Retiree council seeks widows

CPL. CHARLIE CLARK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Military Retiree Council Widow Support Committee was scheduled to meet at Craig Hall at the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 16 building located at 300 Sherwood Road, Jacksonville, at press time through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The committee’s plan was to discuss problems widows face after their loved one passes and makes recommendations to the Department of Defense on how to improve the process on a national level. “We are trying to figure out what the needs of the widowers are,” said Ret. Col. Paul W. O’Toole, a retiree council member. “I’m a realist. We have people on the committee with a lot of experience, but we need people who have been widows since 30 years ago, five years ago and recently, who struggled to find answers to attend the meeting so we can figure out what their needs were and are.” The term “widow” is meant as the spouse involved and/or the children. It is not the objective of the support committee to be the standing point of contact for individuals to seek solutions to their specific problems. In the experience of the retiree council, there are many difficulties for people seeking assistance to their problems, O’Toole said. During the meeting, the committee planned to discuss how the death of active-duty service members, military retirees, honorably discharged military veterans and civil servicemen and women will affect the families of the deceased. To identify the problem, committee members are requesting input from the military community. Examples of both strengths and weaknesses of the process currently in place need to be given. “We need widows who have lived through this, of course, but we also would like to see families who will face these problems someday,” O’Toole said. If a sufficient attendance and response is given, a request will be sent to have DOD representatives at a future meeting in the Jacksonville area. If only a minimal response, the committee will not send a request. For more information, contact Luis Alers, a committee representative, at luis.alers@ usmc.mil or call 4510287.

Realistic training prepares amphibious assault vehicles PFC. JOSE MENDEZ JR.

Fort A.P. Hill is some of the best, well-rounded training we can get on the East Coast. Great for us before we go out to do an ITX, MEU or deployment.

2nd Marine Division

After nearly a seven-hour bus trip from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marines with third platoon, Company C, 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, readied their amphibious assault vehicles for training at Army Base Fort A.P. Hill, Va. The training at Fort A.P. Hill concluded June 3, and the Marines of third platoon knew they needed to take advantage of every moment. “The advantages of Fort A.P. Hill are significant. You can’t get this in Camp Lejeune,” said 2nd Lt. Ryan C. Spangler, the third platoon commander. “We can maneuver off-road and on-road. We can use High Explosive Dual Purpose grenades rounds on certain ranges. Overall, it’s a much larger facility we get to train on compared to Camp Lejeune.”

2nd Lt. Ryan C. Spangler, third platoon commander AA Bn. has different levels of gunnery training. Third platoon spent two days conducting Level 5000 Mission Essential Task training. Level 5000 training consists of assaulting an objective as a whole platoon using all 12 of their AAVs, said Staff Sgt. Brent Wade, the platoon sergeant for third platoon. “Typically you can only get this type of training at Twentynine Palms during an (Integrated Training Exercise),” said Wade. “I think it’s a big deal for

the Marines maneuvering as a platoon at this level and getting live-fire opportunities.” Throughout the exercise, .50caliber machine guns and 40mm grenade launchers echoed through the training grounds as the Marines became more comfortable with maneuvering, firing and working as a platoon. “Training over (at Fort A.P. Hill) captures a much more realistic aspect of maneuvering AAVs, employing their weapon systems and conducting offensive

La familia: CLB-6 Marines share ‘last supper’ before deployment 2ND LT. JOHN PARRY

2nd Marine Logistics Group

La familia. The Marine Corps’ most powerful tool has long been its camaraderie, described as fanatical by some. Marines come from diverse backgrounds, regions and even nationalities, but all share the common bond forged through intense training. And, unlike any other military branch, the Marines exalts its members to the extent that it does not distinguish between service and membership in name - Marines. Once the title’s earned, a Marine does not lose this distinction even upon reentry into the civilian community. As part of this distinct ethos, Marine units traditionally gather for an evening meal known as “Warrior Night” before heading off to war. Combat Logistics Battalion 6, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, recently partook in this tradition following the completion of its Integrated Training Exercise here, June 6. “Whether you get out of the

Marine Corps after this tour or spend the next 30 years of your life in the Marine Corps - you’ve made a contribution and made your life better,” said Lt. Col. Brian Mullery, the commanding officer of CLB-6, “Your legacy is to go deploy, give your best every single day, and come back better, faster, stronger and with the experience.” The battalion will set off for Operation Enduring Freedom in the coming months. Along with their infantry, artillery and air counterparts, the Marines worked on combined arms training at ITX to prepare for the upcoming deployment. They spent six weeks in the field under intense evaluation by instructors who go by the name ‘Coyotes’ and received excellent marks despite intense scrutiny. The meal, which also served as reward for more than 500 personnel, consisted of steaks, chicken and corn on the cob. Dessert was also served, but at the expense of friendly jabs by their fellow service members for being “nasty,” rooted in the idea

that a Marine who’s out of shape may not be able to keep up with his or her peers. Contributing to the bonding experience, the battalion’s Marines also intermixed and sat with portions of their peer group they may not have known as well. Sgt. Maj. Roger Griffith, the battalion sergeant major and an experienced infantryman who’s deployed numerous times throughout his career, led the Marines in tribute to the sacrifices of their fore-bearers on the anniversary of the beach landings at Normandy, June 6, 1944. “It’s good to be the hunter,” said Griffith. “But do not forget on 6 June - on days like today to push the pause button sometimes around your family ... They were the same age you are right now, and for most of them, it was probably their first war.” “You stood up, raised your hand when all of your peers did not and said – Send me! I’ll go!” Griffith added. “That’s what you did. And that’s why you’re here right now, and that’s why you’re part of this family – la familia.”

tactics,” said Spangler. “This trains the Marines to understand the capabilities and limitations of the vehicle.” Third platoon prepared throughout the year to conduct this training. “Crew-level, section-level and platoon-level training. You go through all of the levels,” said Wade. “First the single (AAV) crew, then section level training so each section leader controls his section, then what we’re doing now, having all sections work together in a platoon element.” This training is one of the few times AA Bn. has come out to Fort A.P. Hill to take advantage of the training grounds provided. “Fort A.P. Hill is some of the best, well-rounded training we can get on the East Coast,” said Spangler. “Great for us, before we go out to do an ITX, MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit) or deployment.”

MCCS hands shears to American Clipper for future military haircuts CPL. CHARLIE CLARK

Marine Corps Base camp Lejeune

Barbershops currently managed by Marine Corps Community Services throughout Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune will be transfered to a contracted service provider called American Clipper, June 30. American Clipper currently operates 92 barbershops aboard military installations, under different names. This conversion is part of a corporate contract that will soon involve every Marine Corps installation around the world, initiated and approved by the Semper Fit and Exchange Services Division of Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps. Currently, a basic haircut aboard

Camp Lejeune is $6. This price will increase to $8 under the contractor. While the contractor’s full pricelist is not yet known, prices for additional services are anticipated to be adjusted accordingly. MCCS is currently not able to offer a debit/credit card option. The contractor will bring in a new point of sale system to each barbershop allowing customers to pay with major credit and debit cards. The barbers will no longer be MCCS employees after June 29, but a number of employment options will be made available. All of the current barbers will be or have already been offered positions with the contractor. Some would like to remain MCCS employees in a different capac-

ity. MCCS will accommodate them when and wherever possible. At this time, the current barbershop locations will continue to operate under the usual hours of operation. Changes may be made to these hours as part of a regular review of business operations. There may be a few cosmetic changes initially, however all barbershops will undergo some renovations. Additional improvements, such as the point of sale system upgrade, will be made as needed. The contract also requires periodic refresh and renovation upgrades to all shops.

An inside look at a day in the life of Marines aboard USS Carter Hall The morning of an amphibious launch aboard the USS Carter Hall feels slightly unreal; there’s an odd and slightly dreamlike quality to it. Wake up is at 4 a.m. – the 1MC, a ship-wide public announcement system, which usually lies dormant from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., goes off early, announcements ringing through halls still red lit and empty. Early risers swing through the chow hall to scarf down breakfast, muffins and bagels, easily prepared and rapidly eaten. They eat quickly and head to grab their stuff. It’s game time. The ship goes to launch condition – flooding the ballast tanks and the well deck. Marines trooping down to the vehicle bay, laden with the accoutrements of our trade: flak vests and Kevlar helmets, carrying packs half their size, sweating and swearing under the weight of their gear. Throwing everything they need in the amphibious assault vehicles that’ll carry them to shore. The flight-suited crews of the AAVs ready their machines to splash as the 1MC reports readiness conditions that echo through the bay. AAVs, and their role in amphibious assault doctrine, date back to World War II, where the Marine Corps used their predecessors, landing vehicle, tracked, to great effect in landing Marines on hard-fought islands across the Pacific, fighting the Japanese for every inch of dirt. Their nickname, tracks, comes from the term amphibious tractor, used to describe those early vehicles. Marines clamber up and down the tracks,

hulking green armored vehicles the size of tanks, corrugated armor bolted to the sides, antennae and turrets protruding at seemingly odd intervals. The AAV bay is brightly lit, in contrast to the darkness of the early morning outside. The lights of the cities along the coast and the faint outlines of the mountains are barely visible in the predawn gloom. The smell of fuel and oil and grease and the sea get everywhere as the crewmen call out to each other, opening and closing hatches and engine ports, making their tracks ready for sea. Dogging down all the hatches and preparing to drop into the waiting arms of the ocean. Radios come online as the engines roar to life, Marines slotting into their hatches, their turrets, taking position at the starting line and waiting for the gun. The sky outside gradually brightens as the tracks roll down the ramp to the final dropoff, to the false beach that marks the end of the ship and the beginning of the sea. They stand by as the ship maneuvers into position, heading downwind, aiming the stern toward the beach landing zone. Radios crackle, Marines talking to each other in what sounds like perfect nonsense to the uninitiated. The ship gives the goahead, tracks start roaring, speeding toward the end and dropping off the false beach into the water, submerging for an instant before resurfacing and accelerating into the choppy waves of the bay, water spraying from the jets pushing the track along. They file off, one by one, lines moving forward, waiting their turn to splash.

First responders train 26th MEU supports Eager Lion for aquatic crises CPL. KYLE N. RUNNELS

CPL. CHARLIE CLARK

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Approximately 35 personnel were certified as operational-level first responders after completing training as Facility Response Team members during a five-day course aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently. Affects of oil and hazardous spills impact the flora and fauna in long and short term, disastrous forms such as pollution, mutations and destruction of the ecosystem. According to Marine Corps Order P5090.2A, the Marine Corps shall prepare to respond to Marine Corps Oil and Hazardous Substance spill incidents and undertake immediate direct action to minimize the effect of the release of hazardous substance into the environment. Response teams are composed of environmental and fire personnel from aboard Camp Lejeune. These courses are designed for domestic and overseas locations. Domestic instruction includes U.S. Coast Guard regulations, while the overseas course emphasizes local regulations in place of U.S. regulations. Courses are site specific and instruct team members to execute the sensitive area protection strategies outlined in their Facility Response Plan, understand regulations involving oil spills and how to contain and recover oil on water. The course instructors provided classroom instruction to the students. Later, they practiced their response plans near the Wallace Creek Bridge while utilizing boats to maneuver their hazardous substance prevention tools and equipment. The training is designed to familiarize team members with spill response equipment and exercise strategies for shore line protection and sensitive areas. The instructors grade the students on overall response posture, response plan effectiveness or deficiencies, sensitive area protection strategy and equipment operational status or deficiencies. This information helps managers improve their response program and the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center to provide any additional material support required. The response team is responsible for the protection of 42 miles of publically accessible coast line. Having a response team aboard Camp Lejeune ensures immediate response if an on-water release would occur. The students’ interaction during the course taught them how to react during a mishap and how to act as a cohesive unit in a time of crisis. The next training is slated for May 2014 when the students from this class will be recertified and more first responders will be trained for any mishap aboard base and on the waterways.

Marines and sailors assigned to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and sailors assigned to the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group, participated in bilateral and multilateral training evolutions in various parts of Jordan during exercise Eager Lion, recently. “As with all theater security cooperation exercises, the focus for all training is bilateral and multilateral training,” said Col. Matthew G. St. Clair, 26th MEU commanding officer. “There is a rather large exercise force from the Jordanian Armed Forces that participated in the exercise. The (Marine Air-Ground Task Force) had the 77th Jordanian Infantry Battalion that is under the tactical control of the MEU. We have also received tactical control from 4/2 Commando who are British Royal Marines.” The United Kingdom and Jordanian armed forces worked side-by-side with the U.S. Forces to enhance ties developed between the three countries. “Bilateral training allows us to expand our partnership capacity with the Jordanians,” said St. Clair. “The Marine Corps has a very long and a very healthy relationship with the Jordanian Armed Forces. The Marine Corps has been training Jordanian infantry battalions that will eventually deploy to Afghanistan. We have been doing that for several years. It is a very powerful relationship between Jordanian and U.S. (military), so this will further develop our relationships.”

The USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), ported in Aqaba, Jordan, during the offloading for Exercise Eager Lion, June 7. Exercise Eager Lion 2013 is an annual, multinational exercise designed to strengthen military-to-military relationships and enhance security and stability in the region by responding to realistic, modern-day security scenarios. This is a recurring exercise. The 26th MEU is deployed to the 5th Fleet area of operations as part of the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group. While actively participating in the multitude of ranges and urban operations planned for the exercise, the Marines and sailors of the 26th MEU will also be conducting sustainment training. “Sustainment training, while ashore, is extremely important,” said St. Clair. “While embarked on ship the opportunities to train are very limited. We are limited in the live-fires we can execute and we certainly can’t pull our vehicles out to practice convoy operations. The longer we stay on ship” (the longer we are away from perfecting our skills). The opportunity to conduct training ashore allows us to focus and sharpen our skills on the 12 mission essential tasks we have to be able to execute as a crisis response force in theater.” While planning an exercise of this magnitude, especially in a country mostly unfamiliar to many of the Marines and sailors,

many considerations must be taken into account. The safety of the troops involved is always the number one priority. “We began planning for this exercise before we even composited as a MEU,” said St. Clair. “The MAGTF will be split up among three different sites. We had to make sure to take [medical evacuations] into consideration and make sure we had plans on how to get the Marines from the northern most training area down to the southern training area where we will have all of our medical stations set up. In the south we have our Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical System which provides a level two medical capability ashore. If we have severe injury on a live-fire range, in less than 30 minutes, we will be able to get that casualty to the ERSS [quickly] to stabilize the patient.” As always, at the end of the day, every exercise is about furthering confidence

in skills and understanding lessons learned. The commanding officer said by having our Marines train with foreign nations gives them a chance to better understand foreign cultures. He said most Marines will walk away with the knowledge there are a lot of similarities between different militaries; ranging from big things like tactical techniques and procedures, to little things like maintaining proper uniform appearance and standing different posts. He said he hopes they learn the similarities between different militaries and they gain confidence in working with foreign counterparts if ever put into that position in future operations. Exercise Eager Lion 2013 is an annual, multinational exercise designed to strengthen military-tomilitary relationships and enhance security and stability in the region by responding to modern-day security scenarios.

Hill, Va. recently. A terrain model is a physical model of an area on a map used for strategic purposes.

AABn refreshes in land navigation PFC. JOSE MENDEZ JR. 2nd Marine Division

Three sergeants with third platoon, Company C, 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, came up with a productive way to make downtime a learning opportunity at Fort A.P. Hill, Va., recently. Sgt Andrew Hull, first section leader, Sgt. Osmel Delgado, second section leader, and Sgt. Matthew R. Sanville, third section leader, refreshed their Marines memory and skills with a land navigation class and course, as well as a terrain model exercise. “At the moment we didn’t have anything to do so we basically looked into what will benefit our Marines the most and a lot of them really don’t have much training on

terrain models,” said Hull. “We know that during Integrated Training Exercise we will be making multiple (terrain models) for different operations we take part in, and teaching them now will make our lives easier in the future.” During the ITX, in fall 2013 at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., Marines with AA Bn. will be working with different units from 2nd Marine Division including some infantry, tank and artillery units. First, Marines were tasked with creating a terrain model based on a section of a map the sergeants chose. The Marines were told to only use items found in the surrounding areas to create the model such as grass, sand and rocks.

After one hour of construction to create the terrain model the platoon commander 2nd Lt. Ryan C. Spangler, and platoon sergeant Staff Sgt. Brent Wade, reviewed what the Marines created. With the platoon commander and platoon sergeant pleased with the Marines display it was time for land navigation to begin. Prior to releasing Marines into the woods with a map, compass and coordinates, Delgado held a brief 40-minute land navigation refresher class. “I taught them how to get a pace count, proper usage of the compass and its nomenclature, azimuth and what to do if they were to get lost,” said Delgado. The Marines were released in groups of threes and fours to find three coordinates

hidden in the woods. The locations were identified with codes marked on cardboard that the Marines had to write down to assure they were found correctly. “I believe the training was immensely helpful. They learned a lot, made an amazing terrain model and found most of the points in land navigation,” said Hull. “Now they know what they did wrong and what they can do better the next time.” Marines of third platoon can look forward to constructing more terrain models and participating in additional land navigation courses during downtime in their schedules. “Everything we did today is a perishable skill so basically our Marines were rusty,” said Delgado. “This is something that we want to keep doing to make ourselves better.”

MPF’s courage, motivation accomplishes mission LANCE CPL. SHAWN VALOSIN 2nd Marine Logistics Group

Once cargo leaves the Beach Operations Group it is taken to a staging area where members of the Arrival and Assembly Operations Element, AAOE, can process and make necessary repairs to equipment prior to ground forces receiving it. This small group, comprised of service members with a menagerie of specialties, acted as the AAOE during a Marine Prepositioning Exercise recently. They relied heavily on the sailors who were loading equipment from the United States Naval Ship Dahl, which was anchored 10 miles offshore. Rough seas caused setbacks for the Marines and sailors involved in the exercise, as it was unsafe to load cargo onto lighterage vessels during swells. “It’s been a great experience to work with service members from other military occupational specialties. We all got to learn about each other’s job and worked together to accomplish the (Marine

Prepositioning Force) mission,” said Sgt. Agustin Molinanavarro, a platoon sergeant with Supply Company, 2nd Supply Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, who acted as the supply chief for the AAOE. “Participants took on tasks that they normally wouldn’t handle. By using that motivation and courage, we were able to accomplish the mission.” Many service members who took part in the exercise did not have previous experience with MPF operations, so they weren’t aware of the policies or procedures that go along with maritime prepositioning. Some members also took on new roles while involved with the exercise. One such individual was Navy Hospital Corpsman Alex Peeler with 2nd Medical battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group. “I had never heard of MPF, but I knew that it would be a great opportunity to learn and gain experience in another field,” said Peeler. Throughout the exercise, Peeler performed his duties as a corpsman, as well as assisting with ground-guiding vehicles,

Lt. Col. Nicholas E. Davis relinquished command of Wounded Warrior Battalion – East to Lt. Col. Leland Suttee aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, June 11. Suttee left his position as commanding officer of 2nd Anglico to assume his new role at Wounded Warrior Battalion. “It’s a culminating event to command a unit in combat,” said Suttee. “If there is something equivalent to that for me, it is to take care of those Marines who are wounded, ill or injured and help them work toward transition.” Suttee joined the Marine Corps in 1987 and served as a radio operator for 9th Communications Battalion before he was accepted into the Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program. He received his commission in 1993 and reported to his first post at Battery I, 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment as a forward observer, fire direction officer and executive officer. In 1998, Suttee attended the Amphibious Warfare School and was assigned to 5th Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment serving as commanding officer of Headquarters Battery. After he completed a deployment with Battery S, Suttee was assigned to Headquarters Marine Corps as the Artillery Company Grade Assignments Monitor.

Staff Sgt. Joshua Shepard, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense chief, cuts through a steel sheet with a blow torch during collapsed-structure rescue training at the Center for National Response in Gallagher, W.V., May 30. course lasted two days, followed by collapsed-structure training, which spanned three days and was the last period of instruction. During collapsed-structure training, Marines learned to move large cement slabs with wooden blocks, a method called cribbing. They also learned to temporarily stabilize structures with wooden braces. Moving on from shoring, they learned to breach through concrete slabs with jackhammers and steel panels with torches. “Collapsed structures was pretty fun altogether,” said Lance Cpl. David Malin, 22nd MEU CBRN specialist. “We utilized different pieces of equipment and different methods of rescue and recovery. Who doesn’t like using torches and jackhammers?” Just like rope training, every detail counts when it comes to collapsed structures, said Park. “Collapsed structures is really just knowing step-by-step what your actions

need to be, not only to gain access to casualties, but to protect the rescuers in the structure,” said Park. “Any time you’re conducting operations within a structure that has been compromised, whether it’s from an explosion or natural disaster, if you don’t catch the signals and the signs you’re sacrificing your whole team. The most important part is just recognizing what you need to do first to progress further on through the operation.” The course ended with a final test and final exercise. The test was 50 questions long and comprised the different subjects and methods learned throughout the course. The final exercise consisted of shoring, searching for casualties in a confined space, cutting through metal sheets, patient packaging and breaching a cement slab to retrieve a casualty. During the rescue, each team relayed messages to the incident commander and on-site rescue chief via handheld radios. The Marines learned to work together

as a team, with each of them taking on different roles during the exercise. “For what it was, it went pretty well,” said Malin. “There were new people in charge who didn’t have a chance earlier in this training. Everybody knew what all the tasks were that had to be done as a team. Everybody worked exceptionally well together.” Overall, the training proved to be very beneficial for the Marines, said Staff Sgt. Joshua Shepard, 22nd MEU CBRN chief. “I think it’s going to benefit them in a few different ways,” said Shepard. “It gives them something to look forward to, more than the normal day-to-day grind; now they have an additional skill set that they can use.” Although the CBRN Marines have only just begun their predeployment training, this course has better prepared them for nearly any kind of rescue they may encounter during their deployment early next year.

22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit Marines completed a 10-day, specialized rescue training course at the Center for National Response in Gallagher, W.V., recently, in preparation for the MEU’s upcoming deployment. For the first three days, the chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense Marines practiced rope rescue skills involving webbing, safety harnesses, knots, anchor systems, various hitch systems, pick-off rescue and safely descending and ascending. The 11 Marines also received hands-on training beyond the 40 hours of classroom time. The practical application portion of the course required Marines to set up their own anchor systems and use them to rappel 20 feet inside of the Memorial Tunnel, a decommissioned highway tunnel CNR utilizes for training, and ascend back up the side of the tunnel. Everything learned during the three days of rope rescue training is very important, said Army Sgt. First Class Matthew Park, the main search and rescue instructor at CNR. “Everything within rope rescue is extremely perishable,” said Park. “It’s not really the broad perspective that gets a soldier, whether it’s a rescuer or a casualty, injured, but it’s the small details that you miss that makes somebody become a fatality or worse a casualty.” The MEU Marines also learned how to properly package a casualty and rig them up to ropes for rope rescue. “It was interesting to see how you do it, how you rig up the casualty and bring them back up,” said Lance Cpl. Dylan Shuler, 22nd MEU CBRN specialist. After rope-rescue training, the Marines moved on to confined-space training inside of the Memorial Tunnel. This training consisted of going through different levels of the confined-space trainer searching for casualties while wearing self-contained breathing apparatuses. “Confined-space training is really just being able to work in an extremely stressful environment,” said Park. “In confined spaces, if you have low lighting or even no lighting, which we work with in this course, being able to cut off 90 percent of your normally used senses to use hearing and touch to find your way through an entire building to find a casualty is the most difficult thing you’re going to run into.” The confined-space portion of the

Col. Jeffrey M. Reagan (center), former chief of staff for 2nd Marine Logistics Group, is presented a folded flag and the Legion of Merit award during a retirement ceremony at 2nd Maintenance Battalion’s maintenance bay aboard Camp Lejeune, June 7.

After 25 years of honorable service in the Marine Corps, the former chief of staff for 2nd Marine Logistics Group stood before friends, family and fellow Marines for the final time at a retirement ceremony, June 7. “When I see the spectacular capabilities of the Marines around, after 25 years of service, I certainly know the Marine Corps is in good hands,” said Col. Jeffrey M. Reagan, former chief of staff for 2nd MLG. Reagan’s retirement ceremony was held in 2nd Maintenance Battalion’s maintenance bay due to inclement weather. But, the maintenance bay is not an unusual scene for the decorated Marine. “This worked out perfect to me,” said Reagan. “We were going to do an outside ceremony in (service Charlie’s) but that is not how I spent

my Marine Corps. I spent my Marine Corps in combat utility uniforms and in maintenance bays. This represents what the 2nd MLG does, and that’s what I have enjoyed for the past 25 years.” During the ceremony, Reagan was presented the Legion of Merit award. It is a military award given for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements. Extraordinary personnel such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Army Maj. Audie L. Murphy and Lt. Gen. Lewis “Chesty” Puller also received the Legion of Merit award. “It’s not surprising seeing (Reagan) retire as a colonel,” said Brig. Gen. Edward D. Banta, the commanding general of 2nd MLG. “When you leave the Marine Corps, you really don’t leave it. (Reagan) will have the friendships (he) has forged over the last 25 years and they will continue

to be with (him).” After honors were made and awards were presented, Reagan requested to “go ashore” for the last time. “Piping Ashore” is a historical and traditional naval ceremony that began in the 1700s. Visiting officers were brought aboard ships in baskets from a small boat. “Sideboys” were assigned to assist in the hoisting and to swing the basket aboard. These days, piping ashore is reserved for both naval officers and enlisted service members who have completed a career serving the Marine Corps or Navy in the highest traditions of the naval service. The “Bos-n Mate” pipes the boatswain’s call signifying the end of their military service. Reagan walked past the “sideboys” with his family, as the “Bos-n Mate” piped him ashore ending his 25-year military career.

Marines and sailors gathered during a change of command ceremony in which commanding officer of 10th Marine Regiment, Col. Bradley R. Hall, relinquished command to Col. Clifford J. Weinstein. A change of command ceremony is a tradition that represents authority and responsibility for a unit being transferred from one commanding officer to another. The ceremony brought together Marines, sailors, family and friends as witness of the ending of one command to the beginning of another. “One of the goals I had when I took command was to make 10th Marines a place that people wanted to be a part of,” said Hall. Hall said that 10th Marines, and the artillery community combined make up part of a “varsity team.” “It takes imagination and creativity to be a commander here, to be a Marine here, and to do what we do here,” said Hall. “For that I say we are the varsity team.” According to Hall, he’s not the only one who is responsible for the varsity team. “It’s the Marines behind me that make that happen,” said Hall. “Our legacy you see and our lineage.” After Hall spoke, Weinstein took the stage and addressed the audience. “For those of you that have worked with Colonel Hall, I know I have some pretty big shoes to fill,” said Weinstein. “So I will be committed to doing that, to improving and maintaining what we do here at division.” Weinstein followed up his speech with an address to the new Marines and sailors that he will be in command of. “To the Marines and sailors of 10th Marines, thank you for this magnificent change of command,” said Weinstein. “You truly are the focus of what we do every day as Colonel Hall has said, and that will continue as long as I’m here.” Following Weinstein’s address to the Marines and sailors, it was then time for active duty and veterans of 2nd Marine Division to rise for their song, “follow me.” This song, which has been a part of 2nd Marine Division for years, is a memoir of comrades who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation’s freedom. The ceremony ended with the Marine’s Hymn and a reception held at Marston Pavilion.

Lejeune families experience outdoors, bond at campout CHANTEL GREEN Sports editor

As the sun set over New River, embers drifted through the air of Hospital Point Picnic Area aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Children’s laughter echoed from each campsite as families anticipated a night of s’more roasting during Outdoor Adventures’ S’mores Family Campout, June 15. Parents and children alike gathered at Hospital Point on the sunshine-filled Saturday to set up their campsites and enjoy 23-hours away from the constant movement, which so often surrounds military families. The campout was a chance to escape the hectic lifestyle, enjoying numerous activities while bonding over their experiences with archery, fishing, setting up their campsite and enjoying the serene, outdoor environment of MCB Camp Lejeune. At the edge of Hospital Point, on perhaps the most scenic viewpoint in the area, Maria Salado and her children looked across the open sky as the sun fell beneath the tree-lined horizon. Much like other families around the campsite, Salado and her husband, Alejandro, were motivated to attend by the vast amount of activities offered to their children. The camping adventure allowed families to connect with one another, while building on their own family ties. While Salado and her family enjoyed the views, Gerald and Irene Vanderstar shared in laughter with their kids as they awaited the start of an evening movie. The MCB Camp Lejeune Base Theater provided a blow-up screen for the event, and the atmosphere seemed like older times, when families would get together for a drive-in movie. On a blanket spread across the grass, the beauty of the outdoor getaway became apparent as Irene and her eldest daughter

laughed over a simple game of patty-cake. The youth seemed to enjoy the simplicity of their surroundings, without a video console, computer or cable television in sight. The kids weren’t without plentiful activities, as Outdoor Adventures provided for a weekend full of activities, with all the equipment included. The parents didn’t have to concern themselves with hauling their fishing poles, tackle boxes or archery equipment across MCB Camp Lejeune, in order to enjoy each activity offered during the overnight camping adventure. There was no short of sporting ventures throughout the day, and no signs of boredom or discontent overcame any of the kids. With varying interests, each family favored a different activity, but their different interests were matched by an assortment of events. As some children awaited the movie screening, others preferred sliding down the slopes of the playground’s slides, some ran around the park with the many family dogs and many kids gathered around their campfires watching embers turn to ashes. The same array of continuous movement through different outlets also occurred earlier in the day, as both parents and their kids connected to diverse activities. “Fishing was my favorite part,” said the Vanderstar’s daughter, as she thought about the many happenings on day one of the campout. Among the families with reasons for joining together at the campout were Jesse Madrid, his wife Jessie Ramos-Madrid and their young son. Nearly out of breath from running around the playground, filled with laughter, their son explained his favorite activity of the day, “I really liked the part where we pulled back the string to shoot the arrow a long way,” he said.

Weekend winds, murky waters bring in few fish

The wind was brutal last week, so it’s not surprising only two blue marlin weighed in at the Big Rock Tourney – a tough go for offshore fishing. After two weeks of great drum fishing in Bogue Banks’ surf, the bites began to slow, but drum were still caught on Kastmasters and Gulp baits between Emerald Isle and Ft. Macon. Kastmasters are indeed the reigning lure for drum fishing, but a cut bait is likely to hook them as well. In contrast, blues and Spanish mackerel were few and far between, but instead we’ve seen a few ladyfish. Hopefully, the Spanish mackerel will reappear as the silty waters begin to clear. In the holes along Bogue Banks, bottom fishing produced a few large sea mullet using sand fleas. The banks also house a few black drum, but the Pompano were no where in sight. Along with the Spanish mackerel, they should reappear in cleaner waters. This time of year typically brings the flounder, but this year has produced mostly shorts. The minimum

size is still 15-inches for these fish. Morehead Port Turning Basin proved the hot spot for flounder fishing, as well as near the Ft. Macon Coast Guard Sation, but even so, the keeper fish are hard to come by. Nearshore reefs and ledges remain home to the largest fish, and most anglers targeted their catches with mud minnows. are still mainly being caught on the nearshore reefs and ledges. Most people are targeting the flounder with mud minnows. The killfish is a flounder favorite in the spring, and they’re plentiful along the surf. If your leaning toward using finger mullet, they have grown very fast, and should soon be large enough for the castnets but small enough to avoid being gilled. If you plan to flounder fish along the Morehead Port wall, you’d fare well with fiddler crabs and sea urchins, and might land the rumored 10-pound sheepshead. Speckled trout are still biting the bait in the New River creeks, and also in the creeks of Core Creek and Newport Marshes, where red drum and flounder still linger. Bogue Inlet’s turning basin saw a plentiful amount of grey trout this weekend, but the bag limit remains at one fish per day. This weekend’s cobia bite was insignificant in comparison to week’s prior, and the few hooked were mostly under 40-pounds. Capt. Robbie Hall has seen fishing slowly begin recovery after Tropical Storm Andrea and caught a good amount of slot puppy drum in the marshes behind Hammocks beach and Emerald Isle. He has been catching good numbers of in the slot puppy drum in the marshes behind Hammocks beach and Emerald Isle. Top-water and all the gulp baits have been the best for the drum.

Hall also caught good luck with bottom fish, while fishing offshore, and his nearshore trips produced sea bass and gage groupers. The surf has been rough and dirty, with no king mackerels in sight along the Crystal Coast or Topsail piers. Oceanana Pier reports spots, sea mullet, small croakers, hog fish scattered Spanish mackerel, blues and sheepshead. Bogue Pier anglers caught a few small sharks, large sea mullet, slot red drum, spots and small croakers. However, they reported few sightings of Spanish mackerel or blues. They also saw an increase in crab catches over the weekend. Seaview has brought in a number of large cobia this month, while also landing short flounder, along with red and black drum. In addition, a fisherman landed a unique catch, reeling in a gaff topsail catfish from the pier. Surf City Pier had a quiet weekend, and anglers hooked spots, small flounder, drum and a threepound spadefish. Jolly Roger was the spot to land trout this weekend, along with blues, croakers and sharks added to their weekend fishing report. Offshore fishing waters were rough and dangerous, but a few large fish bit the bait. Anglers reeled in a 62-pound dolphin fish, and one fisherman claimed to lose a near 30-pound King mackerel, although King sightings were rare. If you set your sights on amberjacks, grouper or sea bass, the wrecks and ledges off Bogue Inlet boast the greatest catches, along with a few good catches right outside of Beaufort.

Dietician discusses nutritional challenges for Marines, sailors CHANTEL GREEN Sports editor

It’s easy to neglect nutrition with a busy schedule, a demanding career and life’s daily curveballs aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Unfortunately, poor nutrition leads to problems which will affect all areas of life, especially for Marines and sailors. Navy Lt. Melinda Villarreal, sees these negative effects all too often at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune where she is one of three clinical dieticians. “The most common complaint and problem with the Marines and sailors is lack of energy to perform their daily duties due to malnutrition. “The risk they take when they don’t consume enough fuel throughout the day is the possibility of compromising their work,” said Villarreal. She added that all too often, service members take their own initiative with energy drinks and other products on the market which advertise an energy boost. However, after a period of time, many Marines and sailors no longer feel the effects and begin searching for alternative options. When Villarreal consults a service member who lacks energy, the first step is to discuss simple and complex carbohydrates in their diets, as well as protein and replenishing their bodies. There are simple strategies she utilizes to aid service members in beginning a journey to a healthier life. She explained the importance of replenishment in detail because the physical training of Marines and sailors is relentlessly intense. “At this time, the latest research shows that low-fat chocolate milk is the best recovery drink after a workout,” said Villarreal. It seems quite a revelation in the military community, and the nutritionist said she finds many service members resorting to recovery drinks or protein shakes, which are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. “Aboard base, service members’ intake of energy drinks and supplements is very high, and when they come in for consultation, sometimes I find they don’t need supplements at all,” said Villarreal, stressing the importance of deriving energy from natural food sources. If Marines and sailors do wish to intake dietary supplements, she suggests choosing ones which have a third party labeling stamp of approval, such as the United States Pharmacopeial Convention, but again she stressed supplements are by no means a necessity.

“The protein you intake doesn’t have to be derived from a powder. There are natural and healthy ways to get needed energy,” said Villarreal, referring to protein drinks. She cited carbohydrates as the primary source of fuel needed for the human body and noted sugar as the energy source in energy drinks – once again proving the same affect can be achieved through proper nutrition. “Some people may think getting energy through a drink is more convenient than a food source, but when you get energy from carbohydrate-filled foods like fruits and whole grain bread, you also intake essential vitamins and minerals not found in an energy drink,” said Villarreal. Not only does poor nutrition affect physical performance, but over time the effects are seen in a person’s mental capacity as well. All too often, Villarreal sees service members completely eliminating carbohydrates from their diet to lose weight, but they don’t realize the long-term affects the malnutrition will have on their brain. “You can have a decrease in cognitive thinking if you’re not consuming enough carbohydrate-type foods,” said Villarreal. The affects of poor nutrition will be seen immediately in daily performance, but the long-term effects are sometimes more damaging. Aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, service members are expected to perform at an increasingly high level

both physically and cognitively, and Villarreal stressed proper nutrition is the best way to increase performance. Many know poor diet can have damaging affects, which may last a lifetime, but embarking on a journey to a healthy lifestyle can be intimidating. However, a couple tips will help service members start living a healthier lifestyle. “The most important part of improving nutrition is to not skip meals and make sure you consume plenty of fruits and vegetables,” said Villarreal. Three clinical dieticians work at NHCL and referrals aren’t necessary. Villarreal urges service members seeking nutritional counseling to make an appointment with one of the nutritionists and reap the affects of healthy eating.

Marines of Headquarters and Support Battalion grapple to survive a single elimination, ground fighting tournament during the Commander’s Cup Challenge aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently.

As their brothers and sisters-in-arms bellow in the background, Marines from Headquarters and Support Battalion hit the ground graplling in hopes of taking home the Commander’s Cup Challenge championship title aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently.

Headquarters and Support Battalion’s Security Company pinned the win during the ground fighting Commander’s Cup Challenge aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently. Even with Security Company’s victory in the series’ final competition, Company I outshined all, receiving the competition’s coveted trophy for the most victories throughout the year-long competition season. The four contending companies each chose six ground fighters to represent them in the competition. Despite the challenge’s focus on a form of mixed martial arts, the chosen few held levels of Marine Corps Martial Arts Program belts ranging from grey to black. Even before the ground games commenced, the opposing teams endured a grueling warm-up, working as a team through burpees, jump squats, push-ups,

air squats and flutter kicks, performing 50 total repetitions per exercise. After the draining opening exercises, the teams of six began the ground fighting competition in a kneeling position, each competitor’s knees pressed firmly against the ground. When the whistle blew, the contenders advanced toward their rivals with a slew of strategies, which they developed prior to the competition. The first ground brawl sent Company A and Company B digging their strength into the dirt, in pursuit of the championship title. After clashing against the competition in an intense battle, Company B took the first round, knocking Company A out of contention. In the second round, Security Company and Company I dueled in the mud and muck. The round ended in swift victory for Security Company, earning the team a spot in the finals, and subsequently eliminating Company I. The rounds’ referees were unfazed by the intensity, grit and

grind of the competitors’ ground work. Determined to keep the competition high, the refs pushed the two final teams even further, with a second round of warm-up exercises. With the advantage of copious skill sets and greater stature, the six-man Security Company team secured June’s Commander’s Cup Challenge, as they overpowered Company B with brute force. “When you have someone’s back, it builds camaraderie unlike anything else. “I tried to submit to my attacker as I saw a teammate struggling with his opponent. I left my fight to help him out, because I didn’t want him to leave the fight. He’s my brother-inarms – I can’t let him get out,” said Sgt. Brandon Price, of the Provost Marshalls Office special response team. As the challenge came to a close, defeated Company I still had something to celebrate as they staked claim on the esteemed Commander’s Cup trophy, and reigned supreme over contending companies.

Limitless dedication hits the links

Hope for the Warriors, Museum of the Marine host charity golf tournament CHANTEL GREEN Sports editor

Photo by Chantel Green

Community members, active-duty Marines, veterans and wounded warriors golf in honor of sacrifices made by service members for the country. The annual event was hosted by Hope for the Warriors and Museum of the Marine at Jacksonville Country Club, June 14.

Just one week after their annual Kayak for the Warriors event, Hope for the Warriors teamed up with Museum of the Marine to present the third annual Military Heroes Golf Classic at Jacksonville Country Club, June 14. Their dedication to the cause is limitless. Hope for the Warriors works endlessly to keep the community involved with the wounded service members, and never want anyone to forget the sacrifices they’ve made. “As the United States’ engagement in war decreases, there is definitely a concern the American public will either forget the problems our veterans are facing or believe that their problems have been addressed completely by the government,” said Anne Barnwell, public relations director of Hope for the Warriors. The Museum of the Marine makes every effort to pay tribute to service members who’ve dedicated themselves to protecting the country. The museum serves as a storyteller for the Marines of the Carolinas. The organization works tirelessly for the benefit of Marines, and joining Hope for the Warriors furthered their mission. “The Museum of the Marine is honored to team up with Hope for the Warriors. The museum will honor all of the Carolina Marine Air-Ground Task Force and

the communities around them,” said Ret. Sgt. Maj. Joe Houle, Museum of the Marine director of operations. As the participants arrived at the country club, their mission was far greater than winning a tournament. The golfers attended to honor the sacrifices of wounded warriors. They were members of the community, veterans, active service members and wounded warriors who came together to support the cause but also enjoyed some friendly competition. The event centered on community involvement as both organizations realized the vital role military communities play in the lives of service members and their families. “Together, our organizations will support and honor the sacrifices of Marines and their families,” said Robin Kelleher, Hope for the Warriors president. The duo ended successfullly as more than 100 golfers arrived, sank their shoes into the freshly cut greens and hit the links in appreciation. Among the participants, two teams of wounded warriors golfed in support of an organization which has aided them throughout their journey to recovery. For more information on the Hope for the Warriors organization and upcoming events, visit www.hopeforthewarriors.org. To learn more about the Museum of the Marine, visit www.museumofthemarine.com.

At ease.

Some choices are hard; this one is easy. You want your family to be safe and secure, and that’s what we do.

Breathe easy and experience the difference.

For 134 years, AAFMAA has helped service members and their families prepare for a secure future. The military life isn’t easy, but you can put your family at ease. Give them peace of mind. Give them the gift of financial security. Because they have more important things to worry about than money.

Madrid and RamosMadrid’s son sported a smile from ear-to-ear throughout the entire event as he sprinted across the playground’s bridge and climbed on the outskirts of the structure. Even though the family enjoyed the event without one important little girl, Madrid and his wife’s son could breathe easy knowing he wass an essential factor in endnding his sister’s battle with mia. acute myeloid leukemia. Ramos-Madrid beamed with pride as she nd turned to her son and ua asked, “Why are you superhero?” ed, As the child replied, relief was apparent on his face and in his voice. “I’m a superhero because I helped save my sister by giving her my blood and bone marrow,” he said.

able to join her family for the S’mores Family Campout, the couple’s daughter was recovering and doing remarkably well. As the evening progressed and activities continued, Ramos and his wife were able to enjoy their weekend. After all s’mores were roasted, the last piece of firewood caught flame, and the sound of the tents’ rising zippers marked the end of an exciting day among the pines. Sunday’s sunrise would bring their weekend to a close, and their inevitable return to busy schedules and traffic jams would follow.

No matter how brief, the weekend of family fun aboard MCB Camp Lejeune provided parents with needed rest, and left their children with an appreciation for the outdoors, possibly favoring that experience over the abundant, technologyfilled activities of today’s youth.

mix of excitement and nervousness hung in the humid evening air. Thirteen years, filled with countless homework assignments, exams, relocations, deployments and change, all lead to this night. They learned so much throughout the years, but only one thing resonated in their final hours as students – don’t be afraid to dream big. Dressed in red gowns and cardboard caps, the senior class lined up and collectively took a deep breath before their final walk together

toward the future. The Lejeune High School graduating class of 2013 marched down the aisles of the Base Theater to the cheers and applause of family members and friends during their graduation ceremony aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, June 13. “This class is very special. They take care of business and most importantly each other,” Eric Steimel, LHS principal, told the crowd. “Fortynine percent of them will graduate with a (grade point average) of 3.0 or higher. That is amazing.” The 88 students on stage beamed with pride as Steimel explained how Devil Pups are spread throughout the globe, and the title is everlasting. SEE GRADUATION 7C

‘Fast & Furious’ roads lead to geeky ‘Internship’ Now playing at Camp Lejeune “FAST & FURIOUS 6 (PG-13) “Fast & Furious 6” is another adventure in the global blockbuster franchise built around speed racing. With the return of the all-star cast, this highstake adventure takes place in London. In the 2011 movie, “Fast Five,” our heroes escaped the grasp of the police after their Rio heist when they toppled a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100 millions. Vin Diesel (“Babylon A.D.,” “Pacifier,”) and Paul Walker (“Takers,” “Flags of Our Fathers”) star as Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner, our street racer heroes who are now fugitives, and who have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the run, have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile Agent Luke Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson (“Pain & Gain,” “Snitch”), has been tracking an organization of skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries. The mastermind of the criminal outfit is Owen Shaw, played by Luke Evans (“Immortals”), who is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be Dom’s presumed dead lover. Michelle Rodriguez (“Machete,” “Resident Evil”) re-appears as Letty

Ortiz, Dom’s old love. Agent Hobbs seems to think that the only way to stop these criminals is to outmatch them at street level, and ask Dom to assemble his elite team in London. As payment in kind, he promises them full pardons, so that they all can return back home to their families. Also appearing are Jordana Brewster (“Annapolis”) as Mia Toretto, Dominic’s sister and girlfriend of Brian, Elsa Pataky (“Snakes On a Plane”) as Elena, Tyrese Gibson (“Transformers”) as Roman, and Ludacris as Tej. Gina Carano (“Haywire”), the former mixed martial arts champion, portrays Riley, a federal agent and Hobb’s righthand woman. Director Justin Lin (“Fast Five,” “Fast & Furious,” “Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift,” “Annapolis”) is on the helm again and has transformed this series into a demolition derby; to note he did not direct the first two installments. “Fast & Furious 6” is a super-charged, over-thetop action packed movie loaded with fast cars, top-notched action stunts and lots of non-computer excitement. If you are a fan of the world’s biggest car film franchise, you will not be disappointed. And for your information, “Fast & Furious 7” is coming in the near future.

Shannon Headley, a Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune visitor, views an oil painting from the naval hospital’s art therapy art exhibit themed “Healing Wounds Through Expressive Freedom” held at the hospital quarterdeck, June 7. The exhibit featured more than 30 pieces of artwork created by patients undergoing treatment in the hospital’s art therapy program.

Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune’s art therapy program art exhibit came to a close after more than a week of thoughtprovoking display at the hospital quarterdeck aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, June 14. Themed, Healing Wounds Through Expressive Freedom, the purpose of the exhibit was three-fold. It was designed as a therapeutic platform for patients to display and discuss the experiences that inspired their artwork, and to serve as a unique aesthetic experience teaching exhibit goers about the benefits of art therapy. For many patients, it posed as a challenge for them to conquer as they publically talked about overcoming the stigma surrounding seeking treatment for mental health and wellness. “Art therapy can be an integral part of the healing process for many service members who have experienced trauma and who are looking for ways to transform their lives and move forward with a stronger sense of identity and resilience,” explained NHCL’s Art Therapist Gayla Elliott. “Most of our patients are overcoming post traumatic stress from combat-related experiences, but this modality can also be effective for patients who have experienced traumatic brain injury as well.” With more than 30 pieces of artwork, the exhibit featured paintings, drawings, masks, sculptures, and poetry. Patients and their family members stood next to their art throughout the week, discussing their combat trauma experiences that led to their creations. “My husband had delayed post traumatic stress disorder,” explained Lali Vega, a spouse of one of NHCL’s art therapy patients. “I started noticing symptoms, and he decided to get help.

Art therapy has done well for him, taken him out of his shell.” One of the most notable successes of art therapy, according to Elliott, is how it gives a voice to patients who have experienced trauma, but are either reluctant to get help or have difficulties talking about their experiences. She also noted how most of the patients have little or no experience working with the various mediums of art therapy. “Unconscious material is often shown through art,” said Elliott. “Even if the artwork is not mechanically perfect, the content has deep meaning for the patient and once it is put on paper, the patient can see both the art and the problem face to face. I help the patient understand the images and the best methods to overcome what is depicted.” NHCL’s art therapy program treats approximately 50 patients per week in group and studio sessions and individual counseling appointments. It was established in 2009 as part of the hospital’s Mental Health Directorate and is used as an adjunct therapy that integrates the fields of human development, visual art, and the creative process through models of counseling and psychotherapy. It continues to be one of NHCL’s most effective post-traumatic stress disorder treatment programs. NHCL’s art therapy program also focuses on helping patients learn how to resolve conflict, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem, achieve insight, develop hand-eye coordination and increase concentration and focus. “Sometimes when we’re discussing his artwork, it feels like we’re going backward, reliving the trauma, and it hurts,” said Vega. “But really, we’re moving forward, and it lets me see what he sees through his art since he doesn’t speak about it. And our family and his career has been better because of it.”

A local community organization helping physically and sexually abused youth recognized key support agencies during a ceremony in Jacksonville, N.C., June 7. The Child Advocacy Center of Onslow County is a one-stop facility where children can receive medical evaluations and be interviewed in a friendly atmosphere. Law enforcement agencies and child protection services refer and evaluate children at the facility with experts of various disciplines who gather as much information and evidence as possible while minimizing the amount of stress placed on a child. The center recognized the Department of Social Services, Onslow County’s Sheriff ’s Office, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Jacksonville Police Department, Onslow County District Attorney’s Office and the Gunsand-Hoses Committee during the ceremony. Representatives from each of the agencies received plaques to commemorate their partnership with the agency. “We could not do our jobs without one another,” said Kathleen Holbrook, the director of the Child Advocacy Center. “We are intertwined.” Holbrook said while the organizations rely upon one another, each look through their own unique lens to serve the same goals: protecting youth and prosecuting offenders. Base officials were in attendance including Brig. Gen. Thomas Gorry, Marine Corps InstallationsEast Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune commanding general, Capt. David Lane, the commanding officer of Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune and other members of their staff. Gorry spoke to the guests and those honored, thanking them for their continued efforts in assuring the safety of children.

“It takes a multi-faceted approach that includes law enforcement, medical personnel, concerned parents and trained professionals to take care of those who can’t take care of themselves,” said Gorry. Physicians with specialized training provide comprehensive medical exams and trained interviewers have one-on-one conversations with victims, which can be viewed remotely by a team investigating the case, lessening the traumatic retelling of a victim’s story. The center also gathers information about local child abuse trends. Since its inception in August of 2010, the center assisted more than 600 children and teenagers in the community. Most of the children seen at the center, 41 percent, are less than 5 years old. Children between the ages of six and 12 make up 37 percent of their clients, and children between 13 and 18 years old make up 22 percent. Seventy-six percent, are victims of sexual abuse. Eighteen percent of children are victims of physical abuse. Elected officials such as Sen. Harry Brown, Jacksonville Mayor Sammy Phillips, Onslow County Commissioner Lionel Midgett, and Onslow County Sherriff Ed Brown were also in attendance to honor the organizations. The event was a way for the Child Advocacy Center of Onslow County and other entities to recognize the local groups that help children cope during a traumatic situation and apprehend those who abuse and exploit them. The center has only been opened a few years, and in that time it has assisted in nearly a hundred trials. Those honored received wooden plaques highlighting their contributions.

We all encounter leaders in life. Some are good, and some are not. There are several reasons why a person is successful, or not, in leading others. One thing is for sure – no one ever sets out to be a “bad” leader. They fail in their leadership style because somewhere along the journey they disconnect with the intended end result – to inspire and improve the lives of others. I was contemplating this reality recently while talking with an old friend about our journey in the military and the characters we have encountered along the way. I could not help but think of a chaplain who was legendary in my early years of service. He had served as a grunt corporal during the Vietnam War. He was heavily decorated. Although he was somewhat small in stature, he was literally larger than life to a number of us. Whether real or folklore, the story was told that while serving as a chaplain at Parris Island, he encountered a young recruit who wanted to quit. A bit frustrated as to the young recruit’s reasoning for giving up after seeing the worst war could offer and the great sacrifices of those around him, he told the recruit he was not worthy to wear the cloth of this nation. He then proceeded to confiscate the recruit’s uniform and sent him from the chaplain’s office wearing less than the prescribed attire of the day. A drill instructor saw the young man and inquired what happened to his clothing. The recruit replied, “The chaplain took it.” I can only imagine the conversation that must have followed between the drill instructor and the chaplain. While this is clearly a funny story, there is also a serious message we must all consider. What kind of impact did the chaplain have upon the recruit? Was the recruit inspired or humiliated by the chaplain’s actions? I am sure there are many in the inner circle who had a great laugh retelling the story, possibly even speaking of the mean, old, crusty chaplain in legendary terms, but the ultimate truth in this story is that it was the chaplain who really failed, not the recruit. The chaplain failed to inspire change. The chaplain failed to encourage a young man who could have possibly only needed someone to tell him how much they believed in him. The truth of the matter is, if we are going to be honest with ourselves, we all have times we feel like giving up. Often times, the difference between success and failure is whether we give up too soon. In other words, failure often turns into success by perseverance. People persevere because they learn to believe in themselves. People only learn to believe in themselves when they are encouraged to do so by others. In the end, I think true leadership is that which inspires and improves the lives of others. What type of leader do you want to be?

Families take first taste of summer at local farmers’ market festival AMY BINKLEY

Assistant managing editor

Miss home? Buy locally, and they’ll treat you like family. Hundreds of service members and their families joined area citizens to get their first tastes of summer during the annual Onslow County Farmers’ Market Summerfest in Jacksonville, N.C., June 15. “This might be the biggest crowd we’ve ever had,” said Jeff Morton, co-manager for the farmers’ market. “We have at least 45 vendors out here, with a good mix of food and crafts.” Eager visitors crowded the parking lot early to celebrate the free annual festival with their families and pick up a few tasty treats along the way. “We have such a transient community,” pointed out Katherine Benoit, farmers’ market co-manager. “(The farmers’ market is) a hometown thing (service members) can do with their kids. It makes them

feel grounded and part of the lives of others.” Vendors were fully stocked with the fruits and vegetables of the season, including blueberries, carrots, corn and cucumbers, but the produce went fast as customers hurried to fill their bags. “There is a real interest right now among the public to buy local,” observed Morton. Ashley Wheeler, a military spouse, comes to the farmers’ market as often as possible. “We love to support the farmers. They’re very friendly and are kind to the kids,” she said. “I don’t have to worry about feeding my family harmful chemicals because they don’t use them.” While children took hayrides, panned for gems, visited with scaly reptiles and chowed down on homemade ice cream, their parents enjoyed the low-key, family-friendly environment where no one leaves without meeting someone new. Candy Thompson is a familiar face at the Onslow County Farmers’ Market, manning the

Oakwood Barbecue stand every Saturday for the past three years. “We’re all like family out here,” she explained. “Everyone expects us to be here, and we love interacting with people.” Thompson noted while the demand for more locally grown food is increasing, there is still a large part of the Onslow County population who do not know about the farmers’ market. “There’s so much provided here,” she said. “As they find out, more and more people are coming, and it’s really exciting to see.” The Onslow County Farmers’ Market now has two location to meet the local demand. The 4024 Richlands Highway location is open Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., and the Jacksonville Commons location is open Thursdays from 12 to 6 p.m. For more information visit www.onslowncfarmersmarket.com.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. GRADUATION FROM 1C “Once a Devil Pup, always a Devil Pup,” he said. With only one year of school under their belt before the Global War on Terror began, the graduating class learned early on the importance of the bond military children share and supporting each others’ dreams. Born with cerebral palsy, Brianna Ash’s big life dream seemed simple enough. She wanted to walk across the stage to receive her diploma. She knew she faced challenges her peers did not, but when she learned the Base Theater was not equipped with a ramp giving her access to the stage, she was determined to make a change so she, and others who came after her, would be able to see their dreams come true. “I did not want to be forgotten,” Ash admitted. “I wanted this for so long. I wasn’t going to give up now.” Steimel and his administration worked with Marine Corps Community Services to figure out a solution. “There was no other right answer than to get this done,” said Patsy Schneider, MCCS Semper Fit recreation manager. “We’ve always known there was a need, but in the older buildings, it’s not an easy fix. We’re so happy it was identified and corrected so quickly.” Architect Rick Best took on the task as a personal mission, and in a matter of months, he assembled a portable ramp for Ash, and others, to use. “It means everything to me,” Ash declared. “The fact that it got done so quickly is awesome. I wanted to make sure everyone can do it in the future. This is my final mark on Lejeune.” She and her classmates sat patiently, soaking up the last bits of wisdom they would receive before entering the next chapter of their lives. “We’re family. I know everyone says that, but it’s true,” explained salutatorian Cody Babineaux during his speech. “We all have our own story, but we’re here for the same thing.” Babineaux also shared advice his parents taught him during the course of his academic career. “It’s easier to keep up than to catch up, and it’s easier to succeed if you’re already there,” he said. “Look Mom, I did it.” The dream theme continued throughout the ceremony as valedictorian Kristen Gibson quoted Dr. Seuss, noting his refusal to be afraid of rather than believe in his dreams. Dr. Aldridge Boone, Camp Lejeune district superintendent, addressed the graduates, noting how society needs their creative minds and encouraging them to leave positive footsteps on the path less traveled. “Dream big lest you end your exploring before you get to the end,” he charged.

Members of the Lejeune High School Class of 2013 show their support for their fellow classmates while celebrating a milestone during their graduation ceremony at the Base Theater aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, June 13.

We’re family. I know everyone says that, but it’s true. We all have our own story, but we’re here for the same thing. Cody Babineaux, salutatorian

Before the pinnacle of the evening, the students presented gifts to the Lejeune Scholarship Fund in support of the upcoming senior class, and ventured off the stage to hand parents, mentors and friends flowers to show their appreciation for their years of encouragement. Steimel took his place at the podium with the list of names in front of him, and Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, Marine Corps Installations East – MCB Camp Lejeune commanding general, readied himself to hand out diplomas. The seniors fidgeted in their seats with the knowledge they were about to see a dream come true – and not just their own. After a handful of graduates crossed the stage, Steimel paused slightly before calling the next name. “Brianna Ash,” he said. The students all rose to their feet and erupted in applause as their classmate, clinging to her father, stood. With the assistance of her walker, Ash slowly but surely inched closer to her goal. Members of the audience, administration and graduating class cheered her on as many wiped tears from their eyes. Ash shook Gorry’s hand, gripped her diploma and broke into a smile reserved for those who’ve seen their dreams accomplished. The excitement continued as the rest of the Class of 2013 received their awards with joy, determination and hope for what is to come. The graduates turned their tassels and congratulated each other as the ceremony concluded, and one final bit of wisdom echoed throughout the building. Never give up on your dreams, and never forget where you came from. To see more pictures from the ceremony, visit www.camplejeuneglobe.com.
