As Marines shouted “look left, look right, back blast area all secure … Rocket!” an earth shaking bang echoed through the trees as shoulder-launched multipurpose assault weapons were fired at dummy tanks. Marines from 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division shot SMAWs as part of their training aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune July 24. The purpose of the training was to refresh the weapons platoon Marines with the SMAW and to let those Marines, such as mortarman,

machine gunners and up and coming assaultman who never shot the weapon, get the training as well. Before firing, the Marines ran through dry runs to practice firing, loading, unloading and what the remedial action is if there is a misfire. “This training is extremely beneficial especially for the Marines who don’t get a chance to do stuff like this often, if ever,” Staff Sgt. Eugene Carle Jr., a weapons platoon sergeant and the range safety officer, said. “I was on my second enlistment before I ever shot a SMAW, so I’m glad I can get these Marines out here early on to shoot a weapon like this so they get the training and

experience needed.” Once they were finished with dry runs they shot spotting rounds at the tanks to make sure they were on target. They then loaded the 83mm rockets and began firing at the objective. “We don’t do training like this too often. When we can we try and have fun with it, and make it a good learning experience for all the Marines,” said Carle. For Marines like Cpl. Brandyn Burke, an assault section leader, it was his last chance to give back what was taught to him. He is trying to make a lateral move to the explosive ordnance SEE WEAPON 7A

Helicopter Support Team races against time, weather

News Briefs

LANCE CPL. PAUL PETERSON 2nd Marine Logistics Group

The sound of the helicopter’s rotor blades echoed over the tree canopy announcing the aircraft’s arrival. The Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion churned hard against the evening’s humid air, and raised a gust of wind and debris over Training Landing Zone Phoenix as it prepared to lift its simulated cargo July 24. The seven Marines on the ground make up a Helicopter Support Team from Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group. Another storm was descending upon Holly Ridge, N.C., so they needed to move quickly. This training represented an important part of the unit’s forward deployed capabilities: supplying troops in Afghanistan with transportable goods regardless of weather conditions. “It’s extremely vital,” said Sgt. Kip Buedel, a landing support specialist with the battalion. “Where I was (in Afghanistan), we had to make sure these things happened no matter what the weather was or what was going on in the outlying areas.” The wind from the rotor blades created a rippling sea in the field of grass and washed over Cpl. Nash Helms, the team leader. He braced himself against the gust of wind and stood ready to grasp the ropes used to secure the cargo to the helicopter. “When the bird first comes toward you, you feel that gust of wind, and it’s a shock to your system,” said Helms. “You’re getting prepared. Then all of a sudden it’s calm, and you’re sitting underneath the bird.” The helicopter’s body shielded members of the team as they attached a thick metal beam to the aircraft to simulate the weight and bulk of military cargo. Members of the team linked ropes from the beam to the aircraft. Helms cautiously guided the ropes through the process to prevent them from entangling the helicopter and loading crew. Strong wind and debris are not the only hazards the crew trains to defeat. The Super Stallion is capable of producing up to 200,000 volts of static electricity and can be fatal, said Helms. That is why the team trains to properly ground the aircraft. A “static” man tames the current with a grounding pole as the rest of the team guides the aircraft and attaches the cargo. The lifting capability of the Super Stallion not only generates raw electrical power, but its external load-bearing ability bridges many of the logistical challenges Marines face in the field. “A lot of this is very important to some of the more SEE HELICOPTER 7A

SemperSafe Safe By Ron Farris

Base provides ORV safety courses Marine Corps Cor Installations East – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is offering safety training for all active duty military and appropriated and non-appropriated civilian employees who are required to operate off-road vehicles in the performance of their duties. If you own a dirt bike, all terrain vehicle or a utility terrain vehicle you owe it to yourself to learn to operate it safely. Enroll in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Dirt Bike Course or the ATV/UTV course. Both courses are hands-on and provided by a licensed instructor. These courses offer students an opportunity to increase their safety knowledge and to practice basic riding skills in a controlled environment. Dirt bike safety: Dirt bikes can be fun and exciting. One thing you must keep in mind is that the limits and capabilities of your dirt bike are based on the level of your riding skills. Take your time and learn the basics before attempting anything extreme. Only time can give you experience

and develop your riding skills. ATV/UTV Safety: These off-road machines have become popular for work and play. Unfortunately, mishaps resulting in serious injury and death have increased along with their popularity. Most of these mishaps can be attributed to the improper use of the vehicle, reckless behavior and disregard for responsible operation of the vehicle. Operating an ATV or UTV should be done in safe and responsible manner. Here are a few safety tips to get started on developing your dirt bike or ATV or UTV riding skills. - Always perform a pre-ride inspection of your dirt bike, ATV or UTV. - Don’t go riding alone, and carry a first aid pack and tool kit with you. - Wear bright-colored clothing to increase visibility to others. - Use a ramp for loading and unloading to avoid back injuries. - Don’t ride off-road vehicles that are too tall or powerful for your capabilities.

- Watch for hidden obstacles in sandy, snowy or muddy conditions. - Stay off public highways. - Avoid following too closely behind another rider. - Never ride while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. - Never carry a passenger on an off-road vehicle designed for a single rider. - No child under the age of 8 should operate an ATV or UTV. Children ages 8 through 15 must be supervised by a person 18 years of age or older. - Children ages 8 through 11 should only operate an ATV or UTV with an engine size of 70 cc or less and children ages 12 through 15 should stay under 90 cc’s. To register for either course: Go online to navymotorcyclerider.com or contact the MCIEast-MCB Camp Lej Safety Department at 451-5725. To register in person, stop by the safety department at building 58 located on Virginia Dare Dr.

Mortarmen stay proficient, new forward observers call shots SGT. BRYAN PETERSON 2nd Marine Division

“Fire Mission. Marines, get to your guns,” yelled Sgt. Jacob B. Elliot, a mortar section leader with 81mm mortar platoon, Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. Cpl. Jeremiah Fernandez from the Fire Direction Control yelled grid coordinates, which, in return the Marines repeated loudly so no one has an excuse. “Gun Two, deflection, two, seven, zero, zero,” the FDC Marine yelled. “Roger. Two, seven, zero, zero,” yelled Cpl. David Rohwer, the Gun Two leader. Gun Two shoots first, as the other two gun positions refer to their corrections, ensuring all positions are parallel. Fernandez yells out more descriptive coordinates to the Gun

Two Marines, to which, Rohwer repeats, “Gun Two, deflection. Three, one, seven, eight, charge two. Elevation, one, two, four, niner.” Rohwer’s Marines send rounds down range. The Marines with 81mm mortar platoon repeated the fire mission throughout their first day of training. They spent July 24 through 26 at MP-2 and MP-3 ranges, using the crawl, walk, run methodology. From the outside looking in, accurately placing indirect mortar fire on enemy positions, where in most situations Marines can’t see the enemy, looks tough enough. The “infantrymen’s artillery,” as the mortar community is sometimes referred to, is responsible for assisting advancing infantry ground units in any situation deemed unsustainable. “It’s not that hard,” said Lance Cpl. Adam Flores, a mortarman with the platoon. “Obviously, if

you do something over and over again, it comes (naturally) to you.” The next two days became multifaceted, as the platoon integrated a myriad of scenarios. “We are making this as complex as possible,” said 1st Lt. William Peek, the platoon’s commander. “We put new forward observers in the (observation) towers. They are the eyes and ears. They are learning to assess the battlefield, call in fire missions, assess the fire missions, and make adjustments from there. “We took the Marines who had a good grasp of the mortar firing systems and put them in those positions,” Peek continued. Also, the battalion, hasn’t deployed since 2010 and this training helps keep the Marines proficient as noncombat-related deployments SEE MORTARMEN 7A

Regional Command Southwest

After a successful deployment as the commanding officer of Marine Corps Logistics Command (Forward), Col. Christopher J. Michelsen relinquished command to Lt. Col. Matthew S. Cook, who will now be in charge of the unit’s responsibilities to support International Security Assistance Forces and Marine Corps Forces Central Command with logistical support. “Marine Corps Logistics Command’s mission is to sustain the (Marine Air Ground

Task Force) with operational logistics support,” said Michelsen. “In addition to that, we do other missions directed by MarCent, and support the commandant’s reset strategy via the reset, redeployment and retrograde.” The role of MCLC (Fwd.) has expanded throughout the last six months with the drawdown of troops. In accordance with the commandant’s reset strategy, MCLC (Fwd.) is helping decrease the Marine Corps’ presence in Afghanistan and increasing their workload because of drawdowns throughout the country. They

keep Marines supplied with items such as vehicles and parts while making sure the units still deployed have what they need, said Michelsen. The Marines control many moving parts, with several units leaving Afghanistan. Because it is their role to see that their gear leaves as well, MCLC (Fwd.) grew about four times in manpower during Michelson’s deployment to help with the dramatic increase of their activity. “We grew substantially in size,” said Michelsen. “From a small handful of Marines and contractors to an organiza-

tion of almost 400 personnel in strength. While growing in size, we have refined our processes on how we manage equipment.” The Marines who make up MCLC (Fwd.) are sourced from all parts of the Marine Corps. “They built a great team and I’m looking forward to the next few months,” said Cook, during his speech at the ceremony. “There’s going to be a lot of changes, but the team Col. Michelsen built will be able to perform more than the task at hand.” With the increase in work, the personnel have been refin-

ing their methods to increase efficiency. “The Marines and the contractors have performed marvelously,” said Michelsen. “In tough environmental conditions, they’ve worked extremely hard, and they have done a great job in maintaining tight procedures.” Michelsen has enjoyed being a part of MCLC (Fwd.) at such a crucial time in their legacy. “It’s an honor and a pleasure to command such an organization, and I’m humbled every day to work with such a strong team of Marines and contractors,” he said.

Marines with 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group guide a multi-purpose tractor during a field exercise at Mile Hammock Bay aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune July 25. The battalion used the training as a chance to prepare for a field exercise called Joint Logistics Off Shore Exercise scheduled for August.

Two engineer support battalions work as one PFC. FRANKLIN MERCADO 2nd Marine Logistics Group

Marines from 6th and 8th Engineer Support Battalions tested their forward deployed capabilities during a week-long exercise July 23 through 27. While deployed to places like Afghanistan, engineer support Marines provide service members with potable water used for drinking and cooking, water for showers and other hygiene stations, as well as repair driving routes that are regularly used by heavy up-armored vehicles. During their training exercise, they purified thousands of gallons of water and set up eight showers near Mile Hammock Bay, a training area adjacent to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. They also improved about one mile of road at Onslow Beach. Together, the battalions

set up a Tactical Water Purification System and a LightWeight Water Purification System to pump clean water into tanks. There were three 20,000-gallon and two 50,000-gallon tanks that had to be filled. “We have a lot of water to pump, and they’re really helping us,� said Lance Cpl. Mario MedenaValdez, a water support technician with 8th ESB, on the third day of training. “We’re working well together. We have 37,000 gallons of water already, so we’re setting a good pace.� Marines from both battalions completed the mission as if they’d been working together for longer than the beginning of the week. “Sixth ESB has stepped up and helped us out with this exercise,� said 1st Lt. Lennie Jackson, the Engineer Support Company executive officer. “With (most of) 8th ESB deployed now, we are

limited in the number of personnel we have.� The training is not only helping 8th ESB meet training requirements, but it’s helping prepare the Marines of 6th ESB for Afghanistan. They are slated to deploy in the upcoming months. “They’re doing an outstanding job,� Capt. Donald Galloway, the ES company commander, said about the Marines of 6th ESB. “They are very motivated.� Throughout the training both battalions kept motivation and work ethic at a high level. The unit’s showed they are truly capable of performing multiple missions at the same time. There was no better time for 6th ESB to prove they are capable of taking the reins upon arriving in Afghanistan, with the battalion taking authority from 8th ESB’s forward deployed element. They seized the opportunity.

Napoleonic ‘King of Battle’ artillery Marines support RCT CPL. KENNETH JASIK Regimental Combat Team 6

Napoleon once referred to artillery as the king of the battlefield. That’s how Marines with Battery F, 2nd Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 6, look at their deployment. Battery F operated in Kajaki for about four months, firing their Howitzers, providing base security and conducting patrols to the Kajaki District Center for key leader engagements. “We provide direct support for 1st Bn., 8th Marines and 2nd Bn., 5th Marines,” said Sgt. Tucker J. Ward, section chief, Battery F.

“We’ve fired all kinds of artillery for them. In case they get in situations they can’t get out of, we will drop a smoke screen or (high explosives) on a target for them.” For many of the Marines, deploying with Battery F is an exciting opportunity because artillery Marines don’t usually get the opportunity to fire in the volumes seen in Kajaki. “We don’t fire every day,” said Tucker. “Sometimes there are days where we fire a whole lot.” While the fire missions are helping infantry Marines complete their missions, Battery F Marines are also conducting patrols to the nearby district center. They support the Marines who regularly

meet with the district governor. “We head down to the DC every couple of days, and while we’re there we provide security,” said Cpl. Christopher A. Turner, section chief, Battery F. The Marines say their security mission in the district center is important, but their main role is their firing mission. They say their role is important because they are potentially saving friendly lives when they fire. “We assisted the grunts in clearing out the area north of Kajaki,” said Turner. “They’ve had big operations in that area, and because of our support they were able to complete their missions with minimal casualties.”

Zemar Robert Foundation to provide financial assistance Last Thursday night, several retirees and I went to the Marine Corps League in Greenville, N.C., to attend their meeting. One of the retirees presented a $10,000 donation to begin the Zemar Roberts Foundation, which was named after a corpsman who served in Iraq on several deployments. The foundation will also provide assistance with the “Home Away from Home” project, which was created to provide lodging and meals to supporting family members with spouses or children in Pitt County Memorial Hospital. The Home Away from Home is an essential asset to many families in their most serious hours of need. Every year, dozens of active-duty service members are transferred each year to PCMH to be treated for injuries or illnesses, which are usually life-threatening. Many of the service members’ families travel many miles to Greenville, N.C. The detachment’s mission is to provide some comfort, stability and a shoulder to lean on and in some cases, financial assistance. Their vision is to provide a “home away from home” and let the families focus more on their injured or ill family member. The efforts of the League began in early 2005 when detachment members became aware of a vehicle accident involving an active-duty Marine. When his family members arrived, they had difficulty

paying for berthing and food, because PCMH is within 100 mile limit of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, so financial assistance could not be provided by the command. The detachment took up a collection and paid for the berthing and meals, so the family could maximize the time with their injured loved one without distraction. The detachment also recently began supporting the family members of neo-natal babies in serious distress that are medically evacuated to the pediatric unit of PCMH from Camp Lejeune, when the local Ronald McDonald House is full. This has increased the financial burden on them, but the payoff is helping many young military families in the worst time of their lives. The detachment is usually notified by staff at PCMH, MCB Camp Lejeune, or Cherry Point, when an injured service member is transported there. The detachment member works hard to make contact with the families, accommodate their needs and finding ways to acquaint them with the area. The cost to the league over the years has been more than $23 thousand dollars and has provided services to more than 131 families of Camp Lejeune. Naturally, the organization will need financial support to continue this service. If someone wishes to contribute or contact them e-mail mail@downeastmcl.com or call 451-0287.

fter three deployments as an infantry machine gunner, Sgt. Perry M. Boykin wanted nothing more than to get back to the fight. So when an opportunity to head to Afghanistan as an individual augment came his way, he jumped at the chance. Now operating as the security manger noncommissioned officer, Boykin is responsible for screening appropriate security clearances and controlling the flow of sensitive information within the Regional Command Southwest compound. “I’ll take the request for our computer network, and judge MORTARMEN FROM 3A are, as Peek put it, “on the horizon.” The platoon conducted fire missions, such as search and traverse, and suppression and marking. Search and traverse fire missions are used against an enemy’s flanking or frontal movements with firing left or right with no range changes (traverse) and firing against a deep target with elevation changes without changes to direction (search). Suppression and marking is simply, as Peek put it, “You have an enemy antiaircraft system in one area and an enemy tank in the other. Mortarmen will simply engage the anti-aircraft system and mark next to the tank for friendly air support to take the tank out.” Early July 25, the Marines knew they were going to receive a fire mission while on patrol, but Flores said it didn’t matter what type, they just needed to get off the road and set up their mortar firing systems fast and effectively. The Marines were on a patrol known as hip shoots, as the saying goes, “shooting from the hip.” It was reminiscent from the day prior, minus the deliberate pause, the allotted

whether or not it should be approved,” said Boykin. “Our office maintains the security of this compound. Whether it’s physical security or network security, we take care of it.” Transitioning from his role as a combat-hardened infantry squad leader to working as a security manager has been a challenge for Boykin, but he takes the same “grunt” work ethic to his new role. “You have to be meticulous with the job,” said Boykin. “You have to be stern and confident as well because if you allow people to walk all over you, the security of this compound is compromised, and I won’t let that happen.” During previous deployments with the 13th and 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit as well as

time to set up their gun positions once they dismounted their seven-ton vehicles. The Marines, nearing the next range with only about 100 feet to go, heard “Fire mission!” from Fernandez and sprinted toward the firing line – all carrying components of the mortar firing system. The Marines had to quickly set up, knowing the FDC Marines were receiving grid coordinates from the FOs in the observation tower. “If this were Afghanistan, we’d have to dig pits around our positions all the time,” said Flores. “We have to, essentially, (battlesite zero) the guns with compasses to take the error out. After that, we receive our coordinates and fire. Every time this weapon fires, it moves – which doesn’t make much of a difference. If it moves too much, we have to readjust. “You move with a sense of urgency, though, because Marines could be pinned down ahead of us and are depending on us,” he added. “We have to depend on the FO, because we can’t see the targets. Marines are getting shot at, so we have to do it right.”

WEAPON FROM 1A disposal field soon. “I plan on trying to move over to (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), so this is one of the last field exercises I will get a chance to do. I want to pass on everything I know,” said Burke. “I enjoyed spending time with 2nd Bn., 2nd Marines, but it will be sad leaving them. I have learned a lot being here.” After the training was finished and the last rocket fired, the Marines gathered around to discuss what went well and to thank the Marines who assisted the junior Marines in teaching them the basics.

Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group secure load-bearing ropes to simulated cargo before attaching the load to a Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion during a training mission near Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune July 24. HELICOPTER FROM 1A remote outposts where they can’t normally truck goods in on the roads,” said Buedel. Super Stallions offer swift transport solutions for medical supplies, food, ammunition and vital equipment such as vehicles, which cannot be transported inside the helicopters. The helicopter hoisted their first set of simulated supplies and tilted forward. Sand pecked the exposed areas of the team’s skin as the wash from the departing aircraft once more engulfed the Marines. Dark clouds crept over the clearing, and the Super Stallion swung its cargo above the woods, turned and headed back onto the field where the team detached the load and prepared to start again. Precision and coordination come with time and repetition. Buedel, who performed similar operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, concluded by saying each flight at TLZ Phoenix was an opportunity to sharpen the team’s performance.

with 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, Boykin learned how to lead in any situation. “On the MEU, my guys and I taught the Jordanian Army how to shoot, move and communicate, and we also taught the Indonesian Marines the same principles of war fighting,” Boykin said. “Anytime we went through pirated waters on ship, our section would man the machine gun posts and wait to see if any would-be pirates would be dumb enough to try something,” he said with a laugh. “In Iraq, we patrolled hundreds of times doing everything from killing bad guys to protecting a school while it was being built for Iraqi children,” Boykin added. Following the long-standing

tradition of military service in his family, Boykin always knew he wanted to be part of the military. But he joined the Marine Corps to have a more challenging life. “I joined the military to follow my family tradition. I joined the Marine Corps for the challenge, and I joined the infantry because I wanted to fight. I became a machine gunner because it seemed the like the hardest part of the infantry but definitely the most fun,” Boykin said. A husband and father of two, Boykin still finds time while deployed to make time for his family. “I talk with my daughters as often as I can. The best advice I can give them is to listen to their mom and to help out as

much as they can while daddy is away,” Boykin said. “I miss them, but what we do out here is important, and they will hopefully understand when they’re older.” Boykin, who has almost eight years in the Corps, has his sights set on staying in for at least 20 years and hopes to earn the rank of infantry weapons officer, also known as the gunner, within his job field. “I love the Marine Corps, I love what it stands for, and I couldn’t imagine not leading Marines,” Boykin said. “I want to head to the (School of Infantry) next year as an instructor, so I can set the new Marines up to succeed. If I can teach them the same professional way I was taught, then I’ll know I’ve made a difference.”

Intramural volleyball now attracts families JESSIE HEATH

Sports editor

verybody needs a method for letting loose. Whether you shake off the pressures of the day by spending time with family or go on a jog at the end of your workday, the ability to unwind is something our bodies require. For some couples, spending the evening curled up on the sofa watching TV, talking or playing games is the best way to relax after a day of work. Others, however, like to be more active. While Marine Corps Community Services aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune offers a wide variety of programs to patrons, athletes flock to the intramural volleyball program for it’s co-ed-friendly environment. “It’s nice to have something to do together,” said Cpl. Raeford Griffin, a member of 2nd Maintenance Battalion. “My wife and I like the ability to be on the same team and that we get to stay active together while we participate.” Griffin and his wife, who both play for the intramural team Spiked Punch, started their quest to the intramural volleyball program by seeking out events they could participate in together, as well as things that would SEE VOLLEYBALL 7B Photo by Jessie Heath

Anglers strive for big fish

I spent last weekend hunting for bait. For two days I sat on Emerald Isle with a five-gallon bucket, 12-foot cast net and sand spike. The Coast Guard Channel was full of bait but very little was feeding on it, lending me some excellent bait catches. On day one of bait fishing, I was disappointed. I worked the channel for flounder with finger mullet on a Carolina Rig but did not catch anything. On day two, I caught a plethora of bait-sized mullet. After proceeding to the west end of the point, I spent time casting and walking with the current, hoping to lure in a fish large enough to keep. After two days of disappointment, I took my bait-filled bucket and trekked east to the many

sandbars between the point and the Point Emerald Villas. I also fished near the Vehicle sandbar, Bob’s, the Bogus sandbar and several others. I was down to my last live mullet when I felt a subtle pick-up and short runoff. I quickly set the hook, knowing a drum was on the other end. Unlike Spanish mackerel or bluefish, which take control of the hooks and swim as far away from the shore as possible, drum are famous for their subtle bites and for running parallel to the shoreline. After 20 minutes of back and forth, the drum tired, and I waited for a wave powerful enough to pull it in. It was 28 inches long and close to 10 pounds. After a quick photo opportunity, I released the drum back into the ocean, feeling slightly more accomplished with my day’s work than I did hours before. When it comes to general fishing, there are some short drum in the marshes and speckled trout in the Neuse River. Areas like Turnagain Bay and Adams Creek were

full of fish last weekend. New River had some drum and flounder. The speckled trout catch bodes well for strong fall and winter seasons. Flounder catches are best on the offshore reefs but a few showed up along the Intracoastal Waterway bridges. The Morehead City Port Wall was another strong spot for flounder and sheepshead. There were also flounder being landed at the Fort Macon rock jetties last weekend along with sea mullet and pompano. I’m happy to report the king mackerel catch is starting to liven up. The reappearance of the king mackerel is most likely due to school of menhaden swimming along the beach. King mackerel were caught near the Beaufort Shipping Channel and Sea Buoy, as well as the Northwest Places. I also heard of some king mackerel on the east side of the Lookout Shoals. Speaking of big fish, there are a lot of tarpon along the Crystal Coast. A number of sightings and hook-up locations are the fishing piers, and in the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound area, according to reports from last week. These strong bites bode well for the upcoming Oriental Rotary

Tournament this autumn. While the king mackerel bite is strong, the Spanish mackerel bite is up and down. The fish are still swimming in deep waters. Most of them are in 30 to 40 feet of water, hooked on live peanut pogys or mullet. Finally, I have a pier update. Oceanana Pier reported small spots and sea mullet last weekend. Bogue Pier reported a wide variety of summer fish but no consistent catches of one particular species. Seaview Pier reported no king mackerel, a few speckled trout, small sea mullet and spots, as well as drum and flounder. The Surf City Pier reported a 30inch drum, a few large Spanish mackerel, sheepshead and some flounder. Bad weather and heavy winds continue to keep anglers from getting into the open waters and doing any offshore fishing. Remember safety is more important than fun. Stay close to the shoreline for now and wait for the weather to pass. 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.

Olympic Watchdog 2012 Marine Corps Sergeant boxes his way to London Even fewer athletes choose to spend their time wearing the cloth of their nation. In that sense, Herring is already a gold medalist.

I’m sure you noticed it this week. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune was buzzing about the Olympics. Tweets, Facebook posts and other social media outlets were full of Marine Corps and Jacksonville pride as many cheered on MCB Camp Lejeune’s own Olympian, Sgt. Jamel Herring, co-captain of the USA Boxing Team. When Herring stepped into the ring for Tuesday’s 32-round elimination, the public affairs office aboard base was shaking with excitement. We shameless cheered and shouted at the screen as Herring prepared for his bout with Kazakhstan boxer Daniyar Yeleussinov. From the start, Herring fought hard. He danced lightly, kept his gloves up and his head still, and trained his eyes on the prize. While it wasn’t enough when the gloves came off and the final score of 19-9 was announced, with Yeleussinov as the winner, Herring’s journey to London spoke louder than the score on the screen. Life is not always a lazy Sunday afternoon stroll in a meadow. Sometimes, of course, we experience moments of sheer elation. Other times, life feels more akin to climbing a craggy rock-face, with only pebbles to hold onto. It is the

climb, however, that shows the true colors of the belayer holding on for dear life. It takes strength to keep your nails dug in when you feel the pressure of the world starting to affect your every move. When you take a punch, and you can’t defend yourself quick enough, it’s easy to feel let down. When you know others are depending on you and waiting with crossed fingers, it’s easy to feel like you let everybody else down as well. What most people overlook in moments like these - when life has you clinging to edge, hoping to hold on for a while longer, wanting to take another step forward and battle the beast in front of you – is some fights are not about winning. Sometimes, it’s all about the steps you took to get there. A majority of Olympic athletes are pushed to be better every day of their lives. Their parents push them. Their teachers pressure them. They are led down a singlelane road, their future handed to them because of their talent and ability to handle the pressure placed on them. Only a select few set out with a different future in mind. Even fewer athletes choose to spend their time wearing the cloth of their nation. In that sense, Herring is already a gold medalist. Very few Olympians have their

athletic dreams deterred by multiple deployments. That weight falls on the shoulders of the select service members who have proven their strength and determination, Herring among them. As the sole Marine on Team USA, Herring’s Olympic odyssey was fraught with steep hills and dark valleys He served two tours in Iraq. He battled the loss of his infant daughter. He trained his way through injuries and moments of frustration. Through it all, he stepped into the ring every day with his head held high and determination unique to The Few and The Proud. Every person worth their salt can appreciate the climb. The grind to get where you’re going is never easy. Even when you’re lying on the ground, feeling defeated and panting for breath, you can recognize the importance of the journey. It’s easy to feel strong when you’re walking through a meadow. When moments of hardship come though, and you’re facing a tough loss, you have to rely on the people around to remind you, you are still victorious. Keep up with LejeuneSports online.

Service members dig in their heels at Grand Prix’s Sand-Sational 8K run 2ND LT. SARAH BURNS Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Onslow Beach has seen its’ fair share of strange beach attire, but the people who flocked to the beach July 21 ditched the flip-flops and laced up their running shoes for the Sand-Sational 8k Beach Run sponsored by Marine Corps Community Sports, part of the Grand Prix series. The gun went off at the official start time of 7 a.m., sending a record mass of participants across the hard-packed sand for roughly five miles and what turned out to be truly a ‘fun run.’ “This is the most we’ve ever had (at the SandSational Beach Run),” explained Mike Marion, race coordinator for MCCS. Approximately 450 runners of all ages registered for the event, and 372 completed the course, according to active.com. Seven-year old Mark Myers took home a few awards from the race including first place in his division and a team award by completing the course with a time of 47 minutes 22 seconds, equating to about a 9:41 mile pace. While he showed true talent

running on the beach, his real fitness passion is fueled with dirt. “I like the mud runs,” said Myers, who also competed in the Grand Prix series race, ‘Mud, Sweat and Tears five mile run’ last May. He ran as a member of The Yard Athletic Fitness Club, a team coached by his dad. The team is made up of 6 to 8-yearolds who train twice a week doing CrossFit type, high-intensity workouts mixed with team building and character discussions. His training showed results as two of his runners, Mark Myers and Tristan Carmichael, earned multiple awards in the race. “They’re awesome. I’m just so proud of them,” Myers said. The boys weren’t the only ones to win more than one award Saturday morning. Lt Col. Denise Mull, Combat Logistics Battalion 2 commander, and Col. Henry Mull, II Marine Expeditionary Force Administrative chief of staff, both earned awards in the individual and team categories, all while wearing the barefoot

running-toe shoes. The two have been running together since the Marine Corps Marathon 13 years ago. The combination of four marathons apiece plus time and hard pavement took its toll on their running finesse until the popularity and healing powers of the barefoot shoe arrived. “I love them. I’ve ran two marathons in them and a host of half marathons,” said Denise. “They’re really good for you structure. We were having back and knee pains, and it all went away.” “I started running barefoot on the beach on weekends and transitioned to these shoes, said Henry. “ And now, no problems.” Whether it be an outstanding drive or the shoes to keep them running, their accomplishments Saturday were admirable. Denise deployed

to Afghanistan the week after the race with the next running event on her schedule being the Marine Corps Marathon at Camp Leatherneck this fall. In the United States, The Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC will be pleased to have Sgt. Thomas and Cpl. Christine Kunish, the husband and wife duo of the All–Marine Marathon Team, racing in front of the crowd this fall. The couple won first overall male and female, with times of 27:37 and 33:25 respectively, and placed first in the team category. This race was the first opportunity for the couple to compete in the same category. “It’s amazing to be here with your family,” Thomas Kunish

said while holding one of his daughters in his arms. “It’s not about winning, it’s about the girls seeing us running and racing, and doing this as a couple.” Family, fun and fitness seemed to be the theme of the beachy race. Capt. Roy Fish, Law Enforcement Battalion, and his wife wore Kelly-green ‘Team Fish’ T-shirts while running the race. Their daughter cheered them on wearing a much smaller version of the green shirt. “We do everything as ‘Team Fish,” explained Fish. “But as for the competition, you kind of get together with people running the same pace as you, and it is good to motivate each other, keep yourself going,” said Fish’s wife. “That’s another good

thing about these races.” The event was extremely well organized, and there were plenty of refreshments to go around after the race thanks to the incredible volunteers and race organizers. Nature seemed to appreciate their efforts because the tide cooperated sparing many shoes from the waves of salt water crashing on the beach, and the weather remained cool for the runners and race volunteers. The next event of the Grand Prix Series is the Cherry Point Sprint Triathlon Aug. 25. For more information visit www.mccslejeune. com/grandprix/index.

All-Marine team takes center stage at national wrestling championships JESSIE HEATH Sports editor

Beach wrestling isn’t the typical format for wrestlers who spend their days in an indoor ring.

Even so, members of the All-Marine Wrestling Team proved the old addage “Never underestimate the power of the underdog” when they took part in the Beach Nationals

Wrestling Championships in Rochester, New York, recently. For wrestlers more acquainted with greco-roman wrestling than beach wrestling, the tournament

was a new and exciting experience. When Maj. J. Daniel Hicks, All-Marine Wrestling Team coach, traveled with members of the team to compete

in the tournament, his expectations were for his wrestlers to compete well and walk away from the championship having learned and bettered their skills. What he got was much more. On the first day of competition at the championships, the All-Marine team left the sandy ring with champions in their midst. Cpl. D.J. Simmons won seven matches and finished the day with a gold medal. In route to his win, Simmons defeated a two-time world bronze medal winner, a major accomplishment for anybody at the tournament. “It’s not a little thing to beat somebody who is a world-wide, international bronze-medal winner,” said Hicks. “It goes

to show how much hard work and dedication goes into the gym when guys like Simmons get in here and get serious.” In addition to Simmons’ gold-medal win, Cpl. Charles Fish took home a gold medal, winning five rounds in the 264-pound weight class. During his quest to control the ring, Fish defeated the reigning three-year champion, and participated in the bench press competition, where he pressed 425 pounds, earning himself a second gold medal in the 250-pound and under division.

Not to be left out, Staff Sgt. Donavan Depatto competed in the 163-pound division, where he finished fourth with a record of five wins and two losses for the first day of competition. “On the first day, we wrestled in the nationals,� explained Hicks. “The second day of competition, all four competed to participate in the world championships.� The Beach World Team Trials were held on the team’s second day in Rochester. Simmons and Fish both won the divisions they competed in, while Depatto was unopposed in the 150-pound division, and Myers placed third in his group. Their combined success allowed all four to qualify for the USA Beach Wrestling Team and earned them a chance to compete in the world championships in Budapest, Hungary, later this fall. “They all had to beat out some really good opponents at this tournament,� said Hicks. “Simmons beat a two-time bronze medalist, but he’d never done beach wrestling before. All our kids were relatively new to the sport, but they’re tough and know what it takes to get to the top.� Masters at their craft, members of the All-Marine Wrestling Team know what it takes to be the best. In preparation for their tournament, they pushed through pain, injury and small setbacks; they dedicated themselves to performing the same tasks repeatedly, determined to perfect every move and position.

Since returning from the Beach Wrestling National Championships, the All-Marine Wrestling team has been busy re-adjusting to their typical GrecoRoman style of wrestling. Simmons and another member of the All-Marine team will wrestle at the Greco-Roman World Team tryouts in Colorado Springs, Colo., in August. “The men on this team are some of the most dedicated athletes I’ve ever met,� explained Hicks. “We may not get five-star recruits in the All-Marine Wrestling team, but the Marines who come in here are strong, know what they want and know what they will have to do to get it. “They are competitive, poised and confident,� said Hicks. “They take a lot of the Marine ethos and apply it to their daily work in the gym.� Hicks likes to see his wrestlers succeed on and off the mat. Holding onto wrestlers who join the All-Marine team, and helping them stay healthy and active is a part of his job he takes very seriously. One injury can end a career just as quickly as bad behavior. “These men aren’t like every other professional wrestler in the world,� boasted Hicks. “They are Marines. They have to come back and work. They have challenges other wrestlers don’t face, and they overcome them without complaining. These men are asked to accomplish a lot in a very short amount of time because they have to. There is no other choice if they want to be part of this wrestling team.�

here are m a n y different paths leading to the Marine Corps. There is the post-high school path, which many enlisted Marines follow. Some join later in life, after test-driving the college road. Others still go to college and participate in the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps, in the hopes of obtaining an officer commission. Those who choose to participate in NROTC while in college take part in Career Orientation and Training for Midshipmen after they complete their freshmen year. CORTRAMID East takes place at various locations throughout the summer months. There are four weeks in CORTRAMID: Surface Warfare Week, Submarine Week, Marine Week

and Aviation Week, with Marine Week taking place aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. “CORTRAMID lets us get first-hand experience with the four main paths the Navy has to offer by spending a week in each (specialized) course,” said Midshipman Rodriguez Manuel, an Atlanta native currently attending Southern University. “The training so far has been outstanding.” NROTC students from all over the country attend either CORTRAMID West or East depending on their home state. The four week cycle of training takes place all summer long, with different groups of midshipmen picking up every week. “Midshipmen from all over the country come for their Marine Week of training for CORTRAMID to give them a glance of what Marines do,” said Capt. Steven Pederson, officer of operations

for CORTRAMID. Marine Week involves fighting with pugil sticks, running through an obstacle course, receiving instruction on different demolitions, riding in an Amphibious Assault Vehicle through water, climbing a repel tower, practicing Military Operations on Urban Terrain and shooting different weapons on some of the ranges aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. Marine instructors gave the midshipmen in-depth instruction on each section of the training. They received classes on weapon safety and how to properly clear rooms before going through MOUT town, later applying the principles they were taught. “The purpose of the training is so we can decide what service, between Navy and Marine Corps, we’d like to eventually commission into,” said Manuel.

Scholarships help 1,909 students Sea Cadets see world, train with service members PFC. JOSHUA GRANT

Since 1962 the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation has awarded more than 30,000 recipients with over $70 million. The MCSF celebrates its 50th year of donations and is currently the United States’ largest and oldest foundation of need-based scholarships for military families. With the increasingly-steep cost of colleges, universities and technical schools, the MCSF is a much needed resource for families enrolling for the first time. Fifty-four percent of the recipients are the first generation in their family to go to college. For the 2012-2013 fiscal year the MCSF is donating more than $6 million. Such an amount may seem like a lot to some, but scholarships are allocated to 1,909 recipients, all of whom are sons and daughters of

parents killed or wounded in action, or families in financial need. Margaret Davis, president and CEO of the MCSF, said it takes hundreds of volunteers and thousands of donors to make everything possible, but it’s all worth it. “Our students we invest in tell us it makes the difference between going to a college of their dreams and for some going to college at all,” said Davis. “This is a boost the students need for success in life. Without college or vocational technical training, career employment is most likely out of reach.” Sydney Mayo, a recipient of the scholarship, graduated Jacksonville High School in 2011 and currently attends High Point University, majoring in exercise science for physical therapy. Mayo said the Marine Corps did so much for her by giving her the opportunity to go to school; she wants to give back through physical therapy.

“There would be no education if you didn’t have someone to fund it for you,” said Mayo. “I hope students understand as much as their parents give, people are giving back to them.” Catalina Cotis graduated Valedictorian from Lejeune High School’s class of 2012 and is headed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study exercise sports science. Cotis said the foundation is very sociable and they are willing to help with more than just scholarships. “I love that they go above and beyond,” said Cotis. “It’s more than just money. I didn’t realize how willing to embrace us they were and how much they’re willing to provide us with other resources.” In another effort to help recipients, Hewlett Packard and MCSF gave away 16 brand new laptops to students at a ceremony aboard MCB Camp Lejeune July 26.

Several teens hold bright blue rifles up and peer over them, looking for the enemy. Behind them a mangled body lies on the ground with others hovering over it. One of the them wears a white helmet and attempts to put a tourniquet over a limb. The tourniquet breaks. One of the smallest in the group, a thirteen-year-old, quickly pulls off her belt and offers it for use. Petty Officer 2nd Class Joseph Williams, an ensign within the ranks of Naval Sea Cadet Corps and its commanding officer aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, smiled brightly as he recalled his Sea Cadets’ journey through the Tactical Combat Casualty Care Course. “It’s amazing how smart they are,” said Williams. “They can be so inventive.” The Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a national program with a local branch giving young people adventure while teaching military customs and promoting good citizenship. Being a cadet exposes them to the real world of the military. They are able to go out to sea and conduct training in a variety of subjects from marksmanship and photojournalism to culinary arts. Cadets also have the opportunity to travel the world. The organization has partnerships with similar programs in Australia, Russia, Hong Kong and many other countries. However, the program is not a recruitment tool. Its main intent is to help create productive citizens, said Williams. SEE CADETS 2C

NROTC fires plethora of weapons during CORTRAMID LANCE CPL. SCOTT W. WHITING Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Marines are trained to use a wide variety of weapons systems in order to be able to pick up any system and effectively utilize it. Midshipmen aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune got a taste of the different types of weapons available to Marines July 26 as part of their Career Orientation and Training for Midshipmen. One of the four weeks of

CORTRAMID is Marine Week, during which midshipmen are aboard MCB Camp Lejeune. The last thing the midshipmen take part in during Marine Week is shooting. The midshipmen either fired or received a class on the M16A4 rifle, M203 grenade launcher, M249 light machine gun, the M2 .50 caliber machine gun, AT4-CS light anti-armor weapon, M224 mortar system and other weaponry. For many of the students, it was their first experience firing a rifle. “After their freshmen year of

college, they are either a Navy option or a Marine Corps option,” said Gunnery Sgt. Ryan Claunch, an assistant Marine officer instructor with Duke University. “The Marine Week is to show Marine options at-a-glance, what they could be doing and to make sure it’s something they want to do. It also introduces the Navy options to the training, in case they want to possibly switch from the Navy to the Marine Corps.” The midshipmen received training on each of the weapon systems from Marines who use them in their everyday lives to ensure

they were being taught accurately about each individual weapon. “The purpose of the live firing this week is just to let (the midshipmen) know about every aspect of the Marine Corps so they can set themselves up for success in whatever field they go into in the future,” said Claunch. Midshipmen were introduced to the kick of an M16A4 rifle, the deafening boom of an AT4CS light anti-armor weapon, and the feeling of dropping a mortar into an M224 mortar system in many cases, for the first time in their lives.

They can earn ribbons for things like earning good grades and being physically fit, and get promoted by going through training. The Sea Cadets meet once a week for drill. They work out together and take classes. They may go on trips to the Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer, or go through an endurance course.

The instructors are volunteers who act as mentors to the children. They come from all aspects of the community, regardless of military background. Volunteers go through training and face a screening process. Membership requires youth to be U.S. citizens, a full time student with at least a C average and free of felony convictions.

A fire team of Marines rushes toward their adversary firing with every opportunity and covering when overwhelmed. A combat correspondent capturing the action takes a knee to snap a photograph, and he's hit twice in the chest and once in the head. “Man down,” yelled a Marine who witnessed his comrade go down. Fortunately for the Marines shot, they'd be able to fight another day because this battle was fought with paintball guns powered by compressed air. Marines from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune gathered for a paintballing showdown coordinated by the Single Marine Program, hosted at the Sportsman's Lodge in Jacksonville July 27. The Marines arrived at 10 a.m. and many of them had sweat dripping from their faces before they even kicked off the day. The heat and humidity is never pleasant but it didn't stop the devil dogs from having a good time. The occasion was far from a bad day for these Marines. They smiled, drenched in sweat, as they pegged each other and exchanged pain. “It feels like you're in a real firefight,” said Lance Cpl. Juanenrique Owings, a combat camera production specialist with Company H, Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. “You get an adrenaline rush every time you go out there, especially with speedball. Its aggressive high-intensity fun, but I don't have to worry about getting killed.” The SMP hosts many trips to offer single Marines an alternative means of

entertainment. They get to get out to do something that doesn't involve drinking and that's great, said Cpl. Matthew Combs, a motor vehicle operator with Truck Company, Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. “It's awesome to have the SMP, because single Marines don't really have wives and kids to come home to,” said Owings. “It builds a lot of unit cohesion when the Marines get together, and it lets us know we're not alone. This was my first SMP trip, and I'm definitely going to take advantage of this opportunity again.” They bring anywhere between 30 and 60 players every time they come here, said Erik Kalnicki, the store manager with the Sportsman's Lodge. The Marines battled each other on a playing field approximately 26 acres large, offering a variety of environments such as an urban combat town, speedball and wooded course. They were able to utilize fox holes, trenches, bunkers, buildings and vehicles for defensive cover. “I was a former Marine myself, so to be able to offer them a recreational outlet and a touch of training as well is great,” said Kalnicki. “The Marines are using some of the tactics they're learning and keeping up on their skills. Anytime we can help the Marine Corps or military, we're all about it.” The Marines left the field with bruised bodies and paint splotched clothes, but from the looks on their faces, the occasion was enjoyable to all of them.

Marines with Headquarters and Support Battalion line up to donate blood during the Armed Services Blood Program blood drive aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune July 27. Security Company and Companies A, B and I participated in the battalion competition to see who could donate the most units of blood.

Marines compete in blood drive LANCE CPL. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

It is a bodily fluid that delivers oxygen and nutrients for replenishment. For injured service members in life-threatening situations, blood can be as valuable as gold. Marines with Headquarters and Support Battalion hoped to increase the supply of blood available to their troops by coordinating a competition between the companies during the Armed Services Blood Program blood drive aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune July 27. “We've got a very large battalion within the Marine Corps, and it's a great source for blood donation,” said Lt Col. David Bardorf, the commanding officer of HQSPTBn. “In order to maximize those donations I put

out a competition between the companies. The most important thing is we coordinated with the (ASBP) to get the much needed blood. It's always in short supply, and it's a hot commodity. Anything we can do to increase the inventory of blood is something we're proud to do.” Security Company and Companies A, B and I participated in the battalion competition. A company must have donated a minimum of 10 pints of blood in order to be in competition. “Marines are competitive by nature,” said Bardorf. “We had a lot of blood drives throughout the year. We got a steady stream of donations, but based on a battalion of this size, I thought there would be more. So what better way to get them to donate some blood, then to make it a little competition, pitting one company against another to see who's going to come out on top?”

The company that donates the most units of blood will be authorized to have a 72-hour liberty period. The liberty time will be coordinated through the company's officers in charge and directors. Service members lined up outside of the mobile ASBP facilities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and filled unit after unit of blood. Their collective efforts equates to giving another service member an irreplaceable source of aid. “Donating blood is important because it saves lives,” said 1st Sgt. Nicole Freres, the company first sergeant with Company A, HQSPTBn. “Once you give blood, it's going to someone in need of it. It could be someone in the hospital in need of a blood transfusion. It could happen to anybody. You could be giving blood today and then tomorrow could be the one in need of

blood. It should be coming from the heart, but if you have to give them competition, the more the merrier, because Marines love competition.” Freres smiled and concluded with words revealing the size of her heart. “The donations can go to service members or civilians, as long as this blood is saving a life, it doesn't matter where it goes,” said Freres. The ASBP collects approximately 150 thousand units of blood annually from the military forces. This liquid life-force is used to save the lives of service members wounded in combat and those combating health concerns in garrison. Blood cannot be manufactured and donations are the biggest impact on some of our service members undergoing cancer treatment needs such as

platelet transfusions, said Julie Oliveri, the public affairs officer with ASBP. “Every Marine I've ever spoken to who understands that, one, we're a separate military blood program, and two, it saves their brothers and sisters in arms, that Marine will run to the nearest blood donating center,” said Oliveri. “It takes absolutely nothing to get Marines to donate. The military family really does take care of each other, and it's quite an inspiring thing to see.” The battalion commanding officer made the mission of saving lives through blood donations a competitive endeavor. The winners of the competition will be announced at the end of the HQSPTBn. physical training session Friday. For more information on ASBP visit www.militaryblood.dod. mil.

Leader receives sweet surprise at summer event AMY BINKLEY

Assistant managing editor

In the depths of the Peppermint Forest across the Gumdrop Pass along the banks of the Chocolate Swamp, a loyal group of friends converge for their scheduled counsel. Sweets, spaceships and the future of their kingdom were subjects brought to the table at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune July 24, but the focus of their discussion centered on their most trusted confidant and fearless leader. “She’s a cross between your favorite kindergarten teacher, favorite aunt and your mom,” described Lauren Estep, a member of the Teen Advisory Group. “She treats us like adults and values our opinions.” Fran Bing, youth services technician, built a legacy g y of love on a foundation of friendship hi during d i her h 28 year t tenure att the library, and as the 2012

summer reading program, “Reading is So Delicious,” winds down, her core teen group can’t help but gush about their guide. “She has a deep love and a fondness for us,” said Shannon Fowler, a TAG member. “She takes so much care in giving us a place to hang out.” Bing’s devotion has made her a legend of sorts among members of the group, who have seen the hours she’s spent planning and executing events for them. “She really, truly cares,” Estep explained. “For her, it’s not just a day job where she’s just nice because she’s told to be.” In an effort to show their appreciation, the teens took it upon themselves to surprise Bing at their latest sumreading program event – a mer re fondue fond du night – by bringing the Ca Candyland board game gam me to life.

‘Brave’ princess shoots to demolish stereotype Now playing at Camp Lejeune “BRAVE” (PG) “Brave” is a computeranimated fantasy adventure from Pixar Animation Studios (“Up,” “WALL-E”) featuring the first female heroine. Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. A new tale joins the lore when the courageous and adventurous Princess Merida, voiced by Kelly Macdonald (TV’s “Boardwalk Empire”), confronts tradition and challenges destiny to change her fate. Merida is a young but extremely skilled archer from a mythical Scottish kingdom who riles her royal parents and causes real problems when a fulfilled wish removes her from all traditions. The impetuous and feisty princess, determined to carve her own path in life, defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land that include the surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson), massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and she will have to face the evil forces she uncovers to save her homeland. She turns to an eccentric but wise woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help and is granted an ill-fated wish.

The ensuing peril forces Merida to harness all of her skills and resources, including her clever and mischievous triplet brothers, to undo a beastly curse before it is too late, discovering the meaning of true bravery. Emma Thompson and Billy Connolly lend their voices to the royal parents, Queen Elinor and King Fergus. Mark Andrews makes his feature directorial debut and along with Brenda Chapman, who collaborated on the screenplay, the two have created a noteworthy feat with the first female heroine in an animated adventure. The fairytale movie is visually stunning, showing the wild beauty of Scotland, and the voices are strong and effective, accompanied by music from composer Patrick Doyle, who uses native instruments to bring some of Scotland’s folksy flavor to the film. “Brave” is an excellent example of how an animated fantasy tale should be told and presented; even the 3D version agrees with the whole concept. Don’t miss an outstanding short film entitled “La Luna” before the feature presentation of “Brave.” Now playing in Jacksonville “THE DARK KNIGHT RISES” (R) “The Dark Knight Rises” is the conclusion to the Batman trilogy based on the highly popular comic book series “Batman.” After taking the fall for crimes he did not commit, and living like a recluse,

Dogs and cats qualify as family members to many. If a furry loved one were to ever go missing, it could cause a lot of stress and worry for a family. Collars provide information on a pet’s home, but new-age microchips have begun to replace those tags. Animal Control personnel and base veterinarians with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune scheduled animal registration events to ensure every pet residing in base housing is checked into their system. “The goal of this event is to get every pet registered,” said Sgt. Michael Newson, a policeman with the Provost Marshal’s Office. “We teamed up to support (Atlantic Marine Corps Communities) with the registration event.” If an animal were to go missing and didn’t have a collar or tag, pet owners could feel reassured knowing their pets have microchips containing a designated number used to search for the animal’s information on the specific microchip company’s database. “It’s very important to have pets registered so there’s accountability for every animal,” explained Adam Guringo, a resident of Midway Park military housing. He stressed the fact that chips are great because you never know when a pet could go missing. The microchips are about the size of a grain of rice. They are implanted between the shoulder blades under the skin of the animal. After the micro-

chips are placed, the pets are then registered with the microchip company. i w io wav aves es, ca can n Hand held devices, which use radio waves, ch h recover the alphanumeric codee specific to each microchip. haas a ((microchip), microchip p), ) “If a pet is brought in and has wner wn erss ar aaree im imme me-the animal is scanned, and thee o owners immeon. n. ““One One h One On hu und und n re r d diately contacted,” said Newson. hundred oun u d with wiith tthe heese percent of the time animals found these eir h hom omes om es.” es .” microchips are returned to their homes.” lar and tag, Unlike the standard pet collar microchips are built to last as long as rac acee Ve Vettthe life of the pet.

Onslow Co. prepares for National Night Out 2012 strengthen neighborhood spirit and policecommunity partnerships, and sends the message the community is organized and ready to fight back against criminal activity. “For law enforcement to be effective, it must have the support of the people it serves.” stated Yaniero. “National Night Out cements the importance of the public-private partnership that is key to successful policing.” Building relationships between security crews and citizens is only the tip of the iceberg for the free, fun-filled evening. More than 200 vendors featuring everything from food and crafts to local businesses and military displays will line the roads of the Riverwalk with plenty of freebies and activities for the entire family. The bicycle raffle give-

away returns to give lucky youngsters a chance to win a free bike. Children must be less than 15 years old, accompanied by a parent or guardian, and present to win. Each child is allowed three tickets in the raffle. Setting the musical mood for the evening are local bands Freeway, Dixie Driver and Blues Transition who will keep the atmosphere upbeat with familiar tunes all night. A taste of Hollywood will also grace NNO as actor and producer Jeremy Davis serves as the master of ceremonies. Davis gained notoriety with his portrayal of Petty Officer Michael Davis in the 2009 film “Seal Team VI.” To make sure everyone who wants to attend the event can come, the City of Jacksonville will provide a shuttle service

When criminals wreak havoc in the streets and the world teeters on the brink of chaos, voices call for help, and at their cries, rescuers come to their aid. Their faces are not masked nor their names disguised, but their uniforms identify them as heroes.

Shrimp Festival celebrates 42 years of family fun in Sneads Ferry

F

or the past 41 years, Sneads Ferry has been putting on an exhibition so large it has drawn crowds of over 10,000 people. Such a big fuss over a creature that only averages two to four inches in size! The Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival has been celebrating the tasty little prawn since the beginning of the event in 1971 when a group of business men got together and decided to pay homage to the delicious shrimp and the fishing community that harvests them. The first year of the festival was held on Fulcher’s Landing, but the event grew in popularity and within the first five years, needed a much larger venue. In 1976 the Community Council bought a 10 acre tract that would be the new permanent home of the festival as well as a community park. The location at 126 Park Lane in Sneads Ferry now boasts a community building, covered band stand, and covered shelters to accommodate all events. Over the years, the com-

munity has slowly built up the property and is proud of what the festival has become. Just last year, The SFSF was named The Official Shrimp Festival of North Carolina. The 2012 Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival will be hosting an assortment of events including a ball this Saturday, August 4. A 5K shrimp scamper held on October 20. Shrimp

heading contest and car show will be held August 11 and 12. There will be a parade, live music, fireworks, a beer & wine garden, military exhibits, arts & crafts, lots of food, and of course, lots of shrimp. Bring the whole family out for a weekend of fun and fantastic food August 11th and 12th to enjoy the 42nd year of the Sneads

Ferry Shrimp Festival. Celebrate a town that takes pride in it past, present and prawns!

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. CANDY FROM 1D Colored blocks recreated the fictional path to treat-titled areas of the conference room where several teens came to make candy, play video games and enjoy hanging out with their peers. “Making the candy chocolate allows them to be creative,” noted Jeanne Holmgren, manager of the research library, who assisted with the activities. “They can make it as crazy or as simple as they want, and at the end, they have something to eat. What more could a teenager want? They’re having a great time. Even the guys are joining in.” Bing sat on the sidelines, beaming with pride, as she watched seasoned teens welcome new faces to the group. “When you have such a great group of kids, how could I not love it?” she commented about her job. “They keep me young and in touch. I may not know everything about video games or other things they do, but I know more than most people my age.” Her lack of familiarity with the ever-changing interests of teenagers doesn’t deter Bing from her missions to help teens build a relationship with the library and to let them know they have someone who is there for them. “(Most) teens just want someone to talk to and to listen to them,” she acknowledged. “I’ve seen so many of them grow up. Some of the privates who would volunteer with us years ago are now gunnery sergeants and married with kids. They haven’t forgotten us.” Bing’s attempts to stay connected with the young crowd haven’t gone unnoticed, and the current crop of teens is thankful for her hard work. “For most teens, this time is pretty rough,” said TAG member Irelyn Fowler. “It’s nice to just have someone there. ” Bing doesn’t take credit for the success of the program. “I let the kids know they are allowed to be who they are,” she stated. “I turn them loose and let them make the plans.” Estep, who has been a library program regular since elementary school, pointed out Bing’s willingness to consider every idea, her active engagement in

A teen summer reading program participant paints chocolate into candy molds at the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune July 24. The teens decorated the conference room of the library in a Candyland theme as a surprise for their leader, Fran Bing, the youth services technician. their conversations, and her constant encouragement of their reading and other interests makes her a valuable asset to the library. “Ms. Fran beyond encourages us to make (the program) ours,” Estep said. “She listens to our ideas and let’s us go through with a lot of them. She’s also a big geek and regrets nothing about it.” The Fowler sisters agree, adding how their leader’s spontaneity produces crazy, fun ideas, and her friendliness makes everyone feel welcome.

“We’re not a typical library group, or maybe we are,” Irelyn Fowler mused. “What people see on the outside is much different than what happens inside. She’s taught us to be open and accepting of everyone. It’s about making bonds with people who know what you’re going through.” As the tastiest summer reading program on record approaches its final stage, Bing remains steadfast, looking forward to new faces and events. “We try to stretch out the summer reading program as

long as we can so we can include those kids who are moving here right before the school year starts,” she said. While the future of the teen library program looks bright, Bing seems happiest when handing the reigns over to her protégés and seeing them grow in their own leadership qualities. “They are fantastic,” she boasted.

It’s It’ ’ Our O Turn To Serve You!

When we are wronged, most of us have a strong desire for revenge. God gave us legitimate avenues for justice through our laws and the court system, but the Bible warns us personal revenge is something different than just legal fairness. Personal revenge is a normal reaction when we are wronged and unable to do anything about it. We want the offender to hurt like we were hurt. We have thoughts about getting even, or we want to take action to settle the score. They hurt us, now we owe them. They were wrong in the first place; a little vengence is in order so they won’t do this again. The “eye-for-an-eye” policy of the Bible is a wonderful approach for a legal system, however as a personal practice it always leaves us wanting more justice. On a personal level the Bible asks us to meet an even higher standard than the “eye-for-an-eye” policy. We are expected to repay evil with kindness. It’s not enough to just let the offense go and try to remain neutral, we are called to get involved in the offender’s general welfare and support their basic needs of life. With obvious caution given to our personal safety, we are to pursue the opposite feelings we had when offended, even to the point of praying for the person’s well-being. God knows justice is important to us. He knows it hurts when we are wronged. The caution is not to let your thirst for justice turn into a quest for revenge. Don’t try to get even when you are harmed, publicly humiliated, wrongfully accused or taken advantage of. Being overcome by revenge is a trap that will eat at us until it destroys our well-being. God asks us to admit these feelings of revenge to him. Many of the Psalms are the prayers of David admitting he wanted revenge for those people who were hurting him. God wants us to bring our strongest feelings to him, so he will settle the score his way. What a great plan – we tell God what kind of payback should happen for the hurt someone caused us, like when David asked God to have his enemies teeth smashed in Ps. 58:6, and then we go about the business of repaying evil with kindness. Only God’s policy keeps relationships between people, tribes and countries from succumbing to a never-ending cycle of revenge. Only God can keep us from retaliation and help us to actually pray for our offenders. Romans 12:17-21 says, “Do not repay anyone evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord. On the contrary: If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
