Hurricane season begins June 1, which will bring the possibility of destructive and deadly storms to the East and Gulf coasts.

Knowing the threat, the National Oce-anic and Atmospheric Administration has conducted the Hurricane Awareness Tour for almost 30 years, alternating be-tween the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. This year, one of the fi ve tour stops on the East Coast was Marine Corps Air Sta-tion Cherry Point May 4.

In 2010, no hurricanes made landfall in the United States. However, Hurri-cane Earl grazed the Carolina coast with a near miss, reminding people that they have to be prepared for hurricanes any time.

The event was held on the fl ight line,

where fi rst responders displayed the gear they use to help people if a hurricane hits. Marine Transport Squadron 1 made an appearance, as well as Coast Guard units from both Elizabeth City and Fort Macon, N.C.

“We do a thing called the Hurricane Awareness Tour every year where we visit fi ve coastal cities one year on the East Coast, and next year on the Gulf Coast,” said Bill Read, the director of NOAA’s National Hurricane Center. “The whole point of it is, by using the hurricane hunter aircraft as an attraction, we can bring together local offi cials, emergency responders and the media who have to work together and know what’s going on in a hurricane. We use that opportunity to educate people on

After six months of patiently waiting loved ones welcomed home the Marines and Sailors of Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 3 upon their arrival to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point from Afghanistan May 7.

While deployed, VMAQ-3 fl ew more than 2,575 hours in combat, conducting more than 630 missions, and jamming enemy communications in support of operations in southern Afghanistan.

“The communications jamming is critical because the insurgents use communica-tions to set up ambushes and coordinate attacks on coalition forces,” said Capt. Nathan C. Berth, electronic countermeasures offi cer for VMAQ-3. “It’s given all our troops outside the wire the upper hand. They’re able to successfully do their mission whether it’s convoys, road clearing, country building, or raids without the enemy being able to use an early warning system.”

After a successful deployment, the Moondogs came home to a warm welcome. Fam-ilies, friends, an ensemble from the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing Band, and supporters from the USO greeted the Marines when they returned to the VMAQ-3 hangar.

“It’s night and day from being deployed and being able to stay at home and see your family,” said Berth. “Being able to have those little creature comforts are nice again. For most guys, it’s getting reacquainted with the family. One of our captains had a kid while he was deployed, and this is going to be the fi rst time he’s seen his new born.”

It wasn’t until shortly after midnight when the families reunited with their Marines and Sailors.

“I felt really empty inside while he was away,” said Trinh DiNoto, who welcomed home her husband, 1st Lt. Christopher J. DiNoto. “When he arrived, I felt like we were whole again, like our family was complete.”

Donald J. Coons, a retired corpsman and a member of the Marine Corps League, John A. Lejeune detachment of Virginia Beach, Va., was also in attendance. This Viet-nam War and Beirut veteran came to meet a friend and fellow member of the Marine Corps League, Petty Offi cer 2nd Class Kenneth Palmer, a corpsman for VMAQ-3. In his years, Coons said returns have changed much for the better.

“It was my honor and a privilege to meet and greet the Marines coming home,” said Coons. “I think it’s a great opportunity to say thanks for a job well done. I think it’s great the way the military is being treated today in comparison to the way we were be-ing treated when we came back from Vietnam. It’s a major change. It’s wonderful.”

Air station breaks ground for new sports complex PFC. CORY D. POLOM MCAS CHERRY POINT

Members of the Cherry Point community will have a new complex to conduct athletics in the future. A new sports com-plex is being built across from the Child Development Center where Lanham Housing once stood.

“The athletic complex will be built in stages,” said Ches-ter A. Conklin, the facilities director for Cherry Point. “The initial stage will be the removal of debris, building up of the slope of the ground and fi nally the laying of sod and seeding of the remaining area.”

When fi nished, the new sports complex will cover 15 acres and will serve as a safer place to conduct combat fi tness tests and physical training sessions rather than using the open road. The complex will also have restrooms and extra parking space.

“After this is done we will move to stage two in the future. Until then the complex will be opened for use by the public for practices and intramural games,” said Cmdr. Kevin K. Jun-tunen, a facilities engineer and the resident offi cer in charge of construction for Cherry Point.

Juntunen said after the complex is fi nished it will be the site of a running track, two athletic fi elds, a combat fi tness test site and beach-like volleyball courts.

“We are trying to make sure the fi elds that are currently being used for all athletics get a chance for a break,” said Jun-tunen. “They are being torn up by the constant use and that is why this new complex is so vital. The softball fi elds never get a break. They start to be severely damaged in the outfi elds which are causing headaches for the athletic grounds crews

In September 2007, a late-night fi re broke out, de-stroying Cherry Point’s World War II-era headquarters building. Marines, Sailors and Department of Defense civilians were moved to modular buildings and tempo-rary work spaces throughout the air station to continue on with their duties, not knowing when construction on a new building would occur.

Nearly four years later, an 84,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art headquarters building now houses 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point personnel. The structure was built to

help the air station save money by using less energy, water and being environmental friendly.

“The contractors hired to build the new headquar-ters used recycled pieces of the old building as well as local products,” said Cmdr. Kevin K. Juntunen, a fa-cilities engineer and resident offi cer in charge of con-struction for Cherry Point. “The fi nished building uses many environmental friendly products to help make the building more energy effi cient.”

If you are a football fan, the NFL draft was a breath of fresh air during an otherwise long drought. After the Super Bowl and before the preseason, there is nothing for the football fan to watch except for the draft. It is our one infusion of football news every spring. It is also where hope springs eternal. At this time our team, no matter how bad they may have been last year, can draft a player who can make all the difference and turn a bad team into a great one for the coming season. Or at least we think that can happen, until reality hits in the fall. For Carolina Panthers’ fans, the question now is, can Cam Newton translate winning a National Championship and a Heisman Trophy in college to the NFL ,or will he fail to live up to his fi rst-pick-of-the-draft status?

The process leading up to the NFL draft has been compared quite accurately to a cattle auction. First, the college football combine, where all the major pro prospects get mea-sured and timed and judged by the NFL teams and scouts. They take intelligence tests and run and jump and are measured in every way imaginable. Later, there are in-depth interviews and separate individual workouts to make sure that the player the team wants is really the player the team is getting. The scrutiny gets even more intense the higher the draft pick and the more important the position. With the amount of money on the line and the risk involved if the player doesn’t perform as anticipated, careers are at risk if the team picks the wrong person. For every Peyton Manning there is a Ryan Leaf or JaMarcus Russell.

Scripture records another draft – one that shows us the qualities God looks for. We pick up the story in 1 Samuel 15. God has rejected Saul because he failed to obey all God commanded. Saul was the fi rst King of Israel and one impressive individual. The prob-lem, just as with high draft picks, was that the potential failed to materialize. In terms of the NFL draft, Saul was franchise quarterback material; he was physically impressive and showed promise. On the other hand, he also had serious red fl ags. He was indecisive and rash, and he wanted to do things his own way rather than God’s. In his fi nal chance, he failed to execute the clear game plan that his coach, God, had given him in his battle with the Amalekites.

Since Saul had chosen not to live in obedience to God, God decided that it was time to draft a new king. The Lord told Samuel the prophet – in this story God’s general man-ager - to go to Bethlehem and anoint one of the sons of a man named Jesse to be the new king. He told Samuel he would reveal which one to anoint when he got there. At a large banquet, all the sons of Jesse were brought before Samuel to see which one he would choose. When Samuel saw the oldest son, Eliab, he was convinced that he was the one, but God told Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward ap-pearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)

The rest of Jesse’s sons were brought before Samuel, but none were chosen. “Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, ‘The Lord

has not chosen these.’ So he asked Jesse, ‘Are these all the sons you have?’ ‘There is still the youngest,’ Jesse answered. ‘He is tending the sheep.’ Samuel said, ‘Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.’ So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fi ne appearance and handsome features. Then the Lord said, ‘Rise and anoint him; he is the one.’” (1 Samuel 16:10-12)

So David was anointed king of Israel and would later become the greatest king in Israel’s history.

The lesson for us is an important one. Do we look at the outward appearance, or do we seek to look deeper, to the heart? Do we seek someone with all the measurable quali-ties, but who lacks character and integrity? In terms of the draft, we will then choose Ryan Leaf over Tom Brady. In terms of leadership, we would choose a Saul over a King David .

It is also important for us personally – do we focus on our outward appearance, or do we focus on our own heart – our honor, our character, and our integrity? Not that the physical isn’t important – David was a great warrior - but that wasn’t the key. The key, from which all else fl owed, was his heart. It must be for us as well. Focus on the heart, and you will be number one draft pick material in God’s eyes, or as Scripture says, “an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the master and prepared to do any good work.” (2 Timothy 2:21)

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – As darkness fell over Gettysburg, Pa., April 27, a cool, spring wind swirled around the roughly 70 Marines from Marine Wing Support Squadron 271. The wind brought the threat of rain, but also the warm, comforting scent of charcoal from a campfi re and airy, musical notes from the absentminded strumming of a guitar in the distance.

The Marines from MWSS-271, staff noncommissioned offi cers and noncommissioned offi cers, came to the site of the historic Civil War battle with one expressed purpose – to see how they could grow and learn together as enlisted leaders.

The Marines set up camp in the yard next to the home of Seamus Garrahy, a man who departed the Marine Corps as a corporal in 1968. Though Garrahy left the Corps, the Corps never left him. Now 70 years old, Garrahy has spent the last 30 years showing a small stature can conceal a big heart, opening his home to any and all Marines who wish to visit and camp out. His home has adopted an affectionate title – Marine Barracks Gettysburg.

The fi rst night, thunder and rain came with fury and purpose, rattling the Marines in their tents. But the next day, as the Marines toured the storied battlegrounds, the dark, forebod-ing clouds surrendered the fi ght to clear, blue skies.

Sgt. Maj. Brett C. Scheuer, the sergeant major for MWSS-271, led the exploration of the battleground. A history enthusiast whose great-great-grandfather fought in the Battle of Gettysburg with the 102nd New York Infantry Regiment, Scheuer said he hoped his Marines departed the experience with an understanding of their history.

“It’s important to carry on our traditions and our history as our junior Marines become senior leaders,” Scheuer said.

Scheuer said ultimately, the main goal was team building, to heighten camaraderie and esprit de corps.

Sgt. Manuel D. Ayala seemed to embrace the sergeant major’s message and the purpose of the trip.

“It’s amazing to be in a location like this,” said Ayala, a fi eld wireman with MWSS-271’s Headquarters and Service Company. “I’ve read some books on the battle, but it’s nothing like being here and walking the terrain.”

Ayala said he believed there were tremendous similarities between the human experi-ence in warfare during the Battle of Gettysburg and what Marines go through today.

“Everyone here fought for what they believed in,” Ayala said of the Civil War troops. “They fought for the men to their left and right, and they fought to protect their families. That’s also the case for everyone I’ve ever served with.”

The Marines made several stops on their tour, visiting the site of Pickett’s Charge, Big Round Top and Devil’s Den, among others.

It was touching for many to connect southern Pennsylvania’s lush, rolling countryside, with green grass speckled with yellow wildfl owers, to the violent clash that made the re-gion famous.

“Gettysburg was a turning point in the fi ght against slavery and the preservation of our nation,” said Gunnery Sgt. Hugo R. Duran, the company fi rst sergeant for MWSS-271’s Engineer Co. “This trip has renewed my sense of patriotism.”

Duran also expressed high hopes for the leadership lessons that could be learned from the experience.

“Everyone has a leadership style, I can’t say mine is better or more effective than anyone else’s,” Duran said. “We have so many different leadership styles here among the 70 staff NCOs and NCOs here today, so there’s a lot that can be learned.”

Staff Sgt. Joshua D. Hanson, the H&S Co. gunnery sergeant, said that engaged leader-ship holds up the institution and sets standards to follow.

“By getting the senior staff NCOs and the NCOs together, this trip provided the chance to for the NCOs to engage their senior leaders on a different level and allowed the Marines the chance to build a stronger bond,” Hanson said. “I think the sergeants and corporals will come back with a lot more motivation. I had several conversations with NCOs who asked them about my style of leadership; I explained that my style of leadership evolves with ev-ery Marine I meet, and I adopt something from their style. A lot of sergeants and corporals will come back and implement that with their junior Marines, and that will build a more cohesive group, not just at a unit level but at the squadron level.”

After touring the battleground, the Marines returned to Marine Barracks Gettysburg

where Garrahy and several local Marine veterans had been busy cooking steaks and chill-ing beer for the Marines to feast on.

“Steaks and beers” night is a part of the institution of Marine Barracks Gettysburg, an opportunity for the visiting Marines to share stories of the past and present with Garrahy and his crew of vets.

“There is nothing better than hanging around Marines,” Garrahy said. “This place wouldn’t be home without them.”

“What we do here is just a little bit of what we can do to give back and show these guys and gals how much we appreciate what they do,” said Stan Clark, who left the Marines as a staff sergeant in 1976 and now helps Garrahy support the Corps in any way he can.

Clark manned the grill earnestly, producing juicy steaks nearly as thick as they were wide. The steaks were coated in Gung-ho Sauce, Garrahy’s own special recipe.

As the Marines dined and shared stories, they were given but one rule – they were not under any circumstances allowed to feed Recon Marine, Garrahy’s golden, shaggy-haired dog with a penchant for hanging around the picnic tables.

It was the second time the Marines from MWSS-271 had visited Marine Barracks Get-tysburg, and Scheuer presented Garrahy with a plaque thanking him for his hospitality.

As the sun dipped below Big Round Top, the boulder-strewn hill that served as the left fl ank of the Union defense more than a century ago, Garrahy’s wife, Linda Bell, played “Taps” on the bugle, in chilling remembrance of the more than 50,000 lives lost near where the Marines now stood.

Scheuer said educational trips like the one to Gettysburg benefi t every Marine in the squadron. He said after last year’s trip, the squadron didn’t have a non-judicial punishment for 90 days and didn’t have a court martial for nine months.

“It certainly renews the sense of leadership and perspective for the NCOs who go on the trip, but it also shows the younger guys, the lance corporals and the privates fi rst class, that rank has its privileges,” Scheuer said.

Cpl. Robert W. Hartnett, a food service specialist with the squadron, said he was a lance corporal the year before and was unable to attend the trip, but when he saw the more senior Marines come back, it was inspiring.

“When they got back last year they wouldn’t stop talking about it, so it made me envious, made me want to get promoted so I could be like them,” Hartnett said. “Now, being here, seeing guys like Seamus, those guys are infl uential and impactful. It’s our job to uphold the traditions and standards they set and continue to uphold. They have a big heart for the Marine Corps.”

“What I learned here was not about the Battle of Gettysburg. I looked to the sergeant major and the steaks and beer crew and I took away a message of selfl essness,” Hanson said. “It’s not about me – it’s about taking care of the Marines around me. We’re a family, it’s what we were taught when we fi rst enlisted; it’s what many of us enlisted for. Trips like this solidify the base of engagement and cohesion that are so important.”

CAMP DWYER, Afghanistan – A new Marine Corps unmanned aerial vehicle squadron took responsibility for support-ing Marines and coalition troops in south-western Afghanistan with aerial surveil-lance May 7.

Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 3, deployed out of Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twen-tynine Palms, Calif., will now provide Marine Corps UAV support in Nimroz and Helmand provinces using the RQ-7B Shadow and Boeing ScanEagle UAVs.

“I believe we provided a good change-over for VMU-3 to set them up for suc-cess,” said Lt. Col. Mikel R. Huber, the commanding offi cer of VMU-2. “I hope they take everything we worked for and

build upon it.” With turnover complete, the outgoing

squadron, VMU-2, will prepare to return home to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C.

“The Marines did a great job out here,” said Huber. “Now it’s time to go home, so the Marines can take some much-deserved rest.”

VMU-3, established in 2008, is one of the youngest squadrons in the Marine Corps, but has already completed one de-ployment to Afghanistan.

“We want to show and demonstrate the capabilities of our new squadron and the Shadow,” said VMU-3 executive offi cer Maj. Matt L. Walker, a native of Breck-enridge, Colo. “We’ve got a great team of Marines, from our most junior Marines to our commanding offi cer, to do this.”

Though the squadron is one of the newest in the Marine Corps, the VMU-3 leadership said professional experience will help provide support to grunts on the ground.

“I have deployed fi ve other times us-ing UAVs,” said Sgt. Chad D. John, an unmanned aerial vehicle operator with VMU-3, and a native of Shiprock, N.M. “I used an older UAV, the Pioneer, before I operated the Shadow. This new UAV has great capabilities and offers great support for the troops on the ground.”

To help prepare for their deployment, VMU-3 vehicles logged more than 800 hours in training, including working with Marine Corps ground units slated to de-ploy.

“We did a lot of training prior to coming out here,” said the VMU-3 squadron ser-

geant major, Sgt. Maj. James Lee Johnson Jr., a native of El Paso, Texas. “A lot of units we trained with are deploying here. We were able to establish working rela-tionships and rapport with them to better support their missions.”

Headquartered at Camp Dwyer, Afghan-istan, deployed Marine Corps UAV squad-rons use small, lightweight vehicles that are able to stay in the air for several hours to supply Marines and their coalition part-ners with aerial information throughout combat missions.

Additionally, Marine Corps unmanned aerial vehicle intelligence analysts within the UAV squadrons provide real-time aeri-al surveillance for troops on the ground us-ing the ScanEagle and the RQ-7B Shadow unmanned aerial vehicles.

MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. – Some of the fi nest young football players in the U.S. are competing for their chance to play in the inaugural Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl Jan. 3, 2012.

The Semper Fidelis Bowl, which will be held in conjunc-tion with Fiesta Bowl Week in Phoenix, Ariz., is part of a partnership between Marine Corps Recruiting Command and Junior Rank. The bowl game, which will be nationally televised, will be an East-West format game featuring the top 100 high school seniors that participated in Junior Rank camps throughout the year.

Junior Rank was founded in 2008 by Shaon Berry, a youth football coach and former University of Pittsburgh running back. The goal of the program is to develop the next generation of student athletes through education, eval-uation and instruction. Football players from middle school age all the way up to high school seniors can attend the camps throughout the country.

“Leadership, attitude, and teamwork are integral to both the United States Marine Corps and Junior Rank,” said Maj. Gen. Ronald L. Bailey, commanding general of Marine Corps Recruiting Command. “So we are proud to partner with an organization whose mission is to help young men develop character, integrity and focus on academic excel-lence; three keys to victory both on and off the fi eld.”

As part of the camps, Marines from the local area will at-tend to lead physical training for the players and to mentor them on leadership and discipline.

“We are there to assist in physical training, develop-ing the player’s character and to teach them the life skills a person needs to be a quality citizen,” said Capt. Martin Galvancastillo, the recruiting command project offi cer for Junior Rank. “The Marines will serve as mentors for (the football players).”

According to Capt. Brad A. Goldvarg, recruitment ad-vertising offi cer, 6th Marine Corps District, the camps have been a great success so far.

“I think the camps have really been fantastic,” said Gold-

varg, who has attended two camps. “There are great qual-ity kids there. We’re changing the impression of the Ma-rine Corps. The Marine Corps exists because the American people want a Marine Corps.”

The Marine Corps partnered with Junior Rank as an op-portunity to showcase its core values of honor, courage and commitment to a broader audience throughout the country.

“The United States Marine Corps is the embodiment of honor, tradition and working with your teammate to achieve an objective,” said Berry. “We look forward to bringing in the best athletes from across the nation to a beautiful setting in Phoenix for a true celebration of the game.”

Looking ahead, the Marine Corps will team up with Ju-nior Rank for many more camps across the country during 2011 leading up to the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl. To fi nd out when Junior Rank and the Marines will be in your area or for more information, visit http://www.junior-rank.com/.

hurricane risks and what they need to prepare for.”The main attraction was NOAA’s WP-3D Orion, an aircraft they use for

‘hurricane hunting,’ or dropping scientifi c instruments from the aircraft to measure weather conditions inside the storm. This information is then used to help forecast the path of the storm, vastly increasing prediction accuracy. According to NOAA maps, forecasters would have predicted Hurricane Katrina to make landfall about 140 miles or more west of New Orleans if they had not used the hurricane hunter aircraft. With the hur-ricane hunter aircraft, they successfully predicted where the storm would make landfall.

“We used the opportunity to help them understand how important hur-ricane hunting is and how very serious these folks take their job,” said Kat Broome, deputy director of Carteret County emergency services. “I look at it as if they made the investment to gather information and make the best possible forecast, so the public gets the best possible information and can make informed decisions on how to protect their own lives and fami-lies to ensure their own personal safety. Although in this area we have not been hit in with a hurricane very recently, the potential is always there.”

Col. Philip J. Zimmerman, MCAS Cherry Point commanding offi cer, has been stationed here four times and has seen storms pass through the area several times. According to Zimmerman, only some of the damage comes from the winds, while most of the damage comes from the rain fl oods and storm surge.

“We have an emergency operations center to coordinate with NOAA, and with our local Naval Meteorological and Oceanographic center,” said Zimmerman. “We’ll look at the predictions of where it’s going to hit and set appropriate destructive weather conditions. We’ll put service people on alert to repair power and essential services to the base. As the storm approaches, we’ll start shutting down services and the 2nd Marine Air-craft Wing will start redeploying or move aircraft into the hangars. We’ll set conditions so we can weather the storm. As soon as the storm passes, we’ll bring services back up.”

NOAA Cmdr. Carl E. Newman, a hurricane hunter pilot, said his crew makes response plans credible and is similar to a military service.

“The whole point of the tour is to share with the public our credibility, make them aware of what we do and how it’s done, so that when they’re asked by authorities to evacuate or stay, they’ll do exactly that,” said Newman. “This is fun. I love fl ying airplanes and taking part in the sci-ence, but this is a public service, like being in the Marines. You protect the country, and we protect the country from dangerous things like storms.”

trying to prepare them for the next sport.”Conklin said the importance of the new complex goes beyond just needing relief for the other

fi elds and Juntunen agreed. The fi rst stage of the sports complex is tentatively scheduled to be fi n-ished at the end of June and open for use after a few months.

“Above all, the reason why this complex is needed is because the Marine Corps and Navy are putting a huge priority on individual fi tness of its service members,” said Juntunen. “This is going to give the individual Marine and Sailor a chance to go and run in a safer environment. It is also going to be a place where the Marine Corps can run the CFT in a safe place with level ground and no holes.”

Cherry Point residents are looking forward to the full completion of the sports complex and look forward to having a place to run other than on the running trail.

“It is perfect timing,” said Cpl. Richard D. Hill, a motor transport mechanic with Marine Air Support Squadron 1. “I have been waiting a long time for the air station to have a track. It is greatly needed, and I believe it will increase the safety of the runners on the air station.”

2.5 percent of its energy from solar panels.“We have maxed out the area we had available for solar panels without making the headquarters

building look too gaudy,” said Juntunen. “We placed the panels on the fl at part as well as a small section of incline on the roof.”

Other amenities added to help control the cost of energy used by the headquarters residents is the air-conditioning system, individual room control and accurate lighting.

“The lighting in some of the rooms are defused out of the top of the lights to help create a more even lighting for the rooms,” said Chester A. Conklin, the facilities director for Cherry Point. “If someone needs a little bit more light, there are desk lights that a person can use.”

Conklin said he enjoys the building’s new technology and feels it is important to help save money for the air station.

“There are a lot of common areas in the new building, and to help with the usage of the power, we installed the motion detector lighting system,” said Conklin. “If there is no one in a room for a while the lights will automatically shut off. This helps take away from having to have a person in charge of that room. Instead we can actually control a lot of what the building does in order to help save energy.”

Juntunen said the importance for all the new energy saving technology is because it is good for business.

“People just look a few years down the road and hope to see signifi cant results,” said Juntunen. “The important thing is looking at what it will cost you over the life of the building. With the new technology being used in this building, it should help save money over time.”

HELMAND PROVINCE, Afghanistan – Marines with Regimental Combat Team 1, with the aid of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), conducted a vehicle in-terdiction and search operation near Af-ghanistan’s border with Pakistan, May 4.

Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 supplied two CH-53D Sea Stallions to support RCT-1 Marines while they per-formed searches of vehicles traveling near Afghanistan’s southwestern border with Pakistan.

Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squad-ron 169 supplied two AH-1W Super Co-bras to provide offensive air support to the Marines on the ground, explained Capt. Glen Taylor, the assistant future operations offi cer and heliborne unit commander with RCT-1.

“We’re interdicting smugglers who are running weapons, fi ghters and drugs through the deserts on the Afghan-Paki-stan border.” said Taylor. “The tools we

have put in place allow us to make aerial observations of vehicles in this area and if they fi t the profi le of a vehicle likely to belong to a smuggler, we utilize the Co-bras to safely bring them to a halt. As the ground force, we search the vehicles and the personnel inside. We determine if they are carrying any contraband and ques-tion the personnel to see what their stories are.”

Recently, Marines with RCT-1’s aerial reaction force, reinforced by Company E, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, seized more than $2.5 million-worth of raw opium and heroin after stopping a suspicious vehicle. These types of opera-tions are intended to interdict and disrupt insurgent forces from transporting arms, narcotics and supplies across the border from Pakistan into Afghanistan.

“Operations like these demonstrate to the enemy that we can come in with aerial reaction forces and disrupt their supply lines not only from the ground but from the air as well,” said Maj. Christopher S.

Benfi eld, a future operations planner with 2nd MAW (Fwd.). “By coming in from the air, the Marines are able to catch the insur-gents off guard and throw their operations off-balance.”

Benfi eld went on to explain the far- reaching impact of these types of opera-tions.

“Anything we can do to take away the means that the enemy uses to fund their activities is always a help to the troops on the ground,” Benfi eld added.

Capt. Anthony Damico, a CH-53D pilot with HMH-463, who served as the assault fl ight lead and escort fl ight lead for the most recent string of interdiction missions, said these operations fi t perfectly into his squadron’s motto, “supporting the infantry since 1944.”

“Aerial interdictions have become a priority for RCT-1, and it is always our priority to support the infantry,” Damico said. “If their intention is to interdict then it becomes ours to help them make that happen.”

Although the interdictions don’t always lead to big fi nds, Taylor said they serve a secondary purpose.

“We don’t always get weapons or drugs on every hit, but we do pick up intelligence and cause some disruption to their traffi ck-ing,” Taylor said.

Taylor added that the seamless integra-tion between air and ground forces leads to the positive results that aerial interdiction and disruption operations have been yield-ing lately.

“This is the second time this particular force has done it, so they’re pretty well rehearsed,” Taylor said. “We were able to keep the same air crew we had last time, and they did a great job. They’re becom-ing more and more aggressive and are able to get us very close in and perform some quick landings allowing the Marines to get in and get out in the quickest way pos-sible.”

A sandstorm moves in while CH-53D Sea Stallions with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 return from an aerial-interdiction mission in southwestern Afghanistan May 4. HMH-463 supplied two CH-53D Sea Stallions to support Marines with Regimental Combat Team 1 while they performed searches of vehicles traveling near Afghanistan’s southwestern border with Pakistan.

In his workshop with the single-minded determination of a man obsessed, Staff Sgt. Joseph Frangiosa Jr. works long hours in his spare time with no other purpose than to create a form of time machine for others to enjoy.

One piece of his handiwork resides at the Havelock Tourist Center where it can be seen by hundreds of people every day. It doesn’t run at 88 miles per hour or use a fl ux capacitor, but it does serve as a window through time. The 4-by-4-foot diorama of an 1862 Union blockhouse fort guarding a railroad bridge crossing Slocum Creek is part of a museum exhibit to educate visitors on the Havelock area from prehistory to now.

Frangiosa, an MV-22B Osprey maintenance controller with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 165, said he loves the thrill of making the past come to life and telling stories of those long gone. To this end, he has completed seven professional-grade dioramas for both hire and his personal collection. Frangiosa often displays his works at public events for people to take notice. One of them was Edward Ellis, the chairman of the Havelock Historical Exhibit Committee, who commissioned Frangiosa to create the Civil War diorama.

The results of the project were as eye catching as Frangiosa’s other exhibits, prompt-ing the Havelock City Council to offi cially thank him in the city hall April 25.

“While others could have built a replica of the fort, no one would have sprinkled the detail, sweated the accuracy, or piled on the rich dollops of personality he did,” said Ellis. “In my estimation, Joseph Frangiosa created an enduring masterpiece that brings joy to the study of history and will be long admired by this and future generations. The people of Havelock owe him a deep debt of gratitude.”

Though Frangiosa was hired for the job, the purpose behind his artwork is the impor-tance of keeping the past alive.

“It’s almost like bringing that person or that time period back to life,” Frangiosa said. “If we don’t continue to do that, it just gets forgotten about over the centuries. Hopefully, it will teach the next generation something, either to not repeat the same mistakes or to remember the triumphant events and to remember the fallen. We have to keep that going, otherwise people will forget.”

To ensure the past isn’t forgotten, Frangiosa creates his dioramas with vivid detail. He studies and cross references every minor detail in the piece to make sure it is histori-cally accurate and uses the information to make a build plan. With a picture in mind, he scrapes together household supplies from various stores and uses fi gures from model railway sets as characters. When his job is fi nished, he has a valuable work of art such as his diorama of an 18th century 74-gun 3rd rate ship-of-the-line, which has an appraised value of $16,000.

With the upcoming centennial of Marine Aviation, Frangiosa has turned his attention to immortalizing the past 100 years of Marine fl ight. He said he already has a plan of ac-tion and will begin work on this next piece of art as soon as time permits. To Frangiosa, this is more than just a pet project. It is a way to support the Marine Corps beyond the scope of his role as an Osprey maintenance controller.

“What we always fall back on in boot camp is the history of the Marine Corps and how it will affect the future of the Marine Corps,” Frangiosa said. “The constant recogni-tion, preservation and updating of the Marine Corps’ history is for the public, especially because public opinion is what has kept the Marine Corps active. They love us because of the constant vigilance of Quantico with the Marine Corps Museum and Marine Corps University.”

Much like the famous photo in World War II of the fl ag raising on Iwo Jima, Frangiosa hopes to bring about positive public relations with the aviation project and show the public what the Marine Corps is all about. While the dioramas may not be as famous as Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal’s proclamation that the fl ag raising on Iwo Jima meant a Marine Corps for the next 500 years, Frangiosa said the diorama will advance the mission to immortalize Marine Corps history in the public eye.

Staff Sgt. Joseph Frangiosa Jr., an MV-22 Osprey maintenance controller with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 165, views his work at the Havelock Tourist Center April 25. The display was based on a drawing by a Civil War Union soldier stationed a fort in 1862. Frangiosa said the dioramas he makes are a way to make the past come alive.

Crewmen prepare aircraft for takeoff aboard a diorama of the USS Langley, the fi rst American aircraft carrier ever built. Frangiosa constructs dioramas like these to make the past come back to life. As part of that aspiration Frangiosa makes sure the models are made to scale and contain intricate detail.

This 74-gun 3rd rate ship-of-the-line of the 18th century depicts many pre through post battle scenes above and below decks. Frangiosa builds dioramas like this and then loans them to nearby museums.

“HANNA” (PG-13)“Hanna” is an action thriller about a teenage girl with a mysterious history.Saoirse Ronan (“The Lovely Bones,” “Atonement”) stars as Hanna Heller, the

titular character, a seemingly innocent 16-year-old girl who is raised and educated by her father in the wild and cold woods of Northern Finland.

Eric Bana (“The Time Travelers,” “Munich”) stars as Erik Heller, her father and a former CIA agent, who trained her to be a cold hearted killing machine for her future deadly showdown with an intelligence agent.

Through this intense training and strict upbringing, Hanna possesses the strength, stamina, and the intelligence of a military person.

Eventually, this feral child assassin is dispatched by her father on a journey across Europe to fi nd a ruthless and powerful U.S. intelligence operative.

Her mission is tracked by her apparent target, the wicked CIA agent Marissa Wiegler, played by Cate Blanchett (“Robin Hood”), who has her own dark secrets.

Nearing her assigned target, Hanna faces more startling revelations about her exis-tence and unexpected questions about her past, as Wiegler and her fellow agents are always in hot pursuit.

Also starring is Tom Hollander (“The Soloist”) as Isaacs; Olivia Williams (“The Ghostwriter”) as Rachel; and Jason Fleming (“Clash of the Titans”) as Sebastian.

Director Joe Wright (“The Soloist,” “Atonement,” “Pride & Prejudice”) shot this thought provoking and haunting adventure fi lm, with a kind of Grimm fairy tale qual-ity, in four countries with the help of the talented cinematographer Alwin Kuchler and the pulsating sound by the Chemical Brothers.

“Hanna” is not your typical action fi lm, but nevertheless is an intense, exhilarating and fast-paced cat-and-mouse thriller, reminiscent of the recent European art house fi lm “The American.”

“FAST FIVE” (PG-13)“Fast Five” is the latest action fi lm in the street racing series that started with “The

Fast and the Furious.”The fi fth installment in this series begins where the fourth ended and has all the

same elements and star line-up.Once again, Dominic and his crew fi nd themselves on the wrong side of the law as

they try to switch lanes between a ruthless drug lord and a relentless federal agent.Vin Diesel (“Babylon A.D.”, “The Pacifi er”) reprises his role as Dominic Toretto,

a talented street racer and auto mechanic, who escaped custody with the help of his

friend Brian and his sister.Paul Walker (“Running Scared,” “Takers”) stars

again as Brian O’Conner, a former LAPD cop and disgraced ex-FBI agent, who is also a great street rac-er and mechanic, and who is Dominic’s ally.

Jordana Brewster (“Annapolis”) co-stars as Mia Toretto, another street racer who is Dominic’s sister and Brian’s love interest.

Since the breakout, they have crossed many bor-ders together to elude authorities and are now in Rio de Janeiro.

Backed into a corner, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom.

The unlikely allies assemble an elite team of top racers, knowing that their only shot of getting out for good is to confront the corrupt businessman, played by Joaquim De Almeida (“Vandetta”), who wants them dead.

However, he is not the only one pursuing them.There is a hard-nosed federal agent, Lucas ‘Luke’ Hobbs, played by Dwayne John-

son (“Tooth Fairy,” “The Game Plan”), who never misses a target.Along with a tough strike team, the elite DSS agent is assigned to track down

Dominic and Brian, and launch an all-out assault to capture them.As the strike team is tracking them through Brazil, Hobbs soon fi nds out that he

can’t separate the good guys from the bad.Hobbs must now rely on his instincts to corner his prey, before someone else runs

them down fi rst.Also starring are Tyrese Gibson (“Transformers”) as Roman Pearce, Brian’s child-

hood friend and fellow street racer; Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges (“Hancock”) as Tej Parker, and old friend of Brian and Roman, and now an ex-street racer; and Sung Kang (“Live Free or Die Hard”) as Han Lue, another street racer and part of the crew.

Director Justin Lin (“Fast and Furious,” “Annapolis,” “Better Luck Tomorrow,” “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift”) took the helm again with a big new perspec-tive at the highly successful high-testosterone series.

“Fast Five” is a high-octane action fl ick with lots of muscle cars and tough star power and the absolute perfect setting of Rio de Janeiro.

Forget the many previous silly installments and take a thrilling high-fl ying ride with hot cars and hot stars. Enjoy the explosive action and mindless entertainment.

NHCCP completes external surveys

Naval Health Clinic Cherry Point recently completed a comprehensive survey by The Joint Commission.

The Joint Commission, or TJC, accredits and certifi es more than 18,000 health care organizations and programs nationwide, ensuring the health care provided is safe and effective. Navy Military Treatment Fa-cilities are required to seek and maintain ac-creditation.

During the tri-annual survey, April 12-14, TJC surveyors conducted on site observa-tions and interviews and assessed the clin-ic’s overall performance.

“The surveyors were very honored to come to our clinic, they were very im-pressed with the Sailors and all the person-nel at NHCCP,” said quality manager Mar-tine Myers. They evaluated performance in emergency management, environment of care, infection control, medication manage-ment, and National Patient Safety Goals, just to name a few.

The standards they evaluate all go into providing quality health care. “It’s one of the ways we validate what we know we are already doing,” said Navy Capt. Edgardo Perez-Lugo, the health clinic commanding offi cer.

For the fi rst time, the commission also evaluated life safety code requirements such as physical security, equipment readi-ness, and emergency or disaster prepared-ness. NHCCP strives to deliver safe, quality care in an environment free from potential hazards for both our patients and staff.

In addition to TJC survey, the Navy Med-ical Inspector General, or MEDIG, team si-multaneously evaluated the clinic to ensure that NHCCP is compliant with all program requirements.

An internal Navy medicine team, MEDIG visited at the same time as The Joint Com-mission, assessing effi ciency, readiness and quality of health care in accordance with the Secretary of the Navy, and Bureau of Medi-cine and Surgery. The NHCCP command was noted for “best practice” in civilian timekeeping and accolades for their quality management, risk management, education and training, case management, customer relations, comptroller services, information management and facilities programs.

TJC can survey the clinic anytime be-tween 18 and 39 months after the survey is completed. The clinic is always ready to be assessed and surveyed.

Cherry Point releases 2010 water quality report

GEMENI GROUP

ENVIORNMENTAL AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT

Sampling resultsDuring the past year we have taken hundreds of water samples in order to determine the presence of any radioactive,

biological, inorganic, volatile organic, or synthetic organic contaminants. The state requires us to monitor for certain sub-stances less than once per year because the concentrations of these substances do not change frequently. All testing during 2010 was compliant with the National Primary Drinking Water Standards. Where does my water come from?

The source of Cherry Point’s drinking water is groundwater from the Castle Hayne Aquifer, which extends from southern Virginia to Wilmington, North Carolina. Water is removed from depths of from 195 feet to 329 feet below the surface by 26 wells and then pumped to a state-of-the-art water treatment plant. The Cherry Point Water Treatment Plant provides, on average, 3.2 million gallons per day of drinking water to 18,181 customers who live and work at MCAS Cherry Point. Water conservation

You can play a role in conserving water and saving yourself money in the process by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water. Here are a few tips:•Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity. •Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth.•Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it and you can save almost 6,000 gallons per year.•Check toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank. Watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from an invisible toilet leak. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year.•Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances. Then check the meter after 15 minutes. If it moved, you have a leak.
