A Marine with 2nd AA battalion waits for the command to fire from the range safety officer. As part of the basics, Marines fired from the 100 yard line with and without gas mask to become accustomed to the differences and to gain confidence with the weapon systems and tactics used on various missions.

Training Evolution 2nd AAV Bn Marines’ confidence, readiness improves through training exercises CPL. AUSTIN LONG 2nd Marine Division

eployments to Afghanistan had Marines in the 2nd Amphibious Assault Battalion operating as riflemen, rather than amphibious assault vehicle crewmen. Now that the war in Afghanistan is beginning to wind down, the battalion wants to draw focus back on amphibious operations while still maintaining readiness and confidence in performing dismounted operations. From Feb 24 to March 1, 2nd AA battalion trained in two areas, mounted and dismounted techniques. The training is a two-part evolution. One part is for the Marines to gain confidence with rifles, patrols, maneuver drills, raids and fire, while the other part is to practice amphibious operations, tactics, and movements with the vehicles said Sgt. Richard Wheeler, section leader. “For the first part of the firing portion we had Marines doing the basics, just to get them used to the weapon again,” said Wheeler. “We had them doing controlled pairs,

hammer pairs, box drills and basic turns and pivots with a rifle.” A controlled pair is a slow, twoshot sequence. The purpose is to accurately and effectively engage an enemy. A hammer pair is a two-shot sequence, judged by how close the shots are together on the target. The reason for quick, closely placed shots is because it creates a larger wound on the enemy and produces a more fatal result, according to the marksmanship coaches. The box pair drill teaches Marines how to engage multiple enemy targets using controlled pairs followed by either a head or groin shot to both enemies. “The training is more focused on real-life scenarios,” said Staff Sgt. Christopher Mullins, a platoon sergeant. “Also it’s to allow the Marines to gain confidence with weapons. The more you shoot, the more comfortable and precise you are.” After a shaky start, Marines trained and improved as the week continued. “The first day, we saw some of the Marines shaking, but over time they became more confident. From start to finish we were been able to notice a drastic change for

the better,” r,” said Wheeler. The fire re and maneuver portion were re influenced by both th Marine Corps instr uct i o n booklets and experiences from m Marines in the company who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, Wheeler said. id. “I thought ht the shooting part of training really lly helped,” said Lance Cpl. Cody Mayle, a crew chief. “It’s not just a yearly rifle range. It allows them to practice the closequarters shooting they could experience in combat.” The leadership believes Marines should be balanced throughout the areas they operate in. Just knowing the vehicle side of their job is not enough. “Overall. we want the Marines to be balanced,” said Master Sgt. Shawn Johnson, the first sergeant and ops chief. “You can’t just be good at your job. We want them to be both technically and combat effective.” “The AAV is our primary

weapon system. As the Marine Corps gets back to its amphibious roots, it’s extremely important we’re able to deploy the amtrack in support of ground combat units; specifically tanks and infantry,” said 2nd Lt. Daniel Wallenstein, a platoon commander. “The vehicles have a .50 caliber machine gun and MK19 (40mm grenade launcher) able to provide heavy volumes of fire to help units complete their objectives,” said Wallenstein. “We’re also able to cover multiple terrains while traveling at 45 mph and carrying an

A health-and-comfort inspection into each room, office and common area throughout the barracks of 8th Engineer Support Battalion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune revealed more than just contraband March 4. Staff noncommissioned officers and officers probed drawers, closets, ventilation shafts and any place a sneaky

service member could hide contraband during the inspection directed by the commanding officer of 8th ESB with support from the Provost Marshall’s Office, 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion, Jacksonville Police Department and the base’s Special Response Team. “We supported the battalion commander’s health-and-comfort inspection with coordinated assets (from local and base law enforcement),” said John Murray, the II Marine Expeditionary

Force director of Force Preservation. “This integrated support is all part of the II MEF Counter Drug Campaign and is the first of many operations to come.” The campaign supplements already existing substance abuse programs and is intended to provide a huge blow to drug threats across II MEF. Since November 2012, the campaign resulted in random vehicle checks at all entry points to local installations and a MEFwide urinalysis. “This is unprecedented,”

SemperSafe Semper Safe

By Derrick J. Mangas

Back safety basics, avoiding injury Nearly 1.2 million cases of lost-time injuries and illnesses were reported to the Department of Labor in 2011. Sprains and strains, most often involving the back, were the leading type of injury in every major industry sector, accounting for 36 percent of the total lost-time cases nationwide, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. Defeating such a formidable foe requires a comprehensive strategy – one going beyond the one-size-fits-all mantra of bend your knees, keep your back straight, and lift with your legs. In addition to the pain and suffering back injuries inflict on workers, they can prematurely bring productive careers to a screeching halt. They’re also capable of putting the hurt on annual budgets. In the language of workers’ compensation, back injuries tend to lead to large chunks of days away from work, which equates to paying employees to stay at home longer than with many other injuries. For the employee with the ruptured disc whose career came to a screeching halt, the Department of Defense likely will be paying for their medical costs for the rest of their life. The catch – those costs don’t usually come close to the amount of money made while actually working. If this article catches your attention, it may have you feeling a little self-conscious about your back-safety program. It’s time to step back and

make sure your program is covering all the bases. Start by considering the following tips and not forgetting to include job hazard analysis. Training Ensure to provide job-specific training on safe techniques for lifting, twisting, pushing and pulling, intertwining it with home-safety education, where many back injuries occur. Fitness Encourage participation in cycling, walking, running and other fitness-oriented events. The objective is to help reduce injuries by improving an individual’s overall fitness. Engineering controls Use ergonomic enhancements by providing lifting aids for weights over 35 pounds to reduce back and soft-tissue soreness. Teach proper technique and don’t simply rely on back belts Proper positioning Stand straight: Keep your feet about shoulder width apart with one foot slightly ahead of the other to maintain balance. Bend your knees: Your legs have the strongest muscles in your body; they are designed to bend and lift. Back muscles are designed to keep you upright, not lift objects. Keep the head up and back straight: By keeping your head up, your back naturally follows the same pattern and will stay straighter.

Lift the object with arms and legs: By lifting the object to your waist from the floor with your arms then standing by using your legs lowers the pressure on your back to very acceptable levels and minimizes the risk of back injuries. Do not twist your back: Never twist your back, instead turn your feet in the direction you wish to move the weight. Keep your back straight and level. Power position: The body’s power position is 8 to 12 inches above or below the waist. Always try to keep the weight within this area to lower the pressure on the back. Heavy weighted objects should be placed within this zone on shelves, not on the floor. Think of your back as a see-saw with the pivot point way over to one side. When bending at the waist, you generate almost 1,200 pounds of pressure on your lower back to pick up just 10 pounds. Avoid over-exertion: Lifting heavy objects or lifting repeatedly should be done with two or more people to share the weight and lessen the load on each person. Two-person lift: If the object is too heavy, use the two-person lift to accomplish the task. Leaders conduct training sessions, and use visual examples to illustrate the points. Point out the smart use of operational risk management

to reduce injuries. Supervise operations to ensure personnel understand and use the proper techniques. Encourage personnel to use techniques not just improve safety but to ensure their back supports them for a lifetime. Utilize additional training material and classes conducted by Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Safety Department such as job hazard analysis training. For more training conducted by the MCB Camp Lejeune Base Safety Department, contact your safety supervisor for enrollment. The most important thing to remember when lifting – bend your knees, not your back. The back is the most commonly injured body part. Instructing personnel in the proper lifting techniques can greatly reduce the possibility of injury. Back injuries should not be the leading cause of disability among employees. The best chance of reducing these and lost work hours is ensuring personnel follow these tips on and off duty. Leaders and supervisors, you are responsible for the safety of your personnel. It is your duty to ensure they understand how important it is to take care of their backs. To assist you in your duties, a “Leaders Guide” is on the safety website. For more information contact your unit safety officer or base safety representative.

With the draw down and sequestration spending reductions, do you think eliminating tuition assistance from the Marine Corps is a fair and prudent move to assist in spending cuts? No, there are far more things they could have taken. Take away some of the stuff for families and give the Marines back their TA.

Maureen ‘Freeman’ Steele

No, it makes our Marines more marketable during and after the Corps. Education should never be cut. They do too much, get paid too little and the benefits Marines receive as an incentive to come into the Corps to begin with should never be touched.

Jill Trudell Gibler

It’s better this than other things. AJ Grooms

Not fair at all. We should never balance the budget on the backs of our military. Kevin Banfield

No education is a lifeline to the U.S. success. Never skimp on education. Colleen Breton

When I joined, the Marines only paid 75 percent and no books. When I left they paid 100 percent, but duty to my Corps made it impossible to ever utilize those funds. The reality of our state’s economic situation dictates cuts need to be made, and as Marines, it’s our job to accept those cuts and work around. If your mission is to join my Corps for education, then go to the Army. If you are a Marine who is attempting to continue your education, then it’s time to start looking at grants, scholarships and FAFSA. We are Marines, and we will find a work around to do the impossible.

VA health care priority groups ensure veterans receive timely service

he number of veterans who can be enrolled in the health care program is determined by the amount of money Congress gives VA each year. Since funds are limited, the VA established priority groups to ensure certain veterans are enrolled before others. The priority groups range from one through eight with one as highest priority for enrollment. Some veterans may have to agree to pay a copayment to be placed in certain priority groups. Some are eligible for enrollment in more than one priority group, and the VA will place those veterans in the highest priority group they are eligible for. Under the medical benefits package, the same services are generally available to all enrolled veterans. The VA determines eligibility for the comprehensive medical benefits

package through the patient enrollment system, which is based on the priority groups. Below are the criteria for each priority group. Priority Group 1 – Veterans with VA serviceconnected disabilities rated at 50 percent or more, or those assigned a total disability rating for compensation based on un-employability. Priority Group 2 – Veterans with VA service-connected disabilities rated between 30 and 40 percent. Priority Group 3 – Veterans who are former POWs, awarded the Purple Heart Medal, awarded the Medal of Honor, who were discharge for a disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty, those with VA service-connected disabilities rated between 10 and 20 percent, or veterans who were awarded special eligibility classification under Title 38, U.S.C., § 1151, “benefits for individuals disabled by treatment or

vocational rehabilitation.” Priority Group 4 – Veterans receiving increased compensation or pension based on their need for regular aid and attendance, or by reason of being permanently housebound, as well as veterans determined by the VA to be catastrophically disabled. Priority Group 5 – Non-ser vice-connected veterans and non-compensable service-connected veterans who are rated at zero percent whose annual income or net worth is not greater than the VA financial guide line. This includes veterans receiving VA pension benefits or veterans eligible for Medicaid benefits. Priority Group 6 – Veterans exposed to ionizing radiation during atmospheric testing or during the occupation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, those who served in the Republic of Vietnam between Jan. 9, 1962, and May 7, 1975,

and those who served in the Southwest Asia theater of operations from Aug. 2, 1990, through Nov. 11, 1998. Also in this group for five years after discharge are veterans who served in a theater of combat operations after Nov. 11, 1998, and were discharged from active duty on or after Jan. 28, 2003. Priority Group 7 – Veterans with incomes below the geographic-meanstest-income threshold and who agree to pay the applicable copayment. Priority Group 8 – Veterans with gross household incomes above the VA national-income threshold and the geographicallyadjusted-income threshold for their resident location, and who agree to pay a copayment. For additional questions concerning the VA priority group rating, or other concerns contact the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Retired Affairs Office at 451-0287.

2nd Tank Marines receive Purple Heart Medals CPL. AUSTIN LONG 2nd Marine Division

ive Marines with 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, were awarded the Purple Heart Medal for injuries sustained while deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, by Brig. Gen. James Lukeman, the commanding general, 2nd Marine Division, March 6. Among the five Marines were two officers and three enlisted. 1st Lt. Jim Nash, the second platoon commander, was awarded two Purple Heart Medals. The first injury came from an 82 millimeter mortar while conducting dismounted operations Aug. 6. The second Purple Heart Medal came from an improvised explosive device set off after a tank adjacent to him triggered the detonator. Nash sustained injuries from the blast while exposed above the turret of the vehicle. Also receiving the award was 1st Lt. Andrew Yeary, the first platoon commander. Yearâ€™s crew discovered a weapon cache in a village three kilometers from a raid. While trying to move British Special Forces to the cache site, his tank was hit by an IED set off by the enemy. The blast rendered Yeary unconscious and destroyed his tank. The gunner on his tank was also injured. â€œIâ€™m upset I allowed my tank to be destroyed,â€? said Yeary. â€œBut Iâ€™m fortunate Iâ€™m still alive and here to receive this award.â€? During a routine patrol, a convoy from 2nd Tank Battalion began taking small arms fire. A truck with the convoy hit a roadside bomb, immobilizing the vehicle. Despite injury, the three Marines on the truck swiftly reacted. The vehicle commander, Lance Cpl.

Joel Dacstro instantly got on the radio to report the attack, the status of the Marines and the condition of his vehicle. After, he began talking with other vehicle commanders about the best solution for moving his Marines and himself out of harmâ€™s way. Dacstro received a Purple Heart Medal for his injuries from the attack. Cpl. Kenneth Conner, a motor transport operator checked immediately on the truckâ€™s gunner, Lance Cpl. Ian Henderson. Conner wanted to make sure Henderson was still conscious and in the turret. Conner received the Purple Heart Medal for injuries sustained during the attack. Lance Cpl. Ian Henderson, a tank mechanic, was in the turret during the explosion. The blast had a dizzying result for Henderson, but he was not seriously wounded. Henderson received the Purple Heart Medal for his injuries. After the explosion, the three Marines climbed on top of the commanding officerâ€™s tank to leave the area when another roadside bomb exploded. The tank was able to withstand the blast and the three Marines were evacuated. The Marines donâ€™t think of themselves any differently after receiving the award. After treatment, some of the Marines were able to return to the forward operating base. Others stayed at Camp Leatherneck, but held jobs at the base that still supported their company outside the wire. â€œRight now Iâ€™m very honored and very humbled to be in a formation that is honoring the Marines who put their lives on the line for their company and country,â€? said 1st Sgt. Demond Washington, the company first sergeant. â€œWe are a family, a true brotherhood. I would stay in another 30 years if I would have another company like Bravo.â€?

“Since we have two different styles of doing things, we wanted to learn as much as we could from each other to increase our readiness,” said JGSDF Capt. Tomoyuki Adachi, a liaison officer with the regiment. “While we have an extensive amount of

A quiet calm washed over those in attendance as the sounds of the 2nd Marine Division Band slowly vanished. Marines, family and friends gathered together to commemorate Chief Warrant Officer 5 Cannon Cargile and his 30 years of honorable and faithful service to the Corps.

As the commanding general’s senior infantry weapons and the Corps’ most senior gunner, Cargile’s key insight and proficiency influenced every Division unit in support of the War on Terror. Nicholson also awarded

Cargile the Bronze Star Medal for his service while acting as a gunner for II MEF in Afghanistan from February to December 2011. Cargile’s leadership and knowledge on the battlefield directly influenced the tactical success of the forces of Regional Command Southwest. Also, March 29, 2011, while on a dismounted patrol outside of Patrol Base Shark’s Tooth, an improvised explosive device critically wounded the lead Marine. Cargile swiftly established a landing zone so the wounded Marine could be evacuated to a higher echelon of medical care. After Nicholson presented the awards, he recognized the humble and professional attitude Cargile brought to the Corps throughout the years. “At the end of the day it’s not how many ribbons you have or the rank at which you retire, it’s who you touched and how you touched them,” said Nicholson. “Cannon, your impact will be felt for a generation. I wish there was a bumper sticker that said - I rode with Cannon.”

“I am more blessed than any other Marine; every person I worked for was just phenomenal. I was surrounded by the very best,” Cargile mentioned.“I wanted to publicly thank each and every one of you for what you did for me over these years, 30 years came and went, and I just can’t believe it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I am truly humbled to look out here and see all of these faces.” Nicholson described his feelings for an irreplaceable individual who brought so much to so many and who will leave a lasting impression for years to come. “I am so honored to be able to be a part of this ceremony, and I know [your wife] is ready for you to come home. But I do this with great trepidation and great remorse. I am the one who is allowing you to walk to the plank and go to shore,” Nicholson said solemnly. “You made an impact above and beyond anyone in your position. God bless you and your great family. Semper Fidelis, Oorah.”

Soldiers as part of the Afghanistan National Army’s 8th Corps, 199th Recruit Battalion, made up of approximately 600 personnel, take their placement exams at the Regional Military Training Center. In a manner similar to how the U.S. military tests an applicant’s aptitude to place their skill sets with a military occupational specialty, the Afghan Army administers a similar test to assess a soldier’s ability to function in certain jobs. Pictured above, one of the RMTC battalion commanders monitors soldiers taking the test to prevent cheating.

HELMAND PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN

Afghan soldiers test skillsets for future in army LT. COL. STEWART UPTON Regional Command Southwest

ucky for them, it’s a beautiful day and hopefully a sign of what the test they are taking will mean to their future with the Afghanistan National Army. Just one month after finishing basic training, Afghan soldiers sit on the cement of a parade field with a pen and a single piece of paper, taking a test to determine their

role in support of Afghanistan’s future. In a manner similar to how the U.S. military tests applicants to place their skillsets with a military occupational specialty, the Afghan army administers a similar test to assess a soldier’s ability to function in certain jobs. The U.S. test, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, also known as the ASVAB, it calculates and assesses the recruit’s aptitude. For Afghan soldiers in Helmand, their test is scored by Col. Shahwali

Zaizai, Regional Military Training Center camp commandant, and a handful of other RMTC leaders and officers. The Afghan test is broken down into three sections: math, geography and problem solving. The answer to the problem they must solve is considered the essay portion of their test. The geography question asked what countries bordered Afghanistan, and the problem solving question asked what problems winter brings and what actions can be taken to mitigate its impact.

“We score each soldier’s test and then place them as either medics, team leaders, or send them off to literacy school for further instruction on how to read and write,” Zaizai said. The RMTC executive officer, Col. Abdul Kabir, said they have to ensure in the process of assigning jobs they are equally distributed among the tribes represented as part of the 8th Corps, 199th Recruit Battalion, made up of approximately 600 personnel. “There can be as many as seven different tribes of

Afghanistan represented,” Kabir said. Interviewed after his test, Alif Elham said the test was not hard because he was a high school graduate. When asked what career field he wanted to go into, he paused for a moment, then looked at the XO nearby and asked him which one he should want. “Medic,” the XO replied, as it is the specialty they placed those who tested highest, making it the most prestigious job to be placed in.

Another recruit, Safir Ali said he also finished high school and wanted to be a medic. Most recruits to the Afghan army are now high school graduates. The training center’s battalion commander, Lt. Col. Mahbobuallah, explained the increased number of high school graduates as a result of the Taliban’s departure from Afghanistan in late 2001. “It’s a result of the revolution, it has been over 10 years,” Mahbobuallah said.

Corpsmen work to keep blood flowing 1ST LT. NICOLE YUHAS Regional Command Southwest

wo minutes is the time it can take for a person to bleed out after suffering an arterial wound. Even if one is able to temporarily stop the bleeding through the effective use of a tourniquet, it is still essential to ensure the blood lost is replaced as soon as possible in order to prevent failure of vital organs or brain damage. At the Role II medical facility aboard Forward Operating Base Shukvani, Navy personnel are responsible for roundthe-clock trauma care to ensure troops operating in northern Helmand province get the appropriate treatment. The Role II medical facility is equipped with a Shock Trauma Platoon and Forward Resuscitative Surgical Systems. The facility is manned by corpsmen and physicians from General Support Combat Logistics Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 2. According to Navy Lt. Katrina Destree, the necessity to have emergency resuscitation care readily available is what drives the establishment of Role II medical facilities

throughout Afghanistan. “The purpose has to do with the “Golden Hour” said Destree, the regimental surgeon for CLR-2. “No matter where someone gets injured (within the area of operations), we want to get them to a Role II medical facility within an hour. When a patient first arrives to the facility, a team of corpsmen will perform an initial assessment to identify any life threatening injuries. In a combat environment, these often include wounds caused by improvised explosive devices and gun shots - resulting in excessive blood loss. Seamen Victor Gonzalez, a hospital Corpsman who works in the STP, will immediately begin supplying the patient with universal blood. This begins replenishing the blood lost while allowing time for the lab to conduct a blood test to confirm the patient’s actual type. Petty Officer 2nd Class Keron Liverpool, a surgical laboratory technician with surgical platoon, is responsible for confirming the patient’s blood type. “They bring the blood sample to me, and I type it using the blood-typing cards,” explained Liverpool. “The process takes roughly a minute.” Liverpool explained after receiving the results, he will

draw the requested number of units of confirmed-type blood and thawed fresh frozen plasma, and deliver them to Gonzalez in the STP. Upon receipt, Gonzalez will switch from supplying universal blood and begin the rapid blood transfusion process with the patient’s type-specific blood. “I’m on the monitor side, which is where we have the (rapid infuser),” explained Gonzalez. “My responsibility with the (rapid infuser) is to transfuse equal units of packed red blood cells and fresh, frozen plasma.” Gonzalez tracks how much blood and plasma

are transfused and remains bed-side until the patient is stabilized and ready to move to higher level care. Destree explained while Role II facilities do have the capabilities to hold patients, their main goal as a first-response emergency medical facility is to triage, treat and stabilize in order to then transport the patient by aircraft to a Role III medical facility, which is able to provide the full-range of emergency medical care. “Essentially, (the personnel at the Role II) do whatever needs to be done right then and there to save lives,” concluded Destree.

Nation’s crisis response force ready to set sail CPL. KYLE N. RUNNELS 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit

The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit returned to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, after completing its Composite Training Unit Exercise, the final phase of its six-month predeployment training exercise Feb. 20. “The Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group came together and performed all of the required missions it will encounter on deployment,” said Cmdr. Neil A. Koprowski, commanding officer of the amphibious transport dock ship USS San Antonio. “COMPTUEX is designed to flex all of the mission areas the ship and embarked MEU elements will employ during deployment, both independently and coordinated between the ARG and MEU.” While the Marines and sailors of the 26th MEU were underway aboard the ships making up the ARGUSS Kearsarge, USS Carter Hall and USS San Antonio - their focus was to learn how to conduct the operations they trained for from the sea. “The certification exercise was designed to test the Marine Air-Ground Task Force and its ability to execute the 12 mission essential tasks making up our mission essential task list,” said Col. Matthew G. St. Clair, 26th MEU commanding officer. “All those missions the combatant commanders expect the MEU, when it deploys into theater, to be able to execute. It’s a diverse mission essential task list: humanitarian assistance, amphibious operations, raids, embassy reinforcements, noncombatant evacuations operations, tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel, and several more. It’s why we’re out there.” Due to repairs needed by USS Kearsarge before the amphibious ready group set sail, the MEU and ARG had to adapt and overcome,

making up for a shortage of preparation time. “We did a lot in a very short period of time, and the Marines and sailors did exceptionally well,” St. Clair said. “I’m very proud of them. We executed every mission safely. Every Marine, sailor, piece of equipment and vehicle returned to our ships with 100 percent accountability.” During this exercise, both the Kearsarge ARG and the 26th MEU were evaluated on their performance by a third party. Amphibious Squadron 4, which encompasses the ARG, was evaluated by Strike Force Training Atlantic, and the MEU by Special Operations Training Group. The Marines and sailors put in innumerable hours carrying out operations, and assessing, mentoring and certifying the MEU. “Our pace went from 0 miles per hour to 100 miles per hour,” said St. Clair. “Within 22 days, we completed about 50 at-sea training days. All those events we needed to accomplish, we did. Learning how to be amphibious - mastering the art of amphibiosity.” With its pre-deployment training program complete, the Marines and sailors of the 26th MEU anxiously await the kickoff of their deployment to the Mediterranean and points beyond. “Once we set sail and deploy, we’ll be the nation’s crisis response force, a sea-based expeditionary unit ready to respond to whatever the crisis may be,” said St. Clair. “The very day the combatant commander needs us - when the president needs us - with the gear and equipment we have embarked on the three ships, we will be prepared. We are a very capable, immediate response group. It’s why it’s so exciting to be a part of the 26th MEU being part of its amphibious ready group.”

Sgt. James Kratky, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense platoon sergeant, kisses his daughter goodbye before deploying from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune March 7. The 26th MEU recently completed their eight month workup period leading up to their deployment.

Deployment ends one road begins another CPL. MICHAEL S. LOCKETT 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit

ith a Marine E x peditionary Unit, the process of workups is a long one. The unit takes three different units – a reinforced infantry battalion, a reinforced squadron, and a combat logistics battalion – and combine them into a seamless whole, able to complete an incredible array of mission sets that may fall to the MEU to accomplish. The 26th MEU, based out of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, accomplished this – the eightmonth workup period is done. It’s only a polite way of saying the unit is beginning its deployment. The 26th MEU began

deploying in phases March 6, heading to Norfolk, Va., where it will board the ships of the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group. Embarked upon USS Kearsarge, USS Carter Hall, and USS San Antonio, the 26th MEU will sail eastward, chasing the dawn into the Mediterranean Sea, where it will begin its deployment. Slated to take part in a number of theater security exercises with friendly nations and militaries, the MEU begins its deployment now. A MEU deployment differs from other deployments in a variety of ways. Marines will never know exactly where they are, with the constant movement of the ships. Hitting ports and training exercises all over three continents and two hemispheres, the MEU capitalizes on its flexibility to be all over the world at once. The ships of the Kearsarge ARG may or may

not operate in concert with each other. This is the same flexibility that’s allowed the MEU to put boots on the ground or birds in the air from Pakistan to Libya to New York in the last three years; to respond quickly and efficiently to the needs of the United States in the world at large. Marines will spend time ashore in foreign ports on liberty, as well as training with militaries in Europe, Africa and Asia. The MEU may also be tasked with contingency operations for natural disasters, similar to their response for Hurricane Sandy or the flooding in Pakistan in 2010. Marines may also respond to human-made disasters, like their response to Libya’s insurrection and the subsequent overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi. The 26th MEU’s versatility is sure to serve the interests abroad of

Gurganus thanks coalition, Afghan counterparts during farewell dinner SGT. BRYAN PETERSON Regional Command Southwest

The commander of Regional Command Southwest held a farewell dinner at the Afghan Cultural Center Afghanistan recently. Maj. Gen. Charles M. Gurganus hosted more than 60 distinguished guests including coalition and Afghan National Security Force as well as Afghan and civilian officials from both Nimroz and Helmand provinces during the dinner. Gurganus relinquished command of RC (SW) to Maj. Gen. W. Lee Miller, II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) commanding general, during a transfer of authority ceremony. Gurganus, speaking to his guests, reflected on the past year, highlighting the advances coalition forces and ANSF made. “The list of successes goes on for the things we got to witness during the past year,” he said. I’m extremely proud of (coalition) and Afghan forces. “Sadly, we will end the tour with 67 (coalition deaths). But, those numbers pale in comparison to the numbers of Afghans lost,” said Gurganus. Key security improvements to both Helmand and Nimroz provinces led to more schools opening and Afghans going to bazaars, thus improving both provinces’ education and economic growth. Directing his comments toward Afghan leaders, Gurganus said, “I ask only one thing, continue the same commitment and courage because we will know none of those (deaths) were in vain.” Muhammad Sawar Sabet, the Nimroz provincial governor, said it’s “our time to stand up and take our country back.” The ANSF had complete security of Nimroz province since late 2011. Noting Afghanistan looks completely different today than it did 11 years ago, the

governor vowed to continue the fight against the insurgency. Gurganus, however, emphasized “guns and bullets” alone will not win in Helmand province. He said while fighting the insurgency is important, at the end of the day, better education and economic growth will be a win for the Afghan people. Significant gains in education, economy, health, infrastructure and women’s rights were widespread across the region, particularly in Helmand province. There was a 26 percent increase in new schools and enrollment increased for males and females at 48 and 59 percent, respectively. Out of 59 health centers, 49 are now open with more ambulatory services. Under Gurganus’ watch, seven health facilities were refurbished and four were built from scratch. Nearly 700 kilometers of road was paved and 49 critical canal assets were repaired. More than $50 million in additional investments were secured from contributing nations to improve infrastructure. Income levels increased 20 percent, 11 women are in prominent government positions and more than 17,000 farmers, including 300 women, trained in agricultural skills. Under Miller’s leadership, coalition forces plan to continue advancements and advising ANSF in the region through Security Force Assistance. Small Security Force Assistance Advisory Teams provide guidance and advice to ANSF units as they conduct security operations. The teams facilitate the transition of security from coalition forces to ANSF. Ultimately, Miller pledged to build on I MEF (Fwd.)’s accomplishments saying, “This will be a great year, a decisive year and a historic year in Afghanistan.” “There will certainly be challenges in the future, but it will take courage on the behalf of Afghans,” said Gurganus. “(Over the past year) I saw no shortage of courage.”

Anglers eagerly prepare for spring fishing season

The Crystal Coast was graced with perfect weather last weekend. Many anglers called it the Goldilocks Syndrome – not too cold, not too hot, but just right. This perfect weather is the delight of anglers all over the world, and they wait for it from coast to coast. Most fish have a sweet spot for the temperature range they feel comfortable in, just as they have a minimum temperature they like to avoid. In the spring, we like to keep track of the local ocean water temperatures to get a feeling of when to expect the initial arrival of some of our edible, catchable fish. In the late winter and early spring our ocean water temperatures typically bottomed out in the upper 40s or low 50s. In March, April and May we see a rapid rise in temperatures, luring bait and catchable fish back to our shores. In March, temperatures start the month in the low 50s but generally climb to the 60 degrees Fahrenheit mark. April temperatures range from mid-60s to upper 60s by month’s end. By May we start off at about 68 degrees Fahrenheit,

which often heralds the arrival of Spanish mackerel, and reach low to mid 70s by the end of the month. With these temperatures in mind, and knowing the low temperature avoidance of our spring species, we can somewhat predict the comings and goings of these spring piscatorial visitors. Blowfish have a very wide temperature tolerance ranging from a low of 46 degrees Fahrenheit and a high temperature comfort lever as high as 93 degrees Fahrenheit. Realizing this, along with skates, rays and dogfish, the puffers are amongst the first arrivals by mid or late March, shortly followed by the cold water hardy sea mullet. Last March and April produced some great puffer fishing and some of the best sea mullet fishing in recent memory, with full coolers of mullet with most fish above a pound and many citation fish over 1.5-pounds. This run of big mullet lasted throughout the spring. Both fish were caught on standard two hook bottom rigs on cut shrimp or synthetic baits such as Fishbites. The first predatory fish to arrive are the yearling bluefish, usually by early April. These fish travel is big schools and are in the one to two pound range They generally bite natural baits, as well as artificial metal lures such as the Kastmaster or Stingsilver. In the last decade, we saw the resurgence of big

Hatteras bluefish as well. These fish are “big head no body” skinny blues. They usually weigh anywhere from six to sixteen pounds, and are a blast to catch on light gear. There are a few other early visitors available from the pier and surf too. We get an early run of big pompano, which is surprising since they usually prefer warmer temperatures. Seems like they are “scout” fish working their way north. We also get a run of early small spots, along with good catches of black drum and sheepshead. From April to May the little tunas show up, and include Atlantic bonito, false albacore and last year the surprise catch of the year, a blackfin tuna landed from Bogue Pier in Late April on a GotCha plug. May usually heralds the arrival of a favorite spring and summer species, the Spanish mackerel, shortly thereafter followed by spawning cobia. In the spring we can expect the lowly spot and puffers to the hungry Hatteras blues and the cobia, which can max out at 100pounds. As you are pondering the who and when, start thinking of getting your tackle in spring fishing shape, change sharpen rusting hooks and replace frayed and damaged fishing line. Don’t forget it’s time to clean your reels. While sitting at home watching your favorite ACC basketball team going down to defeat in the ACC tourney, it’s a great time to make some of your own two hook bottom rigs and Carolina rigs to their

fullest potential. It’s cheap and easy, and only requires knowledge of a few easy knots to tie. As far as the local fishing, we are a week and a few degrees away from some springtime fishing. Bogue Pier will open this weekend along with Emerald Isle’s St. Patrick’s festivities, and this week’s warm up should have some fish showing by then. There are a few current fishing options. Speckled trout are still around, along with black and red drum. I heard of some good catches of black drum just north of the Highway 101, near Core Creek Bridge. There were good catches of speckled trout in South River last week, as well as the New and White Oak Rivers. Of course it is almost spring, so there are reports of shad showing in the Neuse and Tar Rivers and up at Weldon in the Roanoke River too. A few degrees will get these early fisheries really cranked up. I didn’t hear much in the way of offshore fishing last week, but as always, stay tuned. Springtime is a great time to take out the boats. The Ask Dr. Bogus Fishing show can be heard every Monday morning at 7:30 on 107.1 FM and 1240 AM, and can be accessed on the Coastal Daybreak Facebook page at any time.

International Women’s Day Celebrating ladies of sports world

It is no secret my mother is one of the most influential people in my life. She raised me to behave honorably, but never gave me any idea I couldn’t do or be anything I wanted. She filled my life with books, music and laughter. She also filled it with sports. And for that, I am forever grateful. Growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, my mother didn’t have the opportunity to join athletic teams. Her desire to run and jump was limited to hopscotch and jump ropes, not soccer and basketball. But, the fact remained my mother was (and is) an athlete. In 2011, I was given the honor and privilege of studying international news in Panajachel, Guatemala for a week during my college spring break. While I was there I was able to celebrate my first International

Women’s Day with a group of girls who have dreams they cannot chase. The realization the future is still set out for so many women made me even more grateful for the opportunities to do and be whatever I wanted. March 8 was International Women’s Day. A day to celebrate and honor women for their presence and the many roles they play in modern-day society. We have come a long way. In many countries women hold political offices. They are allowed to vote, drive, teach, heal and participate in sports. Female athletes show their love for the game in every sport, from track to football, and made it clear they found their place in a world previously dominated by males. It wasn’t until the late 1960s women started to gain recognition for their role in sports. While they were recognized for their contribution to certain sports, it was Billie Jean King who broke the barrier in 1973 with her Battle of the Sexes tennis championship. King paved the way for female athletes to take their love for sports to the professional level.

Following King and breaking the mold of the woman’s place in sports, young girls were finally allowed to participate in school and community sporting events in 1974, and athletes like Lucy Harris and Ann Meyers became regular names amongst members of the National Basketball Association. In 1987 another landmark event for female athletes took place when Jackie Joyner-Karesee became the first modern female athlete on the cover of the Sports Illustrated magazine. Since then, plenty of female athletes blazed the way. It wasn’t always easy, and female athletes still face challenges and situations unique to them. As women, we are now allowed to take part in any and every game we want. I know female athletes who find their passion in joining rugby clubs or being linebackers on football teams. They try out for baseball because they would rather test their stamina against their male counterparts instead of other females. Through it all they thrive. No longer are they limited to hopscotch or double-dutch. It’s a good thing. I was never any good at hopscotch anyway.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

Skill Development: JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

Dust off your cleats and get ready to get in shape for the upcoming sports season with Marine Corps Community Services’ youth sports’ Spring Break Athlete

Development Camp. The week-long camp is scheduled for April 1 through 5 at the intramural field and Goettge Memorial Fieldhouse aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Open to all authorized Department of Defense identification cardholders ages 7 through 15, the Athlete Development Camp will help young athletes prepare for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. Chis Williams, youth

sports’ director, said the spring break camp will focus on helping young athletes hone their skills and older athletes get back into shape for the upcoming sports season. “The clinic is focused on development rather than specific sports,” said Williams. “There will be some sports-specific activities thrown in but it’s not going to be a whole week of one sport.” While youth sports hosted sport-specific camps in the past, the involvement and participation was not what Williams hoped for. By offering a camp focused on general development and technique Williams hopes to see more families utilize the program. The camp will be taught by Athletes Global, a local organization the youth sports’ branch worked with for previous camps. Athletes Global will provide all the instructors and volunteers needed for the camp. Founded in 2008 the Athletes Global foundation is dedicated to helping children

Youth sports’ Athlete Development Camp offers spring break training

and their families further their understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle through athletic events. They teach their participants self-reliance and success with a variety of camps, clinics and events focused on athletes. “We worked with Athletes Global before,” explained Williams. “They approached us about this camp and it seemed like something we were interested in. “With this camp, unlike the past ones focused on softball and baseball, we want to see more kids do something athletic outside the limited amount of time they are given in the academic setting,” he added. To best accommodate all age groups at the Athlete Development Camp, participants will be split by age groups. The younger age group will focus on general development, while the older group’s skill sets will require more fine-tuning. The camp

will focus on flexibility, nutrition, quick hands and feet, hand-eye coordination, positive mind sets and a variety of other skills useful for athletes on and off the field. “The younger kids will be learning a lot of fundamentals, but the older kids will be geared more toward continued development,” explained Williams. “We want to help them dust off the rust and get back into shape. A lot of kids get dormant during the winter. This program will be a good way for them to loosen up and get ready for the season before it actually starts.” Williams said Athletes Global will also focus on the mission of youth sports, to promote healthy lifestyles and overall wellbeing for all participants. “We want to draw awareness to those who don’t know what we offer or what sports can offer,” admitted Williams. “Most kids like to do what all their friends are doing.

This is an environment for them to enjoy while encouraging them to become more focused on health and nutrition.” Registration for the Athlete Development Camp is currently open. Interested participants can sign up at the youth sports office in Goettge Memorial Fieldhouse until March 22. All participants in the camp are urged to wear loose-fitting clothing in light colors. As the camp will spend the majority of its time using the intramural field, participants should also be prepared with sunscreen. Athletes Global will provide a hydration station for all participants. In the case of inclement weather the camp will be moved indoors and families will be contacted. For more information visit www.mccslejeune. com/youth sports or call the youth sports office at 451-2177 or 451-2159.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. BASEBALL FROM 1B “They got beat last year,” said the mother of pitcher Michael Deets. “They need to win this, and Michael is going to be pitching for them. It’s exciting.” The first inning was shaky for the Devil Pups, with three runs batted in by their opponents. During their at-bat, Lejeune only managed to score one run, eliciting anxious looks from families in the stands. However, the game was far from over and it seemed the Devil Pups were just warming up. They returned to the field in the second inning and held their own against North Duplin’s attempt to capitalize on the game. With strong fielding by second basemen Tysen Bryson and multiple pop fly’s caught by center and right fielders, Brady Bodine and Johnathan Radel, coupled

with another run added to their score, the Devil Pups began to turn the tides on their opponents. The third inning went by with little action as both teams held steady, keeping the score 3-2, North Duplin. It was the bottom of the fourth inning when the Devil Pups found their sweet spot and got fired up. A home run hit by Brady Bodine brought teammates Cody Babineaux and Chris Rodriguez home and gave the Devil Pups their first solid lead of the game. With the score 5-4, Lejeune took the field with rejuvenated energy in the sixth inning. The Devil Pups continued to gain momentum, ultimately overthrowing North Duplin with a 7-5 win, bringing their season record to 3-1. While a win is exciting to add to the record books,

it’s not the only reason the Devil Pups return to the diamond every day. Pure love for the game echoes through the air with the crack of every bat. For many of the Devil Pups’ athletes, playing in high school is just another outlet to participate in the sport they love. “He’s been playing since he was 5 years old,” said Babineaux’s mother after the game, as she waited for her son to exit the dugout. “He played teeball and little league, then (Marine Corps Community Services) ball, and now he’s playing high school.” The Devil Pups will play their next home game March 18 against Coastal Christian Academy. The game is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. at the baseball field behind Lejeune High School.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

‘Side Effects’ twisty, clever plot slays Jack’s ‘Giant’ Now playing at Camp Lejeune “SIDE EFFECTS” (R) “Side Effects” is a psychological thriller focusing on psychiatry and pharmaceutical issues. Rooney Mara (“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Social Network”) stars as Emily Taylor, who works in an advertising agency while waiting for her husband’s release from prison. Emily is a young woman who, in order to curb her anxieties, experiments with prescription drugs. Channing Tatum (“Magic Mike,” “The Vow,” 21 Jump Street”) stars as Martin, her husband who is serving a few years in prison for insider trading. Emily and Martin were a successful New York couple before Martin went to jail, but now Emily is barely getting by. Even when Martin is released from jail, Emily still has trouble coping. The couple’s world unravels even further when a new drug prescribed by Emily’s psychiatrist, Dr. Jonathan Banks, played by Jude Law (“Anna Karenina,” “Contagion,” “Sherlock Holmes”), intended to treat her anxiety, has unexpected side effects. Catherine Zeta-Jones (“Broken City,” “Rock of Ages”) costars as Dr. Victoria Siebert, Emily’s previous doctor. Also appearing are Polly Draper (“Our Idiot Brother”) as Emily’s

Boss, Vinessa Shaw (“Big Miracle”) as Dierdre Banks, Dr. Bank’s lovely wife, and Mamie Gummer (TV’s “Emily Owens M.D.”) as Kayla. Director Steven Soderbergh (“Contagion,” “Traffic,” “Ocean’s Eleven” series, “The Informant”) teamed up again with writer Scott Z. Burns (“Contagion”) who comes up with unexpected and surprisingly twisty plot turns. “Side Effects” is an intense, clever, gripping and provocative psychological thriller that explores an interesting topic. Now playing at the Patriot 12 and Carmike 16 in Jacksonville “JACK THE GIANT SLAYER” (PG-13) “Jack the Giant Slayer” is a modern fairy tale in which the long-standing peace between men and giants is threatened. The film is set in a world where a truce was orchestrated between the land of men and the land of giants, and tells the story of Jack, a farm boy, who must rescue a princess from a race of giants after inadvertently opening a gateway to their world. Nicholas Hoult (“Warm Bodies,” “Clash of the Titans”) stars as Jack, the young and honest farm hand who leads an expedition into the giants’ kingdom in hopes of rescuing a kidnapped princess. When Jack accidentally opens the gateway to

a fearsome world of giants, he reignites an ancient war as the giants strive to reclaim the world they lost centuries ago. Jack is forced into the fight to not only save his life, but that of those living in the kingdom, including the brave woman he loves, the feisty Princess Isabelle, played by Eleanor Tomlinson (“Alice in Wonderland”), who is kidnapped by the giants. He comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend and now gets a chance to become a legend himself. Ewan McGregor (“The Impossible,” “Haywire”) portrays Elmont, the leader of the king’s elite guard who must fight the giants.

the king. Bryan Singer (“Valkyrie,” “Superman Returns,” “X-Men,” “Usual Suspects”) directed this fantasy adventure which is based on the two fairy tales, “Jack the Giant Killer” and “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Filmed in 3-D in the beautiful countryside of Great Britain, the hero flies through fields on horseback, soars across rivers and tackles a massive giant bean stalk as he

tries to outwit giants bent on destroying the earth. “Jack the Giant Slyer” is an adult, action-packed fantasy adventure with a new twist on the classic fairy tale. However, the film leaves us wondering why is Hollywood messing around with our adorable fairy tales. Ms. Huneycutt is the public affairs assistant at the Base Public Affairs Office.

Family readiness team receives honor STAFF SGT. ROBERT L. FISHER III 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit

24th Marine Expeditionary Unit commanding officer, Col. Frank Donovan, and his wife, Kim, invited the 24th MEU Unit and Personal Family Readiness Program into their home recently to thank them and present awards for their service during the unit’s 2012 deployment. “I’m proud of the team we deployed with, but I’m also proud of the team back here,” said Donovan. “The Marines did great things out there, but they couldn’t do any of those things if the families weren’t back here helping and supporting them.” The UPFRP is the unit’s family readiness team, and prepares Marines and their families to deal with the myriad of issues common in a military lifestyle. A strong family network enables the Marine to maintain a high state of morale and personal readiness, which facilitates unit readiness. These families, and the family readiness team who support them, enable their Marines to maintain their readiness while deployed, said Donovan. “You get through a deployment and you feel like you can get through anything,” said Ann Gasperini, 24th MEU family readiness officer. “We wanted to recognize the spouses because they not only went through the deployment, but they shouldered extra burden of carrying their team of families through it.” The 24th MEU family readiness team consisted

This enabled the spouses to have some “real team building” as they supported families of Marines who worked directly with their own spouse, said Gasperini. A MEU usually trains for six months during a pre-deployment work-up, then deploys for a given period of time – anywhere between six to 10 months or longer depending on the ever-changing needs of a crisis response force. The Marines will go wherever the nation calls,

though the days away are significant, said Donovan. But this significance fueled the consistency for the family readiness team. They relied on each other as much as the commander to keep each other and their families informed. “I have a responsibility to Col. Donovan, but I also have a responsibility to the families,” said LesLeeAnn Watts, a family readiness assistant for the 24th MEU’s command element. Watts considered her office one big family, so the Marines’ spouses were as important to the

unit as their Marine. She welcomed them all into the family support network through social media and then attempted to meet each new spouse through lunches and unit gatherings. “As I tell my husband, this is my shop. This is my family, and I’m going to help them,” she said. Marines and their families cherish the down time between deployments. The moments created while home allow them to maintain their family bond during long deployments, especially in the ever-changing climate of a Marine Expeditionary Unit.

A rider puts on his helmet as he prepares to ride to New River Harley-Davidson during the 11th Annual Chilly Chili Poker Run, a fundraiser for the Staff Sgt. Anthony L. Goodwin Memorial Scholarship fund for children of veterans recently.

The sound of revving engines and the smell of chili filled the frigid air in Jacksonville as bikers rode as far as Wilmington, N.C., in the hopes of winning $500 while helping fund a scholarship for children of veterans recently. Rolling Thunder Chapter N.C.-5 hosted its 11th Annual Chilly Chili Poker Run Feb. 16 starting at Lejeune Motorsports with three other locations to ride – or drive to. A poker run, as described by Paul Levesque, Rolling Thunder Chapter N.C.-5 president, is an event where patrons register at the starting point and are given a playing card. Then they ride out to three different locations and collect additional cards.

Upon returning to the starting point, they are given their fifth and final card. The riders with the best poker hand win first place and $500. The second-best hand is awarded $200, and the worst hand wins $100. “This is a fundraiser we do annually,” said Levesque. “We raise funds in honor of Staff Sgt. Anthony Goodwin. He was killed in action on Mother’s Day of 2005. This is a fundraiser for the scholarship we have in his memory. The scholarship goes to dependents of veterans, retirees or active-duty military. Some of the money also goes to helping veterans in general.” The poker run started rolling at 9 a.m. with people getting to the next location however they could to pick the next card. Motorcycles, cars,

trucks and other street-legal vehicles were permitted for the event. “They’ll leave here and their first stop is New River Harley-Davidson in Jacksonville,” said Levesque. “After they collect the card, they will ride to Carolina Coast Harley-Davidson in Wilmington. The fourth card is collected at Southeastern Steel Choppers in Jacksonville. Then they come back here and get their full hand.” Food was handed out throughout the day for those registered for the poker run. A raffle took place, and there was a silent auction after all riders returned. “We normally get quite a large turnout,” said Levesque. “It’s nice to get a big group of people to come out and take part in a fun event while donating to a good cause to help military families.”

Gentleness reveals real strength, wisdom

Oh my word with Amy Binkley

Assistant managing editor

I’m tough. When it comes to the question of fight or flight, I’ll go down swinging. The fury of my hottempered ancestors rises up within me, and I am quick to defend myself with the closest weapon of opportunity, which more often than not is my acidic tongue and sharp-wit. The wounds of words

don’t heal with a BandAid. Until recently, I equated someone described as gentle as weak. The word brought to mind women in corsets fanning about making apple pies and agreeing incessantly with anything anyone told them without question or rebuke. Life throws some pretty nasty curve balls at times, and for me, a compliment and a nice hug didn’t seem like the most appropriate solution. I never wanted to be described as gentle. I wanted to be strong, capable, and effective as a leader. I was wrong – very wrong. Upon further study, I learned the adjective I discounted so flippantly is actually a common

practice of some of the wisest leaders I know. One definition described gentleness as “intentional mildness.” Another coupled it with meekness, or controlled strength. The thing I most feared to be was exactly what I was missing. I knew how to fight and protect, but I didn’t know when to hold my tongue and let silence stretch its influence. Author Ralph W. Sockman once wrote, “Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.” If you watch any nature show long enough, you’re bound to observe a mama bear with her cubs. The furry giant hardly looks capable of more than a good scare while she carefully plays with her children.

Her countenance changes completely, however, once the presence of a threat is felt. Standing on two legs, she appears to double in size. The paws that so gently picked up her cubs moments earlier now extend with claws ready to attack the ensuing enemy. Her cloak of gentleness hid her threatening force until it needed to be shown. The personality trait isn’t hereditary; it’s learned. Admittedly, some people tend to be milder than others, but to possess the strength and wisdom of true gentleness takes practice. Instead of yelling at your kids the next time they beg for cookies for dinner, take a deep breath and explain to them the purpose of a balanced

meal. When your boss blames you for a situation you couldn’t control, don’t mouth off immediately. Wait until you calm down and are able to give a wise response. Only fools let fists and

Catholic Chapel renovations near completion LANCE CPL. JACKELINE PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The historic St. Francis Xavier Catholic Chapel aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune stood through more than 60 years of conflicts, wars, storms, hurricanes and blizzards. Throughout the last few years the church underwent renovations to fix decades of wear and tear, and soon the construction efforts will be complete. Hundreds of churchgoers were able to celebrate their first Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, in the facility since major construction began. The parishioners spent months worshipping in a trailer, which now augments the church as it continues its renovations, and, briefly, in the protestant chapel. The renovations primarily addressed the building’s affected structure, which included wood deterioration and decay to the framing of its stained-glass windows. Standard windows were in place since the buildings inception, along with the facility’s doors were replaced with modern counterparts. Concerns about the stained-glass windows began when leaks developed on the windows’ borders. “We’re in the hurricane belt, so if a good one came through, the glass was going to go,” said Leonard Quemuel, a parishioner who volunteered at the church for 13 years. “During a bad storm you could see water seep from the windows and onto the floors.” The chapel’s stunning

St. Joan of Arc, St. Gabriel and St. Michael along with a host of other saints adorn the windows of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Chapel aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. The stained-glass windows were paid for with contributions of Marines worldwide and were given to the church in 1948. They are dedicated to Marines and sailors who served in various units throughout World War II. stained-glass windows depict warriors from scripture and history such as the archangel St. Michael, and St. Joan of Arc who fought for France during the Hundred Years War. The windows were paid for with contributions of Marines worldwide and were given to the church in 1948. They are dedicated to Marines and sailors who served in various units throughout World War II. “It’s a historic church,” said Father John Lyle, a commander in the Navy who serves as the Catholic chaplain for Marine Corps Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. “My hope is the renovations keep the building structurally sound so we can continue to worship here for another 70 years. Throughout the last decade, floors were replaced with tile and carpet. A

sound system was added as well as arches over the platform in the front of the facility representing the Holy Trinity. The pews, which had damaged kneelers that sometimes squeaked or were unable to be opened were also repaired, and repairmen will follow up on the aged pews as problems arise. Changes are still due in the future. There are plans to improve the lighting in the building and add new handicap accessible ramps to the facility. While Lyle was not stationed aboard the base when plans began to fix the facility, he is happy to see the joy the renovations brought his parish. “I think the people are very happy to be back in their own chapel especially some of the retirees who were here for a while,” said Lyle. “We

have a vibrant community here.” The church has religious education classes for children, religious introduction classes for adults, an adult catholic bible study, and a Knights of Columbus chapter along with its regular daily services. They are held at 11:45 a.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at a trailer in the parking lot of the church and its weekend services held Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. “Prior to the renovations the parishioners had their gripes, water in the aisles, noisy pews, problems with the sound,” said Quemuel. “There was a host of reasons to look for improvements. Now there are almost zero complaints. I would say the congregation’s very happy.”

Some people believe exercise is the only thing needed to achieve good health, but a balanced diet is necessary to avoid high cholesterol and high blood pressure, decreasing the risk of heart disease.

Heart health education teaches Marines risks LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Heart health is not just for the out-ofshape masses. Even those who appear to be in great shape should take the time to assess their risks for heart disease. February was American Heart Month, a time to become better educated about heart disease, the number one killer of men and women in the United States, but heart health is important to practice all year. â€œMarines think as long as theyâ€™re fit, theyâ€™re healthy,â€? said John Swett, a health educator and tobacco cessation program coordinator with Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune. Many Marines believe physical fitness alone will prevent heart problems, said Swett. While being overweight is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disorders, an unhealthy diet, tobacco use and other risk factors are big indicators of future problems. â€œItâ€™s a nondiscriminatory disease,â€? said Swett. â€œIt doesnâ€™t care who you are. Officers, enlisted, males and females can be at risk.â€? While heart problems do not discriminate on a superficial level, heart risks increase or decrease with the way a person treats their body. Some risk factors such as heredity are beyond a personâ€™s control, however most of the causes can be managed. â€œThe things you do on a daily basis

play a role in whatâ€™s going to happen,â€? said Swett. A survey by the Department of Defense shows 32 percent of active-duty service members smoked cigarettes in comparison to 21 percent of the general population. Smoking cigarettes and using other tobacco products damage the heart, as well as the structure and function of blood vessels, said Swett. â€œNicotine and tobacco also decrease our arteriesâ€™ ability to expand and contract,â€? said Swett. The damage created by smoking increases the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries, which hardens over time, narrowing the passageway and obstructing blood flow throughout the body, leaving smokers with a higher risk of heart disease. Foods high in salt such as frozen and canned foods can cause high blood pressure, a leading cause of heart disease. High cholesterol, typically caused by a diet high in fat, is also a big piece of the heart health puzzle. â€œPeople donâ€™t realize what they are taking in,â€? said Swett. â€œThink about what youâ€™re consuming.â€? Physical activity is one way to help prevent heart disease however, on its own it may not be enough. Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune provides heart-health classes along with classes on healthy diets and tobacco cessation for service members and their families.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Evenings at a busy home can get hectic when trying to cook dinner with a house full of children. Across the United States, an average of 160,000 cooking related fires occur each year making cooking safety a big issue, and aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, itâ€™s no different. Camp Lejeuneâ€™s number one cause of house fires is directly related to unattended cooking, following the national trend, but the threat of house fires can be minimized by following guidelines and using safe practices in the home. The most common issue begins with an individual cooking something on the stovetop or in the oven, stated Timothy Johnson, assistant chief of fire prevention for the Camp Lejeune Fire Department. Due to another priority, they leave the area, and when they return the food being cooked is on fire.
