Combat Logistics Regiment 2 proved its capabilities vital to the success of retrograde operations, providing tactical logistics support to Regimental Combat Team 7 during Operation Dynamic Partner in Helmand province, Afghanistan, Feb. 9. The overall intent of the operation was to safely extract all equipment and troops located aboard Village Stability Platform Shurakay prior to demilitarizing the site in the Upper Gereshk Valley. According to Capt. Brian McCarthy, the CLR-2 transportation operations officer, the regiment was the only unit able to support the operation’s robust logistical requirements. “Aside from the catchall generic (tactical logistics support), they needed medium and heavy-lift capabilities from the (logistics combat element),” explained

McCarthy. “Additionally, they needed mobile refueling capability, and they also looked to us to provide landing support Marines to run the flow of the (Rearm, Refuel, and Resupply Point). “The big problem set for Shurakay was picking up the 20-foot containers from the VSP and some other breakable items for retrograde,” said McCarthy. VSP Shurakay was comparatively smaller
than other similar sites, and the routes to and from were difficult within which to maneuver. Consequently, the only type of vehicle that could be used to load and backhaul the equipment was the Logistics Vehicle System Replacement MKR-18 cargo vehicle. CLR-2 is the only unit here able to support this vehicle requirement. More commonly referred to as self-loaders,

these cargo trucks are equipped with a Load Handling System capable of loading and offloading containers. CLR-2 provided two convoy logistics patrols, with 16 LVSR trucks embedded in each. These two convoys provided the heavy-lift capability necessary to retrograde all mission essential equipment and operational gear from VSP Shurakay back to Camp Leatherneck.
According to the convoy commanders, the majority of the loads were standard, primarily utilizing the LVSR vehicle system to load 28 20-foot containers. However, there were some additional irregular loads, equipment they normally do not move, for which there was no standard procedure for strapping them down. SEE LOGISTICS 7A

The Supporting Arms Coordination Exercise was the culminating event of the Composite Training Unit Exercise, marking the end of the pre-deployment training program for the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. The exercise provided supporting fire for a simulated amphibious assault on a target aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., Feb. 16. “It’s designed to evaluate Amphibious Squadron 4 and the 26th MEU fire support section, and the ability to integrate fire support for an amphibious landing,” said Capt. Albert Silva, 26th MEU targeting information officer. Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, the ground combat element of the 26th MEU, conducted beach landings with amphibious assault vehicles and deployed from landing craft, air cushions assigned to PHIBRON 4. “It’s practicing command and control from the sea to support the landing forces as they get ashore,” said Silva. Assets at the MEU’s disposal for this operation included air assets from the MEU’s aviation combat element, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron VMM-266 (Reinforced). These air assets include AV8B Harrier attack aircraft, and UH-1N Huey and AH1W Cobra attack helicopters. Ground and sea assets included 81mm and 120mm mortars from BLT 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, and the missiles and guns of USS Anzio. “SACEX gave us the opportunity to integrate MEU and PHIBRON planning in order to coordinate naval surface fire support with the USS Anzio, ensuring accurate placement SEE READINESS 7A

Major Gen. Charles M. Gurganus, I Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) commanding general, gives a speech during the Regional Command (Southwest) Transfer of Authority ceremony aboard Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, Feb. 28. “I appreciate the opportunity to take command of RC (SW).” Miller referred to his continued communication with Gurganus during I MEF (Fwd.)’s yearlong deployment. He said he will continue building on NATO’s “guide, advise and assist” strategy as Afghan
National Security Forces continue taking the lead in securing Afghanistan. Gurganus is credited with taking what was considered a counterinsurgency campaign in the region to a security force assistance mode of operations while overseeing the drawdown of
more than 10,000 Marines and other coalition troops. The SFA mission is executed by small Security Force Assistance Advisory Teams by providing guidance and advice to ANSF units as they conduct security operations. The teams facilitate the transition of security from coalition forces to ANSF. Last year, the Afghan 215th Corps stood up a new 4th Brigade, further increasing its capabilities. This enabled 3rd Brigade to secure access to the provincial capital and 2nd Brigade to maintain pressure in the northern region of Helmand province in areas such as Kajaki and Sangin. “Today, Afghans lead 80 percent of combat missions,” said Army Lieutenant Gen. James T. Terry, the International Security Assistance Force Joint Command commander, during the ceremony. “This shows what a coalition can get done. The idea of ANSF leading missions was SEE MEF 7A

BaseLegal Base Legal By M.S. Archer
Marines don’t complain enough When it comes to deceptive business practices, price gouging, abusive sales, predatory loans, bad service, negligent work, unlawful debt collection and a wide array of outrageous business practices, Marines and sailors don’t complain enough. Sure, troops gripe to their friends or to each other, but not to anyone who can make a difference, either to them or to prevent harm to the next person who walks into the business. By the time a military or government agency has enough complaints to take any action, or even to warn others, far too many people were already victimized. This point was brought home to me quite dramatically on several occasions; I’ll discuss two instances. Concerned about the mortgage crisis and the conduct of big banks generally, HQMC asked MCIE legal assistance field offices how many clients we had in which the bank failed to comply with requirements under the Servicemember Civil Relief Act, either by foreclosing on a house secured by a pre-service mortgage without court order or by failing to reduce interest on pre-service obligations when requested. We had less than a handful of cases in house. Nonetheless, in a class action suit
against just one bank, there were five thousand military plaintiffs in a case that ultimately settled for about $40 million. I received a complaint concerning an auto mechanic from a consumer. By happenstance, a legal assistance employee was chatting with a court clerk, who suggested review of court records concerning this business. Turns out there were dozens of small claims court judgments against the business or its owner, very few of which he bothered to pay. So, why don’t people complain? There may be many reasons, but I think there are three main ones. First, the public is generally unaware of the various complaint mechanisms that may exist. Secondly, people may feel even if they take the effort to complain, nothing good will come of it or the effort is not worth the cost. Finally, in many cases, people simply don’t know they were ripped off. Let’s briefly explore these issues. Consumers who would like to learn more about official complaint mechanisms can read my article “Who Ya Gonna Call?” posted to the Marine Corps Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune legal assistance website in the consumer
law folder. Since it can be hard to find, I would be happy to provide the article to any unit leader who makes the request. Additionally, I will provide a presentation to any unit looking to educate their Marines and sailors on this topic. And, of course, aggrieved consumers can consult their legal assistance office. Within reason, I will also respond to email queries. There were many cases in which consumer complaints led to success stories: money refunded, repairs made at no additional cost, business practices altered, successful lawsuits by government agencies, or businesses placed off limits, which is a kind of success. The North Carolina Department of Justice (consumer affairs) advises it responds to every consumer complaint and has an impressive success rate. Consumer complaints also alert government agencies to the kinds of practices that may require a legislative or regulatory fix. For all of this, it is true sometimes the complaint will not result in any relief whatsoever for the complainant. The only positive impact may be the ability to warn others and possibly to take action sometime in the future. Lack of guaranteed
success does not, however, excuse lack of effort, which can be made easier through the services of your friendly legal assistance attorney. Finally, Marines may not know they were ripped off. They may feel they got a bad deal, or they were persuaded to make a bad decision, but believe no illegality occurred. How would a nonlawyer know whether the Truth in Lending Act was violated, or special state rules concerning the sale of life insurance to troops, or the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Repair Act, or the SCRA, or the Military Lending Act, or federal or state debt collection practices laws, or a host of other rules the average consumer may have no familiarity with? You have to ask. Further, the fact a business rips you off without violating the law should not deter you from complaining. For example if a car dealer routinely sells dangerous and seriously defective cars “as is,” it’s something other consumers will want to know, a matter for potential regulation, and an issue the Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board is empowered to take action upon. Speak up Marines and do it effectively.
March is Women’s History Month: 1918- the first female Marine enlists in the Marine Corps, 1948 - women were sworn in as regular Marines, 1961 the first female was promoted to the rank of sergeant major, 1967 - the first female served in a combat zone, 1978 - first female brigadier general, 2002 - first female to die in the war on terror, 2009 - female teams conduct first missions in Afghanistan, 2013 - ban on women in combat is repealed. 2018 - first female infantry battalion commander, first female sergeant major of the Marine Corps? In the next five years, where do you see females in the Marine Corps? I see no boundaries for female Marines who are able to uphold the standard the Marine Corps proudly built it’s reputation on. Not everyone has the physical and mental ability to be a Marine. Those who do will succeed with determination and hard work regardless of gender. Jem Rodenberger
In the next five years, I see woman Marines adding to all their firsts. Being remembered and known not only for being a female, but for what they can and will accomplish. Lulu Moore
With heart and determination, anything is possible. Julia Anne Ardoin
In the next 5 years, females will run the Marine Corps. They are already leading in critical areas all over the globe. My husbands current commanding general is a woman, and she is a total badass. Having different body parts should never hold anyone back. English Esway

Farewell to brother-in-arms Where am I to start? I am writing this article with a heavy heart because a good friend, mentor and brother-in-arms, Joseph Randolph “Randy” Reichler, “transferred to another duty station.” I can write about all the good things he did and it would fill up this newspaper tenfold, but I can say Randy was a man who loved his work. He saw to it the military community here
was taken care of. His fame did not come from material riches, but from hard work and the fact he truly cared for every single person he came in contact with. He took time to answer phone calls and answer emails. He would work all day, and then took the time to go to the homes of widows and veterans assuring them any problem could be overcome and solved.
When you saw or spoke with Randy, you saw a quality we seldom see today and the quality was sincere honesty in caring for his fellow man. No matter who or what rank the person was, they were the most important person in the room at the particular time. Randy gave everything and asked for nothing in return. We lost a good man but gained an example of how we should
try to live each and every day – to always treat one another with dignity, respect and courtesy. It is what Randy would want in the very least. My name is Luis “Lou” J. Alers- Dejesus, and I will attempt henceforth to wholeheartedly write articles for the “Retiree Corner” with the same passion Randy had and just hope I can come close to his standard. Thank you, Randy.

Belleau Wood Regiment receives new commander CPL. ED GALO
2nd Marine Division
Marines, sailors, friends and families of 6th Marine Regiment gathered on W.P.T Field aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Feb. 21, to watch as command of the regiment was transferred from Col. John R. Shafer to Col. Ryan P. Heritage. Shafer had assumed command of the “Fightin’ Sixth” June 16, 2010. He enlisted in the Marine Corps and reported to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego in May of 1983. While enlisted he was assigned to 4th Reconnaissance Battalion. He was promoted through the rank of sergeant before being honorably discharged in order
to become a commissioned officer. “I think 10-15 years from now, we’re going to look back and see when RCT-6 deployed in what is going to be considered a pivotal time in the history of Afghanistan,” said Shafer while addressing the audience. “Everything we did there from 2001 up until the summer of 2012 was based on U.S. and coalition led operations “to set conditions for the Afghan National Security Forces to assume lead and secure their own country,” he continued. Shafer spoke about the accomplishments made by Regimental Combat Team 6 in Afghanistan such as increasing the size of their battle space from 55,000 square kilometers
to over 120,000 square kilometers, while simultaneously downsizing their headquarters from 343 Marines and sailors to 278. In addition, they were responsible for retrograding more than 40,000 pieces of equipment from Afghanistan back to the United States. Once Shafer finished addressing the audience, Heritage took to the stage. “This has been an incredible welcome and incredible turnover,” Heritage said. “As (my wife and I) admired the regiment from afar, we were impressed by the success the regiment was having. Rest assured I will continue to build upon what you developed and never fall backward. Thank you very much.”

2nd Tank Bn makes teamwork, efficiency priority CPL. MARCO MANCHA 2nd Marine Division
“It takes 10 hands to score a basket,� said John Wooden, former head coach at UCLA, winner of 10 NCAA National Championships – seven in a row. Service members with 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division put their solidarity to the test during a three-week long training exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Feb. 1 through 22. Tanks lined up across the seemingly endless and rough terrain with their smoothbore cannons sighted downrange. Within every M1A-1 Abrams Main Battle Tank are four tank crewmen, each with a specific yet equally important job required to operate the armored beast. The tank commander, or TC, gives the signal to fire a round once it is loaded. A TC assumes leadership and responsibility for the vehicle and crew, similar to a coach who directs his team’s every move on the court and assures everyone is on the same page.
“Once the crews are comfortable with each other, their work becomes a lot smoother,� said Sgt. Jabari Stamps, a tank commander with the company. “You’ll see their time of engagements go down and they become a lot more efficient within the tank.� Tank crew efficiency is crucial to effectively engage an enemy. Stamps said his team of Marines improved their skills after successfully launching hundreds of assorted rounds at numerous targets. A total of 12 tank crews successfully completed their semi-annual gunnery qualifications, all while increasing their gunnery skills. Cpl. Richard Brown said the gunnery exercise was very helpful in preparing his Marines for a deployed environment. “I feel this helps the junior Marines because they come out here and really get to learn their job hands-on,� explained Brown, a gunner with the company. “The training gets the Marines where they need to be to react to a combative situation in a better manner.� Brown, who deployed to
Afghanistan in 2011, is now second in command behind his TC and is responsible for targeting enemy threats. The TC relies on the gunner, like a coach relies on his team captain, to lead his teammates to victory. Teamwork is just as important when the tank crew is between missions. It’s up to the tank crew to keep their tank running smoothly by performing hours of maintenance. The monstrous vehicle requires up to 10 hours of maintenance for every hour it is operating. At the end of the day, however, Marines like Brown and Stamps don’t mind putting in the excruciating hours of maintenance because to them it’s completely worth it. “My favorite part of the training is just to be around the Marines because you get to just have fun,� concluded Stamps. “This, to me, is one of the most competitive jobs in the Marine Corps because everyone wants to outshoot everybody. Still, anytime you get to come out and shoot this is great and I love it. How many people get to do that?�

Greenslit was ordained through the Presbyterian Church in Plumville, Pa., where he served four years as a minister. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in 1986. Throughout his career, he served with Marines, sailors and Coast Guardsmen around the world, being stationed in such places as Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., USS Constellation, Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla., Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., 7th Coast Guard District in Miami, Marine Corps Base Camp Smedley D. Butler in Okinawa, Japan, U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pa., and Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va. “The most personally rewarding from a standpoint of helping people, was my time with the Coast Guard in Miami,� said Greenslit. “I got there right before 9/11 and had the opportunity to go to ground zero in New York, where I could support and lend a helping hand to anyone in need.� What Greenslit enjoyed most about the Navy were the many professional relationships he developed throughout the years. “I enjoyed the opportunity to help young

Marines pay tribute to fallen brothers CPL. PAUL PETERSON 2nd Marine Logistics Group
One by one, the Marines rose as their names were called. They stood rigid in a sea of bowed heads and khaki uniforms, waiting for two of their own. The service members with Combat Logistics Battalion 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group remained silent as the names of Cpl. Christopher M. Monahan Jr. and Lance Cpl. Dale W. Means
echoed over the memorial ceremony Feb. 22. The call went out three times, and three times the room remained in a breathless hush. A volley of rifle fire cracked over the bay outside, ending the silence as a bugle played the slow, mournful melody of “Taps.” Monahan and Means were killed in Helmand province, Afghanistan, November 2012 while supporting tactical logistics operations.
“There is little I can say to alleviate the pain of those closest to them,” said Lt. Col. Denise M. Mull, the commanding officer of the battalion, as she addressed the fallen Marines’ families and friends. “These two Marines followed their hearts. They knew the dangers they were undertaking. Dale and Chris’ passing is a tragedy.” They died doing what they loved, and the tragedy of their deaths was also proof of their dedication
to a greater calling, said Mull, who later took a moment to place her hands on the memorial set up for the Marines. A rifle, helmet and pair of boots stood in quiet tribute for both of the men. Monahan and Means’ dog tags hung from their weapons - a testament to the battalion’s loss. “On that day, we began the rest of our lives with something missing,” said 1st. Lt. Ross Campbell, Monahan’s platoon commander
with Transportation Support Company, CLB-2. “I find myself looking over my shoulder often, expecting to find him there; only to realize, our reality remains unchanged. This hole will never be filled.” Monahan and Means served as motor transportation operators and turret gunners operating near Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan. “Dale deserves more than a speech, more than a memorial ceremony,” said
1st Lt. Andrew Schlottmann, Means’ platoon commander with Transportation Support Co. “Dale Means deserves exactly what he gave - everything. He never let us down.” A common virtue emerged as the Marines shared their memories of Monahan and Means. The two Marines remained positive even under harsh circumstances, and they put their fellow Marines in SEE BROTHERS 7A

AT SEA
Combat ops define true character CPL. KYLE N. RUNNELS 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit
Capt. John E. Nobles III, Force Reconnaissance platoon commander, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with combat distinguishing device aboard USS Kearsarge while at sea Feb. 16. “Combat brings out the true character of a man or woman,” said Col. Matthew G. St. Clair, 26th MEU commanding officer. “It is in the environment Marines and sailors do things many never thought they would be able to do.” Awarded for the actions taken as commander of 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division (Forward), II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), from Jan. 8 to June 7, 2011, the citation reads, “During this period, Capt. Nobles demonstrated exceptional proficiency, courage, and aggressive leadership in the face of a relentless and determined enemy force within the Upper Sangin River Valley.” Performing selfless acts of valor in the face of immediate peril, Nobles displayed honor, courage and commitment in an unparalleled manner, faithfully staying true to the core values of the Marine Corps. “Capt. Nobles responded, led and saved lives,” said St. Clair as he addressed the formation at the award ceremony. “It’s a humbling experience for me to be able to present this award to Capt. Nobles, and it’s a humbling experience for me to stand here, beside him, wearing the same uniform he wears - the same uniform each and everyone one of you wear.” The citation continues to read, “Capt. Nobles served as a stalwart example of combat leadership and routinely moved to key locations despite the ferocity of enemy attacks encountered by him and his men. During numerous direct engagements with enemy forces, Nobles exposed BROTHERS FROM 5A front of their own interests. “I saw him give his face mask to one of his guys on a dusty convoy,” said Staff Sgt. Gordon Lunna, Monahan’s platoon sergeant. “It’s how he was. If he had it and you needed it, it was yours.” The battalion returned to MCB Camp Lejeune near the end of January after spending nearly seven months supporting the International Security Assistance Force. Hundreds of the unit’s personnel disembarked from buses on the
himself to accurate and sustained fires to emplace, coordinate, and direct the fires of his men, as well as supporting arms, onto the enemy.” Nobles said the key to his platoon’s success was always having the upper hand by refusing to be intimidated by enemy forces. He also contributed their success to the ability of free movement. They were not restricted to certain patrol routes or areas of operation, therefore the enemy could not predict their movement and back lay IEDs. Once Nobles and his men were deployed, the tide of engagements in the area turned. His keen leadership skills and the proper emplacement of his Marines saved lives, allowing more Marines to go home to their families. “Once we felt like we worked one area enough we pushed on to a different sector,” said Nobles. “A lot of other units were restricted to certain areas due to the layout of the land. A bunch of good guys were down there. The battalion there at the time was 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, and we felt really fortunate because we got to take a lot of heat off of them once we got in place. The general came up and told us their casualties went down 68 percent once we got there, and got the Taliban’s attention focused on us. It always feels good helping out your fellow Marines.” Despite the heroic deeds he accomplished, Nobles remained humble, thanking his team leaders and contributing his success to their actions. “We’re very fortunate we had such a good platoon,” said Nobles. “Our team leaders were absolutely phenomenal. Our company commander was also phenomenal. Everybody was always very aggressive and on the same page, which helped out a lot.”
base’s streets, where they were reunited with their families and friends. The scene was a celebration, but the memory of the missing Marines followed the unit home. “It affected us personally and intimately in ways we are just beginning to understand,” said Sgt. Adam Virosztko, the platoon sergeant for Transportation Support Co. “Everyone being here doesn’t make it ok, and everyone being here doesn’t undo anything that
happened. What it does do is allow us to grieve, remember, laugh and cry together.” Row after row of Marines and sailors drained into the center aisle. They knelt in groups before the helmets of their fallen peers, reached out their hands, and grasped Monahan and Means’ dog tags one last time.
READINESS FROM 1A of rounds downrange,” said Lt. Chelsea Creekmuir, operations officer for PHIBRON 4. “We rarely get the opportunity to work with an Aegis ship in this capacity. We now know we can successfully engage targets on call.” “In a MEU, fire support is a real blue-green effort. It requires integration with the ship and the PHIBRON staff to make sure our fire support is executed properly,” said Silva. The MEU can utilize anything in the area of operations during a beach landing, said Silva. Learning to coordinate those assets early on is crucial to efficiently running operations when the platforms and units providing fire support for an amphibious landing or other operation may not be from the unit or even from the United States. “In the event of an amphibious assault, we would leverage any other assets in the area and integrate them in our scheme of maneuver,” said Silva. During the SACEX, the training scenario’s objective was to neutralize anti-ship cruise missiles capable of hitting allied warships landing troops, and to destroy anti-air weaponry in the area of the target beach to allow friendly aircraft to operate unhindered. The training from this exercise extends to all of the MEU’s operations. “Any mission the MEU is tasked with requires a fire support concept,” said Silva. “When we send a force ashore, it’s important to be able to command and control from afloat.” The 26th MEU is currently completing the final phase of a six-month pre-deployment training program, preparing for this year’s deployment. The MEU is a task-organized, scalable MAGTF serving as an expeditionary crisis response force operating from the sea, and capable of conducting amphibious operations across the full range of military operations.
LOGISTICS FROM 1A “We brought everything back, even some stuff they didn’t think was possible,” said 1st Lt. Anthony Cox, 2nd Platoon commander for TS Company. “Everyone in the loading area did an outstanding job even as [enemy] rounds were impacting near them and overhead.” “The fact my Marines successfully provided logistics support with irregular loads over rough and uneven terrain resulted in overall success in extracting everything on the load plan back to the R3P and then retrograding it back to [Camp] Leatherneck,” said Cox. After arriving back at the R3P, the regiment’s landing support and bulk fuel Marines were working to keep things running smoothly. The landing support Marines directed traffic and coordinated the flow of equipment and personnel. The bulk fuel Marines managed the refuel site, initially housing 27,000 gallons of fuel, which sustained all mechanized assets throughout the operation. The shift in focus from a decade of counter-insurgency operations to the current retrograde operations thrust logistics support to the forefront in execution. This change is apparent as CLR-2 was
7A
temporarily the main effort during the backhaul phase of the operation. “We see even now this is not something the ground combat element can do themselves,” explained 1st Lt. Christopher Brennan, 4th Platoon Commander for TS Company. “They need tactical logistics support. And it’s what we do,” Brennan continued. “We deliver. Whether it’s a front haul or large backhaul, it’s what we are here for.” Over two months of deliberate planning went into ensuring the success of the operation. VSP Shurakay was anticipated to be the most problematic VSP to close due to its isolated location and kinetic environment. It required all elements of the Marine Air Ground Task Force to interface together and accomplish the mission. “Everything went relatively according to plan,” said 1st Lt. Silvio Bettinelli, the CLR-2 liaison officer for the operation. “Overall, it was a very successful mission. We got all of our gear and all of our people out of there without any casualties. It defines a successful mission,” he concluded. Operation Dynamic Partner was one of many retrograde operations scheduled to occur as U.S. forces continue to withdraw and close bases.
MEF FROM 1A just that, an idea. It’s a reality -a remarkable [turnaround].” Gurganus said it’s been a “year of complexity, challenges, and hard and good times,” but he cited the strength of the coalition was “confidence, courage and trust” shared by all. “Add cooperation and it’s exactly what carries our ANSF partners through as well,” said Gurganus. “These three things, plus cooperation with one another and (the Afghan’s) commitment to the mission, is something really phenomenal to watch. My parting words are to continue.” He sees a “bright, positive” future for Afghanistan. Looking at Afghan National Army Maj. Gen. Sayeed Malook, the 215th Corps commanding general, and other Afghan military and civilian leaders, he said he was positive the “sun has risen” in Helmand province and “it will never set again.”

inning is great, but their attitude on the court is what sets them apart. For nearly two hours, approximately 40 students from Brewster Middle School put their basketball skills and sportsmanship to the test during a Hoops-NDreams jamboree at the Goettge Memorial Field House aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Feb. 22. The founder of Hoops-N-Dreams, Shiana K. Barbosa, started the program at Brewster Middle School in 2012 to promote student success in school through mentorship and physical activities. The program focuses on teamwork, camaraderie, positive character development and academic achievement. The mentors, who are active-duty Marines and sailors, work hand in hand with the students to encourage those traits. “I’m just trying to teach them what I learned,” said Petty Officer 3rd Class Maurice M. Taylor, 2nd Dental Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group. “I learned a lot by playing basketball as far as teamwork and the basic fundamentals of the game.” Taylor currently serves as the head referee for Hoops-N-Dreams. He joins other volunteers every week to help foster the children’s sense of responsibility and respect. During practices, which occur Wednesdays, volunteers help the children with their academics by studying with them before playing basketball. On the court, they emphasize teamwork and guide the students through the rules of the game. Some of the volunteers play side by side with the children to ensure each child SEE BASKETBALL 7B

Local anglers, residents seek solution to net woes
After many years of conflict, the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries is finally going to address nighttime netting in several Carteret County creeks. A public meeting to explain the restrictions to reduce conflicts between fishermen and residents in Cape Carteret is scheduled for today at 5:30 p.m. The meeting is scheduled to take place at the division’s Central District Office in Morehead City and is open to the public. At last week’s meeting, the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission voted to restrict gill nets and seines in portions of Deer Creek and Schoolhouse Creek in Cape Carteret at night between October and April. The restrictions will prohibit gill nets and seines from 8:30 p.m. to sunrise from Oct. 1 to March 31. They will also require fishermen to place reflectors on every 50 yards of net, require nets to be cast in the middle of creek, limit net lengths to 200 yards, and require
fishermen to attend their nets at all times and move them as necessary to allow reasonable navigation. Conflicts between fishermen and Cape Carteret residents arose in 2008 when town residents unsuccessfully petitioned the commission to close or restrict gill net fishing in the creeks at night. Recently, the town asked the division to prohibit all gill nets and seines in the creeks and entrance channel from sunset to sunrise. Residents complained the fishermen were beating oars on docks, shining spotlights into houses, threatening residents and causing a hazard to navigation. Fishermen said they need to fish for mullet, spotted sea trout and flounder at night, and want to avoid increased conflict with daytime boat traffic and recreational fishing. The parties were unable to agree on a solution through discussions with division staff, local law enforcement and a formal mediation process. The regulations adopted represent the commission’s attempt to find middle ground between concessions fishermen offered during mediation and the residents’ request for a year-round nighttime closure. The regulations will be put into place by
proclamation in the next week. In other news, anglers reported fishing picked up last week. The main fishing news these days is still trout, black and red drum. The Highway 24 creeks are currently very slow for speckled trout. While passing these creeks early Monday morning I saw only one angler at Broad Creek. I spotted a few rat reds in one of the creeks over the weekend. They promptly eschewed my plastic shrimp offering. The best bet for trout is still the New River area. Remember, we get a bit of a drum in the late winter and early spring, and often see some gray trout in the mix. Red drum can still be caught from sighted schools in the local marshes. Newport River, Bogue Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway are full of these schools. Anglers seeking the perfect bait will do no better than Gulp! or natural baits. If you are hoping to use natural bait I would suggest cut mullet or mud minnows. If you are searching for a more reliable fish to catch, try seeking out the black drum. Find hard structure, bridges, dock pilings, rock jetties of some oyster rocks, and with a little help from a piece of shrimp you should have some nice fish for dinner. Some recent hot spots were the Ft. Macon Rock Jetty, where fish were caught last week. Anglers
also frequent the Rt. 101 Core Creek Bridge and every mound of oyster shells they can find. Carolina rigs tipped with a bit of shrimp will do fine. If you are fishing in a protected area around a dock or a not-too=-deep oyster rock without a current, you can get away with a hook, your line and just a split shot for weight. The black drum, fight great and taste good too. I usually just broil them with a little lemon butter and thyme. Shad watch: Hickories are not biting on the Roanoke River in Weldon. Fishing was hit or miss but is beginning on time this year, unlike in the past. The Ask Dr. Bogus Fishing show can be heard every Monday morning at 7:30 on 107.1 FM and 1240 AM, and can be accessed on the Coastal Daybreak Facebook page at any time.

Happy birthday, Tar Heel Legendary college coach continues to inspire student athletes, admirers
Good leaders are not born. They are built. Yes, there are plenty of people born with a natural tendency to be a trailblazer. However, without proper guidance and mentorship they often stray away from the correct path. Their leadership abilities marred by their unwillingness to accept help or advice from those appointed over them, will cause their natural talents to fade away. Once in a while, one comes across a person who is the epitome of what leadership means. These people know when to lead and when to step aside. They understand the importance of walking the trail ahead of others, but are not afraid to admit they don’t always know which way to go. They accept help from others without allowing pride to get in the way. Long after they cease leading in the public spotlight, true leaders remain with us. But all leaders – even the best leaders – don’t have it all together.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s legendary basketball coach turned 82 last week. Tar Heel Dean Smith, a coach who proved himself a leader capable of overcoming the pitfalls that ensnared many other legendary athletic figures before him. While Joe Paterno, Lance Armstrong and many others fell prey to the pride and glory that came with being such legendary figures, Smith remains remarkably unphased by his celebrity status. Ask any student at UNC-Chapel Hill who he is and you will be pointed in the direction of the Dean E. Smith Student Activities Center, more commonly referred to as the Dean Dome. Named for the coach with more than 850 wins under his belt during his coaching career, which spanned nearly 40 years, the Dean Dome is the center of all UNC-Chapel Hill athletics and one of the most recognized athletic centers in the nation. When Smith retired in 1997 and it was announced he was diagnosed with a progressive neurocognitive disorder in 2010, the countless number of students he coached and mentored remained by his side. He continues to come into work several days a week, but rarely carries on a conversation. Still, he arrives at work as often
as possible, determined to carry out his mission of mentoring and shaping leaders of tomorrow, continuing what he did for the last five decades. Smith gave and continues to give of himself. He may not always know the name of the person waving to him as they pass by his office, but he is a still a leader among men at the university. And, while he may not carry on conversations with everyone he meets the way he used to, he will still be there to lead. He will nurture and continue to impact those he comes in contact with. His mind may fade as the years go by, but his leadership abilities still ring in the air through the Dean Dome. His heart for the game and eagerness to mentor the leaders of tomorrow outshines any affliction he may face. Smith’s legacy will remain long after he leaves the earth. His leadership ignited a spark in the hearts of athletes and fans across the globe, and we will forever look to him as an untarnished representation of leadership done well. Happy birthday, Tar Heel.

Blazers, Lakers heat up basketball court CPL. ANTHONY J. KIRBY Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Some fans looked on with tense excitement while others casually watched the Youth Sports Basketball Championship game aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune March 2. In this years’ 10 to 12-year-old division, the Blazers defeated the Lakers with a score of 28-16 at the Area 1 Gymnasium. It was the second time this season the Blazers faced the Lakers. The Lakers were victorious in
their first standoff, winning by one point. It was the only Blazer loss of the season. Brittany Brewer, the Blazers head coach, said she had her team players write down one thing they felt they could have done better during the game. Whatever they wrote down is what she had them practice, and from this championship win, it’s clear it worked. “From the beginning it was rough,” said Brewer. “We had a couple of
with only three or four people who had basketball experience, he said. “We have to be a lot better than these other [teams],” said Davis. “We don’t have the height and size they do.” Davis said defense and teamwork overcame the odds to get them to the championship. For the past three years, the Lakers came in third place in the youth basketball season. Following the game, the players from both
teams received words of encouragement and were awarded trophies by their coaches and Chris Williams, the Youth Sports manager for the base. Williams thanked all the family and friends who attended the game and recognized the coaches for their hard work getting their teams to the championship.

will come to you.” Offense wasn’t an issue for the Lakers earlier in the season, said Richard Davis, Lakers’ head coach. The players who were in the previous game against the Blazers couldn’t play in the championship game due to injuries. Aside from that, the Lakers were the smallest team in the season

Camp Johnson athletes kick away schoolhouse blues with indoor soccer SGT. RACHEL K. A. MOORE
2nd Marine Logistics Group
Nine teams came together for the second week of an intramural indoor soccer tournament at the Goettge Memorial Field House aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune March 3. The day consisted of nine games. Each game was 40 minutes long and played on the basketball court in the field house. Among the colorful array of jerseys filling the gym were the fluorescent lime-green jerseys worn by a team of students from Camp Johnson. Camp Johnson’s team was known as DMO. During the first week of the tournament, DMO won both games, and they were ready to face their next opponent. “I feel confident,” said Pfc. Haley Wolle, a student at Camp Johnson, and the only female player on DMO. “I love my team. We have good chemis-
try, and we only played together for a month.” The good chemistry could come from the students’ relationship with each other. They are currently in the same military occupational specialty course to become distribution management specialists. “We’re all in the same class right now at Camp Johnson, so we talk to each other,” said Pfc. Luis Gil, a student at Camp Johnson and a player on DMO. “Other teams don’t talk to each other, but we’re always talking so we know where each player is. Before even looking up you know your teammate is in front of you so you can make a run – and it’s how goals are made.” The team won their first game of the day, 3-1, but one of the players said there’s still stuff they need to work on. “A lot of us freak out, and we just want to get rid of the ball,” said Pfc.

when DMO beat the team from 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment 4-3. The students say they enjoy spending the day at the field house as it breaks up the monotony of their school-house routine. “We workout in the
morning with the other students,” explained Gil. “Then we shower and come to play soccer. Everyone else, right now, is in the barracks. They’re bored, and we’re here.” “It’s good company,” said Wolle, describing the
environment of the soccer tournament. “Everyone here is happy to be here.” The next series of games will commence Saturday at the field house at 10 a.m. Families and friends can watch the games for free.

A student from Brewster Middle School races after a basketball during a Hoops-N-Dreams jamboree at Goettge Memorial Field House aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Feb. 22. Volunteers from around the base helped coach and referee for the program, which emphasizes respect and character on the court as a teaching method for the students’ daily lives. BASKETBALL FROM 1B has the chance to fully participate. “We’re 100-percent acceptance,� said Emilio Garza, the principal of Brewster Middle School. “We have students who are very successful at different things, and it’s what we focus on – trying to help them become better people.� The volunteers mentored by example and demonstrated attributes of teamwork by their own actions during the game. Instead of standing on the sidelines, yelling plays or coaching from the bench, the coaches ran with the students, encouraged them, and involved every player – regardless of basketball skill level. The jamboree consisted of two basketball games with family-fun events during time-outs, halftimes, and other breaks. Events included Daddy-and-Me and Mommy-and-Me shooting contests, a freethrow contest, and a three-point shooting contest. While competition is part of the program, the emphasis is on personal development. “Yes, it’s nice to win, but it’s not the outcome we’re looking for out here,� said Garza, who was at Brewster Middle School for nearly a year and a half. “Some of the (students) were recommended by teachers. “In fact, I recommended a couple myself because of what it’s all about,�
continued Garza. “It is mentoring. It is helping the students make good choices. What you’re seeing out there is just the playing of basketball.� Basketball is the tool the volunteers use to teach the students, said Garza. The children vary in ages and skill levels, but on the court they play as a team. Garza gives all the credit to Barbosa, who started the program at the beginning of the school year when she pitched the idea to him. She also took the lead in finding volunteers from around the base to support weekly events. “It brings back memories,� said Taylor. “I can see myself in a couple of the kids – the way they smile and just have fun playing.� Every practice and jamboree includes teaching moments. The service members conduct short skits and host discussions about respect, courtesy, responsibility and a sense of belonging, as well as help the kids hone their basketball skills on the court. It is the emphasis on character that allows the kids to enjoy the game even though they come from such diverse backgrounds and a variety of situations, noted Garza. “They are all contributing to their team’s effort,� he said. “There are not going to be any losers tonight.�

Students, teachers and staff go on parade as their favorite literary characters during the celebration of Dr. Seuss’ birthday and Read Across America week at Tarawa Terrace Elementary School aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area Feb. 28.

here were giggles and wiggles and folks of all sizes dressed in hats and capes and hairy surprises. A couple of Things and a cat led the way for the parade of students to have their say. “Books are the best,” they shouted with glee. “More than anything else, we love to read.” Scores of students marched as their favorite book characters during a parade marking the birthday of Dr. Seuss, the famous children’s author, at Tarawa Terrace Elementary School aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area Feb. 28. “This is part of our Seussarian celebration,” said Leigh Anne Kapiko, school principal. “It brings the whole community together, and the kids feel part of something bigger.” Although the character parade was the highlight of Read Across America week at the school, the teachers and staff prepared fun activities every day, including decorating classroom doors, wearing silly socks and chowing down on green eggs and ham. “They really get into it with a common Layout by Becca Keller
goal of creating a fun week of learning,” Kapiko explained. “They even become competitive. Their creativity is seemingly boundless.” Excitement filled every classroom as guest speakers visited throughout the week to read stories to the young students. Kim Gorry, wife of Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry, commanding general for Marine Corps Installations East – MCB Camp Lejeune, jumped at the chance to participate. “I think the single most important thing you can do is read to a child,” she noted. “I love to see the looks on their faces when they’re enthralled by a story.” By focusing on classic Dr. Seuss stories for the week, teachers and staff were able to stoke the children’s love for literature in an entertaining way and re-emphasize the relevance of reading. “Dr. Seuss teaches so many good life lessons,” Kapiko stated. “The kids really latch on to the morals and deeper messages of the stories.” Carol Dula, the school’s media specialist, lit up as she spoke about books, reading, and how much fun the entire school had SEE PARADE 7C

Classic fairy tale takes dark turn while ‘Snitch’ surprises Now playing at Camp Lejeune “HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCHHUNTERS” (PG-13) “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” is a science fiction fantasy. In this spin of the wellknown fairy tale, Hansel & Gretel are now bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world. Fifteen years after Hansel and Gretel defeated the wicked witch who planned to have them for her dinner, the siblings have come of age as skilled bounty hunters. Hell-bent on retribution, they have dedicated their lives to hunting down and destroying every witch still lurking in the dark forests of their homeland. As the notorious blood moon approaches, the siblings face a great evil, one that could hold the secret to their terrifying past. Jeremy Renner (“The Bourne Legacy,” “Hurt Locker,” “The Town”) stars as Hansel. Gemma Arterton (“Quantum of Solace,” “Clash of the Titans”) stars as Gretel. After getting a taste for blood as children, Hansel and Gretel have become the ultimate vigilantes. Now, unbeknownst to them, Hansel and Gretel have become the hunted, and must face an evil far greater than witches of their past. Famke Janssen (“The Golden Eye,” “Taken 2”) co-stars as Muriel, the leader of a coven of evil
witches that they seek out to destroy. Peter Stormare (“The Last Stand”) can be seen as the brutal Sheriff Berringer; and Zoe Bell (“Django Unchained”) plays the Tall Witch. Director Tommy Wirkola (“Dead Snow”) took the centuries old folktale written by the Brothers Grimm and continued it with a larger story of vengeance and horror. “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” is an action adventure filmed in 3D that takes a darker spin on Hansel and Gretel who are now all grown up. However, the script is pretty lame and the movie as a whole is not worth watching. Now playing at the Patriot 12 and Carmike 16 in Jacksonville “SNITCH” (R) “Snitch” is an action thriller inspired by a true story about how far a father goes to save his son. The story centers on a father who makes a deal with United States Attorney to become an undercover informant when his teenage boy is wrongfully arrested for distributing drugs. Dwayne Johnson (“Fast Five,” “The Other Guys,” “Get Smart”) stars as John Matthews, an honest and straight-forward man, who runs a shipping company. When his son is implicated in a drug deal, looking at a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years, Matthews goes undercover for the DEA in

order to free his son. Desperate and determined to rescue his son at all costs, Matthews makes a deal with the U.S. attorney to work as an undercover informant and infiltrate a drug cartel on a dangerous mission, risking everything, including his new family and his own life. Susan Sarandon (“Arbitrage,” “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”) portrays the political ambitious U.S. Attorney Joanne Keeghan. Benjamin Pratt (TVs “Private Practice”) co-stars as the suave and dangerous Juan Carlos, top dog at a Mexican drug cartel. Also starring are Jon Bernthal (“Ramport”) as Daniel Cruz, one of Matthews’ employees who has done time and assists him in his mission, Michael Kenneth Williams (TV’s “Boardwalk Empire”) as Malik, a dangerous street

Veteran advocate leaves lasting legacy AMY BINKLEY
Assistant managing editor
When a good man dies, a wave of grief splashes on the shores of the hearts of those who knew him well. When a great man dies, the rippling effect reaches far beyond what anyone can see. The Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Onslow County communities bid a final farewell to the “great mediator,” Joseph Randolph “Randy” Reichler, retired affairs officer aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, as he was laid to rest at the Coastal Carolina State Veterans Cemetery in Jacksonville, N.C., March 1. “They say no one is irreplaceable, but he’s pretty close,” said Verl Matthews, Military Order of the Purple Heart commander. Matthews is one of a countless number of lives Reichler’s generosity and giving spirit touched through his work as an advocate for veterans and their families for nearly two decades aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. “I’ll remember him as a good friend, and someone who always put others before himself,” commented Paul Levesque, president of Rolling Thunder NC-5. “I was totally inspired by him.” After serving 24 years in the Navy as a corpsman, 16 spent side-by-side with Marines, Reichler hung up his uniform, but he never closeted the heart for serving he learned throughout his military career. He refused to equate retirement with stopping and instead jumped headfirst into the veteran community ready to help where he was needed.
They say no one is irreplaceable, but (Randy Reichler) is pretty close. Verl Matthews, Military Order of the Purple Heart commander
“Working with veteran organizations is like walking a tight rope. Randy was the safety net. Where we fell, he caught us,” admitted Mike Fresia, who worked as Reichler’s adjutant during his tenure as the local Disabled American Veterans commander. “He was only ever a phone call away, and he knew everything.” Fresia agreed with Matthews saying how Reichler’s reach in the community was so wide one person will not be able to take his place. “Randy was the cohesion between all the groups. He was a man without boundaries in the veteran community,” Fresia commented. “He worked hard, sat in the background and never did it for acclaim. They’ll feel him by his absence.” Men of war are no strangers to death, but whether on the battlefield or in a nursing home, losing a brother-in-arms is never easy. Tears flowed freely in the days following Reichler’s passing, and as his fellow veterans gathered to share memories, Reichler’s legacy became clear. “You can’t describe Randy without talking about what he did for everyone,” explained Dan Joy, a longtime friend of Reichler’s. “He’s the kind of guy you could look through and still like the picture. He had an uncanny knack to see what needed to be done and suggest how to accomplish
the mission. He always went the extra step.” Reichler’s lead-by-example approach earned him respect from his peers as well as members of younger generations. “He told me once, ‘You need to make a difference and give back,’” remembered John Bryant, DAV Chapter 16 commander. “It’s what he did. He had a way of finding the good in people. There’s a void that won’t be filled easily. It will take a long time for the veteran community to heal from this.” Although more often than not Reichler was found fighting for the rights of military widows and veterans’ families, he didn’t neglect his own. He proudly boasted of his wife, Mary Alice Gomez, and their 34 years of wedded bliss. The days he welcomed his daughter, Ita-Marie Sublett, and later his grandson Donnie into the world, it was hard to find a happier man. Still, his heart and dedication lay with
the families of veterans and being their voice when they couldn’t speak. “I spoke to him the Friday before he passed,” mused Levesque. “He told me he couldn’t wait to get back to work. He was focused on helping veterans. He didn’t want to quit. Regardless of his illness, he wanted to help people. He was so dedicated.” Even in death, Reichler put others first. In lieu of flowers, he requested donations be made to the local DAV. Hundreds of people, military and civilians alike, came to pay their respects during Reichler’s funeral held at Brookwood Baptist Church in Jacksonville, N.C., and a handful had the opportunity to share memories of their friend. His serious work didn’t keep him from making others laugh, even if it meant moon-walking in front of their office window. He didn’t complain even when the phone rang off the hook and a line of people stretched out the door in the hopes of receiving advice and guidance. He wasn’t just a good man; he was a great man. In the end, all that remains is a person’s story. Reichler didn’t just star in his own but he made thousands of appearances in others’. Goodbyes are temporary. Legacies live forever.

Library hosts Seuss-ational birthday bash AMY BINKLEY
Assistant managing editor
Oh the places he took both the big and small with friends who were grinchy or fishy or tall. His stories came from silly thoughts where cats wore hats and green eggs were bought. So whether sneetch or wocket or things letting loose, everyone wish happy birthday to Dr. Seuss. More than 125 guests of all ages attended the birthday bash for the beloved children’s author at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune March 2. “We opened it up to
all ages because everyone loves Dr. Seuss,” explained Jana Guitar, programs director. “We were really surprised by the turnout. We had to turn people away.” Most of the fans in attendance had the date marked on their calendars for months, Guitar noted. In the children’s room at the back of the library, kids and adults alike sat enraptured as special guests read classic Seuss tales like “The Lorax” and “Green Eggs and Ham.” “(Dr. Seuss’) wrote different kinds of stories. Some are silly, but some really have a message,” Guitar said. “He was able to get on a child’s level
so they can immediately relate with the stories. At the same time, the books are very relatable for adults as well. They’re an escape from reality to a fun world.” As Lori Bradford from the Station Library aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River reprised her role as the Cat in the Hat, children colored, played games and made crafts. Sean Pittman, library technician and lifelong Seuss fan, looks forward to the party every year. “I get to read a classic book of literature to kids,” he stated. “Even if you get tongue-tied or go too fast, the kids are going to like it no matter what. Books are fun, and Dr. Seuss is one
of the greatest children’s authors of all time.” Observing the generations of readers roaming through the library, Pittman noted how the author reaches all kinds of people regardless of age, race or background with his silly approach to serious things. “No matter how old you are, if you hear Dr. Seuss, you know what you’re getting,” he said. A birthday party isn’t complete without cake and a song, and all the guests joined in the familiar tune before devouring the afternoon snack. For more information on library events call 451-3026.
In life, teamwork and focus are very important aspects of getting a job done in a successful manner. When we focus on God by praising him and relying on his help, and when we work as a team, victory is a much more likely outcome, regardless of what we may face. In Exodus 17:8-16, Moses and the nation of Israel are facing a huge challenge. They are in their first battle against an enemy since leaving Egypt. Joshua, Moses’ assistant, was the military leader of Israel’s fighting force. Moses instructed him to choose men, go out and fight with the nation of Amalek. During this combat, Moses was going to stand on top of the hill overlooking the battle with the staff of God in his hands. When Moses held the staff in the air the nation of Israel was winning the battle. When Moses lowered his hands, the nation of Amalek began winning. The raising of the staff represented praise and prayer to God. Moses was praising God and declaring dependency on him for victory in the ongoing battle. However, Moses became tired. Two of Moses’ friends, Aaron and Hur, held Moses’ hands up until the day and battle ended victoriously for Israel. While Joshua and the nation of Israel were fighting, Moses, Aaron and Hur were praising God and praying for victory. As individuals and families, we also face battles in life. There are times when we may have a loved one who is physically engaged in combat in a war zone. There are also times when we may have a loved one caught up in spiritual or emotional warfare. Either type of warfare can be equally real and dangerous. Moses gives us a great example to follow. Continually focusing on God, praising him and crying out to him for help can bring victory. Joshua was too involved in the hands-on battle to praise God or pray. Moses interceded for him. Often, those we care about are in no position or frame of mind to pray to and praise God. We can cry out to God for them. However, just as Moses grew weary, we also can grow weary of continually interceding for others. Moses needed a team to support and encourage him. We also need friends to support, encourage and pray with us as we praise God and intercede for those loved ones in warfare. The nation of Israel gained victory in the battle through God’s intercession. Teamwork and God’s grace enabled them to persevere. Likewise, if we stay focused on God in praise and prayer, and surround ourselves with the encouragement and prayer from warriors who will join us, victory can be ours as well.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.
Stone Bay opens new Marine Mart CPL. ANTHONY KIRBY
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Marines and Marine Corps Community Service representatives gathered at Stone Bay aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune for the ribbon cutting of the new Marine Mart recently. It was the grand opening for the second facility aboard the base, which will be the primary shopping mart for Marines to get uniform items, haircuts, equipment and a variety of other necessities. The original Marine Mart will be converted into a snack bar. The Marine Corps Special
Operations Command Marines are the primary reason for the new mart coming into existence, said Robert Jones, the retail operations manager for all Marine Marts. Its purpose is to cater to the MARSOC Marines’ needs. The mart was designed with the thought of future expansion, but it’s not determined when the expansion will take place, said Jones. A group of MARSOC Marines at the grand opening said they are glad it’s closer to where they live, and are pleased with the bigger selection of items available and the extended business hours. The old mart was a half-mile
walk away from where they live. “It’s definitely going to be a lot better than walking in the rain from the barracks to the (old Marine Mart),” said Cpl. Adam Burnahm, a MARSOC Marine aboard Stone Bay. Sgt. Maj. Toshia Sundermier, sergeant major of Weapons Training Battalion aboard Stone Bay, said they’re lucky to have the new facility, and she’s glad it’s there for the Marines. “Everybody else in the Marine Corps has a (Marine Mart) close to them,” said Sundermier. “These Marines, all the way out here, didn’t have it, now they do.”
PARADE FROM 1C throughout the week. “It’s important for kids to know reading opens up a world of learning,” she responded. “It takes them outside of their reality. Reading is key to life.” Educators aren’t immune to the influence of technology on the younger generation, but Dula countered how books still have a place in culture and society. “Technology moves so fast,” she said. “With books and stories, the kids have time to digest it.” Kapiko echoed Dula’s statements and explained how the school keeps up with the fast-paced transition. “The purpose for reading has changed,” Kapiko affirmed. “In elementary school, we focus a lot of our attention on reading nonfiction so (students) can learn to discriminate between fact and fiction.” She realizes the internet provides an infinite amount of information and is typically the first place people look for answers. “We recognize it’s where they’re headed, and we want (our students) to be able to distinguish

children’s day-to-day lives. “Our staff makes efforts to be a familyfriendly place because we understand we’re part of a bigger mission,” she remarked. “In the military, the only constant is change. Teachers are there all year. Sometimes

NHCL focuses on patient safety LANCE CPL. JOSHUA W. GRANT
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
Your spouse is sick, the only place open at 2 a.m. is the hospital. You get evaluated and receive medication, but the sickness only gets worse. Thousands of hospital patients worldwide are given the wrong medications or have records misplaced every year, but during National Patient Safety Week, the Naval Hospital aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is doing its part to prevent any mishaps. NPSW began with the formation of National Patient Safety Organization in 1997 whose main goal is to improve the safety of care provided to patients. The concept behind NPSW is to prevent avoidable harm and mistakes. Having systems fail such as communication or records management can cause wrong medications to be distributed, but it is preventable, stated Lindy Eatherington, the Patient Safety Manager at NHCL. “There is a process of validation for a patient’s full name and date of birth to ensure we have the correct chart, health records and the right labs to certify the correct test results end up with the proper patient,” said Eatherington. “NPSW is designed to raise the awareness not only for our patients, but our staff. Our goal is to have our patients involved in their care, so they understand what their health care provider is telling them and to make sure they ask questions.” The National Patient Safety Foundation has an ‘Ask me 3’ program in place to encourage patients’ involvement in their healthcare. Patients should communicate with their provider and be clear as to what their main concern is, what they need to do, and why it’s important to follow through with the doctor’s course of action. Physical systems, such as electronic record keeping, were set up to alleviate communication problems, added Eatherington. “Sometimes portions of records need to be seen by different sections in the hospital, and the systems created help it greatly,” said Eatherington. “If a mother has a baby and pediatrics needs to see something on the mother’s record, the information is easily accessible with the systems established.” Eatherington stated individuals as well as family members need to advocate for themselves when it comes to medical attention. “They need to ask questions, they need to get involved,” said Eatherington. “If a family member needs to come to an appointment to help understand what happened or if a family member can help with the discharge process, it’s a great thing.” Medical exams and appointments may seem monotonous to service members, but with National Patient Safety Week the process behind keeping patients and health care providers educated is a yearly renewal.

Rules, Regulations and tips on placing FRee tRadeR ads oR loW-cost classiFieds How to Use Classifieds on our Website Using the Classified link on our website (www.camplejeuneglobe.com), you'll be able to build your own classified ad, preview it, and pay for it online using your Visa or MasterCard credit card! For those of you who qualify for placing TRADER ADS, you can use this online service, too. Before you begin, keep a couple of things in mind. • Do Not Abbreviate, hyphenate or combine any word with the use of slashes, commas, or periods. • You MUST have a space between words. • Please spell everything out and type in LOWER CASE, we will put your first few words of your ad in UPPER CASE and bold • Your ad will run weekly, starting on THURSDAY(s) and will publish in BOTH the Globe newspaper & Globe website for the number of weeks you select. You can not run your classified ad on individual days. • Deadline for Classified and Trader ads is Thursday 11a.m. EST, one week prior to publication date. *Deadlines may be earlier during weeks of major holidays. The preview you will see of your ad is a close approximation of how the ad will appear in the newspaper. In most cases, it will be exactly the same; however, no matter how different it may appear in print, your price will not change. All of the following pages are
secured using 128-bit encryption, so you can feel safe about using your credit card online. Your ad will be reviewed by our Classified Specialists before your credit card will be charged. However, at no time is your credit card information seen by a live person - that's all done electronically without human intervention and the click of a button. You always have the option to view the price and ad before paying for it. If you experience any problems using our Classified Ad Buying system, feel free to reference our HELP page or call (910) 347-9624.
