Honoring tHe fallen

Maj. gen. Mark A. Clark, commanding general of u.S. Marine Corps Forces Special operations Command, embraces the family of one of MARSoC’s fallen Marines, during ‘Honor the Fallen,’ a one-of-a-kind event, April 25, at the MARSoC headquarters.

MARSoC for Life, taking care of their own Ceremony recognizes families’ sacrifices, honors fallen CApt. bARRy MoRRiS MARsoc Public Affairs

u.s. marine corps forces special operations command marines and sailors are renowned for their ability to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks. the fact that marsoc takes care of their own, in life and in death, is a major contributor to their audacity and mission accomplishment. With this in mind, marsoc, in conjunction with the marsoc foundation, marine corps

community services and raising raiders carried out numerous events to recognize and garner support for all marsoc marines, sailors, civilian marines as well as their families. the first event was ‘honor the fallen’, a one-of-a-kind ceremony at the marsoc headquarters to honor all marines, sailors and civilian marines lost at home and abroad since marsoc’s inception. “the unconquerable spirit, spiritus invictus,

words that mean something to many, words that mean everything to a few. today is about remembering and honoring those who embraced and lived those words with the utmost passion here at marsoc,” said maj. Gen. mark a. clark, commanding general of marsoc, during the ceremony. “honor the fallen is about honoring and reflecting upon the memory and life of all of our fallen marsoc personnel. all of whom made remarkable

contributions while serving our great nation, protecting our freedom and liberties,” said Kristin smith, the family readiness officer for marsoc headquarters. “We are remembering and honoring all of our fallen with the respect they so much deserve.” the intent of the ceremony was also to fortify the relationship between marsoc and the families of all of its fallen marines, sailors and civilian marines. “the individual sacrifices our marines, sailors

and civilian marines and their families have made is extremely important for marsoc to recognize. as equally important, is recognizing the sacrifices the families have made in supporting their marine or sailor over the course of their service to the navy and marine corps, and especially their coping with the loss of a loved one,” said the director of marsoc’s Preservation of the forces and family program. during the ceremony, a final roll call of the names

of 45 marines, sailors and civilians was called out, with no reply. a set of identification tags commemorating each individual was carried out by marines and sailors as the names of the fallen were read and the bell rang. marines and sailors paused, took a knee and gently hung the fallen’s identification tags on the honor the fallen memorial, and rendered a salute before departing. the ceremony concluded with the see MARSoC 4A

Marines, Spanish Army train infantry skills together CApt. dAvid dAvid

special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force crisis Response

marines with specialPurpose marine airGround task force crisis response and soldiers from the spanish army combined together for bilateral training april 28 through may 1 at cabo noval Barracks, asturias, spain. a platoon of marines from Kilo company, 3rd Battalion, 8th marine regiment – which is the ground combat element for sP-maGtf crisis response – spent four days training with a platoon from their spanish counterparts with the light

infantry Battalion. this training was planned to sustain both units’ infantry skills while also developing the relationships necessary for future engagements. the event began when the Gce marines inserted into a helicopter landing zone via mV-22B osprey. once on the ground, they consolidated with the spanish forces and proceeded to conduct a bilateral reinforcement of a simulated embassy compound. the training was designed to mirror one type of operation which sPmaGtf crisis response may be tasked with. they conduct regular training such as this to hone their capabilities in the event rapid response support is

needed to non-combatant evacuation operations, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations, tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel, theater security cooperation or other missions as directed. “this mission gave us the opportunity to practice many of the skills that we may need if we have to respond to a crisis in africa,” said 2nd lt. david Gaffney, Kilo co. platoon commander. “from inserting by osprey, to quickly reinforcing an embassy while working with host nation partners, this gave us a lot of practice.” training included patrolling, room-clearing, foreign weapons familiarization and martial arts

instruction. also, since sP-maGtf crisis response operates out of moron air Base, spain, this training provided the marines with a chance to integrate themselves with their spanish hosts. “it gave them a new outlook on how other nations do things – style of patrolling, fire movement, everything – to see where their proficiencies are and where our proficiencies are,” said Gaffney. the partnered training culminated in a live-fire platoon assault. the marines provided blocking forces for the spanish platoon which then assaulted the designated objective. Building familiarity between international partners was

“the spanish have been the greatest hosts i’ve ever seen. the spanish soldiers were professional and a lot of fun to work with and we look forward to working with them in the future.”

SGLI premium to increase

ervice Member’s Group Life Insurance Premium will increase as of July 1. The Service Members’ Group Life Insurance program will adjust its monthly premium rate from 6.5 cents per $1,000 back to the 2006 rate of 7 cents per $1,000 of insurance, a modest increase to ensure the SGLI program remains in a strong financial position. The Department of Veterans Affairs has increased the premiums you pay for your SGLI coverage. According to a VA spokesman, “The Department of Veterans Affairs continues to place the interests of service members first and foremost by keeping SGLI premiums as low as possible, while also maintaining the necessary reserve levels to ensure funds are available to pay claims to service members’ beneficiaries”. Since the start of the SGLI Program in 1965, monthly premiums

have decreased from 20 cents per $1,000 to the current 6.5 cents per $1,000. There have been periodic increases and decreases, but over the past 30 years, premiums have fluctuated only 2.5 cents per $1,000 of insurance. In July 2008, the VA lowered the monthly premium rate for basic SGLI from 7 cents per $1,000 of insurance to 6.5 cents per $1,000 of insurance to reduce excess reserve funds in the program. Insurance companies hold reserve funds to ensure they can pay future claims. It is common practice in the group insurance industry to adjust premium rates as reserve funds increase and decrease, which typically happens when there are changes in the economy and/or changes in the number of death claims. In order for the program to remain in a good financial condition, it is necessary to increase the premium rate by half a cent per $1,000

of insurance. Since 2008, as a result of the half-cent reduction and decreases in interest rates, reserve funds have decreased. VA also uses actuaries, individuals who deal with financial impact of risk, to conduct program experience studies when evaluating and adjusting reserve assumptions; and each year, an independent auditor verifies the accuracy of their reserve calculations. For a service member with the maximum $400,000 of life insurance, this change will mean an increase of $2 a month. The new premium rate will take effect July 1. Individual Ready Reserve members who are drilling for points toward retirement, or who do not receive pay for other reasons, will be billed by their branch of service for the higher premium beginning in July.

Marines get smart on the SASR Lance cpL. Krista James 2nd marine Division

Marines with Alpha, Bravo and Delta Companies, 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, trained on the M107 .50 Caliber Special Application Scoped Rifle, at a range aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, April 21 through 23. Weighing close to 30 pounds and nearly 60 inches in total length, the SASR is designed to give commanders the tactical option of taking out a strategic target from a set distance while minimizing collateral damage. The purpose of training these Marines on the weapon system was to qualify designated Marines to safely, efficiently and effectively employ the SASR in accordance to the commander’s intent. Before personnel were able to fire the weapon system, they were given a number of classes over ballistics, effects of weather on the SASR, range cards and shooting positions; all which correlate to give the shooter the perfect shot. Chief Warrant Officer 2 Sam Mortimer, the battalion gunner, said receiving these classes prior to shooting the weapon proved to be an essential part of the training. “You have to learn how to utilize the scope, which is the scout

sniper day scope, along with the scout sniper observation telescope. You have to know how to use it before you come out here and shoot live fire. This is just a confirmation on what they’ve learned over the last couple of days,” Mortimer said. LAR Marines received a lot of information during these classes, but generally agreed the most important class received was range and targets. Cpl. Ryan Tong, a squad leader with Bravo Company, said it’s a very important class, especially for the Marines who don’t know a lot about trying to get their distances. Tong claims this specific class will better help the Marines measure out how many meters away they are shooting and help with their aim as well. After receiving two days of classes, it was time to show what the Marines learned by practical application in firing the weapon. However, they needed to concentrate, even outside of the classroom, on working well with their partners. “The hardest part of firing the weapon is communication between the gunner and the spotter, because you really have to be in sync with each other and know what the other person is talking about,” said Tong. Mortimer and Tong both agreed being able to appropriately employ see sasr 6a

TOURS from 1a playing of taps. The day’s events evoked a deep sense of healing and the families seemed appreciative of the ceremony. That evening, all the families of the fallen attended a special banquet in their honor, hosted by the MARSOC Foundation. During the banquet, Maj. Gen. Clark and Sarah Christian, director of operations for the MARSOC Foundation, unveiled the MARSOC Foundation mobile memorial wall. The significance of the mobile memorial wall is to honor the Marines, sailors and civilian Marines who lost their lives while serving with MARSOC, as well as to honor their families, sharing their stories with as wide of an audience as possible. “The hope is that people will see the wall, reflect upon the service and sacrifice of these men and women and their families, and hopefully try to learn more about each of them,” said Christian. “The MARSOC Foundation also hopes that it will remind the American public that even though military missions are not being talked about on the news, there are still brave men and women stationed throughout the world protecting our country and our freedom.” Another non-profit organization, Raising Raiders, established to support service members and their families, set out to travel to all 50 states in 30 days, to meet with various organiza-

tions, military commanders, caregivers and service providers to generate a greater understanding of and support for military caregivers. The following day, MARSOC in collaboration with MCCS hosted their annual ‘MARSOC Mud, Sweat and Tears’ mud run, at Stone Bay, aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, where over 1,400 competitors took part in the muddy and murky 5-mile run. “The intent of the mud run is to bring awareness of MARSOC to the local community and Marines in the surrounding area, exposing them to MARSOC and some of the challenges and rigorous training that all Marines could potentially be exposed to throughout the course,” said Gunnery Sgt. Peter Boby, MARSOC East recruiting and screening SNCOIC. “This year’s mud run held a special significance as the families of some of MARSOC’s fallen Marines and sailors ran in the race, to include Russell and Marcia Mote, the parents of Staff Sgt. Sky Mote, a recent Navy Cross recipient and fallen MARSOC Marine,” added Boby. “These events are always great. Not only does it bring out the people who work with the military but also the Jacksonville and Wilmington communities. It was also an honor and privi-

lege to run this year’s mud run with Russell and Marcia Mote,” added Clark. Events like ‘Honor the Fallen’ and the ‘MARSOC Mud, Sweat and Tears’ mud run are important to MARSOC in fortifying lasting relationships between the families of all MARSOC personnel, to include the local community and Marines and sailors within the surrounding area. In addition to the ‘Honor the Fallen’ and the ‘MARSOC Mud, Sweat and Tears’ mud run, members of MARSOC traveled to San Antonio, April 29, to recognize and promote Gunnery Sgt. Eden Pearl. Pearl was severely injured in Afghanistan due to an improvised explosive device. During the ceremony, he was promoted to the rank of master sergeant and awarded the Purple Heart Medal at his home. “This was a great opportunity to honor such a great warrior as Master Sgt. Pearl and his family for the great sacrifices he and his family have endured in service to the Marine Corps and this nation,” said Sgt. Maj. Bryan Link, Marine Special Operations Regiment sergeant major. Clark personally pinned both the master sergeant chevrons and Purple Heart Medal to Pearl’s collared-shirt, while Pearl’s family, friends and fellow comrades watched. Lastly, MARSOC personnel participated in an ultra-marathon which began on May 3 aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, as MARSOC Marines and sailors participated in a 50-k run. “This ultra-marathon was a low-key way for MARSOC to come together and build camaraderie while supporting one another,”

Timothy Scott, operations officer for 3rd Marine Special Operations Battalion, and event organizer. The week was a shining example of how MARSOC continues to focus on their Marines, sailors and civilian Marines, and their families. “As our journey together continues, this past week is about our promise to 45 spe-

cial people in our lives, that they made a difference, they mattered, that they will be remembered and will always hold a coveted place in our hearts,” said Clark. “The most important aspect of MARSOC is our people, as we remain committed to focusing on the health and wellbeing of our Marines, sailors and civilians, and most importantly their families.” Photo by Sgt.

Marines, sailors commemorate Bataan Death March Sgt. auStin Hazard

22nd marine expeditionary unit

hud thud thud thud thud. The soft, quick bangs echoed throughout the medical workspaces. Thirty here, 50 there. But the ship’s corpsmen pay it no mind and go about their business. Above, a thunderous cycle of action endlessly repeats. Muscles tighten, expand, exert; tendons and ligaments stretch, contract, flex; explosions of movement that propel the runners up the 45-degree ramp in bursts and spurts. Over and over, they sprint its

100-yard length. Once, five times, 10 times, 21. Some run it for the challenge, the test of will and fitness, others run it solely for the exercise, still others run it for the camaraderie, but all run to commemorate and to remember. April 9, marked the 72nd anniversary of the start of the Bataan Death March, the forced transfer of 60,000-80,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war by the Imperial Japanese Army, following the Battle of Bataan. It is for that battle the USS Bataan (LHD 5) was named, the second U.S. Navy ship to bear the name, and for that fatal march that Marines and Navy

sailors of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit and the Bataan ran this challenge. “We wanted to do something that was representative of those that we were honoring,” explained Navy Lt. Karsten Hain, 22nd MEU dental officer. “We noticed that many Marines and sailors liked to run the ramps, and ramp running lends itself well to a team relay. It’s very arduous, but scalable for people of all ability levels.” In memoriam of the men, battle worn and emaciated, who were forced to march the 63 miles from Mariveles to Camp O’Donnell in Capas, Marines and sailors ran the ramps 63 times in three-man teams, splitting the total between them.

“Me, personally, I took it as a challenge to complete it as fast as possible,” said Sgt. Jerel Thompson, Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 22nd MEU, platoon sergeant. “I did get fatigued, I did feel the hurt, so it was a good challenge.” Teams had 24 hours to complete the event, though it was not a race and there were no winners. “My thought process was to put myself in their shoes as much as possible without actually doing a 63-mile death march,” said Thompson. “When I participated, I was overwhelmed by the spirit of those I saw participating,” commented Hain, who orga-

nized the event. “Marines and sailors alike, running side-byside, working hard together and focusing on a shared challenge. To me, that’s very emblematic of what it means to serve in our blue/green team, Navy and Marines.” According to Hain, several hundred Marines and sailors participated in the event, though exact participation is difficult to judge since there was no sign-up and many teams did not report their completion times. “You’re aboard the ship that shares the name, pushing your limits in memory of those men who were pushed to theirs,” said Thompson. “It’s a great way to commemorate their sacrifice.”

10th Marine Regiment celebrates 100 years battle color rededication honors, memorializes founding of regiment’s heritage CPL. MeL JohnSon 2nd marine Division

arines and sailors with 10th Marine Regiment celebrated the regiment’s 100th anniversary with a battle color rededication ceremony April 25, at the Goettge Field House aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. More than 400 Marines, sailors and guests watched Col. Clifford J. Weinstein, the commanding officer of 10th Marine Regiment, as he attached battle streamers to the regiment’s colors.

The ceremony was held to honor the founding of the regiment, preserve the history of 10th Marines and to memorialize the regiment’s past through its present Marines and sailors. “The regiment’s heritage is a result of the courage, sacrifice and humility set forth by those who came before us,” said Weinstein. “The men who paid the ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten, and we will honor those of the past and present while looking forward to continued success of the regiment and its Marines.” The 10th Marine Regiment was formed April 25, 1914 at Vera

the SASR within the battalion will make the unit more efficient. “It gives the company commanders another tool they can use out there on the battlefield. We have scouts in the back of every vehicle, so if they’re outside of them doing reconnaissance, it allows the scouts to hit what they see if they need to and then move forward,” said Mortimer. Tong said it’s almost like a second chance weapon that allows the scouts to engage the enemy and lightly armored enemy vehicles, and it essentially gives the scouts their own protection when they’re away from their vehicles. Upon completion of the training, the Marines can agree that along with empowering LAR with a great weapon system, the SASR is not only an essential weapon system to the unit, but to the Marine Corps as well.

“The regiment’s heritage is a result of the courage, sacrifice and humility set forth by those who came before us.” - Col. Clifford j. Weinstein Cruz, Mexico, as an artillery battalion assigned to the 1st Marine Brigade as the first separate artillery unit in the Marine Corps. Though they never fired a cannon in Mexico, the regiment would have a long and storied future awaiting them. “Our regiment has a rich history and as one of the oldest Marine Corps artillery units, we are proud of our many accomplishments,” said Weinstein.

The regiment has fought and served in many major engagements including Guadalcanal, Tinian, Okinawa and the Middle East. “From Mexico to the Pacific Islands and atolls, the regiment was there, and in recent years this regiment has continued to add to its lineage with places like Lebanon, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan,” added Weinstein. “No other artillery regiment in

the Marine Corps can claim such history.” Since its establishment in 1914, 10th Marine Regiment has had 85 commanding officers and 36 sergeants major, and today sits at two battalions and nine batteries. “Our history and list of accomplishments in performing our mission is lengthy,” said Weinstein. “Today marks the Regiment’s 100th anniversary and with the unpredictability and impulsiveness of the world, we persevere to be the best prepared to provide that critical close-in, timely, precision fire support in the future.

ore than 300 service members and civilians took part in ‘Live Hard, Ride Free,’ a motorcycle poker ride hosted by the 2nd Marine Division to kick off National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, May 2. The annual ride included service members from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Stations New River and Cherry Point, as well as Ft. Bragg and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, to promote safety and the importance of responsible riding. During the event, motorcyclists practiced their safe riding as they traveled in groups to various locations in the area. At each stop the riders were given a card and at the end of the ride, the person with the best poker hand was deemed the winner. This ride combines what the Motorcycle Mentorship Program presidents work so hard for into one ride to bring together everything the riders learned, said Gunnery Sgt. Stephen Phelps, assistant maintenance chief for 2nd Marine Division and organizer for the poker ride. “When you get on a bike, it’s about having fun, but more importantly, it’s about safety,” said Phelps. “If you’re a new rider

don’t just get on the bike and try stunts or drive recklessly, find a mentor. Find someone who has been riding for a while and learn from them so you can safely enjoy having two wheels rather than four.” The Marine Corps has lost four of their own already to motorcycle accidents this year, said Phelps. Marines have to keep up their efforts to promote safety and responsible riding as much as possible to stay mission ready, he added. The Motorcycle Mentorship Program was established as part of the commanding general’s policy letter 10-14, stating all units across Marine Corps Installations East with motorcycle riders will participate in meetings and mentorship rides to monitor each rider’s skill development. Policy letter 10-14 is part of Marine Corps Order 5100.19F, which strictly sets guidelines to the proper use of motorcycles and states all the required training and personal protective equipment required for use aboard base. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recorded 4,612 motorcycle fatalities in 2011 throughout the country, accounting for 14 percent of highway deaths that year. In 2013, North Carolina lost 147 motorcyclists to traffic accidents, a decrease of 7 percent from the previous year, said Don Nail, director of Governors Highway Safety Program for North Carolina.

Nurse Advice Line comes to NHCL Lance cpL. Mark WatoLa

marine Corps base Camp lejeune

TRICARE’S Nurse Advice Line, implemented aboard base May 2, is the new place for members of the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune community to turn for guidance when the first sign of illness or injury strikes. The Nurse Advice Line provides 24/7 nurse triage, advice and medical treatment facility appointing. Advice line nurses help relieve strain on the emergency room by redirecting nonemergency cases to the correct level of care, and if necessary, refer beneficiaries urgent care facility access. “The Nurse Advice Line provides interactive, telephonic advice, to aid in decreasing unnecessary emergency room and urgent care visits, as well as, allow beneficiaries to cancel and reschedule appointments,” said Navy Capt. Joe Duane, deputy director of healthcare business at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune. “Emergency and urgent care is expensive and the advice line decreases the number of unnecessary visits by providing healthcare needs through simple advice and direction,” said Peter Demonch, department head of utilization management at NHCL. Fewer emergency room visits result in shorter wait times, a more efficient use of resources and staff and less multi-health system costs, Demonch added. The Nurse Advice Line was tested at six military treatment facilities across the U.S. to evaluate beneficiaries’ reception to it, said Demonch. The advice line was well received at the initial launch locations. In addition to NHCL, 11 other bases from different services started utilizing the Nurse Advice Line last week. “We want to provide high-quality care for our patients, and the Nurse Advice Line is another tool we can use to provide care,” said Duane. The advice line is not a substitute for doctor visits or emergency situations. For healthcare services, contact the Nurse Advice Line at 1-800-874-2273 and select option 1.

A Marine chooses his second card during the Live Free, Ride Hard motorcycle poker ride at the New River Harley Davison in Jacksonville, N.C., May 2. The ride consisted of more than 300 service members from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Stations New River and Cherry Point, Ft. Bragg and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. “We hate to lose any motorcyclists,” said Nail. “But the reduction reinforces our emphasis on safety and accident prevention.” Since 2008, Marine Corps Installations East has put more than 25,000 Marines through the Basic Rider’s Course and Advanced Rider’s Course, said Brig. Gen. Robert Castellvi, commanding general for Marine Corps Installations East and Camp Lejeune. “The year 2008 can be called the high water mark for motorcycle accidents,” said Castellvi. “I’m proud of what the Marine Corps has done since then. The Marines

bonded together and helped mentor each other. They corrected the behavioral issues associated with the cause of accidents and greatly reduced our number of motorcycle fatalities.” The proper use of safety equipment is paramount as well as ensuring every service member remembers the fundamentals learned at the BRC, added Castellvi. Basic riders courses are held aboard Camp Lejeune and Camp Johnson throughout the year. For more information on the BRC and base safety, visit www.mccslejeune.com/ motorcyclesafety.

FORT BLISS, texas

Fox in the hen house marines conduct training in Fort bliss, Texas cpL. austin LonG 2nd marine Division

The ramp of an amphibious assault vehicle begins to lower, letting in a burst of cool night air. Everything is black. Almost in rhythm the Marines sitting in the back of the Amphibious Assault Vehicle begin turning and moving down the ramp into the night. Their mission is to move over a mountain and into a village where enemy forces are known to be present. For the Marines of Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, this night time assault on a village at Fort Bliss, Texas, April 28, was only a training exercise. The successful attack on enemy forces who were occupying the village allowed the Marines to gain control and open access to Route Grey, a major route used by coalition forces operating in the area for the upcoming Network Integration Exercise. Soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 1st Armored Division played the role of the enemy. Prior to the assault, snipers infiltrated the area surrounding the town, provided accurate intel on the enemy position, controlled supporting fire, and provided precise fire on enemy targets during the assault. The machine gunners and mortar teams suppressed the enemy, and the assault element surprised the opposing forces by attacking from south to north pushing the enemy into the deadly fire of the waiting AAVs. For many of the Marines in Fox Co., this was their first time assaulting an objective at night as a company, said Staff Sgt. Matthew Hall, a platoon sergeant with Fox Co. “The purpose behind this assault was to evaluate the Marines ability to

Marines with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, prepare to load an amphibious assault vehicle for training in Fort Bliss, Texas, April 28. conduct a deliberate attack on an objective at night,” said Hall . “I believe my Marines performed exceptionally well. The attack on living targets, that could use critical thinking and strategy skills, made the Marines adapt to the situation, challenged the Marines, and made them make decisions to accomplish the mission regardless of outside influences. And that’s just what the Marines did; they continued the assault and did not allow anything to hinder their success.” Adding realism to the exercise, Marines and the opposing forces used the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System. The gear gave accurate feedback to the company commander on how many Marines and enemy role-players were killed or injured during the assault. When the MILES gear was ‘hit’ the person wearing it was designated injured or dead, similar to civilian laser tag. Personnel monitors issued casualty cards to the victim describing the type and severity of injury requiring

Marines and sailors with Fox Co. to respond appropriately with treatment or a medical evacuation. “I thought the training was really good, especially for the junior Marines like me,” said Lance Cpl. Patrick St. Pierre, a grenadier with Fox Co. “Some of us have never done anything like this. It was a great challenge, because we were facing a living enemy force. It was exciting, because it’s what we would do in a real-life combat situation. It was great to get to see how all the different units work together to accomplish a mission.” Once the assault on the village was complete, Fox Co. Marines loaded back on the waiting AAVs and moved to a defensive position to hold the ground they just gained. “The mission was a real test for the Marines,” said Hall. “Most of them have never done anything like this. The fact they were able to conduct a company size assault at night with limited visibility and arduous terrain, shows they can be flexible and accomplish the mission they are tasked with.”

A subgroup of returning service members also report impaired quality of life related to decreased emotional well-being, social functioning and general health, as well as increased impulsive drinking.

Leveraging bodyweight for better workouts

utilizing suspension training can rev up your routine

Focus on

Quick Health Tips

Fitness

with Desiree Nelson and Jason Pierce

uspension training has taken over much of the fitness world, offering unique challenges, explicit benefits and convenience to its patrons. According to the National Academy of Sports Medicine, benefits of suspension training include better balance, increased flexibility, increased core stability and has been proven to promote overall body strength. The workout, requiring minimal equipment, utilizes bodyweight to create the necessary resistance. Combined with a series of basic movements, suspension training has proven to be innovative, limited only by imagination and the biomechanics of the body. The workout can be done individually, but has recently become popular in group classes. Designed by a Navy SEAL as a go anywhere workout, the suspension consists of a set of two nylon straps that creates resistance from your body weight and gravity. The straps can be locked onto any elevated fixture, including a door or even a tree branch and offers five to 100 percent

of the users bodyweight for resistance. Users can choose how hard they want to work and adjust their body’s incline accordingly. The system is ideal for all fitness levels because the intensity of the suspension device is scalable. By a simple positioning of the feet or hands, it can be an exercise for a pro-athlete or an inactive senior citizen. Suspension training can be used to reach strength goals, improve sports performance, lose weight and even rehabilitate an injury. For the next three weeks, we will focus on the benefits of suspension training for specific muscle groups. Below you will find three exercises designed to tone and strengthen your arms. Begin with 3 sets of 15 reps for each exercise, resting for 30 – 40 seconds between each set. Contract and stress the muscles as much as possible and be sure to maintain steady breathing throughout the motion.The more time under tension, the more strength you are building. Incorporate this routine into your training plan at least twice a week.

Coconut water: clear liquid usually found inside young coconuts, has 46 calories per cup and delivers 3 grams of fiber as well as good doses of potassium, magnesium, manganese, and vitamin C. Yerba mate: Steeping these leaves in hot water produces a green tea-like beverage with only half the caffeine of coffee, 90 percent more powerful cancer-fighting antioxidants, Vitamin B and plenty of chromium, which helps stabilize bloodsugar levels. Unsweetened black coffee: This antioxidant rich drink reduces your appetite and increases your metabolism for almost zero calories. A study published in the journal Physiology and Behavior found the average metabolic rate of people who drink caffeinated coffee is 16 percent higher than of those who drink decaf.

Setting sail on adventure patrons enjoy water activities, food vendors, crafts at Gottschalk marina Season opener Desiree nelson Sports editor

espite a sprinkling of rain, families gathered for an afternoon of crafts, food and water sports at the Season Opener of Gottschalk Marina aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Friday. The smell of carnival food and the sound of children’s laughter could be heard throughout

the marina as young ones enjoyed fried bread dough and shaved ice while building sailboats from Styrofoam bowls and construction paper before allowing them to set sail in a nearby kiddie pool. Other participants strapped on life jackets, and wielding oars, embarked on a journey through the waters of the New River via canoe, kayak or standup paddleboard, just a few of the many activities offered at the Marina. Patrons also enjoyed complimentary

pontoon boat rides throughout the afternoon. “Our intent is to get everyone outside in the fresh air and to expose them to the different activities we have to offer here at the marina,” said Marybeth LeMaire, recreational specialist at Outdoor Adventures and Marinas. “We have a lot going on here and want to give patrons a chance to explore the different sports and also to raise awareness about the marina.” Marina staff were on hand provid-

ing direction and support to first-time water adventurers. The Coast Guard Auxiliary was also present, sharing important water safety information. According to the National Wildlife Federation, outdoor activities increase fitness levels and build active, healthy bodies. Spending time outside also raises levels of Vitamin D, which helps protect children from future bone problems, heart disease, diabetes and other health issues. Studies also show exposure to natural settings may be widely effective in reducing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms and can result in higher scores on standardized tests in math, reading, writing and listening. “We love (the marinas) and often spend our free time here,” said Heather Palmer, a participant in the event. “We came to try out the pontoon boats. It’s a great way for the kids to get outdoors and do something they really enjoy. It’s certainly increased their confidence on the water and it’s something we always look forward to. We’re looking forward to spending a lot of time here this season.” Now that the season has begun, Gottschalk Marina will begin hosting events including the Camp Lejeune Sailing Regatta beginning May 14, and continuing throughout the summer.

Striving for off-duty success 26th meu embraces teamwork, camaraderie during intramural softball Lance cpL. Joshua w. brown

26th marine expeditionary unit

t isn’t major league sports. It isn’t semiprofessional. It isn’t baseball, but as the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit Gamecocks softball coach, Tyler M. Duffey, put it “It’s the next best thing.” The Marine Corps offers a variety of intramural sports at different installations across the country. Some Marines assigned to the 26th MEU are actively involved in the Intramural Softball League aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, which helps exercise a number of Marine Corps traits and allows some members to capitalize on the benefits of playing sports during off-duty hours. “It’s fun for me and the Marines,” said Duffey. “It takes your mind away from work and is definitely a stress reliever.” Playing for the team is voluntary, but Marines and sailors are encouraged by leadership to take advantage of the off-duty opportunity, get involved in an athletic program, and compliment unit camaraderie. “Winning is the goal, but teamwork comes first,” said Duffey. “On the field, we’re on equal ground and working as a team takes priority over rank.” The team is comprised of Marines and sailors of varying ranks and occupational specialties. The positions and hierarchy of the team is not determined by rank, rather it is determined by the skills and proficiencies of the players and their experience in the sport. “You see Marines outside the office and their competitive personalities come out,” said Duffey. “It shows them in a different light when you see them striving for success in a non-work environment.” The team’s current goal is to make the league playoffs and recover from their current record of 1-6. Seth D. Lowery, a 26th MEU Gamecock, said “We’re relying on each other to get better and pull through.” Lowery is no stranger in the realms of softball and baseball. As a kid, he played Little League Baseball,

Marines on the 26th Marine expeditionary unit softball team, the Gamecocks, and 2nd Marine special operations battalion softball team, the raiders, congratulate each other after the game to demonstrate sportsmanship aboard Marine corps base camp Lejeune, May 1. Marines assigned to the 26th Meu play softball during non-working hours to exercise, work as a team, demonstrate unit pride, and to relax. while growing up, he played on his church’s softball team. “We do the best we can and have a good time,” said Lowery. “Staff Sergeant Duffey is a good coach and he stresses the importance of working together and having fun.” Lowery said Duffey takes a professional approach to coaching and reminds him of the coaches he had during his time in the Little League. “One time staff sergeant told me ‘out here I’m not your staff sergeant, I’m your coach,’” said Lowery. “We’re encouraged to help each other and we give

advice with tact and respect no matter the rank.” With their current record, the Gamecocks have to win all of their remaining games to have a chance at making the league playoffs. After last Thursday’s game, that seems impossible according to Duffy. He believes they need to work on the fundamentals and continue to improve on what they’re doing well to make it happen. “Winning is secondary,” said Duffey. “I want the team to apply the fundamentals, keep it simple, give one-hundred and ten percent, and remember it’s a team effort. The winning will come after that.”

Let the games begin

lejeune to host ultimate frisbee Tournament desiRee NelsoN Sports editor

he Marine Corps Community Services Sports Division will host a Double Elimination Ultimate Frisbee Tournament at Goettge Memorial Field House aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, May 31. Ultimate frisbee has become highly competitive, with interest rising drastically over the last decade. The Ultimate Players Association, the governing body of the sport in the U.S., reports a 168 percent increase in members since 2003, especially among the 18 to 26 demographic. According to Nichole Turner, athletic program director for Marine Corps Community Services Sports Office, the objective of ultimate frisbee is to advance the disc down the field without losing it to the opposing side. Teams score when a player catches the Frisbee in the end zone. The team with the most points at the end of game time wins. In the instance of a double elimination tournament, winners will advance through to the next bracket. In addition to being entertaining, the sport has many physical and social benefits. Along with the physical demands of throwing, running and jumping, it’s also a team sport. Working together and knowing your teammates can be an integral part of the game results in a great social environment both within the teams themselves and throughout the entire environment of the tournament, according to Turner. On game day, participants can expect a fun and fast paced environment. Turner hopes the tournament will draw a number of teams and will result in a good showing of competition and excitement for the day. Because the tournament is double elimination, each team can expect to play at least two games. “We received a lot of feedback that there were teams on mainside Camp Lejeune that wanted to play,” said Turner. “All the previous tournaments at the outlying

commands have been very successful, and we are hopeful that we will see the same success and positive response in registrations here on mainside.” The Sports Office aims to provide activities that are in high demand. Ultimate frisbee has proven to be of great interest to the population aboard the base, with previously successful tournaments hosted at outlying commands

including Camp Johnson, Courthouse Bay and Stone Bay. “We hope that units and friends will use the opportunity not only to compete and vie for the championship title, but also to build camaraderie, get out and get moving for physical exercise.” The tournament is open to all authorized patrons 18 years and older and out of high school. Teams can be any combination of male or female, active-duty or civilian, according to Turner. For more information or to register for the event, visit www.mccslejeune.com/sports or call 451-2710.

Rush from 1b decrease the instance of deployment related issues, serving as an outlet to relieve stress and promote physical activity, which has been linked to overall physical, mental and emotional well being. “Deployments can be stressful,” said Staff Sgt. Dale Zaboroskie, 2nd platoon commander with Golf Co, 2nd Bn, 6th Marines. “(Operation Adrenaline Rush allows) the Marines to take time off and have fun with their friends and relieve some of that stress.” To encourage participation, Outdoor Adventures makes every effort to work around a unit’s schedule and allows them to choose the event they wish to participate in. Additionally, the trips and program are at no cost to the unit or individuals, making it convenient for Marines to participate. “A lot of Marines, including myself, come back from deployments and just want to sit in

their rooms and hang out,” said Cpl. Stephen Kazy, an administrative specialist with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. “But the trips give us a chance to relax and actually have fun doing activities and still save money, instead of sitting around in our rooms.” Through programs like Operation Adrenaline Rush, Marines are able to engage in high-intensity situations, quelling their adventurous sides, while being responsible and staying safe. “When these guys come back home we try to spike their adrenaline in a healthy manner versus other unhealthy ways,” said Caraway. “It’s also a way to bring the unit together so the Marines know they have people they can talk to and address issues.” Units returning form deployments are encouraged to schedule an event with Operation Adrenaline Rush and to involve their Marines and unit in the program.

“When my unit attended, everyone had a great time,” said Kazy. “All of the new guys who are returning from deployments are excited for the next trip, because now they have heard how much fun everyone had on the last one.” According to Caraway, units returning from deployments within 120 days are eligible for the program after completing the required Operational Stress Control and Readiness Training, which is designed to depict how our brains process traumatic experiences such as deployments. “We are here to help the Marines,” said Marybeth LeMaire, recreations specialist at Outdoor Adventures and Marinas. “The programs are easy, cheap and lots of fun for every Marine.” For more information about Operation Adrenaline Rush, contact the Outdoor Adventures office at 451-1440 or visit www.mccslejeune.com/outdoor.

The “40 east band,” a musical act based in wilmington, n.c., performs during jacksonville’s jamboree, Saturday, at the jacksonville commons complex.

Kicks off festival season, brings families together cpl. jackeline m. perez rivera Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

ocal families enjoyed a warm spring day with music, sports, food and festivities at the third annual Jacksonville’s Jamboree, held Friday through Sunday at the Jacksonville Commons Complex. Family-friendly entertainment buzzed through the event to include musical acts, a car display, a petting zoo and statewide sports competi-

tions for softball, basketball, baseball, tennis and other sports. Jacksonville’s Recreation and Park’s department displayed what its parks offer to the community through the Jamboree, said Susan Baptist, recreation superintendent with the department. “It’s about showcasing what a great community Jacksonville has,” said Baptist. “We’re very proud of our fields, facilities and programs.” The Jacksonville Jamboree was initially meant to act as a sporting event,

however, throughout the planning process, the staff at the Recreation and Parks Department saw it as an opportunity to highlight everything the park had to offer, said Baptist. “We wanted to show a little bit of everything and provide a well-rounded family friendly event,” said Baptist. The event has grown each year to include more entertainment and activities. Entertainment was provided on the main stage with the 2nd Marine Division Band, Jacksonville’s Got Talent and musical acts such as the “40

East Band”, “Brick House” and “Freeway”. A children’s area included a petting zoo with pony rides and a train ride. Nataly Marquez, a military spouse, said the event was an opportunity to spend quality time with her family. “With the vendors, the petting zoo and entertainment (at Jacksonville’s Jamboree) we had a great time,” said Marquez. “It was quality time. Sometimes we struggle finding things to do with the family on the weekends. I think this event is a great way to come together

and build memories.” Sean Fantana, a retired Marine, attended the event to spend time with his family and learn what the city had to offer. “The atmosphere (at Jacksonville’s Jamboree) is very family friendly,” said Fantana. “There’s a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It was great to come and enjoy a day out with my family.” The event showcased Jacksonville’s recreational facilities, he added. “This isn’t just a Marine town,” said Fantana. “It’s a family town.”

‘Rio 2’ an animated musical sequel; ‘The Other Woman’ a romantic comedy Now playing at Camp Lejeune and Midway Park

Joining them are Andy Garcia as Eduardo, Jewel’s father; Kristin Chenoweth as Gabi, a lovesick poison dart frog; Rita Moreno as Mimi, Eduardo’s older sister; Bruno Mars as Roberto, Jewel’s childhood friend; Natalie Morales as a news anchor; and Janelle Monae as a veterinarian. Also featured are new Brazilian artists and original music by Monae and Wondaland. Director and writer Carlos Sadanha (“Rio,” “Ice Age” series) makes a big splash with his musical sequel from 20th Century Fox-Blue Sky Studios; with one sad note, his co-screenwriter Don Rhyman passed away in 2012. “Rio 2,” the animated musical sequel to “Rio” is fun for the entire family and is also presented in 3-D.

“Rio 2” (G) “Rio 2” is a computeranimated musical adventure and sequel to the 2011 “Rio.” This film, however, is played out more in the Amazon rainforest. It’s a jungle out there for Blu, Jewel and their three kids, after they leave their domesticated life in the city of Rio de Janeiro for a journey to the wilds of the Amazon. As Blu tries to fit in, he goes beak to beak with the vengeful Nigel, and meets the most fearsome adversary of all, his father-inlaw. All your favorite characters are back being voiced by: Anne Hathaway as Jewel, the female macaw from Rio; Jesse Eisenberg as Blu, the male macaw from Moose Lake; Leslie Mann as Linda, who adopted Blu; Jemaine Clement as Nigel, a preening cockatoo; George Lopez as Rafael, a romantic Toco Toucan; Jamie Fox as Nico, a yellow canary who is Pedro’s close friend; will.i.am as Pedro, red-crested cardinal; Rodrigo Santoro as Tulio, a Brazilian ornithologist who is Linda’s boyfriend; Jake T. Austin as Fernando, Linda and Tulio’s adopted son; and Tracy Morgan as Luiz, a bulldog.

Now playing at Carmike 16 and Patriot Theater 12 in Jacksonville “THE OTHER WOMAN” (PG-13) “The Other Woman” is a romantic comedy about three women banding together to take down the man who cheated on them. Cameron Diaz (“The Counselor,” “Bad Teacher,” “Knight and Day”) stars as Carly Whitten, a glamorous, sharp-tounged and level-headed lawyer

But when she accidentally meets Kate King, the wife he is cheating on, played by Leslie Mann (“This is 40,” “17 Again,” “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”), she realizes they have much in common. Carly soon becomes best friends with Kate, her former sworn enemy, and they team up to get revenge on the dirty cheater. Yet when another affair

All-American summer camp opens for registration

mCCS offers opportunities for children to explore outdoors LAnce cpL. JusTin A. rodriGuez marine Corps base Camp lejeune

With the end of the school year drawing near, comes the opportunity for youth to explore the outdoors, during the All-American Summer Camp aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, June 12. The program is designed to offer children recreational, social and educational enrichment opportunities in a safe environment during the summer break. “The activities offered are designed to encourage positive social interactions,” said Rachel J. Nelson, the assistant family care program manager of special programs with the Marine and Family Programs Division. “It should be a good time for everyone involved.”

The program is offered to children of military, Department of Defense and MCCS employees who have completed kindergarten and have not yet entered the 7th grade. Breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks will be provided to the children, along with a camp T-shirt which children will wear during field trips off base. “My son had a great time in the program last year,” said Jolyne Agramonte, a MCCS employee. “He enjoyed the company of the other children in the program, and the instructors and employees were great. They were helpful and happy around the kids.” Some of the field trips will include traveling to the base pool, movie theater, bowling alley, the Neuseway Nature Park, Planetarium and Mu-

seum in Kinston, the Onslow County Museum in Richlands, Sturgeon City in Jacksonville and more. “So many children look forward to summer all year long and the break from school,” said Nelson. “Our summer camp offers children a memorable experience with opportunities to gain friendships and enjoy new activities.” The staff hopes to surpass last year’s attendance of 180 children. “We plan our summer program to make sure children have opportunities to explore and grow in a safe, active and fun environment,” said Nelson. The camp will be held at the Stone Street Youth Pavilion and Tarawa Terrace Youth Pavilion aboard base and will include activities such as art projects, stories, cooking projects,

science experiments, organized games and more.

Volunteer makes a difference horn provides assistance, support to veterans AshLey toRRes lifestyles editor

hrough hard work and dedication, everyday heroes continue to serve and provide support to the Jacksonville community. Gail Horn, a retired master gunnery sergeant with 25 years of service, is among these unsung heroines for her efforts with organizations like the Women Marines Association, Disabled American Veterans Chapter 16, Marine Corps League and the American Legion. “(Horn) is well known in the community and works tirelessly assisting veterans in need,” said Fernando Schiefelbein, operations specialist for Marine Corps Installations East. After retiring from the Marine Corps in 2009, Horn made the decision to remain in the Jacksonville area in order to allow her daughter to finish school.

“It was important to me to allow her to finish school there, and the school’s newscast was enabling her to find her (passion in) photojournalism,” said Horn. “It also gave me an opportunity to finish my bachelor’s degree at Campbell University aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.” Reminiscing on her time in the Marine Corps, Horn reflected on some of the highlights of her career. While serving in the Marine Corps, Horn experienced the Japanese culture during her tours in Iwakuni and Okinawa, Japan. Horn was also hand-selected to serve as an enlisted career counselor at Headquarters Marine Corps for the Manpower Management Enlisted Assignments. She was fortunate to travel to numerous countries providing career advice. “We traveled to

Still Serving

various parts of the globe and briefed Marines, as well as provided individual counseling,” said Horn. “You never realize how much you made a difference until years later when you meet them again and see.” Following her retirement, Horn received the push she needed from community members Stephen Smith and the late Randy Reichler to get involved within the Jacksonville community. “The way they supported individuals and freely gave of their knowledge and time was inspiring,” said Horn. “As such, I felt an obligation to pay it forward and became active in several veteran organizations.” Currently, Horn is an active member for numerous organizations and is the secretary for the Women Marines Association, the post service officer for the Veterans of Foreign Wars post 9133 and has volunteered with

the Relay for Life and the Museum of the Marine. In addition, Horn found her passion when she received the position as a Veteran Employment Representative. “I realized I had found my calling and have developed great relationships with many of the businesses and veterans in this community,” said Horn. “(I enjoy) assisting my fellow man in improving their quality of life.” Horn recommends for Marines getting ready to retire, to follow their passion and find a job they will love. “Don’t just look for a job, make a plan and look for a career,” said Horn. If you know an outstanding retired or veteran Marine, contact Ashley Torres at ashley. torres@pilotonline.com or 451-7403. “Still Serving” presents a monthly piece about those veterans who continue to make an impact in our community.

maintaining hope letting faith into our lives Lt. cmDR. NeiL KReisLeR School of Infantry-east

Hope, it can change your whole perspective. There were 1,196 service members aboard the USS Indianapolis when a Japanese U-boat struck her in 1945. She sank in only 12 minutes, taking 300 service members with her to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The other 900 sailors suffered exposure to the elements, dehydration, delt with a lack of lifeboats and were victims of shark attacks, but their worst enemy was hopelessness. They were on a secret non-combat mission to deliver the first atomic bomb. Therefore, Navy communications were limited and the crew doubted if anyone knew they were missing. Afloat in the vast deep blue, many sailors lost all hope after the second day, but even more after the third and fourth. Only 300 survivors were pulled from the Pacific after their accidental sighting by a PV-1 Ventura Bomber. The common theme among the survivors was “We never gave up hope.” Mirriam Webster defines hope as: “to desire with the expectation of obtainment, to expect with confidence”. That is what separates hope from “wishing” for something. There is a difference between putting something on your wish list and putting it in your shopping cart. Your wish list is desire without any confidence; your shopping cart has all the confidence that your package will arrive. From ancient times, spring is the season of hope. Long cold days melt into shorter warmer ones. Dead brown grays are broken by bright green. Many cultures have celebrated spring in different ways, and many faith traditions have located religious remembrances at this time. This time of year practitioners observe: Nineteen Day Feast, Maha Shivaratri, Ostara Equinox, Passover, Hola Mohalla, Holy Week and Easter. And that is the short list. There are lots of reasons for hope. A question to consider this month is: what is our hope? We all need a healthy dose of hope; it keeps us maintaining the right perspective, especially when times get tough. My challenge is to consider putting hope in something truly meaningful. The trouble with putting our hope in possessions, advancement or even in other people is that no one knows what tomorrow holds. We all need deep, strong, hope that can keep us going, even if stranded at sea for five days.

Fantasy world sets sail at Harriotte B. Smith library military spouse paints mural to captivate children’s imagination cPL. JacKeLine M. PeRez RiveRa

marine Corps base Camp lejeune

hen Gwyn Korpi visited the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune with her children, she couldn’t help but notice an empty wall in the children’s section. “I saw the big empty wall, and it begged for a mural,” said Korpi, a military spouse. The mother of three

saw an opportunity to use her skills as an artist to captivate children’s imagination through her mural. Korpi spent her nights and weekends for over a month painting the wall, hoping to complete it before the library closed for renovations. It was important to her to bring art to Camp Lejeune’s youth. “Art livens up the space, so kids can really use their imagination,” said Korpi. She designed the mural specifically to pique children’s interests. The mural’s fairy tale world is populated by a pirate, a

squire, a princess, a dragon and mermaids, each of them enjoying a book. “I wanted each kid to have something to relate to and be interested in,” said Korpi. The mural features characters reminiscent of popular children’s tales. The pirate could have walked from the pages of “Treasure Island.” With the mermaids, the mural could evoke thoughts of Neverland, the home of Peter Pan, on a quiet day between adventures. “The themes are universal to kid’s stories,” said Korpi. The mural appeals to

both boys and girls and to children of all age groups, said Judy Bradford, the library manager. “The children are really in love with it,” said Bradford. “The kids show it off to their parents, brothers and sisters. Everyone is really impressed with it.” The mural was something the library staff looked into for years, however, finding the talent and funding to create it proved to be a challenge. When Korpi asked about it, Bradford thought it was a blessing. “We’re so grateful that she offered to do it,” said Bradford.

The project was not only a gift to the library and its patrons, it also motivated Korpi to create more art. Before coming to Camp Lejeune, where her husband is stationed, Korpi worked as a graphic designer and now freelances, creating murals, portraits and illustrations. Whether it’s by teaching one of her three young children a few techniques, or sketching them as they play, Korpi infuses art into her dayto-day experiences. “It’s what I do for fun,” said Korpi. ”It’s my passion.”

According to the artist, painting the mural did not feel like work to her, it was an inspiring experience that infused more art into her daily life and allowed her to share it with the Camp Lejeune community. “She has a special talent, and she shared it with us to bring joy,” said Bradford. “We’re very grateful for all of her hard work. We know the kids will appreciate it for years to come.” For more information about the Harriotte B. Smith Library, call 4513026 or visit www.mccslejeune.com/libraries.

Brig. Gen. John Love, deputy commanding general of II Marine Expeditionary Force, speaks at the National Prayer Day breakfast at the Paradise Point Officers’ Club aboard Marine corps Base camp Lejeune, May 1. “I believe in the acceptance of all religions and I believe in the power of group prayer,” said Love. “We gathered today to pray together and to pray for this country, our families and our corps.”

Re-registration for Camp Lejeune Dependent Schools May 19 through 23 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. All students who are currently enrolled and who will be returning for the 2014 - 2015 school year must be registered. New student registration begins May 27. For more information, call 451-2461.

ilitary spouses learned about resources available when transitioning from military to civilian life through Marine Corps Community Services’ Spouse Transition Experience and Preparation Seminar at the Tarawa Terrace Community Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, May 1. The seminar provides a panel of experts from different organizations, who educate attendees about a wide range of subjects from education and career assistance to financial management and healthcare. “We want to let spouses know that there are free resources available on and off base, which help ease the process of transitioning out of the military,” said Lindsay Gress, a transition readiness adviser with Marine Corps Community Services aboard base. The seminar was inspired by Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point’s Spouse Transition and Readiness Seminar, said Gress. The event was first opened aboard Camp Lejeune in 2013 after MCCS Lejeune adopted the idea. “The Transition Readiness

Seminar is a classroom environment and provides general information,” said Sherry Anthony, a transition readiness adviser with MCCS. “Spouses want to know how resources directly affect them.” Spouses have the opportunity to have their specific questions answered during STEPS, Anthony added. The program is similar to the Transition Readiness Seminar, a five-day class for Marines and families to prepare them to transitionfrom military life to civilian life. While Marines can learn through TRS, their spouses can learn the same information through STEPS. “Spouses feel more comfortable in an environment with other spouses,” said Bambi Pelham, a transition readiness adviser with MCCS. Both the service members and spouses walk away equally informed from each seminar, added Pelham. “It doesn’t matter if your service member is getting out in four years or four months, now is the time to start preparing and learning what resources are out there,” said Gress. The next STEPS will be held at the base education center, Wednesday from 9 to 11 a.m. For more information visit www.mccs.lejeune.com/trs and to register for STEPS call 451-3754.
