The landscape is mountainous and arid with temperatures nearing 100 degrees. A large group of Marines crouched low just behind the crest of a ridgeline. They received the signal, rushed over the top, set up their machine guns and laid down a heavy barrage of lead on an unsuspecting enemy. Meanwhile, another group of Marines charged from around the base of the hill to assault the enemy position. Today, the “enemy” is plastic silhouette targets and plywood
bunkers located in the southern Arizona desert. The Marines with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division conducted live-fire platoon and company-sized combined arms attacks Oct. 5 through 7, at the Yuma Proving Grounds in Yuma, Ariz. The training began Oct. 5, with each platoon conducting assaults with machine-gun support. By Oct. 7, the Marines were ready to conduct a company-sized attack complete with machine-gun support as well as Javelin Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided missiles.
“We conducted company-level attacks, using fire and maneuver, and combined arms,” said Capt. Tyler Holt, a company commander. “After completing this training, the Marines understand how to move and work together to accomplish the mission.” The Marines began training and working up to the point to conduct these attacks earlier in the summer at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, doing fire team and squad training. The culmination of training was the company attack. The Marines executed a clearing zone against difficult terrain. “We executed the mission
without dry runs,” said 2nd Lt. Bernardo Garcia, a platoon commander. “It was good for the Marines, especially the smallunit leaders, to get where they needed to be and make adjustments on the fly, which is key to success in combat.” On a lower level, the training taught the Marines to support the unit internally and the importance of communication between the different elements of the attacking force. “We worked with support elements to suppress the targets, which allowed us to move to take out the objectives,” said Sgt. Cameron Golden, a squad lead-
er. “We also learned the importance of communication, even at the lowest level. For example, if a (private first class) isn’t relaying his ammo levels to his fire team leader, and the information doesn’t make it up to the company commander, the commander doesn’t have a clear picture of the combat situation.” After the attacks were completed, the sweat-drenched Marines marched back to the original staging area with their heads held high. “The Marines did very well,” said Holt. “I feel great about the way the Marines executed this training.”

Marines help ANSF, Sangin Government stand tall

It was seven long months for the Marines and sailors of 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 6, but they will soon return home to family and friends from Sangin, Afghanistan. The Marines faced a difficult task at a difficult time for both the Marine Corps and Afghanistan. They watched as temperatures rose to more than 120 degrees Fahrenheit and tensions in the region became more intense with each passing day. “Our primary mission was to develop the capabilities of the Afghan National Security Forces,” said. Lt. Col. David Bradney, commanding officer of 1st Bn., 7th Marines. “The second part of the mission was to defeat the insurgency in Sangin, Afghanistan.” For seven months, the Marines worked with Afghan Forces, training the Afghan Local Police, Afghan National Civil Order Police and Afghan National Army soldiers. The Marines partnered with ANSF during training and operations. They continued the work of previous battalions, strengthening the ANSF. “We are trying to develop the capabilities of the ANSF while beating back the insurgency to allow the government of Afghanistan to more proactively govern the citizens of Afghanistan,” said Bradney. The battalion assigned more Marines to train the Afghan forces than any of the previous battalions in the area. They organized an infantry company specifically to work with the Afghan Forces. Through the efforts of the 191 Marines, the Afghan forces received more individualized training. “Most battalions previously came with 60 to 70 Marines devoted to the mission,” said Bradney, referring to training the Afghan forces. “With 191 Marines specifically for the mission, we were able to work with the individual policeman all the way up to the chief of police.” The additional attention helped the ANSF develop an independence from the Marines. “They are able to plan and coordinate amongst themselves,” said Bradney. “We knew they were always able, but now they are more willing to conduct independent operations. Now they go out regularly by themselves.”

The first Sangin District security council meets with local Afghan National Security Forces recently. 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment deployed to Sangin in March and saw a growth in the local Afghan Government and ANSF. The Marines also conducted partnered operations throughout Sangin and the upper Helmand River valley. The battalion operated during the summer fighting season, and the Marines saw plenty of action. They were involved in more than 300 direct firefights and found approximately 300 improvised explosive devices. The battalion suffered 39 casualties and six fallen heroes. “The hardest part is coping with the casualties and the heroes,” said Sgt. Maj. Keith Coombs, battalion sergeant major, 1st Bn., 7th Marines. Coombs had Marines construct a memorial – what he calls an honor garden – to honor the previous battalions that served in Sangin and their fallen brothers. “I wanted to make sure the Marines who came before us would always be remembered,” said Coombs. The Marines faced a difficult situation when they arrived in the spring. Not only were they deploying at the start of the fighting season, but they were arriving fresh off of the heels of controversy involving the Marine Corps and Afghanistan. “We came at a critical time,” said Coombs.
“We needed a unit to come in here and really do it right. The Marines knew they had to do it right. The Marine Corps needed them to do it right, and they did it right.” The battalion knew their actions would be under intense scrutiny, and they couldn’t afford any slip-ups. “Our non-commissioned officers made tough decisions with the rules of engagement and all the things that come with having to make on-thespot calls during firefights,” said Coombs. “It impressed me the most. NCOs making the right call and wanting to do it right every single day.” As the Marines strengthened the ANSF and helped rid the area of insurgent activity, the people of Sangin witnessed positive trends in their security and economy. “A lot of people thought security in Sangin was unachievable,” said Coombs. “They said Sangin couldn’t be tamed. The security couldn’t be good because it was always too kinetic in the area.” With battalion level operations specifically SEE STAND 3A

BaseLegal Base Legal By M.S. Archer
Things you should know: Refund anticipation loans, law Halloween will soon be here, and shortly thereafter, advertisements for refund anticipation loans and similar products. RALs are a bad deal, and if they violate the Military Lending Act, an illegal deal as well. When initiating a RAL, the commercial tax preparer reviews your tax return to determine the amount of your refund, if any. If you don’t yet have a W-2, the tax preparer makes the refund estimate based on your leave and earnings statement, or from last year’s return, making it less reliable. The tax preparer then loans you money in the amount of the anticipated refund. When you get your refund, you need to pay the tax preparer back, with interest. If you don’t get a refund, or less of a refund than expected, you still need to pay back the loan, with interest. Historically, RALs are very expensive, short-term loans with annual interest rates that can exceed 360 percent. The MLA (10 USC 987), through its implementing regulation (32 CFR 232), limits the maximum annual percentage rate on RALs made to service members or their dependents to 36 percent. In calculating the interest rate, lenders are required to include additional loan related costs, including the cost of credit life insurance or debt cancellation agreement, or other credit related products sold in connection with the RAL. Failure to calculate these charges may make the actual interest rate,
as opposed to the interest rate listed in the contract, exceed the legal limit. As a practical matter, all or virtually all RALs exceed 36 percent. Contrary to what some clients are told, the MLA does not prohibit the sale of RALs to service members and their families; it merely prohibits RALs with an interest rate over 36 percent. Before offering a RAL, the tax preparer is required to obtain a written statement from the borrower indicating whether the borrower is a service member, a dependent of a service member or neither. Tax preparers should not encourage clients to falsify this statement, as the making of a false credit application is a crime. The base tax center can prepare your tax return and electronically file it for free. Depending on when in the IRS cycle you e-file, you will get your refund direct deposited to your account within seven to14 calendar days. If your need for immediate cash is so acute you feel compelled to pay tax preparation fees and RAL fees to get immediate cash, then your finances are in serious disarray, and you should seek counseling from the Marine Corps Community Services Command Financial Counselor or legal assistance officer, or both. Some tax preparers sell a variant of the RAL. Instead of making a loan equal to the amount of your expected refund, they make a loan in the amount of the tax return preparation fee. Under
these plans, payment of the tax return preparation fee is deferred until you get your refund from the IRS. You pay an extra fee for the privilege of delaying payment of the preparer’s bill. This delay feature is essentially another highinterest, short-term loan, and another bad deal for the consumer. Any RAL with an effective interest rate in excess of an annual percentage rate of 36, made to a service member or dependent, is void, as if no contract ever existed. You should report such an illegal practice to your command and to the legal assistance office, and ask the lender for a refund of the illegally charged interest. Any lender who is aware of the regulation, but nonetheless offers RALs violating it commits a Federal criminal offense, punishable by a fine and up to a year in prison. Your legal assistance officer can help you understand the law, evaluate your individual case and explain your options. Additionally, the legal assistance officer can help report predatory practices to your fellow Marines, as well as to military and civilian authorities. Military sanctions, particularly for egregious or repetitive bad practices, include a warning, debarment from the installation, designation as off limits, and exclusion from military contracts. Civilian enforcement options include investigation or suit by the attorney general, removal of any state licenses and even criminal prosecution.
In your opinion, do the d debates play durin election a significant role during season? I think it really does play a very important role. Many Americans do not take the time to research each candidate on their own. The debates are their first real look at either side. The debates are their first impressions. Amber Johnson
I think for a lot of people they do. Some folks have their reasons for deciding in advance, while others don’t have as much information, they rely on the debates to learn more. For me personally, it gives me a chance to get a sense of whether or not a candidate is an honest person or whether I feel he is skating through. I do wish they would adhere to more standard debate ‘rules’ or practices, rather than opening it up. I think it just makes matters worse and promotes a sense of divisiveness rather than a mutually respectful tone. Anita Brown
It is very important. More people seem to tune in to the political process at that point of the election. Although when it comes down to it, its only really picking the lesser of two evils. Michel Bacon Santos
Absolutely. We get to see them for an hour and a half uncut and unedited, not just 30-second commercials or from airing negative ads. Vickie Babin Davis

Benefits, payments available for veteran beneficiaries Dependency and Indemnity Compensation are payments and benefits for beneficiaries of a veteran who dies of a service-related death. An example would be a veteran who had chronic high blood pressure while on active duty and died of a heart attack. If the active-duty health record confirmed high blood pressure, the Veteran Affairs office could determine it to be a service-related death. A DIC surviving spouse recipient receives $1,195 per month tax free with an additional $254 if the member was 100 percent disabled for eight years or more. Children 18 to 26 years old may be eligible for an additional $296 each month. In addition, a $2,000 funeral reimbursement is also available. DIC also provides educational benefits. For surviving spouses and children who desire to attend college, they are eligible for $925 each month for up to 45 months. A surviving DIC spouse can also claim a 10-point preference
on a civil service application for employment rights. In North Carolina, a 100 percent totally and permanently disabled veteran can deduct $45,000 from their home’s tax assessed value. A surviving DIC widow can also claim the $45,000 disabled veteran property tax exclusion. There are additional benefits available depending on what state the veteran lived in. Those interested may view veteran benefits for each state at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Retired Activities Office website at http://www.marines.mil/unit/ mcieast/rao. The necessary documents needed for filing a Dependent Indemnity Compensation claim are a discharge certificate, a death certificate with either the cause of death or one of the contributing factors being service-related, a completed VA Form 21- 534 DIC application, and any supporting documentation.
The VA recognizes a list of illnesses presumed to be the direct result of Agent Orange from service in Vietnam and some illnesses as a result of exposure in Iraq and Afghanistan. For further information on the DIC or a list of the presumed illnesses contact the VA or a Veteran Service Organization. Often retirees are asked to produce their discharge certificate for employment or veteran benefits. Every retiree should have their discharge certificate available, and if they don’t, they can order a copy. Those who live near Camp Lejeune can visit the RAO in room 142 of building 60, and the RAO office can place the order on their behalf. Those living outside the area can visit their local county Veteran Affairs office to have one ordered. On line orders are available, but a signature is still required by the Records Center.
Retired Military Breakfast Located at the Ball Center (Old Staff NCO Club) Oct. 27 Social hour will begin at 7 a.m., with breakfast at 8 a.m. All retirees, active duty, reserve, veterans and community friends are invited to attend the breakfast. Guest speaker: Brig. Gen. John K. Love, deputy commanding general, II Marine Expeditionary Force and commanding general 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade For more information, contact Retired Sgt. Maj. George F. Meyer at 938-1610.
Absolutely. I don’t pay attention to any of the hyped up campaigning, but I do watch at least some of the debates.
Teresa Tracy L. Keebler
It plays a somewhat limited role. It does allow the candidates to ‘blow their own horns.’ Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your perspective, it does allow voters the chance to see their foibles immaturity. The recent debates between both the presidential and vice presidential candidates did not bode well for either candidate. It also looks badly on both for refusing to allow the third party candidate to participate in the debates.

Desert training 'worth every drop of sweat' 1ST LT. NICOLE YUHAS 2nd Marine Logistics Group
For the Marines and sailors of Combat Logistics Regiment 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group the most welcomed change this fall was returning to their families and friends in eastern North Carolina after spending all September in the desert of Twentynine Palms, Calif., for training. The regiment had the opportunity to participate in the final Enhanced Mojave Viper exercise held aboard Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms in preparation for their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan early next year. For four years, EMV served as the Corps’ all-encompassing predeployment training exercise, providing units with the most realistic training available, to ensure a unit was prepared and ready to deploy in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Ordinarily, EMV is the final, culminating exercise a unit will conduct before deploying however, this was not the case for CLR-2. Two weeks after officially standing-up as the group’s next forward element to deploy in support of OEF, CLR-2 was already setting up camp aboard MCAGCC Twentynine Palms, acclimating to the new environment and gearing up for 35 days of continuous training. “After a few days of classes, we adjusted quickly to our new environment and new work schedule,� said Maj. Shawn Tyson, Transportation Support Company commander EMV was the first major exercise for the newly reorganized regiment, one in which all four companies were able to participate. Yet, the regiment did not use this as a crutch, and rather continued to perform beyond expectations. The troops of TS Company were among the busiest in the regiment, working around the

TS Company focused on refining a gamut of tactics, techniques and procedures through various training lanes, live-fire ranges and mounted patrols. “The first phase of our training had our motor transport platoons refining motorized operations with an emphasis on gunnery skills for vehicle mounted weapons, command and control of fires, spotting and reacting to possible IED finds, reacting to IED strikes, and vehicle recovery,� explained Tyson.
“The next couple of events increase in complexity, to include live-fire training to ambushes, air evacuation of casualties, key leader engagements with role players, and even firing live rockets,â€? he continued. These evolutions not only tested the capabilities of the troops but those of the vehicles and other pieces of heavy equipment utilized. The companies were able to complete the majority of their predeployment training requirements while simultaneously honing the individual military occupational specialty skill sets of their troops. “Each of the platoons and sections ‌ are training to improve their required skill sets in preparation for deployment,â€? said Capt. Luke Sauber, Headquarters and Services Company commander.
Sauber continued describing the challenging scenarios the intelligence section analyzed, the proficiency of the operations section in managing the actions of the entire regiment, the detailed network of radio and data services that communications platoon managed, the successful helicopter support team exercises and aerial delivery drops landing support platoon conducted, and the multiple functions of the logistics sections. “The Marines of the (logistics section) are among the busiest. They established a field armory, coordinated the daily feed plan for the regiment, managed the ammunition holding area for thousands of rounds, and coordinated dozens of movements of personnel and equipment,� explained Sauber. The regiment was also tasked with providing logistical support
to the other ground units participating in EMV. This ranged from conducting resupply convoys to providing thousands of gallons of fuel via the fuel farm in order to maintain the continuous flow of daily operations. “Bulk fuel platoon continuously stayed busy supporting 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance and 2nd Tank Battalion with fuel resupply and issued over 12,000 gallons over a four and a half week period,� explained Capt. Brian Cooley, Engineer Company commander. Overall, this month-long training exercise pulled Marines and sailors out of their comfort zones. It tested them physically, mentally and emotionally. The troops were constantly working to overcome the challenges of the desert environment, fatigue from ongoing operations and periods of sleep deprivation, and missing loved ones. The consensus, however – it was worth every drop of sweat. “We have come together into a cohesive team under the strain of harsh weather conditions, very long days, and a relentless training schedule that tested our resiliency down to the last individual,� said Lt. Col. Chris Hrudka, CLR-2 deputy commander. “The Marines and sailors did a tremendous job at taking care of each other and maximizing the training value.� EMV was a very large milestone providing ample feedback on what areas still need improvement. Subsequently, CLR-2 recognizes the need to maintain a heightened training pace to ensure it is fully prepared before deploying next year. “The next few months will focus on remediating from lessons learned, increasing our combat mindset, and refining our technical and tactical skills. Ultimately, we will be ready and prepared for a successful deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom,� concluded Tyson.

Time-honored tradition carries on in Sangin CPL. TIMOTHY LENZO Regional Command Southwest

t is a military tradition carried out on U.S. bases throughout the world. The raising and lowering of the American flag is not just another duty for Marines, especially while deployed. In fact, morning and evening colors are so meaningful any military members outside stop what they are doing, face the flag, snap to attention and salute. Service members who are driving pull their cars over for the duration of the ceremony, until the color guard calls carry on, announcing
it’s completion. “I am honored to be part of the flag detail,” said Lance Cpl. Henry Cervantes, an administrative clerk with 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 6. “Not everyone gets the chance to do it. It’s a timehonored tradition, so I don’t take it lightly.” Cervantes works with Lance Cpl. Lamarr Johnson, another administrative specialist with the battalion, and the other part of their two-man flag detail. “Morning and evening colors is more than tradition,” said Johnson. “For me it’s about those who gave everything for their country.”
A part of Johnson’s daily responsibilities include the morning and evening color guard. Twice a day he marches out to the flagpole and calls “colors” to signify the start of the ceremony. “I didn’t always understand the importance of the ceremony,” said Johnson. “Now that I’ve been on the flag detail, and learned the proper way to fold the flag, and be on time to raise and lower the flag, I take more pride in it.” Johnson learned the commands and actions quickly once he was assigned to the detail. Both of the Marines agreed the raising of the flag represents more than pieces of fabric sewn
together. They said it is about their brothers in arms who lost their lives defending their country. “Now that I’m a Marine, I have a better understanding,” said Cervantes. “I think it’s because the people who lost their lives aren’t just strangers. They are my family.” The sense of family is why Cervantes and Johnson take their job so seriously. The color guard will raise the American flag and the Afghan flag over the base each morning to symbolize the two nations’ partnership. These two Marines continue to add to the time-honored tradition and history of our nation’s colors.

Marines from 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment set up positions along a gridded area where simulated enemy troops and vehicles will try to escape as part of their training recently. The purpose of the training was to give the Marines a chance to work with their counterparts and learn defensive basics such as setting booby traps, digging fighting holes and how to prepare for enemy contact. “This training is beneficial for the Marines, not only because they get a chance to perform defensive fundamentals, but also because it’s a great chance for them to work with their counterparts,” Capt. Juan Plascencia, the commanding officer, said. “We even have Marines coming from different ќџѡѕȱ юџќљіћюȱ ўѢюџіѢњȱюѡȱ іћђȱ ћќљљȱ ѕќџђѠ

units like (2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment) to simulate the enemy and probe our defensive lines.” The scenario for the Marines was set in the country of Sierra and the Marine Expeditionary Brigade was sent in to the country of LAT to clear out enemy personnel and the blocking was to prevent any of them from escaping. “It’s good training for the junior and the senior Marines since we don’t get many opportunities to train with the different units,” said Lance Cpl. Christian Ponte, a team leader with first platoon. “We got to experience what is was like splashing on the beach with (2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion) as well as working with (2nd Tank Battalion) to set up a defensive line.” For Marines like Lance Cpl. Alex Schaab, a squad leader, it was a chance for him to come over from his typical job as a machine gunner and teach some of the junior Marines. “It’s a different perspective for me to come over here and work with different Marines, and to get the chance to work with all the units is pretty awesome,” said Schaab. “We even did a helo insert. The only time I have ever done one of those was at (Mojave Viper), and it’s a rare opportunity for a lot of Marines that I’m glad I got to take part in.”

Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, met with senior officials on Camp Leatherneck to discuss the security environment in southern Afghanistan recently. The chairman discussed the state of the Afghan Army with Maj. Gen. Sayed Malouk, the commanding general of the Afghan National Army 215th Corps. Dempsey praised the 215th Corps on their courage and ability to conduct independent and joint operations against the enemies of Afghanistan in a successful manner. "The enemy cannot retake any district here," Malouk said. "I do not have any concerns about the current security situation. We have challenges, like all nations, and we have to face them."

Growing up, Cpl. Micah Howard knew he wanted to do something to serve his country. Howard, a squad leader with 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, enlisted in the Marine Corps at the age of 20. Five and half years later, he is serving on his second combat deployment with 3rd Bn., 8th Marines. Howard decided to join the Marine Corps in an effort to better his life while also serving his country. “I just wanted a piece of the action. I wanted to do something more for myself, rather than just stay in the United States. Basically I wanted to give back to the country what it gave to me in terms of the freedoms I have,” said Howard. Howard also credited his drive to join the Marine Corps and to become an infantryman to his godfather who is a retired Marine. “My godfather was a Marine, and he told me stories about what he did. I always had this image in my head that Marines were the biggest and the best,” Howard said. “They were gun fighters. If the U.S. needed something done, they’d send the Marines in first. I didn’t want to sit behind a desk or anything like that, I wanted to be in the action with whatever the Marine Corps got involved in it’s why I became a grunt.” Howard noted the differences between his last and current deployments. “Every day last deployment it was constant attacks. You couldn’t go 50 meters outside the compound we were staying in without getting ambushed,” Howard said. “This deployment is more of a pull out effort. It’s different from the last one because last deployment was more offensive with the U.S. leading the fight. This deployment we’re handing it over to the Afghan National Security Forces. Basically this deployment is just training ANSF to make sure they’re ready to assume control of their country.” Howard already re-enlisted and plans on making a full career out of the Marine Corps as long as there’s a fight to be in. “There’s always going to be bad guys who want to take away the freedoms we have. There’s always going to be a fight out there, but if it dies down enough and there’s no real purpose for my job, then I’ll get out and pursue advertising or something in the creative field,” Howard said. “So if I stay in for 20 years, I just hope to keep on gun fighting.” Howard noted the stress involved with this deployment, but said the Afghan National Army started to operate more independently. “We have our work cut out for us,” Howard said. “We’re constantly going out with the ANA. We basically just shadow them to make sure they’re ready to take over. We just wait for the ANA to find something or to request our help, and we’ll go out there and get the job done.” Howard is thankful for the opportunities he received during his time as a Marine. “I’m definitely glad I got to get the experience in Afghanistan before it’s all said and done,” Howard said. “I basically got the full package. I did everything a Marine does. I went on ship got to see all the different parts of the world, and I went into a combat zone living like a Marine in austere conditions.” As a squad leader, Howard looks after the well being of his Marines. He also mentors them ensuring they receive the knowledge needed to accomplish their mission. “I would consider Cpl. Howard as a mentor when I first joined the Marine Corps,” said Lance Cpl. Gavin Peguero, machine gunner, 3rd Bn., 8th Marines. “Cpl. Howard was in the same (Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team Company) as me. It was mere coincidence when I checked into (3rd Bn., 8th Marines) and Howard was my team leader. Not only did he help me transition into the fleet, but he also made me a better person as well as Marine.”
Marines get promoted while deployed at sea CAPT. ROBERT SHUFORD

O
n the first of each month the Marine Corps authorizes a certain number of promotions for different ranks and job fields. For Marines deployed with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit being deployed at sea doesn’t keep them from moving up to the next rank.
Oct. 1, a number of promotions took place aboard the three ships of the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group – USS Iwo Jima, USS New York and USS Gunston Hall – the ships the 2,300 Marines of 24th MEU are embarked on. The 24th MEU and Iwo Jima ARG are currently deployed to U.S. Central Command in the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet area of responsibility where they are serving as a theater
reserve and crisis response force capable of supporting a variety of missions from combat to humanitarian assistance. Since deploying in March, the 24th MEU participated in a number of theater security cooperation events and training exercises, which included African Lion 12 in Morocco, the largest training exercise in U.S. Africa Command, and Eager Lion 12 in Jordan, the largest exercise in CENTCOM.

STAND FROM 1A designed to clear the city and the surrounding green zones, the Marines began to see changes. “For the first time, I think ever, we have a very good security situation here,” said Coombs. In addition to the increased security, the local bazaar increased by more than 500 new shops. “When we got here there were 1,000 stalls and now there are over 1,500 stalls,” said Bradney, “It shows that people are willing to invest, and there are enough people to support the additional stalls.” The people of Sangin also saw great strides in their local government. Earlier this year, 1st Bn., 7th Marines, witnessed the first election of a district security council. Bradney said the council works with the governor and relays the needs and wants of the Afghan people. Now 1st Bn., 7th Marines pass the torch to 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment. The new battalion will continue strengthening the ANSF and supporting the Sangin Government. The Marines with 1st Bn., 7th Marines will return home after months of giving everything they had to the people of Afghanistan. They needed to come and do things the right way, and they leave with their heads high and in the capable hands of 2nd Bn., 7th Marines.

Lejeune High School’s running back Jamaz Richardson runs the ball to the outside as fullback Stephen Dicenso looks for a defensive player to block against the Pamlico County High School Hurricanes during Lejeune High’s homecoming game aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Friday.
Lejeune High School makes homecoming game memorable one LANCE CPL. SCOTT W. WHITING Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Lejeune High School celebrated its homecoming football game Friday in front of a sold-out crowd of fans itching to see their Devil Pups beat the Pamlico County High School Hurricanes. The spirited festivities began before the ball was even kicked off as bouncy houses, sumo suits and food filled the area around the field for adults and children to take part in during the evening. The Devil Pups started the game slowly after electing to kick during the coin toss. The Hurricanes marched down the field with a powerful rushing attack led by running back Jamal Coffee. NaQuan Gibbs, Pamlico’s quarterback, rushed in for a 10yard touchdown to
cap off the drive, followed by a successful two-point conversion. The first quarter featured hard-nosed defense by both teams, forcing rushed and incomplete passes, and short runs. Pamlico blocked a punt from the Devil Pups as the first quarter concluded with the Hurricanes leading by eight. After battling back and forth for most of the second quarter, Jamaz Richardson, running back for Lejeune, rushed into the end zone for a 38-yard touchdown, and the Devil Pups converted the two-point attempt to tie the game at eight. After Pamlico botched a punt and fumbled the ball, Lejeune scored another touchdown with a minute left in the half as quarterback Chad Collins found wide receiver Charles Murdock for a 17-yard score, propelling them to a 15-8 lead over the
Hurricanes at the half. At halftime, the homecoming court was presented to the crowd. Two males and two females represented each class, except for the senior class, which had three males and three females. After the homecoming court was exhibited, the narrator gave the audience some information about each one. Collins was crowned homecoming king and Nadine Gerard was crowned homecoming queen. After the halftime break, defense prevailed during the third quarter until Lejeune ran down the field in small bursts, fatiguing Pamlico’s defense slowly. Fullback Step Stephen DiCenso ran in for a three-yard
touchdown. After the extra point, Lejeune grew their lead to 22-8. The fourth quarter progressed similarly as Richardson scored twice on a 50-yard run and a 15-yard run. The final score of the game was 36-14 as Lejeune blew out the Pamlico Hurricanes with an excited full house of fans. Both teams were heavily penalized, which stalled many potentially successful drives. Holding calls were prevalent, and at one point, miscommunication caused the Devil Pups
to be flagged for only having 10 players on the field in back-toback plays. However, even with the sloppy play, Lejeune was able to keep their running game effective throughout the game and send the Devil Pup fans home happy. The Hurricanes had no answer for the Devil Pup’s rushing attack throughout the game. As a team, Lejeune ran for 370 yards on a whopping 50 attempts, while Jefferson ran for 260 of those himself on 27 attempts, giving him an impressive 9.6 yards per carry.

Anglers race to bait shops
Crowds are flocking to the local bait and tackle shops. This is always a sure way to know fishing is good. If you’re still in denial, I invite you to look at the masses gathered on the piers and along the shore. Fall fishing is upon us, friends. While fall fishing is enjoyable and fun, I find it necessary to remind local anglers about the regulations and bag limits applying to all the fish we see in our local waters. There are a few favored fish that do not have size of bag limits. Bottom feeders like spots, sea mullet, pompano, black drum and blowfish remain unregulated. While Bluefish do not have a minimum size, a creel limit of 15 fish per person, per day, remains in effect. Spanish mackerel will still be swimming along the Crystal Coast for a while, but anglers must be sure to measure properly. Spanish mackerel must have a minimum forklength of 12 inches. A 15-catch limit is still in effect. King mackerel have a
minimum forklength of 24 inches. Anglers are limited to three king mackerel per day, and while the bite is as strong as we’ve seen it all year, the limit will remain in effect until further notice. Minimum size for speckled trout is currently 14 inches. A bag limit of four fish is still in effect for all of the Crystal Coast. Smaller, gray trout, which are abundant in our waters, must be at least 12 inches. Anglers should note the low bag rule, and should only bag one gray trout per day. Recently, I heard about some anglers who were caught for going over the gray trout limit. Don’t get caught red–handed. The trout will still be there tomorrow. Another fish to make sure you are not over-bagging is our state fish, the red drum. The limit here is one fish per day. Red drum must have a slot limit of 18 to 27 inches. This fall, there are lots of short drum around, and a fair number above the slot, so measure well. Measure twice, fillet once or you may pay the price. Now that we’ve discussed local regulations, let’s talk about fishing. With baits running the shoreline daily, the usual predators are never far behind. Spanish mackerel, bluefish, flounder and drum were seen in the surf this week. While there are still many short
drum most are caught on mullet baits. Along the surf the pompano bite is as good as it has been in years, and there are many fish over one pound. Some are even in the two to three–pound range. Good locations include both Ft. Macon rock jetties. Just off the beach and around the inlets from Brown’s to Bogue to Beaufort to Barden’s, there is a mess of gray trout, many 14 to 16inches and longer. The king mackerel bite is still on fire all along the beach. They are also thick from Beaufort Inlet out to Northwest Places and there are many in the 20 to 40-pound range. I also heard of a 24-pound false albacore taken on a king rig with a live menhaden. It didn’t get that big just sucking down silversides. Speckled trout fishing is still going well. Marshes like the Haystacks, Emerald Isle Bridge, Trout Creek, behind Bear Island and over to New River are showing catches of speckled trout. Drum and flounder can also be found in these locations. Another good location is Core Creek, where a flounder weighing more than five pounds was landed recently. With the recent new moon, the Core Creek marshes are hot for tailing red drum. Flounder are landed from the ocean fishing piers and nearshore reefs as well. Several five to six–pound flounder were caught along the Morehead City port wall last week. In the surf, I’m still finding scattered short
flounder, but heard of a few keepers in the 16 to 17–inch range. The big news continues to be the king mackerel bite on the piers. Oceanana Pier reports Spanish, bluefish, flounder and speckled trout. Bogue Pier also had a trout or two. The spots are best at night, but there are also some excellent daytime catches. Some pompano and flounder, mostly shorts, can still be reeled in using finger mullet. Occasional gray or speckled trout, bluefish and Spanish mackerel were also sighted. Seaview Pier reports two king mackerel last week, spots, Spanish mackerel, bluefish and mullet. Surf City Pier reports kings all over the place decking three or four per day, all of which were in the 20 to 35–pound range. They also report small pups, a few trout, Spanish mackerel and bluefish. Jolly Roger pier caught big kings for the last two weeks. The rest of their reported catches were widespread. Finally, the wahoo bite is still good, but they are not as concentrated as they were a few weeks ago. The bite is excellent and scattered from the Swansboro Hole to the Big Rock and inshore to the 90-Foot Drop. There are also blackfin tuna in the mix lately. 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.
Runners trample cancer, race to brace burden JESSIE HEATH
When we heard about the families, the decision was easy. We looked at our own kids and thought, ‘What if this was us?’
Sports editor
Every parent’s worst nightmare can be summed up in two words – pediatric cancer. With more than 10,000 children diagnosed every year, pediatric cancer is a silent but deadly force, sweeping into families like an unwelcome house guest who will haunt them for the rest of their lives. While large research hospitals often provide special wings for children affected by pediatric cancer, and nonprofit organizations spring into action to assist parents of ill children, insurance only goes so far before costs start to pile up. Even more challenging than the cost of treatments, though, is the emotional toll pediatric cancer takes on families. After spending nights in unfamiliar settings with strangers swarming around them, children often want nothing more than to be held and loved for by parents who are no longer allowed to touch them for fear of introducing germs to weakened immune systems. In the darkest of times,
Stephanie Geraghty, Stroller Warriors’ founder
families of children inflicted with pediatric cancer turn to their friends and loved ones in their quest for comfort and reassurance. Sometimes they even find comfort in the compassion of total strangers. Recently, members of the Stroller Warriors Running Club, a Jacksonville– based organization, came together to show their unconditional support for two families currently staring down the face of pediatric cancer. When Stroller Warriors’ founder Stephanie Geraghty, a military spouse aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, heard about the plight of two families starting the fight against pediatric cancer, she knew it was time to spring into action. “Two of the ladies in our club knew of families who were in need, and they both brought it to the club’s attention.
We started looking into methods to help them,” said Geraghty. “When we heard about the families, the decision was easy. We looked at our own kids and thought, ‘What if this was us?’” After learning about the needs of the Larson family, whose daughter Lauren was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma earlier in 2012, and the Harrington family, a local military family whose son Austin has pediatric leukemia, the Stroller Warriors sprung into action. “We’ve been working on a couch to 5K training cycle. We had a graduation race coming up for the ladies who completed it,” explained Geraghty. “We decided it would be nice to make the run a race for the (Larsons) and Harringtons.” After speaking with both families, who were humbled and surprised by the willingness of strangers to offer to raise funds
and support on their behalf, the Stroller Warriors decided to center their race on the theme “Follow the Yellow Brick Road.” “Lauren was the inspiration for our theme and it seemed to fitting,” said Geraghty. While the Larson family was too far away to attend the event, the Harrington family was able to visit and take part in the 5K challenge with the club members. Approximately 90 participants registered to complete an un-timed 5K, 10K or 20-mile run, and while personal victories were something to be celebrated as they crossed the finish line, the more important victory was the knowledge the funds raised from their efforts would be used to help the Harrington’s and Larson’s reach their finish line. “Running in and of SEE RUN 7B

The sound of winding bicycle gears approached as the treetops shadowed a meandering trail with sunlight beaming through, and cheerful voices of excited children grew thicker. This was Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s first Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day event hosted by The National Mountain Biking Association, at the Henderson recreation area Oct. 6. The emphasis behind the event was to get military families out and actively involved in mountain biking.
“Mountain biking can be taken wherever the Marine Corps sends you,” said Jeff LeBlanc, a mountain biking coordinator with Down East Cyclists. “This is about introducing kids to the joys of mountain biking.” The event provided group rides for all ages, obstacles to simulate trails, and taught children how to stick together while riding. The tired and famished participants indulged in pizza as the day’s activities wound down. The event was sponsored by Marine Corps Community Services, as well as a local bike shop in Jacksonville, who donated a bicycle to one lucky boy and girl at the
closing of the group ride. Shawn Kane, a manager of a local bike shop, said it was great seeing the kids smile. His downtown bike gallery focuses on the importance of promoting a healthy lifestyle, and they said they were thrilled to be able to donate two bikes to the event in hopes the kids will continue their riding adventures. Kayona Kent, who attended the event with her uncle, was the winner of the girl’s bike. “I was excited to win the mountain bike,” said Kent. “This is my first time biking, now I want to do it more.” The boy’s bike winner was 2-year-old Ayden Evans, brought out by his

Miles to Afghanistan promotes unity JESSIE HEATH Sports editor
If the average person walked a 17–minute mile and didn’t stop, it would take 85 days to reach Afghanistan. While walking nonstop for 85 days would be an impossible task, family members and friends of 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division found a way to log enough miles to carry them to Afghanistan and back again. In fact, as soon as they walked home, they turned around to do it a second time. “The Miles to Afghanistan program was first mentioned in volunteer meeting before (6th Marine Regiment) deployed in 2011,” said Mona Sims, who offered to lead the program. “I firmly believe in using health and fitness as a tool to survive, especially during deployments, so I offered to head it up.” After talking to other spouses in the unit and receiving positive support from more than 50 interested families, the family members and friends started Miles to Afghanistan the first Friday of January, kickstarting the new year with a new plan. “We figured it was the best time to start,” Sims stated. “The men left less than a month earlier and it was the new year, so it seemed like a great way to start deployment and keep all the new year’s resolutions people make.” The Miles to Afghanistan program is unique in that participants were not limited to walking or jogging. Miles could be recorded for everything from gardening and painting, to cross country skiing, boxing or running. Regardless of what kind of activity families enjoyed

To date, the family members of RCT–6 walked 27,110 miles in 10 months. participating in, it could be measured and added to the Miles to Afghanistan program, as long as families were moving. As soon as the program started, groups of families began walking and running together. Family members who didn’t live in the area got involved and started tracking their miles. Yoga, Zumba and Triathletes began to keep track of their time and distance. Every week, Sims received e–mails sharing personal victories and triumphs as family members trekked toward their goal. “We set a goal of 14,400, which was the round–trip distance from Camp Lejeune to Afghanistan,” explained
Sims. “I thought it would be great if we could get there and come home once. To date, we’ve walked 27,110 miles and still have a few weeks to log the last 1,700 we need to get home a second time.” For Sally Shafer, the Miles to Afghanistan program was a way to thrive during deployment. The military spouse set a goal to walk 100 miles, but quickly realized how much more she was capable of. “At first, I wanted to hit 100 miles,” said Shafer. “When I actually did it, I was so proud of myself. At that point, walking 500 miles became a big goal for me. If it weren’t for the
program and the reason I’m walking, moving around and staying active wouldn’t be nearly as motivational. “Mona was a huge motivation to all of us because she sets the bar so high,” Shafer added. “She logs our miles and keeps track of us, and helps us stay moving. She’s active, but she’s not a superstar, so we feel comfortable talking to her about our goals.” “I don’t ask people to do something I’m not willing to do myself,” explained Sims modestly. “I just felt like it was the right thing to do when I heard about the program. Everyone has a different goal. I’m just keeping
track of all our miles.” While their own homecomings are quickly approaching, Sims and Shafer don’t want to see Miles to Afghanistan disappear after 6th Marine Regiment returns. While not every fitness goal has to be centered around running in the Miles to Afghanistan program, Sims also said there has to be a balance between whatever activity participants decide to do and the rest of their life. More than anything, the source of encouragement from the members of the Miles to Afghanistan program made an impact on the lives of those involved. Sims and Shafer do not see the relationships built
fading any time in the future. “I would love to see this become a common thing every unit put into place for deployments,” Sims admitted. “It’s pretty easy to set up and not hard to keep track of. From the walker side, I can say the hardest thing about it is starting. “From the management side of the program, it’s so easy,” Sims added. “Whoever offers to lead the program will get so much more out of it than they put into it. E–mailing with families in the area and abroad became something I look forward to. It’s helped me connect with other spouses and family members.”

Combined Federal Campaign draws Marines, family members, civilians LANCE CPL. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Throughout history Marines are recognized as some of the most fierce war fighters ever known. Parallel to this is their ability to be kind and compassionate. There is no better friend; no worse enemy. Marines gathered at the Goettge Memorial Field House parking lot for the Headquarters and Support Battalion physical training session to support the Combined Federal Campaign aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Oct. 3. Marines, families and civilian employees participated in the annual five-kilometer race. The battalion, as well as other units, participated by running in formation as part of the unit’s monthly physical training event to raise awareness
about the campaign among the Marines. Those who donated $10 toward the cause were able to compete against other racers and received shirts for bolstering the day’s contributions. The CFC Onslow County’s goal is to reach $1 million during the campaign season, which started Sept. 1 and last through Dec. 15. “They give every day in the jobs they do, and for them to give to the CFC is amazing,� said Alicia Hill, the executive director of the CFC Onslow County. “It warms your heart to know these young service members are our future.� More than 200 CFC campaigns throughout the country and internationally help raise millions of dollars each year. There are hundreds of organizations one can choose to donate to. “It’s important to donate to these charities because these charities effect us or

Michael Rowan, the sergeant major of HQSPTBn., lead their Marines on a run during the annual battalion’s physical training session to support the Combined Federal Campaign at the Goettge Memorial Field House parking lot aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Oct. 3. RUN FROM 2B itself is a challenge,� admitted Geraghty. “But, I think when you run for others, it becomes a more uplifting experience. I felt like I had wings. It’s been a long time since I felt so good running.� In addition to running their graduation races, participants also had the opportunity to encourage their benefactors in other ways. With cards set up for children to make, and gifts and donations being accepted for the families, the Stroller Warriors made sure there was something for everyone to do. However, like all events, there were challenges to overcome. Explaining illness to children is never easy, but in a club centered around helping parents come together and exercise with their children, it had to be done. “It’s hard to explain cancer to kids, but the kids there knew there were other kids who were sick and needed to be cheered up, so they were stepped right up to make cards and do anything else they could,� said Geraghty. Unlike cancers commonly found in adults, pediatric cancers are difficult to treat, require stronger medications and a much harsher on small, still-growing bodies. Pediatric cancer often leads to secondary cancers of the blood and soft tissues, and children and teenagers
who endure the pain of beating pediatric cancer will be dependent on precautionary scans for the rest of their lives to make sure cancer does not return. “Sometimes I feel like pediatric cancer gets overlooked in society concerned with breast cancer and other types,� Geraghty admitted. “It’s certainly nothing to laugh at, and we want to support adults as well, but we felt like this was the right thing to do at this time. We needed to help these kids however we could, and bring pediatrics to the forefront for once.� Through the combination of runners and monetary donations, Stroller Warriors Running Club raised approximately $1,000, which was divided evenly between the Harrington and Larson families. Each family was also given a stack of cards decorated by the children and adults at the event, as well as things to help keep children occupied during long car rides, hospital trips and treatment days. “These families experienced some immense heartache recently,� said Geraghty. “We wanted to give something back to them. They’re already doing so much, and as a club, we wanted them to know we were behind them and would help them in whatever way we could. They are such dynamic people and it was humbling to be able to help them.�

Bardorf said their actions speak to the character of the young men and women who are serving our Marine Corps today. “It’s a sense of volunteerism, a sense of being a part of something bigger than you,� explained Bardorf. “The very type of person who raises his right hand and volunteers to serve our nation during a time of war is the exact type of person who’s going to reach in their pocket, even if all they can offer is a dollar or two a month, to help those in need.�

A young girl recognizes a name on the Beirut Memorial wall and reaches out to touch it during the commemoration of the 24th annual Beirut Memorial Observance Ceremony, held at the Beirut Memorial, Jacksonville, N.C., Oct. 23, 2010. It is a tradition to pay service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice respects by touching their names and vowing never to forget.

hen the Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, was struck by terrorists Oct. 23, 1983, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and the Jacksonville community suffered severe losses. The community has not forgotten. After 29 years the area continues to honor the memories of those lost in the attack through
the upcoming Beirut Memorial Observance Ceremony, an annual event where the military and civilian communities, and the families of those lost gather to remember. The ceremony is open to the public and scheduled for Oct. 23 at 10:30 a.m. at the Beirut Memorial site in the Camp Lejeune Memorial Garden. “This is near and dear to everybody’s heart,” said Fernando Shiefelbein, operations specialist with Marine Corps Installations East-MCB Camp Lejeune. “It brings everyone together, and it brings healing and closure to the tragedy.”
The 2nd Marine Division Band is slated to perform in the ceremony and the leaders of MCB Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River and 1st Battalion, 8th Marines will be speaking. “The ceremony is very touching,” said Schiefelbein. “It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve seen it. It brings back memories.” Three wreaths will be set down by special guests during the event. The wreaths represent the connections between the base and city, the lives of the service members lost in Beirut, and the lives of service members lost in
training accidents accidents. After the bombing the city and the base supported each other. The community planted trees and built monuments. “The city immediately took action to commemorate those Marines,” said Schiefelbein. “We’re still combating terrorist attacks, the service men’s names on the wall aren’t just numbers. This ceremony puts a face to it. They are our sons and daughters out there. There are people grieving for all of the men lost that day.” The ceremony is one of three taking place to commemorate the occasion. Families are scheduled
to hold a private candlelight vigil at the site at 6 a.m. and the Marine Corps League is slated to hold a public wreath laying at the Beirut marker aboard Camp Geiger at 2 p.m. “I encourage everybody to attend,” said Schiefelbein. “Nothing is held back, and it has the full support of the city and the base. We always put our best foot forward.” In case of inclement weather the ceremony will be held in the Trinity United Methodist Church. Uniform for Marine attendees will be service “A” with barracks cover.

Marines from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune conduct a live-fire scenario exercise during the Infantry Small Unit Leader Course recently. The six-week course comprised of 17 sergeants from different units.
ISULC sharpens minds of leading sergeants LANCE CPL. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Whether attacking, defending or patrolling, Marines are continually challenged by dynamically diverse and forever changing scenarios they face in combat. War is a game of chess, and the deciding factors that lead to a successful mission start from lowest level of leadership. Small-unit leaders make the split-second choices, which ultimately affect the larger goal. Marines from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune learned to improve their decision-making skills during the Infantry Small Unit Leader Course. “We're here to teach them how to think, not what to think,” said Staff Sgt. Jeremy Puckett, the chief instructor of the Infantry Small Unit Leader Course with MCB Camp Lejeune. “These Marines are decision makers at the small (unit) level. They make decisions at the tactical level; it's not at the operational or strategic level, but those decisions are effected from the tactical level.” The six-week course was comprised of 17 sergeants
from different units. This new course was designed to improve the proficiency of the infantry sergeants serving as squad and section leaders. ISULC guides the Marines toward the development of their critical-thinking skills, challenges their ability to problem solve and supports cognitive development. During the course the students review case studies, experienced by the Marines in real scenarios from the past, learning from history to improve the future. The course also includes tactical decision games, sand-table exercises, field training and live-fire exercises. Instructors present students with a variety of missions for tactical decision games and challenge them by presenting them new problems to change the scenario. The students don't know what to expect, so their mindset is to prepare themselves for anything and everything. “In a training environment we have to paint an enemy situation as best we can,” said Puckett. “The enemy is smart, but we're teaching these sergeants to be smarter by SEE ISULC 3C
In celebration of the nation’s diversity, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune coordinated its annual Cultural Heritage Day event to be hosted at Marston Pavilion here Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Open to all military and civilian personnel, the event provides attendees an opportunity to learn about the history and origin of various cultures and ethnicities. A wide variety of food will feature a taste of flavors from around the world. Cultural display booths will also offer an assortment of items such as jewelry, garments and souvenirs available for purchase. “The Marine Corps is a cross section of the United States, and this country is a vibrant mixture of culture and history,” said Gunnery Sgt. Harsheen T. Eady, the equal opportunity advisor for Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and Marine Corps Installations East-MCB Camp Lejeune. “To ignore an individual's culture is to ignore their contributions as a whole. The best way to recognize is to educate, and it’s what a cultural event is all about.” Fall’s cold temperatures will wane once inside the event building. Lively entertainment, such as native Hawaiian dance performances brought an exciting and tropical installment to the chilly season last year. “I expect all who are in attendance for the Multi Cultural Heritage event to gain an experience unique to any other they knew before,” said Gunnery Sgt. Dwrena K Allen, the incoming EOA for MCI EastMCB Camp Lejeune. “I hope they are able to learn more than they did before about another culture, and apply the knowledge in their daily lives. As long as we are building awareness and teaching one another, we embrace the commandant’s vision to ‘leverage all of our individual differences to achieve SEE CULTURAL 2C

“These sergeants are veterans,� said Puckett. “They've made great decisions in different scenarios. There's always something you can learn from someone else.� The training was certainly not a walk in the park. The sergeants all had to overcome a course designed to stress their mental and physical capabilities. Even the most experienced Marines made mistakes, however, they all learned from them. “There may be many of us who are leaders, but there's always room for improvement,� said Avalo. “This course will definitely help the leading sergeants think on their feet and make great decisions. I'm lucky to be able to go through this course, and it has only made me a better leader.� The sergeants in the course didn't learn to shoot better or train to run faster.

FAIR FROM 2C each year. The Health Promotion and Wellness Department teaches numerous health related classes all year long to help prevent diseases and illnesses. During the event, hospital staff helped veterans migrate to 40 health-related booths including, Influenza vaccines, blood pressure checks, hearing tests, skin cancer screenings, cholesterol checks and oral screenings. Information on nutrition, diabetes, tobacco cessation and health benefits was also available for guests. Additional information booths were stocked with literature about the Blood Donor Center, TRICARE, heart health, Drug-Take-Back program, vehicle registration and legal advice. At total of 18 veteran and military retiree organizations were represented and information was available about the Army-Navy Retirement Home and the State veteran’s cemetery. More than 40 doctors, nurses, health benefits advisors, patient educators and corpsmen volunteered to provide health screenings, health education, and to act as guides, give directions, and in some cases escort or assist the attendees to areas where they could get free food, exams and much more. “It is extremely important for veterans and retirees to participate and fully support these types of events. The Naval Hospital goes out of their way to provide top-notch medical care to as many people as they can,� said retired Gunnery Sgt. Herbert Brisbain. Volunteers from the Naval Hospital staff participate in this event each year. Furthermore, the hospital commander reaches out to the veterans and retirees throughout the year and hosts quarterly health care town hall meetings, which are specifically designed for retirees, active-duty service members and family members to ask questions and express concerns about health care issues.

Retiree Appreciation Day recognizes sacrifice PFC. JOSHUA W. GRANT

Service members serve their country and are recognized for their heroism, but after they retire their service does not go unnoticed. The 17th annual Retiree Appreciation Day was held at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Sept. 30 featuring hundreds of retirees in attendance. Randy Reichler, the retired activities director with MCB Camp Lejeune, said the main goal of the fair was to recognize the retirees and their families, and show appreciation for their sacrifice. “We care about them, and we remember what they’ve done,” said Reichler. Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and North Carolinian Congressman Walter B. Jones were two of the guest speakers at the fair. “(You) enrich our lives in so many ways, and today is a small token of our sincere appreciation,” said Gorry during his speech. To recognize their sacrifice and the accomplishments made, the retiree
appreciation fair included booths from over 30 different organizations, and health care services including blood pressure tests, dental exams and free flu shots. The booths ranged from offering tips on eating healthy and recognizing signs of breast cancer to tobacco related health effects and information on COPD. Alex Nevgloski, a retired Marine Gunner, attended the appreciation fair and said the medical services offered were the most useful part of the fair. “There are not too many places you can go to get an eye exam, hearing or blood pressure checked for free,” said Nevgloski. “It’s awesome to get some of these old warriors out here for something they don’t normally get at home.” Tamara Martinez, a relocation specialist with Marine and Family Resources branch, was standing by her relocation and information referral booth ready to answer any question a retiree may have. Our program normally offers services to individuals moving from base to base but retirees are mostly helped by information referral, said Martinez.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Fire and Emergency Services Department received national accreditation through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International recently, and the department was presented with the award Oct. 1 from the commanding general of Marine Corps Installations East – MCB Camp Lejeune. Achieving national accreditation through the CFAI requires being reviewed for approximately four days from CFAI officials who judge the quality of work practiced by different agencies. Earning national accreditation is the benchmark of success many fire and emergency service departments are measured by. “This is a great team award,” said Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry. “I’m all about the team concept, and this is just a fantastic all-around achievement.” Gorry said he’s happy to have a group of hardworking individuals aboard the installation who strive for excellence. “Fire stations that receive accreditation need to be reviewed by the CFAI every year,” said Glenn Zurek, assistant fire chief of training and prevention for Camp Lejeune’s Fire and Emergency Services Department. “The stations must also go through the accreditation process every five years to make sure the safe and effective measures are still being taken. It’s taken us approximately five years to earn this honor, and I couldn’t be more proud of everyone in our department.” Gorry challenged the department to seek improvement, and not let awards and accolades stop them from doing their jobs to the fullest extent. “We always try to serve people,” said Gorry. “This is the pinnacle of hard work paying off. I know the (department) will still look for ways to become even more efficient.” CULTURAL FROM 1C Corps of Marines as we continue our service as America’s Expeditionary Force in Readiness.’” With its colorful sights and flavorful tastes, the day of festivities will acknowledge and honor the diverse ethnic and cultural heritage of the nation. “Cultural awareness and adaptability is important to our organization and society at large because it bridges the gap of uncertainty and dispels the stereotypes are often associated with various cultures and ethnic groups,” said Allen. “Understanding others, and their way of thinking and viewing the world fosters tolerance, unity and understanding. This awareness provides an opportunity for each of us to learn from one another and synergize our efforts towards accomplishing a common goal.” The command’s dedication to the event displays its support in promoting the unity of a globalizing world. “Our rich diversity is what makes the Corps strong,” concluded Eady.
“I had a gentleman ask me if I had information on a different facility he could move into,” said Martinez. “I had the resources for him to contact someone about finding a new place to live.” With all the help for retirees available, they could give back to the resource fair in a peculiar way. The Provosts Marshalls Office aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, in conjunction with the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, held a drug take back program during the fair. With a booth set up, PMO officers collected and recorded outdated or overprescribed medications the retirees no longer needed. “We take the drugs back, we weigh them and send them to the Drug Enforcement Administration,” said Tony Boze, services captain with PMO. “The DEA takes the medications and destroys them in an environmentally friendly way.” Boze said the drug take back program is not only for retirees, but anyone with unused medication. Current active-duty service members are paving the way for future generations, but Camp Lejeune shows appreciation annually for retirees who paved the way for those serving now.
Approximately four hundred military retirees, many of them war veterans from at least one combat tour, their family members and widows came from far and wide to attend annual Military Retiree Appreciation Day held at Marston Pavilion Sept. 29. Many of the retirees and veterans wore caps, ribbons, or some type of military insignia that proudly told others, “we served.” Brig. Gen. Thomas Gorry, commanding general, Marine Corps Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, welcomed the packed room of guests and participants. “We are here for you today because you were there for us. This is a small token of our sincere appreciation – it’s what this is all about. You have done your time, and this is our way of saying thank you,” said Gorry. After welcoming remarks, Gorry presented the distinguished Whitey Welbourne Award on behalf of the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base Military Retiree Council to retired Gunnery Sgt. Luis Alers. The annual award is given to a military retiree for dedicated service and commitment to active duty, retirees, family members and widows. North Carolina Congressman Walter B. Jones, third congressional district, spoke next, and praised the veterans and retirees for their service and sacrifice. Jones told the crowd how proud he was of our military men and women who continue to serve in harms way and encouraged everyone to pray for their safety. The keynote speaker, Elizabeth Goolsby, director of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Fayetteville, N.C., addressed the audience after Jones. “Because of your many sacrifices we get to enjoy freedom and liberty. As far as I am concerned you are American heroes,” said Goolsby. Gooslby told the audience homelessness still exists among veterans and said they gave too much to be homeless. She pledged her commitment to work hard looking for opportunities to enhance services and increase access to care for veterans. “Ideally, veterans deserve and need access to care close to home within 30 minutes, and no more than 30 miles away,” said Goolsby. Capt. David Lane, commanding officer, Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, spoke after Goolsby, and thanked the veterans and their family members for their service and sacrifice. “I am pleased to tell you Military Retiree Appreciation Day was one of the first things I heard about soon after taking command,” said Lane. Lane presented information about the construction and renovation plans currently being performed, and talked about hospital future growth. Lane told the audience the hospital staff was eager to host the health fair, and he and his staff felt honored and privileged to participate in the event. Jim Askins, department head for NHCL’s Health Promotion and Wellness Department, said the event was huge, and he and his staff looked forward to the event SEE FAIR 3C

Staff Sgt. Michael P. DeGrove, an instructor with Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry – East, uses a plotting board to record adjustments sent from a forward observer during an instructor-only class on firing from the defilade aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune recently.
Defilade shoot for Infantry Training Battalion instructors PFC. JOSHUA W. GRANT
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Marines are riflemen first, trained in the ability to improvise and overcome any challenge when manning a weapon system. Normally at the range, Marines can see targets and corrections are second nature, but when the Infantry Training Battalion instructors of the School of Infantry–East walked up to a the M240B set up on a range aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune recently one debilitating obstacle was directly in their line of sight – a hill. With a maximum effective range on targets exceeding 1,000 meters, the M240B is a crew-served medium machine gun typically employed to fire directly at targets, but like artillery, mortars and even MK-19 grenade launchers, the M240B can be fired from the defilade – where the target is not visible from the gun position. ‘Right 10 degrees, up 15 degrees, how copy?’ ‘Solid copy; firing,’ is commonly heard over the radio at a range aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. Forward observers report targets, relay information to the forward direction center and then to Marines behind the weapons. With the inability to view where the rounds impact, the Marines behind the weapons need assistance to get rounds on target.
Forward observers sit atop the berm with viewing optics to see the rounds impacting down range. They then report the results and send the adjustments to the forward direction center, which converts observed distances to units the Marines can use to adjust the weapons. Staff Sgt. Michael P. DeGrove, a machine gun chief with ITB, SOI–East, was tasked with arranging the shoot for the instructors and said shooting from the defilade with the M240B is a ‘lost art.’ The class is only offered in advanced guns, a course most machine gunners don’t have the ability to attend, and if the teaching is not relayed to other Marines, the knowledge will be lost, said DeGrove. Offered specifically for the instructors, DeGrove said the firing-from-the-defilade training helps the instructors improve and adapt their skills, and builds confidence in the ability to use the weapon. Sgt. Keith Aldridge, instructor with ITB, SOI–East, said firing from the defilade with the M240B was new to him, but after being briefed and going through the training, he said he is confident he could effectively use what he learned in combat. Although it has been an optional tactic for years, the “lost art” of firing from the defilade with the M240B is still proving itself to be effective training for service members and those in combat.

Pirates invade Midway Park for swashbuckling fun AMY BINKLEY
Assistant managing editor
A
hoy ye landlubbers. Gather ’round to hear the tale of Midway Park’s pirate invasion or prepare to walk the
plank. Sails were set toward fun as more than 300 buccaneers pillaged for treasure during the annual Pirate Fest at Midway Park Community Center aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area Oct. 13. “There are fall festivals everywhere, and everyone has their take on them,” noted Victoria Braggiotti-Brown, recreation specialist at MPCC. “This is just something different. Pirates are part of North Carolina’s history.” Guests avoided Davy Jones’ locker by sporting their best pirate costumes, including eye patches, captains’ hats and plastic swords. “It’s a pretty simple costume,
and everyone looks good in stripes,” explained Kaci Marshall, who watched over her young wards. “It’s something fun to do with the kids.” Pirates both young and old were sent on adventures to each game to collect more booty for their bags. They aimed for direct targets at the bean bag throw, showed their strength at the hammer bell game and bounced their way through many castles on their search for more gold. Making the day even more exciting was the presence of the Moody Crewe pirates who were on hand to teach the lads and lassies the history of the Golden Age of Piracy and conduct lessons on pirate-life. “For kids, it’s magical,” said Braggiotti-Brown. “(The pirates) really enhance the event.” Lori Morgan and Janet Waltz, both members of the crew as well as military spouses, jumped at the chance to entertain MCB Camp Lejeune’s scallywags. “We’re historical re-enactors and debunk Hollywood myths about pirate culture,” Waltz bragged. Morgan explained how contrary to popular belief, there were female pirates. “They had to dress as men because it was bad luck to have a woman on board,”
she stated. Close by, children sat in rapt attention learning the calls of the o,”” o, lookout like “ship, ahoy,” “land ho,” and “there she blows.” nd n d Waltz watched the audience and n remembered bringing her children to base events when they were younger. “Being a military mom, you ds don’t have to worry about your kids avee av at events like this,” she said. “You h have un a little more freedom to let them run around. I always knew they’d be safe. In this day and age, few places exist like that. It’s comforting.” Representatives from the North Carolina Maritime Museum brought artifacts from ships found off the coasts and put them on display for all passersby. Christine Brin, group programs coordinator for the museum, was excited to be a part of the festivities. “It’s such a positive event,” she commented. “Everyone comes out ready to have fun. I love coming to events on base.” When asked why she thought the pirate theme drew such a large crowd, her response was quick. “Everyone loves pirates,” she exclaimed. “They have a romantic appeal. I show (the kids) the weapons, tell them about Blackbeard and even give them a whiff of pirate smells (like pine tar and spices).” A costume contest

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.
Scares, thrills take possession of box office Now playing at Camp Lejeune “THE POSSESSION” (PG-13) “The Possession” is a horror movie. The film is based on a true story and the terrifying account of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil. Jeffrey Dean Morgan (“The Losers,” “Jonah Hex,” Watchmen”) and Kyra Sedgwick (TVs “The Closer”) star as Clyde and Stephanie Brenek, a recently divorced couple. When their younger daughter, 10-year-old Emily, played by Natasha Calis (“Daydream Nation”), becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale, her parents see little concern for alarm. But as Emily’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fears the presence of a malevolent force in the midst. They soon discover the box was built to contain a dibbuk, a dislocated ancient spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host. The father and his ex-wife team up to find a way to end the curse upon their child. Co-starring is hiphop artist Matisyahu as Tzadok, the young rabbinical scholar, Jay Brazeau (“Sisters & Brothers”) as Professor McMannis, and Madison Davenport (“Jack and the Beanstalk”) as Hannah,
Emily’s older sister. Danish director Ole Bornedal (“Nightwatch”) based his horror tale on a 2004 article published in the Los Angeles Times about an eBay sale of a haunted Jewish dibbuk box. The movie is produced by horror master Sam Raimi (“The Evil Dead”). “The Possession” is an exorcism drama reminiscent of the 1973 “The Exorcist,” however this religious horror presentation, using a Jewish focus vice a Catholic one, is rather predictable, incoherent and not in the same league. Note: Dibbuk is a Jewish term for a restless spirit that finds refuge in a living creature according to Jewish folklore. Now playing at Jacksonville “TAKEN 2” (PG-13) “Taken 2” is an action thriller and sequel to the 2008 “Taken.” Liam Neeson (“The Grey,” “Dark Knight Rises”) reprises his role of Brian Mills, a retired Central Intelligence Agency operative, who stopped at nothing to save his daughter from Albanian kidnappers. As a former government agent, Mills retired and now attempts to reassemble his old life, after years of government service overseas left him estranged from his teenage daughter. When she was kidnapped while in Europe, Mills used all of his old

tricks to rescue her. Currently working as a personal security for sheikhs in Istanbul, Mills invites his ex-wife and daughter to join him for a little vacation. However, relatives of the Albanians he killed previously when rescuing his daughter, plotted revenge and are just waiting for the right time to take Bryan and his wife hostage during their family outing. The Albanian’s goal is to torture and humiliate Mills before bringing him back to their homeland for execution. In a twist of fate, Bryan has to enlist his daughter, who miraculously escaped the ploy,

are Leland Orser (“The Good German”) as Sam, John Gries (“September Dawn”) as Casey, and Rade Serbedzija (“In the Lland of Blood and Honey”) appears as Murad Krasniqi, the Albanian mobster. Director Olivier Megaton (“Colombiana,” “Transporter 3”) took the helm for this sequel with a script by famous French filmmaker Luc Besson, who also wrote the
screenplay for “Taken.” “Taken 2” is almost like a duplicate of the original film, using the same formula, actors, and family values. Only the location shifted from Paris to Istanbul, and for a sequel, this thriller is twice as exciting and explosive. Ms. Huneycutt is the public affairs assistant at the Base Public Affairs office.

O
rganizations hoping to raise money for the Museum of the Marine hosted a gala celebrating some of America’s heroes at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Oct. 6. The formal event consisted of a silent auction, a dinner, a keynote speaker, a live auction, and an update on the museum’s progess. Located in Jacksonville, the Museum of the Marine’s mission will be to tell the story of the unique contributions Marines made throughout their history in the Carolinas. Distinguished guests included Dennis Cadigan, Ted Britton, Sgt. Maj. Raymond Mackay and Master Gunnery Sgt. James McEniry. Cadigan was blinded while serving in the Marine Corps in Vietnam. He later earned a doctorate in clinical psychology and worked in the field for 37 years. Britton is one of the original Montford Point Marines, an ambassador to Barbados and a Congressional Gold Medal recipient. Mackay served in the Marine Corps for 29 years and lost his legs while in Afghanistan. He leads and inspires Marines who rehabilitate at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. McEniry is a reservist and a New York Police Department officer who was
a first responder during the 9/11 attacks. Dan Jansen was the featured keynote speaker at the dinner. Jansen was an Olympic speed skater, and he competed in three games. He told guests in attendance about his uphill battle and struggles that eventually propelled him to win a gold medal in the final Olympic race of his career. “My story is not about the victory at the end of the road,” said Jansen. “It’s about the journey. Improving your weakness in life will also improve your strengths.” Jansen explained how he participated in the 500-meter and 1000-meter races, but he was much better at the 500. After some personal struggles with the death of his sister and professional disappointments, Jansen kept working in the off-season. He worked to improve his ability to race in the 1000-meter event, eventually winning gold. “Jansen’s story is about overcoming struggles and getting to where he wants to be,” said retired Col. Bruce Gombar, chairman of the Board of Directors for the Museum of the Marine. “The museum parallels this journey in the sense we were hoping for this for a long time now, and our hard work is going to pay off very soon.” Gombar announced construction for the museum will start by the end of this year.

Military spouses pack punch against cancer AMY BINKLEY
Assistant managing editor
B
reast cancer is a big bully. Words won’t slow it down and lectures don’t intimidate it. When the only thing left is to fight, the best thing to do is fight like a girl. Military spouses came with their supporters by their side for the 13th annual Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon at the Tarawa Terrace Religious Education Center aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area Oct. 11. The brave warriors in pink gathered to encourage each other, share stories and, more importantly, learn new strategies to win the battle against breast cancer. “It’s an honor to speak to you heroes today,” Capt. David Lane, commanding officer for Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, said, welcoming the crowd. “Women’s health has always been a big part of my practice, and I know when you receive a diagnosis like breast cancer, it feels like your whole world comes crashing down.” Lane knows how the devastating find has not just on the patient but their entire family. He shared how he fell in love with his wife when he was 12-years-old, and when the black cloud of cancer came knocking on their door in 2007, they chose to fight together. “It got personal when my wife became a part of the sisterhood of breast cancer survivors,” he admitted, holding back tears. “Nobody would wish cancer on anyone, but when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. It brought our family so close together
and made us realize what’s really important.” Sonya Pagan, who attended the event for the first time since being diagnosed in November 2011, wasn’t shy about sharing her thoughts of her condition. “This won’t beat me,” she declared. Dr. Brian Reed, a general surgeon at NHCL, prepped the women for war as he laid out the hard facts about the disease. “An estimated 290,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012,” announced Dr. Brian Reed, general surgeon at NHCL. “We’re getting better at making the diagnosis, but the sobering reality is that breast cancer kills.” Reed didn’t tiptoe around the facts of the disease, noting the importance of self-breast exams and speaking to others about prevention, and he recognized the strength and determination of the ladies hanging on his words. “It’s motivating to see you all deal with the disease you’ve been handed and are overcoming,” he said. “Today, we’re being washed in pink, but sometimes we can get washed away with the pink. There’s so much more about the care of breast cancer than the color.” He relayed the story of how October became the nationally recognized Breast Cancer Awareness Month when a handful of survivors decided not to take their diagnosis laying down. “These women weren’t happy with their condition,” he stated. “They were mad, and they chose to do something about it. I want you to put teeth behind the pink. Be advocates for change.” Wrapping up the event was Lt. Vincent Champion, the division officer of

Swanson is a 10-year survivor of the disease and credits Sparks as her biggest supporter throughout her journey. breast imaging at NHCL, who encouraged the survivors with the news of changes, upgrades and improvements being made at the hospital for people diagnosed with breast cancer. “We’re doing everything we can to take care of you all,” he promised. “This includes image screening, new machines, a new tracking system and letters in the mail when you’re due for an exam.”
He concluded by assuring the ladies of their importance within the military community. “If we have to screen 1,000 women to the save the life of one, I think it’s worth it,” he said. “You deserve the best care possible. We want to take care of you. We’re a family.” For more information about breast cancer visit www.cancer.org.
Base theater receives digital, 3-D upgrades LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Base Theater unveiled new changes to its facility, dramatically improving its customer’s movie-going
experience with a new digital projection system. “In (Marine Corps Community Services), especially here at the theater, we always want to improve our facilities, equipment and events for our patrons,” said Charlie Miller, the manager of the main theater as well as
the Midway Park Theater aboard the base. The new projection system provides a 3-D movie watching experience as well as digital projection. “Digital is the way of the future,” said Miller. “It’s a necessity, 35-millimeter film is going to be a thing of the past.”

Miller said 35-millimeter film came in various reels and was pieced together into larger reels for movie watching. Later it had to be put back into smaller reels to return to distributors. In addition to the efficiency of the new digital system, Miller said the sound and image quality drastically improved. “We improved the experience our customers have in the theater with the digital and 3-D equipment we installed,” said Miller.

Chaplain’s Corner Fall anticipates hopeful harvest LT. CMDR. ERSKINE L. ALVIS
Wounded Warrior Battalion East
This time of year, we often see the signs for numerous fall festivals. Many of us may wonder what causes such events and exactly what the festival is for The term fall festival finds its origins in early colonial America. It was a tradition later amplified in the 19th Century. Simply put, it is a celebration of the harvesting of crops many settlers would use to sustain themselves through the upcoming winter. If it was a strong crop and there was plenty of bounty, usually farmers and their families were always happier about having what they needed to get through the winter. If the crops were weak the farmers entered the winter with anxiety because they could run the risk of hunger if they could not stow the stores needed to live productive lives. It is out of this spirit of celebration we celebrate the bounty of God’s gifts for the days in which we live. Fall festivals are similar in many ways to Thanksgiving celebrations, but they are not the same. With Thanksgiving, there is usually a direct reference to God. With fall festivals, it may or may not be so. But, what the fall festival does is recognize the hard work of our farmers and families, and brings us together in community. From our communities we gain strength and courage. For many of us, this year may be the first or second autumn home from war. Many of our families are together and at the very same time, many of our families are preparing to send their Marine or sailor forward again. Some of us are separated from our loved ones as we move forward. As we are people of service and sacrifice, I pray all of us can be thankful and celebrate the festival of this autumn in front of us. Although we do not necessarily farm or till the land, we do cultivate something very sacred – our freedom and hope for the future. In this season of festival, may all of us take stock of our nation’s freedom and the freedoms we cultivate through our service. For those of us of faith, the term fall festival may remind us of the gifts of the almighty. As we utilize these gifts, we ask for the guidance, wisdom and hope we need every day to live lives of meaning and of service. By trusting the almighty to hold us and keep us safe, and to especially lead us in times of anxiety or chaos, we can find the community and help we need as we seek God’s mercy for our own lives and for our loved ones as well. This autumn, take the time to be with family and friends as you enjoy the opportunities around us. May this season be one of hope, harvest and celebration.

The thrills and chills of Terror Town will return to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Oct. 26 and 27 as well as Oct. 29 through 31. The haunted house is currently under construction and being prepared to scare the yell out of every guest who dares to enter.
Beware Terror Town’s return PFC. JOSHUA W. GRANT
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
A
perennial Halloween favorite, with all its screams and shouts of fear, is on its way back to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune this year. In the eerie darkness of Building 84, scary scenes are being constructed around every corner to make this year’s Terror Town one of the most chilling ever. More than 40 volunteers will be helping build sets, apply makeup and practice their acts to scare thrill-seeking crowds. Terror Town will run Oct. 26 to 27 and Oct. 29 to 31 this year, and is located in the Hadnot Point Plaza. Terror Town is a reincarnation of Haunted Forest, which was
actually a faux forest setup within Marston Pavilion three years ago. It was relocated and renamed because many people mistakenly perceived it as being in the woods. “People were confused why it was called the Haunted Forest, and it was wasteful to cut down trees and put them inside,” said Charlie Miller, theater manager aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. Terror Town has no set overall theme, giving the actors and patrons the ability to let their imagination run wild. The Vortex, a popular scene from last year will be returning this year. “We allow our characters to walk through and create the theme themselves,” said Miller. “It helps them feel passionate about it, to make it their own.” Admission to this year’s Terror Town scare fest will be $5, which
