From the Helm Tim Hutchison- Commandant 2014 HIB Marine of the Year

2014 Pound Devil Dog of the Year Hiram I. Bearss Det. #089

Greetings and Salutations to all who read my first posting as Commandant in the Scuttlebutt. As your new Commandant, thank you for placing your trust and confidence in my abilities. The success of this position will take everyones support. My staff and I are here for you.

I want to personally thank Gary Nasby for the great job he did as Commandant. He has taken this detachment to the next level. Gary will be relied upon to provide mentorship to me and the staff. Our goals as a detachment are simple and parallel one of the purpos-es of the Marine Corps League: to perpetuate the traditions and spirit of the U S Marine Corps through the continuous association of Marines, who have proudly worn the Eagle, Globe and Anchor in times of peace and war. I personally invite all detachment members to attend our monthly meetings. We have a great meal, which starts at 6pm and then move right into our meeting at 7pm. Our goal is to keep the meeting to 1 hour. The monthly meeting is where you keep up to date on detach-ment events, socialize with fellow Marines and provide valuable input on numerous business decisions. My hope for the detachment in the coming year, is to improve our meeting attendance and member involvement in all that we do. Re-member, this is YOUR detachment. My staff and I want to hear YOUR thoughts on the future of OUR detachment. Without your presence and voice, new ideas will remain silent. Finally, I am here for you. You can contact me several ways, which are listed below and throughout the Scuttlebutt. Stay active in OUR detachment, just like you were when on active duty.

Once a Marine, always a Marine!!! Semper Fi!! Tim Hutchison (317) 752-0652 (CELL) EMAIL: timhut@aol.com

2015 Detachment Officers

______________________________ A Marine is a Marine. I set that policy two weeks ago - there's no such thing as a former Marine. You're a Ma-rine, just in a different uniform and you're in a different phase of your life. But you'll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quan-tico. There's no such thing as a former Marine. General James F. Amos, 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps ______________________________

If you know of someone sick, recovering from surgery or illness, or in distress please notify me so a card from the members of the Detachment can be sent to them, or a phone call made to check up on them.
