Mortarmen new to 2nd Marine Division spent Aug. 18 honing their skills on range MP-5, to get 60 mm mortars on target. The day of training took place as a way to refine the skills of mortarmen, the majority of whom recently graduated from their military occupational specialty school, by ensuring they have the knowledge to guide 60 mm mortars on target. The Marines setup their mortars and performed gunline-procedures and the various steps involved to sight-in and bombard targets. As the Marines launched mortars down range, Marines serving as forward observers radioed in the grid coordinates of the impacts. The mortarmen then used that information to adjust fire and get rounds on target. “We want to make sure they can get rounds downrange as fast as possible to get the mission complete,” said Cpl. Anthony Gonzales, a mortarman with 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. “They need to be very precise.” The training also served as way to prepare mortarmen from 1st Bn., 2nd Marines for their upcoming deployment with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. The battalion is scheduled to attach to the 24th MEU in September and form into its battalion landing team. “This is the basics,” said 1st Lt. Justin Nabozna, the platoon commander for Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment. “We have to work our way up to MEU operations. If we have proficient 60 mm mortarmen then the battalion landing team’s ground combat element will have three mortar section, that they can task out to each company to use in the offense, defense and patrolling.”

Now that Hurricane Irene has passed through Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, base officials have been working around the clock to pick up the damage caused by the storm. The base has experienced loss of power, fallen trees and what preliminary estimates place as $2.4 million in damages. Preparation for the hurricane included meetings to discuss setting up shelters and what resources were available to service members and civilians who live aboard the base. Base residents were also in-
formed of shelters near their areas, what emergency supplies to have and handy tips for when the hurricane hit. “We have a base destructive weather plan and that’s been set for years,” said James Mahoney, the deputy director of maintenance and operations with Public Works aboard the base. “It’s been finely tuned over the course of several hurricanes and tropical storms.” For Marines who lived in the barracks, windows were taped so that if one shattered, the glass would not scatter and injure them. Sandbags were filled and laid out in front of all the doors on the first floor to prevent water from entering in the case of a flood.
According to Col. Daniel J. Lecce, MCB Camp Lejeune commanding officer, the base was very fortunate. “We took some hits but no injuries, no deaths,” said Lecce. “I think we fared very well.” Lecce added that it is never too early to prepare for a hurricane. “There’s not much to do once it’s here, but before, that’s where you make your money and I think we really did that,” said Lecce. While information was passed through Marines’ respective chain-of-commands, Atlantic Marine Corps Communities did their part by informing their residents. SEE IRENE 7A

One of the most trafficked roads in the country, Route 606, consists of 218 kilometers of paved road and connects Farah, Herat and Chaghcharan provinces, while winding its way into Iran. Marines and sailors with 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), installed several reinforced culvert denial systems recently, to counter the damage
done by improvised explosive devices placed by enemy insurgents in the drainage pipes lining the road. “We placed 10 culvert denial systems, and we had to replace a whole culvert after it was blown up,” said Sgt. Moses S. Ruiz, a combat engineer with 7th ESB. “The systems are going to protect the locals in the area as well as all the commercial traffic on the road.” The operation lasted four days and included 33 miles of Route 606. The cages will greatly assist Afghan National Army soldiers and coali-
tion forces with security operations in the area. Perhaps more importantly, the systems will also provide the locals with a safer passage of travel as they maintain their livelihoods. “Hopefully we can help the locals,” said Lance Cpl. Michael S. Adams, a combat engineer with 7th ESB. “They use this road to transport their goods to local markets on a daily basis so they can have money for their families. “I think this will make the insurgents’ life a little bit harder and our job a little bit easier,” Adams concluded.

Enjoy a safe holiday vacation Labor Day is our national tribute to honor the American worker. It also marks the end of the Critical Days of Summer and the last chances of the season to celebrate that last cookout, day at the beach, fishing trip or to visit relatives before the school year gets into full swing. As many of our Marine Corps families take to the roadways in search of fun and relaxation, it is critical that we continue to manage the risks associated with motor vehicle travel and off-duty activities, so that well deserved time off does not result in a tragic mishap. As you make preparations for your safe holiday vacation and other activities, keep in mind that Labor Day weekend has been the deadliest holiday of the year for Marine Corps personnel. The prediction is that most deaths and injuries this holiday weekend will occur while traveling in a motor vehicle. Most mishaps are preventable and we as leaders must re-emphasize the hazards present on our nation’s highways and recreational activities. Every Marine and sailor can minimize those risks. Here are a few tips that can help with your activities.
- Ensure your vehicle is in safe operating condition. - Use seatbelts in a vehicle and wear the proper protective equipment when riding a motorcycle. - Do not overestimate your swimming skills. Never swim alone and ensure you are familiar with the area before you “dive in.” - Scuba diving certification is a must and only dive with a certified dive buddy; never alone. - The majority of boat operators who have fatal accidents never took a safe boating course. Take one. Intoxicated operators cause a significant portion of all serious boating accidents. - Riding a personal watercraft can turn deadly in a few seconds. Always wear a personal flotation device and utilize the engine “kill switch.” - Know your equipment and stay on designated trails. Wear protective equipment/clothing and utilize the buddy system while all-terrain vehicles/off-road motorcycling. - While barbecuing utilize approved lighter fluids, never gasoline. Stand upwind when lighting the grill. Open the
cover on propane grills before lighting. After cooking, shut the propane bottle valve off and let the gas in the lines burn out. - Alcoholic beverages have a place at some social activities. However, remember it reduces performance, impairs judgment and increases the willingness to take risks. If you choose to drink, do so responsibly and do not drive. Be sure to plan accordingly and always have a designated driver. Use operational risk management or smart personal risk management to ensure your activities are mishap free. You’ve all worked hard and earned a well-deserved break. Your health and well being is vital to this command’s mission and our country’s security. Preparation and self-discipline are the keys to a safe holiday. Don’t let your guard down — safety is a 24-hour-aday, 365-day-a-year responsibility. As Marines, sailors and civil servants, we live by our core values. So think before you jeopardize the safety of yourself, your fellow Marines, sailors, civilian employees or family members, and remember, Semper Safe.

Marines with Company B, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, conduct a milelong squad patrol during a field exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently. The training was part of a week-long operation to prepare Marines and sailors for their upcoming deployment with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit.
‘Brilliance in basics’ prepares Marines for follow-on exercises, deployment PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit
A platoon of infantry Marines patrolled down a dusty trail, secured a base of operations and waited hours before receiving orders to conduct another patrol. Another platoon of Marines hid in the brush and ambushed the patrolling Marines. After being ambushed, the platoons switched roles and repeated the process. Basic drills like this were performed throughout the day recently, as the Marines of Company B, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine
Division, trained during a larger, battalion-level exercise to prepare for their upcoming deployment with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. “With any unit, you have to have brilliance in the basics,” said Capt. Jeremy Wilkinson, the operations officer for the battalion. “This is really getting down to the ‘nitty gritty’ of teaching the Marines attacking, patrolling, offensive and defensive operations.” The company primarily serves as the battalion’s vertical assault element, meaning they insert and extract from areas by helicopter. As a result of this fact, the Marines could
spend a great deal of time on the ground without the aid of vehicles during actual operations. “The helo-borne assault capability is a means of insertion, but when we get on the ground, tactics are still tactics,” said Capt. Patrick Reddick, the company’s commanding officer. The company’s platoons spent the day patrolling and conducting offensive training. The Marines also practiced the procedures involved with inserting and extracting from helicopters. The battalion-level field exercise, or FEX, was conducted to help integrate various units scheduled to attach with the 24th
MEU in September. Once attached to the MEU, the battalion will form the Battalion Landing Team. Lt. Col. David Sosa, the commanding officer of the battalion, highlighted the fact the FEX was a way for these units to start getting used to working together. “First and foremost, it gets them used to working with each other. It’s teamwork that’s most important,” said Sosa. “(The training) lets them focus on their fundamental skills - shoot, move and communicate. As units, it helps them integrate a bit better so they’re much more effective as we progress from here.”

Retiree Corner
with Randy Reichler
Medically separated veterans may be reevaluated to correct disability retirement The Department of Defense Physical Disability Board of Review is in the process of reevaluating medical evaluation board and physical evaluation board disability ratings for some veterans medically separated between Sept. 11, 2001, and Dec. 31, 2009, to ensure a correct disability retirement determination was made. Veterans who received 20 percent or less, and were found not eligible for retirement, can apply to have their MEB/PEB disability rating reviewed for
fairness, consistency and accuracy. Former reserve members with more than 20 years of total federal military service, but fewer than 20 years of active duty and who meet the criteria are also eligible to apply. I called and talked with an officer on the board to learn more about it. He told me that it was placed under the auspices of the U.S. Air Force. They know there are more than 70 thousand below 20 percent medical discharges from Sept. 11, 2001 to Dec. 31,
2009 that could warrant a review. So far, th they have reviewed more than 2,00 2,000 files and have elevated 1,000 to a medical retirement percentag I have worked with percentage. m many medical board cases and perso can personally say this is a step in the right direction for a program with many problems. I encourage retirees to be pro-active and seek out veterans with 20 percent or less that received their finding during this period and let them know to submit. No notification letters have been sent out individually and it is on the member to request a review.

Within the military, it is said that service members look out for their own. In combat, brothers and sisters-in-arms have given life and limb for one another countless times throughout the history of our nation’s military. On Aug. 20, those service members who gave more than asked, got a little in return as volunteers from all branches came together and poured a concrete walkway outside the wounded warrior barracks aboard Camp Leatherneck, Helmand province. Until now, the wounded warrior living area has had the same temporary walkway surrounding most buildings on base, a plastic, sectioned material with two-inch square holes. The surface resembles the bottom of a milk crate and provides traction for pedestrians, but isn’t nearly as suitable for someone who needs crutches to walk. “These are the (men and women) who protect my family and ensure the freedom of our country,” said Senior Airman Randall Mathis, an equipment operator, with 809th Expeditionary Red Horse Squadron. “It breaks my heart to see them trying to walk around on the gravel or eco-matting, wounded or on crutches.”
The project itself did not come together on its own. It required the cooperation of many moving parts, units and volunteers, ultimately organized by Cpl. David Boswell, operations noncommissioned officer with the base’s camp commandant, and airmen of the 809th Red Horse Squadron. “It’s an honor to work on this project,” said Mathis. “Being in the Air Force, I don’t really get the chance to go outside of the wire and do great things. It is great to be able to do this for the wounded warriors.” Boswell started the project, Aug. 15, by getting in touch with Red Horse Squadron. and discussing logistics. The following day, Red Horse contacted Boswell and agreed to participate in the event, and, by Aug. 18, they were at the site laying the groundwork for the concrete pouring. The concrete itself was brought in by Regional Command Southwest’s engineer section. The project would have taken more Photo by Lance Cpl.

July 2010 - June 2011 Annual Wastewater Performance Report The Annual Wastewater Performance Report is available to users and customers of the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant. What is an AWPR? As a result of the North Carolina Clean Water Act of 1999, owners and operators of wastewater treatment and collection systems are subject to important reporting requirements. All wastewater treatment and collection systems, including the wastewater treatment plant at MCB Camp Lejeune, are required to publish an AWPR that summarizes the treatment works’ and collection system’s performance over a 12 month period. The AWPR is a “report card” to provide facts about wastewater treatment for MCB Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River. A description of the wastewater treatment process performance and deficiencies is also provided in the AWPR. The AWPR is available to users and customers of the treatment plant. For copies of this report or for additional information contact the MCB Camp Lejeune utilities director at 451-5024. The AWPR is also posted on the Environmental Management Division website lejeune.usmc.mil/emd. IRENE FROM 1A Yoko Isaac, a military spouse and resident of the Paradise Point community, said she heard loud thumps outside her house during the storm, however, with the e-mails she received, she was well prepared. Isaac described the e-mails as, “very helpful,” as it detailed how she needed to prepare her home for the hurricane. She chose to stay at home through the hurricane. She was scared, she said, but she found it reassuring to know there were shelters on base. The base experienced multiple power outages during the storm. However, Jim Sides, the utilities director with the Public Works Division aboard the base, said the power was mostly operational by Monday night. While there may be a few areas which may take longer to fix, the power was nearly fully operational by Tuesday evening. “We’re continuing to work on the power,” said Lecce. “It is a continuing concern for us, but it takes a little bit of time, so we ask for some patience.” Already, the base is back to its daily routine and most of Marine Corps Community Services businesses are open, or will be opening in the upcoming days. On Sunday, work crews were already scouring the area and removing debris that could pose a hazard to drivers and pedestrians. Contractors were brought on base in order to deal with dangerous situations that the Marines have not been trained to handle. “Dealing effectively with a storm requires the collective efforts of various departments and agencies on base,” said Mahoney. “When coordination occurs between these entities as effectively as they did during this storm, the base is able to recover quickly and continue its mission - a direct reflection of the finely-tuned standard operating procedure that’s been developed over years of battling hurricanes and other disasters.” As the commotion from Hurricane Irene settles down, base officials know that hurricane season is not over and will be prepared for any more hurricanes that may hit the area. “Everybody rose to the occasion and did great work,” said Lecce. “I think everybody did exactly as the plan called and executed it well during the pre-hurricane operations, during the hurricane and during the recovery operation.”

Recon Marines dive into readiness SGT. RICHARD BLUMENSTEIN 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit
T
he dark of night, roaring winds and crashing waves of Onslow Beach served as the perfect cover for reconnaissance Marines training to conduct amphibious clandestine operations recently. The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit's Force Reconnaissance platoon conducted dive operations recently, to maintain their skills and prepare for their upcoming deployment. During the training, the Marines rode between 1,500 to 2,000 meters away from the shore on a rubber reconnaissance craft, also known as a Zodiac. They dived off the Zodiac and swam while submerged 10 to 25 feet underwater. The Marines stealthily inserted onto the beach and conducted a patrol to gather information, before finally reinserting
into the water and swimming back to their Zodiac. “We want them to get onto the beach without anybody ever knowing they’re there,” said Capt. Patrick Madden, the platoon commander. “Subsurface infiltration is one of the key ways to do it.” Dive operations are fraught with peril. In the water, reconnaissance Marines face a number of challenges both encumbering and dangerous. During a dive, a Marine could suffer from decompression sickness, an affliction sometimes caused from diving that could result in unconsciousness, vertigo or death. The Marines may also face powerful currents that could impact their operations. Or worse, if the Marines are spotted by a hostile enemy force, the results could be disastrous. The training served as a way for the Marines to reaffirm confidence in their abilities and equipment and
to overcome those challenges. “We are going to hit something that’s an unknown,” said Staff Sgt. Brandon Harper, a reconnaissance Marine. “That’s why we continue to train, push the envelope toward making the training a little more difficult and a little more realistic.” Reconnaissance Marines conduct dive operations as a means of insertion and extraction into areas for a number of different missions, such as information gathering and ensuring the safety of a location in advance of the main force. The training took place to maintain the Marines’ skills in conducting the types of clandestine missions they may carry out with the 24th MEU. “We go to an area that’s not secure and we’ll be the first force to secure that beach,” Harper said. “We give the commander a better understanding of what’s going on in that area, so they can prepare for a beach landing.”

Jujitsu teacher Wayne Nelson helps his student, Xavier Turcotte, force out his internal energy, his Chi, as part of a warm-up exercise at jujitsu class on Thursday. Chi is an Eastern Philosophy often referred to as energy on the verge of matter. Many forms of martial arts, including jujitsu, use Chi to control their techniques.

Wayne Nelson and a student demonstrate the correct way to keep an attacker on the ground during a jujitsu class on Tuesday.
ayne Nelson may not look particularly threatening at first glance, but watch him for a few minutes and you may change your mind. Nelson, who studies the art of jujitsu, a Japanese self-defense martial art, has the ability to bring almost anybody to their knees in less than three seconds. Jujitsu is the art of unarmed self-defense in which students are taught how to grapple with their attacker in up-close situations, when weapons are no longer helpful. The name jujitsu is commonly translated in two parts. Ju is the concept of gentleness and yielding nature. Jitsu is the action part of the concept, which led the Japanese to coin the phrase “soft art” when describing jujitsu. “You only need room for your two feet,” said Nelson. “I’ve heard it said that you can do jujitsu in a phone booth.” Unlike other martial art forms such as karate, which uses kicks and punches in order to keep attackers at bay, jujitsu becomes a useful self-defense technique when

an attacker is too close to fight off. It is a grapplingbased technique that relies on potentially fatal moves to bring down an attacker. “In karate, you kick and punch to keep an attacker from getting too close to you,” said Nelson. “But in jujitsu, you have two options. You can hold somebody down and cause them pain, or you can just end their life right then and there.” Nelson, a retired Marine, has been teaching jujitsu for almost 30 years. As a Marine, Nelson began to teach in 1982. Following his retirement, Nelson contracted with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in 1997 and opened his own school, Nelson’s Jujitsu School, in building 39, where he began to teach full-time. “Jujitsu is not a sport. It is not something you do casually. It is a way of life,” said Nelson. “Take the Samurai, for example. They studied from the time they woke up to the time they went to bed. They practiced all day long.” While modern day jujitsu techniques rely on being unarmed, jujitsu has incorporated a wide variety of elements throughout history, ranging from archery to sword fighting. In full armor, it was often difficult for a Samurai to use a long sword to injure or maim his opponent. A
Samurai was in a much better position to use his hands, a dagger or his short sword. “Jujitsu is an old Samurai battlefield technique that began as armed defense,” said Nelson. “Today, we have taken it and broken it down to a mainly weaponless defense style.” Nelson believes that jujitsu is unique because unlike other forms of martial arts, it is not necessary to see your opponent to defend yourself. “I don’t need to see you to know how to hurt you,” said Nelson. “Blindfold me and as long as I can find one part of your body, I can put you on the ground.” Because it is so hands on, jujitsu proves to be a difficult technique to master. Unlike karate and other forms of martial arts, jujitsu places added emphasis on techniques like throwing, jointlocking, choking and pinning. Jujitsu students and teachers must warm up carefully in order to keep from getting injured while practicing. “We stretch parts of the body you would never think about,” said Xavier Turcotte, Nelson’s son-in-law. “Good stretching is how we keep from getting hurt. Occasionally we have men or women get injured, but it’s just part of the lifestyle. What doesn’t SEE JUJITSU 4B

were used as building materials for some of the reefs off the shoreline in the past. Those same tires have been washing ashore since Bertha and Fran in 1996. Bogue Pier was also damaged. According to owner Mike Stanley, the pier lost approximately 225 feet from the cleaning station on out to the king mackerel area and observation deck. A piling on the west side needs to be replaced. Stanley hopes to have part of the pier reopened for fishing later this week, pending a pier inspection and a meeting with Emerald Isle town officials. Stanley is hopeful that Bogue Pier will see a good spot season this fall and that he can rebuild the piece in the off-season. The new wildlife boat ramp in Emerald Isle looks fine, except for a few downed trees and some grass on the ramps. The wildlife ramp in Cedar Point is in similar
condition, as is Dudley’s Marina. Island Harbor Marina in Emerald Isle has suffered damage to its east and central docks, though its west dock remains operational. The Point in Emerald Isle looked great on Sunday, but there was a lot of sand blown around the dunes and on the roofs of some ocean front houses. The Point did not get completely washed over and the middle spine of The Point was not washed over by the high tides. The bridge to the Coast Guard Island also still remains intact and the Coast Guard channel, opened by Hurricane Ophelia in 2005, remains closed off. The Ask Dr. Bogus Fishing show can be heard every Monday morning at 7:30 on 107.1 FM and 1240 AM and accessed on the Coastal Daybreak Facebook page.

You can look at the faces of the players on the field and know that they are feeling the pressure of the moment. That pressure might feel normal for any athlete who wants to prove themselves, but the normalcy of the moment ends when you put a camera in their face and broadcast the pressure they feel all over the nation. I’ve heard it argued that broadcasting the Little League World Series is a good way to build up resilience. While this may hold true for some of the kids who played in the tournament, I don’t think it is true for all of them. Kids have to toughen up, but their emotions will naturally develop and mature as they age. Every person I know matured and learned to control their emotions without having their mistakes broadcast across the nation. The constant barrage of media attention is too much for any child to deal with. Let the kids play their sport, but don’t try to turn them into adults. They’re kids who need to be able to learn from their mistakes without worrying that everybody in the country saw it. They need to be able to move past their errors without having to worry about letting down their parents and coaches on national television. I watched the Little League World Series this year, mainly because I had never watched it before. My final word on the ESPN broadcasts? I will find something else to watch next August.

Bait, shoot authorized for bow hunters SGT. BRYAN A. PETERSON Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
If you’re a bow hunter and love nothing more than venison, then this is your year to hunt aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Starting Sept. 10 and running through Jan. 2, during deer season, bow hunters will be allowed to bait in designated bow hunting areas, such as those closer to the front gate of MCB Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River and areas close to mainside and Stone Bay. The MCB Camp Lejeune Conservation Law Enforcement Office noted, however, that the bait can only be natural, such as things that can be grown and in bow hunting areas only. Paul Boniface, the chief conservation law enforcement officer for MCB Camp Lejeune, said due to the influx of deer on base, allowing baiting will help rid the overpopulation in heavily trafficked human areas. “There’s a lot of construction that’s going on right now and it has pushed the deer out of their habitats,” said Boniface. “The main problem is around the areas close to human activity. However, we will only allow corn, sweet potatoes, and things like that. No salt licks or anything that is processed is allowed.” The process of baiting is illegal in most states, and in the case for MCB Camp Lejeune, it has been reactivated for the first time in two years. “This is something that needs to be allowed so we can help control the population,” said Boniface. “The problem is in the human-trafficked areas,
not so much the training areas, where most deer are away from constant human activity.” For those who are not comfortable hunting with a traditional bow, a recent repeal in a North Carolina state law has made the process easier for hunters to buy a crossbow, formerly part of the same process to buy a handgun. According to North Carolina Senate Bill 406, which was signed into law by Gov. Bev Perdue April 28, hunters are no longer required to obtain a pistol permit to buy, sell, receive or otherwise transfer a crossbow. Crossbows are now regulated the same as any other type of bow. “Just as with bow hunters, crossbows are allowed on base to hunt,” added Boniface. “All bow hunters are still required, however, to pass an archery test.” In order to hunt on base, hunters must create an account on the Electronic Fish and Wildlife Conservation Tracking System and pass a 43question test that explains hunting procedures aboard the installation. Upon passing the test, hunters must purchase a MCB Camp Lejeune hunting permit for $20 at the Marine Corps Exchange Annex and bring the receipt to conservation office. “Every three years, a hunter must take the test in order to gain access to base property to hunt,” said Boniface. “Also, though the base hunting permit lasts for three years, every year a fee of $20 is required to utilize base grounds for hunting.” To gain access to designated areas to hunt on MCB Camp Lejeune, MCAS New River and any other surrounding satellite installations, a person, whether hunting or
scouting, must first check-in and out on the EFAWCTS. “We need to make sure who comes in and out of these areas due to the fact we have Marines training,” said Boniface. “If we have a hunter out there and he or she doesn’t check out, we have no idea if they have left for the day or not. Then, we have to go and find them and make sure the area is clear before a Marine unit can start training afterward.” Boniface added hunters can either log in to the system from one of the three check stations aboard the installations with locations at MCB Camp Lejeune, MCAS New River or the Verona Loop, or they can do it from the convenience of their own home. Patrick O’Neal, a MCB Camp Lejeune conservation officer, said hunters should do everything they can in order to follow the rules, or citations will be given out, ultimately leading to banning a hunter for a period of six months. “If a hunter forgets to check back in, but we can get a hold of them on the phone, the first offense is only a three-day suspension,” said O’Neal. “If they violate it a second time and third time, we will suspend their hunting privileges for seven days and send them to court, respectively.” “However, if they don’t check back in and we can’t get a hold of them on their phones, then they automatically go to court and get their privileges suspended for six months,” continued O’Neal. Essentially, we would be utilizing resources to square the problem away, so we don’t want anything like that to happen.” After harvesting a deer, a hunter must immediately

Bait is found in a training area. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River and surrounding satellite installations are going to allow baiting, which is a process used by hunters to lure in big game, starting this deer season, Sept. 10. However, baiting will only be allowed in designated bow hunting areas. punch the corresponding hole on the deer tag, bring it to one of the check stations and have it evaluated by one of the conservation law enforcement officers. “Once the deer is brought over, the hunter will have to remove the jaw so the base biologist can enter in data determining the age,” said Boniface. “This information can determine how healthy the deer population is.” Seems like a lot of rules and regulations to follow on base, but as Boniface put it, “It’s for the safety of our Marines, sailors and deer population.” “We take our jobs very seriously, to heart,” said Boniface. “We want to make sure the hunting tradition carries on – something I don’t want to see go away. We want to protect the natural resources we have for future generations to enjoy.”

JUJITSU FROM 1B kill you makes you stronger.” Turcotte, who has studied under Nelson for six years, knows that jujitsu is not an easy art to learn. While he originally started studying to further his own martial arts training, he quickly started to become more interested. “I came to jujitsu with a wrestling background,” said Turcotte, “but you don’t have to have any background in order to study jujitsu.” While it is not necessary to have any previous martial arts training in order to study jujitsu, Nelson said that it can help. “It really depends on the person and their previous experience, whether it will be a help or a hindrance,” said Nelson. “Some students come in here and have been taught to punch incorrectly or to keep their fists closed when punching. Those are the types of habits that must be broken before they can start to really learn.” An important part of learning all the different techniques in jujitsu is to work with a diverse population. “I have learned all about the human body through my studies,” said Turcotte. “The human body is incredibly resilient. The great thing about it is that no two bodies are the same.” Since no two bodies are identical, some techniques, such as nerve-pinching, do not work on everybody. “Jujitsu requires a lot of playing around to find out what works and what doesn’t work,” said Turcotte. “In here, we get guys with double-jointed elbows and other unique body types.” “It’s good to work with so many different people, because you can learn so much more,” continued Turcotte. Nelson agreed that it is important to work with a wide variety of people. “No one has figured out every possible way to hurt the human body,” said Nelson. “You can use nerves or joints or bones, the list is endless.” Nelson said it is important to recognize and understand medical terminology and eastern medical practices such as acupuncture. In his school, Nelson has several acupuncture charts hanging on the walls for students to study. “In the old days, most people who practiced jujitsu were doctors or had some sort of medical background. It’s just a necessary thing,” said Nelson. “It’s important to understand pressure points, nerves and joint-locking in order to keep yourself safe.” “Since you cannot build up your joints, they are more vulnerable,” continued Nelson. “It is necessary to have an under-

Wayne Nelson has been teaching jujitsu for nearly 30 years. Nelson, a retired Marine, taught sporadically during his 22 years of active duty. He now teaches jujitsu at Nelson’s Jujitsu School aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. standing of how the human body works.” Japanese communities used to hold jujitsu tournaments. The men who participated in these tournaments often wrote out their wills before beginning their fights. “Many men who entered jujitsu tournaments were killed during them. Jujitsu is a technique designed to seriously maim or kill, so it makes sense that they would write out their wills before a tournament,” said Nelson. Today, tournaments are less popular. Nelson said he has heard of modern day tournaments, but never experienced one himself. He has, however, attended jujitsu seminars. “We have a seminar coming up next week,” said Nelson. “I’m taking five students with me - four civilians and a Navy corpsman.” The Shobudo Bujitsu Jujitsu organization is the group behind the seminar Nelson is attending with his students. The location of the seminar alternates between West Coast and East Coast every year. The 2010 seminar was held at MCB Camp Lejeune and the 2011 Shobudo Bujitsu Jujitsu seminar is being held
in Nevada. During the seminar, students and teachers gather together to learn from one another and further their jujitsu skills and techniques. “It’s a very expensive trip, which limits the number of students who can go with me,” said Nelson. “The seminar lasts two days and uses a variety of workshops to help further our understanding of jujitsu. We will do some blindfolded training, which is a necessary training method in order to receive a black belt degree in jujitsu.” Aside from blindfolded training, the jujitsu seminar will also feature student and teacher showcases, where members can show off their skills and learn from each other. The upstairs portion of Nelson’s Jujitsu School has been dedicated to strengthening the body. A boxing bag hangs from the ceiling and wooden posts stand along one wall with rough hemp wound around them and rubberized pads attached to the posts tops. “You always have to build up resistance in your body,” said Nelson. “I encourage my students to use this room to
build resilience in their bones.” The rubber pads are used to practice correct punching techniques and to strengthen and condition the body. The rough hemp rope is used to scratch and callous the skin in order to toughen it and keep some pain at bay. “I have my guys come up here and rub their knuckles across the hemp,” said Nelson. “It’s a rough material and it will scratch the skin and toughen it up a lot.” Nelson’s Jujitsu School has a high turnover rate, as many students who come for one class do not return for more. Nelson attributes this to the difficult and painful nature of jujitsu. “It is not easy and it is very painful,” said Nelson. “Eight out of 10 people who come through the doors end up leaving.” Turcotte agrees that learning can be a painful experience. “It takes a very long time to get going with jujitsu. There is a lot of rolling and falling and it really is very painful,” said Turcotte. “Occasionally, we have broken fingers or guys who get choked out in here, but if you work through the pain you can learn a lot about how amazing the human body is.”

Devil Pups’ coaching staff bring versatility, leadership to football team JESSIE HEATH Sports editor
P
ractice may be over for the day, but Lejeune High School football coaches Darryl Schwartz and James Gardiner are still hard at work. With their season just kicking off, Schwartz and Gardiner know that the Devil Pups are ready to tackle whatever comes their way in the 2011 football season. “Our season is going very well so far,” said Gardiner. “We’ve improved in every area since last year, and we are expecting a very successful season.” Gardiner, who retired from the Marine Corps as a master gunnery sergeant in 2010, is a relatively new member of the coaching staff at Lejeune High School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. He began to teach at LHS in August 2010 and quickly added football and track to his list of responsibilities. Gardiner said that his 30-year career in the military helped him prepare to lead his team. He believes that the principles he was led with are the principles he uses to lead now. “I utilize the same principles that I was taught in the military. The leadership principles that apply to coaching are work as a team, know your weakness and try to improve. Never give up and support your leaders on and off the field,” said Gardiner. “The bottom line is to always do your best.” Schwartz, who is in his second year as head coach at LHS, began his coaching career at East Hartford Catholic High School in Connecticut in 1977. He later went on to coach in Germany for 23 years, a time he says prepared him to coach in the military setting of MCB Camp Lejeune. “I am prepared to help athletes adapt to many different settings and positions,” said Schwartz. “It works in my favor here, because our men always have to be more versatile on the field.” Schwartz and Gardiner, along with the rest of the coaching staff at LHS, understand the importance of having a versatile team of athletes. In an area where players are often leaving to go visit family, executing permanent change of station orders or gone for an extended period of time, being versatile is an important part of being a team. The Devil Pups are just that. Schwartz said that his players learn not only one position, but sometimes four or five. “When players leave, we must be able to pick up the slack,” said Schwartz. “Our players have to be ready to play more than one position. This takes a lot of practice both on the field and at home also.” Schwartz and Gardiner work just as hard as their athletes, setting an example of what it takes to be versatile and well-prepared. They both agree that staying positive in the midst of a rough

Darryl Schwartz (left) and James Gardiner work just as hard as they expect their athletes to. Schwartz and Gardiner believe that they can’t ask their team to do anything they aren’t willing to do themselves. They expected their Devil Pups to be leaders both on and off the field. situation is an important part of being a coach. “We may lose half our team to movement in one season, but it won’t dampen our enthusiasm to play and compete,” said Gardiner. “It certainly won’t stop us from putting our best players on the field. The other high schools might not have the same movement situation that we have, but when we play them, they are going to know that we showed up to play. “We might even surprise a few of them,” continued Gardiner. “Over the two seasons I have been here, we’ve lost many key players, but our men always hold their heads up and perform their best.” Schwartz and Gardiner both agree
that their athletes are dedicated to their team and their school, both on and off the field. “They show up to practice hungry to learn, and they play their best on the field until the final buzzer blows,” said Schwartz. The same athletes that show their coaches their eagerness on the field are also leaders in the classroom and community. Schwartz and Gardiner said they expect their athletes to do their best in the classroom, always take the opportunity to lead when they get the chance and support the vision of LHS Principal Eric Steimel. “I try to instill the basics,” said Schwartz. “Hold your head up, always do your best and treat all people with
respect. We want our men to be wellrounded, both on and off the field.” Schwartz said he also works to build relationship with the players both on and off the field. “I want them to know that I am here for them whenever they need me,” said Schwartz. “I try my hardest to become a role model for my team.” Both Schwartz and Gardiner trust that the Devil Pups are ready for the best season they have ever had, and expect their team to perform well in the upcoming season. “I wouldn’t trade coaching at Lejeune High School for any other school. We measure success differently here and I believe our young adults are better for it,” said Gardiner.

S
enior leaders from around Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune gathered at the Paradise Point Officers’ Club, Aug. 17, for the annual Combined Federal Campaign breakfast and training session to kick off next year’s donation process. This year marks the CFC’s 50th anniversary. Since President John F. Kennedy established the CFC in 1961, the campaign has raised more than $5 billion for local, national and international organizations. According to Danielle Pentek, assistant director
of Onslow County CFC, “We are the only authorized workplace campaign for military and federal employees.” The Office of Personnel Management defines the mission for the CFC to “promote and support (charity toward others) through a program that is employee focused, cost efficient and effective in providing all federal employees the opportunity to improve the quality of life for all.” To make the CFC easily accessible, service members will be presented the opportunity to donate in their workplace. They can also make donations at the CFC office on MCB Camp Lejeune or online at onslowcountycfc.org. Onslow County, MCB Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New
River have set a goal to raise $1 million this year. “We have (more than) 2,600 charities in our brochures,” said Pentek. “If you can think of an organization, I can almost guarantee you that it’s in our brochure.” For those looking to research specific organizations before donating, information about charities, including tax numbers, phone numbers and percentages of donated money that go toward running the charity, are available on the Onslow County CFC website. “The CFC offers donors confidence, choice and convenience,” Pentek said. “The confidence comes from knowing all charities have been verified through the Internal Revenue Service. Donors
have the choice to put money toward whatever they want to support and the process is convenient by offering online donations or through a payroll deduction.” The 2011 drive is scheduled to run from Sept. 8 until Dec. 2. According to the CFC website, “After 50 years, it’s time to celebrate this success and thank you for your continued support. We hope you will take the opportunity to continue as a volunteer into this history year. All yearlong we will be recognizing the significant efforts made by federal employees through the CFC and announcing lots of new and exciting changes. Come be a part of history, and continue to help us make a difference to those that need it most.”
Deer population creates problems aboard base PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Editor’s Note: This is part 1 of a three-part series concerning deer management aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Thousands of acres of land, from dense forests to open plains, provide an ideal habitat for wildlife to thrive. Native animals such as white-tailed deer are not only stable but rapidly growing in populations aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. While an increasing deer population may initially sound positive, a detailed look reveals many adverse effects around urban locations. Martin Korenek, a wildlife manager with Land and Wildlife Resources Section, Environmental Management Division aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, said deer are naturally territorial, but when their territories expand to areas used or occupied by people, it creates problems such as deer-vehicle collisions, an increase of ticks and tick-borne illnesses and vegetation damage. Another factor contributing to the rising deer population was the recent increase in base construction, which restricted hunting in many areas on mainside, reducing the number of deer harvested, added Korenek. There have been more than 120 documented deer-vehicles collisions on MCB Camp Lejeune since 2009. The deer have been observed grazing openly on landscaping vegetation on developed urban areas, which include office complexes, recreational sites and residential areas. The damaged area consists of approximately 500 acres of urban lands, resulting in thousands

of dollars spent by both the installation and patrons on vehicle repairs and landscape restoration. In addition to the cost of collateral damage, deer are also hosts for parasites such as ticks. High deer densities in urban areas typically bring the stronger possibility of tick-borne illnesses, which can have serious consequences for humans. In 2009, there were 35 cases of tick-borne illnesses documented and treated on MCB Camp Lejeune. Twenty-four of those cases were Lyme disease and 11 were Rocky Mountain spotted fever. In 2010, there were 39 cases of Lyme disease and six cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever. “Deer are a big part of the base,” said Korenek. “They’re part of the local wildlife. Deer provide sport (as well as food) for the people hunting them on the base, but when they’re around humans, it can cre-
ate problems. If (service members) have kids that like to play outside on the yard, they don’t want to have to worry about their kids getting bit by ticks. It’s important to have deer, but we have to monitor and control their numbers so they don’t create problems for people.” Part of ensuring that the deer aboard MCB Camp Lejeune do not pose an unnecessary safety or health hazard for residents includes monitoring and controlling the overactive deer population. Base personnel also advise patrons to watch out for deer while driving at night because they are more active at that time, and to check for ticks after outdoor activities, especially if people are around wooded areas. For any questions or concerns about the wildlife aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, please call 451-7238.
At only 24 years old, Sgt. Paul Mauser had done more than most people will ever do in their lifetime. With three deployments under his belt and a bright career still ahead of him, Mauser’s death was too soon. Mauser was killed when he was struck by a vehicle in the early morning hours Aug. 5, while conducting training near Lima 5. “I’ve never met a Marine as motivated as Mauser,” said Sgt. Donald Canright, a friend and also a combat instructor with Company C, Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry - East. “You know when you first join the Marine Corps and you have that motivated aura about you, and over time you kind of lost it? Mauser always had it.” Mauser was the type of Marine who always volunteered for everything and never complained no matter the task at hand. As a combat instructor, he was always pushing the young privates and private first classes to strive to be at his level and always took time out to give a hippocket class, ensuring that the Marines he trained hit the fleet would be well prepared for whatever they came across. “He was the first one here in the morning and last to leave,” said Canright. “We’d have to fight with him to get him to go home if we were going to let him go home early, and it was a good little argument too.” Not only was Mauser a great Marine who lived and breathed the Marine Corps persona, at home he was also a family man, always spending time with his wife and son who is one and a half years old. “He always talked about how beautiful his wife is and how lucky he was to have her,” said Canright. “His son, he’d always tell stories of the mischief he got into.” At home, Mauser would sometimes sing cadence to his son, further proof that his dedication to the Marine Corps carried on well past working hours. “His motivation showed me how much motivation I had actually lost. He definitely made us fight to keep up with his level, constantly pushing and volunteering,” said Canright. “He was the first one out on the range as the (safety officer position) for hours and hours on end no matter how hot it was. He never complained, so it makes us have to keep up to that level.” In the six months Mauser was an instructor with SOI-East, he had already shown his enthusiasm and was well on his way for Instructor of the Class. “He’s just the epitome of what you expect a Marine (noncommissioned officer) to be,” said Canright. “He was a well-rounded Marine. He could workout, was highly motivated, knew his knowledge, loved the infantry and proud of what he’d done overseas. He gave the students that role model to strive for, to be like.” While Mauser was a Marine 24/7, he was also a close friend to many and would joke around and could take a joke as well. “‘Mighty Mause,’ was his nickname he got because of his size around five (feet) four (inches). He was always motivated too and we’d say, ‘Mause, you’re right here, you need to turn it down just a little bit,’” said Sgt. Everett Hudnell, a combat instructor with Company C, ITB, SOI-East. “We’d joke about his size and tell him ‘you have to be this tall to talk to the Marines.’” Hudnell was a friend of Mauser and served on two deployments with him, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. “As a deployed Marine, nothing changed. He was always outstanding, probably even a better Marine in combat,” said Hudnell. “He always wanted to be with his Marines. I remember he was forced to stay inside the wire because he had been blown up so many times, which upset him.” On his last deployment, Mauser was hit with four improvised explosive devices. After the fourth IED, he was required to stay out at the battalion forward operating base due to his multiple concussions. Despite this restriction, Mauser continued to contribute to the battalion by working at the detention facility. “He always put (SOI) over family and would volunteer to stay late or come in early,” said Hudnell. “Just watching him work, I learned that no matter how hard it gets, or how bad you don’t want be here, Marines need to be trained and that you always have got to push through to accomplish the SOI mission of training privates (and) prepar(ing) them for fleet and combat.” Now that he is gone, Mauser has left a hole in many Marines’ hearts. “His death (has had) a pretty significant impact on me,” said Hudnell. “The fact that I’ve been on two combat deployments with him and after the last deployment and how many IEDs he got hit by its just hard to imagine that something could happen as tragic as getting hit by a car after all you’ve been through in Marjah.” Mauser’s awards include Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Combat Action Ribbon with one gold star in lieu of a second award, Navy Unit Commendation, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Medal, Afghan Campaign Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terror Medal, Sea Service deployment ribbon with two stars in lieu of a third award, NATO-ISAF Medal, a certificate of commendation, a meritorious mast and three letters of appreciation. He is survived by his wife, son, parents, and sister.

Three opportunities available to you:
Driving faster than the posted speed limit anywhere, on any road, is illegal – common knowledge, right? However, for those who choose to do so, especially in a school zone, particularly in North Carolina, are in for an expensive surprise. The N.C. Senate Bill 49, which went into effect Aug. 25, states that the penalty for speeding in a school zone or on school property spiked from a not-so-bad $25 to a wallet-sapping $250. On top of the tenfold fine increase, five points will also be assessed on the violator’s driver’s license. Officials with the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety said speeding in a school zone is now on equal monetary standing with speeding in a work zone or failing to move over for stopped emergency vehicle. According to the bill, school zone speed limits are only in effect when that particular school is in session and the school zone must be properly marked with the speed limit as well as indication of the days and
hours the reduced speed limit is in effect. Aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, and other area installations, although the base military police are doing what they can to crack down on speeding, there is no monetary penalty with speeding tickets. Marine Corps Civilian Law Enforcement Officer, Lt. Marcos Vega, the traffic division supervisor, said traffic violators go through an administrative court, as opposed to a monetary system where they go out and pay fines associated with out-intown citations. However military police still implement a lot of the same governor’s highway safety programs and informative initiatives that drive both the federal and state campaigns on speeding. “Anytime there is an increase in school zone activity we follow that with enforcement and education, such as articles in the paper and safety briefs with school and faculty,� said Vega. “We make sure they can get all the notices published to parents and children. That way, everyone is aware of what’s going on to increase motorist perception that there will be children in the area.�

Coupon mania helps save money AMY BINKLEY
Carolina Carol l Living editor
F
ads have been sweeping the nation for decades – bell bottom jeans, Tupperware parties and the Macarena. While most come and go quickly, quick kly, other k others have the sustainability to actually actuaaally change the mindset of a culture. Couponing Co ouponing is tthe newest trend to tackle o the ge general eeneral public, and, unlike its predecessors, iit has staying po power. “It’s “Ittt’s changing lives p pennies at a time,” said D Diania Alfonso, a m military spouse and founder fo of Coupon Ca Cadre, a coupon website. websiiite. Alfonso Alfffonso began her cou coupon adventure nearly nearlly a year ago afte after losing her job and realizing real llizing she was still living like she was wa aas getting a paycheck. She embarked on n her qu quest of finding a way to save money while still getting gettin all the necessities for her neces family famil of five. Coupons were C her aanswer. She Sh collected all she sh could from newspaper inserts neew
and printed several from the internet. “My primary store is the commissary,” she said. “It’s a privilege, not a right, and I save a ton of money there. After I saved $80 on my first couponing trip, my husband was sold on the idea.” Clipping coupons isn’t exactly a new practice. Sunday editions of newspapers have been stuffed with savings for years. However, since the country slipped into recession in 2008, coupons have been a helpful way to cut down on the bills for groceries, toiletries and other everyday items, sometimes in a dramatic way. “Since January 1, I have saved over $1,700 just using coupons, store savings and restaurant coupons,” said Debra Winters, a former military spouse. “I think that’s pretty good. I’ve always liked saving a buck, and I just love couponing. It’s fun.” While Marines and sailors are protecting the country, their spouses are doing their part to ensure their family is taken care of at home. Couponing has provided a type of income for some families. Veronica Madrid, a military spouse, is new to the couponing game, but the thrill of finding good deals and saving money for her family keeps her diligent in her clipping. SEE COUPONS 6D

‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ revitalizes typical rom-com Now playing at Midway Park “CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE” (PG-13) “Crazy, Stupid, Love” is a romantic comedy and drama about a newly separated guy who gets dating advice from a ladies’ man. The movie centers on a father’s life that unravels while he deals with a marital crisis and tries to manage his relationship with his children. The story also digs into multiple affairs of the heart with several interwoven stories. Steve Carell (“Date Night,” “Get Smart”) stars as Cal Weaver, a 40-something, straight-laced father, who has been happily married for 25 years to his high-school sweetheart. Julianne Moore (“The Kids Are Alright,” “A Single Man”) stars as Emily Weaver, his adoring wife. The two have the perfect life together and are living the American dream, until Emily asks for a divorce. Emily sends Cal into a tailspin after confessing to an affair and saying she wants out of the marriage. Cal’s perfect life quickly unravels and he is having difficulties navigating the single scene again. When Cal meets Jacob Palmer, played by Ryan Gosling (“Blue Valentine,” “The Notebook”), a handsome, young professional bachelor and ladies man, he is soon taken on as wingman and protégé for the smooth operator, with a complete makeover for Cal.
However, the allknowing Jacob has his own problems when he finds himself falling in love with the beautiful but cautious Hannah, an inspiring law student, played by Emma Stone (“Friends With Benefits,” “Easy A”). Cal and Emily are not the only ones who are looking for love in all the wrong places. Cal’s 13-year-old son, Robbie, played by Jonah Bobo (“Choke”), is crazy about his 17-year-old babysitter, Jessica, played by Analeigh Tipton (“The Green Hornet”), who in turn has a crush on Robbie’s father. Despite Cal’s grand makeover and his many new conquests, the one thing that cannot be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading him back to where he began. Also starring are Marisa Tomei (“The Lincoln Lawyer”) as Kate Thompson, a single school teacher who hooks up with Cal; and Kevin Bacon (“X-Men: First Class”) as David Lindhagen, a besotted accountant and Emily’s new beau. Rousing balladeer Josh Grobin makes his featurefilm debut as Hannah’s caddish boyfriend. Carell and Gosling make an extremely funny odd couple, however, Gosling romancing Emma Stone is the highlight of this show. Directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, who previously collaborated on “I Love Phillip Morris,” brought together an outstanding ensemble cast for

this unusual dramedy with a sophisticated screenplay written by Dan Fogelman (“Cars 2,” “Tangled”). “Crazy, Stupid, Love” is a sweet, big-hearted, funny and artful movie, a different kind of romantic comedy that explores the nature of love with all its changes and pitfalls. Now playing in Jacksonville “CONAN THE BARBARIAN” “Conan the Barbarian” returns after nearly three decades. The action adventure this time around is filmed in 3-D. The movie is a reboot of the 1982 film that became a cult classic and made its key actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a household name and a Hollywood superstar. The story recalls the tale of Conan the Cimmerian and his trek across the continent of Hyboria on a quest to avenge the murder

of his father and the slaughter of his village. Jason Momoa (HBO’s “Games of Thrones,” “Stargate Atlantis”) stars as Conan, who is bent on vengeance that takes him across the continent to repay those who killed his father and decimated his village. A quest that begins as a personal vendetta for the fierce Cimmerian warrior soon turns into an epic battle against hulking rivals, horrific monsters and impossible odds. Conan, who lives by, “I live, I love, I slay, I am content,” soon realizes he is the only hope of saving the great nations of Hyboria from an encroaching reign of supernatural evil. Co-starring are Ron Perlman (“Season of the Witch,” “Battle for Terra”) as Conan’s father, who is killed by a warlord; Rachel Nichols (“Star Trek”) as Tamara, the female monk who is handy with the sword and assists Conan;

well executed, with the help of the talented Ray Harryhausen. Momoa, who is of Hawaiian descent, definitely looks the part and brings a certain magnetic charm to the iconic character who he interprets magnificently. He will most likely become Hollywood’s next leading male-action star. “Conan the Barbarian,” the most legendary barbarian of all times, is back and brings quite a different portrayed hero alive, even though the need for shooting in 3-D is unnecessary. Watch it in its regular showing and enjoy some mindless, but bloody fantasy entertainment. Ms. Huneycutt is the public affairs assistant at the base Public Affairs Office.

During the ravages of Hurricane Irene during the weekend of Aug. 26 and 27, eight babies were born at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune during its establishment as a hurricane shelter. While three of the eight babies were born by caesarean section, the remaining five births might have been influenced by the dropping of the barometric pressure due to the storm, said to affect the onset of early labor.

uman physiology is something that, even after centuries of medical practice and research, is still not completely understood. Much akin to how the moon’s influence over the Earth’s tides was once a mystery, such can be said for the effect that drastic changes in the weather have over full-term pregnant women. Hurricane Irene was a storm that some people could think lightly of, for as opposed to the tornado that ravaged the area on the night of April 16, Irene was expected far in advance, allowing for ample preparations to be taken. One such preparation was the transformation of Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune into a fully-functional hurricane shelter for families of patients as well as of the staff. “(The night of Aug. 26) we had 305 staff members, including many for rotating shifts, 35 patients, 85 family members, 20-plus late pregnant women and their families and 22 pets in cages,” stated Navy Capt.
Daniel J. Zinder in a report published to Navy Medicine online. “We brought six new Navy/Marine Corps babies into the world Friday night.” Following the events of Friday night until Saturday afternoon two more babies were born in the hospital, totaling eight born during the course of Hurricane Irene. While only one newborn carries “Irene” as a middle name, what was the complete scope of care given to full-term women by the hospital? “The Labor and Delivery Ward had 11 nurses for day shifts and seven for the night along with a midwife, (obstetrics and gynecology) doctor and a family practice resident, with supplies brought in for eight days,” said Scott Staup, division officer for the Labor and Delivery Ward, NHCL. “We had to relocate the patients to different rooms due to the tornado warning, but even with that and a power outage, our corpsmen and nurses did everything to ensure the patients were taken care of,” Staup continued. The hospital ensured it contacted all women at or past the 38-week gestation period currently receiving care in the hospital to warn them about the effect of

such a storm on pregnant women. Many took advantage of the offered care, and whether by the barometric pressure or the chance of time, eight women gave birth in the wake of the storm. While there is no defining study or single point of agreement in the matter, recent independent studies have shown evidence that a drop in barometric pressure creates suction on the amniotic sac. Whether or not an individual’s amniotic sac withstands such a pressure suction is left up to chance, it stands that such a change in the atmospheric pressure can naturally induce labor two weeks before it was “slated” to occur. “Three of the eight births that took place were done by caesarean section, but the other five might have been influenced,” said Staup. “We estimated that we would go above our daily delivery average and prepared as such, bringing eight healthy babies into the world.” While the interference with the amniotic sac may or may not be the cause behind the atmosphere’s influence on full-term pregnant women, it is one factor the naval hospital ensured it was prepared for as they waited out Hurricane Irene.

Through couponing, Winters has saved more than $1,700 since January while Alfonso has saved nearly $10,000 over the course of one year. COUPONS FROM 1D “I think it’s all about the hunt in finding savings,” she said. “It’s like putting cash back into your pockets.” Collin Morgan, a military spouse and founder of the couponing website www.Hip2Save.com, has gained national notoriety by sharing deals and coupon secrets to more than 10.5 million visitors a month. While fame isn’t her goal, she’s thankful she’s able to help people save, especially her fellow military families. “Military families are on a limited budget,” she said. “Couponing enables (them) to stretch their hard earned dollars further and even add more funds to their savings account or save up for a vacation.” Morgan has had to manage her house alone more than once while her husband has deployed, but she found comfort in her money-saving hobby. “Deployments can be very lonesome for the spouse who is left behind, but I personally feel couponing can make you feel a lot less alone, especially when you find a couponing buddy,” she explained. “You will feel empowered and when your spouse gets back from deployment, you will be proud of your savings and even prouder to know that you can pay cash for that special vacation you’ve been planning.” Alfonso, who has taught several couponing classes aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River, has been surprised that several of her students are not military spouses. “The best audience has been the active-duty Marines,” she noted. “They want to save money so they can buy what they want. We’re empowering and encouraging them with the knowledge and know-how to coupon with confidence.” For those new to the
coupon world, a simple definition of the phenomenon is matching up coupons with store sales, promotions and rebates to get the lowest price possible. Consumers don’t have to work too hard to find the tickets to treasure. Besides the Sunday papers, coupons are located in magazines, inside products, like cereal boxes, on the back of receipts and, of course, several Internet sites. The information about couponing can be slightly scary for those who live life in an organized chaos, but it’s simpler than it appears. “There are two downfalls to couponing,” said Alfonso. “People either get overwhelmed or they use all of their coupons on items they don’t even need and spend more than they normally would.” The solution is easy. “Start small,” she said. “Begin with either a dollar amount you want to save, like $20, or a store.” Her biggest piece of advice to those starting their couponing journey is to purchase a binder and baseball card holders that can easily hold any clippings. “I’ve seen people with shoeboxes, folders and even Kleenex boxes full of coupons,” Alfonso explained. “It’s whatever works for you. I just find that binder makes it easy and less overwhelming.” Because the commissary is her primary store, Alfonso researched the floor plan for the store and organized her binder according to the aisles. It may seem like a lot of work at first, but she said that starting with a wellorganized plan has made every other trip easy and more than affordable. “Most of the time the couponer will be more educated than the cashier about coupons so keep up with your policies and have proper couponing etiquette,” she advised. For example, if shop-
pers know they are going to be using a handful of coupons before jumping in line, they should try to somewhat organize them and be ready to hand them to the cashier instead of throwing a stack of clippings at them. This small act will not only earn respect from the employee but also appreciation from the other shoppers in line. “I’ve been doing this for almost a year and have saved almost $10,000,” she stated. “I only spend three hours a week gathering coupons. I don’t believe in hoarding, but there’s nothing wrong with stockpiling items you’ll use.” Alfonso noted that by stacking coupons, using both a manufacturer’s and a store coupon for the same purchase, people can save tons of money and sometimes even get free items. “If you can get it free or almost free, why not?” she asked. “Even if you won’t use it, you can donate it.” Commissary shoppers should note that even though some coupons may be labeled as military store coupons, the commissary considers them manufacturer coupons which means they cannot be stacked. Alfonso also encourages people not to throw away expired coupons because they can be sent to families overseas, where coupons last for six more months after the expiration date. “Earlier this year, we sent 3,000 coupons to three very thankful families,” she said. “They were able to save a lot of money.” Since the coupon craze doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon, Alfonso encourages everyone to give it a try. “Chuck your brand for three months and do a coupon boot camp,” she said. “Watch and see how much money you can save.”

Me, myself and Irene:
Chaplain’s Corner
Despite disasters, How I survived my first hurricane peace abounds I’ve never been the damsel in distress kind
of girl, but associating with the country’s most formidable force on a daily basis has had a bravery-boosting effect on my mindset.
LT. MARK BROOKS Camp Geiger
The news from around our world speaks of nothing but turmoil. Nations in unrest, changing of governments and natural disasters all are brought before our eyes daily. Even in our own country there are state governments at a stand-still. People cry for peace but there is none to be found. So where can we turn for this elusive peace? There is a peace to be found and it is not in the hopes and ability of humans. This is not to say that we do not strive and contend for freedom and liberty, we must. It is the realization that life in this world is an imperfect one and it always will be. So where do we turn? To the peace that passes all understanding which only comes from God. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” The world’s ability to provide peace is limited and at best is a short-lived striving after the wind. The choice before us is do we seek that which is temporary, or permanent and not dependent on our circumstances? Before we can truly begin to attempt any temporal peace in our world we must first have peace with God. Once we have peace with God we can then have it in ourselves, our marriage and families, work, and with the world. This peace does not imply some sort of Utopia but a comfort and assurance that no matter my circumstance and the chaos around me my God is with me and he is my peace. So the decision is yours. Do you pursue what you cannot achieve by your own efforts or do you admit your inability to attain peace and trust the only one who can provide it? Let me leave you with the benediction the Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, who were also concerned with the turmoil of their times. “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.” Blessings and peace.

New to Me with Amy Binkley Carolina Living editor
I
survived Hurricane Irene. I’m an official East Coaster. For those of you who have lived through the big storms like Fran and Bertha, Irene barely made a blip on your radar, but this was a fairly significant event for a girl who’s only ever lived in land-locked states. Don’t get me wrong. Storms are nothing new to me. Tornadoes are just a part of life during the spring and fall in west Tennessee. Hurricanes, however, are completely different beasts. I am a self-proclaimed weather-watching nerd and had been tracking the system since its no-name tropical depression stages. However, once Irene had a title, path and projection, I knew immediately we were not going to be friends. I tend to distance myself from things and people bent on destruction. I started asking questions from locals about what to expect. Their responses ranged from telling me not worry at all to strongly encouraging me to get the heck out of dodge. Needless to say, I was torn.
Staying meant weathering a storm unlike any I’d ever experienced at the risk of personal injury, structural damage and an August weekend with no air conditioning. Leaving meant sitting in traffic for hours, offering my house up as a snack for the already-toobig-for-her-britches Irene, and waiting. My decision to stay was easy after I found out my best friend, who is not a fan of any bad weather, would not be able to go. No man left behind, right? It quickly dawned on me that after more than a year of working for and with the Marine Corps, a few things are starting to sink in. I’ve never been the damsel in distress kind of girl, but associating with the country’s most formidable force on a daily basis has had a braveryboosting effect on my mindset. In times of emergency, an acronym is always best, and, in this case, ‘BAMCIS’ fit the bill. First, I began planning. A situation had presented itself and action was required. My plan was to stay, prepare my house to the best of my ability and keep myself and others safe. I brainstormed ideas, imagining the best and worst possible scenarios, and made mental notes of what and who would
need to be involved. Then I arranged for reconnaissance, identifying the things that I didn’t know from the very first step of my plan. Not knowing much about hurricane preparation, this step took the longest. I had a list of questions I needed answered and pinpointed the proper people to ask. I made my grocery and supply list and debated on whether or not to brave a trip to Walmart. I opted out of the latter, choosing my sanity over a case of water. I cut out the emergency numbers list from the paper and even Googled the proper way to tape up a window to keep it from shattering. Next, I made reconnaissance. It may sound like I was in the kitchen whipping up some Italian dinner, but I was actually venturing out to gather the items on my list. I was very strategic in my shopping moves. I went two days before Irene’s appearance hoping to miss the first wave of worry-warts and carefully avoiding eye contact with people who were stocking up for the apocalypse and others who could not control their young. Through the distractions of the chaotic populace and misplaced items in the stores, I kept my eyes on the target, never deviating from the plan. Completing the plan
was easy enough. I scratched the unnecessary idea of stocking up every medication known to man when a simple first-aid kit will do. I added the tactic of packing a 30-second bag for each of us to have by the door. A 30-second bag is the item you take when you only have the short amount of time to grab and go in case of an emergency evacuation, or a zombie invasion, packed with a change of clothing, shoes, light snacks and any necessary toiletries you can’t live without, like waterproof mascara. I had never been so happy to be called nonessential when the base commanding officer gave the order for everyone but the head honchos to go home. I jumped in the car, finished checking off the items on my list and prepared to hunker down for the following 36 hours. With everything else out of the way, I issued the order to tape up the windows with our neverfailing duct tape and supervised making dinner before the electricity went out. By the time the wind started blowing, we were perfectly prepared for anything Irene was ready to dish out. I reminded myself, even in the scary moments, to keep a survivor mindset. It’s what a Marine would do.
