USS GREEN BAY, At Sea – For more than 50 years, Ma-rines and sailors with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 163 (Reinforced) have proven they can operate in the far reaches of the globe, from the jungles of Vietnam to the mountains of Afghanistan.

Currently, HMM-163 (Rein) sails on the worldʼs oceans de-ployed as part of the 13th Ma-rine Expeditionary Unit-Boxer Amphibious Ready Group, ready to respond as part of a force in readiness. Once solely based aboard the USS Boxer, a detachment of Marines from the squadron has recently set up shop aboard the USS Green Bay during the 2011 West-ern Pacific Deployment. This detachment provides increased capabilities for the MEU that can operate independently on two ships thousands of miles apart.

“We really expand the capabilities of the Marines and sailors on ship,” said Capt. Thad D. Christofer, a pilot with the squadron known as “Evil Eyes.” “For instance, we can split off as an individual ship and when we try to go ashore with [Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regi-

ment], we can provide that rap-id deployment. We also have a lot longer range than other assets here on ship. In any case, we need to sprint ahead or in a [casualty evacuation] situation, we can go in and out fast. The whole idea behind the MEU-[Marine Air Ground Task Force] concept is that you have the air combat element embed-ded with the ground element so thereʼs a whole lot more we can do whether itʼs non-combat-ant evacuations, humanitarian assistance operations, fast rope insertion or other missions organic to the MEU.”

A dedicated crew of avia-tion maintainers oversee and make repairs to sustain four CH-46E Sea Knights. This en-ables the detachment to operate independent from Boxer.

Each day, Marines from the squadron wash down the helicopters to rid them of corrosive salt that builds up, caused by the ocean air. Other duties include checking for for-eign object debris or FOD and performing daily inspections to look for discrepancies on the aircraft. When the aircraft has been certified by maintenance control, the pilots sign for the aircraft and flight operations can commence.

“This ship is really designed to have a sustained, albeit

small, but sustained aircraft support on it,” said Lt. Col. Craig Wonson, the command-ing officer of BLT 1/1, 13th MEU. “So not only can we land helicopters on it here, now we have a ship thatʼs not a big deck that can sustain an aircraft for long durations. Now you become a MAGTF. It lends to the Marine Corpsʼ nature of adaptability and versatility.”

The flight deck, hangar bay and maintenance areas aboard the USS Green Bay provide the detachment with the space necessary to keep flight opera-tions running.

“Usually when you deploy in country, you have more sup-port from the marine aviation logistics squadrons and more room for supplies and assets,” said Gunnery Sgt. Angel R. Montanez, senior maintenance controller and crew chief with Evil Eyes.

“Here on the Green Bay you have a smaller contingent of resources and are even more limited than on Boxer. You have fewer Marines working on each aircraft and that means they need to work indepen-dently and be savvy. When Marines perform maintenance, they need to do it right the first time. Itʼs a different envi-ronment, but its business as usual.”

In spite of these limitations, the Marines use the opportuni-ty to hone their skills and learn from each other.

“Itʼs a challenge working on a ship, period, but the smaller-sized staff means we have more chances for noncommis-sioned officers to mentor us one on one, and this can help me become a better mechanic,” said Lance Cpl. Daryl S. Martin, a CH-46E helicopter mechanic with Evil Eyes. “Iʼm glad to be here, and I wouldnʼt want to be on any other ship.”

If aircrews find themselves conducting troop insertions in a distant land, their success will be shared by not only the pilots and crew chiefs but by the Marines and sailors who keep flight operations running as an element of the Green Bayʼs own “mini MAGTF.”

Staff Sgt. Marion R. Clary, a flight line work center mechanic supervisor for Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 466, leads his junior jarhead platoon through the modified maneuver under fire course during a Junior Jarhead Day aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar May 14. Marine Aircraft Group 16 and heavy helicopter squadrons invited their service members’ children to experience a day in the life of a helicopter Marine, which included a modified combat fitness test, a CH-53E Super Stallion tour and meals ready-to-eat for lunch.

Squadrons host junior jarheads 2005, and reported to Marine Forces Pacific at Camp Smith, Hawaii, in July 2006 where he served as the aircraft maintenance officer, Aviation Logistics Division.

He assumed command of MALS-11 on June 19, 2009.McDoniel graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1993 with a

bachelorʼs in history and was commissioned a second lieutenant. Following his commission, he attended Marine Aviation Supply Of-

ficer Basic Qualification Course, and in May 1994 reported to MALS-16, Marine Corps Air Station Tustin, Calif.

In 1994, McDoniel filled a temporary assignment as the assistant avi-ation supply officer for Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course in MCAS Yuma, Ariz. In 1996, he deployed for six months as the aviation supply officer for HMM-163 (Reinforced) with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) aboard the USS Tarawa Amphibious Ready Group.

In June 1998, McDoniel reported for duty as the aviation supply and fiscal officer for MAG-49 aboard Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove, Pa. In July 2001, he attended the Naval Post Graduate School as well, where he earned a masterʼs in management and the mate-rial logistics management secondary occupational specialty.

McDoniel reported for duty as the supply chain operations officer in the Marine Corpsʼ Inventory Control Point at Marine Corps Logistics Command, Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, Ga., in July 2003.

McDoniel reported in May 2005 for duty as the aviation supply of-ficer for MALS-11. During this assignment, he deployed as the aviation supply officer for MALS-16 (Reinforced) to Al Asad Airbase, Al Anbar province, Iraq, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

In September 2008, McDoniel reported for joint acquisitions duty at Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Richmond, Va. During this assignment, he was selected as the Defense Logistics Agencyʼs Field Grade Officer of the Year. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel on March 1, 2009.

While flying over the ocean off the coast of San Diego, an MV-22B Osprey from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 161 receives fuel from a KC-130J Hercules from Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 352 May 12. In-flight refueling allows the Osprey to stay airborne longer, and pilots are able to provide extended or long-range capabilities to support troops on the ground. This is an advantage the Osprey has over its predecessor, the CH-46E Sea Knight.

‘Flying Tigers’ carry heavy load to mountain top

A CH-53E Super Stallion, from Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361, fl ies toward Marine Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., to support 7th Marines Communications Platoon during a fi eld training exercise. Two Super Stallions transported more than 2,000 pounds of cargo and two humvees to the top of a mountain.

Sgt. Brian Thompson, a CH-53E crew chief with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361, prepares the dual point suspension system used during external lifts before a fl ight.

One of the CH-53E Super Stallionʼs many jobs is to transport vehicles to areas that cannot be reached on the ground.

The “Flying Tigers” of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361 lifted more than 2,000 pounds of cargo and two humvees to the top of a steep, rocky mountain in support of a 7th Marines Communications Platoon fi eld training exercise.

This is the support the squadron pro-vides while deployed, explained Capt. Jeff Menne, a CH-53E pilot with the Flying Tigers and a St. Louis native. To his knowledge, there is no way for the communications Marines to get the hum-vees on top of the mountain without the Super Stallionʼs support. The mountain is steep, which makes it impassable, but high enough that it is a great place for their communications gear.

Although not described as a train-ing event for the squadron, getting to lift actual Marine Corps equipment is always good practice for the pilots and crews.

During their own training, pilots and crews use concrete blocks that weigh the same as humvees or other cargo for external lift training.

“This is different from blocks be-cause there is more wiggle room with the blocks,” said Cpl. Brian Thompson, a Flying Tigers crew chief. “These are working trucks, so if you snap an axle or it rolls off the mountain, it is bad. We also have to monitor the hooks closer to ensure we donʼt crack a windshield or damage the truck in any way.”

The big difference is the value of what the Marines are lifting, explained Menne. If something goes wrong and you drag the concrete block or drop it on the ground, it is easily replaced. Humvees, particularly communication humvees, are very expensive, so pilots and crews have to be gentler with them.

To ensure the safety of crews, heli-copter support team and all the equip-ment, crew chiefs inspect the set up of all lifting cables and ensure equipment is properly secured on the vehicles.

HST Marines and the helicopter crews check all the equipment, and only after they are complete does the actual fl ight take place.

One crew chief stands at the helicop-terʼs windows and another lays on the

fl oor. The crew chiefs guide the pilots into position over the cargo. Once the helicopter is hovering directly over the cargo, the HST Marines quickly hook the cargo to the tow straps connected to the aircraft.

With cargo secured the helicopter takes off to lift the load where ever it needs to go. In this case, to the top of a mountain.

This evolution went well because everything went as planned, explained Menne. It was great training for the crews and supported the communica-tions training as well.

The Super Stallion had a successful day, completing one of its main func-tions by using its powerful engines to lift the vehicles where they cannot drive themselves.

‘mats’

With the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers out of the picture, there is now room for a new team to take center stage as the NBAʼs premier franchise.

The 2011 postseason has been unpredictable, but excit-ing as ever. Favored to win it all this year are the two-time defending champions, L.A. Lakers, who were swept by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round. In the same round, the defending Eastern Conference champions, the Boston Celtics, went down in six games against the Miami Heat. So, what happens now? A new team will emerge as the NBAʼs most elite.

Itʼs time for another franchise to now step up and showcase its talents. This is great for the NBA in many ways. First and foremost, no one has to watch L.A. or Boston flex their muscles for another year; secondly, some of the leagueʼs biggest talents can now be recognized and finally, the Mavericks might actually cap off a great season with a championship.

After a decade-long reign of L.A. and Boston, the Mavs do not have a dynasty in the

way of their hopes of winning their first ring with superstar Dirk Nowitzki. Dallas has had a notorious distinction of winning 50 plus games, then flopping in the playoffs. This year may be different.

Dirk has been shooting the lights out of the ball, and he is getting plenty of help from his supporting cast. Shoot-ing more than 50 percent this postseason, Nowitzki erupted for 48 points in the first game of the Western Conference finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he looks hungry for a title. The rest of the Mavs have stepped up around the big guy and are also playing like champs.

In the Eastern Confer-ence, the Chicago Bulls, led by MVP Derrick Rose, had the leagueʼs best record and are hot on the trail for their first post Michael Jordan title. Without Jordan, Pippen and Jackson, the Bulls will rely heavily on Rose to lead them to the promised land.

Standing in Chicagoʼs way is the new dynamic trio of Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh along with the rest of the Miami Heat fran-chise. In a convincing blow-out, Miami looked dazed and confused in their first game loss of the Eastern Conference finals to the Bulls, but hope-fully Miamiʼs “Big Three” will bounce back and respond because the rest of their team is non-existent.

When all is said and done, it appears Chicago will ad-vance to square up with Dallas in this yearʼs finals. The Mavs will have a distinct advan-tage in this match up due to the depth of their bench, the strength of their front line and their seven-foot phenom, Dirk Nowitzki.

Mavsʼ owner Marc Cuban is probably tickled pink that the “old timers” are out, and his “Big Blue” are in the mix for a championship season.

One of the most common excuses I hear from people who do unsafe things is: “Iʼm the only one who will pay the price if something goes wrong.” This is especially true for people who speed. On the contrary, when something does go wrong, you are cer-tainly not the only one to pay the price.

April 15, 1997: a state trooper is on patrol in the small town of Thomaston, Maine. He is within a few miles of his home when a sedan passes him on the other side of the road. The car is going 60mph in a 45mph zone. The trooper turns on the roof lights and proceeds to

make a U-turn to pursue the vehicle.

Behind him is a large cargo truck with a gold-plated grill on the front. The truck driver yields the wrong direction and smashes into the driverʼs side door of the cruiser, killing the trooper instantly.

James Andrew Griffith of the Maine State Police was survived by his wife and four children. I was nine at the time, and the oldest.

The truck driver, despite not being charged, could not live with the guilt. He sank into a deep depression and a year after the accident; he shot himself- leaving behind a wife and two children.

Years of sadness could have been avoided if the driver of the sedan had just slowed down a little bit. Granted, no single event can be blamed for the loss of my

father. However, the speeding sedan started the chain reac-tion. Even after the accident, the other police officers and emergency personnel put themselves at risk, racing to the scene to try and save the life of their colleague.

The point of this entire diatribe is not to say that if you speed, people will die. However, when you make bad decisions, they will never affect just you. Even if no one else dies as a result of your mistakes, any loved ones you leave behind will certainly suffer the emotional strife fol-lowing from your death.

Itʼs up to us to weigh what we are willing to live with, or what kind of legacy we leave behind. I know I donʼt want to be remembered as some-one who took a life in trying to save a little time on my way home, either directly or indirectly.
