Marines and their coali-tion partners who suffer con-cussions, brain injuries, or joint and tissue damage, are now able to be evaluated and diagnosed locally in Helmand province since the arrival of a Magnetic Resonance Imag-ing machine at Camp Leath-erneck, recently.

Concussions are one of the most common injuries suffered by coalition forces in Helmand, said Capt. Jeffrey W. Timby, surgeon for Re-gional Command Southwest.

“The machine will help to diagnose and understand the head injuries troops are experiencing, said Timby. “The majority of Marines

who suffer mild concussions recover without further ther-apy, but this machine will help us find out why a cat-egory of Marines don’t seem

to recover as quickly.”About a year ago, former

chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Michael Mul-len, made it a priority to en-sure that American troops had all the tools they needed medically to be successful.

“Having the MRI machine gives us that opportunity,” said Timby.

The machine will be kept at the Camp Bastion Role III hospital. Medical personnel say that locating it at the camp will be advantageous to coali-tion forces since Bastion is where radiologists work and that it will be safer for patients to have the machine located inside the medical facility.

In fairy tales, it’s the wicked witch who desperately wants a pair of shiny shoes or the brutish baron of some dark and spooky tower who really just needs a hug. In ro-mantic comedies, it’s the stuck-up fraternity boy who belittles the scrawny underdog and his goofy cadre of friends in front of the dream girl.

This individual carries a number of names, from villain to foe; it’s the nemesis with a million faces or the shadowy figure hiding in the alleys of the mind and rid-ing on the back of one’s thoughts. It is the enemy.

Out here in the knee-deep “moon” dust of the Sangin District, the enemy is often formless and faceless. For a squad of Ma-

rine infantrymen patrolling small patches of land teaming with life and color, known as the green zone, an area both beautiful and exceedingly dangerous, it’s a violent phantom whose face is rarely seen.

In today’s war, Marine and coalition forces are required to exhibit a level of re-straint rarely seen on the battlefield, but in order to succeed in their mission, they must do more than restrain. Marines and sailors build rapport with the local populace on an individual level. They learn names, histo-ries, forge bonds and after enough time and shared hardship – friendships.

They empathize and connect, but in some ways this is nothing new. For men at war, there are always questions they ask themselves, and at times, one another.

Who are these men we’re fighting?

Marines are well known for victories and hard fought battles throughout history, but humanitarian missions are a growing part of the Marine Corps’ mission.

Five Marines from 8th Engineer Sup-port Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, took part in Operation Continu-ing Promise, a five-month humanitarian mission through the Caribbean and South America recently.

The detachment helped rebuild schools and clinics, and even built two classrooms from the ground up.

“It was a good experience all around,” said Staff Sgt. Mauricio Molinadiaz, who was the staff noncommissioned officer in charge of the group. “All the people we en-countered were really grateful.”

Most people the Marines met weren’t just grateful, they showered them with thanks and gratitude to an almost surreal level, Molinadiaz added.

A total of 15 engineering and construc-tion projects were completed in Jamaica,

Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Haiti.

“These people were thanking us for things we take for granted on a daily ba-sis,” Molinadiaz said. “We don’t always realize it, but schools and medical services are things other countries don’t have.”

Some of the areas visited during the op-eration had hundreds of students, but only one classroom, Molinadiaz explained.

“This whole experience was life chang-ing,” he said. “You don’t expect countries and cities to not have schools, clinics or medical supplies, but there are places that don’t.

“I’m just glad we got the opportunity to give a lending hand on the behalf of the Marine Corps,” he concluded.

Whether defending others in foreign lands, or making an effort to help countries in need, the Marine Corps sets forth with its best effort.

Molinadiaz and his team of four Ma-rines showed their dedication to helping others, not just for their country but also for people across the globe.

Months of planning came together last week as military and civilian attor-neys from around the state converged at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune for a two-day con-ference to further their understanding of some key issues affecting service mem-bers and their families. Speakers in-cluded a nationally-recognized military family law attorney, an administrative law judge for social security disability adjudication, chiefs of legal assistance of Marine Corps Installations East and XVIII Airborne Corps, Fort Bragg, a representative of the North Carolina attorney general, the clerk of court for Onslow County, the chairman of the North Carolina State Bar Committee on Legal Assistance for Military Personnel, senior counsel for government affairs of the Center for Responsible Lending, ex-perts concerning special needs planning, military disability evaluation and other prominent counsel.

The conference kicked off Thurs-day morning with noted attorney Mark Sullivan, retired Army colonel and re-nowned author of the American Bar Association publication, “The Military Divorce Handbook.” Sullivan provided a detailed analysis of military pen-sion division in divorce cases, and then moved on to discuss the Servicemember Civil Relief Act, particularly focusing on its implications for family law. Lt. Col. Pete Faerber and his team (Sgt. Benja-min Clayton, Capt. Amelia Kays) from

MCB Camp Lejeune finished up the morning session with an overview of the military Physical Disability Evalua-tion System, the process by which it is determined whether service members are medically fit to continue military ser-vice and, if not, what rating and benefits may result from that disability.

Bettie Gurganus, clerk of court for Onslow County, began the afternoon session with a short history of the clerk’s office, a description of its organization and functions, including its myriads du-ties and powers over probate matters, adoptions, foreclosures and other spe-cial proceedings. George Humphrey, partner in a Greensboro law firm, pro-vided information concerning landlord and tenant issues, followed by Bailey Li-ipfert, partner in a Winston-Salem law firm concentrating on estate planning, elder law and special needs trusts.

The second day began with a walk through the dependent support regula-tions of all the branches of the armed forces, and their implications for the drafting of marital separation agree-ments. David Benbow, chairman of the North Carolina LAMP, then provided instruction concerning legal ethics, fol-lowed by insights from Col. Tom Pitt-man, retired and Lt. Col. Robert Nun-ley, retired, concerning mental health and substance abuse problems and pro-grams of the North Carolina State Bar to assist attorneys within the state to ad-dress these issues.

Judge Robert Rideout provided in-struction concerning social security disability, focusing on the rules used by judges to decide disability cases and the benefits that may be available to wounded warriors. The remainder of the conference was devoted to consumer issues. Caroline Farmer, deputy director of Citizen Services of the North Caro-lina Attorney General’s office, provided information concerning the scourge of identity theft, gave suggestions for rip-off prevention, and described laws address-ing this issue. Chris Kukla, senior coun-sel for CRL, provided a detailed analysis of auto financing, putting dealer tactics and tricks under a microscope. The con-ference ended with a short presentation on government agencies that attorneys and consumers may turn to for report-ing fraud and redressing grievances.

Consisting of 12 hours of instruc-tion, including segments on substance abuse and ethics, the course fulfilled the entire annual requirement for continu-ing legal education for members of the North Carolina State Bar. Co-hosted by the SJA, MCIEAST and the North Carolina LAMP, the course was free to service members, military retirees and Department of Defense employ-ees. Many of the presenter slideshows and manuscripts from this and previ-ous conferences have been posted to the North Carolina LAMP website: nclamp.gov Click on the CLE Confer-ence section.

SGT. EARNEST J. BARNES2nd Marine Division (Forward)

The Government of the Islamic Republic of Af-ghanistan opened several schools within Marjah Dis-trict recently, with the intent on educating tomorrow’s future for the nation.

The residents of Marjah celebrated more than six school openings in the past month. Government repre-sentatives, local residents, students and Marines with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (Forward), gath-ered on several occasions to commemorate opening day ceremonies at various locations.

Students from 5 to 17 years of age lined up for the Balakino School opening ceremony located in cen-tral Marjah. A number of government representatives spoke to the crowd about the importance of security, education, and the future of Afghanistan at this particu-lar ceremony.

“Before, the people were under the pressure of the insurgency, so they would not come to school. (Teach-ers) could not do their jobs properly because of the in-surgents,” said Muhammad Dawood, the headmaster of one of the recently opened schools. “It is very impor-tant that the coalition forces are providing security. Now the kids are coming to the schools.”

Educational opportuni-ties were not widely avail-able in Marjah under the negative insurgent influ-ence formerly in the area, according to Dawood. He said with the increased se-curity, local residents are not scared to send their chil-dren to school now.

“A little over a year ago,

this area was controlled by the insurgents, and none of these schools were open,” said 1st Lt. Joe Falvey, a platoon commander with Company K, 3rd Bn., 6th Marines. “It is only since Afghan National Security Force (personnel) and the government have gained in-fluence here that the schools have been reopened. It’s obviously having a really strong effect on the people, because 600 students are here at Balakino. (There are) 200, 300 and 400 at a lot of the other schools. There was zero when the insurgents were here.”

Areas like Marjah have progressed to the point now where the government is ready to run things, and ANSF is ready to provide security, added Falvey, who is Company K’s gov-ernment liaison. Falvey works with local govern-ment representatives to coordinate any Marine Corps assistance they need for development projects, like the school openings, within the company’s area of responsibility.

Headmasters in Mar-jah said they expect more students to begin attending schools as ANSF expands its presence in the area. The schools that recently opened have seen an influx of eager students who are ready to learn.

“We are teaching Pashto and Dari up to third grade,” said Dawood, who has been an educator for 14 years. “In sixth grade, they will start learning Arabic, Eng-lish and subjects like this.”

Language is not the only curriculum taught in these Marjah schools. There is a variety of subjects being of-fered to students, to include mathematics, chemistry and biology, according to Dawood.

Falvey said the new school openings in Com-pany K’s area will give more than 1,200 young-sters the opportunity to gain an education.

Most of the schools in central Marjah are hard structure buildings, while other schools are held in temporary tent structures until plans can be finalized to construct permanent buildings.

Local elders have been instrumental in the plan-ning process of the school openings. They expressed the need for schools in the area and have worked with headmasters to en-sure student registration. Local ANSF leaders are large contributors in this

process also, ensuring the elders and headmasters are working through the government.

“The goal of (the Af-ghan government) is to get schools to work with the ministry of education. The ministry of education is able to pay the teachers, provide supplies, and stan-dardize the curriculum,” said Falvey. “The headmas-ters are working to improve their schools, and the key to that is working with the ministry of education.”

Elders in other areas are interested in starting new schools as well, and the Af-ghan government plans to open several more schools within the area in the near future, according to Falvey.

What drives them? What makes them want to do us harm? Do they have a family? Will they be missed?

“My very first challenge with be-ing a Marine in the infantry was when we did a (Battle Damage As-sessment) on a target that was killed,” said Sgt. Daniel Pluth, now on his fourth deployment where he serves with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regi-ment. “I got to talking with someone and it popped into my mind; that guy, what was he doing a few days before that? What was he doing ten minutes before? Was he drinking tea? Twid-dling his thumbs waiting for us to show up?”

For Marines like Pluth who have carried the brunt of the war effort, from Operation Phantom Fury in 2004, when he took part in the push to take Fallujah, Iraq, to the helicop-ter-borne insertion into the insurgent held city of Marjah, Afghanistan, during Operation Moshtarak on his last deployment with 1st Battalion, 6th Marines. The nagging of his con-science has caused his thoughts to wander to the men he and his peers are called to fight.

“I’ve talked to others about not knowing who these men we’re fight-ing are, and wanting to know what they did,” explained Pluth. “Maybe it’s just one of my things, but I’d re-ally like to try to understand where the thought comes from. Why are you going to put that (bomb) in the road, to kill me? Is that it; is that your only answer? But, what if his answer is, I’m doing it so they don’t die — my family, my children. That’s some-thing I would do for my family, if I

was stuck in that situation.”The thought of a warrior with a

conscience may seem like an over-used cliché. In a war with no clear line in the sand dividing combatants from civilians, and where success de-pends heavily on the support of the local populace, it may prove instru-mental, not only to the mission, but to the clarity of conscience for Ma-rines and sailors returning home after a decade of war.

“The significance of empathy (in combat) is you then begin to put a face to the war and you’re not just going out and hunting after some-body,” explained Navy Lt. Nathan Rice, a chaplain with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment. “You’re actu-ally thinking; that is someone’s son, someone’s child. The other side of it is, you also have to protect yourself. I think the importance of empathy is you begin to understand your actions in regard to the mission at hand. Not to question it, but to help retain your humanity while at war.”

“A lot of that is getting to un-derstand the brutality of war,” said Rice whose role within the battalion is to offer guidance, both spiritual and moral to Marines and sailors in need.

“It’s almost like a necessary evil, but you have to remind (Marines) that this is what we’re called to do,” explained Rice.

“You have to take into account that you’re doing what you’re commanded to do … and you’re protecting your brother, that guy next to you,” said Rice. “If you have someone shooting at you the natural response and what we want you to do is shoot back, but

you also have to understand the hu-manity of it. That’s why the empathy is there. You have to understand your actions.”

Though the moral strain can at times seem too much to bear, and one’s inner monologue so littered with doubt that peace of mind seems as hard to attain as regaining one’s lost innocence, that voice can be what is most needed to stay both moral and sane.

Conscience, explained Rice, and a Marine or sailor’s ability to empa-thize, not only with his brothers in arms, but those they meet on the bat-tlefield can be their saving grace.

“Conscience plays heavy in war. (Service members) get back home after the war and they kind of close up,” said Rice, explaining how Ma-rines within the battalion have dealt with the death of friends in combat. “I spend a lot of time dealing with operational stress. The first (casual-ties) we had, my job was limited be-cause the Marines were already doing it — talking among one another. They were opening up and talking, they truly were feeling like brothers, shar-ing how they felt. To come to peace with yourself you have to deal with it – you can’t just bottle it up.”

Like those heroes and villains in fairy tales, the impact Marines and their enemies have on one another goes far beyond the physical. The marks left on flesh are no less deep than those left on the mind, but by carrying the heavy moral weight of one’s conscience, service members can grow from their experiences at war, rather than being haunted by its memory.


STAFF SGT. ANDREW MILLERRegimental Combat Team 5

Afghan National Secu-rity Forces and Marines and sailors of 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, Regimen-tal Combat Team 5, recently swept through the Badulla Qulp area of northern Mar-jah during a clearing opera-tion, recently.

The operation, dubbed Zangle Washat, allowed Af-ghan and coalition forces to increase their presence in the area and, in turn, deny in-surgents the ability to move freely with narcotics, weap-ons or improvised explosive device making materials.

Badulla Qulp contains multiple canals, numer-ous fields, thick vegetation and an assortment of com-pounds. The unforgiving terrain is a key reason why the enemy has chosen to exploit this area, using it as both a safe haven and hiding place for illegal materials.

In the early morning hours of Oct. 1, while still under the cover of darkness, first platoon, Company L, 3rd Bn., 6th Marines, in-

serted via helicopter south-west of their objective. The platoon hit the ground run-ning, forming a defensive perimeter and looking for any dangers lurking in the surrounding tree line. Once communication with near-by friendly forces had been established, first platoon be-gan pushing toward the first compound on their list of objectives.

After securing the com-pound, Afghan National Army soldiers and Afghan Uniformed Police went to work, interacting with local residents. They then pro-ceeded to clear and search buildings in the compound for any illicit material hid-den by insurgents.

During the clearing por-tion of the operation, the ANA took the lead while the Marines conducted what the 3rd Bn., 6th Marines battalion commanding offi-cer Lt. Col. Daniel Schmitt refers to as “biometrically clearing.”

“Biometrics is our way of documenting who belongs here and who doesn’t using the (Hand-held Interagency Identity Detection Equip-ment) system,” said 1st Lt.

Zachary Smith, a logistics officer with 3rd Bn., 6th Marines. “If the people are documented with the HI-IDE, the system will let us know if their fingerprints or information have ever been associated with IEDs, weap-ons or the Taliban.”

The HIIDE system re-cords an individual’s fin-gerprints, a photograph of their face and a retina scan. Additionally, Marines use tactical questioning to compile family informa-tion, such as the name of an individual’s father and grandfather, to determine if an individual’s family is linked to the insurgency.

As word of the joint force’s presence spread throughout the village, an impromptu shura was held by ANSF leadership and Schmitt to explain their presence to village elders.

“We know there are some things we can do to help you. You see the Ma-rines around this morning because we are here sup-porting the police in their efforts of bringing security so we can help bring pros-perity,” Schmitt said. “We believe the Afghan people should have a chance at se-curity and prosperity.”

Schmitt took the oppor-tunity to remind the village elders why the U.S. initially sent forces into Afghanistan a decade ago.

“Some people ask why

we are here and they haven’t been told the whole story,” said Schmitt. “Originally, Marines came to Afghani-stan to find the individuals who attacked our country and restore our honor.”

He left the village elders with some final words em-phasizing the importance of the continued presence of Afghan and coalition forces.

“After we destroyed the enemy who attacked Ameri-ca, we were asked by the Af-ghan people to stay here to help bring security and help build schools and roads and hospitals,” Schmitt contin-ued. “You will hear lies that Americans are here to steal from you and steal your re-ligion. Watch our actions and make your own deci-sion. We are here to give to Afghanistan.”

After many hours of patrolling, clearing and searching compounds and documenting the locals they encountered, the platoon pushed forward to set up a hasty patrol base. The un-named PB they established offered sufficient size and force protection for the platoon and will serve as a launch pad for future opera-tions in the area.

As the sun faded beneath the horizon and day one of Operation Zangle Washat came to a close, Marine snipers went to work.

“The primary objective

for me and my team is to provide overwatch,” said Cpl. Mark Trent, 3rd Bn., 6th Marines sniper team leader. “Sometimes we pa-trol, and other times we take to the rooftops, but we are always watching all movement.”

The snipers provide secu-rity for the PB during both day and night operations. Some sit at elevated positions peering into the darkness, looking for anyone wishing to do harm to the Marines resting inside. Other Marine snipers head out on patrol hours before sunrise. Their mission is to observe insur-gent movement during the hours of darkness, allowing them to provide follow on ANA and Marine patrols with additional security and information on suspected enemy positions.

The platoon pushed south on day two. The joint force continued to increase its presence, targeting com-pounds where intelligence reports suggested suspi-cious activity. Clearing and searching these compounds allows ANA soldiers and Marines to confirm or deny intelligence reports, and bet-ter prepare the area for fol-low on forces.

“Increasing our footprint in this area helps to begin the security process because we are denying (insurgents) freedom of movement, and weakening their ability to

influence the locals,” Smith said.

“Throughout the entire evolution, it is important to keep the ANA out front do-ing the majority of the clear-ing and interaction (with locals) because they know the culture and people bet-ter than we do. The endstate of everything we are doing in Afghanistan will lead to Afghans being in the lead roles.”

Day three of the opera-tion involved a two-pronged approach. Smith and the Marines of first platoon pushed into Bon Jor village to monitor a bazaar. Their focus once inside the village was interacting with locals, looking for weapons caches and staying alert for any in-surgent activity.

Simultaneously, a second team was inserted north into Haji Lalai village, where Schmitt conducted another shura with the village elders encouraging them to stand up for themselves and pro-vide their own security.

“I am thankful for the help from the Marines and other international security forces. The presence of the ANA here will be a good impression on the local peo-ple,” said ANA 1st Sgt. Nebi Jen, a squad leader. “They will find that the ANA is helping their country and they may come forward to

STAFF SGT. JEREMY ROSSII Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward)

Marines and other co-alition service members paused to honor the mem-ory of Staff Sgt. Christo-pher Diaz with a memorial service at the chapel aboard Camp Leatherneck, Hel-mand province, Oct. 8.

Diaz, a military work-ing dog handler assigned to II Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group (Forward), Task Force Bel-leau Wood, died recently after being wounded while rushing to the aid of a com-rade during combat opera-tions in Helmand province.

During the service, Diaz’s friends and fellow Marines, joined by Dino, Diaz’s working dog, re-membered him as a family man with two young chil-dren and a contagious grin, but also as an elite Marine and a highly trained and skilled dog handler.

“He started every work-day with the intention to unselfishly better his Ma-rines by generously spread-ing his valued knowledge,” said Sgt. Benjamin Grijalva, a close friend and fellow dog handler.

Staff Sgt. Morris Ear-nest, a kennel master with II MHG (Fwd.), recalled Diaz’s affection for cigars, and said his regular smokes were his way of spending time with his fellow Ma-

rines and honoring his fall-en forefathers and brothers. It was a tradition that dated back to Diaz’s service in Iraq in 2005.

A third-generation Marine, Diaz enlisted in August 2003 as a military policeman.

As a working dog han-dler, he achieved almost unparalleled professional success, including being selected to attend an ad-vanced training program for several months in Is-rael. After completing the course, Diaz was one of only a handful of dog handlers in the Corps to have the qualifications he possessed. His skill and professionalism led to him being chosen to support reconnaissance and spe-cial forces in some of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan.

Before departing on his current deployment, Diaz faced a choice.

He and his fellow Ma-rines with his home dog han-dling unit under I MHG at Marine Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., had been briefed on the missions they could ex-pect to support in Afghani-stan. Diaz and his unit were told they could expect to be in the thick of some of the most determined insurgent resistance in Helmand prov-ince. However, with his en-listment set to expire, Diaz did not have to be part of any of it, said Grijalva.

“For (Diaz), the deci-sion was an easy one,” he explained. “Re-enlist to do what he did best - lead Marines and serve his country.”

Lt. Cmdr. Steven Coates, II MHG (Fwd.) chaplain, reflected on Diaz’s choice to serve.

“Staff Sgt. Diaz was where he was supposed to be and when,” said Coates.

“I am not suggesting it was the right time for him to die, only that it was the right sea-son for him to serve.”

After the chaplain’s re-marks, the audience came to attention as the first sergeant called roll. When he got to Diaz’s name, he called it three times. Si-lence held briefly before “Taps” echoed from a lone bugler. The assembled ser-

vice members filed up to the boots, rifle and dog tag memorial display to pay their final respects. The last thing attendees saw as they filed out of the chapel was an open box of cigars.

“Just days before he passed, Chris handed me a cigar with his trademark smile and invited me to join him,” said Earnest. “I will never forget the special

time we shared together that night, and I remem-ber he selected a fine cigar from his stash. When I think about this now, it be-comes clear why he picked only the finest cigars. It was clearly his way to honor the finest men with whom he served.”

On this day, the men and women with whom Diaz served honored him.

“The enemy is always going to adapt. They are always going to find new ways of setting off impro-vised explosive devices … sometimes you will find something on a patrol and be blown out of the water wondering how they even thought to come up with this device,” said Cpl. Da-vid S. Cluver, a dog handler and mortarman with jump platoon, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, Regi-mental Combat Team 5. “They are going to keep on adapting, however, the odor of the explosives will not change.“

Enter Jawdy. At only 4 years old, this black Lab-rador retriever and her K-9 crew of almost 20 have been leading the Marines of 3rd Battalion, 6th Ma-rines into battle since the battalion arrived in Marjah District earlier this year. Jawdy is a military work-ing dog, but unlike the dogs most people see with military police which are trained to protect, attack and find drugs, Jawdy and the dogs are strictly used to sniff out homemade explo-sives and IEDs.

Cluver, said he applied for his current position after working with dog handlers on his last deployment.

“I saw what they got to do, so I decided I wanted to volunteer for it this time,” Cluver said. “I love it, I ab-solutely love it, and I think it is the best job in the Ma-rine Corps.”

Though the program is still relatively new, Marines

who work with dogs like Jawdy on a daily basis un-derstand the value their ca-nine counterparts can bring to the counter-IED fight.

“These dogs can pick up on just about anything used to make HME,” said Clu-ver. “Sometimes we come across things that the metal detector won’t find… may-be the mine roller won’t find something that is bur-ied so well you won’t see it with the naked eye. But the dog will smell it.”

Staff Sgt. Ricky Allen, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines kennel supervisor, said that the dogs drastically increase the safety of Marines hunt-ing for IEDs.

“These dogs are meant for complete off-leash working with a maximum of 50 meters away from the handlers so it will remain easier to control the dog,” said Allen. “This gives us a bigger stand off than a lot of the other tools we use.”

Allowing the dogs to operate off leash means a significant amount of time and effort spent by handlers to maintain the discipline and proficiency of their four-legged bomb detectors.

“We train with them twice a day, one to one and a half hours in the morn-ing and evening,” Allen said. “I bring them here (Camp Hanson) a few at a time about once a month for five days to train them. (We) keep the dogs in good working order so that Ma-rines at the patrol bases can just maintain the basic training.”

“We vary the training, working on basic commands and point to point drills,” continued Allen. “These are

controlled drills to keep the dog in line… The dog goes out, searches certain spots and you call it back.”

During these drills, the dogs must recognize certain hand and arm signals used by the handler to guide them in the battlespace. Af-ter directions are given by the handlers, the noses go to work.

“When we walk into a piz-za place all we smell is pizza, whereas a dog smells all the different ingredients, the pep-peroni, the sausage, the an-chovies,” Cluver explained. “When they are being trained, they learn the odors individually. When they get out here, they are able to put them all together.”

Cluver said that the re-lationship between a dog and his handler is one of the most important things about the job.

“The relationship is im-portant because you know all of its behaviors,” said Cluver.

“It’s a mutual bond be-tween the dog and the han-dler. Sometimes the dog can tell if you are having a bad day and will adapt to you. If you are feeling down or missing home, the dog can tell and will cheer you up.”

The dogs, many of which have multiple combat tours under their collars, are here for the duration the battal-ion’s deployment. They will receive additional training upon returning to the U.S. before being reassigned to a new handler.

The dogs, just like the Marines who handle them, have a purpose and duty to the Corps. Un-fortunately, sometimes that duty calls for them

to make the ultimate sac-rifice for the sake of their Marine counterparts.

“I’ve only been with Jawdy for about a month now, and she’s a wild one. A crazy happy dog,” said Cluver. “My last dog laid on a pressure plate. He was a

good dog, he did his job and saved three Marines’ lives.”

Cluver concluded that the value of these dogs to Marines operating in south-ern Helmand province can-not be overstated.

“I would take an asset that can smell HME over

a metal detector any day of the week because there are so many metal objects out here. It doesn’t matter what you are doing, you are going to hit on some-thing metal,” he said. “I would not want to go on patrol without (my dog).”

CPL. KATHERINE M. SOLANO2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

For 1st Lt. Jeff Clement, fitness is what helps him fight the dangers of compla-cency while deployed in a combat zone.

Specifically, Clement runs. A lot. What began as a family affair 14 years ago, has continued on through-out Clement’s Marine Corps career.

“One day, my dad de-cided to become a runner and dragged the whole fam-ily into it,” said Clement, the current operations officer for Combat Logistics Battal-ion 6, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward).

In the last decade and a half, running has taken Clement to some far-reach-ing locations where he has found himself participating in various races, to include the Marine Corps Marathon, the Virginia Beach Mara-thon, the Wrightsville Beach Marathon and the Wash-ington, N.C. Half-Ironman Triathlon. But, according to Clement, the most interest-ing place his running shoes have taken him has been London.

“It was March and be-low freezing,” he described. “I had only brought shorts, but was determined to run anyway. All the Londoners looked at me like the crazy American that I suppose I was. Then again, Americans regularly look at me like I’m crazy too.”

Currently, Clement is pre-paring to run the upcoming Marine Corps Marathon aboard Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan. He fits his training in any time and place he can.

“Out here, it’s been tough to find enough time to do a full training plan,” Clement said. “I have switched my focus to triathlons over the last year or so. Out here, I

run as much as I can, but not nearly as much as I would in the rear. My approach for the actual race will just be to survive.”

When describing the driving force behind his par-ticipation in the marathon, Clement says one of the im-portant reasons he runs is to fight complacency.

“On my last deployment, I was outside the wire almost continuously,” Clement said. “It’s challenging, but it’s exciting and constantly changing. Being a staff offi-cer (here) is honestly harder mentally — the ‘drudgery’ factor can lead to compla-cency. Running helps to fight that.

“Running keeps me sane. It’s a good way to relax. It’s also a good way to have short-term goals. There’s always the next race to be working toward.”

Clement says that after this marathon, he has no in-tention of slowing down. He plans on completing an Iron-man triathlon in 2013.

“I can’t imagine not run-ning,” he concluded.

WHAT IT IS LIKE TO GO TO WAR

CPL. TOMMY BELLEGARDERegimental Combat Team 5

Marines from Motor transport platoon, 1st Bat-talion, 9th Marine Regi-ment, don’t accept failure. They have been heavily relied upon throughout their deployment to pro-vide motorized logistics and personnel support, and have built a reputa-tion within their battalion for consistently getting the job done.

The platoon performs an array of tasks: provid-ing supplies to patrol bas-es throughout the unit’s area of operations, ve-hicle maintenance for the battalion and retrieving downed vehicles on the battlefield, among other things. These Marines work extremely hard ev-ery day to provide the support necessary for the unit’s success.

“The Marines, they don’t complain,” said 1st Lt. George A. Ivascu, the officer in charge of motor transport platoon. “They push forward, and they always have a good attitude, whether it’s a 20-hour day because they’re stuck outside the (base with an improvised explosive device) (while explosive ordinance dis-posal Marines) come take care of it so (the Marines) can move on and continue to resupply the battalion, or a 10-

hour day, which is more typical.”

The Marines push out on daily convoys, some-times taking their trucks on multiple missions per day.

"Today, a mission went out and the Marines won’t be back until tomorrow. The last time we did that, the other log train went out on three missions in about six hours,” said Ivascu, referring to a re-cent assignment. “They (often) conduct multiple missions simultaneously. In addition, we also sup-port the battalion in any recovery requirements, whether it’s IED-related or not. However, we do all non-IED related recov-eries internal to our logis-tics convoy.”

The platoon also pro-vides daily maintenance for the battalion’s fleet of armored trucks. The Ma-rines even set aside one day each week specifi-cally for vehicle mainte-nance. On these days, the maintenance Marines are almost guaranteed to be working day and night on the trucks.

“That’s when every-body in the company comes in and we spend all day working on trucks,” said Sgt. Billy Yon, the maintenance chief for motor transport platoon. “Our main goal is to help everybody out. Our big-gest thing is to keep the companies mobilized, have their trucks ready

when they need them.”The Marines within the

platoon have a wide array of individual responsi-bilities, and all depend on each other to accomplish their mission. Every piece of the platoon’s puzzle must be in place for it to be successful. The Ma-rines have rallied together as a team through hard work and consistency dur-ing their deployment.

The chemistry among the Marines is especially impressive because a large portion of the platoon for the deployment came from Truck Company, Head-quarters Battalion, 2nd Marine Division (Force Generating Element).

“For half of us, we’re not (1st Bn., 9th Marines) proper, we’re attachments from Truck Company, so we’re coming in to a new situation,” said Lance Cpl. Ardrain Haines, a wrecker operator with motor transport platoon. “As far as a whole motor transport section, we’ve all come together out here. We have a bond.”

These Marines said they rise to the daily chal-lenges because they be-lieve in each other and love what they do. They don’t fail because they don’t know how to fail.

“We have a point to prove out here,” said Haines. “We know the mission needs to get ac-complished and that takes priority, so there’s no room for failure.”

SGT. EARNEST J. BARNES2nd Marine Division (Forward)

Some Marines involved in the battle for Marjah in 2010 say they stared death in the face. One Marine involved in the intense fighting not only stared death in the face, but shook its hand as well.

Lance Cpl. Matthew T. Earle, an assaultman with Company I, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, was critically wounded while conducting counterinsurgen-cy operations in 2010, but lived to tell the story. Now he is back in Marjah, setting the example for his Marines.

Earle’s squad was con-ducting a patrol to assess how local residents felt about the insurgency and the coali-tion troops tasked with liber-ating the city of Marjah.

His squad stopped at a lo-cal mosque to speak to an el-der, when two men drove up on motorcycles and brought the Marines a warning. They said insurgents were plan-ning to ambush the Marines from multiple directions as soon as they left the mosque. The Marines heeded the warning and decided to wait until dusk to leave – they hoped the enemy wouldn’t attack as valuable sunlight faded.

Earle’s squad stepped off to head back to the pa-trol base nearby when their worst fears became a real-ity. The insurgents opened fired on the Marines from

two directions, shooting rifles and machine guns.

Earle said he was running toward the side of the road and reaching for his rocket system, which was his prima-ry weapon as an assaultman. He was shot with a 7.62 cali-ber round as he was reaching for his weapon system.

Earle said if he wasn’t reaching back at that mo-ment, the round would have struck him in the arm, but instead the round punctured his right lung, collapsed his left lung, and chipped a ver-tebra before exiting through his back.

“Last thing I remember was a big firefight,” said Earle. “There is a six-day window I cannot remember except for bits and pieces.”

The Marines and sailors on scene filled Earle in on the details.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Matthew A. Dishmon, a corpsman with 3rd Bn., 6th Marines, was with Earle on that unforgettable day. Dish-mon, who was directly in front of Earle on the patrol, said he was the only one to see Earle go down.

“Doc” Dishmon, as he is known by his fellow service members, said he yelled, “Earle’s hit!” None of the other members of the squad could hear him over the ma-chine-gun fire, and it was at that instant he made the de-cision to go back into the line of fire to rescue his friend.

“I ran to get him out of the middle of the road,” said

Dishmon, as he recalled the scene. “I grabbed him, pulled him off to the side and began working on him.”

Dishmon asked Earle where he was shot. Earle was only able to mumble one word, “back.” Dish-mon took off the wounded Marine’s personal protective equipment and started tend-ing to his wounds.

The corpsman said he placed an occlusive dressing over the entrance and exit holes the bullet made to stop Earle’s sucking chest wound. Unaware that both of Earle’s lungs were damaged, Dish-mon quickly realized the sit-uation was much worse than he originally assessed.

“I noticed his chest was unequal. I gave him a needle thoracentesis, (also known as needle decompression),” said Dishmon, referring to a procedure used to relieve the pressure building in Earle’s chest. “He had two punc-tured lungs. That is why it filled up so fast.”

The battle stopped as the sun edged over the horizon, but for Earle, the fight for his life was far from over. The Marines assisting Dishmon called their command to re-quest a helicopter for a medi-cal evacuation. As Earle lost blood and began to loose consciousness, Dishmon and the Marines assisting him never lost hope.

“From what I’ve gath-ered, I (died) twice on the ground and once in the air,” explained Earle. “At one

time, I guess my status was changed from ‘urgent’ to ‘routine killed in action.’” Once they got Earle to the hospital, the doctors were able to stabilize him and ad-dress his injuries. Earle said he attributes his survival to the quick actions of Doc Dishmon and believes one wrong decision made by Dishmon could have meant Earle’s death.

“They said I had about a minute (and 30 seconds) left (to live) by their estimation when I got to (the hospital),” said Earle, who is expecting his first child soon. “That minute and 30 seconds could have been Doc decid-ing what to do or waiting for a break in the fire.”

Earle was released for full duty shortly before his current deployment, but he said it was important to him to come back to Mar-jah. Now serving as a squad leader with the same com-pany, Earle said he realized he could use his near-death experience to teach the young Marines under his charge. He said he ultimate-ly came back to Marjah for his Marines and to show them one person can make a difference.

“A lot of people say one person can’t make a differ-ence, but especially in the in-fantry, one person can liter-ally mean the life or death of people,” said Earle. “Dish-mon is a testament to that. If he hadn’t gone out on that patrol, I wouldn’t be here.”

After a fruitless fi rst half that ended with a score of 0-0, the Lejeune Marines found their drive and dominated the second half of the game, scoring seven goals to bring the fi nal score to 7-2.

JESSIE HEATHSports editor

While most families were eating lunch or resting last Sunday, the

Lejeune Marines gathered at the Onslow Classic Soccer Association soccer complex to take on the Onslow County Dream team.

A scaled-down version of the game pitted seven Lejeune Marine players against 7 OC Dream players on a smaller-than-average field. The game began with several close calls by the OC Dream Team, during which the Lejeune Marines were visibly frustrated at their inability to keep control of the ball.

As shouts of frustration grew louder across the field, Lejeune Marine coach Luis Cisneros paced the sidelines, yelling instructions to his players and watching with narrowed eyes.

“My guys are fantastic players,” said Cisneros. “They really are,

but sometimes they need to remember to play like a

team.”

Cisneros, a retired Marine, donates his free time to coach the Lejeune Marines soccer team. As a former player of the All-Marine soccer team, he knows the dedication it takes to build a solid team.

“If I have guys or girls who come to practice and want to walk and sulk, I tell them to go somewhere else,” said Cisneros. “We don’t have time for that and I’m not going to let them bring everyone else down with their attitude.”

The Lejeune Marines, who only get to practice on occasion due to busy and non-cohesive work schedules, have more than 15 players either on the roster or waiting to be added to the roster. Unlike many other sports, in which coaches have to scramble to supply substitutes when key players leave, Cisneros has an ample supply of ready-to-play athletes.

Cisneros encourages all his athletes to come to practice, even if they don’t get to play in every

game, to continue to hone their skills.

Fall fi shing resurfaces after weeks of inconsistency

When it comes to flounder, anglers usually see two sides of the coin. There is always good flounder news and bad news. This week’s good flounder news is that there are still some great catches to be found.

The bad news is that anglers are going to have to be very dedicated and have lady luck on their side to find these great catches. Flounder can only be found offshore near the artificial reefs

or at the port wall in More-head City, where the fishing is hard and the tides can get the best of any un-prepared angler.

Trout are show-ing up

more and more recently. Many anglers report seeing trout more than 17 inches long around Beaufort Inlet, but anglers should keep in mind that the bag limit is still one fish per day with a 12-inch length minimum.

Speckled Trout have proven themselves to be worthy of any angler’s time this past week, with many catches well over the legal minimum. MirrOlures have been the bait of choice when live

shrimp can’t be found, and anglers seem to be re-covering from last week’s fall fishing let down.

On Sunday’s sunrise, I worked the trout zone east of Bogue Pier. While I didn’t catch any trout during my time on the water, I did see a 25-inch red drum, a few sea mullet and a couple of pompano.

Any angler worth his hook knows that autumn means false albacore time. There are plenty of fish to be caught, but they don’t intend to go quietly. Most of the false albacore have moved offshore, approximately eight to 10 miles out of Beaufort Inlet, positioning them-selves at C buoy. There have also been reports of albacore near Lookout Shoals.

In addition to autumn being false albacore time, it is also a code word for spot fishing. Unfortu-nately, the spot fishing has been unusually low

this year. With the excep-tion of a few spots, many boaters are returning empty handed. Anglers should keep their eyes open and see how the spot season progresses.

Pier fishing has been slow, but some of the nicest sea mullet local piers have seen all year are being landed close to daybreak by anglers using sand fleas for bait. I have seen sea mullet that weigh more than a pound and a half recently. In addition to the occasional large sea mullet, black drum, pompano, blues and blowfish are starting to make their annual pier appearances.

Anglers should note that the Wildlife Boating Ramp in Cedar Point will be closed from Nov. 1 through Feb. 29 for reno-vations. The new facility will have two side-by-side boat ramps, floating docks, a small fishing pier and enough parking for 40 vehicles.

Team standings as of Oct. 15

Youth sports standings

I have always been a by-the-rules person. I like rules. They provide us with an outline of expectations and help keep us safe. They exist to be followed. I was the kid who always read the rules to every game I played and made sure to ask my coaches if that play was legal before I did anything remotely questionable.

Hearing about people cheating their way through anything – especially a sporting event – rubs me the wrong way.

As an athlete, it irks me to think that there is somebody out there who doesn’t work as hard as I do and still gets the glory. As a spectator, I wrinkle my nose at the fact that there is an athlete who really deserves more recognition than they get because somebody cheated and placed higher than them.

So, when I opened up my internet news feed last week and saw a story about a marathon runner who decided he’d rather ride than run the last leg of his race, I was rankled.

Rob Sloan was taking part in a marathon in Northern England Oct. 9, when he decided that he was tired of running

and wanted to bow out of the marathon. He boarded a bus full of spectators and rode toward the finish line to watch his competitors cross. However, as the bus approached the finish line, Sloan had a change of heart. He jumped off the bus, ran through a small patch of woods and rejoined the race. His bus trip shaved more than 20 minutes off his personal best time and he finished the race in third place.

I don’t have a problem with Sloan bowing out of the race. In fact, I think it was admirable of him to decide to cheer on his competitors after he decided to quit the race. Most people would have just said ‘forget this,’ and gone home.

I do, however, have an issue with Sloan’s “change of heart.”

I have several issues with this story, the first of which has to do with Sloan’s open and consistent lies immediately after the race. After finishing and receiving his medal and gift bag for third place, race officials noted that Sloan’s time for the first half of the race was longer than his time for the second half of the race, a rare feat for any

marathon runner. When he was

originally questioned about it, Sloan denied allegations that he had cheated. Despite the continued questions of the race officials and the runner who placed behind him, who did not remember seeing Sloan pass him, Sloan stuck to his story. It took race officials launching an official investigation for Sloan to admit that he had taken a double-decker city bus to the finish line.

Have you ever given all you have in a game or a competition and gotten beat by somebody who you were positive cheated their way through the event? It’s not a good feeling; I’m sure the runner who came through the finish line after Sloan questioned how it happened. Herein lays the second problem I have with this case. Sloan didn’t just cheat himself – he cheated every other runner involved.

It might not matter to you or me which run came in 200th place and which came in 201st but I’m sure it mattered to the people involved. I’m sure the man who really came in third place cared about the distinction between third and fourth. To not be recognized for something he accomplished and to stand by while somebody who didn’t accomplish anything got recognized had to be a tough pill to swallow.

Yes, the real third place winner did get a medal and recognition after Sloan admitted to

cheating, but he didn’t get the proper recognition his accomplishment deserved.

In addition to lying and cheating somebody else out of what they deserved, Sloan cheated himself. A few weeks ago, I was talking to an acquaintance about running and he told me that I should never cheat myself out of the last part of my run. I’ve since adopted that motto and found he was right. Why should I stop before the last quarter of a mile just because it’s close to my house? If I’m already that close, I should just push through and finish it out.

Sloan is just one example of something that happens frequently in sports. The sad thing is that most players get away with it without anybody ever noticing. Some players get away with it even after people notice, just because they’re well known or likable and nobody wants to give them a bad name.

Whatever the reason is, every time I hear that somebody has been caught cheating, a small part of me high-fives the person who turned them in.

Congratulations to all the well-deserved winners out there. To the cheaters, why do you keep cheating yourself ? Somebody will find out sooner or later and you’ll end up hurting nobody other than yourself.

Don’t let yourself be stripped of the awards you win, athletes. Make sure you earn whatever you are given. That way, nobody can take it away.

Semper Fi Fund recognized at Warrior Open Golf Tournament hosted by Presidential CenterSEMPER FI FUND

Former President George W. Bush recently hosted the inaugural War-rior Open to honor the men and women of our military who have been wounded while serving our nation.

The two-day tourna-ment was held in Dallas and spotlighted 20 service members who were wounded during Opera-tions Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.

The tournament also recognized organizations that give their time, talent and resources to support the men and women of our military and their families. The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund was recognized as one of four charities highlighted during the two-day event.

Semper Fi Fund Founder, Karen Guenther, attended the tournament and stated, “The Semper Fi Fund is honored to be

recognized by the George W. Bush Presidential Center. We deeply appreciate President Bush’s tireless efforts to honor our nation’s heroes and highlight the care and support that is needed for them now and in the years to come.”

The Semper Fi Fund is a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance and quality of life solutions for Marines and sailors, as well as

members of the Army, Air Force and Coast Guard, who serve in support of Marine forces when they become injured in post-9-11 combat or training operations, or face life threatening illness or injury.

The Semper Fi Fund provides relief to qualified service members and their families for immediate financial needs that arise during hospitalization and recovery, as well as

perpetuating needs such as homemodifications, customized transportation and specialized equipment.

The Semper Fi Fund has awarded more than 34,000 financial grants totaling more than $54 million given to injured and ill service members and their families.

The SFF was founded by Karen Guenther, a registered nurse and spouse of an active-

duty Marine who had first-hand knowledge of the challenges faced by wounded Marines and sailors returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Guenther, along with a dedicated group of military spouses, established the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund in May 2004.

waste their time by forcing them to show up at games if they are not on the roster, but Cisneros does expect all his athletes to show up ready to work for practice.

“I have had guys who say they want to play, but then consistently miss or skip practices,” said Cisneros. “That’s not going to earn you a spot on this roster. I’ve got a bunch of guys who will gladly take your spot.”

After yelling back and forth the entire first half, the Lejeune Marines were called over to huddle with Cisneros at half time. With only one substitute on the roster to give players a break, the combination of heat and frustration had led to a 0-0 tie at halftime.

“You have to stop acting like you’re the only one on the field,” Cisneros told his team. “You don’t have to be covering every spot. That’s not your job. You’re running into each other and you’re all over the place. Stop that and just play where you’re supposed to.”

Cisneros understands the challenge his team

faces during games at the soccer complex. With small fields and only seven players to each team, covering the positions of a normal soccer game can be difficult. To compensate, Cisneros keeps his mind set on where he wants to take his team in the future.

“We are with OCSA right now,” said Cisneros. “My goal, though, is to take us back to Wilmington. We were respected there. We could put 11 players on the field and play with no problem. More of my guys could play, the fields were fantastic and we were well-known. I want to get back there soon.”

As the second half started, it seemed that Cisneros halftime speech had the effect he intended. The Lejeune Marines seized control of the ball early and held onto it, earning themselves seven goals in the second half. They kept the Onslow County Dream Team at bay, only allowing two goals to slide past.

“They rallied in the second half,” said Cisneros. “I talked to my team and told them

they needed to pass the ball and open up space. They won seven to two in the second half of the game.”

Sunday’s game was the Lejeune Marines’ fourth game of the season and a pleasing win for Cisneros and his team. Cisneros credits their successful season to the dedication of the guys on his roster.

“They come out ready to work every time,” said Cisneros. “They run their own drills and act like they are elite soccer players. That’s how they grow to be elite.”

As a universal sport, Cisneros said that soccer brings all kinds of personalities and skill levels to the field. He said he assesses every player he comes into contact with and tries to figure out how to best help them achieve what they want.

“We have players from all over the world come here,” said Cisneros. “We have guys from Haiti and lots of other places who are really good at soccer. That’s great. I want the ones who are really good at pushing themselves.

That’s my goal. To make a team of 24 players who really want to be out there and really want to play for the love of the game.”

Until Cisneros can get back to Wilmington with his stacked team ready for 11-11 league play, he has a plan. He and his team are working

on getting a trailer to carry all their equipment in. They are hoping to have the Marine Corps Community Services logo printed on the side of the trailer.

“We’ll look even better the next time we pull into Wilmington,” said Cisneros. “By the time we get back, we’ll be almost

like a semi-pro team.”The Lejeune Marines

will play their next game Sunday at 3:30 p.m. at the OCSA soccer complex.

Children and staff mem-bers of the Stone Street Youth Pavil-

ion didn’t let rain keep them from getting their exercise. They gathered at the Stone Street Youth Pavilion Oct. 11 aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to join kids from across the United States in the effort to break the world record for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period.

In order to break the record, more than 20,000 people would need to spend one minute doing jumping jacks, Oct. 11.

With Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Commanding Officer Col. Daniel Lecce as the “jumper in chief ” of the event, children, families, Youth Pavilion staff mem-bers and employees from the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune gathered in the gym to do one minute of jumping jacks.

Ebonie Williams, organizer of the “Let’s Jump into Action” event, found out about the event through National Geo-graphic Kids magazine.

National Geographic Kids partnered with First Lady Michelle Obama to promote active lifestyles. They challenged everyone around the world to join them in their attempt to break the Guinness World Record.

When Williams found out about the event, she saw it as an opportunity to promote a healthy lifestyle and help promote commu-nity involvement.

“I always try to take advantage of building community,” said Wil-liams. “I love having par-ent involvement and I felt like this was the perfect chance for a lot of people to come together toward a common goal.”

Williams began to pro-mote the event at Stone Street Youth Pavilion and sent out flyers to family readiness officers aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, looking to get the word out to the community

and hoping for positive feedback.

Two weeks prior to the event, while in a meeting, Williams overheard Lecce say that he was willing to attend activities and events on base. After the meeting, she wrote down her request for him to attend “Let’s Jump into Action” and crossed her fingers.

“I really had no idea if he would attend or not, but he told us to tell him if we were doing (physi-cal training) or some-thing else. It’s not quite (physical training), but it’s probably more fun,” said Williams.

Lecce agreed to attend the event, which Wil-liams believes influenced the morale of those who made plans to attend. He also agreed to be the head jumper for the event.

“We were so honored to have Col. Lecce out with us,” said Williams. “He’s like a celebrity and he has really helped us get more people out here. I saw him riding past on the day of the event and he told me that he was going to see if he could round up some more people.”

In addition to having its own celebrity “jumper in chief,” the Stone Street Youth Pavilion invited the Semper Fit mobile unit to come lead the participants in a series of warm-ups.

Semper Fit instructors led the group of ap-proximately 140 kids and adults in a few minutes of stretching exercises before trading places with Lecce, who led his own version of a warm-up exercise in which he invited all the participants to help him break the record for the most push-ups done in a minute.

“He is funny and he gets along well with the kids,” said Williams. “He made them laugh by doing the warm-ups with them and making sure he did it all with a smile. As an event planner, I appre-ciate that.”

After all participants were properly warmed up for their jumping jacks, Lecce took his spot in the middle of the gym. With-in the first two seconds of

the minute-long jumping jack challenge, arms and legs flailed around and laughter filled the gym. Many young participants laughed at Lecce as he jumped in a circle in front of them.

“I’m always happy to avoid sitting at a desk and working,” said Lecce. “I like the chance to do something physical and I love being able to have fun with our community while we work off some of our energy. Kids have so much energy. I feed off their energy.”

While the rain kept away some families who had planned to participate in the event, Lecce said he was pleased with those who turned out to support the event.

“There’s always a way to get more people out, but it’s hard to do after hours,” said Lecce. “Most people want to go home. I am happy to see the naval hospital employees

out, though. I’m glad they showed up.”

Williams counted the number of participants at the event by having every-one sign a piece of paper. She, along with other volunteers, monitored the jumpers over a minute time span to ensure that nobody stopped jumping.

Making sure that all participants were jumping was a crucial part of the day, since it only took one person to stop jumping for the entire event to have lost its value.

To prepare the children and staff of Stone Street Youth Pavilion, Williams reminded them that they had to jump for the entire minute for their efforts to count. She also read a letter sent from Michelle Obama, which reminded the participants of the importance of an active lifestyle.

“We wouldn’t have been able to send off our information to the record

books if a single person stopped jumping,” said Williams. “The entire event would have been disqualified.”

Williams said that she sent off the forms with the number of jumpers and time span that they jumped to the proper loca-tion and is eager to hear back.

“We’ll be waiting to see if we helped break the re-cord,” said Williams. “But it might take a while.”

Regardless of whether the record was surpassed or not, Williams and Lecce both agree that the most important part of the event was a success.

“We are always look-ing for ways to get the community involved and showcase it in a positive manner,” said Lecce. “We are all proud of the kids we have here and the won-derful community they provide. We want to make sure we can strengthen that community for them

and their families. What (Williams) did here today was exactly that.”

Williams said that she couldn’t have asked for a better event, even if the sun had been shining and brought more people out.

“If only three people came, this still would have been worth the time,” said Williams. “It would still be a group of people com-ing together for a common purpose. When we gather for one reason, our power is limitless.”

Williams expects to hear whether or not the record was broken within a few months. While she waits, she plans to prepare for future events to help keep the youth of Stone Street Youth Pavilion active.

“Everybody should be on the lookout,” said Williams. “I want to do more stuff like this. There are plenty more events to come this year. This is just the beginning.”

Stone Street Youth Pavilion jumps into action to break world record

Local 5K names Fisher House of Camp Lejeune as benefi ciary for grand prize

Photo by Jessie HeathMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Commanding Offi cer Col. Daniel Lecce leads children from Stone Street Youth Pavilion in a minute-long jumping jacks challenge aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, Oct. 11. The jumping jack challenge was part of an initiative by National Geographic Kids magazine and First Lady Michelle Obama to help kids live energetic lifestyles by challenging them to beat the world record for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period.

Jessie HeathSports editorThe Jacksonville Board

of Realtors and the Amer-ican Homesmith Builders have teamed together to bring a special meaning to a local 5K.

The Run for a Reason 5K, which will be held at Jacksonville Com-mons Middle School Nov. 5, will donate all its proceeds to Jacksonville charities and deserving companies.

Among the benefi-ciaries of the Run for a Reason charities and non-profit organizations is the Fisher House of Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une, which will receive a check for $5,000 on the day of the race.

The Fisher House is a place for families to stay while their service members recover from illness, injury or disease. The Fisher House of MCB Camp Lejeune is the first Fisher House to be located on a Marine Corps base and opened in March 2011.

The Run for a Reason 5K first place overall fin-isher will have a check do-nated to the Fisher House of MCB Camp Lejeune in his or her name. The $5,000 check is being provided by American

Homesmith Builders.“American Home-

smith Builders came to us and said they wanted to donate the money in the name of the first place runner,” said Alexis Pierson, event organizer. “It’s such an amazing gift and really goes above and beyond what I ever expected.”

American Homesmith Builders has already agreed to give $5,000 to the Fisher House for every house that goes under contract until January 2012, which, according to Pierson, makes their willingness to donate an extra $5,000 all the more special.

Alexis Pierson, co-owner of Exit Indepen-dence Realty and race coordinator, said that the decision to give the grand prize to the Fisher House is one that is close to her heart.

“I’ve had friends and loved ones who have been hurt and I know how much it means to families to be able to be close to their loved ones while recovering,” said Pierson.

Prior to the 5K, the Jacksonville Board of Realtors held an annual golf tournament. The golf tournament, however, did not draw as large a

crowd as they hoped, leading the planning committee to come up with another com-munity event.

“A 5K is universal,” said Pierson. “Golf is a very specific sport, but everybody can run, walk or roll a 5K. It takes an hour to walk. If you go on a shop-ping spree, you walk more than three miles in one day.”

When the idea was brought to change the golf tourna-ment into a 5K, Pierson and a small group started to plan the event. The planning turned out to be much more difficult than they anticipated, but Pier-son said that everything is starting to fall into place.

“We’ve been given gift cards to buy food and drinks with, and we have donuts to hand out before the race,” said Pierson. “We also have a gift bag and a shirt for every per-son who gets involved in the race.”

The gift bags are something Pierson hopes sets the Run for a Reason 5K apart from other local runs. She believes that the gift bags, full of free pens, water bottles, cups and stress balls from local sponsors, will give the participants something extra to look forward to.

The Run for a Reason 5K will begin at Jackson-ville Commons Middle School gymnasium and weave through the Jack-sonville Commons.

The race has been mapped out to ensure that

runners run the entire 5K. In addition to carefully planning the race course, Pierson has arranged for several volunteers to ride with the runners on the day of the race.

“We are planning to have a biker at the front of the race, guiding them through the race, and at the back of the pack, mak-ing sure that nobody gets lost,” said Pierson. “We’ll also have volunteers out to help direct race traffic.”

Pierson said she would like to see the race grow each year as a result of

community awareness. Her philosophy is that running, walking or roll-ing makes a5K available to anybody who wants to participate.

Registration is current-ly open for the Run for a Reason 5K. Interested participants can register online or by mail.

It all happened so fast. As the point man rounded the corner, an improvised explosive device detonated right in front of him. Within seconds, he was hit in the thigh from enemy fire coming from a building nearby, and a villager close by had both his legs blown off. Now came the moment of truth. The squad leader from 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, had to make a decision – and fast. Would he go in and rescue the wounded civilian, return fire, as-sault the building or retreat to a safer location?

Such was the scenario a squad of Marines from 1st Bn., 8th Marines encountered when they went through the new Infantry Immersion Trainer, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, today.

The personnel in charge of the IIT wanted to show commanders, many of who were in charge of infantry units, what the ITT was capable of and the benefits it had for squad leaders.

“Company commanders go through a lot of train-ing and instruction prior to being in charge of a com-pany,” said Vince Soto, site lead of the IIT. “Now fast-forward to (Operation Enduring Freedom) and what we have is a squad leader doing the same functions that that company commander did with a fraction of the training. Now you have a squad leader out there making decisions at a tactical level that could have im-plications on a strategic and operational level, without the education and training that we’ve provided for our captains.”

What the IIT is designed to do is allow that squad leader to take everything he has at his disposal, put it into training and conduct offensive and defensive op-erations in a counter insurgency environment before he goes to Mojave Viper at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., and then into a deployed environment.

“The focus of Mojave Viper training is at the bat-talion and regimental level,” said Soto. “So the focus on the squad leader is kind of (missing). This is the last place he will get to solely focus on the squad lead-er to do his job with all his enablers and it will be part of their pre-deployment training in the late Block Two early Block Three area.”

The ITT contains both simulators and live Afghan role-players, who are brought in from California to act out villager and insurgent roles. It is an active village, complete with smells of spices, meat and dust.

While the ITT is new to MCB Camp Lejeune, it is not new to the Marine Corps. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton was the first base to have an IIT where squad leaders could hone their skills. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune took the best of Camp

For a man in charge of the sev-en Marine Corps installations that make up Marine Corps Installations East during a critical time in which defense spending is being dramati-cally cut, Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry remains surprisingly calm and confident.

“The command’s in great shape,” he said during a recent interview in his office.

Indeed, wedged between his at-tendances at a battery of confer-ences designed to help better equip him to lead MCIEAST over the next three years, Gorry has already visited nearly every base and station

to get a firsthand look at some of the challenges facing this region.

“We are well positioned to sup-port the many tenants on the bases,” he said. “The staffs have done a re-markable job and we’re well attuned to the issues that confront us. Every-one is fully engaged in supporting tenant agencies and forces to the utmost.”

That said, the general made it clear there will be belt-tightening across the board and each of the in-stallations will play a critical role in adjusting to the new reality.

“Are there challenges? Abso-lutely. We’re facing cutbacks and a (two-year) civilian hiring freeze,” he remarked. “We’re going to have to take a hard look at our priorities

and look for efficiencies where we can find them.”

All this as MCIEAST finds itself under the new management of Ma-rine Corps Installations Command which activated Oct. 1 under the direction of Maj. Gen. James Kes-sler, former commanding general of Logistics Command.

According to Marine Adminis-trative Message 575/11, the mis-sion of the new command will be to act as the single authority on all installation matters. It will function to provide command and control of regional installation commands, establish policy, exercise oversight and prioritize resources in order to

History states that on Oct. 13, 1775, President George Washington took command of three armed ships under the authority of the Continental Congress with the intent of intercepting any supply ship. With this action, Wash-ington said, “Without a decisive naval force, we can do nothing definitive.” This is where the United States Na-vy’s history began.

October 15, sailors from both Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point celebrated the birthday of the United States Navy at the New Bern Convention Center, New Bern, N.C.

With this year’s theme being, “Get back to the basics: Know your heritage,” the ceremony showcased an aspect of Navy life not experienced by many of the guests at the ball that evening by highlighting some of the oldest naval traditions to remind sailors of their history.

Amidst the party and celebration, the Chaplain of the Marine Corps Rear Admiral Margaret Grun Kibben

spoke to her fellow “green” shipmates. “I’m very happy to be sharing this Navy birthday

here in ‘Marine land’ with you,” said Kibben. “We sail-ors have the opportunity to serve with this esteemed group, the Marines. We have the opportunity to serve alongside them in ways that other sailors will never fully understand.”

She shared why it is that Marines have such a fondness for their sailors.

“It’s our unique experience,” Kibben said. “You know not only what a (physical fitness assessment) is but a (physical fitness test). Some of you have even run a (com-bat fitness test.) You know (meals ready to eat) perhaps a little too well.”

And she went on about what sets the group of sailors that run with Marines apart from the rest.

They can hike with a pack with full gear for as long as the Marines they are caring for. They have served along-side them in Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Free-dom and New Dawn.

Religious program specialists had no idea what they

were signing up for when they had to hop into a humvee and go into the front lines with their unarmed chaplain – who themselves could’ve never imagined what it would be like to be holding the hand or praying with a mortally wounded Marine while they too were under fire.

“Medical staff officers, corpsmen, doctors, nurses – you’ve also come face-to-face with the stress and crisis, triage and trauma of field hospitals in Iraq and Afghani-stan,” she added. “But let me leave you with this, your mission finds completion in the continuum of care that you provide for your Marines, your sailors and your fami-lies. Ashore, afloat or in theater, the continuum of care is the unbroken bond of support that sailors serving with Marines practice every day.”

In his official birthday message, Chief of Naval Oper-ation Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert told the Navy, “As our birthday is celebrated around the globe, I know you will carry our proud legacy wherever you go. I cannot begin to tell you how honored and privileged I am to be your chief of naval operations. Happy 236th Birthday to you and to your families.”

Navy celebrates 236 years of history, heritage

optimize installation support to the op-erating forces and tenant commands. MCIEAST, together with Marine Corps Installations West and Pacific will fall un-der this common banner.

Asked how he sees the new command relationships shaping up, Gorry is excep-tionally confident this arrangement will be mutually beneficial.

“MCIEAST is going to offer (MCI-COM) the granularity (it) needs,” he said. “MCICOM will be able to leverage those key issues above and beyond my staff ’s ability to focus on. As budgets get cut, there are going to be those dynam-ics – both foreseen and unforeseen – they can address with the commandant at the headquarters level.”

Gorry brings with him a wellspring of experience serving with the support-ing establishment and operational tours of duty, having been a Marine Expe-ditionary Unit Service Support Group commander, a camp commander in Oki-nawa, Japan and the J3 director for U.S. Forces Afghanistan. In fact, Gorry and his family have spent the last 11 of the past 12 years overseas.

“I have an appreciation for what it takes to support the operating forces and their families,” he said. “It can be a very gratifying experience. When you provide a new infantry immersion training facil-ity to help troops in combat, open an elementary school or a new chow hall like they’ve done here at Camp Lejeune. You’re seeing the direct fruits of a lot of hard work.”

As evidenced by the extensive rows of military history books that line the shelves behind his desk, Gorry has devel-oped a lifelong passion for reading and professional military education.

“PME is directly related to your ability to function at a higher level. There is al-ways something you can learn,” he said.

To that end, he has attended Amphibi-ous Warfare School, Command and Staff College, and the National War College,

National Defense University earning a Master of Science Degree in Security Strategy.

Gorry also said he has challenged himself to read a book a payday since he became a first lieutenant.

“I got involved with a reading program early on and fell in love with military his-tory,” he said.

During his previous assignment as the director of Command and Staff College, he had direct input into the CMC’s Read-ing List.

Asked what his favorite book is, Gorry easily points to Steven Pressfield’s “Gates of Fire,”a historic fiction novel that re-counts the epic battle of Thermopylae and the bravery of the Spartans who were willing to give their lives in the service of democracy and freedom against millions of Persians.

“All Marines can relate to their war-rior spirit,” he said. “There are so many leadership and training lessons you can find in the Spartans’ experience — the bonding and molding of the Spartan warriors, the team oriented outlook, dealing with death and the value of strong families.”

Gorry says he has always modeled his leadership style after the Spartan leader, King Leonidas. Taking a passage directly from the book, he read, “A king does not require service of those he leads but pro-vides it to them. He serves them, not they him.”

To be sure, it seems Gorry has already taken a page from the great Spartan king.

“It’s a very humbling experience to be selected as a brigadier general. It’s an honor and a privilege to serve and to have the faith, trust and confidence of the senior executive leadership of the Marine Corps. I take that responsibility very seriously.”

Brig. Gen. Gorry is slated to be dual-hatted as the base commanding general of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune next summer.

Service members and patrons crowded around stands and tents, collect-ing products and sampling foods during the 4th an-nual Customer Apprecia-tion Day held at the Had-not Point C-Store aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 14.

It was an opportunity for vendors to show their gratitude for everything service members do for their country and home.

“I am honored to be out here and show my appreciation,” said Bob Speelman, presales ac-count manager, with Co-ca-Cola Co.

Speelman served in the Marine Corps for 20 years, and continues to support his brothers-in-arms by participating in the event every year.

This year’s visiting ce-lebrities were stars from the TV. “Lizard Lick Towing.” When their vehicle ap-peared, cheers broke from the crowd waiting for their arrival. The Lick Krew took photos with fans and gave them autographs.

Christy Harness, a ci-vilian patron at the event, said she watches their show and it was wonder-ful to see celebrities giving back to the service mem-bers and the community.

More than 1,000 gifts and prizes were given away. Vendors gave out a variety of goods such as shirts, wrist-bands, co-logne and car products. Those with an appetite ate hotdogs, chicken wings, sandwiches and sushi. There were also raffles for NASCAR tickets, TVs and skateboards.

“It’s pretty generous for all the (vendors) to come out here to support the service members,”

said Cpl. Jesse Diana, a rifleman with 1st Bat-talion, 8th Marine Regi-ment, 2nd Marine Divi-sion. “And it’s great that they’re giving us free stuff.”

Service members also tested their knowledge during a Marine Corps questionnaire game to win a free gift certificate. One spectacle that caught a lot of attention was the “ooh-rah” sound-off competition, where the person with the loudest shout won a double-seat-ed, fold-up chair.

Patrons also played games, won prizes and snacked on foods. Many left the event with a smile on their face and a bag full of giveaways.

“It feels good to give back to the guys,” said Barbara Hubbard, retail manager with Hadnot Point C-store. “They’re the reason we’re here and able to sleep at night.”

Energy Awareness Month began this October, and for some, it brought an opportunity to be creative.

Children and teenagers with Youth Activities Marine and Family Pro-grams Division aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune participated in a poster contest that began last month to bring awareness to issues relating to energy consumption.

The children worked on their con-test posters for a week using recycled materials and art supplies from youth programs.

According to Darcy Reid, a child and youth program assistant with the Stone Street Youth Pavilion, children were given the opportunity to work on the project throughout the day. While working on it, they talked about how to save energy and were able to ask questions.

“They learned a little more about how to save energy,” she said. “I don’t think they realized (there were aspects other than) recycling. They learned about things like pulling out power cords when you’re not using it and turning off the lights. I think they learned how that effects their lives as far as energy.”

The poster contest was held by the energy section of the Public Works Division in a partnership with Youth Activities with the Marine and Fam-ily Programs Division. It was held to promote energy awareness and con-servation.

“The kids really enjoyed the proj-

ect,” said Gemma Jones, a child and youth program assistant with the Stone Street Youth Pavilion. “They came up with a lot of interesting concepts.”

Children used glitter liberally and portions of containers were recycled for the project. They were cut and glued to the pictures on several oc-casions. In one case, they were glued above a drawing of several recycling bins, detailing where each kind of item should be recycled.

Ensign Walter Anderson, the assis-tant public works officer with PWD, said they wanted to try to target youth groups, as well as adults and families.

“One of the best ways to change a culture is to influence a younger age group because they help to influ-ence their parents and they’re good at learning things,” said Anderson. “One of the things we are trying to change is behavior. We realize we have gone just as far as we can with using new technologies, and our next biggest gain in energy conservation is going to come from behavioral change,” said Anderson.

The MCB Camp Lejeune Installations and Environment operations officer, Lt. Col. Bryan Lucas, said the event is a great way to entice parents to get more involved with their children.

“Hopefully, it gets their parents in-volved. It’ll help them learn about sav-ing the environment and how that can help save money,” said Lucas, who was also a judge of the contest.

The winners received gift cards and an invitation to a leadership luncheon that is being held later in the month.

Pendleton’s indoor and outdoor trainers and combined it into one state-of-the-art facility.

“This training is vital to the tactical success of a squad in combat whether they’re in a conventional or counter insurgency environment,” said Soto. “These Marines can and do have an in-fluence and their decisions that can im-pact war.”

Scenarios for the ITT are limitless. Al-though some scenarios can be similar, it is the decisions that the squad leaders make

that turn each training event into its own unique scenario. After a run-through, the Marines can get instantaneous feedback from the enemy and friendly perspective, as well as anything Soto’s men see the Marines can improve on.

“This is very, very close to a deployed environment minus the actual rounds flying,” said Soto. “Here, we can repli-cate sounds, smell, sight and culture. If I want, I can make an (improvised explo-sive device) area smell like freshly turned dirt. It’s the best training available for any squad leader.”

“Knowledge is the key to toler-ance.” This was the motto and theme of the 2011 Multi-Cultural Heritage Day Celebration, which showcased and celebrated on the lives of all the various ethnicities that make up the armed forces, at the Goettge Me-morial Field House aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 14.

Service members were given in-sight on various cultures through education and a colorful collective of heritage, history, food, music and fun, which honored diversity and celebrated everyone’s commonality – being American.

“As Americans, we epitomize unity through freedom,” said Mas-ter Sgt. Kevin James, MCB Camp Lejeune’s equal opportunity adviser. “We are united in the strengths of diversity, a nation of great resources and opportunities, all of which can be attributed to the contributions and achievements of various racial, cul-tural and ethnic backgrounds.”

Outside of the field house, attend-ees experienced international flavors from food vendors who served bev-erages, meals and snacks from their places of origin.

The entirety of the field house’s gymnasium was decorated with vi-brant flags from nations across the world, as well as garments, statuettes, collectibles and artwork featured from other countries.

The masses were entertained by service members and people from the military community who volunteered the knowledge of their own nationali-ties’ native dances, as well as hip hop and pop songs that featured popular, fun dance steps.

Gunnery Sgt. Heather Raven-scroft, 2nd Marine Logistics Group EOA, said each and every Marine, regardless of where they are from, brings something unique to today’s military.

“They may see something one way that is different or outside of the box and make a process go a lot faster and easier,” said Ravenscroft. “Bringing together all the different cultures makes the military a lot bet-ter and more cohesive. I think that if we had all of one culture, it wouldn’t be as strong as it is today.”

For those who didn’t attend, Ra-venscroft recommended that they come next year and even volunteer to help out and work in the event.

“You get to meet a lot of different people you may have not met before,” said Ravenscroft. “It’s not just for the cultures that are represented there, it’s for everyone to come learn about the cultures that they are not.”

Petty Officer 1st Class Lisa Ceron,

with II Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, said diversity is important for service members because not only are they physically different, many of them don’t look alike, they are different colors and believe in many different things.

“We also come with different skills and bring different points of view to the table, which helps us grow as a force in our general community, in our families and even as individuals,” said Ceron.

Ceron added some service mem-bers participate in cultural diversity more often then they even realize.

“If you have a command func-tion, and you go to Mi Cabana or Olive Garden – those are ethnic res-taurants,” said Ceron. “When you have potlucks, the first thing you do is find out who is making what kinds of foods so you know what to bring, which is going to open up conversa-tions and give you insight on their culture and things that they like.”

Cpl. Joy White, with Combat Logistics Company 21, Combat Lo-gistics Regiment 25, 2nd MLG, said being diverse allows service members to learn from each other in countless ways including skills and information that can be used in everyday life.

“America is a big melting pot, so why shouldn’t the military represent that same cultural diversity as every-one else?” asked White. “It brings a lot to the table and makes life in the military interesting. You get to travel the world and even your roommate or someone you work with can be from another country. You get to learn a lot from them.”

White, who sang “God Bless America” at the opening of the cel-ebration, added that she believed the cultural day events went especially well, due to the fact many children received a healthy dose of diversity at

such a young age.“It’s good to expose children to di-

versity early, because they’re growing up in a world that’s becoming more globalized with Internet – MySpace, Twitter, Facebook. Everybody is connecting,” said White. “There isn’t that (social) block anymore. Expos-ing them to it makes them better well rounded citizens.”

Lance Cpl. Jonatan Galeano, a travel clerk with Disbursing office, Headquarters and Support Battal-ion, MCB Camp Lejeune, said hav-ing cultural diversity is a great thing and contributes to the fact that Ma-rines are first to fight, wherever in the world they may be.

“Depending where war is, the Marine Corps is always there,” said Galeano. “As being the first ones to respond, we have to be able to be culturally responsible and have a lot of ethnicities with us. Most Marines who are American and haven’t lived anywhere else before the Corps, get to experience a lot. It’s surprising how many different races (there are) in every shop on base.”

Galeano said that events like Multi-Cultural Heritage Day bring all the cultures together so every can learn something new about each other.

“Hang out with your peers,” said Galeano. “No two Marines are alike in the same work section. Culture changes a person from the inside. Sometimes hanging out with some-one can change you point of view after hanging out with them for a few hours. (Throughout the history of the Corps), some of have been igno-rant to whatever other cultures were involved. Today, you may even have some of the people you work with from the same culture. When you learn more about people, you learn more about yourself.”

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Serv-Mart and their federal partner, the General Service Administra-tion, will be sponsor-ing the third annual Customer Appreciation Day to say ‘Thank You’ to all of its military and civil service custom-ers, at building 1606 aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Oct. 26.

This year’s appre-ciation day’s theme is ‘Green.’ All of the ap-preciation day’s ven-dors will be highlight-ing their products and product lines which promote environmen-tally-green products and sustainability.

John Blackburn, Supply Services Branch manager with the Sup-ply Management Divi-sion, MCB Camp Leje-une, added that there a lot of vendors that will be acting in supporting roles with displays, free food and music.

“Over the last de-cade, we’ve developed a partnership with General Service Ad-ministration,” said Blackburn. “ServMart, formerly known as Direct Support Stock Control, will be hav-ing its third customer appreciation day and it will be sponsored by

GSA and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Supply Management Division.”

At last year’s appre-ciation day, NASCAR driver Tony Stewart paid a visit to wounded Marines and sailors of Wounded Warrior Bat-talion – East. His visit was part of the cus-tomer appreciation day at the ServMart, dur-ing which Stewart took time to thank and talk to some of the troops. This year, the NASCAR number 11 FedEx car will be on display.

“One of the key points is the theme for this year’s apprecia-tion day,” said Black-burn. “It’s one of the commander in chief ’s directives – his execu-tive order on trying to ‘green’ the government. So we wanted vendors to highlight what they have that’s green and point it out to the cus-tomers and give them the opportunity to shop more intelligently.”

Vendors supporting the event include Office Depot, MSC Industrial Tools, Targus, Xerox, Panasonic, GO-JO In-dustries, Streamlight Inc., Kimberly Clark and Black & Decker.

For more information on the customer ap-preciation day, call Ron Dixon, the ServMart store manager, at 451 5613 or John Blackburn at 451-7570.

kicks season up a notch

AMY BINKLEYAssistant managing editor

Goodness, gracious, great bowls of fire.

Nerves were shaking and brains were rattling as dozens of competitors served up their spe-

cialties at the 30th annual Chili Festival and Big Boy Toy Show in Havelock, N.C., Friday and Saturday.

In the shadow of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, an estimated 30,000 visitors walked the grounds of Walter B. Jones Park to raise funds for local nonprof-its one spoonful at a time.

“It’s a community project for the city,” said retired Gunnery Sgt. Smokey Colwell. “I’ve been doing this for 28 years, and I see people that I only see once a year with their kids, grandkids and even great grandkids.”

The annual event, created to tempt or torture your taste buds, depending on your spice tolerance, is the sleeper festival of the state, drawing more people each year as the word spreads, and acts as a springboard for competitive cooks who continue to perfect their craft.

“This is the only sanctioned state championship,” noted retired Gunnery Sgt. Mike Singleton. “We have good products. We sold 10 gallons in half an hour and what’s more impressive is that it’s served in 4-ounce cups.”

Tasters had their choice of homemade red chili, green chili, salsa and hot wings served for $1 each. Judges picked the winners of the four categories while the People’s Choice winner was determined by the amount of money raised at each tent.

“This is the only cook-off in the state where the winners go on to compete in the world champion-ships,” explained Colwell, who has more than 35 titles in almost every category. “We compete hard and heavy, but we’ll help each other in a heartbeat.”

Local businesses, clubs and churches threw their hats in the ring for a chance to become the chili champion, and each had an idea of what gave them an edge on their competitors.

“We have 100 gallons of chili,” said Tim Newton, a member of the Havelock-Cherry Point Rotary Club. “It’s a mixture of several different people’s (recipes) with ingredients like venison, pork, everything.”

Fellow rotary member, Mary Bares, warned Newton not to

share their secret but admitted to hearing rumored ingredi-

ents like bananas from other chefs.

“We don’t make any

This is the only cook-off in the state where the winners go on to compete in the world championships.

“I DON’T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT” (PG-13)

“I Don’t Know How She Does It” is a comedy-drama and family fare about working mothers.

Sarah Jessica Parker (“Sex and the City,” “Failure to Launch”) stars as Kate Reddy, an over-worked financial execu-tive, who must juggle her mega career with her full family life that includes a husband and two mischie-vous young kids.

Kate devotes her days to her job with a Boston-based financial manage-ment firm.

At night, she goes home to her adoring and easy going, recently downsized architect hus-band Richard, played by Greg Kinnear (“The Last Song,” “Green Zone”), and their two young children.

It is a non-stop balanc-ing act, and the same one that Kate’s best friend and fellow working mother Allison, played by Christina Hendricks (TV’s “Mad Men”), performs on a daily basis.

Torn between business meetings, bake sales and her kids’ head lice, the overwhelmed Kate has trouble balancing her job, kids and romance.

So when Kate receives a new major account that will require frequent trips to New York, and Rich-ard also gets a new highly desired position, both will be spreading themselves even thinner.

Complicating matters

for Kate is her charm-ing new business associ-ate Jack Abelhammer, played by Pierce Brosnan (“James Bond” series, “Mamma Mia!”), who proves to be an unexpect-ed source of temptation.

Co-starring are Olivia Munn (“Date Night”) as Momo Hahn, Kate’s driven colleague; Kelsey Grammar (“Swing Vote”) as Clark Cooper, Kate’s boss; Seth Meyers (“MacGruber”) as Chris Bunce; and Jane Curtin (“I Love You Man”) as Marla Reddy.

Douglas McGrath (“Infamous,” “Emma,” “Company Man”) di-rected this fluffy piece, which screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna (“The Devil Wears Prada,” “27 Dresses”) adapted from Allison Pearson’s era-defining 2002 hit novel.

“I Don’t Know How She Does It” is a some-what funny, but lame look at the universal dilemma of working mothers and family life in our mod-ern society. This movie missed its mark and plays out more like a sitcom for television.

“IDES OF MARCH” (R)

“Ides of March” is a thrilling political drama about loyalty and betray-al, sex and power.

The storyline takes place during the frantic last days before a heavily contested Ohio presiden-tial primary where an idealistic staffer gets a

crash course on dirty politics during his stint on the campaign trail.

George Clooney (“The American,” “Up in the Air,” “Mi-chael Clayton”) plays Pennsylvania Gover-nor Mike Morris, a slick and charismatic politician who is just days away from the Ohio Democratic primary in his bid for president.

Ryan Gosling (“Drive,” “Crazy Stupid Love,” “Blue Valentine”) stars as the ambitious Ste-phen Myers, a young and brainy, but very naïve and idealistic up-and-coming campaign press secre-tary, who finds himself involved in a political scandal that threatens to upend his candidate’s shot at the presidency.

The stellar ensemble cast includes: Philip Seymour Hoffman (“Moneyball,” “Doubt”)

as Paul Zara, Morris’ trusted veteran campaign manager; Paul Giamatti (“Hangover II,” “Side-ways”) as Tom Duffy, campaign manager for the conservative Senator Pull-man, Morris’opponent; Evan Rachel Wood (“The Wrestler”) as Molly Stearns, a young and pretty campaign intern; Marisa Tomei (“The Lincoln Lawyer”) as

Ida Horowicz, a pushy investigative New York Times reporter; and Jeffrey Wright (“Source Code”) as the powerful North Carolina Senator Thompson.

Also appearing are Max Minghella (“The Social Network”) as Ben Harpen; Jennifer Ehle (“The Adjustment Bureau”) as Cindy Mor-ris; Gregory Itzin (“Law Abiding Citizen”) as Jack Stearns; and Michael Mantell (“Thank You for Smoking”) as Senator Pullman.

George Clooney (“Leatherheads,” “Good Night, and Good Luck”) directed and co-wrote the

screenplay and co-stars in this political elec-tion piece adapted from the 2008 play “Farragut North” by Beau Willimon.

Supported by an outstanding and brilliant cast, this movie proves again that Clooney is a very talented filmmaker, and that Gosling is due for some accolades.

“Ides of March” is a terrific, sophisticated, engrossing and cynical political drama set in the world of dirty politics.

AMY BINKLEYAssistant managing editor

Birthdays are supposed to be a time of celebration, but with thousands of service members deployed from Marine Corps Base Camp

Lejeune, this ball season doesn’t seem too spectacular for the spouses left behind – until now.

If you can’t hang on the arm of your plus one this year, don’t fret. You’re invited to the Lipstick and Camouflage Deployed Spouses’ Ball, Nov. 4 at 6 p.m. at Marston Pavilion aboard base.

One thing is for sure – it’s going to be glamorous.

“It’s important for us to celebrate,” said Helen Toolan, wife of Maj. Gen. John A. Toolan, Regional Command Southwest, II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), commanding gen-eral. “Our husbands are always doing something. We wanted to do something different.”

Though sticking to Marine Corps traditions, the Lipstick and Camouflage event is encouraging spouses to tap into their creative side and come dressed in modified military apparel.

“The sky is the limit on the armed forces inspired attire,” said Toolan.

Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman, but being a military wife is downright difficult.

Marrying into a culture not created for the fainthearted, these women develop the strength to keep the peace at home while their spouses fight around the world.

“We are a culture envied by all oth-ers,” explained Laurie Craparotta, a member of the Deployed Spouses’ Ball committee. “People can’t understand the connection we all have.”

However, even the strong become discouraged at times.

“(The war) is part of us too,” commit-tee member Suzanne Dana said. “You have fun, but you still feel like a piece of you is missing.”

The committee knew early on that this ball season was going to be tough on the spouses left at home, and they made it their mission to make their event some-thing to remember.

“I think everything sets it apart (from

other balls) – the theme, the audience and especially the attire,” explained Toolan. “It’s going to be a night to enjoy and ev-erything is going to be done by females.”

The Lejeune High School color guard, made up entirely of females, will be presenting the colors, and the traditional cake ceremony will be conducted by the youngest and oldest married spouse.

“We’re going to strengthen and reinforce the traditions of the Marine Corps,” assured Craparotta. “We’ll share the traditions with those who just don’t know, but they’ll also be treated like the princesses they are.”

The royal title applies to all the special guests, even the handful of princes who are dealing with their share of deploy-ment blues as well as their wives are in the war zones.

“Everyone meets the requirements,” Dana stated. “It’s about semper family. We want them to realize how special and rich our relationships (with each other) are.”

Toolan agreed and said, “We’re a fam-ily. It doesn’t matter their age or (their husbands’) ranks. We’re going through this together. If they’re bold enough to come, they’ll see we all have something in common.”

With the social barriers out of the way, the only big question left is what to wear.

“There is a lot of (military-inspired) stuff out there in fashion,” Dana noted. “You could make a whole dress out of a flight suit.”

Think accessories. A belt or a clutch purse made with camouflage could add the military touch to a classy cocktail dress.

“Don’t stress about being creative, just come,” Toolan encouraged.

However, when women are involved, they dress to impress.

The committee made sure there would be help for those who have good fash-ion ideas but aren’t sure how to execute them.

“We worked with L.I.N.K.S. and set up a free dress-making clinic,” said Dana.

The free Glamouflage Dress Making Clinic will have seasoned seamstresses on hand to help create a masterpiece with material that spouses bring. It will be held Oct. 27 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the

L.I.N.K.S. House across from Midway Park Theater.

Though the fancy duds will be the main focus of the party, there is still plenty more in store.

Roberta Gately, author of “Lipstick in Afghanistan,” will be the event’s guest speaker, and she will have a captive audience.

Gately was involved in a book discus-sion on base via Skype earlier this year and made a connection with several military spouses with her debut novel, in-spired by her own experiences as a nurse in war zones.

“We thought, let’s reach for the stars and see what happens,” Dana explained. “We asked her, she accepted and is really excited about coming.”

There will be no standing in a buffet line for these special spouses. They’ll receive the royal treatment with a served dinner of chicken Wellington.

“They’re going to bring it right to you,” said Craparotta.”

Besides the affordable $20 ticket, the final perk to the evening is the free child-care Tarawa Terrace Child Development Center will be providing for children be-tween the ages of six weeks old through 12 years of age.

Children must be registered with Children, Youth and Teen Programs. Childcare will be open from 6 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Reservations can be made until Nov. 1 by calling 450-1646.

Tickets for the event are only $20 and can be purchased at Marston Pavilion aboard MCB Camp Lejeune Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m.

Your spouse may be on the other side of the world, but it’s no excuse to hang up your heels. Come enjoy the event tai-lored just for you and the other military spouses who know exactly what you’re going through.

(Bottom right) Children search the dirt for shark teeth and fossils in the kids’ area at the Chili Festival, Saturday.CHILI FROM 1D money off of it, just bragging rights,” she said. “It’s a commu-nity thing.”

Some entrants may have had more than special ingredients on their side.

“Our chili is doubly blessed,” joked Scott Shermeyer of An-nunciation Catholic Church. “We came out to support the community. It’s a beautiful weather weekend, and it’s a fairly inexpensive (event). Who doesn’t like to eat?”

For those who didn’t have the tongue for chili, there was plenty more treats to consume includ-ing homemade ice cream, sea-food and other festival favorites.

The Filipino American As-sociation didn’t hold back for their biggest fundraiser of the year. They sold out of their specialty, lumpia, just hours into the festival.

“We always run out every year,” said Juliette Roberts, who works in one of the mess halls at the air station.

Marines from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune made the trip to taste what the town had cooking.

“I’ve seen and spoken with several of them after they’ve inhaled the chili,” observed Coldwell.

Their fellow comrades-in-arms did their part in showing off their community as repre-sentatives from MCAS Cherry Point participated in the festival.

“It’s great to get out in the community and make a differ-ence,” said Lance Cpl. Coby Roscoe, Marine Wing Com-munications Squadron 28, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, MCAS Cherry Point. “There’s more to your city than the base you’re stationed at.”

Roscoe lent a hand to chefs from Marine Corps Commu-nity Services Cherry Point who added a secret ingredient to their entries.

“We make it with love,” ex-plained Maria Jonas.

“This (festival) is cool because of the competitive nature of it,” said Maj. Alex Kushnir, Marine Transport Squadron One.

The competition was steep, but at the end of the day, only a few would be called champions.

While Colwell took home the trophy for his fiery hot wings, Singleton beat him out for the People’s Choice Award in the green chili category.

Singleton shared the title with overall green and red chili win-ner, defending champion, David Lorenz.

Eddie Huffman’s salsa was named supreme, and Gery Boucher and the Havelock-Cher-ry Point Rotary Club tied for first with People’s Choice Award for red chili.

The winners will represent the state in the International Chili Society’s world championships.

CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHTMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

In January, dozens of everyday men and women came together in a show of kindness and charity when they aided in the rebuilding of a medically-retired Marine’s house for three weeks.

Suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and a Traumatic Brain Injury, the state of the house and the finan-cial burden of attempting to repair it weighed heavily on his mind, triggering his injury-induced bouts of depression and anger. He, his wife and two daugh-ters did not know where to turn for help.

That is, until Military Missions In Action stepped in.

MMIA is a nonprofit charitable or-ganization dedicated to helping injured veterans with any household project they may be in need of. From some-thing as simple as building a wheelchair ramp to completely overhauling one’s

residence, MMIA supplies funding for building materials while volunteers from the veteran’s area assist in taking the burden off their shoulders.

Nine months later, MMIA was at it again when, from Oct. 8 to 14, they aided in making the life of Eric LeClair, another medically-retired Marine, a little bit easier.

“The wooden siding of the house was rotting and becoming infested with termites and carpenter ants. The landscaping was a mess and tree branches banged on the roof whenever

there was a storm,” said Mike Dorman, executive director of MMIA. “When you physically cannot do what you used to do, home maintenance takes up all of your time. The stress it can put on a family hinders the veteran’s healing process.”

Tucked away on a back road in Swansboro, LeClair and his wife, Cheryl, have been doing what they can to get by.

After Eric’s return from supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom, he was medi-cally discharged with PTSD, a TBI and

extensive spinal injuries. Because of his physical and mental

state, as well as the side effects of his various medications, Cheryl was re-quired to stay home more often to help him, forcing her to quit her full-time job.

“We bought the house before he de-ployed during the first push into Iraq,” said Cheryl LeClair. “From the time he returned injured, he’s undergone 78 surgeries, restricting him from what he could do. After we found out the sides of the house were rotting and becoming infested, we didn’t know what to do.”

Fortunately, a friend of Cheryl’s knew about MMIA and contacted them for help.

Shortly after, dozens of volunteers came to the aid of the LeClairs, repair-ing anything that needed to be done and more.

“In addition to fixing the shortcom-ings of the house, we have also installed

PFC. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERAMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

With so many services available on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, it can be difficult to find exactly what one is looking for, especially for newcomers.

To help with those con-cerns, the Marine Corps Community Services’ Relocation Assistance Pro-gram has created Lejeune Living, a new quarterly event that was held Oct. 13 in the Betio room of the Marston Pavilion aboard the base.

The event gave new-comers and members of the military community a chance to explore what is available to them.

“It’s the perfect event to introduce our programs,” said Loyda Householder, a promotion and education specialist with Resilience

Education, MCCS. “I’m a military spouse,

and when you first come to (MCB) Camp Lejeune it’s so overwhelming,” said Rebecca Wright, a child, youth and teen program assistant on base.

The event was open to the military commu-nity and did not require registration. It offered light snacks, refreshments and door prizes every hour.

It included represen-tatives from the library, youth activities, counseling services, relocation assis-tance, resilience education, housing, L.I.N.K.S., Tri-care, Semper Fit, Outdoor Adventures and other vari-ous programs on base.

“There’s such a wealth of resources and programs for families that they just don’t know about,” said Wright. “(At this event) you get one-on-one with the real people who are really involved with the

things that are going on. It’s a wonderful oppor-tunity for newcomers to come out. I’ve learned new things and I’ve lived here for three years.”

The representatives had tables outlining the room with displays, flyers and small handouts like pens, note pads and water bottles.

“We hope people take our flyers and use them if they need it, or share them with somebody else who might benefit from our ser-vices,” said Joele Phillips, an education and interven-tion specialist with the Family Advocacy Program on base.

In the past, MCB Camp Lejeune held a welcome aboard brief once a quar-ter, but it went away in fa-vor of a daily brief given to incoming service members at the reception center.

“A lot of time informa-tion doesn’t get passed on

to spouses,” said Marybeth Lemaire, a recreational specialist with Outdoor Adventures. “This event is a good way to help recog-nize programs on base.”

The event was not only for newcomers. It offered information that is valu-able to all members of the military community on MCB Camp Lejeune.

“Even if you’re not new, people who have been here for years don’t take advantage of things like the marina, kayaking or Semper Fit,” said Tamara Martinez, a relocation as-sistant who organized the event. “There are people who go to the gym out in town when they don’t need to. (Taking advantage of these resources) will save people money.”

an emergency egress door in their bedroom wall which leads out to a patio,” said Dorman. “The patio will also act as sort of a zen garden, which will hopefully further help Eric with his healing.”

MMIA was established more than three years ago with the sole purpose of helping injured veter-ans, regardless of age.

For instance, one of the MMIA’s recent projects was to refurbish the bathroom of a Korean War veteran, making it easier for him to use it.

Since the start of this year, MMIA has under-taken 13 projects.

For this event, MMIA partnered with Home Depot, which donated $7,000 worth of materials and four employees a day, and Wellness for War-riors, an organization that helps veterans get access to the best available health and wellness programs, also contributed eight volunteer workers for the project.

“Some families don’t have the means to do what has to be done, and that’s where we as a communi-ty should step up and help,” said Master Gunnery Sgt. John Cordeiro, academics chief of the Lo-gistics Operations School aboard Camp Johnson, who volunteered to help with the project. “Not only do we get to give back to those who returned injured, but it gives you a great feeling to know

you’re impacting their lives in a positive way.”After a week of rebuilding and refurbishing, the

LeClair house looked as if it had been newly built from the ground up.

The yard was cleared of brush, the tree branches were cut back and white vinyl siding was now in place where soft, weathered wood used to rest. A big burden was lifted from the LeClairs, making Eric’s healing process progress smoother.

“Everything eventually piled up for us, getting put on the backburner and putting more strain on (Eric),” said Cheryl LeClair. “When (MMIA) came, they took care of everything plus a lot more. It’s a huge relief for us and I hope they continue to do more work for other families in the area.”

No matter how busy one’s life may be, everyone has the opportunity to give a few hours of their time to selflessly volunteer to help someone else. For some who attended the LeClair project, even 1,800 miles didn’t stop them.

“My daughter, who lives here, told me about the project, so I flew from New Mexico to help,” said Philip Gezon, a retired Vietnam War veteran. “I’m retired now, so I have the ability to travel around and help people who need it. It’s something I strongly feel I should be doing, and now that I’m not working anymore, there’s no excuse not to.”

The epitome of little becoming much when we place ourselves in God’s hands is found in the life and work of Oakland California’s real estate agent Oral Lee Brown, also known by her com-munity as “Mama Brown.”

In 1987, she adopted a first grade class, com-mitted to sending each eligible student to college.

She didn’t know where the funds would come from, but she was set on seeing underprivileged kids have a chance for higher education. When the time came, almost all of the 23 students went on to college thanks to “Mama Brown,” who had tucked away a nest egg saved from her real estate income.

Now, Brown’s foundation continues to make dreams come true for Oakland students, doling out college scholarships every three years.

By mixing faith and work together, “Mama Brown” has not only shown that one person can really make a difference but also just how conta-gious righteous behavior can become.

Her vow in 1987 has provoked others to get involved and live out a key biblical principle: “Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other,” (Romans 12:10).

You see, by placing others above ourselves, we become God’s hands and feet on the earth.

Instead of putting people in their places, we choose to put ourselves in their place; we fulfill the two greatest commandments – loving God and our neighbor as ourselves.

One hundred years from now, it will not matter how much money we made. It will not mat-ter what kind of car we drove or what rank we obtained.

One hundred years from now what will mat-ter is how we managed our vertical relationship with God and horizontal relationships with one another.

“Mama Brown’s” example is proof that there is power in one as long as that one is in the mas-ter’s hands.
