Sgt. Maj. Octaviano Gallegos Jr. relinquished the duties of sergeant major of 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit to Sgt. Maj. Lanette Wright aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, March 14. Wright became the first female MEU sergeant major in the history of the Marine Corps. “Today is a chance for me to serve the Marine Corps at a higher level, I’m humbled and thankful to be able to take over this position,” said Wright. “Being a Marine leader, this is a great opportunity to be able to expand on my leadership.”
Wright assumed duties for the 24th MEU after leaving the Command Inspector General office, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, as the senior enlisted adviser. Her personal decorations include two meritorious service medals, three Navy and Marine Corps commendation medals, and two Navy and Marine Corps achievement medals. Wright accepts her new duties during Women’s History Month; 71 years after the Marine Corps began accepting women into recruit training. “It’s a historic day, but I don’t want to make this about women, it’s really just about being a Marine and taking the opportunities to serve the Marine Corps,”
said Wright. “I wouldn’t say I opened any new doors for women in the Marine Corps. There are plenty of opportunities, we just haven’t reached them due to the sheer number of women in the Marine Corps.” Wright enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1989 and deployed in support of operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom and Unified Protector. The command wishes Gallegos the best on his future assignments, and they look forward to working with Wright, said Col. Scott Benedict, commanding officer of 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. “I’m looking forward to having Sergeant Major Wright come to the MEU
and having another two years of fantastic leadership,” said Benedict. “She brings a great background to the unit, she has experience with expeditionary units and also experience with many of the Marine Corps major operations throughout the last 20 years. She brings the type of leadership we demand from our Sergeant Major, and I think she’s going to fit in just fine.” Gallegos leaves the MEU to assume duties as sergeant major for the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade. “I’m going to miss the Marines,” said Gallegos. “We can spend millions of dollars on weapons, ships and gear, but it would never work without the Marines to operate it. They are our biggest asset.”
On the night of Aug. 11, 2013, Sgt. Johnathan Gould, a combat engineer with 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, and his team were out on a recovery patrol when his AMK-36 wrecker struck an improvised explosive device causing him and three others to suffer traumatic Gould brain injuries. Gould received the Purple Heart while aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, March 11, for wounds he suffered supporting Operation Enduring Freedom,. The Purple Heart, established on April 5, 1917, is the oldest military award still presented to military members in the name of the President. Service members receive the medal when they are injured, killed or die as consequence from injuries sustained during their service in combat operations. “The area had been swept, so we moved our wrecker up, and after moving about ten feet we triggered another IED and shrapnel went flying,†said Gould. “It’s the loudest thing you’ll ever hear. I immediately took cover and protected my face the best I could. Then we ran back and posted security by our truck.” The patrol was outside of a small village in Helmand province, Afghanistan, when the explosion happened. “The first thing we did after the explosion was treat the casualties,” explained Gould. “We didn’t know if the IED was command detonated, so we searched the surrounding area for insurgents to ensure safety.” The Purple Heart recipient said five Marines were within close proximity to the blast and four members of the team received traumatic brain injuries, including the 22-year-old. While three of the Marines required immediate, medical evacuation from the area, Gould remained with his team and later received treatment upon returning to Camp Leatherneck. The 2009 graduate of Lexington High School stayed at Camp Leatherneck for 10 days for medical reasons and was back on patrol just one month after the incident. “The incident was surreal, it was kind of scary at first, but we had to act, so we did what we all are trained to do,” said Gould. After the ceremony ended, Gould received a challenge coin by the 2nd Marine Division sergeant major, Sgt. Maj. Bryan K. Zickefoose, who expressed his gratitude to the Purple Heart recipient for his actions in OEF.

It was freezing as the Marines prepped their gear and warmed the boat engines in the dark. After daybreak, they finally boarded their floatable bridge sections en route to the ranges across the New River aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, March 10, with a full day of shooting still ahead of them. Even with the war in Afghanistan winding down, the operational pace for the Marines of Bridge Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, has remained high. The revitalization of the Marine Corps’ amphibious readiness has opened up new doors to future deployments. Chances to train for these missions are at a premium for the unit designed to turn water into land. Thus, they gathered in the darkness, rifles in hand. More than 30 of the company’s Marines used their unique water-borne capabilities to ferry their gear and equipment across the river. They set up their tents and began their dry run through the Marine Corps’ Intermediate and Advanced Combat Rifle Marksmanship tables characterized by quick reaction shooting and moving to engage targets. Cpl. Tyler Comar, a combat engineer with the company, served as the combat marksmanship trainer responsible for making sure every-
thing ran efficiently. “All these guys out here are your buddies,” said Comar. “I know I love to shoot, and I know these Marines love to too, but nobody wants to shoot if the range doesn’t run smoothly.” Comar walked the line of Marines, shouting commands as volleys tore through the targets. Lines of Marines shifted on their feet, with their eyes never leaving the target. Though anxious to unleash hellfire on their paper foe, they waited and listened intently for the command, “Targets.” On the cusp of that one word all Marines fired. The course itself is an extension of each Marine’s annual rifle marksmanship training, designed to advance marksmanship with combat shooting fundamentals. Rather than standing still while firing three-shot drills, each Marine engaged the enemy on the move and from multiple distances, bringing more realistic scenarios to the range. The Marines wore full body armor. With their cumbersome load now baking under the midday sun, they fired shot after shot. Comar walked the line of shooters and observed their performance, offering tips along the way. Even the number of rounds fired by Bridge Company, more than 7,000 during the course of the range, was designed to create a level of comfort and familiarity between the shooter and his weapon. Once the sun set and the moon rose, Marines donned

Marines with the company fired more than 7,000 rounds during day and night shoots. night vision goggles and started the nighttime portion of the range. Infrared lasers attached to their rifles allowed them to see their points of aim without giving away their position. They changed directions on the shooting line and walked toward their foe, following the laser lines in
the night and firing. “The night shoot was difficult, but we’re doing what Marines do,” said Lance Cpl. Michael Bostic, a combat engineer with the company. “Working in a shop all the time isn’t enough. When we get to come out and shoot, I feel like I’m doing something important.”
After the dust settled, and only the remains of the paper targets were left, they packed up their gear, thoroughly cleaned the ranges, and settled back into their tents for the night. At daybreak, they broke down their camp and headed for the coast and their waiting boats.

unpredictable weather creates unique training adaptations during Cold Response 14 Sgt. tatum VayaVananda

Cold Response 14 brings together nearly 16,000 troops from 16 different countries to Northern Norway to train high-intensity operations in extreme coldweather environments. But a training area filled with snow and Arctic-cold weather conditions was not what U.S. Marines and the multinational force, service members from Norway, Sweden, Canada, Great Britain and the Netherlands, were faced with, at the start of the exercise. It was a greater obstacle; warmer temperatures with wetter conditions. “The rain has challenged the Marines who were expecting the snow,” said Lt. Col. Joel F. Schmidt, the battalion commander of 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Divisio. “33 degrees and raining is always a challenge for Marines out doing patrols, maintaining health while they are moving around when it’s cold and wet. But I think the Marines have done extremely well.” CR-14 is a multilateral exercise with more than 16 partner nations above the Arctic Circle to train as one. The exercise includes largescale troop movements, maritime offloads and positioning, snow-covered foot and mechanized vehicle patrols, amphibious raids, an international brigade of simulated opposition forces, and multinational command-level synchronization in a training area half the size of Connecticut, from the city of Trondheim to the Northern city of Bardufoss. For an exercise that tests operational capacity under extreme weather conditions, CR-14 has experienced Mother Nature’s might and unpredictability with wet, rainy days and strong winds that have challenged the multinational force to adapt to a situation dictated by the climate. With weather condi-
tions hovering around the freezing point, 32-degrees Fahrenheit, the weather has proven to be an unpredicted, prevalent obstacle than the expected extreme sub-zero, snowy-but-dry conditions; more water and less snow means more concerns while operating. “Staying dry, that’s the challenge here; it’s easy to be cold, it’s harder to be cold and wet,” said Schmidt. But the Marines have been aided by their hostnation’s proficiency and skill; Norwegian allies who understand the climate, how to survive and combat the elements at the tip of the Northern Hemisphere. “The weather has been very wet and unique because it’s the worse winter we’ve had for many years in this area,” said Norwegian Pvt. Morten Aas, a Bandvagn 206 driver integrated with the 2nd Bn., 2nd Marines. Norwegian counterparts have advised Marines on clothing techniques for patrols, tent set ups in the extreme conditions, tips to keep warm, dry and safe, setting up snow walls to protect from the elements, and camouflaging with their Arctic surroundings. “For the (Marines), I think there were a lot of things to learn, especially about cold-weather clothing because they are not geared up with the correct gear for this environment; the rain and cold all the time,” said Aas. The unpredictability of the weather provides a better training situation, where the multinational brigade experienced factors that can’t be built into planning, nor scheduled. “There’s such a change of weather you can have in these mountains. It’s important to learn because it can turn in just half an hour, from sunny to snow to wind, and it’s a good experience for the Marines to have.” Cold Response 14 is indicative of the commitment of all participating nations to global security and worldwide stability
that requires the capacity to operate in any clime and place, from arid deserts through dense jungles and in frigid glaciers. “It’s really important to know how to operate in the cold,” said Lance Cpl. Ryan Dole, a Marine with 2nd Bn., 2nd Marines. “From our instructors and learning from the Norwegians, there are a lot of things you need to know to be able to survive and fight in combat if it ever comes to that situation.” “This is a whole different ball game, and it’s so important because it’s really hard; if you don’t know how to do it, you can die out here,” said Dole. For the Marines and their allies, the exercise emphasizes their adaptability to situations and their ability to overcome unpredictable circumstances, even within a training environment. “I think it’s awesome for the training because we can’t predict what’s going to happen in the future in a real-world situation,” said Dole. “It’s tough out here in the cold, but someone has to do it.” “We’ve had a pretty decent time. I’m from Upstate New York, so I’m used to the cold, just not this extreme, but we make the best of each situation we can and that’s what Marines do,” Dole said. Cold Response 14 is the sixth iteration of the exercise and has grown from approximately 10,000 international service members since 2006. The exercise will continue to create a robust training environment that will not only build proficiency in extreme Arctic conditions but bolster cohesion, interoperability and understanding between the 16 different nations while maintaining proven partnerships and alliances between the participating countries. Northern Norway has experienced fresh, new snow for the remainder of the exercise, which will run through Friday.

26th Meu conducts cBrn training Lance cpL. Joshua Brown
26th marine expeditionary unit
The words “Even The Brave Cry Here” are painted in a bold stencil format and displayed on a sign that hangs over the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune gas chamber. Beyond the sign, a trail with obstacles waits for Marines to traverse its path and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense specialists lay in wait with canisters of 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile, also known as CS gas. Marines are required to annually qualify with their CBRN defense equipment. The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit conducted their annual CBRN training, March 11. Marines assigned to the MEU received a series of classes and conducted a practical application exercise that involved an obstacle course. Far from a typical gas chamber, the course fulfilled annual training requirements and tested the combat readiness of the Marines in a CBRN environment. “We want to provide a realistic environment to better prepare Marines in the case an actual CBRN emergency happens,” said Cpl. Jacob Hansen, a CBRN specialist assigned to the MEU and one of the primary instructors during the training evolution. “On the trail, they act as if they’re on a patrol ... we throw some CS canisters out and they have to react and adjust, quickly donning their masks,” said Hansen. CS gas is a riot control agent used by the Marine Corps. In training, it’s used to familiarize Marines with
CBRN defense equipment such as mission oriented protective posture gear and an M50 Joint Service General Purpose Mask; as well as procedures to utilize the equipment. Marines are taught they have nine seconds to don their masks in the event a CBRN attack occurs. “We try to keep the training as realistic as possible,” said Hansen. “On the trail, we give them a taste of a spontaneous attack, so they may not have a whole nine seconds to put on their masks before they feel the effects of CS.” Hansen said this kind of training is important and helps remind Marines of the danger involved in a CBRN attack and enhances their situational awareness. “Being alert is important,” said Hansen. “If you’re out on a mission and your team experiences a CBRN attack, your mission priorities change from the current objective to ensuring your team dons their masks and protective gear and survive to complete the objective.” The trail the MEU Marines participated in involved a number of obstacles they had to maneuver through, while staying aware that at any moment they could be exposed to CS gas and needed to quickly react, donning their masks, overcoming the obstacles and continuing on with the mission. Capt. Saba Safiari, the 26th MEU assistant logistics officer, said the trail provided a refreshing challenge and a much greater degree of realism than the gas chamber. “It was another step in gear confidence,” said Safiari. “The obstacle course is anaerobic, so it raises your heart rate and puts

We take into account what the commanding officer wants, and we provide

Commandant of the Marine Corps promotes 2nd MlG Marine Cpl. Devin niChols 2nd marine logistics Group
Thousands of people gathered at Penn’s Landing, Philadelphia, to witness the March 1 commissioning ceremony for the USS Somerset, the last of three troop transports named in honor of 9/11 victims. But for Pfc. Uriel Reyes Jr., a Marine who took part in the ceremony, the day marked more than just the chance to participate in a historic event. After the ship was brought to life with its new crew, attention diverted to Reyes, who waited as Gen. James F. Amos, the 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps, walked over to the Marine detachment’s senior enlisted adviser, 1st Sgt. Leon M. Banta. Reyes, a school clerk for Headquarters and Support Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, stood
in his dress blues and waited. The rank stitched to his sleeves would only be a part of his life for a few, short more minutes. “First sergeant Banta told me the day prior the commandant might promote me, and it made me really nervous,” said Reyes. “That night when we went out on liberty, I didn’t have any fun, because all I did was practice my salute and make sure I was prepared for the promotion.” A small formation of Marines assembled near where Reyes was standing. He waited at the position of attention as Banta began to read his promotion warrant. The public slowly gathered around to watch as Banta started reading, “To all who shall see these presents, greeting.” “When the civilians started to come over to watch and take pictures, I got stage fright,” said Reyes, who joined the Marine Corps less than two years ago. “It wasn’t

The $58 million project is scheduled to be completed by late summer 2015 to keep up with an increasing number of patients, advancements in medicine and technology. “The hospital renovations and new construction have given the hospital a more modern look, which includes new state-of-the-art medical equipment,” said Raymond Applewhite, public affairs officer for Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune. “The expansion of the brick and mortar facility provides room for the staff to spread out as we continue to enroll more patients.” Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune’s current facility opened its doors to service members, family members and retirees in 1983. At its inception, the hospital served a population of 95,000, said Patrick Alford, special assistant for growth and development. Now, the hospital serves 146,000 people, creating the need for a larger facility. The recent expansions include the emergency department and outpatient department wings, said Alford. The addition will house a pediatric clinic, dermatology clinic and sleep laboratory. Recently finished renovations include the chapel, case and information management spaces and the lobby, added Alford. The pharmacy is currently under renovation. A temporary pharmacy, located next to the outpatient clinic, is open to accommodate patients during renovations, said Alford. Upon completion, approximately 170,000 square feet of the hospital will have been renovated, added Alford. “It is an honor and privilege for us at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune to take care of America’s sons and daughters who volunteer to serve in the world’s greatest military, as well as their family members along with retirees,” said Applewhite.
an average promotion. The day was already big enough. The USS Somerset was just commissioned. It got bigger for me when I was promoted right after … just outside the ship.” After Banta finished reading the promotion warrant, Amos told Reyes to raise his right hand and repeat the oath of enlistment. “I was really motivated because he promoted me,” said Reyes. “I felt like I was re-enlisting again when the commandant told me to raise my right hand.” To conclude the ceremony, the commandant leaned in and shook Reyes’ hand and gave him his personal challenge coin. “I’m always going to carry the challenge coin he gave me to remember that day and the promotion, because I know it doesn’t happen to everybody,” said now Lance Cpl. Reyes. “Just like the first sergeant told me, this is an opportunity of a lifetime.”

2nd MlG Marines compete for W.p.T. hill award Cpl. Devin niChols 2nd marine logistics Group
Marines with Food Service Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, participated in the final leg of the W.P.T. Hill Award competition aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, March 10. The service members took to their field kitchen early in the morning with two missions: feed the surrounding units with hot meals in support of their training and pit their skills against the best in mess from the Marine Corps’ other top food service units to claim the coveted W.P.T. Hill Award. Originally established in 1985 to improve food service operations and recognize the best field and garrison messes in the Marine Corps, the competition tests Marine units on areas such as operations, sanitation, taste and quality of food. Food Service Company won its seat after beating out its competition on the East Coast. Now, the final
leg of the competition pits them against winners from the West Coast and overseas. “Automatically what comes to my mind is food service excellence within the United States Marine Corps, both the garrison and field site,” said Master Gunnery Sgt. Marco L. Barnes, a judge for the event. “Specifically whether its garrison or field, I want to see a concept of operation with Marines performing at a high level. Depending on what their mission is, there are different scenarios we are evaluating. We want to see the operations conducted at a high level and the Marines actually carrying out the mission.” Sanitation is a huge priority, noted Barnes, who stressed the particular importance of maintaining standards to safeguard troop health in a field environment. The company set up its Expeditionary Field Kitchen on one of the base’s ranges to simulate an isolated environment. Subject matter experts, including a representative from the
National Restaurant Association, visited the team at the field site to observe their performance under pressure. “We have been really working hard for the award, and I really hope we are able to pull through and get it this year,” said Cpl. Patrick J. Bonelli, the chief messman for the field site. The Marines prepared shepherd’s pie, white beans and chicken chili, and grilled steak as their main entrees. Side choices included rice, cornbread, baked potatoes and biscuits. They also established a separate fruit and salad bar to even out the spread. “Since being here at 5 a.m. this morning, we had some problems with the Expeditionary Field Kitchen we had to fix, but even with those problems we had a backup,” said Bonelli. “It was the cooks that were troubleshooting and not giving up on the task. No matter what the problem was, they still got the meal out and all of the Marines were able to eat on time.” With enough food to

are always happy to see them and see how we make their day a lot better. If we do not win, there was no lack of effort on anyone’s part. Everyone came together and worked hard, but I don’t see with the way they performed and how everyone is acting that it
will be a problem.” The final verdict on the competition will be announced over the next few months. The team selected for the award will be sent to Chicago, where they will be recognized for their performance by the National Restaurant Association.
Mess hall 303 defeats dining facilities throughout neighboring installations in quarterly competition lanCe Cpl. JaCkeline M. perez rivera marine Corps base Camp lejeune
Marines with French Creek’s Mess Hall 303 won Chef of the Quarter in a competition aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, March 14. Chef of the Quarter is a way to challenge culinary personnel throughout the base and boost their morale, said Wade Smith, a production manager with Mess Hall 640. Through the competition, participants can showcase their cooking abilities outside the boundaries of their typical day-to-day work. The winning meal, an autumn-themed menu featuring seasonal sautéed vegetables, a tender pork roast, a crisp salad with juicy pear, along with a dessert of harvest cookies and warm and spicy punch, was prepared by Sgt. Tannisha Gamble and Pfc. Jordan Agosto. It was their attention to detail and teamwork that brought them victory, said Gamble, who along with Agosto, serves as a food service specialist with Combat Logistics Group 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group. “I feel like a champion,” said Gamble. “It feels great to win.” To arrive at the final challenge, Gamble and Agosto competed against 12 teams of
civilian and military culinary artists from Marine Corps Air Station New River and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, as well as the mess halls throughout Camp Lejeune. The journey began with a workshop to learn advanced cooking techniques. To move on to the competition, participants were tested on mess hall operations and food safety. They also developed menus based on holiday and seasonal themes. The top four teams were chosen to compete in the final competition, where they put cooking skills to the test before a panel of food service experts. In the final competition, the victors, along with teams from Mess Hall 303, 455 and 420, prepared and presented their meals. The teams were judged on the quality and creativity displayed in the meal. Judges also looked at participants’ time management, table presentation and food safety throughout the cooking process. “It’s fun,” Smith added. “It lets them step outside of the box and breaks the monotony of working in the mess hall every day.” The challenges occur quarterly, and potential participants are notified of opportunities to compete through their chain of command.

St. Patrick’s Day Engineer Field Meet brings service members together lanCe Cpl. JaCkeline M. perez rivera marine Corps base Camp lejeune
Combat engineers gathered to enjoy a day of fun and competition at the annual Saint Patrick’s Day Engineer Field Meet at the Marine Corps Engineer School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, March 13. Marines with 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, Marine Wing Support Squadron272, Marine Wing Support Squadron273, as well as the students and staff at the engineer school participated in the event. “(The Saint Patrick’s Day Engineer Field Meet) is a chance to have all of the engineer units in the Camp Lejeune area come together for some competition,” said Maj. Michelle Macander, the operations officer with Marine Corps Engineer School. “It brings camaraderie within our community.” Marine engineers gather and celebrate annually near Saint Patrick’s Day because Saint Patrick is the patron saint of engineers.

Plank for total body strength Focus on
Fitness
with Desiree Nelson and Jason Pierce
A
ccording to American Council on Exercise, planks are superior to other core exercises because they offer a more three-dimensional activation from hip to shoulder, whereas maneuvers like the crunch are isolated, working only the abs. Think of your core muscles as the sturdy central link in a chain connecting your upper and lower body. Whether you’re humping up a steep hill or mopping the floor, the necessary motions either originate in your core or move through it. Thus, weak or inflexible core muscles can impair how well you perform daily functions. Proper building of core muscles increases strength. A strong core also enhances balance and stability. Over time, planks will teach your abs to automatically tense or contract during everyday duties. This is a great habit to develop as your tense abs provide additional strength and balance in your activity, and also greatly protects you from injury, especially injury to your lower back, an area where four out of five Americans experience excruciating and debilitating pain, according to the Mayoclinic.org. Therefore, it can
help prevent injuries during sports or other activities. In fact, a strong, flexible core underpins almost everything you do. Weak core muscles contribute to slouching. According to Harvard Medical School, planks can help maintain the stability of the core muscles, which support proper posture, by safeguarding an upright position and proper alignment of the spine. Good posture trims your silhouette and projects confidence. More importantly, it lessens wear and tear on the spine and allows you to breathe deeply. The plank not only strengthens the core, but when done correctly can induce scapular retraction – the movement of your shoulders up and back – and activate the transverse abdominus, glutes and quads. It also activates muscles in the shoulders, biceps, chest, lower back, thighs and calves; making it a compound exercise with total body benefits. The plank is a vigorous exercise that can provide multiple gains, which no other exercise can do without using some type of equipment. There are endless variations to the plank, all adding to the intensity and benefits of the powerful maneuver.
Quick Health Tips Take tulsi: Research suggests this Ayurvedic herb, also called holy basil, may help manage levels of the stress hormone cortisol, helping to boost your mood. Eat avocados: For dry skin, incorporate more avocados into your diet. They’re rich in monounsaturated fat and vitamin E, both of which promote healthy skin. Try them on salads, sandwiches and even in smoothies. Watch your carbs: Trying to reduce belly fat? Pay attention to your carbohydrate intake and avoid artificial sweeteners. Sugary snacks and other refined carbs spike blood sugar and cause pounds to settle in your midsection. Choose whole grains, beans and vegetables instead.

planks for overall fitness 1
Plank with extension One of the most effective ways to amplify a plank is to simply lift up an arm or foot, because it challenges your balance and ignites core muscles further than a traditional plank. To complete this exercise, start by getting into a plank position, bend your elbows and rest your weight on your forearms instead of on your hands. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles. Brace your core by contracting your abs. Raise and straighten your right arm, holding them parallel to the rest of your body. Lower to the starting position and alternate. To make the move harder, raise the arm and opposite leg. This will challenge your balance and engage your abs more.

Plank to push up This straightforward body-weight maneuver combines two exercises to provide the benefits of both, the plank and push up; working the arms and encouraging core control, endurance and flexibility. To complete this exercise, get into plank position. Press your body up into the top position of a pushup by pushing your arms up, one at a time. Pause, then reverse the movement and return to your elbows.

Side plank and rotate This plank variation targets the obliques, in addition to the rest of the core, shoulders and back muscles; making it ideal for streamlining your waist. To complete this exercise, lift your body into a side plank, and start with your right arm raised straight above you so that it’s perpendicular to the floor. Reach under and behind your torso with your right hand, keeping your abs braced. Lift your arm back up to the starting position. Roll onto your other side and repeat.

Wounded Marine overcomes obstacles, becomes pro Cpl Allison beisWAnger

n the 70-degree California weather, track stars are taking their warm up lap to start out the day. They’re focusing on their form and the rhythm of their breathing to ensure a better race. But unlike other track stars, this one is competing in a wheelchair. Cpl. Ivan Sears was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010, serving his country to protect his family and friends. While on patrol, he stepped on an improvised explosive device. He didn’t know what hit him. His fellow Marines from 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, saved his life. “All my boys kept me calm, patched me up and made sure I stayed alive,” Sears said. “They’re the reason I’m here today.” Sears lost both legs above the knee, but it wasn’t until later he fully grasped his life had changed forever. Sears wanted to stay with his unit in Afghanistan and offered to stand duty every day, but was transported to San Antonio Military Medical Center for rehabilitation. There, his upbeat attitude took a turn. He went to his appointments and did his required physical training, but said his social life completely plummeted. When asked to go out on the weekends, he preferred to stay in his barracks room. “I was basically like a hermit,” Sears said. Then something inside him clicked. "I thought, ‘I need to get out of this funk. The world’s not going to stop moving, I need to get out and do something with my life,’” Sears said. He turned to the Marine Corps Trials, which enables wounded, ill or injured Marines to focus on their abilities and find new avenues to thrive, in search of something better. Sears quickly bonded with the other wounded warriors by talking and swapping stories. “We all have the same story in some parts,” Sears said. “It helps everyone form a bond because we’ve been through a lot of similar experiences.” The Marine Corps Trials also gave Sears the opportunity to get his life back on track through sports. He began running track events with his prosthetic legs, but then a coach pulled him aside and asked if he would like to try wheelchair racing. The coach gave
Sears hope and told him he had great potential, so he decided to stick with it. Wheelchair racing became more of a lifestyle than a sport for Sears. In his first year, he earned a gold and silver medal at the 2013 Warrior Games, became certified for Paralympic standards, competed in nationals and even competed in an international competition in Germany. When thinking back to shortly after his injury, Sears gives credit to wheelchair racing for bettering his life. “When I race, all I think about is getting from one line to another,” Sears said. “I enjoy the view, and I just keep pushing.” Sears is training to compete in national wheelchair racing again, but his
ultimate goal is to join the Paralympic team. He says he knows he’ll be there one day, but he’s taking baby steps to get there. Since Sears has competed at an international level, he isn’t eligible to compete in the Warrior Games, a Paralympic-style joint service competition. Even though he can’t participate, his ambition this year at the Marine Corps Trials is to be a mentor to all the other athletes. Marine veteran Josue Barron is a known champion in wheelchair basketball at both the Marine Corps Trials and the Warrior Games. This is his third year, and Barron is trying something new: wheelchair racing. “At first I thought it was going
to be easy,” Barron said. “But that wheelchair racing is no joke. It’s pretty hard.” Sears’ natural ability to compete inspires Barron to do well. “Sears got really good at (wheelchair racing) in one year,” Barron said. “Him coming out here and giving me some tips and pointers will really help me go far.” Sears thinks back to how he felt when he got injured and says he can relate to others feeling the same way. He says depending on the effort you put in to a situation, is what you’ll get out of it. “Not everything’s easy, but if you put the hard work in, then you’ll get it,” Sears said. “And never give up. Even though you’re injured, there’s still life. Keep your head high.”

Newer, brighter Area 2 Pool reopens DeSiree NeLSoN Sports editor
W
ith much anticipation, the Area 2 Pool has reopened, offering patrons a cleaner, brighter and more versatile swim area. The three month renovation began Dec. 1, 2013, and concluded Feb. 26. In addition to a new deck, the pool features a rock climbing wall that leads directly from the pool as well as underwater treadmills and bikes. According to Jessica Dykstra, a lifeguard at the Area 2 indoor pool, the treadmills and bikes are an excellent source of therapy for those recovering from injuries. When athletes are injured, particularly in the lower extremities, they are frequently told to swim to maintain their fitness level. Swimming helps them stay in shape and aids in rehabilitation. According to Harvard Medical School, the resistance of the water makes the muscles
work hard without the strain or impact that is experienced on land. The Area 2 Pool serves mostly as an area for open swim and unit physical fitness, but has other options as well. “We offer AMP-IT (water aerobics) classes, individual swim lessons, active-duty lessons, group swim lessons and Saturday Swim School,” said Whitney Evans, aquatics manager. Individual swim lessons are $60 per person for five classes. Saturday Swim School begins at $20 per person and active-duty swim lessons are free. The pool is 25-yards wide and 50-yards long, making it ideal for swimming laps. According to the American Council on Exercise, swimming laps burns anywhere from 500-650 calories per hour, depending on how efficiently you swim and how buoyant you are. According to ACE, the butterfly burns the most calories, followed by the breaststroke and fast freestyle laps. A 130-pound person burns 325 calories swimming butterfly for half an
hour and 295 calories with the breaststroke. Research conducted by Harvard Medical School, suggests swimming also improves endurance. In one study of sedentary middle-aged men and women who did swim training for 12 weeks, maximal oxygen consumption improved 10 percent and stroke volume – the amount of blood pumped with each beat which indicates heart strength – improved as much as 18 percent. In other research, Harvard Medical School also concluded, regular swimming can lead to better flexibility, increased strength, a healthier heart and can even reduced Asthma symptoms. The pool is also handicap accessible and is equipped with aquatic steps and a chair lift. “I’ve been looking forward to the opening,” said Jason Carr, pool patron. “I’ve always spent my lunch breaks here and the new renovations are great.” For a list of pool hours, class times or other information, visit www.mccslejeune.com/pools or call 450-2024.

Clay crushers get ready for an exciting season AShley TorreS

s the throwing arm of the skeet trap spins and the biodegradable clay targets are flung into the air, shooters attempt to hit their mark from eight different positions. Many avid hunters and recreational shooters gather at McIntyre-Parks Recreational Shooting Complex aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, year round. In one accessible location, the McIntyre-Parks Recreational Shooting Complex combines skeet, trap, five-stand shooting and hosts an archery club. “We are primarily a skeet range, but have two trap ranges and one fivestand here (as well),” said Jim Hill, McIntyre-Parks Recreational Shooting Complex range manager. With a variety of options for everyone, the complex includes two traps, three wobbles — which constantly move left and right— and the five-stand where targets roll on the ground and fly in different angles through the air, making shooting more challenging. According to the gunowner’s organziation, there are numerous benefits to recreational and target shooting. Recreational shooting can be a family, individual and lifetime sport. Shooting can build mental and physical discipline while increasing stamina, hand-eye coordination, concentration levels and problem solving skills. The range staff is available to as-
sist participants from beginners to advanced and provide instructional classes. New shooters can learn how to engage targets with a shotgun, and the first lesson is free. Ammunition and rental weapons are available for purchase. “(I enjoy) working with the customers and instructing,” said Robert Scozzari, McIntyre-Parks Recreational Shooting Complex, lead recreation attendant. “It’s amazing when you teach someone who’s never shot before and they come back later, except this time with more people.” Beginning April 11, teams of five will gather at the complex for the 2014 Intramural Skeet Shooting Tournament. Active-duty participants will receive free ammunition, but all other patrons are required to buy their own rounds during check-in. All active-duty service members and authorized Department of Defense civilians interested in participating, can register at the Intramural Sports Office located at Goettge Memorial Field House aboard Camp Lejeune. The skeet, trap, five-stand and archery ranges are accessible to patrons at least 16 years of age, or accompanied by a parent or guardian. Participants can bring their own equipment, but ammunition is limited to seven and a half, eight or nine lead shots, according to Hill.

ChALLENGE from 1b

According to Mike Marion, race director and founder of the Semper Fit Grand Prix Series, one of the goals of the race is to promote camaraderie.

Participants brave muddy waters to avoid slippery balance beams, during the St. Paddy’s Engineer 5-mile Challenge, Saturday, at Courthouse bay aboard Marine Corps base Camp Lejeune. The event was the second race in the Semper Fit Grand Prix Series 2014 Trifecta.
To accommodate runners, starts were staggered and areas of the course were widened to prevent bottlenecking. In addition, walls were expanded making them higher, creating more of a challenge for participants. Over-under obstacles and a maze were also added to this year’s course. “I thought this year’s race was tougher than the last,” said Alex Rodriguez, race participant. “There were a lot more mud pits this time around. It was a lot of fun.” This was the second year participants ran this particular course and it seems to have become a favorite. Registration more than doubled that of last year’s. Marion associates the spike in participation to the unique design and obstacles of the course. “I run most of the Grand Prix races,” said Devin Alberson, race participant. “But I was looking forward to this one the most. It’s only five miles but its tough, in a good way.” According to Marion, the goal of the race, as with all Grand Prix Series races, is to offer a variety of events and unique opportunities for individuals of all background and skill levels, to test their physical fitness, mental preparedness and athletic skills. “We offer a ‘Grand Prix family’ environment and are open to all runners or walkers regardless of their ability, to include handicapped divisions,” said Marion. “We have team competitions where team members can compete with their team and as individuals at the same time. It gives our active-duty a friendly break from the normal day-to-day training.” Over time the Grand Prix Series has become a second family to many of its participants. “We have runners that have been with us for ten to twenty years and we get new followers every year,” said Marion. “These races allow our active-duty, reserve, retired and civilian populations to come together in friendly competition.” Throughout the course runners could be seen helping fellow participants through obstacles. Muddy arms reached into chest-high waters and hoarse voices cheered on those
needing encouragement. “You see a lot of camaraderie and teamwork at these races,” said Ashley Downs, race participant. “It’s not really about finishing first. I’ve had complete strangers pull me out of mud pits and help me climb rope walls. I’ve made a lot of friends running these (races).” While waiting to cheer friends through the finish line, spectators enjoyed music, refreshments and light fare. Runners were able to wash away caked-on mud at shower stations before celebrating their accomplishment. Many participants were covered head-to-toe, something many associate with the mark of a good race. “The mud is my favorite part,” said Denise Bombard, laughing. “There’s nothing like dragging yourself through a chest-high mud pit. You know it’s been a good race when you’re washing it out of your hair.” Top three male finishers included Jason Kut with a finish time of 35:48 minutes, William Hohmeier at 37:03 and Michael Siringer at 38:41. Top female finishers were Amy Mohr with a time of 45 minutes, Marisol Salgado at 46:20 and Marykate Helms with 47:48. As participants recovered post race, awards were given out. Every finisher received a medal, but according to Marion, more than 110 additional awards are handed out in age and team categories. Finishers also earned five points for the end-of-the-year Grand Prix Series awards. Those who compete in all three of the Grand Prix Series Trifecta races will receive a unique medal and t-shirt. This course was the second race in the Semper Fit Grand Prix Series 2014 Trifecta. The third and final event, MARSOC’s Mud Sweat and Tears, will take place April 26, at Stone Bay aboard Camp Lejeune. “We had such a great time,” said Josh Pines, race participant. “We’re looking forward to challenging ourselves at the rest of the (Grand Prix) races this year.” For more information about the Grand Prix Series 2014 Trifecta and other events, visit www.mccslejeune.com/grandprix or call 450-1342.

Now playing at Camp Lejeune and Midway Park
bring this action packed story to life. “The Lego Movie” is a sweet and very creative adventure saga that evolves like a new invention of the famous Lego blocks and should be a blast for all the Lego fans around the world. Note: The Lego building blocks were founded in the 1940’s by a Danish carpenter and have been turned into an empire that includes a theme park and now appears as a perfect showcase in an animated film.
“THE LEGO MOVIE” (PG) “The Lego Movie” is a family friendly computergenerated animated tale about the 70 year old classic and very identifiable toy parts. Chris Pratt lends his voice for the cheery mini figure, Emmet Brockowosti, a construction worker, who always sings along and watches TV. By chance he stumbles into the rebellious Wyldstyle, voiced by Elizabeth Banks. Liam Neeson can be heard as the Bad Cop/ Good Cop, a swivelheaded enforcer. Writer and director team Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (“Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs”)
Now playing at Carmike 16 and Patriot Theater 12 in Jacksonville “300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE” (R) “300: Rise of an Empire” is a new chapter of the epic saga which takes the action to a new battlefield.

In Maryellen Tissandier’s 4th grade classroom learning takes a different approach from the chalkboard and textbook standard of years past. Her teaching is supplemented by a wide variety of tools, along with Tissander’s strong drive and innovative style, which contributed to Tissandier being recognized as Camp Lejeune’s 2013 Teacher of the Year last month. Tissandier uses technology to show different aspects of the subjects she covers. By presenting the curriculum in interactive ways, the students gain a deeper understanding of the topic. “I always try to integrate technology,” said
Tissandier. “Technology takes a child outside of the classroom.” Students can explore the world through interactive, technology-fueled lessons. Using a smart board, students see and participate in presentations detailing different clouds for a science lesson, or experience for themselves what the United States is like for a lesson on regions. The smart board also allows Tissandier to get a real time response to any difficulties a student may have. Students can answer questions using a smart responder, if they are struggling, Tissandier can help immediately. “Technology is the learning format of most of our kids,” said Jennifer Steimel, the assistant principal of Tarawa Ter-
race Elementary School. “It’s important to not only be aware of it, but to do everything you can to implement it so students can use those tools for learning.” However, technology is only one of the many instruments a teacher needs to reach students and is not a replacement for quality instruction, Steimel added. “(Tissandier) knows how to use the technology to meet the needs of the kids,” said Steimel. “She’s very good at using that particular tool in the toolbox.” Tissandier has taught at Camp Lejeune schools for four years, primarily at Tarawa Terrace Elementary School. She is one of 312 teachers throughout seven schools aboard the base. During her tenure,
&
she has not only focused on teaching, but also provided a helping hand to fellow teachers. “This is my first year here,” said Juanita James, a 5th grade teacher, who taught for nine years in Alabama before teaching at Tarawa Terrace Elementary School. “She was the person I could always ask questions to. She became my unofficial mentor.” Tissandier is a team player who is focused on helping all students and teachers succeed, James added. She was welcoming and helpful without being a know-it-all. James looked to her for ideas on how to organize her classroom when she was new to the school, as well as guidance on the technology available to teachers.
“She is always willing to share her knowledge,” said James. “No matter who it is, she is willing to help.” Tissandier is familiar with the challenges her students and their families face; she is a military spouse whose husband is deployed and the mother of a two-year-old son. It was this connection that led her to choose to work with military children. “Sometimes our parents think we don’t understand what it’s like (in the military community),” said Steimel. “She knows what it’s like from every avenue. She understands what parents are going through. She understands what spouses are going through. She understands what the kids are going through. As the parent of a child with a
deployed father, she has a bird’s-eye-view.” Tissandier’s ability to use technology to relate to her students’- learning needs and to support them through the unique challenges of the military community are only a few of the reasons she was awarded as Teacher of the Year. “I can see a lot of qualities in her that make her an excellent teacher,” said James. “Her students are always actively engaged and well-behaved. She genuinely loves what she does. It’s a calling for her.” Tissander will compete with teachers throughout all Department of Defense Education Activity schools for the opportunity to be recognized as 2014’s National Teacher of the Year.

Lejeune doctor volunteers service in congo
DeSiree NeLSoN Sports editor
“You never know how much of a difference you can make until you try. There are people out there who need help. I believe it’s our duty to offer what we can,”said Dr. Mark Johnson, dentist with 2nd Dental Battalion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. On Jan. 31, Johnson set off on a three-week journey to Congo aboard the Africa Mercy, the world’s largest charity hospital ship, which provides medical care to developing countries in Africa. “A lot of people in that area are desperately poor. When an organization can come in and provide state-of-the-art care, it gives
those people the feeling they’re not forgotten by the rest of the world. It lets them know they are important and gives them hope.” The 62-year-old dentist has practiced for nearly 38 years. For four of those years he worked as a dentist in the Navy followed by four years of private practice before becoming a dentist for the federal government. During his time in the Congo, Johnson used his skills to cure locals of progressed dental issues stemming from lack of healthcare and training. Without volunteers like Johnson, many will die. According to Mercy Ships, every year, more than 6 million die from preventable diseases. One
child in eight will die before age 5. “Many of them had large facial swelling and extended years of tooth decay. There were multiple occasions of severe dental infections,” said Johnson. “On average we extracted two to four teeth per patient. I alone saw from ten to fifteen patients per day.” Of the many individuals Johnson cared for, two had life threatening dental infections. Without care, infection could have spread to the rest of their bodies, ultimately killing them. According to Johnson, a lot of the issues in developing countries like Congo, stem from lack of access to medical care. The area suffers from underdeveloped infrastructure to include roads and railways. The
small amount of money is available goes to those endeavors, leaving virtually nothing for healthcare. “Volunteers and organizations like Mercy Ships are needed to fill the healthcare gaps said Johnson. If we want these countries to do better, then we need to help them out.” Mercy Ships is a global charity, operating a fleet of hospital vessels to aid developing countries since 1978. The Mercy Africa has been in service since April 2000. Johnson had previously been on three other volunteer missions with his church. It was the experience of those missions that made him want to continue volunteering. “I was looking for something different than my
previous missions,” said Johnson. (Congo) was an area I was interested in doing work and as a Christian I wanted to love and take care of my neighbors.” Despite the love he has for his work, Johnson isn’t used to receiving many thanks for his services. “Being a dentist, you don’t get a lot of positive feedback,” said Johnson. “Most people don’t find the experience enjoyable.” So it came as a surprise when a Congo patient hugged him after extracting her painful teeth. According to Johnson, the women had been quite scared to undergo the procedure. “It was really a sweet moment, and I could tell I had made a difference in this women’s life,” said Johnson. When you see
the amount of dental problems in the country, it can be overwhelming. But when you see the individual lives, you know you’ve made a difference.” He hopes to return to Congo in February or March of next year to continue his volunteer efforts. “The experience has been life changing and unforgettable. Working with these people has touched me deeply. It makes me want to go back again and again,” said Johnson. “I encourage anyone who is looking to volunteer to just do it. Don’t think about it. Don’t say you will someday. Do it and do it now. It truly is a rewarding experience that will not only change the lives of those you help, but yours as well.”

Bryant continues to serve veterans, service members AshLey torres lifestyles editor
Selfless veterans continue to serve every day within the Jacksonville community. John Bryant, a retired Staff Sergeant with 20 years of service, has become a familiar face among these behind-the-scene veterans through his continued service with organizations like the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 16 and Rolling Thunder NC-5. After returning from a three-year tour in Iwakuni, Japan in 1999, Bryant was stationed aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, where he remained for the rest of his military career. Bryant soon discovered the comraderie of the Jacksonville retired community, which influenced his decision to stay in the area. “I’m having a blast (after retiring),” said Bryant. “I’m able to give back to those (within the community) who have given so much to me.” Looking back on his military service, Byrant reflected on some of his greatest achievements and highlights of his career. As a service member, Bryant traveled to numerous countries like Australia, Greece, Spain, England and
Germany for humanitarian work. He learned about the different cultures and how other people in the world lived. From 1988 to 1990, Bryant served as a drill instructor aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. and worked with 2nd Maintenance Battalion aboard Camp Lejeune. “There are great leaders in all of us,” said Bryant. “Know your potential, because the memories you make now will stay with you courtesy photo for the rest of your life.” Following his military ca- John Bryant, the commander for the Disabled reer, Bryant received the push American Veterans chapter 16, retired as a staff sgt. he needed to get involved after 20 years of service in the Marine corps. with the retired community ant realized he wanted to he attended a Rolling Thunwhen his two friends Randy get more involved within the der NC-5 meeting where he learned about Prisoners of Reichler and Kathy Fresia community.

A
bout three years ago, one of the ways that I convinced my daughters into moving to Jacksonville, N.C. from Southern California was that we would be able to see snow. Well, for the past three winters we have spent here, we have yet to see real snow falling from the sky. When the weather started getting a bit chilly, my daughters would always start praying for snow, and I was close to being called a liar. Well, about three weeks ago, their prayers were finally answered, and it was answered big time. When my daughters looked out the window on Wednesday morning, they both screamed fanatically, witnessing our driveway and front lawn fully covered in white snow. They could not contain their joy. The weather was still very cold, but our family spent the whole day playing in the snow. Not only did they get their snow, but school was out, too. It was like Christmas all over again. However, I can’t imagine having another week like that one again. The schools were closed, and I couldn’t come to work because of the road conditions. We all got cabin fever because we couldn’t go anywhere or do anything other than play in the snow, or watch some movies together. The snow was a gift to us for the first couple of days or so, but then it quickly became another source of frustration. Snow days are good, but I also need rainy days, sunny days, foggy days and cloudy days. What about other things in life? Broccoli is obviously good for your health, but you can’t eat broccoli only. When you do your physical training, it’s important to do different exercises every day. You see, balance in life is an important aspect that brings wholeness into our living. We need to think about balancing different areas of our lives. Think about your fitness not only as a Marine or sailor, but also as a parent, son, daughter or a spouse. Think about your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual fitness in your life. It was Thomas Merton, a Catholic monk, who said, “Happiness is not a matter of intensity, but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.”

Emilio Garza, Principal of Brewster Middle School, explains details of a proposed Lejeune High School dress code to parents, teachers and students at a town hall meeting aboard Marine corps Base camp Lejeune, March 13. Members of the the community gathered at the Lejeune High school auditorium to ensure their voices were heard during the meeting. Topics included the proposed school dress code and the common core state standards.
School district town hall meeting addresses proposed changes LancE cPL. JarEd LinGafELT

Students, teachers and parents gathered at the Lejeune High School auditorium to discuss proposed changes affecting students aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, March 13. Representatives from the Camp Lejeune District Schools presented a new proposed school dress code, future requirements and expectations of the schools and the new common core education standards. “It was another opportunity for the school district to communicate with parents,” said Brig. Gen. Robert Castellvi, commanding general of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. “It was a very civil discussion, and everyone who wanted to express their opinion had an opportunity to do so.” Although multiple important topics were addressed, the proposed school dress code garnered the most attention. “So many parents are passionate about the proposed school dress code; whether they agree with each other or not, each person was able to express themselves in a safe and open environment,” said Kathy Hall, Lejeune High School, school board president. Parents of future high school students also attended to learn more in the years ahead of their children’s education. “I came to the meeting to be more informed on what was going to shift the decisions affecting our students,” said Tanyetta McKoy, elementary school parent and military spouse. With differing opinions on the issue, the debate gave a chance for patrons on either side of the topic to share their concerns. “My children should be able to express themselves,” said Laura Romero, a parent and military spouse. “Most of what I saw in the presentation was too conservative.” Others felt the changes would be an
opportunity for students to focus more on learning, rather than what they should be wearing. “When I was growing up, we were raised to dress professionally,” said McKoy. “Students are here to learn, and we need to recognize that some clothing or lack of clothing can be distracting.” The town hall meeting was also a forum to discuss concerns and opinions affecting their children’s education. “Each school administrator has principal chats once a month, which are advertised usually in the school newsletter,” said Hall. “We also have school board meetings once a month on the third Thursday of each month where parents are always encouraged to attend.” Dr. Aldridge Boone, the Camp Lejeune District Schools superintendent, says getting involved early is the key to success in these important topics. “It is extremely important to get your voice heard,” said Boone. “The mistake we make sometimes is we wait too long to express our opinions, and the process gets too far down the road and it’s too late.” Regardless of the issue, getting involved and being informed is no doubt the key to being a part of the solution, said Castellvi. “Use any forum you can to communicate with your school district and your teachers, and this is one of those opportunities where you can get face-to-face and take part in very civil discussion,” said Castellvi. Patrons left the meeting reassured that their concerns were heard, giving the school administrators a chance to hear what is important to the parents and families affected by the changes. “For the base, parents and school administrators, it allowed us to reaffirm our commitment to our students and enhance the communication with each other,” said Castellvi.

Wearing safety goggles, kids began mixing baking soda, vinegar and dish soap into handmade volcanos as they watched a replica of a volcanic eruption, gasping in amazement as the orange bubbles overflowed onto the table. The children raced from table to table where volunteers waited with numerous experiments from making ice cream in bins, racing marbles on tracks, to creating homemade lava lamps and watching as real money was set on fire but didn’t burn. “We’ve done a few of these (experiments) before (at home), but this is a little more advanced and (Alivia) enjoys it,” said Gunnery Sgt. Jerrod Woolard, a participant at the Science Frenzy. Patrons also experienced robotic technology, where the participants created robots with connectable toy parts and attached them to batteries.
Students from the Northwoods Middle School robotic club assisted participants in building and programming the robots to go forward, backward, travel a certain distance, turn left, or right. While children battled robots, other organizations such as the Sturgeon City Organization and the New River Foundation brought fossils and flat flounder fish to educate families about the ocean. “We (were) surprised with the turnout,” said Marcaccio. “It was supposed to be a small event, however, people kept calling to register.” With the success of the first Science Frenzy, the Jacksonville Recreation and Parks staff is eager to prepare for their upcoming Spring and Summer events.

For those of you who qualify for placing TRADER ADS, you can use this online service, too. Before you begin, keep a couple of things in mind. • Do Not Abbreviate, hyphenate or combine any word with the use of slashes, commas, or periods. • You MUST have a space between words. • Please spell everything out and type in LOWER CASE, we will put your first few words of your ad in UPPER CASE and bold • Your ad will run weekly, starting on THURSDAY(s) and will publish in BOTH the Globe newspaper & Globe website for the number of weeks you select. You can not run your classified ad on individual days. • Deadline for Classified and Trader ads is Thursday 11a.m. EST, one week prior to publication date. *Deadlines may be earlier during weeks of major holidays. The preview you will see of your ad is a close approximation of how the ad will appear in the newspaper. In most cases, it will be exactly the same; however, no matter how different it may appear in print, your price will not change. All of the following pages are

Marine Corps Installations East welcomes new commanding general LANCE CPL. JUSTIN A. RODRIGUEZ Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

rig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations East relinquished his position to Brig. Gen. Robert. F. Castellvi in front of family and friends at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, July 12. Among the attendees, fellow Marines shared their thoughts on Gorry. “Thousands of Marines and civilians on base are going to remember and miss him for the good he’s done,” said Maj. Gen. Juan Ayala, commander of Marine Corps Installations Command. “With re-
sponsibilities commanding in five different states, he worked to create growth on Lejeune with a diminishing economy.” Gorry, who has been the commanding general for MCIEAST since July 22, 2011, came into his position after serving as the director for Command and Staff College, Marine Corps University aboard MCB Quantico. Gorry also spent four years at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island as a Series Commander, Company Commander and Battalion S-4 Officer. Gorry holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina. “Thank you for allowing me to be here and supporting my efforts,” said Gorry. “A great relationship between
Brig. Gen. Robert. F. Castellvi
the base and town can’t happen overnight, but the Marines, their families and local government have done everything they can to help me. I’m looking forward to continuing on in the Fleet Marine Force and see great things come from Camp
Lejeune.” Castellvi, who comes into the position as commander of MCIEAST, holds
a degree in finance from the University of Illinois, with a Marine Corps career that began in 1984 as an infantry officer with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines. Castellvi comes to MCB Camp Lejeune from 1st Marine Expeditionary Force where he served as the chief of staff. “I’m anxious to get out and meet each and every one of you,” said Castellvi. “I’m proud to be a part of this all. I pinched myself this morning to make sure none of this is a dream. I want to continue the legacy on Lejeune. I will dedicate every day to support the Marines and sailors on Camp Lejeune. This is your Marine Corps. The Corps belongs to the people, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”

Warlords protect Bastion, Leatherneck, Shorabak CPL. LIA ADKINS
Regional Command Southwest
With fighting season well underway and in preparation for Ramadan, the Warlords of Company F, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, were in a high operations tempo to counter a possible increase in insurgent activity. The unit, whose mission is to protect Camps Bastion, Leatherneck and Shorabak, recently conducted three consecutive operations to disrupt enemy activity in Helmand province – Operations Kodiak VI, Grizzly II and Dragon’s Teeth. The ongoing operations entail intelligence-driven missions, clearing missions or a mixture of both. In an intelligence-driven mission, the Marines search to identify or contain specific targets. In clearing missions, they search for caches of weapons or explosive materials. The Marines traveled on foot for all three operations, thoroughly searching compounds for any signs of weapons caches or possible labs of explosive materials. Although the Marines didn’t find any weapons caches, they did collect residue samples for testing and were able to contact local elders for information about suspicious activity in the area.

With hours still left in their patrols, the Marines do their best to spend time anywhere they can find shade as they search from one compound to another. “(Patrolling) can be rough at times and sometimes it gets pretty annoying if you end up not finding anything,” said Smith. “But that feeling of pride when you come back with some great intelligence is a great feeling. That is what gets you through the days.” The Marines have faced nearly 75 significant events in their two and a half months operating in Helmand province. The incidents include direct fire, and small-arms fire engagements to the discovery of improvised explosive devices. The Warlords have encountered nearly 20 Improvised Explosive Devices so far. Smith recalls two occasions when his platoon came under direct fire, forcing the Marines to take immediate action and engage the enemy. SEE WARLORDS 7A
