Marine Corps Air Station Beau-fort Structural Fire Department taught kitchen fire prevention safety to students at schools aboard Laurel Bay as part of Na-tional Fire Prevention Week, Oc-tober 6-12.

National Fire Prevention Week is held in remembrance of the Great Chicago Fire, which happened Oct. 8 and 9, 1871. The fire killed more than 250 people and de-stroyed over 17 thousand build-ings, inspiring fire safety codes and public awareness through-out the U.S. In remembrance of the people killed and damage

The Air Station ended fire pre-vention week with a visit from thed K3 and K4 classes of St. Pe-ter’s Catholic School, Oct. 11.

The students toured the fire station and received a demon-stration of how the fire fighter’s gear and equipment worked, which was concluded by a high-flying ladder act.

Access aboard military installations is available to contractors, service mem-bers, federal employees, re-tirees and dependents who proper government-issued identification. All other personnel who wish for ac-cess to installations, includ-ing Laurel Bay, must have a sponsor who is a retiree, federal employee or active duty service member.

“People must remem-ber security is everyone’s responsibility and this is a federal reservation where it

is our job to ensure we can provide the safest environ-ment for active duty, fed-eral employees and anyone who comes aboard the in-stallation,” said Odell Joiner, Marine Corps Air Station security manager.

While serving as a spon-sor, all guests must be es-corted at all times from ar-rival to departure and must possess proper identifica-tion. Those who cannot be sponsored include contrac-tors who will be on base to conduct assigned jobs.

Procedures also apply to Laurel Bay where it is the sponsor’s responsibility to make liaison with the Pro-

vost Marshal Office and es-cort their guest to and from their residence. Guests are also allowed to temporarily reside with individuals on Laurel Bay, but must con-tact housing for approval.

“Our security lately has not been heightened be-cause our standard opera-tions and policy remain the same,” said Joiner.

Security is essential to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort flight operations in preparation of deploy-ment operations in order to set the conditions for the enduring success of supported commands and their missions.

The mess halls aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island held a special meal to honor and celebrate the 238th Birthday of the U.S. Navy, Oct. 10.

“Although Marines may not know the details regarding the Navy’s history, cel-ebrating alongside them is important because throughout the years both ser-vices developed together and were crucial components in the sustainment of this na-tion,” said Chief Amanda Hughes, the com-mand historian for Naval Hospital Beau-fort. “The history of our Navy is rich and something that all sailors from seamen to admirals will carry on from one genera-tion of sailors to the next. Everything our

sailors have done in the past and present made the Navy what it is today, the world’s best naval service.”

On Oct. 13, 1775, the Continental Con-gress authorized the dispatch of two armed vessels to stop British ships from bringing supplies to British forces in Amer-ica. As a result of their decision, the Navy and Naval Committee was formed.

After winning the war, Congress sold the remaining ships and released the seamen and officers. In 1794, Congress authorized the purchase of six war ships to comprise the naval fleet. On Apr. 30, 1798, all re-sponsibilities for naval affairs were moved to the newly created Department of the Navy. Since that moment, 238 years ago, the Navy has developed into the world’s

The pheasant radar system

Lt. Brett CartwrightMAG-31 Deputy Command Chaplain

During World War I, several varieties of birds, such as the homing pigeon, were enlisted in the war effort. Not as well known—but equally as useful—were the pheasant and the parrot. The alertness of these birds equipped them for service as a form of radar.

The French kept parrots in the Eiffel tower as an early warning system. These feath-ered sentries could hear enemy aircraft and raise the alarm long before they arrived.

The pheasant was especially valuable for early warning. Not only were pheasants alert with their sharp ears, but a pheasant could detect the slightest vibrations in the earth from the footfall of distant armies or the pounding of far-off artillery.

One example of this took place on Janu-ary 24, 1915. A flock of alert pheasants re-portedly “shrieked themselves hoarse,” rais-ing alarm over the naval battle of Dogger Bank, 216 miles away.

Alertness is like peripheral vision. It serves

to keep you aware of your surroundings and avoid possible danger. Alertness is the state of being watchful and prompt to meet danger or emergency or in other words be-ing in a state of constant readiness. Under the growing responsibilities of work, family, and personal goals alertness to our physi-cal, mental, and spiritual health will keep us from making serious errors in judgment.

We all are aware of what happens if we are not alert to the dangers of physical and mental neglect. People who practice regular routines of physical and vocational training, proper nutrition both physically and intellectually, and adequate rest are more mentally alert and able to respond to any physical demand. Most people though tend to neglect the need for spiritual alert-ness.

Prophets of all ages have called us to be spiritually alert to our surroundings. Ro-mans 8:6 defines one who is alert to the Spirit of God finds “life and peace.” The one who is not finds “death.” For scripture life in the Spirit requires first a right relationship with God. The Scriptures are fairly clear on

how one can go about doing this. The Gos-pel of John chapter three comes to mind as a good place to start. Second, one needs to nurture that relationship by incorporating healthy practices in your daily life.

Aristotle once taught that in order for us to develop any particular virtue or char-acter trait in our life we needed simply to spend time practicing it. For example, we develop the core value of honor by doing things right because it is the right thing (or honorable) thing to do. The Apostle Paul says that, “if we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit,” Galatians 5:25. Spiritual alertness occurs as we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us through our reading and meditating on scripture, in being com-mitted to set times of private and public prayer, and in the gathering together with the church in its life of worship and practice of charity.

One who lives by the Spirit and is alert to His direction will find their lives producing the fruits of “love, joy, peace, patience, kind-ness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-discipline.” Galatians 5:22.

“Under the growing responsibilities of work, family, and personal goals alertness to our physical, mental, and spiritual health will keep us from making serious errors in judgment.”

Marine Corps Community Servic-es and the Exceptional Family Mem-ber Program held an ADD/ADHD management workshop at the Ed-isto Woods Community Center on Laurel Bay, Oct. 10.

The number of American children diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, has risen 66 percent since the year 2000. In 2012, 10.4 million children were diagnosed, according to an ar-ticle on sciencedaily.com.

During the workshop, parents received information on the symp-

toms of ADD/ADHD, as well as tips to help children and teens cope with their diagnosis.

ADHD is caused by biological dif-ferences in how the brain works, said Kim Preston, the education coordinator for the South Caro-lina parent training and information center, Pro Parents.

“Adults in the lives of children with ADHD need to be aware that these children have different de-velopmental patterns,” said Preston. “These patterns are not always con-sistent with the developmental pat-terns exhibited by children who do not have ADHD.”

Preston informed the parents that

there are three different types of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactivity-impulsive and a combined type.

"In order for a child to be pre-dominately inattentive, they must have six of the possible nine behav-iors," said Preston. "This category includes children who cannot pay attention but are not disruptive or noisy.

"Hyperactivity-impuslive consists of nine specific criterias, the first six relate to hyperactivity and the remaining three relate to impulsive behaviors. To be diagnosed with combined type ADHD, a child must have six of nine possible behaviors in both the inattentive and the hy-

peractivity-impulsive categories.”According to webmd.com, some

symptoms of ADHD are: difficulty paying attention to details and ten-dency to make careless mistakes in school, procrastination, disorga-nized work habits, forgetfulness in daily activities and failure to com-plete tasks such as homework or chores.

In order for a child to be diag-nosed with ADHD, it must be estab-lished that the symptoms of ADHD have been present for at least six months, are inconsistent with the child's development level, and af-fect the child in multiple settings such as at home and school.

There also must be clear evidence of clinically significant impairment in social, academic or occupational functioning.

"The best way for parents to help their child cope with ADHD is to set up a home routine," said Preston. "Some examples are time for school, time for chores, time for homework and time for bed. Since children are famous for doing things last min-ute, a routine will really help."

With the help of the EFMP and the services they provide, parents can get the information they need or pointed in the direction of a subject matter expert. To contact EFMP, call 228-3188.

The Marine Corps will be phasing in a new pistol qualification program that will fully take effect in fiscal year 2015.

Guidelines for the implementation of the new program were released in Ma-rine Administrative Message 168/13 in March. Transition to the new course of fire will take effect Nov. 2014.

The new pistol qualification program marks the first significant change in pis-tol qualifications since the 1980s, incor-porating reduced time limits and a new, human-shaped target. The new target is a 20-inch-wide, 40-inch-tall, gray target

depicting the image of a man and in-cludes such details as facial features and upper body.

“The new course of fire will be more realistic and combat-oriented than the pistol qualification previously imple-mented,” said Sgt. Travis Thornhill, a marksmanship instructor for Station Training with Headquarters and Head-quarters Squadron aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. “The shooter will have to draw their pistol from the holster then shoot at the target in a significantly reduced time limit, giving the Marine a better understanding of how to use the pistol in combat without actually being in combat.”

In one stage of the current pistol quali-fication program, Marines are given 10 minutes to shoot 15 shots at 25 yards. The new Combat Pistol Program train-ing blocks require personnel to work through stages at seven, 15 and 25 yards, using 40 rounds in a series of five to 12 second increments.

“Marines may be more stressed out with the shortened time constraints and having to draw their pistols from their holster before shooting,” Thornhill said. “Despite those restrictions the target is more forgiving. The size of the 10 point section of the target is much larger in the new target, meaning shooters will most likely see improvements in their scores.

The increased size of the target and scor-ing potential was made to direct Marines toward making more fatal shots.”

Although the course of fire is chang-ing, the scoring system and the marks-manship badges will remain the same.

“Shooting on the new course of fire was more enjoyable and led me to shoot better by increasing my score by nearly 40 points,” said Gunnery Sgt. Ulysses Lloyd, a drill instructor for 2nd Battalion, Golf Company aboard MCRD Parris Is-land. “The new program led me to make deadlier shots that would ultimately make me even more effective in combat.”

money for Breast Cancer awareness. “My boss, Harriet Fisher, out of the kindness of her heart,

is going to donate a dollar for breast cancer awareness for everyone who attempts to rescue Rosie,” said Terry. “The obstacle ‘Rescue Rosi’ is about 150 lbs. of dead weight that you have to carry five yards, turn around, bring her back, and set her on her bench.”

The Warrior Challenge includes elements of the Marine Corps’ combat fitness test, TRX suspension training and High Intensity Tactical Training like ammo can lifts, low crawls and inverted rows.

“The experience was pretty tough,” said Staff Sgt. Latoya Carty, a Marine Corps Recruit Depot Support Battalion drill instructor. “Rescue Rosie weighs about 150 lbs., flipping the tire was even harder, and the sledgehammers were challenging as well.”

Competitors were all timed, although many ran for the challenge, fun or simply to support breast cancer aware-ness.

“It was worth the challenge,” Carty said. “I think I did well, but I could do better. I’ll do it again next year, definitely.”

The Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Explosive Ordinance Disposal team hosted a joint training simulation with the Beaufort County Bomb Squad and members of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division aboard the Air Station, Oct. 8.

The purpose of the training was to ensure all teams could integrate seam-lessly when more than one team is needed for an operation and to increase readiness for all involved.

“It’s very effective training,” said Chief Warrant Officer Jesse McGinnis, Air Station EOD officer-in-charge. “Everybody has a slightly different way of do-ing business. A lot of things are the same, but this training allows us to see how our adjacent bomb squads operate and lets them see how we operate. It greatly enhances safety for everybody.”

The agencies train constantly, but opportunities for all three to train to-gether only happens bi-annually. The training event had high risk situations involving multiple devices and took more than 24 hours to neutralize. The team’s learned what each other’s capabilities are because the training al-lowed them to pool their resources and draw upon all of their combined experience.

“This training makes a difference for us because we won’t be going in blind,” said Capt. Scott Johnson, Beaufort County tactical operations commander.

“We now know how we all operate,” he said. “So we can respond to a call and be way ahead of the game because we know the resources, equipment, and the people. That is important to us because these operations are time consuming and rely heavily on equipment. You don’t just deal with it in an hour, pack up and leave. So this is a good training day.”

The training also pushed the technicians to their limit because of how real-istic it was. Each of the devices had different trigger systems that had to be discovered in order to safely disarm the device.

Dave Keener, owner of Keen Tech LLC, travels the country training EOD team and bomb squad technicians in basic electronics, trigger circuits, ad-vanced electronics, and alarm bypassing techniques for covert operations.

“I have full faith and confidence in them,” Keener said. “They have an in-credible set of skills, but they are perishable skills. If you don’t use it, you lose it.”

Even with the sophisticated motion detectors, trip wires, alarm systems and other triggers, the teams continually planned and consulted with each other to decide on the best plan of action. Each team had a different array of robots, and other long range gear that allowed them to find, inspect, and safely neutralize each device without putting any lives in danger.

“I have never seen a group of technicians be so methodical and take their time,” Keener said. “A lot of people just attack a problem like ants, approach-ing from all angles. They are doing reconnaissance work, stepping back, sharing information with the other agencies involved in the exercise and coming up with a logical plan of attack instead of going in like gang busters and hoping for the best.”

Each team took different responsibilities from long and close reconnais-sance, interrogation of suspects, planning, and neutralization to effectively complete the training.

“It’s important for all agencies regardless of your discipline to continually operate together to build situational awareness and unit cohesion before bad things happen,” McGinnis said.

When the call comes that requires any or all of the agencies to work to-gether and neutralize a threat, the leg-work of learning how they can work together or what skills each team has will not be a problem. Such an edge prepares the teams for mission success when it matters most.

Marines from units aboard Ma-rine Corps Air Station Beaufort gathered at Battery Creek High School to help out with various duties during a drill meet, Oct. 12.

Prior to the start of the event, the Marines were assigned their duties. They could volunteer to be a cook, be a runner for one of the various graded portions of the drill meet or serve at the concession stand.

For the final event, several hand-picked Marines were given the opportunity to watch the students during the drill elimina-tion. If a student missed a beat on a drill movement or did not

maintain their bearing, one of the Marines would tell him or her to leave the formation.

Once the drill meet drew to a conclusion, instead of leaving right away to get back to their weekend, the Marines stayed at Battery Creek a little longer in or-der to help tear down the event

“It is important for our active duty personnel to volunteer at these kind of events because it shows the public that we care about who is going to be the fu-ture of our Corps,” said Sgt. Maj. Leveta Smith, the Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron sergeant major. “It also shows that it is very important to us as Marines to give back to the com-munity.”

“A drill meet helps build a pic-

ture of what we are trying to get across to the students,” said Dwayne Farr, retired sergeant major and Marine instructor for the Whale Branch High School JROTC.

“We have an objective to build their courage and their confi-dence in what they are going to do in life,” said Farr. “Life is all about competition, and this event allows them to find out how you perform and it can be graded.

“We had 10 different high schools out here and we wanted them to feel inspired to be com-petitive.”

No matter how many schools were present, everybody comes out a winner, said Sgt. Maj. How-ard Reeves, a Marine Instructor

for Battery Creek High School Marine Corps JROTC.

Since becoming a JROTC in-structor, Reeves said he has no-ticed that most of the students who want to join the program, want to be more than the aver-age student.

“The program seems to attract the students that want a little more of a challenge in their life,” said Reeves. “The challenge that we give them is learning disci-pline and how to be a better stu-dent and a better citizen.”

Part of the challenge for stu-dents is learning to challenge themselves to improve.

“I just wanted us to come out here and do our best, not to try to do better than anybody else but better than ourselves,” said

Cadet Lt. Col. Wendell Robert-son, a senior of Battery Creek High School and cadet com-manding officer of Battery Creek MCJROTC.

Like the Marine Corps, MCJROTC teaches students mul-tiple leadership traits.

“I’ve learned integrity, disci-pline and how to lead others by example,” Robertson said. “I plan on using what I have learned to be able to be the one that can step out and lead others. While there will be times that I have to follow, that isn’t going to stop me from leading others if I have the chance.”

At end of the drill competi-tion, it was the Nation Ford High School MCJROTC that came out on top of everyone else.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- Nothing prepares Marines for de-ployment like being in the field. Sleeping under the stars, eating MREs and always carrying a rifle gives Marines a realistic ex-pectation of life overseas. Going to the field may not be the most enjoyable experience, but it teaches Marines how to survive in dif-ficult conditions.

First Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division conducted a battalion level field exercise Sept. 28 – Oct. 9. This was the first battalion level exercise for 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines since they deployed with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit in December 2012.

“The focus of the exercise was to train and evaluate our small unit leaders on the core mission essential tasks of offense, defense, and military operations in urban terrain,” said 1st Lt. Matthew Anater, the adjutant for 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines. “We also looked to execute command and con-trol at the battalion level, and in doing so, develop a battle rhythm that will replicate what we believe the battalion will utilize by the battalion during deployment.”

MOUT provides a plethora of basically constructed buildings and small villages for training purposes. Marines get a sense of uncertainty patrolling around the unfa-miliar towns, which keeps them on their toes.

The Marines participated in various exer-cises, including live-fire exercises and dif-ferent patrols.

“We did a lot of security patrols around the different (simulated buildings),” said Lance Cpl. William Long, an infantryman with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines. “It helps us prepare for real situations when we deploy.”

By the end of the field exercise, the bat-talion was more confident in their quick de-cision making by the small unit leadership to make the correct calls under pressure.

“The cold weather and rain allowed us to evaluate the physical and mental tough-ness of our Marines,” Anater said. “If it ain’t raining, we ain’t training.”

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C. -- Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fight-ing Marines participated simulated in ship-board aircraft firefighting training here Oct. 3 to ensure they are prepared to handle worst-case scenarios that may arise while deployed at sea.

Realism for this training is provided by the Mobile Aircraft Firefighting Training Device.

The MAFTD is an aircraft fuselage with wings, a tail section and three engines. The device can simulate wheel, cockpit and engine fires. The fire and smoke is fed by a propane hose and ignited by electrical con-nections running from the operating unit.

The training provides Marines with mul-tiple training scenarios including live inter-nal and external fires, and search and res-cue training opportunities.

During the training, the Marines also worked on their firefighter dispatcher skills and learned how to apply firefighting strat-egies and procedures for the attack, control and extinguishment of fires.

“There is the basic fire they will fight and as they get more advanced, the Marines will go through an overhaul process,” said Petty Officer First Class Charles R. Ellis Jr., an instructor with the Naval Air Technical Training Center in Pensacola, Fla.

The Marines respond to different types of fires with different tools and tactics, he said. The more variables that are included in the equation, the more advanced the tactics need to be to ensure success. Shipboard aircraft fires could be loaded with variables like injured or trapped personnel or inter-nal and external fires.

“The process includes shutting down the aircraft, fighting external and internal fires and rescuing people,” Said Ellis.

Rowe said ensuring the Marines are con-tinuously training and learning is crucial to their ability to perform when others are counting on their skills.

“It’s literally a life or death matter,” said Rowe. “In most cases we don’t get a second chance to do the job over and that’s why the training is essential.”

MOUT training highlights urban warfighting

Cpl. Matthew CallahanMarine Corps Base Hawaii

MARINE CORPS TRAINING AREA BELLOWS, Hawaii -- Marines with Charlie Com-pany, 1st Battalion, 3rd Ma-rine Regiment, conducted Military Operations in Urban Terrain training at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, Hawaii Sept. 30 through Oct. 3. The company utilized the Infantry Immersion Train-ing facility to sustain urban warfighting tactics and to integrate junior Marines into a kinetic 360-degree envi-ronment.

The Infantry Immersion Training facility at Bellows is one of three in the Marine Corps, boasting real-world sights, sounds and smells generated by motion sensi-tive machines around archi-tecture designed for urban warfare training.

Cameras line nearly every building corner and interior, giving a 360-degree view of the battle space to be re-viewed by commands and participating Marines in an after-action briefi ng room.

The “Lava Dogs” began the four day operation with a se-ries of attacks and seizures of MOUT Site 3, the largest collection of compounds

at MCTAB. First and second platoon attacked in sepa-rate areas of the town to gain a foothold and secure objectives being defended by third platoon. First pla-toon Marines patrolled to the northernmost point of MOUT Site 3 and cleared compounds from the north-east while second platoon Marines attacked from the southwest, each platoon seizing roughly eight com-pounds per platoon.

“Our mission was to de-fend the MOUT site and act as opposing forces,” said Lance Cpl. Daniel Serra, a Yorktown Heights, N.Y., na-tive and rifleman with third platoon, Charlie Co., 1st Bn., 3rd Marines. “Through spo-radic fire and hit-and-run tactics, we’re trying to dis-orient (first and second pla-toon) and give them a no-win situation.”

The opposing forces Ma-rines split into three squads of six personnel to cover various areas of the training facility, barricading points of entry and planting booby traps on doors.

Marines conducting the attack worked together to enhance skills on an individ-ual basis, honing communi-cation and moving fluidly

through the hostile terrain.“It’s all about making sure

each Marine can act and think on his own,” said Lance Cpl. Thomas Oldenburg, a squad leader with second platoon, Charlie Co., 1st Bn., 3rd Marines and Prior Lake, Minn., native. “Every Marine needs to be able to step into a room, assess threats and clear every corner.”

Reliance on autonomy is vital in gaining momentum in an urban environment to establish a foothold as fast as possible and keep pres-sure up on an enemy, ac-cording to Oldenburg.

During the exercise, Ma-rines used the Instrumented-Tactical Engagement Simu-lation System. They donned man-worn detection sys-tems, a series of sensors that represented various parts of the human body. Using blank 5.56 mm ammunition, Marines attached small arms laser transmitters to the muzzles of their personal weapons to engage each other in the force-on-force scenario. The system, used in conjunction with blank fire, accurately pinpointed shots to the body, provid-ing further scenario realism when combatants on either side are wounded or killed.

During the exercise, Char-lie Co. employed a fire sup-port team to provide fire missions incorporating sim-ulated artillery, 81 mm and 60 mm mortar fire missions, engaging enemy positions with indirect fire capabilities in support of the platoon attacks, according to 1st Lt. Francisco Garza, executive officer, Charlie Co., 1st Bn, 3rd Marines and Houston native.

“MOUT’s role for the in-fantryman is to take the basic skill set of attack and defense and apply it to the most difficult terrain,” Garza said. “It’s a three-dimension-al battle space where en-emy can be above, in front, below or behind you. It is a very slow, violent and dead-ly (process), making MOUT crucial to the success of the Marine Corps on the modern battlefield.

“This being Charlie com-pany’s first MOUT focused field operation, there was improvement across the board on all skills relating,” he added. “In particular, the company was able to de-velop its standard operating procedure for communica-tion and marking of build-ings, which is crucial in such a complex environment.”

MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho -- Seventeen Marines with the 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company be-gan conducting joint tactical air control party maneuvers, Oct. 2, at the Saylor Creek Range during day two of exercise Mountain Roundup 2013.

The 1st ANGLICO team members called in air support during the exercise to re-qualify JTACs and to maintain pro-ficiency in their ability to provide close-air support, while training with another major coalition partner nation – Ger-many.

“We are out here supporting the Ger-man Air Force by not only conduct-ing terminal control of aircraft when close-air support is necessary, but also through exchange of CAS employment techniques, tactics, and procedures with our German allies,” said Marine Capt. Charles Watt, 1st ANGLICO Supporting Arms Liaison Team officer-in-charge.

Mountain Roundup is part of GAF Tor-nado Fighter Weapons Instructor Course Mission Employment Phase, where ev-eryone involved works to provide profi-cient integrated combined joint forces.

The ANGLICO Marines made the deci-sion to live at the range complex in or-der to provide the most realistic training possible.

“Our leadership made the decision to have us stay out here for a total-concept training environment,” said Marine Lance Cpl. Jordie Inoke, 1st ANGLICO SALT ra-dio operator. “It’s cold, but the training opportunities we get from the exercise make it worth being less comfortable.”

The range complex is comprised of 7,400 square miles of associated airspace and 122,000 acres of land space used for two air-to-ground training ranges, five no-drop target complexes and 30 multi-size electronic combat sites.

Simultaneously, the headquarters unit is tracking each team’s battle move-ments to ensure final attack headings and the location of friendly forces on the ground is made known to aircraft.”

“In a real-world scenario, like Afghani-stan, our unit enhances the capabilities of the battlefield commander,” said Watt. “Mountain Roundup is an excellent op-portunity for our SALT to continue its training in preparation for upcoming deployments.

Lance Cpl. Sullivan Laramie2nd Marine Logistics Group

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- Ma-rines with 2nd Marine Logistics Group traded two weeks of their regular schedule for train-ing to help them better protect their fellow service members in a deployed environment here.

The machine gunner course at the Battle Skills Training School taught the service members everything they needed to know about the M240B medium machine gun, MK19 grenade launcher and M2 Browning .50-caliber ma-chine gun, and culminated in a live-fire exercise Oct. 4.

“The materials we teach al-low non-infantry Marines to deploy overseas, able to effec-tively employ these weapon systems as situations present themselves,” said Sgt. Jeffery J. Gause, a machine gunner with BSTS. “[Service members] come to our course, we teach them and they’ll be able to go back to their shops and teach their peers what they’ve learned.”

The course was not meant to train the Marines to become in-structors, but it did give them the knowledge to help their units maintain mission readi-ness for future deployments.

“Not a lot of Marines [in 2nd

MLG] get to experience what we experienced,” said Pfc. Sha-von C. Smith, an ammunition technician with 2nd Supply Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 25, 2nd MLG. “Even though we’re not grunts we get to have a taste of that life. We won’t be fumbling with the weapons on a deployment – we’re more experienced now.”

The course provided the Marines with hours of class-room instruction and practi-cal, hands-on training with the weapons, including timed dis-assembly and reassembly and a written test on each weap-on’s characteristics.

This was the first class to

run the endurance course, a 3.4-mile trail with obstacles, over which the Marines had to move the weapon systems.

The final portion of the train-ing was a live-fire exercise with M240Bs and M2s, and tested not only the students’ abilities to set up the weapons, but [their ability] to hit their tar-gets, as well.

“It’s a good course,” said Cpl. Sean M. Stecher, a heavy equipment mechanic with 2nd Maint. Bn., CLR-25. “A lot of Marines joined wanting to shoot guns, and [the course] allowed us to do that, but we also learned a lot about the weapons.”

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION NEW RIVER, N.C. -- Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 264 partnered with Marines from 2nd Force Reconnaissance Battalion to conduct parachute operations, Sept. 26.

The purpose of parachute operations train-ing is the successful delivery of Marines to their designated landing zone.

After lifting off the flight line, the Osprey headed toward Marine Corps Auxiliary Land-ing Field Bogue to pick up the Recon Marines who would be jumping.

With the Recon Marines securely aboard the Osprey, the pilots climbed to more than 5,000 feet so the Marines could safely con-duct their training.

The pilots, crew chiefs and jump master had to be the top of their game because the weather was not ideal for the training.

After circling the targeted landing zone to adjust for weather and wind conditions, the Recon Marines were given the green light to jump.

“During this part of the exercise the crew chiefs have a very important job,” said Cpl. Anthony Kite, VMM-264 crew chief. “We have to relay messages between the jump masters and pilots and give the thumbs up or down for the jump depending on conditions.”

The Marines jumped one after another and in a matter of seconds they had all success-fully jumped and deployed their parachutes, leaving only the jump master and crew chiefs remaining in the back of the aircraft.

The aircraft then descended back to the pick-up area, where another load of Marines were ushered aboard to conduct the training. This process was repeated until all the Ma-rines received the required training.

“The weather did not completely cooper-ate with us during the training,” said Kite. “But like Marines do, we adapted and overcame and completed the operation successfully and without incident.”

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii --Machine gunners from each company

of 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, spent two weeks together for crew served weapons training and conduct-ed a final live-fire event at Schofield Barracks, Oct. 8 through 10.

First Lt. Joseph Krawczyk, the heavy machine guns platoon commander, Weapons Co., 1st Bn., 3rd Marines, said the purpose of the training is to validate the Marines’ knowledge of weapons systems.

“They conducted disassembly, as-sembly and gun drills and, their classes covered information like employment of optics,” Krawczyk said, a native of Trenton, Mich. “This sustainment train-ing allows them to keep up on all our weapons systems, since heavy machine guns (don’t always have the opportu-nity) to shoot the (M240B Medium Ma-chine Gun).”

The Marines fired throughout the day, employing the M240B and .50 caliber M2 Browning heavy machine gun, en-gaging targets up to 500 yards away.

Lance Cpl. Collin Evans, a machine gunner with Bravo Co., 1st Bn., 3rd Ma-

rines and native of Westchester, Penn., said he recently returned from machine gun leaders course and applied what he learned during training.

“For some of the guys here, it’s their first weapons training event,” Evans said. “So us coming together means teaching the new guys and knocking some rust off. During classes we got one on one, hands on training from the instructors, and it was good to catch up on skills.”

Evans explained that what they learned during the course is applied in the field, like maintaining proper shoul-der pressure while firing.

“Actually sending rounds down range shows their abilities,” Evans said.

“There’s been a good balance of se-nior and junior Marines during this training, which means we are able to pull them aside and help them improve their skills.”

Krawczyk said the Army was help-ful and welcomed the Marines to the range.

“They have been awesome letting us on their range,” Krawczyk said. “They were supposed to be shooting as well, but they let us conduct training first and helped us by running the tower and with planning and execution.”

In between shooting, the Marines sought refuge from the Hawaiian sun by relaxing under camouflage netting and refueled with food and water.

Lance Cpl. Hunter Pepper, a machine gunner with Weapons Co., 1st Bn., 3rd Marines, described how training with all the machine gunners benefits par-ticipants.

“We are able to learn from each oth-er’s mistakes,” Pepper said. “Learning to-gether like this means each of us bring different things to the table.”

most advanced naval service. “It follows then, as certain as that

night succeeds the day, that with-out a decisive naval force we can do nothing definitive, and with it, everything honorable and glorious,” said President George Washington.

During the American Civil War, the Union had an advantage over the Confederacy on the seas. A Union blockade on all major ports shut down exports and the coastal trade. During the Battle of Hampton Roads, ironclad warships were used

by the Union in combat for the first time.

In the 1880’s, the first steel hulled warships stimulated the Ameri-can steel industry and made the “steel American Navy”. These ships brought the U.S. in line with coun-tries such as Britain and Germany. In 1907, most of the Navy’s battleships and support vessels, dubbed the Great White Fleet, were showcased in a 14-month trip around the world to demonstrate the Navy’s capabil-ity to the world.

The Navy grew into a formidable force in the years leading up to World War II, with battleship pro-duction being restarted in 1937.

Though ultimately unsuccessful, Japan attempted to neutralize this strategic threat with the 1941 sur-prise attack on Pearl Harbor. Follow-ing American entry into the war, the Navy grew tremendously as the U.S. was faced with a two-front war.

“We shall never forget that it was our submarines that held the lines against the enemy while our fleets replaced losses and repaired wounds,” said Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the commander in chief of Pacific Forces for the U.S. during World War 2.

During World War II, the Navy par-ticipated in many significant battles including the Battle of Midway, the

Battle of the Philippine Sea, and the Battle of Okinawa. By the end of World War II the Navy had added hundreds of new ships, including 18 aircraft carriers and eight battle-ships.

In the years leading up to the Cold War, the potential for armed conflict with the Soviet Union pushed the Navy to continue its technological advancement by developing new weapon systems, ships, and aircraft.

Since the end of the Cold War, the Navy shifted its focus from prepara-tions for large-scale war to special operations and strike missions. In recent years, the Navy participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Op-

eration Enduring Freedom, and the War on Terror. The most no-table mission of carried out by the Navy during this time is the assas-sination of Osama Bin Laden, the founder and leader of al-Qaeda, by Navy SEALs of SEAL Team Six, May 2, 2011.

The Navy has come a long way in 238 years, from starting with two vessels in 1775 to becoming the world’s best naval service. Through-out the years the Navy has devel-oped through crucial periods of American history up until this point, developing a rich history that will be passed down to future sailors for years to come.

caused by the fire, prevention is taught every October to help avoid another similar fire in the future

“This year’s theme is preventing kitchen fires,” said Joseph Otterbine, lead fire inspector for Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Fire and Emergency Services. “Believe it or not, it’s one of the main causes of residential house fires in the United States.”

Students at Laurel Bay schools learned about kitchen rules, how to avoid burns, and what to do if they get burned. Teach-ing kids reaches a bit further when they bring home what they learn to their parents.

“[National Fire Prevention Week is] to educate everybody, not just children, on all levels of fire prevention,” said Otter-bine. “It’s all about education, prevention and preparation.”

In 2011, cooking was involved in an estimated 156,300 house fires causing 470 deaths. From 2006 to 2010, about 2,920 fires involving kitchen equipment caused in an annual average of $75 million in direct property damage, according to the National Fire Prevention Association website.

“The number one cause of kitchen fires is unattended cook-ing,” said Otterbine. “People walk away from the stove leaving something cooking, get distracted and forget, and it’s caught fire.”

Some key prevention tips are to never leave cooking un-attended, keep paper products, clothing and kitchen towels away from the stove and oven, and don’t store combustibles or flammables over the stove.

“You’d be surprised what people store in that cabinet above the stove. Some people use it as a liquor cabinet, or they store shortening, oils and grease. So what happens when a fire goes up? Now, that’s fuel to add to the fire,” said Otterbine.

If there are children in the kitchen area, extra safety rules apply. Keep them three feet away from the stove, turn pot handles in, and children using hot objects and microwaves should be supervised. Any hot items a child is handling should be at or below their eye level.

“Teach these children so that they understand how fire safety works and the importance of following the rules,” said Otterbine. “If for any reason you have any questions, come by the fire station and ask the firemen. We’re here to help pre-vent fires.”

SAFETYcontinued from page 1

Fire fighter, Bobby Clark, led the charge.

“This is what I look when I have all my gear on,” Clark explained to the children. “It’s important you know what we look like now, so that you aren’t afraid when you see us trying to save you in a fire.”

Clark was soon bombarded by eager, little hands excited to be-come familiar with the gear he wore.

Joseph Otterbine, Air Station

Fire Department lead fire inspec-tor, said the overall mission of the visit is to raise awareness of fire safety.

“Children are like sponges,” Otterbine said. “When they go home, they’re going to spread the information to their parents and hopefully get everyone ex-cited in their home about fire safety.

The fire department has par-ticipated in several fire safety awareness events throughout the week. Anyone can visit the department for more informa-tion.

To prepare service members for a successful transition to the civilian workforce, the Depart-ment of Defense has implement-ed the Capstone Program. The addition to Transition Readiness Services has been implemented by the Marine Corps in Marine administrative message 514/13, which took effect, Oct. 1.

"The Capstone program en-sures transitioning Marines are prepared to leave the military ranks by having them complete an Individual Transition Plan Checklist," said Rickey Johnson, the program manager for the Career Resource Management Center aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. "The ITPC is a list that records which courses, requirements and tasks a Marine completed which prepared them to transition out of military ser-vice."

After completing the checklist, the Capstone Program requires the commanding officer or their designee to meet with the Ma-rine to make sure they've met their Career Readiness Standards and have a plan for when they re-turn to the civilian world. All ac-tive duty transitioning Marines must complete the capstone no later than 90 days before their end of active service date.

“The Marine Corps has a saying, ‘We make Marines. We win our nation's battles and we develop quality citizens,’” Johnson said. “By implementing the Capstone Program the Corps is affirming the final piece of that saying by making sure the Marines are ready to reintegrate themselves back into the civilian world.”

Briefs regarding Capstone and other TRS updates will be an-nounced during TRS courses in the coming months. Senior lead-ers and commands will also be passing the information.

For more information, contact the Career Resource Manage-ment Center at 228-7701.
