Sergeant Roger F.W. Dyer is excited.

“I’ve been in (the Marine Corps) since 2007,” said Dyer. “And never once have I been deployed with the (amphibious assault vehicles) in an operational environment.”

Dyer is an AAV maintenance chief with third platoon, Company D, 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. He and the rest of his 36-man platoon will deploy with AAVs and put them to good use when Africa Partnership Station 2012 kicks off this summer.

Dyer recently returned from a deployment to landlocked Afghanistan, where he and the rest of his Marines spent their time on mounted and dismounted patrols with mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles.

As the Marine Corps prepares to leave Afghanistan in the future, Marines are returning to their amphibious roots, and that’s exactly what 2nd AA Battalion did when Company D spent March 19 through 22 conducting amphibious landing operations at Onslow Beach aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

The Marines took the opportunity to conduct ship-to-shore operations off USS Whidbey Island when the ship was travelling back to Norfolk, Va., from Savannah, Ga. Once a year, or twice if 2nd AA Battalion is lucky, a naval ship will sail the Atlantic Ocean conducting operations, and if the ship’s sched-

Captain Jose I. Colunga, Company D commanding officer, said 2nd AA Battalion takes advantage any time a ship is in the area, and the battalion literally drops its current plans to perfect their amphibious marksmanship. “(USS Whidbey Island) was on its way back from (off the coast of) Georgia, and we were notified by (2nd Marine Division) operations,” said Colunga. “They were more than willing (to accommodate) because we need to remain proficient in shipto-shore operations. The Navy also uses this as a training opportunity as well, because we can help them in their well-deck operations.”

third platoon commander, has been with 2nd AA Battalion for a year, and part of the week’s training was to certify platoon commanders in their ability to successfully conduct beach raids.

Tharp believed the training they received will better prepare the platoon to effectively work with African countries.

“This (training) is really the bread and butter of AAV operations,” said Tharp. “The whole point of AAVs is to conduct ship-to-shore (operations). When we don’t have ships, we take our vehicles out in the ocean and turn around, get in a formation, turn around and head back to assault the beach. This is good training.”

LONG-RANGE CONVOY: FIRST OF ITS KIND PAGE 4A

Consistency, safety key to 2nd Recon Battalion jumps

Their Israeli military uniforms are different from a U.S. Marine’s but their goals toward preparing troops for combat are similar.

March 13, Brig. Gen. Mickey Edelstein, chief of infantry and paratroopers, Israel Defense Force, came aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to witness a display of the Infantry Immersion Trainer – a facility built to prepare service members for Afghanistan.

After Edelstein was briefed on the center’s capabilities, Maj. Gen. W. Lee Miller Jr., (acting) commanding general of 2nd Marine Division, asked a Marine squad leader who recently went through the training to describe its value.

“How effective has this been for you all?” asked Miller.

“It’s a lot different. It’s a lot better out here. When something actually goes

boom it’s not going to physically hurt you but it’s not just a Marine saying, ‘Boom you’re down,’” said Sgt. Ryan M. Deis, a squad leader with 3rd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division.

“It gives the new guys that haven’t been to Afghanistan yet a good opportunity to see that there is literally a language barrier. Out there breeds a lot of individual action. When I went through yesterday I was swamped and that forced my team leaders and the individual Marines to put themselves in positions where they could better affect the squad. I’m not directly telling them, ‘Hey you go here. Hey you do that.’ It breeds a lot of individual action in there.”

Edelstein, Miller and trainers toured the facility and it appeared the structure possessed every piece of what one could expect of a deployed environment, such as dirt and gravel, signs in foreign languages, mud houses, and even a distinct fruity SEE GENERAL 3A

Free falling at 120 mph plus, a military free fallqualified Marine will experience mental stress - at least that’s what any reconnaissance Marine will tell you.

Once they’re in the air, the Marine has a job to do, to include implementing any emergency procedures, in case the parachute doesn’t deploy normally.

Four times a year, reconnaissance Marines with Company C, 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, much like any jump-qualified Marine, must conduct jumps to maintain proficiency and sustainment, but more importantly, to be ready for what could happen.

The training Company C, 2nd Recon Bn. conducted March 12 through 16 at the Greater Sandy Run Area’s Tactical Landing Zone Pheasant aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune wasn’t just about maintaining the status quo, however. There was a more distinct focus.

Whether it was Marines making their final jumps before attaching to the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit or prepping another select group of Marines for the 26th MEU’s deployment next year, the training was meant to work as a team once on ground.

The training included low-level static line and military free fall, that could implement both high altitude - low opening and high altitude high-opening jumps.

To prepare for the jumps, Marines had to go through eight hours refresher training which included mock jumps out of a makeshift aircraft, “parachute landing falls” in a sandpit, air movement maneuvers, triple gear checks – a long, tedious checklist. But, this checklist is meant to leave nothing to chance and mitigate the risks utilizing the operational risk management process.

Gunnery Sgt. Brad Dean, operations chief for Company C, 2nd Recon Bn., said the week’s training was about getting back in the saddle as a team, not individually. The 17-year recon veteran takes these opportunities to incorporate more training, while keeping Marines proficient.

Some of the things Dean wanted to accomplish was to get Marines to link up once on the ground, then bury their parachutes to leave no trace of insertion.

“This week was (the right time) to get the Marines, who are going out on the MEU’s, as proficient as possible,” said Dean. “Once they go out, it’s just them.

They have their (para)chutes with them and they will be either training other countries’ forces or conducting operations.

“Granted, a lot of what we are doing this week is refresher training. We need to start from the beginning before we can get to that point of jumping out of planes and landing together as a team,” Dean went on to explain.

The first two training days were merged into one; Company C cancelled day two due to a rainy forecast.

The recon Marines had performed at least three jumps each, which is unusual, said Gunnery Sgt. Jason M. Elson, the paraloft chief for 2nd Recon Battalion. He said the norm is about two per jump evolution.

“We knew we wouldn’t have been able to get the jumps in (the next day) because of the rain,” said Dean. “The (Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266, Marine Aircraft Group 26) really hooked us up today.

They gave us three birds for (most of the day) and one stayed with us until we were finished.”

On March 14 and 15, the Marines conducted night jumps fromUH-1Y Huey helicopters from Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 167, MAG 29.

By M.S. Archer

The Kill Box, learn your rights Who would want to put a device into their car whose intended purpose is to render the vehicle completely inoperable? Your car dealer, that’s who, especially if it is a small, buy-here, pay-here dealer.

A vehicle starter interrupt device, also known as the “kill box,” allows a lender to remotely incapacitate a vehicle in the event of the buyer’s default. Couple the kill box with a hidden GPS tracker and the lender knows exactly where to send the repo man to take away your now inoperable car.

No warrant, no court order, no police escort required. Nor are there extensive licensing requirements or prohibitions to being a repo man; a convicted felon can do it. Some lenders think this system benefits everyone, not only making repossession efficient and inexpensive, but also allowing lenders to make loans that would otherwise be considered too risky.

But there are very serious issues for the consumer.

First of all, when he pushes the kill button, the creditor will not know, and may not even care, what your circumstances are. The creditor may therefore strand you at a remote campsite or in a dangerous neighborhood where you stopped just to get gas. You may be prevented from driving to get emergency medical treatment.

Second, the creditor’s records may be incorrect. Bureaucracies frequently get things wrong. It is an

everyday, commonplace occurrence.

Why would we expect auto finance companies to be any different? With this new technology and little, if any, checks on its use, lender errors will result in dead cars and stranded debtors.

Third, the kill box may be installed improperly, causing other problems with the electrical system. Worse, you may find that mechanics refuse to repair or remove the kill box, because it is the property of the lender, or because they are unwilling to do anything that affects the lender’s interest in the vehicle.

Fourth, auto dealers may be installing these devices without the voluntary consent of the debtor. If the dealer claims that you need to return to the dealership for installation of a kill box, check the bill of sale and the loan agreements. You’ll have to read some very fine print, but unless the contract says a kill box will be installed, there is no requirement to do so. If the dealer or lender nonetheless insists that you return for such installation, contact your legal assistance attorney, the military liaison of the consumer affairs section of the North Carolina Attorney General, or the theft and licensing bureau of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles.

It is possible that your contract says that the loan is contingent on the lender obtaining adequate financing. The lender may thereafter claim

that he needs a kill box installed to get such financing. Such a provision does not require you to have a kill box installed. That’s a decision for you to make; have the kill box installed due to lender assertions that he can’t get financing without one, or don’t get the kill box installed. Ultimately, if the condition, finding adequate financing, is not met, the contract is cancelled. Under the circumstances, contract cancellation may not be a bad thing. You’ll have to return the car, but you should get back any down payment and you won’t be stuck with any contract.

Finally, these interrupt devices may serve to motivate some auto dealers to make loans to borrowers who cannot possibly repay them. Such auto dealers are essentially in the finance and repo business, not in the auto sales business. They make their money by selling, and then repossessing, the same car over and over again.

If the loan says that you need a kill box installed as a condition of obtaining credit, you probably should go elsewhere. Such a requirement is a good indication that (a) you may be obtaining a loan that is just too expensive for you and (b) you may be obtaining a loan from a very difficult lender. Go elsewhere for a car loan. Military borrowers are especially encouraged to go to their bank or credit union for loan pre-approval before setting foot into the car dealership.

Hospital Point recreation area closed for construction A new waterline project involving drilling at Hospital Point, previously scheduled to begin Monday, March 19, is now scheduled to take place from April 2 to 13. Due to the construction, the Marine Corps Community Services’ recreational area at that location will be closed during this time period.

Noise impact caused by the drilling will be minimal but noticeable, and there will be no impact on water services aboard the base.

2nd Marine Division prepares to celebrate Easter LANCE CPL. JAMES FRAZER 2nd Marine Division

The 2nd Marine Division will be hosting an Eggstravaganza from 1 to 4 p.m. March 31 at W.P.T Hill Field aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to celebrate the Easter holiday with division Marines, sailors and their families.

Those in attendance will have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious and free lunch while participating in a number of crafts and games with the whole family.

“There are going to be four Easter bunny mascots and a walk-around Elmo from Sesame Street helping us get 12,500 candy-filled eggs to the chil-

dren,” said Ann Morey, the 2nd Marine Division family readiness officer. “They’ll be available during the entire event for pictures with the families.”

Some of the crafts and games will include egg spoon races and sack races where racers can win sweets like one of the 62 dozen cupcakes, 1,600 snack cakes and 500 popcorn balls that will be given away during the event.

There will also be coloring, bunny mask and Easter basket creation stations, and six inflatable bounce houses.

“We’ve talked to the chaplains about getting us a beautiful, sunny Saturday afternoon, and they told us they’ll do their best,” joked Morey. “The only things families need to bring are

GENERAL FROM 1A smell in the atmosphere.

Midway through their tour of the structure, Edelstein paused to speak. “Are they challenged with ethics?” Edelstein asked.

Vince Soto, a site lead at the Infantry Immersion Trainer explained that Marines are challenged to make decisions that could possibly affect their entire unit and are not only corrected when making a bad tactical decision but shown where they succeed as well.

“You have prepared a very good learning experience where they have to adapt to a situation,” concluded Edelstein.

As the tour continued, trainers explained the facility has 176 cameras recording all scenarios the Marines are put through. The film is used to evaluate the training after it is conducted.

To further show what happens in the IIT, Soto played a video clip showing a scenario of an Afghan role-player trying to plant an improvised explosive device near Marines.

“Squads say that this is the best training they’ve received,” said Soto, a retired staff noncommissioned officer. “Every one of us (involved with the training) are retired with combat deployments. There’s no greater satisfaction than looking at the level of training these guys are getting and the feedback we get from them.”

themselves and a camera. There will be an exceptional family member area so the entire family can still enjoy the event. Pets are not allowed at the event, but service animals are safe to bring.”

This will be the third year the 2nd Marine Division will host the Eggstravaganza, and it is expected to be the biggest turnout yet, with space and food ready to serve anywhere from 3,000 to 3,500 people.

For many of the Marines and sailors who will be attending, this will be one of the first opportunities they’ve had to enjoy a free holiday lunch with their families since recently returning from a yearlong deployment to Afghanistan.

AAV FROM 1A Only third platoon will go on deployment to Africa, but Tharp said this is training that all AAV crewman need to have.

“We can only take a certain amount of Marines on APS (2012),” Tharp added. “Everyone needs to stay proficient.”

The Marines began the training by conducting water integrity checks to ensure the vehicle is completely sealed.

Then, one by one, all 15 AAVs sailed for an hour to USS Whidbey Island four miles out.

The Marines worked with the Navy to conduct well-deck operations for an hour before heading back to the shore.

Let the raid begin.

Tharp described the raid as a “center beach on time” operation. The AAVs are massed into a tactical formation,

spanning the distance of a football field between each vehicle, more or less. He said the vehicles needed to be in the right sequence and have a lane that had been cleared to hit the “exact location at the exact right time” off a moving ship.

“We will have Marines from (5th Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment) with us as our (ground combat element), as well as other countries’ soldiers (during Africa Partnership Station 2012),” Tharp added. “When I mention center beach on time, that’s exactly how it needs to be. We are not doing just one or two raids this week. We are doing as many as the Navy will allow us to do.

“We are mechanizing the ground element, so we have to be precise,” added Tharp.

Jerry Fortenberry, the paraloft platoon sergeant with Headquarters and Service Company, 2nd Recon Bn., said the training is not just a “check in the box” for the Marines – it’s for Marines’ safety.

“Before they can get in the bird and jump, they have to go through three hours of sustainment training, within 24 hours of operations,” Fortenberry said. “If they don’t hit all of the performance requirments, they have to go through an eight-hour refresher. This is all to make sure they know the ins and outs. We have Marines fresh out of (U.S Army Airborne School in Fort Benning, Ga.), and the things that they are

even though it’s not in a combat environment, needless to say, he said he’s looking forward to be doing what he’s been trained to do.

“This will be a break from kinetic activity we took in Afghanistan,” said Dyer. “Even though we’re going to be training (with) other countries’ militaries, really, this is going to be a training tool for us. I’m definitely looking forward to it.”

Africa Partnership Station 2012 is part of an ongoing international effort to assist African nations to improve maritime safety and security. The security cooperation initiative, now in its fifth year, is aimed at strengthening global maritime partnerships through training and collaborative activities in order to improve maritime safety and security in Africa, according to the U.S. Africa Command website.

taught can be lost quickly. This is important stuff.

“It’s not like going to the rifle range where you point at a target and shoot. We are up in the air. They need to know that the smallest thing can have drastic effects, such as not listening to a jump master when he tells you, to ‘hold’ because you’re at a low altitude, which won’t be very forgiving.”

“Parachuting is a highly perishable skill. Each and every parachute qualified Marine is encouraged to maintain their qualifications,” according to Elson.

Marines and sailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group line up their trucks prior to re-fueling at the start of a long-range convoy in Wilmington, March 12. The troops drove more than 1,000 miles during a six-day exercise in order to test the battalion’s mission essential tasks, which consisted of basic warrior skills, recovery procedures, distribution and repairs, as well as evacuation techniques and motor vehicle operations.

Long-range convoy is first of its kind CPL. BRUNO J. BEGO 2nd Marine Logistics Group

Nearly 60 Marines and sailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, conducted a first of its kind, multistate, long-range convoy, March 12 through 17.

The purpose of the exercise was to test the battalion’s mission readiness, which consisted of basic warrior skills, recovery procedures, distribution and equipment repairs, as well as evacuation techniques and motor vehicle operations.

“The idea came up last summer while we were still in Afghanistan,” explained Lt. Col. Michael E. McWilliams, the CLB-8 commanding officer. “We were talking about how we can approach training and start to prepare our Marines for convoy operations.”

The battalion was tasked months later with transporting gear to Marine Depot Maintenance Command, Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, Ga., for repairs. Leadership viewed the mission as the perfect venue to hone their convoy skills.

“We took that opportunity to integrate training into a real-life mission,” McWilliams said. “This is the first time CLB-8 has done a convoy training exercise of this magnitude.”

The troops drove more than 300 miles to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, S.C., to visit their fellow logistics Marines with Combat Logistics Company 23 during day one of the sixday exercise.

“I think that stop in Beaufort gave the (Marines and sailors who participated in the convoy) an idea of

what other Marines in the MLG are doing,” McWilliams said.

After the visit they drove to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., where they spent the night.

The convoy continued their journey the next morning with a 250 mile drive to Albany, Ga., where they spent the next day loading and off-loading gear.

Day four was an early day for the Marines and sailors who woke up before sunrise to continue their route to Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum at Charleston Harbor, S.C. While there, the troops exhibited their vehicles and gear to the public, and talked to visitors.

“I think this exercise was a great opportunity to see where we are at as far as combat readiness goes,” said Cpl. Benjamin C. Christopher, a motor vehicle operator with CLB-8.

“We had the chance to make sure everybody was doing their job correctly.”

Each individual had the opportunity to do a different job each day during the convoy.

“We kept rotating during the exercise,” Christopher added. “I think every single person got something out of this exercise.

“Some of us had to drive a certain number of miles for licensing purposes. Others had the chance to talk on the radios and command a vehicle,” he said.

“Everybody received some experience training, which is going to help them during future operations.”

Division Marine selected as Jacksonville Military Affairs Committee’s Marine of the Month CPL. CLAYTON VONDERAHE

2nd Marine Division

The Jacksonville-Onslow Military Affairs Committee recognized a 2nd Marine Division Marine as the Marine of the Month for March during a ceremony at the Camp Lejeune Officers’ Club, March 19.

Sergeant John Margaritondo was selected as the Marine of the Month for his overall performance and proficiency in his duties as the platoon sergeant for weapons platoon, Company K, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment.

“Over the past four years, I’ve seen a good portion of the world. I’ve fed starving kids in third-world countries, and I have fought

with some of the best men I’ll ever know in combat,” said Margaritondo. “Today I’m just honored to receive this award, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the right mentors.”

Margaritondo’s leadership regards his devotion to the Corps highly and spoke to the assembly about his position in the platoon.

“The role of platoon sergeant is normally held by a seasoned gunnery sergeant,” said 1st Lt. Grant Hundley, weapons platoon commander.

“Sergeant Margaritondo was not only successfully holding a billet of platoon sergeant, but he was excelling at it.”

According to Hundley, Margaritondo’s initiative and resourcefulness were key to his selection for

Honor flights in need of sponsorship

Ret. Col. Paul O’Toole, president of the Camp Lejeune Military Retiree Council, is the local coordinator of an Honor Flight, preparing to take World War II veterans and their escorts to Washington, D.C., to visit the World War II Memorial.

The Honor Flights have been going from around the country ferrying the WWII veterans since May 2005.

The flight cost for the veteran is sponsored and free to them with the only cost placed on the accompanying attendant at $250. Some of the veteran are ambulatory and some require assistance with wheelchairs that will be provided. Last year I was fortunate enough to be at the WWII Memorial with the family, when three busloads of WWII vets pulled up after arriving on an Honor Flight.

There were volunteers to assist and show them around the expansive memorial. It brings tears to your eyes when you see the expression and emotion so prevalent on their faces when they view the legacy of their war. I will never forget it as long as I live.

The sad fact is that we had 16.5 million veterans from WWII, with only 1.7 million still alive.

Statistics indicate we only will lose 250,000 WWII veterans a year. We owe this “greatest generation” this opportunity to see a beautiful memorial dedicated to their sacrifice and challenge. It was late in being built and so many missed the honor, but we have a chance to do the right thing now. So let us get together and help find these deserving WWII veterans and get them on this Honor Flight. If you know a WWII veteran or you would be willing to be an escort and pay $250 for the flight, call the Retired Activities office at 451-0287, Col. O’Toole at 346-6016 or John Cooney at 455-1353 and let’s make it happen.

Important event: There will be a military retiree/family member/widow Town Hall Meeting in Jacksonville, at the DAV Hall, 300 Sherwood Drive, at 10 a.m. July 21. We will be discussing a large TRICARE cost raise and the proposal to offset VA disability with Social Security. The naval hospital commanding officer and the TRICARE representative will be there. A Marine Corps Community Services representative is invited also, along with a representative from each of our congressional representatives.

this honor.

“I cannot begin to list the amount of times that his level of initiative has impressed me or even left me awestruck,” said Hundley to the committee members as well as fellow Marines from the company.

The committee has presented the monthly award for more than 30 years, according to Bob Dupois, the chairman of military affairs with the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce.

Of the 12 monthly recipients, one of them will be chosen as Service Member of the Year.

“It’s things like this Photo by Cpl. Clayton VonDerAhe that make us realize that there are people out there Sergeant John Margaritondo sits in attendance as the guest of honor to be who actually care,” said awarded the Marine of the Month award by the Jacksonville-Onslow Military Affairs Committee, March 19.

Pinfish, blowfish, mullet make early spring arrival

Carolina anglers, rejoice. The water is warming rapidly and is now at a constant 60 degrees Fahrenheit. With the increase in temperatures, the pinfish population has exploded off the North Carolina coast and anglers are pulling them in like there is no tomorrow.

Last season, experienced anglers had to work for their pinfish catches.

Many anglers, experienced and novice, never saw a pinfish grace their hooks. For the first time in 20 years, the pinfish eluded the North Carolina coast. We were well into the summer months before they started to show up on the piers.

The long, bitterly cold winter we endured kept waters too cold for many spring fish in 2011, but 2012 has proven to be the opposite and fish are making an early entrance.

This could be cause for concern if the water and air temperatures plummet, freezing a lot of the spring fish. We will have to wait and see what

happens in the coming weeks.

With sightings of pinfish also come sightings of other early spring fish. The puffer fish and sea mullet bite has picked up in the last three weeks. All three of these fish are making appearances both on the piers and on the surf. Anglers are also catching flounder and trout, along with a myriad of other fish.

With the arrival of spring fish, the piers have been increasingly active.

Bogue Pier has been full of happy anglers, who have been filling their coolers with sea mullet and puffers. There have also been reports of black drum, speckled trout and flounder. Bogue Pier has also seen the occasional bluefish, though most are still too small to keep.

Fort Macon, Iron Steamer, Indian Beach and the Black Skimmer Road vehicle access have also reported catches of small bluefish, scattered between catches of pinfish, flounder, mullet and pufferfish.

The Cape Lookout Rock Jetty continues to be a good place to catch red and black drum. The end of the jetty, near the deeper waters, has recently been a favorite spot of anglers looking to catch sea mullet.

Anglers at the Dead Tree Hole, Beaufort

Inlet and Morehead Port turning basin have been reeling in sea mullet, grey trout and flounder as well.

Anglers who are looking for a different catch should head out to the Lookout Shoals area, where redfish are booming. Both catch and release fish and keepers are being caught with ease.

In the creeks and sounds, there are still a few speckled trout swimming around, looking for a good meal. Although many have vacated the creeks for their summer homes, the offshore trout should be returning shortly.

There are quiet a few red drum scattered in the creeks and marshes.

Areas like Middle Marsh, the Haystacks and the marshes behind Bear Island are where anglers have had the most luck finding drum and the few remaining trout.

When it comes to offshore fishing, the reports have been pouring in all week. Many anglers seized the opportunity to get out to deeper waters while the weather was calm. Gaffer dolphin, wahoo, blackfin tuna, yellowfin tuna and sailfish are all biting with vigor.

Anglers with the most success reported making their way to the Big Rock area and the Swansboro Hole.

There have also been large schools of menhaden spotted offshore recently. These schools attract cobia and king mackerel. In 2011, with

the cool waters, North Carolina anglers struggled to catch mackerel.

Hopefully, anglers will see the arrival of the cobia and king mackerel soon.

Finally, the Coast Guard is offering another round of boating safety classes. This one-day seminar will take place April 21. The seminar will meet the North Carolina State boater safety education requirements for boaters under 26 operating vessels. This course is very well planned and highly recommended, and will take place at the Emerald Isle Coast Guard Station. There is a registration and class fee of $25 per person.

A Global Positioning System for Mariners class will be held April 28. The half-day seminar provides an introduction to using the GPS navigational systems for recreational boating. Participants should bring their own handheld GPS. This class will be held at the Emerald Isle Coast Guard Station. The cost of this class is $30. Additional family members may attend the course for an addition $10.

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. For more information on the boater safety and the GPS for Mariners courses, call 252-393-2436.

Saints fans wait to see how team will recover from gaffe

Last week was a bad weekend to be a New Orleans’ Saints fan.

While the rest of the world was concerned about which National Football League team Peyton Manning would choose and where Tim Tebow would end up, Saints fans were dealing with their own personal crisis - a suspended coach, a rough start to the season and lots of questions.

When the news broke that the New Orleans’ Saints head coach, Sean Payton, would be suspended for all of next season, and that general manager Mickey Loomis would be suspended for half the season, Saints fans were up in arms, ready to defend their team and questioning what led to the suspensions.

Upon learning that the Saints were involved in a crush-for-cash bounty system, in which players were encouraged to harm other teams in an attempt to bully their way to the top, team fans were shocked. By the end of the week, the list of teammates and coaches involved in the bounty system grew to include defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and at least 12 defensive players.

Now that the investigation into the Saints’ illegal payout system has turned to focus on the teammates who involved themselves in the illegal bounty program, sports fans have started to question the integrity of a coaching staff who would allow and encourage such Matt Pasco, Chief Warrant OfďŹ cer 2, and his daughter Delilah, a St. Jude patient

events to take place, and why more athletes did not step up to bring the situation to light.

There is no denying that the relationship between athletes and their coaches is unique.

When you practice, eat, live and travel with one group of people, they become like a second family. The relationships between players and coaches can become so comfortable with each other that the professional ties are easily broken.

However, when the bonds that bind are broken in such a way that player safety and health are disregarded, the relationship goes from comfortable to potentially lethal.

It’s shocking that a coach would deliberately pressure his athletes to endanger the safety of other players. More than anything, it is extremely disappointing that players accepted and encouraged this coaching method.

With professional teams under a microscope, it is essential that athletes and coaches remember who they represent. Coaches represent the team they lead, as well as the fan base their team has built. They are the faces on the sidelines - the people athletes look to in times of trouble. When the coach is the one causing the problem, where else can an athlete turn?

Of course, the coaches are not the only members of this guilty party. Every athlete involved must shoulder some of the blame.

Every player who accepted the cash payoff for attempting to injure other athletes represents another disappointed fan who expected more from the team they rooted for than what they were served.

Every athlete wants to win. A big part of being a professional athlete is winning. It provides job security, pay raises and endorsement

deals - nobody wants their product endorsed by an athlete who has no merit to his name. However, an equally big part of being an athlete or coach for a professional team is understanding the scrutiny and fishbowl lifestyle associated with public recognition.

Our society recognizes more harm than good. We thrust blunders and mess-ups into the spotlight and let the highlights take a backseat. When a professional team with such a large fan base is thrown into the spotlight for a lessthan-stellar reason, they must be prepared to deal with the fallout.

While the Saints try to recover from this blow to their team, they have to start asking the difficult questions.

Should Sean Payton be allowed to return to the team? Will his return do more harm than good?

Can fans really support a coaching staff, general manager or any of the players involved, knowing that they sank below the belt to try to reel in wins? What will it take for this team to recover from their gaffe?

While the Saints have been silent since the news of their scandal broke a few weeks ago, making only one short statement, it is only a matter of time before they have to make another statement and start clean-up efforts.

When they do begin to rebuild their trust and standing in the NFL community, I hope they recognize the importance of standing together as a team. As the Saints prepare for their upcoming season, my hope is that they understand the significance of the damage that has been done.

Now that the defamation of character is complete, the Saints have to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, get back in the saddle, and prove that they are worth more than the scandal they are dealing with right now.

I

t takes great determination and bravery to take the first steps outside of your comfort zone.

Trying something new, with no idea of whether you will be able to accomplish your goal or not, means accepting the fact that you might fail.

You might be very bad at whatever you try.

Then again, you might be great at it.

A group of adventurous women decided to explore the world beyond their realm of comfort, Saturday. They plucked up their courage, picked up their bows and arrows, and took aim at learning a new skill set.

Meeting at the Outdoor Adventures office

aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday morning, eight female patrons took the first steps toward learning something new. Targets had been prepared, bows had been tightened and arrows had been selected for the first Women in the Wilderness event - an archery class.

Designed specifically by women, for women, the program is aimed at providing female patrons with the opportunity to live an active, outdoor lifestyle.

The chance to enjoy outdoor sports and recreational activities in an all-female setting also provides a safety zone for women who might otherwise be too timid to learn new skills.

Led by recreation specialist Marybeth Lemaire

and recreation assistant Gabby Higgins, the all-female archery class started their day inside the Outdoor Adventures office, where they spent some time getting to know each other and getting comfortable with the other members of their group.

“We’ll be spending a lot of time together today, so let’s go ahead, get comfortable and get to know each other now,” suggested Higgins as she introduced an ice breaker, two truths and a lie, to the group.

The ice breaker was a smashing success and laughter echoed around the room as the group of women introduced themselves. The fun continued while Higgins and Lemaire introduced the class concepts and

showed the group the bows and arrows they would be using during the day.

Before going outside to try their hand at shooting, the class reviewed basic range safety. They discussed the importance of handling the equipment with care, always walking on the range and never drawing the bow unless preparing to shoot at a target.

“I know it seems basic, but we go over it because we’ve never had an accident and we don’t really want to start now,” explained Lemaire. “We really don’t want to send anybody home with an arrow in them.”

Higgins introduced the compound bow, which would be the first bow the archers would use during Saturday’s class.

She named the parts of the bow and explained the terminology she and Lemaire would use when the group went outside to shoot.

Outside, standing on the small hill behind the Outdoor Adventures office, the archers had their first opportunity to test what they had learned.

They practiced proper stance and shooting methods with resistance bands. Correcting their arm movements as they practiced, Lemaire and Higgins offered advice on how to shoot a straight arrow and hold a steady bow.

“Don’t let yourself lean too far forward or back,” said Lemaire. “If you do, your arrow will go in a different direction than you want. If you stay straight, like a T, you

stand a better chance of shooting straight.”

After everyone had practiced with the resistance bands, it was finally time to get their hands on a bow. The archers split into two groups and took turns approaching the shooting line, where they would receive oneon-one instruction during their first attempt to SEE ARCHERY 7B Swansboro Moose Lodge 161 Norris Road Swansboro, NC 910-326-5259

Lejeune Bombers baseball hits grand slam with pre-season games, workouts JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

The crack of a bat resounds around the baseball fields at Tarawa Terrace. Shouts echo and a cheer follows as a member of the Lejeune Bombers baseball team catches the pop fly in his glove with ease.

It’s just practice, but that doesn’t stop these athletes from taking themselves seriously.

While they crack jokes and laugh with each other as they lace up their cleats and put on their batting gloves, the second they step on the field, they are all business.

While they are still in their pre-season workout phase, the Lejeune Bombers have already played two pre-season games, leaving the field as winners both times. In their first pre-season game against the Jacksonville Warriors, the Bombers won 19-1. They traveled to Wilmington last Sunday to face the River Rats and won 6-4, after coming back from a four point deficit.

“We’re doing pretty well for the start of the season,” said Sgt. Christopher Goodroe, the head coach for the Lejeune Bombers. “We’re two and zero before the season even starts. That’s not a bad way to start off.”

Sunday’s game proved to the Bombers that they are capable of stepping up to the plate and turning games around, even when the odds are not in their favor.

“We were down zero to four in the first inning,” said Goodroe.

“But, we had a two-run home run by Alex Fox

and that gave us the momentum we needed to get back in the game. With Trevor Kean, who started pitching, Richard Cymek and Zack Koehler coming in after him, we were able to get control of the game and stay ahead.”

Goodroe, who has never coached before, saw the need for a baseball coach for the varsity team and decided that he was going to be the one to fill the position. He approached sports coordinator Nicole Turner about the position. With the help of assistant coaches Alex Fox and Blake Lang, the baseball team was up and running in a few weeks.

“I played outfield in high school and played in Maryland on recruit-

ing, and (Fox and Lang) both played on the team last year,” explained Goodroe. “Together, we just kind of decided that we were going to take charge and make sure we had a good season.”

Team tryouts ran the last week of February, with interested athletes trying out for positions and showing off their hitting and fielding skills. In order to be as competitive as the teams they would face, the Bombers’ coaching staff put all their players into different positions, testing to see who worked best where.

“We just put everyone Photos by Jessie Heath through every position (Top) Members of the Lejeune Bombers varsity baseball team practice a and it somehow just precision hitting drill during a practice at the baseball fields on Tarawa worked itself out that we Terrace aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area.

BASEBALL FROM 4B found strengths for everyone on the team,” said Goodroe.

As soon as tryouts were complete and the team roster had been finalized, pre-season practices and game preparation began.

On a regular Monday during their pre-season practices, the Bombers dedicate themselves to fielding. They start as a team, fielding balls from the outfield and infield, throwing them to whichever base is called out while the ball is in the air.

Wednesday’s practices are dedicated to batting and situational training.

“Once the season begins, we’ll shape practice a little differently, depending on our games and what we see that we need to work on,” said Goodroe. “But for now, with the two practices a week, we focus on certain things on certain days.”

With the start of the regular season set for April 15, the members of

the Lejeune Bombers are looking forward to playing other teams in their league and proving that the Marine Corps can compete.

The Bombers are prepared to play two home games and two away games every month during the regular season.

They will also take part in several tournaments and non-conference games.

“Nicole helps us with all our scheduling,” said Goodroe. “We’re also hoping to play the Morehead City Marlins this year.

“We’re also working on going to New York to play some colleges and we’re looking at a few tournaments, but we’ll have to wait and see if we can do that,” added Goodroe.

As a team in the Carolina Mens League conference, the Lejeune Bombers have a name to uphold. In 2011, they ended the season with 16 wins, according to the league website, and were

the winners of their division. In 2012, they have their eyes set on a conference win and are out to prove that they are just as fierce a team as the others in their league.

“My hope for this team is that we can win the mens conference and give the Marine Corps a good name,” said Goodroe.

“I want people to see that we have good athletes,” he continued. “We have a talented team and we can play ball with the best of them.”

In addition to playing a successful season, Goodroe and the Lejeune Bombers are hoping to showcase their talents to the general public and catch the eye of the local community.

“We have guys on this team who could definitely go on to play (in college),” said Goodroe.

“We need the exposure.”

Cyclists save money while working out LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

While some commuters suffer through traffic on their journey to and from work, others see the commute as an opportunity to get healthy exercise and see the world from outside the confines of a car. Bicyclists take a mundane chore and turn it into an economical alternative to driving to work, and at the same time, an opportunity to

get in shape.

“As the weather gets warmer, more and more people are riding their bicycles onto (Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune),” said Ron Sarmento, the deputy safety manager with Base Safety aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

There are many things to consider while traveling on a bicycle and with the recent construction aboard the base, there are a few challenges to the commute. Regardless of the obstacles they may

face, for many the commute is well worth it.

Traveling on a bicycle means that exercise is infused into one’s dayto-day routine. It saves cyclists a great deal of money in gasoline and vehicle maintenance.

While transportation is responsible for nearly 80 percent of carbon monoxide and 55 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions in the U.S., according to the Environmental Protection Agency, cycling does not cause any air pollution.

There are some pitfalls

A participant keeps her eye on the target while recreation assistant Gabby Higgins watches her release her arrow during the Women in the Wilderness archery class aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday. The Women in the Wilderness program provides female patrons with the opportunity to meet other women who share their interests in outdoor activities.

ARCHERY FROM 3B shoot a live arrow at a target. Coaxed through the sudden onset of nerves at the idea of being the only shooter to miss the target, each woman was assured that she would have many attempts to improve her aim throughout the day.

At the shooting line, each archer took their time moving through the 10 steps of archery with Higgins and Lemaire.

They assumed the proper stance, placed and set the arrow, lifted the bow, drew the string back, anchored their hold on the string, transferred their weight to balance the bow, aimed the arrow, released the string and followed through with their release by drawing their arm straight back.

“You may start doing these steps and find that one doesn’t work for you,” Higgins told each archer she worked with. “Just make the adjustments you need to.

Find how to center your weight and aim your bow. It might be slightly different than the textbook definition.”

While they waited for their turn to shoot, the participants mimicked

the 10 steps of archery and talked to one another about why they had decided to attend the class.

Some joined the archery class with the intent of picking up a new hobby.

Others just wanted the opportunity to meet other women who had the same interest.

For Debra Mouisset, the archery class offered the chance to see if she was any good at archery before pursuing it as a hobby.

“It’s interesting to me and it always has been,” said Mouisset. “However, it is expensive and I wanted to see if I was any good before I decided to run out and start trying on my own.”

The archery class also provided Mouisset with a rare chance to surround herself with women.

“Everyday life on a military base is always mixed company,” explained Mouisset, who is living with her daughter and son-in-law, both active-duty Marines, and helping take care of her granddaughter. “I like the idea of this being all women. There’s a different camaraderie to a class like this. It’s more relaxed and it gives

women something that is just for them. That’s rare and unique.”

Of course, a unique women-only class is exactly what Women in the Wilderness is about.

Lemaire has planned several events for the series, all aimed specifically at meeting the needs and desires of women on base. If the program is successful, she hopes to start a teen-only and male-only programs, providing different outlets for all patrons.

“A program like this can be a big deal here and it is a really enjoyable opportunity for us,” said Mouisset. “I wanted to come to the first program, but it got cancelled. I’m hoping to come to more events like this and meet some other women. We’ll just have to wait and see.”

The next Women in the Wilderness event is an overnight camping trip. Interested participants should sign up with the Outdoor Adventures office before April 20.

to avoid while cycling on base. For instance, while aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, bikers should ride in the multi-use lanes which border most roads. Due to construction, some of the multi-use lanes are blocked or obstructed.

“Some riders drift out toward the road to bypass construction,” said Sarmento. “It exposes them to hazards on the road.”

Sarmento feels that the safest and most effective way to pass the obstacles is to dismount and to walk the bicycle around

the hazard; however, he has hopes that cyclists will have a section on the road to call their own in the future.

“We’re proposing a dedicated bike lane,” said Sarmento.

He feels that bicyclists often face dangers from drivers who do not respect the laws that state a bicycle is a vehicle with equal claim to the road.

A dedicated bike lane will give cyclist a safe to place to ride. Sarmento says that most bicyclists on base follow regulations

PRESS FROM 1B involved from there.” Thurston plans, coordinates and manages the bench press competitions, drawing interest from patrons of all ages. She coordinates participants based on their weight class and keeps track of their weightlifting attempts during the competition.

Participants are divided into one of four main categories before the start of each competition. Men and women under the age of 35 are separated into their separate weight classes. Participants over the age of 35 are placed in the masters’ category and then separated by weight.

Regardless of their class, each participant is given three chances to showcase their bench-press abilities. They can start at any weight they choose for their first lift. After they complete their first lift, they can choose to stay at the same weight or lift more in the second and third rounds. To keep track of who lifts what, Thurston manages a spreadsheet during the competition. After each lift, patrons must tell her what they plan to lift next.

Increasingly popular among activeduty Marines and their dependents, the bench-press competition gives patrons the opportunity to experience something new.

“Marines are tactical athletes,” explained Thurston. “They have a love for competing. Most athletes participate in a sport because they feel that love for competition. This gives patrons the chance to come out and enjoy a competition, while also working toward progressing their abilities to lift in the next competition.”

While Thurston wants participants to enjoy their time together, there are rules and regulations that must be followed to ensure safety. The benchpress competition follows the rules set forth by the International Powerlifting Federation.

According to IPF rules, bench-press competitors must lift the bar off the rest and lower it to their chest at the command of the referee. The bar must remain motionless until the referee gives the decree to “press.” Upon permission from the referee, the competitor should push the lift up until the arms and straight and elbows locked.

As soon as the lift is complete, the competitor places the weight back on the rest and takes a break while they prepare for their second lift. Should a participant be unable to complete their lift, the referee will call on assistance from spotters to make sure the participant is not injured.

“We don’t want anybody to get hurt, so we have to make sure we follow guidelines,” said Thurston. “Following the IPF also helps to prepare any weight lifters who might want to compete in a different competition one day down the road.”

For Lance Cpl. Jordan Charmoines, the bench-press competition offered the opportunity to try something new and experience a weightlifting competition. Charmoines started his first lift at 225 lbs., with the hopes of accomplished a 350 lb. lift by the end of the competition.

“The technique of touching my chest is new to me, but I like it,” said

Charmoines. “While it’s a challenge to make the switch to a new technique on the day of a competition, I’m doing this the right way and I think if I stay focused during my lifts, I’m going to do pretty well for my first time.”

Bobbi Maixner, a Marine wife who lifts almost every day, had the same approach as Charmoines when it came to trying something new.

“I thought it would be fun to try something I’ve never done before,” said Maixner. “It looked like fun and I’m always looking for new ways to stay active, so I thought I would give it a shot and come try my hand at actually competing in the competition.”

Maixner, who competed in the female masters’ division, completed her first lift at 65 lbs. With her son cheering her on from the stands, she increased her lift weight to 75 lbs. for her second lift and 85 lbs. for her third.

“It was nice to come out with my son to a new competition like this,” said Maixner. “I want him to see his parents trying new things. On the way over here, he asked me if I was afraid people would laugh at me if I couldn’t do it and I told him no. It was an added bonus to come with him today.”

Maixner was one of four women who attended the bench-press competition at French Creek, something that pleases Thurston and the Semper Fit staff, who actively seek women to compete in their bench-press competitions in hopes of breaking the stigma associated with women in the gym.

“We really like to promote the event to female patrons on base,” said Thurston. “I would love to see a large crowd, with lots of women in it, who are not caught up in the stigma of powerlifting.”

In the Women’s Division, Kristen Robinson placed first with a total normalized weight lift of 165 lbs. Mallorie Klejnowski came in second place for her lift of 115 lbs. In the Women’s Masters’ Division, Maixner won first place, with a total lift of 79 lbs.

In the Men’s Division, the top lifter was Preston Davis, who won with a lift of 460 lbs. Men’s Masters’ winner Bob Glincoski won the gold for his 225 lb. lift.

While no future bench-press competitions have been scheduled, Thurston and her team plan to hold more competitions and give patrons added opportunities to showcase their weightlifting abilities.

“We try to plan around other things,” said Thurston. “We are working on figuring out when the best time to plan another competition would be.

We don’t want to plan on the same day as a race or anything else, so we always try to pick a day in the middle of the week when we can draw a large crowd for a free competition.

“It’s important to plan our competitions on a day when participants can come out with their friends or families and cheer each other on as they build camaraderie,” Thurston added. “We try to make sure we don’t conflict with other things that people will want to take part in.”

and ride well. However, Sarmento cautions riders to be defensive and vigilant when on the road. “(Riding a bicycle to work) is one less vehicle that’s a hazard on the road,” said Sarmento.

“It’s one less vehicle pumping emissions. We highly encourage people to use a bicycle to come on base.”

CONSTRUCTION UPDATES

Lejeune Inn to receive major upgrades PVT. VICTOR BARRERA

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Since the construction of the Inn of the Corps, Lejeune Inn built in 1973 and a renovation in 1997, the temporary lodging facility aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has not seen any new improvements. That is all about to change with the threestep project currently underway.

The inn is slated to receive a new three-story building and a complete overhaul of the reception building and the two current resident buildings.

“We divided up the project into three phases, with the construction of the new 50 room, three-story building and reception center being the first phase,” said Mili Taliferro, the general manager for the inn. “The new hotel building will be a state-ofthe-art facility with brand new furniture and handicap-accessible rooms.”

Additionally, 35 of the new rooms will contain two queen-size beds. Extended-stay sites will be available for families who have received orders to a new duty station and are waiting for housing.

These sites will come complete with separate living spaces, full kitchen and a master bedroom equipped with a king-size bed.

The extended stay suites are available to everyone and can also be connected to a standard room via a door adjacent to it, which can turn the suite into a two-bedroom suite, added Taliferro. The currently existing buildings will receive one elevator as well.

Construction at the reception center will turn the small building into a magnificent building fully equipped with a guest lounge, fitness center, internet café, on-site bar and an extended breakfast accommodations.

“We currently serve continental breakfasts for our patrons but

Although just a pile of dirt and construction tools now, this will be the future location of 50 new temporary lodgings for the Inn of the Corps, Lejeune Inn. once the renovations are done, we will be able to provide hot breakfasts, which is complimentary,” said Taliferro. “We’re currently on track to have the first phase of this project completed

by June of next year.”

Phase two of the construction will focus on the two existing buildings. The phase will focus on one building at a time.

The reason for phasing out is to ensure rooms are available to our personnel on PCS and TAD orders and our leisure travelers,” said Taliferro. “Over the last decade, demand for guest rooms in the TLF has been extremely high and occupancy has an average of 96 percent.”

Culinary students from Lejeune High School stepped up to the plate and became state champions at the Carolina’s ProStart Invitational culinary competition in Charleston, S.C., recently, and are getting ready for the next level of competition.

High school students Kaylah Bruce, Sadarria Reeves, Christian Waterhouse, Telena Weber and Ja’Nai Thomas will be competing against more than 40 schools from across the nation, including teams from Guam, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, at the 11th annual National ProStart Invitational in Baltimore, April 27 to 29.

There, the team will have less than three hours to set up their cooking areas, showcase knife and production skills, cook, present and clean up their stations, all the while being thoroughly critiqued.

“These are high school kids, but when they judged them (at state), they judged as if they were adults in a business,” said Shirley Bryan, the Culinary Arts I and II teacher at LHS. “My philosophy is to not believe anything the judges say during the competition, especially if it sounds good. Sometimes they’ll say you did an outstanding job, but someone else still may have done better. Cooking is just like basketball: on any given day, any team can win. Our day was at (state) because they worked hard.”

Bryan said she had hoped that the team would come in third place or maybe second, but had no clue the team would become state champions.

Whether they win or lose, she says, as long as they work together, have fun and learn something, they are still winners.

“Leading up to this, the students in both of my classes had input on developing the entire menu,” said Bryan. “I allow all my students to choose what they want to do. If they succeed, that’s fine, and if they fail, that’s fine. But I always tell them you have to fail before you know what success is.”

Bryan added that LHS has taken first place three times before in the past five years, despite the fact that LHS is the smallest high school in North Carolina. On the other hand, LHS has the most students participating in its ProStart program in the state.

Since 2006, the high school has garnered a whopping $1.3 million in scholarships for the culinary department alone, which is second only to JROTC. “We take what we do very seriously and the other teachers are just as committed as I am,” said Bryan.

“We hope (the high school) keeps the program for a long time.”

Bryan, who always expects the best from her culinary classes, said that the win would probably not have been possible without the counsel of a friend in the culinary field, Chef Erik Lampe.

Chef Lampe, the executive chef with Marine Corps Community Services Clubs & Catering Division, became the high school team’s culinary mentor and was an integral part in the team’s training during the weeks leading up to the championships.

Lampe said the competition the students participated in would have challenged most any professional chefs, let alone high school students, due to the limited facilities and short preparation period involved.

“Having a background in some culinary competitions and just the nature of what I do for a living helped me work with the students and Shirley Bryan to see what was working and what wasn’t,” said Lampe. “When I first spoke with Shirley, I was really excited to help them as much as I could. But it had to be their ideas and backgrounds because that is the foundation for their menu. Now, they’re representing the school, (Marine Corps Base) Camp Lejeune and Eastern North Carolina.”

Lampe said the parameters of the competition were very strict so SEE CHAMPIONS 2C

Engineers turn barge into traditional mess night CPL. DAMANY S. COLEMAN Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Combat engineers use dozens of pieces of equipment, overseas or in garrison to carry out whatever construction and demolition missions they may be faced with. Some say they feel more comfortable manning heavy equipment than their own personal vehicles.

One of their more useful pieces of equipment are improved ribbon bridges. Flanked by two smaller bridge erection boats, the IRBs become expeditionary barges to carry personnel, cargo and even vehicles across bodies of water.

However, Marines with the

Marine Corps Combat Engineer School found a less operational and more romantic use for the IRB and held a traditional Marine Corps mess night aboard one, March 14.

“This summer, many people are leaving,” said Lt. Col. Jeffrey Miller, former engineer training battalion commander and guest of honor for the mess night. “It’s a big turnover year. If you talk to the older guys, this has happened every five years or so. It’s just a very engineer way of doing things.”

Capt. Nicole Barbaree, executive officer with the combat engineer instruction company, said she felt the mess night was very successful.

“This is actually the first mess

night that been conducted at Marine Corps Engineer School in years,” said Barbaree. “The last time we did a mess night was at battalion level on an (Improved Ribbon Bridge.) We just have a lot of turnover in our company, a new commanding officer, executive officer, first sergeant, master gunnery sergeant: pretty much a whole new staff. This was a great way for all of us to come together to say good-bye to the old staff and welcome the new staff in a truly ‘engineer’ fashion.”

Miller, who concluded the mess night with a traditional “guest of honor” speech, said he was overwhelmed when he heard he was requested as the guest of honor.

“To me, this is a great evening,” said Miller. “I graduated the engineer school 22 years ago this week, as a 2nd lieutenant and the world was a lot like it is now. Desert Storm started when I was here at engineer school but began to wind down. The Marine Corps was making cuts and funding was going away, just like it is today.”

Miller said with news of the war in Afghanistan ending relatively soon, the Marines they’re training may not be going there.

However, engineers will get back to their roots in building schools, clinics, wells and other humanitarian structures as opposed to operational structures for war.

“Take a look at what we’re doing right now,” said Miller. “You

think anywhere else in the world, there’s bunch of people having a good time floating around on an assault bridging raft, drinking beer and smoking cigars? Where else does that happen? As you look back at all the things you did in the Marine Corps – a little horror, a whole lot of boredom – you find out that you’ve had a life that’s more special than anyone else. Your learning objective for my period of instruction is ‘Carpe Cervices,’ which translates to seize the beer, but doesn’t mean go out and get drunk. It means that when you’re given a great and glorious opportunity, take advantage of it. Every one of you should enjoy it while you have it and think aback on times like this.”

Re-issue facility helps units LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

People will stand in line for hours to get a bargain. But bargains don’t get much better than free, and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Hazardous Material Re-issue Facility will soon have some seriously good deals for units.

The re-issue facility previously provided an outlet for unused materials, but halted due to a civilian hiring freeze, said Anthony Recob, head of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Section, Environmental Management Division, aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.

RCRS personnel receive materials used by base units and determine if they can still be put to further use. They don’t want to see the materials put in the landfill, said Recob. If there is still life in the materials, the re-issue facility can make it possible for other units to pick it up and put it to use. Products that are no longer usable go through the disposal process needed for hazardous materials.

The re-issue facility met with success in the past and saved around $427,000 in re-issued hazardous materials in 2011, said Recob. When the facility reopens, units will be able to obtain hazardous materials like cleaners, paint and batteries among other products from the facility.

Preparations are being made to reopen the facility, which will be located in building 1606 aboard the base. A new employee is currently training to run the warehouse, and the products will be made available when the re-issue facility reopens.

“We just had a unit turn in 30,000 batteries of all different kinds, makes and sizes,” remarked Recob. “If they still have shelf life or we can extend the shelf life, they’ll go up to (building) 1606.”

Recob added that people should look at the re-issue facility as a first stop. Instead of going to ServMart, they can get materials they need for free. Units should look at purchasing new materials after they have taken their list of needs to the re-issue facility and checked off items there. It can save the unit

There wasn’t much room for failure and points could easily be deducted by the judges.

However, the advantages brought by the re-issue facility do come with some costs. Improper resource management led to the surplus of materials in the first place, which in turn required further efforts for proper disposal.

“The first step is to reduce waste at the source,” said Recob. “We have a re-issue department because there are too many people mismanaging hazardous materials.”

The priority should be the proper management of resources, said Recob. The re-issue facility can help people and units save money, but efforts should be made to reduce usage and waste.

Reduce, reuse, recycle is the green order of the day. Products that don’t make it into those categories go through disposal, which costs money.

“Buy what you need, use what you buy,” said Recob, adding, “Don’t spend your excess operational funds buying hazmat, buy something else with it.”

weeks before, they really came a long way.

Their success is really evident by how serious they took it and how hard they worked at it.”

Lampe said the team also did a great job juggling their other academic and scholastic commitments. Anyone who has heard of their recent success and knows of the adversity they faced should definitely be proud of them.

“Now it’s time to take it to nationals,” said Lampe. “The competition will be stiffer, the judging perhaps a little more critical, but regardless of the outcome, it will be a lasting experience they will remember and benefit from in the years ahead.”

INN FROM 1C Each existing building will be gutted and construction personnel will replace everything in the room to make it look brand new. Carpets, drapes, sheets and other items will all be replaced. The two buildings will also receive elevators.

“Because we are adding more rooms to the inn we want to ensure that all the rooms have new furnishings, everything from the carpet to duvets,” said Taliferro. “We want to provide top quality service across the board, not just in the new building.”

While construction is underway, Taliferro asks patrons to excuse the mess as Marine Corps Community Services beautifies the temporary lodging facility.

Once all of the construction is completed, patrons can look forward to 140 rooms that are all upgraded and exceed industry standards.

“The 50-room addition, subsequent expansion of the guest public areas and renovation plans of the existing 90 guest rooms will surely coronate The Lejeune Inn as a crown jewel in the Inns of the Corps portfolio,” said Pomeroy.

The project costs $12.9 million all of which is funded by non-appropriated funds, money that the local MCCS has earned through their programs and services.

“Our aim is to transform the Lejeune Inn from a 1970’s-era temporary lodging facility to the pride and joy of the family of Inns of the Corps—the absolute brand standard of lodging excellence: the best accommodations, the best amenities and, above all else, the very best, most attentive, customer service Marine Corpswide,” said Ric Pomeroy, branch head for the Food and Hospitality Division, Semper Fit and Exchange Services Division, Headquarters United States Marine Corps.

Service members and their families may register to view specific units. eMarine provides families and units with any information the units’ FRO has available, including upcoming events, jobs and other resources.

Customized vehicles flaunted at car, truck, bike show PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Car enthusiasts customize vehicles of all types and sizes, new and old, creating uniquely individualized mechanical works of art. With variety comes the opportunity to compare and compete to determine whose mobile masterpieces are the best.

Service members and patrons had the opportunity to enter their beautified vehicles in a friendly competition during the National Speed Show and Shine car, truck and bike show, hosted by Midway Park Community Center, Marine Corps Community Services, at Midway Park aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, March 24.

Registration was $5 per vehicle, and participants had a chance to win trophies for People’s Choice, Best Engine, Best Paint, Best Interior, Best Bike and Top 25. Participants also received prize drawing tickets, and spectators received drawing tickets for separate prizes.

The 70 patrons who registered for

the event brought an array of vehicles ranging from classic domestics, such as the 1967 El Camino to new imports, such as the 2009 Nissan 350z.

National Speed sponsored the event.

“They brought a team of eight and they were up in the cars and talking to everyone,” said Victoria Braggiotti, a recreational specialist with MCCS. “They enjoyed the event as much as we did and were really nice.

They were really just there because they have a passion for the cars and the service members.”

National Speed provided approximately $2,500 in supplies for the event including trophies, T-shirts and dash plates, and approximately $3,000 went to prize giveaways, which included gift cards, free dynos, an exhaust system and an air-intake.

“For those that received prizes like the exhaust and intake, (National Speed) will actually come pick up the vehicles that they will work on and load them onto a trailer and turn them free of charge,” said Braggiotti.

Participants that received the car

parts were happy that they wouldn’t have to drive their vehicles down to National Speed shop in Wilmington, N.C., and they were evenmore pleased with the fact that their vehicles would be put in trailers. The company wanted to give the participants their full service and support to show their appreciation to the service members and families, noted Braggriotti.

She said the importance of having these events is to give them something to do as a family, and it helps to bring the community together.

“Participants range from the old salts that have been retired for years down to the junior enlisted guys that just got in,” said Braggiotti. “This is a really neat demographic because it pulls everybody. These car and bike owners can talk forever amongst themselves, and it really shows how much they love it.”

The mixed bunch mingled, told stories and gave tips to each other, but one similarity they shared was their passion for the vehicles.

“What I enjoy most about these events is hanging out with people

The 70 patrons who registered for the event brought an array of vehicles from classic domestics, such as the 1967 El Camino to new imports, such as the 2009 Nissan 350z.

and talking to them about the cars,” said Bobby Sanders, president of Bad Company Motor Heads, who participated in the event along with nine members from his club. “It’s all about the camaraderie. Most of the time, the car community is all about helping each other. If someone’s car were to break down, anybody here would stop to help. The point is we all do the same thing. Different colors, different flavors, but they’re all cars with four wheels.”

The number of participants was slightly lower than last year’s car show because of the expected rain, but the die-hard auto enthusiasts were there, assisting each other with keeping vehicles dry and still managing to have a great time under the gray sky.

“I absolutely love planning events such as this,” said Braggiotti. “You build and build and build, and then when you’re done, you stand back and watch the (patrons) have a good time.”

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

North Carolina gains favorable odds with ‘Hunger Games’ fire Now playing in Jacksonville “THE HUNGER GAMES” (PG-13) “The Hunger Games” is an adventure fantasy adapted from the first book of the best-selling trilogy by Suzanne Collins.

The young adult fantasy series tells of a violent world on the brink of revolution and about children forced to fight to the death.

For those who have not read the book, the dystopian saga is set in a not-toodistant future where North America has collapsed, and is weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war.

In this post-apocalyptic future, there is Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts.

Every year, children between the ages of 12 and 18 must enter their names in a lottery known as the reaping.

One boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts are then selected to participate in the Hunger Games and forced to fight to the death in a brutal annual tradition.

The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which ‘tributes’ must fight with one another until one survivor remains. The final victor wins a life free from want.

Jennifer Lawrence (“Winter’s Bone,” “Like Crazy”) stars as Katniss Everdeen, the 16-year-old heroine of this tale, who volunteers to take her younger sister’s place for the latest match.

Pitted against highly trained tributes who have prepared for these games their entire lives, Katniss, who is a hunter, not a killer,

is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy, portrayed by Woody Harrelson (“The Messenger”).

If she is ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Josh Hutcherson (“Red Dawn”) stars as Peeta Mellark, the baker, who is also chosen as a District 12 tribute and who has loved Katniss since childhood.

Liam Hemsworth (“The Last Song”) co-stars as Gale Hawthorne, Katniss’ best friend who promises to take care of her family.

Elizabeth Banks (“Man on a Ledge”) portrays Effie Trinket, District 12’s publicity agent for the games.

Also starring is Stanley Tucci (“The Devil Wears Prada”) as Caesar Flickerman, Panom’s biggest TV personality; Wes Bentley (“Jonah Hex”) as Seneca Crane, the Head Gamemaker; Don Sutherland (“The Eagle”) as President Snow; and Lenny Kravitz (“Precious”) as Cinna, Katniss’ personal stylist.

Amandla Stenberg plays Rue, the youngest competitor, who befriends Katniss; and Jack Quaid appears as Marvel, a brutal fighter in the games.

Director Gary Ross (“Seabiscuit,” “Pleasantville”), who co-wrote the screenplay with Billy Ray (“State of Play”) and Collins, tackles the movie adaptation of the highly popular writings. He brilliantly masters the first installment

Don’t accept defeat.

From the

FrontRow Front Row With Reinhild Moldenhauer Huneycutt

of the spellbinding trilogy of books with plenty of suspense and action with a fight-to-the-death realityshow approach and killing arena.

The movie, with its large cast of new talent, was filmed entirely on location in the mountains of Asheville, N.C., including Concord and Charlotte.

Music inspired by the film was created by Taylor Swift, the Civil Wars, Arcade Fire and rapper Kid Cudy; also Maroon 5 and Miranda Lambert who appear on the companion soundtrack.

“The Hunger Games,” the most eagerly awaited movie of this year, lives up to the hype and does the book justice. It presents a good start to the epic trilogy - just watch the bestseller come to life.

Note: The second installment, “Catching Fire” will start shooting this September.

M

avis Fairchild sits behind a mountain of hand-woven baskets, watching the familiar crowds.

Noticeably at ease, she seems content chatting with curious visitors, and more than 20 years of experience stands behind her response when she is asked about her chosen art form.

“I can go around and weave and forget everything,” she says with the sincerity of a true crafter.

Fairchild, along with scores of other artists and crafters, kept spring on schedule during the annual Hidden Talents spring craft fair at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday and Sunday.

The basket weaver has participated in the craft fair since its inception and her creations are always popular with the steady stream of shoppers.

“I enjoy it so much,” Fairchild explained. “I have a lot of friends who come, and it’s the only time I get to see them. I also like to help Hidden Talents because this is for such a good cause.”

Hidden Talents, a volunteer-ran consignment shop almost literally hidden beside the Marine Corps Exchange Annex aboard base, holds the craft fair twice a year with proceeds from the booth rentals going toward the Officers’ Wives Club scholarship fund.

“On average we raise around $16,000 a year with both craft fairs,” stated Sylvia Tijerina, Hidden Talents store manager. “We give back to the military community, but it also

provides a service and a place for spouses and retirees to sell their handmade items.”

More than 60 vendors awaited the money-spending mob with their unique creations like blankets, jewelry and toys, and took their time getting to know their customers.

“The crafters are genuinely interested in the people that come every year,” said Debora Morey, one of the craft fair managers. “I appreciate talented people. This is a chance to help and talk to (them).”

Taking over Marston Pavilion, the craft fair was the best place to shop for homemade gifts, including handpainted signs and picture frames.

“It’s a great venue and set up in a very organized fashion,” Morey acknowledged.

Hundreds of people flooded the building throughout the two-day event, searching for their favorite items and fresh material to fill their shopping bags.

“It is one of the most popular events in the area,” Tijerina said. “(The event is) well established.

People know when to put it on their calendars.”

Tijerina also pointed out that a big draw of the fair is the familiarity patrons have with the artists.

“A lot of our vendors have been with us a long time,” she noted.

While many of the booths held items crowds have come to look forward to, new faces and new talents are always welcome to the fair.

“I’ve been doing arts and craft shows for years, but I love it here,” admitted Marie Koroll, who made a lasting impression in her first showing at the fair.

Mavis Fairchild poses with her hand-woven baskets at the annual Hidden Talents spring craft fair at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday. Fairchild has been selling her crafts since the fair began more than 20 years ago.

Her unique creations were the buzz of many conversations. Leaf castings, molds of actual leaves made with concrete and other ingredients then intricately hand-painted, were her most popular items and left people asking her techniques.

Koroll’s favorite, however, is what she calls her “ugly duckling” jewelry, made of fragments of seashells found on local beaches and crafted into pendants for necklaces or ornaments.

“It’s fun just picking up the shells and making something from them,” she said.

Although the event has grown throughout the years, some items remain at the top of shoppers’ lists.

“Every year it’s different,” said Tijerina. “But our most popular items are the Americana pieces.”

Hidden Talents may be one of MCB Camp Lejeune’s best kept secrets.

With two decades worth of increasingly growing popularity in the craft fairs and more demand for local wares, however, they may not be able to hide much longer.

Military children design rabbit masks during the Peter Rabbitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pancake Party hosted at the Heroes Manor Clubhouse aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, March 24. The event was the first community event held by the Heroes Manor District Clubhouse.

Service members, families hop to Peter Rabbitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pancake Party PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Giddy children wearing rabbit masks skipped and hopped enthusiastically after an energizing breakfast while parents tried to keep up with their little ones during playtime.

Service members and families gathered for the Peter Rabbitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pancake Party, hosted at the Heroes Manor District Clubhouse aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, March 24.

The event was the first community event held by Heroes Manor District Clubhouse.

Families arrived at 9 a.m. and started the morning with a sugarfilled meal that could make anyone outlast the energizer bunny.

It kept some parents

on their toes.

Luckily, the person in the Peter Rabbit costume caught the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention, temporarily reducing their hyperactivity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had the pancake bar with breakfast sausages and drink, and we also had a topping bar that looked more like a topping bar for an ice cream sundae,â&#x20AC;? said Molly Fretag, the senior leasing specialist with Heroes Manor, Lincoln Military Housing, MCB Camp Lejeune. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids went to town with the whipped cream and sprinkles.â&#x20AC;?

After the children satisfied their sweet tooth, they projected their energy to games and crafts. Parents helped them make necklaces out of Fruit Loops and spin art paintings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people that live in the houses are military families, and most of them have children,â&#x20AC;?

said Paige Johnson, the senior community services coordinator with Hampton Roads Region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this particular community, only one in four is of school age, so this event was designed for the younger kids.â&#x20AC;?

The children smiled and laughed as they played games and hung out.

The parents also shared smiles with one another, and for some it was the first chance for them to make friends, which can be difficult for military families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mission of the community services program is to create a sense of community,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Military families move in and move out so quickly that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to meet members in the neighborhood. These events are geared to help them meet their neighbors. Kids

meet kids, and parents meet parents.â&#x20AC;?

According to Fretag, the Lincoln Military Housing area has approximately 90 families living in their homes, and more than 50 residents were able to make it to the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part about supporting the families is actually seeing the families having fun while living in their housing community,â&#x20AC;? said Fretag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make them happy from step one, until the end of their time with us. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re committed to serving our residents while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here.â&#x20AC;?

The next Heroes Manor District Clubhouse events will be a gourmet movie night and the summer opening of the pool.

For more information on the Heroes Manor District Clubhouse, call 355-0112.

Have you ever heard of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ferguson Question?â&#x20AC;? It is named after a contemporary theologian named Dr. Sinclair Ferguson. He asks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you think about when you have nothing else to think about?â&#x20AC;? He goes on to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What fills your mind when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing filling your mind will tell you a lot about yourself.â&#x20AC;?

The fact of the matter is that what we think about on a daily basis, moment by moment, tells us precisely what we value in life. We are preoccupied by the things that concern us the most, the things we love. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. Love and knowledge go together.

We seek to know more deeply the things in our lives which we love whether it is a spouse, the Marine Corps, or maybe a motorcycle. The more we get to know them, the bigger our love for them becomes.

The same holds true for God. To know him is to love him. We were made to love him and be loved by him. To put it a little differently, we are designed to know him and be known by him.

Jesus said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is eternal life; that they might know you and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.â&#x20AC;?

God cares about what you are thinking because what you think tells the world what you love.

The problem we have today is that our minds are inundated by a constant flow of information, both helpful and useless. We waste our time the same way every day. We think about things that are not so important in the grand scheme of things. We think about garbage and why not? Garbage in, garbage out.

But there is a better way.

Fill your mind with the words of eternal life.

God loves you and has provided a love letter that far surpasses that of any lofty sentiment found in this world. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the Bible. You remember â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the book thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collecting dust on your bookshelf, the book that is conveniently stowed away inside your car trunk, the app youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve downloaded but never used in a consistent way.

Get reacquainted with Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word today which says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these thingsâ&#x20AC;? (Philippians 4:8).

My favorite hymn is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be Thou My Vision.â&#x20AC;? The first stanza reads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; naught be all else to me, save that Thou art; Thou my best thought, by day or by night, waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.â&#x20AC;?

Know him. Love him.

NHCL insurance program benefits patients, hospital LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Many active-duty family members, retired military and their families are covered by a commercial insurance provider. Naval Hospital Camp Lejeuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Other Health Insurance Program can save these patients money and benefit the hospital at the same time.

The program collects from commercial insurance providers without charging patients for any outpatient bills. Active-duty family members, retired military and their family members covered by a commercial insurance provider can use that insurance at the hospital without paying for any co-pays or deductibles.

In fact, the hospital will cover the co-pay and the deductable for the patient, saving beneficiaries money by helping to cover their yearly deductable each time they visit NHCL. It is a

win-win situation for the hospital and the patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The money that we get from the third-party insurance stays here at the hospital,â&#x20AC;? said Bobbi Cavender, the Uniform Business Office manager with NHCL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we use the money that we collect from insurance companies to provide additional services, renovate spaces and in some cases hire more people. So the money stays here to benefit soldiers, Marines and sailors and their families that are seen at this hospital.â&#x20AC;?

NHCL collected approximately $2 million from third-party insurance providers last year. This came at no cost to the patients covered under commercial insurance.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very simple for patrons to take advantage of this program, said Cavender. They only need to fill out and submit a DD2569 form once a year. That informs the hospital that a patient has commercial insurance. Patients can receive the form by inform-

ing any one of the clerks at the hospital that they have third-party insurance.

Many people are afraid to tell the hospital they have a third-party provider because they think they will be billed by the hospital, said Cavender. This is not the case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hassle sometimes to the patient to fill out the form, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only downside I see,â&#x20AC;? said Cavender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just the fact that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not paying your co-pays and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not paying your deductibles, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helping you to meet that. If you have third-party insurance, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying your premium anyway.â&#x20AC;?

But the advantages donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop at co-pays and deductibles. Aside from the care offered at NHCL, patients who cannot get a personal doctor on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune can get referrals from their doctors in town to fill prescriptions and have procedures done at NHCL. That way they still save money, benefit the hospital and take advantage

of the medical programs and opportunities provided at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

This is a Department of Defense wide program, so the benefits expand beyond MCB Camp Lejeune, noted Cavender. Congress instructed military medical facilities to collect from commercial providers.

The benefits that apply to patients at NHCL therefore extend to patients at other military hospitals as well.

Choose to leave your legacy

New to Me with Amy Binkley

Assistant managing editor

To be forgotten is a terrible thing. I want to be remembered.

Fame is not my goal, nor is notoriety among highfalutin crowds. My hope is to have just one person, preferably in the far future, who will look back on my life and say, “Now there’s a girl who made a difference.”

Leaving a legacy is a universal desire among the human race.

Everyone on some level wants to know that something – a thought, an action, anything – of theirs can change a person, or even the world, just a little and will continue to be passed on forever.

But in a present-minded

culture where most things are dispensable and everything can be upgraded within a few years, is it still possible to leave a legacy?

More importantly, should we even try?

The short answers are yes and absolutely.

Our obsession with immortality and our feeble attempts at looking younger the older we grow may have blinded us to the fact that, whether consciously or not, we are already building our legacies with every choice we make.

Choosing to become a part of the few and the proud is obviously a springboard for legendary stories history will remember forever.

However, being a faithful wife and mother in good, bad, ugly and really ugly times can also help plant a generational root system that reproduces a long-lasting, never-give-up mentality for ages to come.

The key to creating a memorable legacy can be found in a lesson from the Boy Scouts. Leave your

campsite better than you found it.

Each person we meet and each place we visit will either be slightly improved or damaged by our interactions, and we decide what kind of mark we’ll leave.

Do we tip the waitress who got the drinks wrong or not? Do we put our grocery carts away even if it’s raining or not?

The choice is ours and every one builds or breaks down the inheritance we’ll leave behind to our children, to people we mentor or to those we don’t even realize are taking their lead from us.

Don’t you want to leave them something good?

You may not be welltraveled, well-read, well-todo or well-bred, and that’s OK. However, recognizing that you will be wellremembered later for what you do now might make you more aware of the weight of your choices.

Choose to leave a great legacy, like Col. Daniel J. Lecce.

Lejeune celebrates Women’s History Month LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERA Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Every year since 1987, the month of March has been an opportunity to celebrate the history and accomplishments of the nation’s women through Women’s History Month. It is a time designed to broaden the knowledge about the contributions women have made for our country.

The history of the military has had its fair share of women supporting it. From Joan of Arc, the medieval French soldier who led the resistance against an English invasion during the Hundred Years War to the Marines with the female engagement team working alongside infantry Marines today.

The theme of this year’s Women’s History Month is “Women’s Education-Women’s Empowerment.”

“Education is paramount because it aids in the professional development of all,” according to Marine Administrative Message 074-12. “By educating our Marines we empower them and arm them with advantages both on and off the battlefield.”

Women struggled to gain an education in the past, and are now reaping the benefits of their battles.

Now, more women than ever enter college and leave with a degree. Women are also expanding their careers.

“Women are in every area of our lives,” said Linda Carpenter, an equal employment opportunity specialist with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. “They are in senate, in congress, in sports. They are the CEO’s of businesses. Women have an influence in every aspect of life. So we want to recognize their strength and their contributions to our nation.”

Carpenter acknowledges that women still face challenges in the workplace. For instance, while women are CEO’s they only account for three percent of Fortune 500 companies’ CEO’s. Carpenter said that while the glass ceiling won’t shatter overnight, with an education and endurance, it can be broken.

“The more people are aware and gain knowledge about people who are different than them the more inclusive they are,” said Carpenter. “It takes a diverse workforce to strengthen our nation. Look at the diversity of the Marine Corps. We all have strengths.

We want to be able to draw from everybody’s strength.”

She credits the foundation laid by women’s suffragettes and the women who tended to service members as their nurses during previous wars for the success gained by today’s women.

“Our history is important,” said Lori Pringle, a fellow equal employment opportunity specialist for MCB Camp Lejeune.

“If you can’t see where you came from, you won’t be able to see where you’re going. As any history teacher will tell you, you have to know where you’ve been to move forward.”

Carpenter feels that as women educate themselves, they should look back at the positives of the struggles faced, and that they should look back at the qualities of the women who laid the path for women today.

“We have to look at the people who made a difference and we have to look at what they did to make a difference,” said Carpenter. “We should let that shape and mold our lives. (Women in the past) may have been in different circumstances but they all had tenacity, and strength. We all have strengths and good qualities, and we have to use those to propel us forward.”
