The commandant and sergeant major of the Marine Corps visited nine forward operating bases and combat outposts spread across all of Helmand province, Afghanistan, in one day, Nov. 24. Gen. James Amos and Sgt. Maj. Micheal Barrett took time to address the Marines for Thanksgiving and to talk about the missions accomplished since their last visits in September. “You’re making a difference,” said Amos, addressing the Marines at COP Alcatraz in Northern Helmand province. “We are going to walk out of here under a victory flag because of the progress you are making. The focus of the world has been on this area for so long and we are starting to see the progress we had hoped for when we began our mission in these areas.” Throughout the visit, they answered
questions from Marines about the future of the Corps. Topics ranged from budget cuts, the Corps’ potential drawdown, uniform policy and the recent news of Marines serving overseas in Australia. “It seems like the command is concerned and cared enough to come down to talk to us,” said Lance Cpl. David Filho, with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment at COP Alcatraz. “They get a chance to see how we operate and it shows that we are not forgotten.” Gen. John Allen, commanding general of International Security Assistance ForceAfghanistan, met up with the commandant on Patrol Base Alcatraz early in the day. Allen is the top Marine officer in Afghanistan and the highest level commander in the country. The units the commandant and sergeant major of the Marine Corps visit consisted SEE FRONTLINE 6A

The mission is received: terrorist forces and a large amount of weapons have been identified in a town neighboring a previous objective. Six hours later, the Marines are ready. Their gear has been checked and rechecked. All personnel for the mission have been identified and accounted for. Their roles, responsibilities and the scheme of maneuver have been briefed twice-over. Assault amphibious vehicles carry the Marines through the water to land, before finally arriving at the town. Security sets in — nothing comes in or out of the town, except the Marines. The Marines assault and organized chaos ensues. The Marines stalk building to building, room to room, leaving their enemy combatants in a state of disarray as they mow them down with the sound of gunfire. Less than an hour later, the Marines regroup, get in their AAVs and egress from the town. None of this is real. The bad guys: role players. The bullets: blanks.

Steep hills, sharp turns and mounds of dirt served as the backdrop while the 2nd Marine Logistics Group promoted safety and proper riding techniques during the off-road quarterly ride at Busco Beach in Goldsboro, N.C., recently. The intent of the exercise was to facilitate off-road training for Marines and sailors with the 2nd MLG. The training was given by more experienced riders who possessed the knowledge junior riders could benefit from. Getting training riders couldn’t garner from a classroom environment was a main focus of the training. As the morning faded
into the afternoon, riders whipped through turns and climbed the steepest of hills as they practiced safe riding techniques while still having a good time. “Even though it is training, everyone is having a great time,� said Staff Sgt. Brent Sharp, the 2nd MLG safety officer. “It’s hard to balance having a good time and learning. We have Marines getting on bikes for the first time in their lives, and they are having a great time riding a dirt bike the right way. The fact that they are doing it the proper way the first time is great.� The exercise was successful in teaching Marines the basics of riding an offroad vehicle using the correct techniques, but organizers were hoping for a larger turnout. “We would love for more
riders to come out and enjoy the training with us,� Sharp said. “We have approximately 150 active offroad riders, so we should have a lot bigger turn out. We don’t want any Marines to get on a bike without the knowledge to keep himself and everyone around him safe.� Though not yet scheduled, Sharp is dedicated to spreading the word about the next off-road training as soon as possible. “I’m going to begin spreading the word about the next one a lot sooner so that all our off-roaders can attend and get the essential training we’re providing,� he said. “Not only is it training, but it’s a day off.� For more information on the next 2nd MLG off-road quarterly ride, visit your unit’s training section.

A truck delivers thousands of pounds of mail to the Postal Detachment, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), aboard Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, recently. More than 10,000 pounds of mail is delivered to the postal facility on a daily basis, which will double as the holidays approach.
CAMP LEATHERNECK, AFGHANISTAN
Operation North Pole ramps up for holiday mail rush CPL. KATHERINE M. SOLANO 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)
The Marines with the Postal Detachment, Headquarters and Service Company, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward) are accustomed to moving upward of 10,000 pounds of mail per day, but with the holiday season approaching, that amount will nearly double. With the increase of letters and packaging reaching 20,000 pounds or more per day, the postal Marines reached out to other units for service members to temporarily work at the postal lot through Jan. 1, 2012. The influx of mail led
the leaders of the 2nd MLG (Fwd.) to enlist the support of 24 extra pairs of hands in Operation North Pole. Without the extra help, Lance Cpl. Markevis Seth, a postal clerk with the Postal Detachment, says there would be too much mail to manage. “People don’t realize how much mail means until they deploy,” Seth said. “Everything they get out here has to come through us. What they buy at the PX is delivered through us first.” Their organization and teamwork allows for a seamless process of unloading, sorting, organizing and packing the large amounts of mail to be delivered to both civilians and
military personnel around the battlespace. Not only does the detachment receive mail for Camp Leatherneck, it handles mail to be delivered to forward operating bases and camps all around the Regional Command Southwest area of operation. While the amount of time and effort put into a workday drastically increases during the holidays for the postal Marines, Seth says it is worth it, especially when they get to see the Marine’s face who is on the receiving end of their hard work. “Everything they get to make them smile out here comes through us,” Seth said. “A lot of them tell us they appreciate it.”

Marine beats cancer, gains new outlook CPL. KATHERINE M. SOLANO 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)
At 18 years young, many men are thinking about their first year of college, their high-school sweetheart, their favorite sports team or even their impending adulthood and the responsibilities that come with it. For many, the furthest thing from their mind is a cancer diagnosis. For Cpl. Daniel Botero, it was a reality. The Colombia, native decided that at 18, he was going to give back to the country that has, in his own words, given him hope and opportunities in life, by enlisting in the military. With a four-year sacrifice on his shoulders, Botero had already done more than the majority of his peers. Fast forward through training and, just as he was about to begin his military occupational specialty classes to become a combat engineer, he was faced with a prospect that some adults cannot even fathom. He was diagnosed with cancer in February 2009. Not only was he diagnosed with testicular cancer, but doctors told him it had spread. His liver, lungs and brain also had cancerous cells. A new Marine and a new adult, Botero now added new cancer patient to his life’s résumé, while putting his Marine Corps career on hold. The new Marine began an aggressive course of chemotherapy. The treatment left him weak,
without hair and unable to do simple tasks without tremendous effort. After his first surgery, both he and his doctors weren’t sure if he would make it through a necessary second surgery. “I was so weak from the chemo, we didn’t even know if I would survive the anesthesia,” Botero said. “I told them I needed a month to just rest, eat and try to gain some strength. My odds were still bad going into the second surgery.” In July 2009, doctors successfully completed his second surgery. Fourteen months later, his doctors told him his cancer was in remission. Botero could begin his life as a Marine, a life that only a year ago held no guarantees. In less than two years, he had become a Marine, been diagnosed with cancer, had faced the very real possibility of dying before his 21st birthday, and now he was a cancer survivor. He jumped back into his Marine Corps training with zeal. With most of his family still living in South America, the cancer survivor admits that the Marine Corps had become his family. “The Marine Corps was all I knew, so I just wanted to get back into it,” Botero said. “I begged them to give me something to do while I was in treatment.” That’s how he became heavily involved with the Wounded Warriors Battalion East aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Afghan soldier takes reins as explosives reduction course instructor CPL. TIMOTHY SOLANO
Regional Command Southwest
It’s another training day at Joint Sustainment Academy Southwest, where Afghan soldiers are learning specific occupational specialties and general military skills just as they do every day. However, one course offers a unique learning advantage because the instructor is an Afghan National Army soldier and speaks his students’ language, Pashto. Sgt. Hamidullah, with 1st Brigade, 215th Corps, has been an instructor for the FRONTLINE FROM 1A of the bulk of the ground combat element for Regional Command Southwest. Their tour served many purposes, in addition to the morale boost for frontline combat troops. As the service chief for the bulk of all the forces in the province, Amos is responsible to train, man and equip units prior to deploying. Amos’ stewardship as commandant will be paramount in the coming years as more Marine units rotate home and fewer are sent to Afghanistan. Marines and units will need to readjust to “garrison life” and a slower deployment tempo, but will also need to train and refit for potential deployments and training exercises to new locales. One of his first stops in the morning was to FOB Whitehouse and the Marines of 1st Bn., 6th Marines in Northern Helmand province. The base itself and the battalion is in territory that was highly kinetic and owned by insurgents little more than a month ago. The visit was the first chance Amos had to congratulate the Marines on the successful operation, known as Eastern Storm, to unseat the insurgency in this area. This area
Explosive Hazard Reduction Course at JSAS for the last three months. He teaches everything, from detecting and identifying improvised explosive devices to the science behind assembling plastic explosives. “It’s my job to teach the students how to safely sweep for, and identify and destroy improvised explosive devices in place,” said Hamidullah. “I also teach them about connecting C - 4 lines and fuses.” With a curriculum as intricate and potentially dangerous as the EHRC’s, every phase of the learning process is critical. The course is supervised by U.S. and co-
is one of the few in the entire province where new bases were recently constructed. Later in the day they traveled south to FOB Delhi in Garmsir District. First Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment handed over responsibility of their area of operations to 3rd Bn., 3rd Marines, recently. The transfer of authority was significant due to the positive trend caused by 1st Bn., 3rd Marines and previous Marine battalions. The units had successfully transitioned or closed several bases in the area due to decreasing violence and increases in skill demonstrated from partnered Afghan National Security Force units. At each stop the commandant and sergeant major of the Marine Corps had a chance to speak to the assembled Marines and answer questions. They also had the opportunity to present awards for valor to several Marines and sailors in the ground combat element, known as Task Force Leatherneck. At the end of the day, they stepped behind the serving line to dish out Thanksgiving dinner to Marines at FOB Dwyer, the headquarters for Regimental Combat Team 5 in charge of Southern Helmand province.
alition forces explosives experts, but now that the course does not require the aid of an interpreter, nothing risks getting lost in translation. “Every time we go to the field to teach, we don’t even have to guide him,” said Lance Cpl. Corey Donovan. “By now, he just knows exactly what to do and what to tell the students,” said the fellow EHRC instructor. Ultimately, allowing instructors like Hamidullah to teach a class not only provides a smoother workflow without the use of interpreters; but also gives Afghan
RAIDS FROM 1A by the II Marine Expeditionary Force Special Operations Training Group to help prepare the Marines and sailors of Company A, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment to serve as the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit Battalion Landing Team’s Mechanized Raid force. The Marines spent Nov. 7 though 18, at various training sites throughout the base, taking part in the Mechanized Raid Course. The company has the responsibility to serve as the 24th MEU’s mechanized raid force; meaning they insert into areas using AAVs, raid a target objective, and egress back to amphibious shipping the 24th MEU is embarked on. The Marines of 2nd Assault Amphibian Vehicle Platoon are attached to the company and serve as the company’s transportation. The training centered on all the intricacies involved with conducting raids including Military Operations in Urban Terrain, understanding the roles and responsibilities of the company’s platoons and how to employ all available assets within the MEU’s capabilities to ensure mission success. “This course is meant to pretty much get the company into the raid mindset, as far as going ship to shore,” said Gunnery Sgt. James Page, the company gunnery sergeant. “It’s an initiating package to get us ready for the MEU.”
soldiers a sense of accomplishment and propriety within their military system. “I am glad to have this job. It is very important to me that I can protect the Afghan people and (ANA) from danger,” Hamidullah said, adding that he aims to ensure he and his students are always ‘speaking the same language’ when it comes to explosive weapons handling and safety. After completing the course, the soldiers will use their skills for their respective units in and around Helmand province, as a majority of roadside bombs are found by human eyes.
The two-week course took place as a way for the company to develop the foundation for their standard operating procedures, and develop cohesion amongst the Marines, said Capt. Robert May, the company commander. "It solidifies the SOPs we've been working on the previous three or four months," May said. "We want to codify all the information and make sure everything we've put in our previous SOP we can actually execute with." In the first week of the course, the Marines divided into an assault element, support element and security element to focus on mission specific tasks. In the second week of the course, the company took part in raid scenarios, facilitated by SOTG, similar to how they would actually receive missions. The Marines would receive the mission, then have six hours to plan and prepare, before assaulting their objective. "We can set up a plan with that six-hour (tactics, techniques and procedures) process, and then actually execute, based solely on our SOPs with minor modifications," May said. The ability to understand how all their SOPs apply to that six hour period is one of the most important things the Marines should take from the course, said May. The Mechanized Raid Course is the last of three raid courses the 24th MEU’s ground combat element has completed to prepare them for deployment next year.

Lejeune Marine receives Outstanding Veteran Award for exemplary service to community CPL. ANDREW D. JOHNSTON 2nd Marine Division
The town hall was packed and the crowd was full of old-time war veterans who proudly served their country. One by one, honorees approached the city council where they were recognized for their outstanding work in the community — but, one of them stood out. The only active-duty service member in attendance, Staff Sgt. Daniel G. Stoy, an infantry unit leader with 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, was honored for his outstanding achievements in community service and awarded the City of Jacksonville, North Carolina’s Outstanding Veterans Award recently. Stoy has three Purple Hearts from wounds he received in Iraq and currently
serves as the sergeant-at-arms for the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Beirut Memorial Chapter 642. “Each of the different veteran chapters here in Jacksonville was allowed to put up one nominee for the award, which is basically for your service in the community,” said Stoy. “This the first time that The Military Order Of The Purple Heart has had an active-duty member up for the award in two or three years. Basically, it’s from all of the volunteer work I’ve done after the tornadoes hit. I had my whole (team) out there working with me.” In late spring, a tornado hit the area, devastating families, destroying homes and leveling businesses. Stoy quickly gathered up a group of his guys, headed out in town and helped in any way they could. He and his team spent countless hours servicing the community in the

wake of the event. “If there is any time that we need help, Staff Sergeant Stoy always gets his troops for us,” said Verl H. Matthews, senior vice commander of the MOPH chapter. “He asks for volunteers and (he) and his guys always come and help. These guys are some of the hardest workers and I just got done signing about 20 appreciation letters this morning. He has just done so much for us and the community.” As a proud father of three, Stoy said it was no easy task juggling his duties as a Marine, community volunteer and husband all at the same time. He said if there was one person who made it all work, it was his wife. “I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the support of my wonderful wife,” said Stoy. “She has fully support-
ed me in everything. She’s here taking care of the home front while I’m out volunteering. It’s that basic love and your basic husband and wife support — she has been great.” Stoy said that he plans on doing community service for the rest of his life and was very humbled to receive the award. He attributes his love for service to his father and wanted everyone to know how appreciative he was to be recognized. “It feels good to be honored like this because my father, who just passed in October, always used to tell us, ‘What you give is what you get,’ so it meant a lot to get (this award),” said Stoy. “Between the balance of work and the balance of volunteering, it was tough. But just being able to see the looks on people’s faces when you’re out there helping, makes it all worth it in the end.”

Camp Lejeune Misfits grapple their way to All-Marine Team JESSIE HEATH Sports editor
I
t’s already dark by the time the stadium lights come on and the chirping of crickets is masked by the yells echoing from L street field. The Camp Lejeune Misfits rugby team clusters together on a dimly lit field for another night of practice aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Tuesday. The Misfits, who went 5-0 in their regular season, added to their winning streak when seven of their athletes were named team members of the All-Marine rugby team. Capt. Glenn Jensen, 1st Lt. Nick Pisacano, 1st Lt. David Hendrickson and 1st Lt. Robert Miller were accepted to the All-Marine team, along with Cpl. Thomas O’Julu, Cpl. Logan Mitchell and Master Sgt. Alex Carlson. On a team of 25 players, MCB Camp Lejeune had the most
players from one base make the team. “Out of our seven players on the All-Marine team, five of them were in the pack,” said Misfits’ coach Maj. Gerasimos Skordoulis. “Because there were so many of them in the pack, we were able to adapt the rest of the team to a game plan we already knew, rather than work from scratch.” Skordoulis, who was the pack coach for the All-Marine team, used the Camp Lejeune Misfits’ potential to its fullest by taking what his athletes already knew and letting them teach it to the rest of the All-Marine rugby players during their one-week camp, Oct. 24 through Nov. 1. “After we made the final cuts to the team, we only had a couple of days of practice to learn what we needed to,” explained Skordoulis. “After that, we started the Inter-Service Championship tournament at Fort Benning, Ga.” The Inter-Service Championship tournament brought together rugby
teams from all branches of the military for four days of consecutive play. While the All-Marine team did not do as well as they hoped, Skordoulis said eased he was pleased d of and proud how they competed and worked together with the short amount of time they were given. in nal “The final e the een was between Air Force and the Coast Guard,” said Skordoulis. “But we played. It gets hard when you have guys who deploy a lot and don’t have much experience playing rugby.”
Of the Misfits’ All-Marine players, experience proved to not be necessary to understand and appreciate the game. The most experience any of Skoroudlis s rugby players has is two Skoroudlis’ years, wh hi Skordoulis considers an which anom ma in itself. It takes dedicaanomaly tion n to be a standout player o n a team that only gets to on p practice two or three times a week and constantly has to reassess as players leave and come back. “We don’t have time to come out here and run strength training drills, so most of our guys do their o own fitness and then just cco come out here to practice. That means we can focus on Tha skill when we are together as a team. Most guys who make it to the AllMarine level would have five or more years of experience in the civilian SEE RUGBY 7B

when it comes to removing the hook from the beak-like teeth. Most anglers looking to catch blowfish use shrimp, since sea urchins, clams and crabs are not always readily available. It doesn’t take much shrimp to lure in a puffer fish; most anglers use less than a half-inch strip of shrimp. One thing anglers should prepare for is the size of the blow fish when they puff up. They can fill themselves with water or air when they are threatened. Their inflation is accompanied with creaking sounds, which are made by their beaks and teeth as they grind together. If you fish in waters that are cooler than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, you don’t have to worry about the blow fish inflating. The easy part is catching the blow fish, but properly retrieving meat is a little more difficult. The trick is to cleanly remove the strip of chickenlike meat from the back of the fish and leave behind the rest of the fish for the waiting seagulls. The most effective cleaning and stripping procedure I have witnessed is taken from a regular fisherman at Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier. This angler cuts through the back of the puffer and slides his knife along the back of the fish, cleanly cutting the edible flesh. Anglers can easily use this method, but should make sure they have a pair of gloves and pliers to pull away the tough skin. Make a cut just behind the head of the fish, through the backbone and all the way to the tail. This facilitates easy skin removal, which will produce a clean piece of
ready-to-cook meat. Cooking these boneless, delicate pieces of meat takes a light touch. Some cooks bread and deep fry the fish, but I prefer a lighter taste. I dredge the meat in flour and sauté it in a skillet with some lemon butter. When the meat becomes flaky and peels apart easily, the fish is done and ready to devour. The most important thing for anglers to remember when they are fishing for puffer fish is to make sure that they distinguish between the striped burr fish and the blow fish. The striped burr fish has sharp spines protruding from its skin, which are longer than those on the tough skin of the blow fish. The striped burr fish has been associated with toxins, so let’s leave it off the dinner plates. Aside from the bountiful puffer fish that have sprung up on the coast, speckled trout are still around the jetties, Cape Lookout, Shackleford Banks and Radio Island. Speckled trout can also be found in many of the local creeks and rivers. Bluefin tuna have started to show up off coast. These jumping fish are proving to be big this year. With estimated weights of up to 300 lbs, some have already been seen in the Lookout Shoals areas. The bluefin catches will begin soon, and anglers should prepare now. For more information, anglers should visit www. vm.cfsan.fda.gov.

Lions’ Suh needs a lesson in respect for his team, sport
As a young athlete, I discovered that I was very competitive. I hated to lose. I would get mad with myself for letting a softball pass me by in the field, and the feeling of a volleyball grazing the tips of my fingers as I was unable to stop it would make me clench my hands into fists. But, no matter how frustrated I became that I didn’t run fast enough, jump high enough or react quick enough, I never took it out on another athlete. I never stooped so low as to intentionally cause another athlete harm. Thousands of people were watching television when Ndamukong Suh lost his temper and took out his anger on Evan Dietrich-Smith, during the Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers game, Thanksgiving day. It was disturbing to watch Suh pound Smith’s head into the ground three times and then step on his chest as he was pulled off him. His poor judgment and tacky display of poor sportsmanship led to Suh being ejected from the game during the third quarter. In the post-game press
conference, Suh’s rambling remarks did little to convince me that he was just trying to stand up after falling on top of Smith or that he was trying to get himself out of what he thought might be construed as an unsportsmanlike situation. Suh has already made a name for himself as an athlete who has a history of getting violent on the field. His attempt to say that he was not intentionally trying to harm Smith came too little too late. It is one thing to fall on top of another athlete and push against each other casually as you climb back to your feet. It is another thing to pin somebody to the ground and forcibly and repeatedly push their head into the ground. It’s disgraceful and ignorant to blatantly attempt to inflict pain on anybody, friend or foe, who is not a present danger to you. Smith presented no danger to Suh, who nonetheless obviously felt like he had some sort of given right to get aggressive with the closest thing to him - Smith’s helmet. In the press conference after the game, Suh said that he did not intentionally grab or kick at Smith. But, when watching the replay from the game, it’s hard for me to see anything besides a player
demonstrate a lack of self control and respect for those around him. Besides disrespecting himself and Smith, Suh also showed a lack of respect for his team and the game. One of the first things my first coach ever taught me was that each team member represented the entire team and that the actions of one individual could affect every person they came into contact with on the field. Team members are a reflection of the team they stand for and the actions of individuals are incorporated into the actions of the entire team. What Suh does during every game affects his entire team. His actions are not his own when he is on the field. He represents the Lions and what he does to make himself look bad reflects poorly on his team as well. In a statement after the game, Suh said he recognized the fact that because of who he is, all eyes are on him. I find it difficult to believe that he really grasps that concept at all. If he really understood that all eyes are on him, why would he put himself in a position to be questioned by his actions? If he understood that he is somebody who is watched closely, he would be more conscious of his actions and do a little more to ensure that nothing could be misinterpreted. I’ve heard people say that Suh has established himself as one of the strongest men in the
sport. The same people believe that having fans expect so much from Suh is what pushed him over the edge. When compared to other athletes who are held to high expectations, this argument falls short. Yes, Suh is held to a higher standard than a high school football player. No, it does not excuse his actions. If anything, it should make him more aware of the fact that all eyes are on him, waiting to see if he will mess up. If he is aware that all eyes are on him, why does he continue to behave as though nobody is watching? Maybe Suh needs to take a look at the way the Marine Corps handles respect. Maybe it’s time he sits back and gets a glimpse of what real respect looks like. He could learn a lot from watching the way Marines carry themselves with pride and dignity and treat those around them with the utmost respect and courtesy. The Marine Corps has proved time and time again that you must give respect to get it. From being on the front lines to humanitarian aid efforts, Marines are the epitome of what respect for yourself and others really looks like. Just as every Marine reflects the values that their training has instilled in them, Suh needs to step up and show some respect for the game or leave altogether.

Devil Pups’ women’s basketball team emerges victorious over Swansboro JESSIE HEATH Sports editor
The Lejeune High School Devil Pup women’s basketball team has one thing going for them – they know how to keep their opponents guessing. After pouncing on Coastal Christian Academy for a 53-31 win in their season opener, the lady Devil Pups fell to the Rosewood Eagles last Monday. Despite their loss the night before, the Devil Pups made one thing clear at Tuesday’s game against Swansboro High School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune – they were ready to play. Within the first two minutes of the game, Chryssandra Tatum had blocked a shot by Swansboro, resulting in thunderous cheers around the Lejeune High School gymnasium. But, after a promising start, the Devil Pups backed off considerably, giving Swansboro a 12-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. At the start of the second quarter, Tatum sunk two free throws and went on to help her team score two more points. Shortly after, Chatori Major let a three-point shot loose, bringing the score to 1817, Swansboro. As the end of the first half neared, the Devil
Pups started to let their guard down again, resulting in Swansboro racking up seven more points before the half ended. “In the first half of the game, we came out a little slow,� said Assistant Coach Kevin Popadines. “We knew they could do better than they were if they just settled and calmed down a little bit.� Popadines’ prediction came true in the second half when the Devil Pups took to the court with a visibly new outlook on the game. With a strong start on the second half, the Devil Pups made back-to-back shots to narrow the margin between themselves and their opponents. In less than four minutes, the Devil Pups took control of the game, led by Tatum and Major, who continued to sink shots for their team. Major made five points in a row by shooting three times without missing the basket. From their seats on the sidelines, Popadines and Head Coach Debra Bryant watched intently, pointing and directing the athletes the best they could. “Chatori and Chryssandra had excellent offense tonight,� said Popadines. “They were really on it. Chatori is our leading scorer most of the time and she knows her stuff. Tonight, both
she and Chryssandra did a great job leading their teammates in the game.� Once the Devil Pups regained control of the lead, they refused to give it up. With consistent shooting, the Devil Pups overtook Swansboro at the end of the third quarter with a nine-point lead. Their stronghold continued into the fourth quarter, where they found their stride and sank more than five baskets, totaling 14 points. Swansboro’s attempts at reclaiming the game that had started out under their control were futile as the Devil Pups consistently played with the right mixture of speed and patience, driving home a 54-35 victory. “I was glad to see them show their real potential in the second half,� said Popadines. “They settled down, trusted each other and played like we knew they could. In the second half, I saw them stop trying to take the first shot and start looking for a better approach.� Popadines, who is in his first year coaching the Devil Pups, believes that their successful win against Swansboro proves that they have what it takes to compete. “We’re still young and the sky is the limit right now,� explained Photo by Jessie Heath Popadines. “We are still Chatori Major, center, keeps the ball away from a Swansboro rival during Lejeune High School’s varsity game, Tuesday, aboard Marine Corps Base SEE BASKETBALL 7B Camp Lejeune.

Masters of judo’s complex art form
Camp Lejeune Marine combats PTSD with martial arts JESSIE HEATH Sports editor
A
s a young man, retired Sergeant Major E.L.B. Mayfield wanted to be a great warfighter. After one year of college, he left his books behind to join the Marine Corps in the hopes of fulfilling his wish. Inspired by an All-Air Force judo champion, Mayfield began to study the art of judo and immerse himself in the martial arts lifestyle. The Marine Corps gave Mayfield the chance to further his study of judo and he became a hand-to-hand combat instructor before spending time in Vietnam, where he fulfilled his wish to become a warfighter. Following his time in Vietnam, Mayfield found himself reflecting on the things he had seen and needing some escape from his thoughts. It only seemed fitting to turn to the one thing he had passion for – judo. Now, Mayfield is using his passion for judo to help other Marines who search for the same peace he did. “I’m not sorry for the things I saw, but there are things that I regret happening during my deploy-
ments,” said Mayfield, now 71 years old. “It’s not that I’m sorry about anything at all, but rather that some thoughts just stick with you and won’t go away. Judo helps combat that and I want to teach others how to do the same thing.” And that is something Sgt. Glenn Rini of the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, is thankful for. “Growing up, I watched Bruce Lee movies and I wanted to be just like him,” explained Rini. “Obviously, my mom didn’t want me to get my face punched in, so I couldn’t be just like him, but I started learning judo and competed until I joined the Marines when I was 18. I stopped after that because I was busy being a young Marine.” After spending time in Iraq and the Mediterranean, Rini found himself missing judo. During a conversation with a friend, Mayfield’s name came up and Rini looked up the retired Marine to see if he offered classes. But, he never followed up on visiting Mayfield until he returned from Afghanistan in 2010. “After I returned, I started slipping as a person,” said Rini. “It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom that I started to get back in touch with one of the
two things that made me who I am today – judo. I showed up at Mayfield’s school and asked if I could mess around. And he said that was okay, so now I’m back.” Rini credits Mayfield and his love for judo for keeping him on the right path once he started to train and study under his instruction. “I came back from Operation Enduring Freedom and some of the things there left me anxious, angry, sleepless and very confused,” said Rini. “I came across Sgt Maj. Mayfield’s academy and now we are a team.” With similar experiences to draw and learn from, Mayfield’s 52 years of judo training were beneficial to Rini. Mayfield studied the physical side of judo, but also studied the philosophy and art form of it and became involved in every aspect of judo that he possibly could. When he met Rini, he began to impart what he knew to his new student. “For me, it wasn’t so much about the actual fighting, but about making me a better Marine,” said Mayfield. “I knew where I wanted to be and I got back up until I didn’t lose. That’s what I try to teach (Rini) when he comes to my school to work with me.”

Judo instructor and retired Sgt. Maj. E.L.B. Mayfield stands in front of medals he has won, at his Dojo in Jacksonville. When it came to fighting the thoughts that stayed with both men after their combat experiences, Mayfield saw that he could use his experience and knowledge to work with Rini. “For him, it’s just a case of running into the right person at the right time,” said Mayfield. “This guy is a winner and he doesn’t need to be bothered. For us guys who have post-traumatic stress disorder, we don’t need to be left completely alone, but we don’t need to be bothered all the time either. I get that.” As an instructor, Mayfield doesn’t cut Rini any slack when it comes to studying judo. He expects a lot of Rini and his other students, but does not ask anything that he would not be willing to do himself. And Rini, in turn, takes his advice and
instruction to heart. “He’s learned something about me that I didn’t even know about myself,” said Rini. “He knows that I need to wake up and pay attention before I fight, so he’ll make me. He get’s me ready – smacks me around a little bit, makes me stare at a wall and forces me to focus.” Mayfield modestly shrugs off his student’s appreciation. “He’s easy,” he said. “His parents did a good job raising him, so I don’t have to do it. He brings everything to the table and we don’t argue or bicker. As soon as I get him to focus on the game and stay in that place, mentally, he’s got a good fight. And when he’s able to stay mentally in the game, it puts the other thing to sleep for a while. Whatever ravages he sees
in his mind – they disappear for a while when he fights. I know. I’ve been there.” Mayfield and Rini both agree that an important part of fighting back against the things that ravage the mind is getting physical. “Part of therapy for (Rini) is getting on the mat and actually fighting,” said Mayfield. “He has to be physical, but he doesn’t need to be doing other stuff that would put him in danger or lead him down the wrong road. He’s just got to get on the mat. Look at him. It helps.” Judo is the only contested martial arts form in the Olympics and is on the top of the list for the world’s most popular sport, second only to soccer. SEE JUDO 7B

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. RUGBY FROM 1B world,” said Skordoulis. “The Inter-Service Championships is like playing in a division one college program.” Skordoulis, who has been coaching the Camp Lejeune Misfits’ between deployments since 2009, has a lot of pride in all the athletes he coaches. During his deployments, he passed off team-leadership to his players, who picked up where he left off and continued to work to better their team. “There is something to be said when you can pass off your team to players and have them pick it up and keep going,” said Skordoulis. “Especially with limited experience, it takes a lot of effort. We work around deployments and use a plug-and-play system. When half your team is gone, sometimes you have to get creative.” That creativity is exactly what Skordoulis and his All-Marine athletes took to Fort Benning, Ga. with them. Using the plug-and-play system, Skordoulis put players where they were needed, knowing that they were willing to play any position and open to learning what they did not know about the requirements of different positions. In addition to using five of his Misfits’ athletes in the All-Marine team pack, who use their size and strength to get the ball and move it toward the opposing goal-line, Skordoulis used one Misfit to play the scrum-half and one to play the fly-half. “In normal terms, the scrum-half is like the team quarterback,” explained Skordoulis. “The fly-half is like a first receiver. Both those guys came from (MCB) Camp Lejeune as well. The fly-half is really important to the team, because he decides where the ball goes.” With 15 players on the field at any given time, rugby can resemble chaos more than an organized sport. But, according to Skordoulis, the game can be learned quickly by anybody who is willing and eager. “You don’t need experience to be a good rugby player,” said Skordoulis. “None of my guys have years and years of experience and they are great players. All you need are cleats and a mouthpiece. Everything else can be taught. And, we always want new players to come join us.” Now that the Inter-Service Championships are over, Skordoulis and his other Misfits’ coach, Jim Kelley, are focused on finishing their regular season. With their seven All-Marine athletes back with the Misfits’ team, they are working on finishing their season strong. “We have a good team,” said Kelley. “We’re proud of them and the work they’ve done.” Currently, the Misfits are 5-0 in the fall season matches. They attended the Fallen Military Rugger tournament earlier this fall, where their record was 0-3 without the seven All-Marine athletes who were participating in the Inter-Service Championships at the time. “We have at least three or four matches at the tournament this weekend in Charleston, South Carolina,” said Skordoulis. “This weekend in Charleston will close out our season.” To add to their stronghold on their regular fall season, the Misfits’ recently defeated North Carolina State University 80-10 in Raleigh. They have won every other regular fall game by a margin of at least five points. The Camp Lejeune Misfits will finish their season at the Southern Classic Rugby Tournament in Charleston, Saturday.

BASKETBALL FROM 5B learning to be a team but we’ve had a strong season so far and I think that if they are willing to stick together, they will find they can do big things.” Lejeune High School principal Eric Steimel has a similar outlook for the women’s basketball team’s future. “They are doing pretty well this year and I’m very pleased with how well they played tonight,” said Steimel. “I sure hope they keep on this path. This is great.” As the Devil Pups look toward their next game, Popadines and Bryant are planning to work on two key things. “We need to rebound better,” said Popadines. “We need to stay patient on offense and rebound with control.” The Devil Pups will face off against Spring Creek tomorrow at 6 p.m. at Lejeune High School aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.
Editor’s note: For more information on the Camp Lejeune Misfits rugby team, visit www.mccslejeune. com/sports/LejeuneMisfits. JUDO FROM 6B “Everybody can do judo,” explained Rini. “Africa, Europe, Asia – even Iraq has a judo team.” Mayfield and Rini have no plans to stop training any time soon. Mayfield has big plans for his student and Rini plans to train hard to see what comes of his plans. “I’d like to go further, but we’ll see,” said Rini. “I’ve trained with some big names – world champions and bronze medalists. I don’t want to say I’ll definitely go to the Olympics or anything like that, but we’ll see. Maybe after my life calms down a little bit.” “I think he can if he gets the opportunity,” said Mayfield. “I want to see somebody from the military standing on the platform at the Olympic games, receiving the gold medal for judo. “I say 24 is young and he can do it if he wants to,” Mayfield continued. “He’s a Marine and that in itself gives him
a lifetime of more experience and expertise than any kid who has just been playing around in a school their whole life.” For now, though, Olympic plans aside, Rini and Mayfield will continue to focus on the value of judo in their lives. “If you don’t see it as having value, it doesn’t,” said Mayfield. “But, I think it’s the greatest thing since rye bread. I’ve stayed with it and it’s taken me a long ways. I focus on whoever comes through the door of my school - (Rini) or anyone else. As long as they see the value in judo and get something out of it, it is important.” Rini quietly agrees with his instructor. “There are two things that have made me who I am today,” said Rini. “The Marines Corps and judo. If I leave judo, I will start to slip away again and lose myself as a person. I’ve been there and I’m not going to do that to myself again.”

Marines are known to have an affinity for destruction. Whether it is in training or in a combat zone, Marines constantly come in contact with ammunition and explosives. Unfortunately, there are numerous examples of mishandled munitions resulting in injury or death. Department of Defense ammunition and explosives are designed to neutralize the enemy, but when not properly utilized and cared for, they can and will maim or kill service members. “During a return trip from (Operation Iraqi Freedom) a Marine assigned to Task Force Tarawa tried to bring back a sub-munition as a souvenir,” said Ralph Harris, an explosive safety specialist. “When he heard that a health and comfort inspection was going to be held, he tossed the sub-munition in a trash can. An unfortunate Marine that put a box in the trash can detonated the sub-munition, resulting in serious injury to that Marine.” Over the past year, Marines and sailors aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune have had a number of ammunition and explosive mishaps that is far too high. Following proper procedures could have prevented every single one of them.
“The main problem we’re having is that Marines are becoming complacent,” said Harris. “They are so used to being in combat environments and being around (ammunition and explosives) that they forget how dangerous it is.” Department of Defense munitions have multiple features designed into them to ensure the safety of operators and bystanders, but failure to treat them safely and follow established procedures overrides these safety features and frequently results in injuries, and occasionally death to Marines and sailors. Munitions accountability is paramount to ensure safety. Every Marine or sailor should ensure that all accounting procedures are followed whenever ammunition and explosives are used during training. Training accidents can be avoided by following a few simple guidelines: • When preparing the ammunition and explosives for use, don’t use unauthorized tools to open the boxes and containers. • Do not smoke within 50 feet of the ammunition and explosives. • Do not throw, toss or drag the ammunition and explosives. • Do not use radios, cell phones or other electronic emitters near ammunition and explosives that are electronically initiated.
• Never go down range into any impact areas. • Call “cease fire” when required. • Stop any unsafe training evolution or event. At the end of every training event, the range officer in charge should conduct a shakedown of personnel and equipment and perform a final inventory to returning munitions to the ammunition supply point and completing expenditure reports. Strict adherence to range regulations is also required to ensure safe training. Unexploded ordnance is also a very dangerous threat to Marines, sailors and civilians aboard any military installation. Unexploded ordnance are explosive munitions that did not explode when they were employed and still pose a risk of detonating. “You can never be too safe when handling (ammunition and explosives),” said Harris. “The cardinal rule is ‘expose the fewest number of people to the least amount of explosives for the shortest period of time.’ Although training is supposed to be realistic it is incumbent upon every Marine and sailor to ensure that safety is an important consideration in all training events.” When unexploded ordnance is encountered, the location should be immediately reported to the Provost Marshal’s Office or Range Control.

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America available for 21st century veterans CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
No matter what military occupational specialty an individual holds during deployment, he is ultimately impacted in one way or another by the stresses of war. Whether outside the wire or not, service members return home altered to some degree – unfortunately, some effects are worse than others. There are countless numbers of organizations dedicated to providing aid to veterans who reach out for help for combat’s negative effects of war. One such entity is the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America - the country’s first and largest nonprofit veterans organization dedicated to helping veterans of the 21st century conflicts. The organization was founded in 2004 by veterans of the Iraq War who were concerned about how the war and its returning service members were being portrayed by the media. From there, its mission has become a simple, yet all-encompassing one - addressing mental health injuries, a stretched Veterans Affairs system, inadequate health care for female veterans and GI Bill educational benefits. “They are all about taking care of America’s veterans and offering a wide variety of benefits for members, who can join for free,” said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Michael Hudson, instructor officer in charge for Maintenance Instructional Section, Motor Transport Maintenance Instructional Company, Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools. “One of the biggest things they do for the veterans is provide opportunities to attend recreational sporting events, such as a NASCAR race.” That is exactly the opportunity that Hudson and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Robert Ramsey, instructor officer in charge for Advanced Maintenance Instructional Section, Motor Transport Advanced Maintenance Instructional Company, MCCSSS, received as members of the IAVA. After signing up for a chance to the event, they were chosen and given tickets to the Wonderful Pistachios 400 race held Sept. 10 at the Richmond International Raceway in Virginia. There, Hudson, Ramsey, their families and other service members from across the country witnessed the racing exploits of such notables as Kurt Busch and Jeff Gordon. Additionally, 37 veteran members also rode in the back of the pace truck, each alongside a random driver – Hudson found himself riding with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. “Events such as this are definitely something to take advantage of if you are a member if the (IAVA),” said Hudson. “But underneath that, it extremely humbles you to know there are groups out there that will do this for veterans, even those who don’t come back injured.” Through partnerships with many large companies, IAVA is able to secure and provide to its members training opportunities as well as tickets to various sporting events and concerts, adding to its health and wellness capabilities for the veterans. “These organizations are established to help those coming back who may not want to seek help through their command for fear of how they might be seen,” said Ramsey. “These groups offer so many different things to the veterans, yet out of all the veterans, only a fraction is aware of such groups and the help they offer.” More than two million Americans have deployed overseas to Iraq or Afghanistan since the dawn of the country’s Middle Eastern involvement, yet IAVA itself only has approximately 200,000 veteran members and civilian supporters. “If you qualify for benefits, at least look into them to see if they will benefit you,” said Hudson. “These groups aren’t here to make money off you or gain recognition. They’re here to help the men and women who have come back and might need some help.” No matter what physical or mental impacts may have been incurred from one’s deployment, they are never alone when returning home. Countless nonprofit organizations have stood up for the men and women in uniform, and the least that can be done is to look at how they could help someone.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Every week, throughout Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, there is a unit conducting training in the field, be it squad movements or setting up command posts. Stating the obvious, Marines cannot effectively train without gear, so wherever there is training, there is always equipment brought along – and left behind. Some of this equipment, which can include barbed wire, concertina wire, trip wire and the-ever handy 550 cord, is not always brought back from the field. While many Marines always try to leave a place cleaner than when they first arrived, sometimes they become complacent and discard equipment in the woods, leaving it for the next unit, or just forgetting about it. “About two or three years ago, we did a survey of (MCB) Camp Lejeune and marked areas containing discarded wires and hazards so Marines and hunters going through would be aware of those obstacles,� said Paul Boniface, the chief conservation law enforcement officer with the MCB Camp Lejeune Conservation Department. “Unfortunately, there is a lot of trash out there.� Cleanup events, like Operation Cleanup, helps to rid some of the trash, but it is nearly impossible to remove decades-old wires and trash that have been covered by shrubs or bogged down by rain and mud. Another problem the Conservation Office and Range Control face are illegal dump sites. Throughout Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the Verona Loop and the Greater Sandy Run area, Marines and civilians alike
use the ranges and open fields to get rid of their trash. “We’ve found washers and dryers, couches, canoes, flame lockers, batteries, gallons of oil, rims, doors off of humvees and even cars just discarded,� said Boniface. “Sometimes they leave some evidence and we find the owners. They can either get a littering citation along with an off-roading ticket, or we can have them go back and pick up their trash.� Some things, like concertina and trip wire, can be difficult to remove. To help mitigate injuries reserved, the area is marked to warn passersby of the danger. Not only can Marines and hunters get trapped by wires, animals are just as vulnerable. Recently, a deer was caught on 550 cord that a unit left behind. “Sometimes we get calls, but more often, we find the skulls wrapped around wires and cords,� said Boniface. Debris discarded aboard the base can also pose a problem to the environment, as well. Chemicals can seep into the ground and cause damage to the soil which in turn affects the plants and animals which rely on the vegetation for food. Over time, if more debris is dumped on base and no one is there to clean it up, the base would not be far from becoming a military dump. “People need to pick up after themselves,� said Boniface. “Every piece picked up makes a difference, be it ammunition cans or leftover (meals-ready-to-eat). It prevents animals from hurting themselves, protects hunters from getting caught in wires and makes the base a better place for everyone.�

A deer is caught in a tangled mess of 550 chord left behind by Marines after a training exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Debris left behind, be it concertina wire, ammunition cans, Meals-Ready-To-Eat bags and other items can pose a hazard not only to wildlife, but other service members who may use the same area for training in the near future. HIKE FROM 1C “We met Gen. (Carl) Mundy in Waynesville at a Marine Corps League function one night,� said Sgt. Andrew Liming, an instructor with Company E. “Then, from places like someone’s house to a town winery, we stopped and talked with everyone, sharing stories and making friends.� During the hike, the Marines were not left to their own efforts to brave the 1,000 miles of varying ecosystems and climates. From word-of-mouth and widespread distribution of the hike’s information, the Marines were lauded with professional hiking equipment, donated by a variety of sporting wear outlets. From $175 pairs of boots, $25 pairs of socks and custom-fitted hiking packs, Fortunate Sons hit the trail with not only a confident mind, but also with the gear to back up the motivation. “We were able to see virtually every aspect of North Carolina, but that trail was no joke,� said Johnson. “One day we were going up cliffs with 100-foot drops right next, and another day we walked into a clearing with a herd of elk grazing not three yards
away from us.� However, the Marines collectively agreed that the main focus of the hike, as well as the most beneficial aspect, were the people that came out to show their support, even if just to render a greeting. With the hike completed and the message of the Semper Fi Fund spread, the Marines of Fortunate Sons do not look at this event as a fun break from the norm, but something that has immense potential to become an annual occurrence for a variety of charities. “It is never a bad thing to support Marine Corps-related charities, but being Marines does not prevent us from focusing our efforts to outside organizations, such as the Make a Wish Foundation,� said Greenlief. One thousand miles might have seemed like a monumental task in the beginning, but after accomplishing their goal as well as laying possible groundwork for the future, the Marines of Company E are not only training the junior Marines of the Infantry Training Battalion, but also aiding those less fortunate who might not even wear the uniform of the Marine Corps.

USO serves Thanksgiving meal to Marines AMY BINKLEY

very holiday has a purpose. People celebrate love on Valentine’s Day, freedom on the Fourth of July and everything that glitters and shines on Christmas. However, as the years go on, it is on Thanksgiving that people celebrate what is most important – family. Service members may know the sting of being away from those they care about during the holiday season, but they received a taste of home as they were served traditional Thanksgiving meals at the USO of North Carolina Jacksonville Center, Nov. 24. “They can feel at home on Thanksgiving even though they’re far away,” said retired Gunnery Sgt. John Ferguson. “I’m just one Marine giving back to others. It’s what we do.” Guests lined up and waited their turns for turkey, dressing and all the trimmings, made from scratch by volunteers who started cooking before the sun rose. “(The Marines) can come out and enjoy some really good food,” said Deb Fisher,
director of the USO of N.C. Jacksonville Center. “It’s all made from scratch.” While most of the meals were served on site, around 500 were delivered to service members who were working aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River. “Some people are going out as a family (to deliver meals) and really enjoy it,” explained Marisa Reeder, assistant director for the local USO. “There are so many dimensions to this event. It’s chaotic but in a good way.” More than 100 volunteers, including many retired or active-duty service members, unselfishly gave their time and seized the opportunity to give back. “It’s the right thing to do – it’s Thanksgiving,” said Sgt. Chris Hoffer, Combat Logistics Regiment, 2nd Marine Logistics Group. Reeder noted that many of them make the annual celebration a tradition. “All together we’re able to feed a lot of people,” Reeder said. SEE THANKSGIVING 7D

Marines enjoy time with their fellow brothers-in-arms while eating Thanksgiving favorites like turkey, mashed potatoes and a variety of desserts at the annual holiday event at the USO of North Carolina Jacksonville Center, Nov. 24. Many of the service members were celebrating their first Thanksgiving away from their families and were thankful to be a part of the Marine Corps family and a community that welcomes them with open arms.

‘The Big Year’ confirms comedy can be clean Now playing at Camp Lejeune “THE BIG YEAR” (PG) “The Big Year” is a sweet comedy about three avid birdwatchers competing to spot the rarest birds in North America at a prestigious annual event. The three eccentric but friendly and mildmannered rivals abandon their lives for an entire year to hop around the country, seeing who can spot the most species. The characters embark on this year-long adventure to change their lives and win the world’s most prestigious bird-watching competition are portrayed by: Steve Martin (“The Pink Panther,” “Father of the Bride”) as Stu Preissler, a rich and charismatic businessman planning his retirement; Jack Black (“Year One,” “Kung Fu Panda”) as Brad Harris, a down in the dumps divorced computer whiz, who is using up his credit cards to crisscross the country; and Owen Wilson (“Marley & Me,” “Couples Retreat”) as Kenny Bostik, a successful contractor and the defending past champion. The extraordinary race becomes a transformative journey for the three obsessive ‘birders,’ while racing across the continent on a whirlwind competition to see who can spot the most species of bird within on calendar year. The star studded veteran cast also includes
Brian Dennehy (“The Next Three Days”) as Raymond, Brad’s father; Anjelica Huston (“50/50”) as Annie Auklet; Dianne Wiest (“Rabbit Hole”) as Brenda; JoBeth Williams (“In the Land of Woman”) as Edith, Stu’s wife; Rosamund Pike (“Fracture”) as Jessica, Kenny’s wife; Rashida Jones (“Our Idiot Brother”) as Ellie; and Corbin Bernsen (“Paid”) as Gil Gordon. David Frankel (“Marley & Me,” “The Devil Wears Prada”) directed this feature film about competitive bird watching, inspired by the 2004 award-winning nonfiction book by Mark Obmascik, about an annual competition to spot the most bird species in North America in 12 months. “The Big Year” is an original, mature and refreshingly clean comedy, an amusing low-key human tale about three guys who bond while watching rare birds, and who, during the course of their wild, ultra competitive adventure, learn that there just may be other things more important than winning. Now playing in Jacksonville “THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 1” (PG-13) “Breaking Dawn-Part 1” continues the tale of “The Twilight Saga,” with the entire cast of actors back in place.

The Lejeune High School Project Graduation Committee aims to raise more than $13,000 to provide for the high school seniors’ pre-graduation celebration. The committee is ran by LHS seniors and the school’s parent teacher organization. Last year, the seniors spent time at Mac Daddy’s and the Tarawa Terrace pool aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area.

T
he Lejeune High School Project Graduation Committee aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is setting their fundraising expectations high for this year’s seniors pre-graduation celebration next June. Every year, the committee works hard to raise money for seniors to have an amazing pre-graduation celebration. The day right before the “big day,” the committee holds a group of events for the seniors to partake in to spend the last time with their 12th grade class. The idea behind Project Graduation originated in the 1980s in Oxford Hills, Maine. Before a high school graduation in 1979, eight seniors from Oxford Hills High School perished in a car accident. They were celebrating by taking a drunken joyride, but their actions cost them their lives. The intent of project graduation, according to www.maine.gov, is to provide a drug and alcohol-free environment, while using the event as a medium to increase awareness about drinking and drugging while driving and to prevent drug and alcohol highway related crashes. The committee isn’t run by the school but rather its seniors and the parent teacher organization. The LHS Project Graduation Committee Chair Darlene Johnson supervises and operates fundraising events for the committee. She said though most project graduations happen after the graduation itself, LHS will hold its celebration the night prior. “Our seniors are unique,” Johnson noted. “Not only have they spent their life being educated from kindergarten to 12th grade, but they made it while being a military child.” She explained how their lives have not always been the easiest with deploy-

ments and moving away from their family and friends. “We as parents, not only want to show them we are proud of them for their education accomplishments, but to show them we are proud of their life’s accomplishments,” Johnson said. Students are able to volunteer in these fundraising events and have fun while doing it with their senior class. “This will be the last time the seniors will be together,” said Eva DeBakey, the committee fundraising chair. Last year, seniors went to Mac Daddy’s and a viewed a movie at the Tarawa Terrace pool, aboard the MCB Camp Lejeune housing area. Prizes, such as laptops, Xbox 360 game consoles, stereo system and iPods, among other items, were given away. The committee wants to ensure that events and games like this come to make the last day before graduation memorable. “The Project Graduation goal this year is (to raise) $13,000,” says Johnson. Recently, committee members, along with student volunteers, participated in fundraisers and bake sales at the school’s football homecoming game, the homecoming dance and even the recent Halloween Terror Town. “We’ll also do car washes, breakfast for Valentine’s Day, and (there is) more being planned,” added Johnson. The committee wants this to be the most memorable and safe night for the seniors of 2012. “We always stress to the seniors because we are a military base school this will be the last time they will ever be able to be together as a whole class to celebrate their accomplishments,” explained Johnson. “This event is a drug and alcohol-free celebration, and our goal is for them to celebrate in a safe way by providing a fun-filled night before their departure into the world ahead of them.” Though students volunteer to help
the committee, more help is welcome. “To get the word out to our seniors’ families about our fundraising events, they need to know our contact information and find a way to help,” Johnson said. “Even though we love our children, we also know our children do not always tell us what is going on in their teenage lives, even if it is benefitting them.” The committee welcomes any form of donations, from money to goods like food, laptops, televisions or other items.
“We wish to give a huge thank you so far to all the seniors and parents who have donated their time and efforts in making our goal,” said Johnson. “We have much more to accomplish.” Donations can be sent to Lejeune High School Project Graduation, at the 835 Stone Street, Camp Lejeune, NC, 28547. To volunteer for the event, e-mail LHSPTO@gmail.com. For more information, call 750-0705.

When doors opened for Black Friday, mobs of people swarmed the shelves and rushed to grab merchandise, most of which will be gifts for Christmas. Buying gifts may have been difficult, but for some, the challenge lies in wrapping and decorating presents. For patrons aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, the Christmas Card workshop hosted by Marine Corps Community Services at Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard the base offered guidance on crafting gift card holders and gift tags to perk up

the presents. “This is a way for people to put themselves into the gift,” said AnneMarie Wiley, the instructor for the workshop. The event was free to all authorized patrons and crafting supplies were also provided. “I prepare the supplies to help make the crafting easier,” said Wiley. “Some of the participants say they don’t have any artistic talent or skill, but many of them proved themselves wrong. They do all the crafting on their own and bring out their activity.” Wiley had pre-cut paper with score lines to help guide participants through the crafting. She also offered different stamp designs, paper
colors and ribbons. Crafters personalized gift tags with their own designs. The group attending the workshop immersed themselves with their projects. Their eyes were glued to their creations. Everyone was focused and the room was silenced, except for the snipping scissors and the shuffling from people finding their next decorative item. “I really like this program because it gives kids who are a little bit older a chance to work together and it gets them motivated and excited for Christmas,” said Jill Gibler, a military spouse attending the workshop with her daughters. “This was also a way for us to learn about the other
programs that the library offers.” Cookies and beverages were offered to participants, but they seemed to be untouched and forgotten as participants became immersed in their creations. Wiley offered two onehour-workshops that day, both of which were full. “I enjoy watching the teens put their own spin on the basic project that I start them with,” said Wiley. “They’re taking the projects and they’re running with it. This is a hobby that I enjoy partaking, and to be able to share it with others is awesome.” For more information, call 451-3026 or visit www.mccslejeune.com.

In celebration of National Month of the Military Family, the Marine Corps Family Team Building mission was showcased during a Resource Arsenal workshop held at the Ball Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune with information to help the families of service members, recently. The official observance was established in 1993 by Armed Services YMCA, with the U.S. government recognizing the occasion every year since. Every November, Americans are called on to honor military families through private action and public service for the contributions they make in support of service members. ASYMCA celebrates the month to demonstrate the nation’s support and commitment to the families of military personnel. “With hundreds of thousands of service members deployed overseas, recognizing the daily sacrifices made by military families have never been more important,” according to the ASYMCA website. Representatives from Young Moms Connect, Harriotte B. Smith Library, Blue Star Families, Marine Corps K-12 school liaison, Marine Corps Community Services Commercial Sponsorship Program and the Marine Corps Exchange attended the forum to show off the multiple resources each of them offer to families aboard the base. The workshop was available to service members, their families, family readiness officers and other resource providers. One of the newest resources offered to the families of service members is a program called Young Moms Connect, of the Onslow County Partnership for Children, which provides support services to young pregnant and parenting women and works to improve community conditions for young families. “While the program is called Young Moms Connect, the services we provide are also available to single young fathers as well,” said Jessica Huff, parent specialist with Young Moms Connect. The program is committed to the educational success of young parents, children who are safe, nurtured and supported in their development, the health of parents and children, including prenatal health, and the success and self-sufficiency of families. Services available include free resource center membership, assistance with childcare fees, assistance in paying for continuing education classes at Coastal Carolina Community College and transportation assistance through Onslow United Transit. “The best part about Young Moms Connect is that parents can participate in as much or as little of the program as they want,” said Huff. “Some people take advantage of our program solely for the purpose of financial aid, while others take advantage of every service we offer.”

Occupy Thanksgiving Ever since Santa Claus became a window display and Rudolph became commercial gold, the national holiday was doomed.
New to Me with Amy Binkley Carolina Living editor
I want to occupy Thanksgiving. Anybody with me? Sure, the holiday was a week ago, and I don’t fully understand the occupying craze, but if it means that the turkey eating extravaganza will finally get the credit it’s due, I say we go for it. Thanksgiving has been getting a bum rap for years. Ever since Santa Claus became a window display and Rudolph became commercial gold, the national holiday was doomed. Charlie Brown best captured the diminishing respect in his Thanksgiving special when he said, “We’ve got another holiday to worry about.” I used to think that way too, Chuck. Once upon a time, I thought the day was nothing more than an excuse to celebrate overeating, enjoy a three-day weekend and catch discount deals for Christmas presents. It meant my mom cooking my great-grandmother’s rolls, seeing the side of
the family that sometimes came to dinner in their hunting camouflage and trying to figure out which cousins are new and which ones I just didn’t recognize from the previous year. In short, I didn’t really care about it. Apathy is a soul-killer, folks. Getting older has a way of opening our eyes to things we were blind to when we were children, and it wasn’t until I experienced my first Thanksgiving away from my family that I realized its importance. Suddenly, I found myself missing being in charge of the relish tray, squeezing 50 people into a two-bedroom house and the thick Southern accents of my relatives that would require an interpreter for anyone not raised near Big Boy Junction. Yes, that’s a real place. Don’t judge. Being surrounded by a community of military personnel, I know I’m only preaching to the choir. I’m sure most of you have your own stories of when you finally understood the real meaning behind Thanksgiving. You have probably missed more
turkey days than you can remember. You’ve started your own traditions, and if you’re anything like me, many holidays are spent with the friend-family you’ve created rather than your DNA-family. But for those of you who are new to this whole scene, let me explain something to you. Thanksgiving is more than just a day. It’s a lifestyle. In the cynical world we live in, learning to have an attitude of gratitude can be just as hard as learning Mandarin Chinese, but if you could grasp the unending supply of things to be thankful for, I think you could put Rosetta Stone out of business. Some things are easy to be grateful for. I’m sure no one would give up their barracks room for a cardboard box or the chow hall meals for something found in the trash. Family, friends and health all rank at the top of most people’s lists. Service members and their families, however, have the opportunity to practice gratitude at a higher level than others. They are thankful
THANKSGIVING FROM 1D “We’re able to serve (the Marines) for a day.” Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, Marine Corps Installations East commanding general, stood at the door shaking hands with the visitors and talking with the young Marines. On the front lines, Sgt. Maj. Grant VanOostrom and retired Sgt. Maj. Michael Cline served favorites like mashed potatoes and corn onto plates while greeting each service member who came through the line. “Being a career Marine, I know that someone has to be away from home,” noted VanOostrom. “If we can be a small part of bringing home to them, it’s worth it.” His family got in on the action as well with his daughter happily bringing desserts to the tables. “It’s a lot of fun,” she said. Cline was thankful to be a part of several service members’ holiday. “This is the most awesome time of year when we can feed a multitude of troops who can’t be home,” he commented. “Everyone enjoys a piece of home. It’s a joy.” Marines took advantage of the hometown feeling and got comfortable, watching football games and taking naps after their big meals. “It’s nice to be able to sit down, talk and eat with other Marines, veterans and supporters,” said Pvt. Joe Chagnon. Giving may be better than receiving, but volunteers weren’t the only ones being blessed.

“This is my first time away from family – it’s a new experience for me,” said Pvt. David Ramirez. “Being here today, I’m seeing another side. The Marines are my new family.” Pfc. Zach Patrick agreed with his comrade. “The Marine Corps is my second family,” he commented. “I get to spend time with my brothers and sisters.” Today’s technology helped keep loved ones close as Marines sent text messages and made phone calls to people back home. “I wish I could be with my family, but I came here to remind myself we’re doing something to protect the country,” Pvt. Yeriel Alicea confessed. “We’re thankful for this opportunity, and everything people have given today.” The gratefulness of the fresh-faced service members stirred the hearts of many of the volunteers, including Carol Goodman, a military parent. “I’m so proud of our Marine Corps,” she said. “They give more than I could ever give.” Goodman admitted that, as a mother of a service member, she hurts for their families, but she is extremely thankful for all they sacrifice. “They don’t look like they’re old enough to go to war,” she noted. “I want to hug every one of them. If I was sore from hugs, that’d be okay.” Their hearts may have been miles away, but this Thanksgiving, thanks to a caring community, many Marines were able to feel at home.

Life is filled with trials and tribulations. Whether it is due to health issues, family problems, relationship breakups or financial difficulties, we all are going to one day face our share of struggles. The outcome of these struggles depends on how we choose to handle them and the effect they take on our lives. We all deal with life situations differently. However, we all share a common ground. Our lives are being altered by the things we have been comfortable with before the fact. For some, the effects can be devastating and hard to bear, causing some serious complications. Usually under conditions like these, our first reaction is to panic, especially if we have no other avenues of finding help during such troublesome events. After some time of continued trouble, fear and anxiety become the norm. At this point we begin to lose focus of the main situation and become less hopeful about our life’s purpose. We begin to make poor life decisions and sometimes go to the extent of blaming God for forsaking us in our times of need. The question we have to ask is did we really trust God in the first place? Depending upon our answer, we could either find our solution or continue life without purpose. Scripture teaches us in Matthew 19:26, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Life, family, friends, wealth and everything else has been granted to us by God. We should never come to a place in our lives where we feel any situation is too hard to talk over with God. We ought to be able to come to a place within ourselves where our love and belief in God isn’t a struggle, but a way of life.

every time the phone rings because few things are sweeter than hearing their loved one’s voice on the other end. They are thankful for technology that allows them to see and talk to their service member even if he or she is on the other side of the globe. They are thankful that no news is good news and that buses keep bringing people home. A lifestyle of thanksgiving may not be as hard as you think. The key is to take a step back from your busyness, take a look at the big picture and allow life’s blessings instead of its hardships overwhelm you. A simple ‘thank you’ is more powerful than the most complicated complaint. I’m grateful for all of our service members who voluntarily put themselves in harm’s way and miss countless celebrations with their families and friends. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough. This holiday season, don’t miss an opportunity to give thanks, and remember, Santa only comes once a year. Gratitude can last a lifetime.
