month deployment to Afghanistan. The ceremony gave the service members an opportunity to pay their respects to the 31 U.S. Marines and sailors and Republic of Georgia soldiers who died while serving under RCT-6. “We are gathered here today to remember our fallen brothers,� said Col. John Shafer, commanding officer, 6th Marine Regiment. “Our fellow Marines, sailors and Georgian soldiers who fell on the field of battle.� During a speech at the remembrance service, Shafer spoke about the sacrifices those 31 made for freedom. “Service to one’s nation always requires sacrifice,� he said. “We were reminded that the price of freedom is high – the first time during our deployment – after the loss of Cpl. Jonluke Bateman, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines Jan. 15. We were reminded an additional 30 times of that cost. The last time was Oct. 11, two weeks before the end of our deployment, when Cpl. Mindia Abashidze of the Georgian 32nd Light Infantry Battalion was killed in action,� he said. Shafer also spoke about sacrifices the 31 service members made and what it meant for the mission in Afghanistan “Thirty-one of us did not return, and as the commander I have repeatedly asked myself if such a cost is worth it.� He said that the answer came straight from the young men and women from units that had just recently lost a service member. “Each and every one of them told me that whenever they lost a comrade, they rededicated themselves to the mission and to the unit and that they would be sure to honor their fallen brother on the battle field. “It’s this attitude that will ensure ultimate strategic success in the OEF Campaign,� he continued. “That the future of Helmand province has changed for the better, and that the west need not fear extremist attacks launched again, from Afghanistan towards us.� After Shafer’s remarks, the service continued with a few words from the 6th Marine Regiment chaplain, the Marine’s prayer, roll call and the playing of taps. DIVE FROM 1A “It’s not just about getting the certification,� said Roger. “It’s about the Marines being comfortable while still being able to deal with tragedy.� As the SVET simulator emerged from the water for the final time, the Marines exited the pool with a sense of relief and accomplishment. “At the end of the day, if a Marine leaves this class with a certification card, then there’s no doubt that he is capable of successfully performing these survival skills,� said LaMarque.

ould 2013 be the Year of the Devil Pup? Students and faculty at Lejeune High School are true believers. With the women’s basketball team stacked with a hand-picked selection of strong and talented players like returning athlete Chryssandra Tatum and University of North Carolina at Asheville recruit Chatori Major, Devil Pups’
fans are already prepared to watch their favorite ladies bring home a state championship title. While the team has no announced plans to bear down on clinching a championship title, head coach Kevin Popadines doesn’t deny the 2012-2013 team is full of talent. At the outset of the season, the Devil Pups worked on rekindling the fire their team held in 2012, learning how to share the ball and work as a team. With most of their athletes returning from last season, Popadines was not faced with the challenge of rebuilding his team from scratch. He only lost one athlete to graduation in 2012, but found a strong replacement for the 2013 season. The varsity team’s aptitude for basketball, coupled with hard work and constant dedication they showed during pre-season practices and games, paved the way to their first two wins of the season. “We didn’t set out to say we were going to have a state title or anything like it,” said Popadines.

Anglers keep wary eye on tides, timing, trout
Last week I lamented the unpredictable speckled trout fishing and catching. While excuses for their finicky behavior run rampant, the majority of the problems anglers saw with speckled trout last week were bait, tide or timing related. The trout bite is back now, and is up and running as strong as ever. Local jetties like the Cape Lookout Rock Jetty, the Shackleford Island, Radio Island and Ft. Macon all saw a lot of action last week. The jetty located in front of the Radio Island fuel tanks also saw its fair share of anglers trying to make up for lost time and hook as many trout as possible. They are also still biting in the usual marshes, including the Haystacks, North River and the Banks Channel. While most anglers tend to flock to the locations listed above, some chose a slightly tougher location to try their hand at catching trout. The slough east of
the Oceanana Pier was brimming with trout. However, without the right bait, anglers left the pier empty handed. I went to the slough recently, only to discover the only bait fish caught were live shrimp. Since live shrimp are getting scarcer by the minute as our coastal waters cool down, I would suggest trying to trick trout into biting mud minnows. There was some recent success with plastic shrimps, such as Storm, Billy Bay and DOA, but I would suggest anglers stick to live shrimp as long as possible. Although the east ocean surf near Beaufort Inlet was hot last week, the rest of the surf saw little action. I guess this is a location problem since the majority of trout are running along the ocean from the Beaufort inlet. This means the Shackleford Island surf should be a good bet for anglers seeking trout. As far as tide and timing are concerned, I fished the slough east of Oceanana Pier Sunday morning for three hours on the rising and high tide. I never got a bump or saw a fish, even on live shrimp. Less than an hour after I left, the bite was going strong. I even heard of one angler
who caught and released around 80 trout. While I wanted to stay until the tide went down, I eventually grew tired of waiting and went back to Emerald Isle. Whoops. High tide is often a tricky time to surf fish as the fish have too many options to feed. However, as the tide retreats, the fish and bait become more concentrated and the bars, sloughs and breaking waves gain more prominence. Currents also benefit from the changing of the tides, as bait gather in highly concentrated numbers to flow with the current. For anglers who hate fishing the high tide as much as I do, I suggest trying to find a better location to cast your reel between the two tidal extremes. Anglers should be careful not to let hourly schedules be overlooked. Trout often bite best at dawn, dusk and after nightfall, when they are ready to feed. With excellent vision and bellies growling during the middle of the night, trout are known for being late-night biters. Their eyes take in five times the amount of light ours do so the sun rise forces them to seek shelter from the bright sunlight while their eyes adjust to daylight. The bite often shuts off after the sun comes up and does not strengthen until the sun go downs again. I saw this many times
when predawn is the best and then the fish turn off. They don’t go anywhere, they just don’t feed for a while. It is the same way for fish like Spanish mackerel, Atlantic bonito and other fish that sink to deep and dark depths from sunrise to sunset. I bring good tidings for anglers who are itching to get offshore for some larger catches. The Wahoo fishing does not show any sign of stopping any time soon. Blackfin tuna and sailfish seem to be biting strong as well, and are highly concentrated from the Big Rock to the Swansboro Hole. There is no sign of bluefin tuna or stripers yet, but I am still on the lookout and know I am not alone when I say we will be very happy to see them return to the Crystal Coast. Finally, I ask anglers to continue to remember the size limits and regulations for local fisheries. The Ask Dr. Bogus Fishing show can be heard every Monday morning at 7:30 on 107.1 FM and 1240 AM, and can be accessed on the Coastal Daybreak Facebook page at any time. For full regulations on catches visit www.portal.ncdenr.org/ web/mf/n.c.-saltwaterfishing-tournaments. For more information on upcoming fishing tournaments in the Crystal Coast visit your local fishing piers or call your local bait shops.
Wrestling showcase gives back to service members JESSIE HEATH Sports editor
Jeff White is not your average wrestling business owner. As the owner of the National Wrestling Association World Wide Wrestling company, he has many obligations. Yet, White found a way to go above and beyond the call to give back to those who answer the call of duty. “At the end of every year, we try to do something special for the community,” said White. “This year we decided we needed to recognize service members, and the Patriot Games were held in Jacksonville as a result.” The Patriot Games, designed to give service members and their families a night of wholesome wrestling entertainment without the drama shown on television, was held at the Jacksonville Commons Recreation Center in Jacksonville, N.C., Saturday. White’s show drew a crowd of approximately 300. With so many other events happening in Jacksonville on the same weekend, White acknowledged he was pleased with the turnout. “We accomplished what we wanted,” he said.

Marines from the Camp Geiger Single Marine Program, surrounded by internationally-known wrestlers, stand with a young fan who attended the Patriot Games to watch his favorite wrestlers and meet some of America’s heroes at the Jacksonville Commons Recreation Center in Jacksonville, N.C., Saturday. The funds from the Patriot Games were given to the Boy Scouts of America and Wounded Warrior Battalion - East aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in honor of America’s true heroes. “There was a lot of stuff happening in town, so I’m pleased with the number of people who attended the show. It was a small show, but there was one thing about the evening that really made everything we did for this show completely worthwhile.” White went on to share the story of a young man who attended the Patriot Games to meet wrestlers, not knowing all his favorites were scheduled to appear at the Patriot Games.
“I saw this young man come in, and he was excited about the games. I asked him who his favorite wrestlers were,” explained White. “He began to name all of the wrestlers we had in the show. I asked him if he’d like to meet them, he said yes, and I took him to the back to get photographs and autographs with everyone.” Knowing he was helping a young man meet his favorite celebrities was enough to put a smile on
White’s face, but he could not imagine what was to come. “About the time he was coming out from meeting all our guys, a bus full of young Marines from Camp Geiger pulled up, and that alone made my heart swell,” said White. “We gave some tickets to them. They were the ones we wanted to provide a show for. I was so happy to see them pull up.” SEE PATRIOT 5B

HITT Center facilities draw crowds Renovated gym offers patrons new fitness opportunities JESSIE HEATH Sports editor
After months of renovations and remodeling, the High Intensity Tactical Training Center re-opened for patrons last week. New walls, top-notch flooring and new bathrooms are among the multitude of changes made while the HITT Center underwent a face lift. “This was a long time coming,” said Kellie Clements, HITT Center manager. “They gutted the whole building and gave us new floors and new walls. They Th hey yd didn’t idn t te id idn tear ar
down the structure, but they started over completely.” With double-enforced walls, which bear more weight and are more durable than regular walls, and Mondo floors, the HITT Center’s new look is a far cry from the old facilities. “The Mondo floor is like a cadillac of flooring,” explained Clements. “The Marines like it because they can drop the weights and be rougher on it without messing it up.” In addition to new floors and walls, the bathrooms and locker rooms ro ooms om ms we were re rren renovated. en enov novvat ated ed..

(Left) Tires are stacked in the HITT Center in case patrons want to incorporate functional fitness into their regular routines. The renovated HITT Center is now open after receiving a much-needed face lift, and features new machinery, classes and more space. While their move back into the new building was hasty, Clements said it was done purely to ensure patrons could comfortably enjoy the HITT Center as soon as possible. “We still have things to unpack and we’re
still waiting on some equipment to arrive, but we wanted everyone to be able to get back to their home, and so far we’ve heard nothing but great feedback. Everyone loves being back home.” In addition to the
physical changes inside, the HITT Center staff also decided to offer a new series of classes. “Beginning the first of the year we will be offering four-hour heats in the morning and SEE HITT 5B

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. HITT FROM 4B evening,” explained Clements. “People can come in and sign up for the workout of the day, and we will have instructors teaching them on a regular basis. “We used to have a problem with people coming in and tearing the girls or myself away from what we were doing to show them the daily workout. With the WODS heats available, we’ll be able to alleviate some of that stress on us.” In addition to the WOD classes, the HITT Center is preparing to offer more group exercise classes, including kettle bells, plyometrics and training classes. The HITT Center will also welcome a new set of specialty classes, like Olympic Lifting, to their schedule. These specialty exercise classes will take place the last Friday of the month. “These training classes are going to be a great opportunity for a staff non-commissioned officer to come in, take a class and pass on to their junior Marines,” said Clement. “We’re also looking to do something in the spring, but we don’t want to give away too much right now.” The HITT Center will also resume their regularly scheduled classes at 11:30 a.m., 3 and 5 p.m. each day, but Clements and her staff are open to helping run patrons through drills if they cannot make the regularly scheduled times. “If anybody wants a class, all they have to do is bring a friend and tell us, and we will be more than happy to help run them through an exercise. Somebody will always be available for that.” While they are more than happy to be back in their home, the HITT Center staff recognized the support they received during their renovations. “We wouldn’t have been able to function without the graciousness of the 10th Marines,” admitted Clements. “They were so gracious in letting us move into their facility while we were renovating, and we couldn’t have kept going without their willingness to let us operate in their space during the entirety of the remodel.” Now they are home and the HITT Center has the opportunity to assist other fitness centers. While French Creek fitness center is closed for repairs and remodeling, the HITT Center will open its doors for extended hours. The HITT Center will open at 5 a.m. Monday through Friday and will remain open until 10 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday, the HITT Center will be available for patrons between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. “If we get a really good response, there is a chance we might continue to keep the extended hours,” Clements admitted. “But we will just have to wait and see.” For more information on the HITT Center visit www.mccslejeune.com/ fitness.

PATRIOT FROM 2B After everybody was settled into the arena to watch the Patriot Games, White moved the Marines, who were seated in bleacher seats, into ring side seats. Right before the show began, the young man White met earlier in the night caught sight of the Marines and yelled the Marine Corps’ most common battle call. “All those young Marines turned to look at the young man behind them and they yelled back,” said White. “After the game, they all wanted to take a picture with the young man, which pleased him. We were able to take a group photo of him, all the Marines and all the wrestlers. It made everything we did completely worthwhile and warmed my heart.”
The mixture of the young man’s excitement to meet his favorite wrestlers and the knowledge of giving back to service members who stand up for their country made the night of wrestling fun and worthwhile, with or without a giant crowd. “We aim at providing fun, wholesome wrestling,” White said. “We do not have any naked women, cussing or trash. We want to get back to the basics. We want to give quality entertainment to these Marines. “If not for the Marine Corps, I know our country would be in far worse shape,” White admitted. “They give so much without expecting anything in return. This was the least I could do.” A portion of the funds raised from the

Patriot Games was presented to the Wounded Warrior Battalion - East aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Regardless of the amount, White said every bit was given willingly. “I was so impressed with the group of Marines from Camp Geiger’s Single Marine Program,” said White. “I worked in wrestling almost 19 years, and I just want to give back something nice. This was my chance.” White and his wrestlers hope to return to Jacksonville for another set of Patriot Games in the future.

Thousands tuned in to watch the Carolina Panthers battle the Denver Broncos in Charlotte, N.C., Veterans Day weekend, but those who paid attention before the game
were in for much more than the eccentricities of a pre-game show. On the field of the Bank of America Stadium, filled with more than 73,000 fans, stood a formation comprised of every branch of the U.S. military. More than 40 service members, including 15 currently deployed
to Iraq shown on the stadium’s jumbo-tron, participated in a reenlistment ceremony promising further years of exemplary service to the U.S. The actual performance of the Carolina Panthers against the Denver Broncos was no match for the commanding presence displayed

With the help of the USO of North Carolina and the Panthers’ willingness to recognize veterans, a special reenlistment ceremony, led by Brigadier General Thomas A. Gorry, took place before the start of the Panthers’ game against the Denver Broncos.
by Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, Marine Corps Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s commanding general, and the group of soldiers, airmen, sailors and Marines standing before him. Gorry led the reenlistment ceremony for the group on the field and via satellite feed to the service members reenlisting in Iraq. “As an officer, any time you get to reenlist a Marine, sailor or airman it is a special day; so today is really a special day,” Gorry said. Amongst the formation in two neat rows were the nation’s finest, 10 Marines from Headquarters and Support Battalion, MCB Camp Lejeune. For a few of them this was their first reenlistment. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Also, we are honored to be here as an active-duty couple. We met in the Marine Corps, and this is both of
our first reenlistments,” said Cpl Corey A. Wolfe alongside his wife Cpl. Jenesssa N. Wolfe. The fortunate Marines who reenlisted before the game included: Cpl. Andrew R. Whitcomb, Lance Cpl. Jose D. Cervantes, Cpl. Francisco E. Frias, Cpl. Alyssa Destefano, Cpl. Jenessa N. Wolfe, Cpl. Corey A. Wolfe, Cpl. Justin A. Wilson, Cpl. Randy L. Moore, Sgt. Samuel R. Villafana, Staff Sgt. Roger Petersen. Making the ceremony happen required plenty of coordination, which began back in August. “The ceremony was joint effort of the military services, the United Service Organizations of North Carolina and the Carolina Panthers,” said John Falkenbury, the president of the USO of North Carolina. “Between the services, the USON.C., the satellite feed
and the Panthers, it took quite a bit of work.” In the end, all the work was worthwhile. As the service members walked out of the stadium’s tunnel a standing ovation welcomed them onto the artificial turf. “Seeing the reaction of the service members being honored made all the effort worth it,” added Falkenbury. These moments validate the great lengths the USO goes to partner with organizations like the Carolina Panthers to make these memories happen. “Thanks to the USO for sponsoring this, supporting Marines (and their) families. They are fantastic,” concluded Gorry. Despite the Panthers’ 36-14 loss to the Broncos, the day was a win for all the service members involved, creating a memory that will be carried longer than Willis McGahee will ever be able to run.

The Devil Pups won the game with a final score of 50–38 after seizing early control. (Right) Chryssandra Tatum (right) knocks the ball away from her opponents after tipoff at the start of the home game against the Pirates Friday. The LHS ladies started their season strong, with no plans of backing down any time soon. BASKETBALL FROM 1B “There is a lot of talent on the court and we can do a lot, but I didn’t want to set up any major expectations. While the Swansboro Pirates showed up ready to haul off with the Devil Pups’ bounty Friday night, Lejeune High School put up more of a fight than the pirates were prepared for. While the Lady Pups sank their first two shots within the first five minutes of the first period, Swansboro staged a comeback, taking control of the ball. Their temporary attempt at swaying the
course of the game wasn’t enough, leaving them trailing the Devil Pups 24 – 14 at the end of the first period. “We coasted through our first two wins of the season,” Popadines admitted. “Swansboro showed us a new level of competition, though, and we had to adjust. We learned if we don’t play well on both ends of the game we are going to struggle. They set out to make things difficult for us. “We have a strong starting line, but one of the nice things about this team is we can tweak
things, change the lineup, and still have a solid group on the court,” he added. “The girls have a good chemistry, and they mix well playing together.” When the Devil Pups regained control of the game, they refused to relinquish their lead again. Fans cheered from the stands as Chatori Major coasted down the court and sank several shots. With La-Antrea Lee holding down the fort with well-aligned shots and vengeance to keep the ball no matter what, the Lady Pups shut down the Pirates’ attempt
to win on Lejeune High School turf. With a final score of 50 – 38 the Lady Pups ran out the clock, using everything they knew to their advantage. “We have a lot of speed, strong shooters, and height on our side this year,” said Popadines. “It makes for a good mix of athletes.” Another thing the Devil Pups have on their side is assurance of a strong future for their program. The inception of a junior varsity ladies’ basketball program, coupled with the inaugural season for Brewster
Middle School’s athletic programs, could hold the key to a strong future for Lejeune High School. With the strength of the lady pups’ team this year, the coming seasons could bode big things for the face of sports at the high school. First, though, the Devil Pups will be working on staying focused on the court when things don’t go as planned. “We need to focus on getting our defense as strong as offense,” said Popadines after Lejeune’s win over Swansboro. “We have to stay right during the entire game,
not just as the beginning. Staying smart is a big part of what we’ll be working on in the next few weeks.” While the Devil Pups’ next home game is not until Jan. 4, several area away games will give fans the chance to the support the team. They will rematch the Swansboro Pirates tomorrow at 6 p.m. at Swansboro High School. For more information on Lejeune High School events visit www. am.dodea.edu/lejeune/ LHS/Pages/Calendar_ Bell.html.

Gunnery Sgt. Adam C. Smith, senior course instructor, leads the Staff Noncommissioned Officer Academy students for physical training. The Staff Noncommissioned Officer Academy places a heavy emphasis on physical training. Each class is broken down into ability groups in order to maximize each Marine’s workout.
STAFF SGT. ROBERT M. STORM 2nd Marine Division
T
he Staff Noncommissioned Officers Academy – just the name sends a mixture of feelings through most staff sergeants. The expectation of being a student and compared to fellow staff sergeants can be daunting, yet the course can be a revitalization of the Marine Corps core values of honor, courage and commitment. “It is a great opportunity for staff sergeants from a wide variety of different (military occupational specialties) to learn from each other,” said Gunnery Sgt. Quintina M. Pearson, a career course instructor. “I’d definitely suggest it for those who are hesitant. You work together so much. It pulls staff NCO’s together to help each other accomplish the course. It is the shared brotherhood and a chance to learn from staff sergeants from other units.” The staff noncommissioned officer academy course is not required for promotion to gunnery sergeant, but it does make a Marine more competitive, and with the military drawing down, every advantage is sought to earn promotion to the next rank.
“I like it, it pushes you,” said Staff Sgt. Zenaida Arredondo, a course student. “The physical training is motivating and the entire course just builds your confidence as a staff sergeant. Writing papers, working with your peers, and learning more advanced protocols of the Marine Corps - you definitely come away with something when you leave here. Even if you know the stuff they teach, you find out you don’t know it all and you can still learn more.” The course is focused on providing the skills needed for a staff sergeant with specialized education and leadership training. It teaches how to lead and develop junior Marines. Upon completion of the course, staff sergeants will have the skills to clearly articulate thoughts in both oral and written communication. They will understand more of the duties expected of a staff NCO and to be able to assume duties of greater responsibility. “We teach them to be ready for the next rank, this course is all voluntary, nobody is here who doesn’t want to be here,” said Gunnery Sgt. Adam C. Smith, senior course instructor. “A lot of Marines are scared to take this course, because they don’t want to fail and have it affect their careers, but in
the time I taught here we never failed anyone academically who truly put forth an effort. There is just too much help from the instructors and their peers.” The course length is 32 training days, not including check-in and graduation day, and the instructors are all gunnery or staff sergeants. Each class is roughly 120 students who are broken down into eight platoons, with an instructor for each platoon to give more detailed instruction. An importance is placed on physical training and workout sessions usually last two hours. Each platoon takes turns coordinating the workout on scheduled days, this allows a variation of workouts to be shared for Marines to take back to their respective units. Strength and endurance, speed and agility, obstacle course training and an endurance course are highlights with the training. The Marines hold competitions between platoons in order to build camaraderie. “Effort is important, the (physical training) we do here is what everybody should be doing in the fleet,” said Smith. “Our goal is to educate and show various workouts so these leaders can go back to their units and make their Marines stronger and faster.”
The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest decoration awarded to service members, and it’s not every day people can meet a Medal of Honor recipient. Marines and spouses aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune will have the opportunity Dec. 11. Retired Maj. Gen. James Livingston and retired Army Maj. Drew Dix are scheduled to visit MCB Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River next Wednesday and Thursday, they will speak with different units during their stay. They are also scheduled to meet with military families from the installations in the Russell Marine and Family Center to discuss the importance of the role spouses play in a military marriage next Thursday at 6 p.m. “It’s an opportunity to come out and meet two Medal of Honor recipients,” said Melissa Slater, a family readiness program manager with Marine Corps Community Services. “They’re going to speak words of encouragement, and that night they’re going to explain how the spouse’s role in a marriage is just as tough as their military husbands or wives.” Light hors d’oeuvres and non-alcoholic beverages will be served at the event, which Eric Carlson, a readiness and deployment support trainer with MCCS, hopes will be a conversational atmosphere. “They will explain their views on the important role the spouses have, and they will encourage dialogue between them and the audience,” said Carlson. This will mark the first time Medal of Honor recipients will visit various units aboard MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River. “We’ve had Medal of Honor recipients visit us before, but this is the first time the event was centered around them and their interaction with Marines and sailors,” said Slater. MCCS received positive feedback for the idea of the event, said Garrett Bridges, a readiness and deployment trainer with the program. He said people are excited to be able to hear from real-life Medal of Honor recipients and to hear their take on the role of the military spouse. “They’re very passionate about (speaking),” said Bridges, referring to Livingston and Dix. “It’s not like it is just a job for them. It’s something they want to do because the message is important, and it’s something they get very passionate about.” Slater and Bridges agreed one of the most important aspects of the upcoming event is Livingston and Dix will make sure military families understand it’s okay to ask for help if they need it. “We want to remove the stigma attached to asking for help,” said Bridges. “We are in the process of doing it, but we still have a long way to go. If anyone has an issue or a question, these two men will be able to answer.” Gia Velazquez, a supervisory family readiness program trainer with MCCS said, speaking from the standpoint of a military spouse, it’s a great thing to have them here and have someone remind them they have so much to endure being married to a service member. Marines, sailors or spouses interested in meeting Livingston and Dix need to register for the free event, in order to allow the coordinators to prepare. Free childcare will also be provided for families who have small children. Anyone interested can register by calling 451-0176. For more information visit mccslejeune.com.
Urinalysis for Marines, sailors aboard base to counter drug usage CAPT. BINFORD STRICKLAND II Marine Expeditionary Force
“Marines don’t do drugs,” stated Maj. Gen. Ray Fox, Commanding General II Marine Expeditionary Force, “and if they do, they’ll be out of our Corps.” Through the creation of a Counter Drug Task Force, Fox enacted the II MEF Counter Drug Campaign to preserve the force and its readiness. The II MEF Counter Drug Campaign will invoke an existing, cohesive partnership with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service Carolina Field Office, the Provost Marshal Office, MCI-EAST Security and Emergency Services, and 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion. Despite an already effective substance abuse program, the campaign, which reflects the service’s zero-tolerance policy, detects, disrupts and deters illegal drug use. The campaign supports the policy and is meant to have traumatic effects on the drug threat across the MEF. “The campaign is our commitment to the American people to preserve the most valuable treasure they have entrusted us … their sons and daughters,” said Fox, a 36-year Marine veteran. Fox ordered a MEF-wide urinalysis for the nearly 53,000 active-duty Marines and sailors Nov. 30. Samples were collected from men and women, and shipped for analysis before the end of the day as a part of the detection phase of the drug threat to II MEF.
“This is not a onetime event,” said Lt. Col. Eric Young, commanding officer for 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion, II MEF. “This is part of sustained deterrence efforts partnering with other law enforcement agencies across Camp Lejeune and in other locations. This is also the first of many law enforcement activities the task force will execute,” added Young. The basis for the urinalysis was beyond detection. “Drug networks threaten our Marines and sailors,” said Capt. Job Armenta, Counter Drug Task Force Officer in Charge. “They will be pursued just as aggressively as the enemy networks facing our men and women overseas,” he declared. In October, a Michigan man was charged after investigators said he was selling pot to Marines at Camp Lejeune. The arrest was made possible from a tip provided by NCIS to Michigan authorities indicating a Marine was transporting marijuana between Michigan and Camp Lejeune three times a month since early 2011. “The recently activated 2nd LEB provides the II MEF commander greater flexibility with deliberate, partnered counter drug focused efforts with law enforcement organizations outside the MEF,” Young explained. Results of this and future drug screenings will be published in subsequent articles. Marines and sailors are asked to join in this fight and report drug activity to our recently created Counter Drug Task Force at 450-9942.

Joint Holiday Reception brings Lejeune leaders, community closer LANCE CPL. JOSHUA W. GRANT Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Since 1941 the Marines aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune work hand-in-hand with local citizens to facilitate the needs either side may have. In that spirit the annual Joint Holiday Reception kicked off Dec. 1, and hundreds were in attendance from across the base and neighboring community.
Hosted by Maj. Gen. Raymond C. Fox, commanding general of II Marine Expeditionary Force, and Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, commanding general Marine Corps Installations East - Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the reception included county commissioners, leaders from across MCB Camp Lejeune and other distinguished guests. The event was hosted in order to bring the leaders of MCB Camp Lejeune and the most influential
people from the local community into one place to show appreciation for the combined efforts of both. “It’s our way of saying thank you, and it’s our way of saying happy holidays to the community,” said Gorry. “We share a common bond; this capitalizes on the relationship we share with the community.” The base creates a partnership, it gets everyone working together. The reception is a great way to meet with those everyone works
with and say thank you, as well as to celebrate the holidays, said Paul Buchanan, vice chairman for the Onslow County Commissioner’s office. “It brings us all closer together and it fosters a great relationship for continued support,” added Buchanan. Along with the II Marine Aircraft Wing Band, a Toys for Tots donation point was established at the event accepting gifts from any guest who arrived. “All the commissioners take it
upon themselves to donate, especially to Toys for Tots. We’re all great supporters of the organization,” said Buchanan. Whether it was for a simple act of giving, a time to meet with co-workers, or just a day to spend sharing the holiday spirit with the most influential people from the community, the many people who attended the Joint Holiday Reception were very thankful for the combined efforts of local communities and the base.

Students from Tarawa Terrace Elementary trot past as part of the annual Combined Federal Campaign walk aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Nov. 16. The students raised more than $1,700 for the Wounded Warrior Family Support, Inc., exceeding their goal of $1,000.
Every year service members take the opportunity to donate to hundreds of charities through the Combined Federal Campaign. With the annual CFC walk at Tarawa Terrace Elementary School in the housing area aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the students are able to donate their time and efforts and help the community alongside their parents. Students pre-kindergarten through 2nd grade began the year with a simple goal - to raise money for an undecided charity. The drive to help and a competitive nature pushed the students to raise $1,743.89. An original goal of just $1,000 was surpassed through the avid collection of change by the students. The funds raised were eventually chosen to help the Wounded Warrior Family Support, Inc. “We do it every year as a way to give back to the community, and in honor and celebration of service members and their families,” said Leigh-Anne Kapiko, principal for Tarawa Terrace Elementary. “The kids get a sense of helping and giving back, but they also get a sense of security in case one of their parents needs help.” Kapiko added it’s a great opportunity for the entire community, and sometimes people don’t realize

children can lend a hand just as well as adults. Donations were brought in by the students and some reached out to the community to help collect. Hernandez added one student put a jar at her father’s work and collected quarter’s everyday at lunch. “We also did a weekly cotton candy sale,” said Dianne Hernandez, office clerk for Tarawa Terrace Elementary. “The students were told during the announcements everyday who was winning so it kept them competitive.” The students were highly motivated through the act of giving, but a king and queen from each class were appointed for being the biggest collector. Five-year-old Savannah Briley was the biggest raiser from Mrs. Krockel’s kindergarten class and wore her crown during the walk. Briley donated over $100, but her selfless giving didn’t stop with the collections. Minutes into the walk, Briley compassionately handed her crown over to another student. “I helped to make sure the wounded warriors get better,” said Briley. “I took my crown off and gave it to my friend because her father got hurt.” Every year the CFC collects donations for thousands of charities through the generosity of federal employees like service members and the annual CFC walk at Tarawa Terrace Elementary is just another example of the thoughtful donating which continues with the help of the students.

Students unite for holiday production AMY BINKLEY
Assistant managing editor
Beware bah-humbugs, and spread Christmas cheer, for a cast of familiar characters will soon be near. The Ghosts of Christmas-es Past, Present and Future are haunting the halls of Lejeune High School in preparation for Lejeune Theatre Guild’s production of “A Christmas Carol” with accompaniment from the LHS Music Department at the school aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Dec. 14 and 15. “I try to choose family friendly fare the community will come out and support,” Steven Barker, LHS theater and English instructor, explained. “We are the community theatre of the base and are trying to bring them great entertainment at a good value.” Adapted from Charles Dickens’ classic tale, the play follows the character of Ebenezer Scrooge, a stingy,
old man whose heart is hardened to even a trace of happiness. He’s the world’s worst boss, an absent uncle and a social recluse. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge receives a visit from three ghosts who reveal through different times in his life his slow descent into the miserable man he’s become. His choice to change or remain the same makes him a timeless character, and one audiences can relate to. “’A Christmas Carol’ seemed very relevant with all the talk of classes and taxes, rich, middle class and poor,” Barker noted of his production choice. “It gave us an opportunity to explore current issues within the context of a classic story. Affordable healthcare, living wages (and other relatable issues) come to light in Dickens’ story.” The student actors and musicians worked tirelessly for weeks learning lines, building sets and making sure to capture the essence of the story that inspired generations of audiences. “These actors have put every available moment into this play,” said stage manager Anna Johansen. “They’ve put their all into it. Their dedication to this production should be enough to get people to fill the seats.” SEE PLAY 7D Photo by Amy Binkley

‘Life of Pi’ breaks movie mold as sun sets on ‘Twilight’ Now playing at Jacksonville “LIFE OF PI” (PG) “Life of Pi” is an epic fantasy adventure based on the best-selling book by the same name. The magical story plays out on the Pacific Ocean, where a young boy survives a disaster at sea where he is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. New-comer Suraj Sharma stars as Piscine Molitor “Pi” Patel, an Indian boy from Pondicherry and a zookeeper’s precarious son, who explores issues of spirituality and practicality from an early age. When his family decides to leave India for Canada, they hitch a ride on a huge freighter also carrying animals from the zoo they owned. During a terrible storm, his entire family is lost at sea and Pi is the only human survivor after the freighter sinks. He finds himself shipwrecked with a wounded zebra, a vicious hyena, a friendly orangutan called Orange Juice, and a magnificent Bengali tiger named Richard Parker. Adrift in the Pacific on a 26-foot lifeboat, Pi has to defend himself against the animals and the epic forces of nature; however he eventually forms an unexpected connection with the fearsome tiger. They both survive for 227 days, constantly fighting to stay alive while connecting on a deep level. Irrfan Khan (“Slumdog Millionaire”) portrays the
Older Pi and narrator of this fictional story. Also appearing are Gerard Depardieu (“Babylon A.D.”) as the French cook, Rafe Spall (“Prometheus”) as the Writer, and Tabu (“The Namesake”) as Pi’s mother. Academy Award winner director Ang Lee (“Brokeback Mountain,” “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) created a groundbreaking movie event, successfully adapting this inspiring tale from the 2001 beloved novel by Yann Martel. Nobody believed this Booker Prize-winning best-seller, in which Pi calls religion and zoology his salvation, could be turned into a movie. Lee used a real tiger in combination with computer generated images and filmed the movie in spectacular 3-D. “Life of Pi” is a harrowing high seas drama, a highly spiritual and amazing visual feast, and an exquisite state-of-the-art triumph. It’s an absolutely enchanting and thrilling movie experience. “THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 2” (PG-13) “Breaking Dawn-Part 2” is the last chapter in the epic love story between Bella and Edward. This fifth installment concludes the blockbuster franchise, based on the best-selling book series created by Stephanie Meyer. The story picks up after Bella’s life-threatening labor of her newborn

However, when the Volturi clan learns of the baby’s existence, they declare her to be an abomination and sentence the Cullens to death. Bella, Edward and the rest of the Cullen clan seek help from allies around the world to protect their family. They gather other vampire clans in order to protect the child from a false allegation that puts the family in front of the Volturi.

More than 70 uniquely decorated Christmas trees stand on display during the 10th Festival of Trees at the American Legion Building in Jacksonville, N.C., Dec. 1. Local businesses, civic organizations, churches and individuals participated in adorning the live trees to help in the annual fundraiser for Onslow Caregivers who support Onslow County Home Health and Hospice. (Below) A military child gets in the holiday spirit as an elf at the Festival of Trees Dec. 1.
Festival of Trees celebrates decade of caregiving AMY BINKLEY
Assistant managing editor
When Jean Cole’s daughter was diagnosed with cancer, she knew there was nothing she could do to help her physically so she decided to lift her spirits instead. She flew to her home and decorated a Christmas tree with the love and attention only a mother can give while taking on the role of caretaker. Soon, her daughter went into remission, and Cole’s faith in the power of such a simple act inspired her to help others in the same manner. More than 5,000 people entered a winter wonderland at the American Legion Building in Jacksonville, N.C., to celebrate a decade of comfort and joy at the Onslow Caregivers’ Annual Festival of Trees Dec. 1 through 3. “I was taught a long time ago that helping people is the best work of life,” Cole, co-chair for the event, stated. “This is
my legacy.” Lining the inside perimeter were more than 70 live trees decorated by local businesses, civic organizations, churches and individuals who donated their time and effort to assist with the fundraiser for the patients of Onslow County Home and Hospice. “This is a grassroots effort by every day people, both military and civilian,” explained Cole. “We take care of the people who slip through the cracks because they have nothing.” Brooke Morgan was invited to bring her collection of cards and calendars to the event for the first time, and her surprise of the attendance and professionalism shown by everyone was evident. “I’ve been blown away by what a tight-knit community this is,” she admitted. “Everyone seems to be very supportive. These trees are to die for. I was not expecting this.” The event took months
to prepare for, and although the cause is sobering, the community never fails to bring a lighthearted approach to the celebration. With themes ranging from Frosty Dreams to No Peeking, guests saw extravagant embellishments adorning trees, including those covered in poinsettias, support ribbons and candy. The Onslow County Beekeepers Association got creative with their tree by covering it with gold ornaments, honey jars and, of course, the queen bee sitting on top. Other organizations chose to use their trees as memorials, including the popular Military Chapter of the Purple Hearts and Rolling Thunder trees whose ornaments feature the names of service members who sacrificed their lives this year as well as prisoners of war. The Montford Point Marines Association also made their presence known for a second year at the
festival with their Congressional Gold Medal on display next to their tree. “Our tree is decorated with pictures of the original Montford Point Marines,” said Alice Shinal. “There are still a lot of people who don’t know about us.” The influence of the military is not lost on the citizens of Onslow County, and a special tree in the middle of the room stood as a reminder of the special bond the two communities share. The Young Marines of Swansboro and Hubert garnished the tree in simple red and gold ornaments in SEE TREES 7D

Maynia scores big win at Artie Awards AMY BINKLEY

et’s get ready to rumble. The competition was tough as several of Onslow County’s events and festivals went head-tohead on the makeshift field at the Farmers Market building for the 6th Artie Awards in Jacksonville, N.C., Nov. 30. Presented by the Onslow County Tourism Advisory Board, guests donned the jerseys and colors of their alma maters and favorite college teams for the football-themed event, complete with a score board and goal posts. “No matter your favorite team, we’re all part of Team Onslow,” announced Lisa Whitman-Grice, the event emcee and executive director of Onslow County Museum. “It’s all about team spirit, and today,
we’re here to celebrate you.” The Artie Awards seek to honor the tireless work of hundreds of workers and volunteers who make each event in Onslow County a success. “It’s impossible to do these events without the help of the volunteers,” said Million Heir-Williams, interim director the Jacksonville-Onslow County Chamber of Commerce. While the 42nd Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival, Haunted Downtown Jacksonville and several Swansboro festivities walked away with arms full of awards, it was Marine Corps Community Services that scored the big prize as Maynia was named the Event of the Year. “I am honored and very excited for the whole Team Maynia because I couldn’t do such an event without all the people who help me,” confessed Shirley Weaver, event director. “(It) is such a wonderful event
and gives the opportunity for (MCB Camp Lejeune) to invite civilians to join with us and have a wonderful time together.” Kim Oliver, MCCS director, was thrilled to hear the news of the victory. “I think this award recognizes not only the value of an event such as Maynia to the community, but also all of the hard work that goes into the planning and execution of the event,” she noted. “It is a well-oiled machine.

Don’t whine this holiday season LT. DOYL MCMURRY
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Now that the hubbub of one holiday is over and the other is just beginning, I had some time to reflect. As Thanksgiving dinners were finished, and thoughts turned to football – or “Black Friday” – could it be we also lost sight, even just for a moment, of what “Thanksgiving” truly means? Isn’t it ironic some of the folks who gathered with family and friends around a home cooked meal, and who shared thoughts and prayers of thankfulness may have been some of the same ones who pushed, shoved and fought to get their hands on that “must-have” DVD or new flat-screen TV? As I reflected on this, I came across a poem from many years ago illustrating a different perspective: “Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely girl with golden hair; I envied her – she seemed so happy, and how I wished I were so fair. “When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle; She had one foot and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile. Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two feet, the world is mine. “And when I stopped to buy some sweets, the lad who served me had such charm; he seemed to radiate good cheer, his manner was so kind and warm. “I said, ‘It’s nice to deal with you, such courtesy I seldom find;’ he turned and said, ‘Oh, thank you sir.’ And then I saw that he was blind. Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two eyes, the world is mine. “Then, when walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue; he stood and watched the others play, it seemed he knew not what to do; I stopped a moment, then I said, ‘Why don’t you join the others, dear?’ “He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he could not hear. Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two ears, the world is mine. “With feet to take me where I’d go; with eyes to see the sunsets glow, with ears to hear what I would know. I am blessed indeed. The world is mine; oh God, forgive me when I whine.” May our voices be raised in this holiday season, not because of what we don’t have or what we want to have, but in thankfulness and praise to the one who provides everything we need – and sometimes, even those things we may want, as well.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Veterinary Treatment Facility is scheduled to hold a Holiday Pet Parade, where contests, raffles and much more will be held to benefit retired military working dogs and homeless pets in Onslow County Dec. 8 from noon to 3 p.m. in front of the Tarawa Tarrace veterinary clinic. All money donated will go toward the health concerns of military working dogs and for preparing homeless pets for adoption through vaccinations, spaying and neutering.
Puppies to go on parade LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA

Wet noses, wagging tails and fluffy fur are welcome to the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Veterinary Treatment Facility’s upcoming Holiday Pet Parade. The event will feature contests and raffles, and much more will be included to benefit retired military working dogs and homeless pets in Onslow County Dec. 8 from noon to 3 p.m. in front of the veterinary clinic in Tarawa Tarrace. “It’s a fundraiser and a community event,” said Army Sgt. Dawn Torrisi, the noncommissioned officer in charge of the MCB Camp Lejeune Veterinary Treatment Facility. Pets will be paraded with prizes for the best-dressed, coolest tricks, best singers and pets that look like their owner. Veterinarians will be available to answer questions and clinicians will be on hand to trim pets’ nails for free and microchip pets with all fees waived except for the
microchip companies’ lifetime registration fee. However the first 10 participants will receive the registration for free. A raffle is scheduled with prizes such as jewelry, horse rides and gift certificates for local pet shops. Tickets can be purchased now at the vet clinic and participants do not have to be present to win. Military working dogs are important to the clinic. They take care of the dogs and work with their handlers every day. “Many military working dogs do five or six tours to Afghanistan or Iraq before they retire,” said Torrisi. “When they retire they usually have health issues. When we find a home for them it can be expensive to take care of them. This fundraiser will help provide financial assistance for medications. A lot of the people who adopt working dogs have worked with them.” She continued, “After deploying three or four times with their dogs, some handlers want to take them home, but a corporal can’t afford some of the medications,
so the idea is to raise money to help them pay for them. We don’t want to separate them because of finances.” Money will be donated to homeless pets so they can be spayed and neutered along with taking care of health concerns to reduce the financial burden to prospective owners. “We want to be able to help people responsibly adopt their pets,” said Torrisi. The area will be roped off, but there will be no fencing, so pets must be on a leash or in a crate. “We want everyone to have fun while gaining an awareness of military working dogs,” said Michelle Cribb, the office manager of the clinic. Pamphlets will be available, as well as veterinarians and veterinarian technicians to answer questions. Torrisi said she wants people to learn about responsible pet ownership through the event. Pet food, toys, treats or any other pet items can be left at the clinic throughout December to donate to local shelters.

PLAY FROM 1D Carson Coates tackled the iconic Scrooge in his first lead role at LHS. “I learned a lot about playing someone very different than myself,” he admitted. “(Being a part of the Lejeune Theatre Guild) is a good alternative to playing sports. It’s important to be involved in something with school that isn’t (academics). We have the opportunity to learn a lot. It’s leadership training in a way.” Coates also pointed out how the base is a community, and when audiences come to see the show, they are supporting not only the program but the school itself. Returning to the stage is veteran actress Kate Donnellan as the Ghost of Christmas Present. “This character is all about fun and enjoying Christmas the way it’s meant to be,” she confessed. “A lot of people forget how to do it.” As an adaptation of the book rather than another play, the performance includes more narration, making it easier to understand. “It’s a show a lot of kids will enjoy,” Donnellan said. “When the kids get excited about something like this, it’s rewarding.” Katerina Romero will make her theatrical debut as the Ghost of Christmas Past. “I like the story and the way Scrooge’s character changes,” she replied when asked why she auditioned for the role. “We’re putting a twist on it and making it a bit more modern.”
If you’re wondering what sets this production apart from other local performances of the same chronicle, consider the facts. The play is student-lead, includes the talents of the entire Music Department and casts faculty members in the major role of the Ghost of Christmas Future. “The integration of the two (Theatre and Music) departments is incredibly exciting. We are blending the Christmas play and the Christmas Concert into one big celebration of the holiday season. It is an experience that should not be missed,” Barker stated. “The decision to involve staff from different schools is an opportunity to reach out to the entire community. Plus it’s fun to have adults come in and act with the students.” Audiences will have three opportunities to see the show in the LHS Auditorium at 7 p.m. Dec. 14, and 2 and 7 p.m. Dec. 15. Admission is $6 for students ages 5 to 18 and $8 for adults. A family four-pack is $35. A pack may also be purchased for a Wounded Warrior and family as a donation for $35. “I want the audience to walk away with a heart-warming experience reminding them of the true meaning of Christmas not of material gift giving, but of peace on earth and goodwill towards men,” Barker said. “It’s what Christmas meant in Dickens’ times, and it’s what it can still mean today.” For more information call 451-2451 ext. 204.
AWARDS FROM 5D they do, and it shows,” Oliver said. “We are proud to have the MCCS name attached to three of this year’s Arties.” Other military events also fared well. The Marine Corps Half Marathon won the Best Event T-Shirt in the small division, and the 7th Run for the Warriors event took home several Artie Awards.
