Throughout the Marine Corps, the bulk of combat operations are conducted at a noncommissioned officer level and below.

Within 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, an unexpected involvement has become a tradition between the two senior enlisted leaders in the battalion. The battalion sergeant major and master gunnery sergeant have made it a practice to develop a presence on the front lines with junior enlisted Marines across the 2nd Bn., 6th Marines battlespace.

“The best way to understand what the Marines are going through, is get out there and do it with them,” said Master Gunnery Sgt. John E. Trotta, the 2nd Bn., 6th Marines operations chief. “The

Marines have to know the guys who make decisions know what they’re going through.”

Together, Trotta and Sgt. Maj. Wil-liam R. Frye, the 2nd Bn., 6th Marines sergeant major, patrol monthly and some-times weekly with their Marines through-out Helmand province’s Nawa District. These visits allow them to gain hands on experience at the battalion’s smaller posi-tions, boosting the morale of the young Marines they visit in the process.

The role of a battalion sergeant ma-jor is to maintain morale and good order and discipline, while an operations chief is focused on organizing and running the operational and tactical side of the bat-talion. Frye and Trotta believe the two of them combined make the perfect team to drive the battalion’s success.

“When master guns (Trotta) arrived at the battalion, we got together and dis-cussed the importance of our relation-ship,” said Frye. “We feel that going out-side the wire and patrolling is important because the Marines see that we’re out there… that we see what they’re experi-encing everyday.”

With the two E-9’s working together in both the office and field environment, they felt the nickname of “Team E-18” best symbolizes the working relationship of the battalion’s two senior enlisted leaders.

“We’re the senior leadership in the battalion, when we go out the combined effort is E-18,” said Trotta. “You don’t see senior enlisted leadership going out together like this too often, it’s something we enjoy doing and combined we get a good perspective on the battalion.”

The Marine Corps got its first chance in De-cember 2010 to test the M-27 Infantry Auto-matic Rifle developed by the Heckler & Koch firearm company. Marines with the 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Ma-rine Division, recently got their first chance to try out the newest weapon chosen to join the arsenal of the Marine infantry units.

The M-27 IAR is being phased in to re-place the M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon, to the initial disappointment of several gun-ners whose choice weapon has long been their trusted SAW they had deployed with and fought with in combat.

“When some of the guys first heard that the IAR would be replacing the SAW they were pretty upset about it,” said Cpl. Bryan Brock, an armorer with Company E, 2nd LAR Bn. “We spent a few days learning about the weapon and its features and they were unhap-py with the new weapon the whole way. Then we got to come out to the range and now I have SAW gunners who say they’ll never go back.”

Anyone who’s had the opportunity to fire both weapons would immediately understand why Marines who had served on several de-ployments while carrying the SAW into com-bat would instantly favor an IAR they had just picked up for the first time. Despite be-ing only magazine fed with a 30-round limit, as opposed to the M-249’s belt fed mechan-ics allowing for hundreds of seamlessly fired rounds, the benefits of the M-27 far outweigh the comparable disadvantages.

“The IAR is basically all of the best parts of the SAW and a ton of other things put into a compact rifle body,” said Brock. “Like the name implies, it’s an automatic weapon but it isn’t limited to being fired only when in the prone position or when mounted on a vehicle. That on its own is a huge achievement, since not all of the patrols we do are in vehicles. This gives the squads on the ground the fire-power they need without sacrificing mobility or adaptability.”

Many of the IAR’s key features are cen-tered around providing infantry units a pow-erful and reliable weapon without hindering their effectiveness. In addition to having a lighter body than the SAW, every part of the

IAR has holes for draining water in case in the confusion of combat the rifle gets sub-merged, it will remain functional.

The inside of the barrel also has a chrome lining to prevent the weapon from getting dangerously hot. If a SAW’s barrel got too hot, the gunner ran the risk of having a cook off, a term used to describe when rounds ig-nite without the trigger being pulled. The IAR was tested to fire more than 200 rounds in a single minute without the overheating effect. This means that the extra barrels once carried by an assistant gunner for the SAW don’t ap-ply to the IAR’s one-barrel only design. The assistant gunner, now, is no longer weighed down and can provide more utility to the squad.

“With this weapon, at the fire-team level, all my guys can move in the same way,” said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Nathan Aucoin, the battalion gunner. “With this weapon, squads can easily transition terrain from a desert road, to woods, to the middle of an urban community, all without having to slow down or sacrifice firepower, such as inside

Since arrival, Marines of W e a p o n s C o m p a n y, 1st Battalion,

8th Marine Regiment, have assisted Afghan forces in taking control of security operations here and maintaining positive relations with the local civilians.

The Marines began a patrol, April 14, travelling in a convoy of armored vehicles from forward op-erating base Whitehouse to Patrol Base Virginia, a nearby post once estab-lished as a Marine posi-tion, but now transitioned to the Afghan National Civil Order Police who are currently responsible for security operations in the area.

“Most of the patrol bases were initially es-tablished by Marines as partnered positions,” said 1st Lt. Kevin J. Fitzsimmons, a platoon commander with Weap-ons Company. “Now Marines are consolidat-ing combat power into

certain areas and tran-sitioning other areas to ANCOP control.”

During this outing, to facilitate interaction with the local populace, the Marines held a shura in PB Virgina then journeyed on a patrol through, and surrounding, the village outside PB Virgina.

A shura is an open-forum gathering open to all villagers where those who attend can voice their concerns and talk to the Marines and ANCOP officers.

“It lets the people know the Marines are still here to protect citizens and help them out,” said Sgt. Hi-ram B. Ruiz, with Weap-ons Company who led the patrol. “We let them know that we care and they aren’t alone out here.”

The Marine and AN-COP leaders garnered positive results from the shura with local citizens.

“Today’s shura was ab-solutely productive,” said Fitzsimmons. “We got in-formation we didn’t have previously, and the local (citizens) and ANCOP were able to work out some of their concerns.”

After the shura, the Ma-

rines left the patrol base on foot, patrolling some of the areas the locals had voiced concerns about.

Along the patrol, the Marines came to a ve-hicle that was traveling a strange route on back roads. The Marines ap-proached the vehicle to question the driver on his route. He told the Ma-rines he was headed to a cemetery to bury his fa-ther who was killed by an insurgent suicide bomb-er. Fitzsimmons gave his condolences and the Ma-rines allowed the vehicle to pass.

The Marines searched several more vehicles along the way, looking for signs of insurgent activity.

Ruiz said the Marines were checking to make sure no bomb-making ma-terials, weapons, or explo-sives were being smuggled into or out of the area.

After walking through several miles of hills and streams, the Marines fi-nally arrived at their home base, FOB Whitehouse.

“The patrol went well,” Fitzsimmons said. “The Marines are mission ori-ented and focused. Every-body did great today.”

Last Friday, President Obama signed an executive order designed to help troops make better decisions about their college education. If you watched any televised news over the past week, you already know this. But what does the executive order really do, and what is the problem being addressed?

In a New York Times opinion piece September 21, 2011, Holly Petraeus, head of the Consumer Finance Pro-tection Bureau Office of Service mem-ber Affairs, declared that troops were “under siege from for-profit colleges,” some of whom used “aggressive and often misleading” sales pitches, view-ing troops as “nothing more than dollar signs in uniform.” In a statement issued last Thursday, Mrs. Petraeus returned to this theme, citing slick sales pitches and poor post graduation employment history. She also cited specific instances in which for-profit schools pretended they were affiliated or endorsed by the military, or provided no access to prom-ised on-line courses. In one case, a vet-eran related that she spent all her mili-tary education benefits and incurred an additional $100,000 debt to get a bachelor’s and master’s degree from a for-profit college, only to find that no employer was interested.

At the signing ceremony at Fort Stewart, Ga. and in a White House Press release, the President also allud-ed to abuses, including an instance at Camp Lejeune in which a for- profit institution solicited a service member with severe brain injury. The Presi-dent also referred to fraudulent on-line advertisements which pretend to be government sites or which sug-gest that military educational benefits

are only available at a small group of schools. An analysis of Veteran’s Administration data last year by the Senate Committee on Health, Edu-cation, Labor, and Pension last year concluded that for-profit schools cost far more than public institutions and that eight of the top ten recipients of post 911 G.I. Bill funds are for-prof-its, some with drop-out rates as high as 68 percent.

For a variety of reasons, for-profit educational institutions target troops. Many of our young service members want to further their education either to advance their military career or to facilitate productive post military em-ployment. Service members are mo-bile and therefore desirous of distance learning that some of these schools pitch. And, most attractive to the for-profits, service members have access to military tuition benefits. Further-more, as the Higher Education Act is currently written, for-profits are required to obtain at least 10% of their revenue for non-federal sources; i.e., paying customers, as a means of helping to ensure quality. However, through a quirk in the law, military tu-ition assistance from the G.I. Bill- un-like Pell Grants, Perkins Loans, and several other financial aid programs- is not counted as non-federal funds. Thus, for every dollar gained from G.I. benefits, the for-profit school is authorized to receive nine dollars in Title IV grants or loans. The Senate is considering legislation to close this loophole.

The executive order will require some 2,000 schools participating in the military tuition assistance pro-

gram to provide prospective students with information contained in the “Know Before You Owe” form devel-oped by the CFPB. The form clearly lays out costs, eligibility for Federal grants or loans, estimated monthly payments, and estimated student loan debt at the time of graduation. The form also provides a cost comparison between the charges assessed against the individual student applicant and (a) the average cost of 4 year public schools, (b) the average cost of 4 year private schools, and (c) the average cost to other students attending the same school. In addition, the institu-tion must post their student loan de-fault and graduation rates. The form can be found at the CFPB web site: www.consumerfinance.gov.

The executive order directs the De-partment of Defense to establish base access rules for educational institu-tions, to establish a plan for collecting and disseminating better data about schools and to establish a centralized system for complaints about schools receiving military educational dollars. Recipient schools will be required to provide academic and financial coun-seling and to make it easier for stu-dents to re-enroll or receive a refund if they must leave school for service related reasons. The order also di-rects the VA, CFPB, DOD, and the Department of Justice to strengthen enforcement activities to hold educa-tional institutions accountable.

Additional information concerning higher education opportunities and student financing is available at the Base Education Center, located on Stone Street aboard Camp Lejeune.

STAFF SGT. BRIAN BUCKWALTER Regimental Combat Team 6

Hurricane-force winds whip around while a 75-pound hook charged with 200,000 volts of static elec-tricity swings inches from their heads. There is no room for error.

As the largest helicop-ter in the U.S. military fleet hovers 10 feet above them, the Marine landing support specialists are responsible for a critical role on the ground. Air resupply missions quick-ly provide the lifeblood - wa-ter, food and ammo – for Marines in combat.

Most resupply missions in southwest Afghanistan are done by ground convoy. But, when time is short or Marines are in a remote lo-cation, the only option is a resupply by air.

That’s the situation Com-pany C, 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment is in as they fight in the mountains of Helmand province. The road that leads to them is likely strewn with improvised explosive devices. A ground convoy could take days.

Gunnery Sgt. Tory Kid-der, logistics chief, Regi-mental Combat Team 6, arranged an air delivery of 9,000 pounds – 4-and-a-half tons – of ammo, water, and food for Company C. A team of landing support specialists with Combat Lo-gistics Battalion 4, 1st Ma-rine Logistics Group (For-ward), prepared the load for transport.

The same team also under-took the difficult task of hook-ing the cargo to the bottom of the CH-53E Super Stallion hovering above them.

“It’s a rush,” said Lance Cpl. Troy Page, landing sup-port specialist. “Every time I get under a helo, it reminds me why I joined the Marine Corps.”

Page says in addition to the adrenaline rush from the feeling of being under a helicopter - which one Ma-rine says compares to the same feeling as being at the top of a roller coaster right before decent - he loves knowing he’s helping his fellow Marines.

Lance Cpl. Andrew Jones, a landing support spe-cialist agreed.

“It’s one of the few exciting moments when you work at the (flight line) on Delaram,” he said about helping with a HST mission. “This is the stuff they need to use to get their mission done.”

The pilots from Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 466, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) are “the best pilots I’ve ever worked with,” Jones added.

For Jones and the other Marines under the helicop-ter, having a steady-handed pilot and an experienced crew chief relaying direction to the pilot are reassuring.

Once the helicopter is overhead, the logistics Ma-rines work quickly, but cau-tiously. One wrong move, one small problem, could mean serious injury or loss of life. They grab the hook that hangs below the heli-copter with a grounded hook of their own, preventing any discharge of static electric-ity the helicopter generates. They attached the hook to the cargo sling and quickly move away from the heli-copter. For this mission, the whole process took less than two minutes.

“It was really easy,” said Lance Cpl. Heather Arm-strong, a landing support specialist. “It went very smoothly.”

Editor’s note: Regimental Combat Team 6 falls un-der 1st Marine Division (Forward), which heads Task Force Leatherneck. The task force serves as the

ground combat element of Regional Command (Southwest) and works in partnership with the Afghan National Security Force and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to con-duct counterinsurgency operations. The unit is

dedicated to securing the Afghan people, defeating insurgent forces, and en-abling ANSF assumption of security responsibilities within its area of opera-tions in order to support the expansion of stability, development and legiti-mate governance.

Under a somber sky, Marines, veterans and their fami-lies gathered to remember some of their own. They donned symbols of current and long ago wars, covering their hats,

lapels and leather motorcycle vests, and sat sur-rounded by the names of the fallen at the Viet-nam Veterans Memorial at Lejeune Memorial Gardens, April 28.

The Jon Panarese Chapter 654 of the Viet-nam Veterans of America held Vietnam Rec-ognition Day with the support of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in remembrance of the anniversary of the end of the Viet-

nam War.Some came to honor memo-

ries. To pay their respects they ran their fingers over the names on

the glass walls of the Vietnam War Memorial.

“Brotherhood brought me here,” said Raymond Byrns, a retired gunnery ser-geant. “We get together every year to recognize what’s on the wall.”

Vietnam veterans were a generation of warriors who overcame hardships

and created a powerful, active veteran identity.

“When we came home we didn’t get any recognition,” said John Warman, a

retired gunnery sergeant. “We got rocks thrown at us. They called us

baby killers, but now the public is showing respect to the old war-

riors and the new ones.”The ceremony honored

the lost Marines with sto-ries from their time on the battlefield. Some came to spend time with their fellow veterans. But for those who want to visit and connect with their fallen brothers, the me-morial is always there.

“You can come here in the middle of the night and be left alone with your thoughts,” said Byrns.

The memorial features a fountain surrounded by pil-

lars and housed in glass walls. It is neighbored memorials of other fallen Americans with a single steel beam from the World Trade Center and with a monument honoring the victims of the Beirut bombing.

Byrns said he found the playing of taps to be the most touching part of the ceremony.

“It hits right here,” said Byrns, pointing to his heart. “I have my cousin on that wall. I have three of my fellow tank-ers on that wall. It tugs at your heartstrings. It makes you remember. You see the different faces you knew.”

The ceremony included a reading of North Carolina service members who are still listed as missing in action or prisoners of war. Members of Rolling Thunder Chap-ter NC-5, a group dedicated to POW and MIA service members, took turns reading the names. Some voices boomed with pride and some strained under the weight of those left behind. City officials read proclamations, giving their support to those touched by the war and sharing their memories.

John Hare, a retired Marine who served 25 years in the Corps, said he tries to make it to all functions such as the Vietnam Recognition Day ceremony. He served three tours in Vietnam and has a plaque at the foot of the glass walls that honors fellow recon Marines and corpsman.

“If I don’t come, I let my men down,” said Hare. “It’s my duty to keep their memories alive.”

Hare remembers the hill battles of Khe Sahn in 1967. Three years later he lost an entire team to the war.

“I can’t find them because their names are all over,” said Hare. The memorial has the names organized alphabetical-ly and does not group them based on battles or units. “After 40 years, it’s hard to remember everybody’s name.”

The same year he lost the team, Hare found himself pulled out of combat prematurely when bullets pierced his shoulder and side. The Vietnam Recognition Day ceremo-ny also marked the anniversary of the day he received his purple heart.

Thirty-two years after his retirement he still comes to celebrate and honor his fellow Marines. He said he wants to encourage members of the current generation of Ma-rines to do the same and to become involved with veteran organizations.

John Matson, the director of the local chapter of VVA, shared similar sentiments.

“It will show them that they won’t be forgotten,” said Matson. “No matter where they’re from or what era, we honor those who serve whether it’s Vietnam, Korea, World War II, or the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

John Faust, a retired Marine, said events like this give young Marines a new perspective of a history that they may sometimes forget.

“If the young Marines want to know what they stand for and what legacy they’re following they need to attend one of these,” said Faust.

CPL. TOMMY BELLEGARDE2nd Marine Division

Sergeant Maj. Bryan K. Zickefoose replaced Sgt. Maj. Michael F. Jones as the 2nd Marine Division ser-geant major during the 2nd Marine Division Relief and Appointment ceremony, April 27.

Jones will now move on to Marine Forces Com-mand, after serving as the division sergeant major since March 28, 2008, while Zickefoose joins the unit from the West Coast after a recent deployment to Helmand province, Afghanistan, with 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division.

Jones said he is very proud of the division’s Marines and sailors for the way they have conducted themselves throughout the past four years.

“There are about 24,000 Marines and sailors in the 2nd Marine Division. To get out and watch them learn

and grow and develop into fighting men, fighting wom-en, and to execute the mission across the spectrum of (Marine Air-Ground Task Force) operations has prob-ably been the most exciting thing,” said Jones. “(I have) a sense of pride to see the legacy that’s coming behind us as Marines and watching them grow.”

Jones leaves the responsibilities as division sergeant major in good hands with Zickefoose, who comes from 1st Marine Regiment.

“I couldn’t be happier (about Zickefoose coming in). He is a fantastic sergeant major,” said Jones. “He’s go-ing to continue all the great things about the 2nd Marine Division – all the great things that I had a hand in, he is going to carry forward and exceed.”

Major General John A. Toolan Jr., the 2nd Marine Division commanding general, presented Jones the Le-gion of Merit during the ceremony, awarded to those who have distinguished themselves through exception-

ally meritorious conduct in the performance of out-standing service.

Zickefoose said he looks to continue the division’s outstanding leadership. He assured the Marines and sailors at the ceremony he would do everything he could to support them and keep them sharp.

“In everything I do, I will support you – guaran-teed,” said Zickefoose. “I’m here for you. I want you to remember one thing: iron sharpens iron as one man sharpens another. You keep me sharp, and I’ll definitely keep you sharp.”

Jones encourages the Marines and sailors to contin-ue upholding the legacy and reputation of 2nd Marine Division under their new enlisted leader.

“Just carry our legacy forward,” said Jones. “Under-stand people are watching; they’re listening, and the in-dividual Marine, the individual sailor is the ‘Follow Me’ division.”

of buildings where the SAW doesn’t operate as easily due to its weight and size.”

Aucoin said the IAR is bringing new meaning to the term “suppression fire” and it is such an improvement over the SAW that it’s going to completely change squad tactics.

“Before, suppression fire meant using the SAW to shoot at a general area to scare the enemy into hiding while the Marines moved into position,” said Aucoin. “The IAR takes suppression fire and makes it lethal. The IAR can hit an enemy square in the chest at 500 meters while on full auto. This weapon is going to ulti-mately shorten the firefights between Marines and the enemy. It’s going to kill people faster and it’s good for any mission. It’s sure to be something any commander is going to want.”

Nearly 500 M27 IARs have been distributed across the Corps, with a total of nearly 6,500 expected to be fully integrated into the Corps by March of 2013, says Barbara Hamby, the Marine Corps system command spokeswoman. Infantry battalions are slated to receive

84 IARs each and keep 45 SAWs while the LAR bat-talions will be replacing all of their SAWs with 72 M27s.

Along with LAR battalions, other units scheduled to receive the IAR are infantry and reconnaissance battalions along with the Schools of Infantry, Infan-try Officers Course and the Ordnance Maintenance Course where the Corps’ newest Marines will be trained to effectively use the weapon.

The company commanders who were at the range were immensely impressed with seeing the IAR’s ca-pabilities in action.

“We’re going to be deploying with these weapons very soon so we definitely wanted to get some trig-ger time at the range before we’re relying on them on deployment,” said Capt. Rollin Steele, the Company B commanding officer. “Now I can’t wait to see these Marines in action with the IAR, bringing the fight to the enemy. This weapon is going to allow us to get more guns in the fight and it will be less taxing on our gunners than the SAW is. The IAR is a great addition to the Marine Corps arsenal.”

NEVER QUIT

Marines, sailors remember caring, fearless brother in Marjah CPL. ALFRED V. LOPEZRegimental Combat Team 5

Marines and sailors with Weapons Company, 2nd Battal-ion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division formed a line in front of a battlefield cross, as-sembled in honor of Lance Cpl. Abraham Tarwoe, a dog handler and mortarman who served with Weapons Company, after the conclusion of his memorial ser-vice, April 22.

The men of Weapons Com-pany, many of whose lives were touched by Tarwoe, couldn’t hold back their tears as each of them observed a moment of silence in front of the cross.

Even Yeager, Tarwoe’s impro-vised explosive device detection dog with whom he worked since July 2011, displayed his allegiance to his handler by lying down in front of Tarwoe’s cross unprompted.

With tears of disbelief in their eyes, the warriors of Weapons Company recalled their memo-ries of Tarwoe, as a friend, as a brother, as a father and most of all, as an ideal Marine.

Tarwoe was born in Liberia. His mother and father, Famatta and Abraham Kar, used all the money they had to send their son to America, so that he could live a better life away from the civil war that plagued their country.

“Being born in Liberia, he knew suffering and the meaning of sacrifice,” said Capt. Charles E. Anklam III, the commanding of-ficer of Weapons Company. “He also knew about disproportionate service … he held no birth obliga-tion to America, in fact his citi-zenship was still being processed when he gave his life for his newly adopted country and his brothers-in-arms.”

“He knew the risks involved in service … there was no disil-lusionment in him,” said Anklam. “Tarwoe’s work ethic, loyalty and devotion to something larger than himself, transcended national lines and were what drove him to be here and to ultimately give his life for his fellow Marines.”

After graduating from West Side High School in Newark, N.J., Tar-woe enlisted in the Marine Corps, and reported to Marine Corps Re-cruit Depot at Parris Island, S.C., on June 2009. After graduating from boot camp and attending the School of Infantry East in Jack-sonville, N.C., he reported for duty to 2nd Bn., 9th Marines, and was assigned to Weapons Company in November 2009.

Tarwoe deployed with Weap-ons Company to Marjah district in 2010, and returned again in De-cember 2011. During a dismounted patrol, Tarwoe stepped on an IED and died of the wounds he received

from the blast.“Abraham has done his duty,”

said Anklam. “I know those of us who were privileged enough to have known him are forever better for it.”

Gunnery Sgt. Christopher Fish-er, a platoon sergeant with Weap-ons Company, recalled his conver-sation with Tarwoe, April 12, the day he passed away.

“First time I met Tarwoe, I couldn’t understand but half of what he said,” recalled Fisher. “He had that thick accent.”

“Although I don’t recall our first conversation, I would always re-member our last,” said Fisher. “It was short but to the point.”

“It was the morning of the 12th and we were loading the trucks,” remembers Fisher. “As I passed him, I asked, ‘Are you and that dog ready?’”

“He just looked up, with that smile of his, and said, ‘Hell yeah Gunny,’” said Fisher. “Then he continued to walk to the trucks.”

“He always had that smile,” said Fisher. “It didn’t matter whether you were correcting him or con-gratulating him, he did everything with a smile. And that’s how I’ll remember him.”

Tarwoe’s smile is a symbol of his character, which will be forever re-membered by both his senior lead-ers and junior Marines.

At first, three of Tarwoe’s fel-

low Marines, Sgt. Larry Davis and Lance Cpls. Demone Hall and Joseph Gross, a radio opera-tor, infantryman and mortarman, who served with him in Weapons Company, wore looks of grief for their fallen comrade.

As they spoke of Tarwoe, their sad demeanors faded, replaced by the smiles and laughter they once shared with him.

“He really loved sports, and he was really competitive,” said Davis.

“He also had a weird collection of favorite teams,” added Davis. “His favorite college football team was Tennessee and his favorite NFL team was the Vikings.”

“He taught me how to play some card games,” said Hall. “He was a really fierce poker player. Really fierce.”

“If he made a mistake and he got yelled at, he’d come in the next day with the same smile on his face,” said Gross. “He was fearless and confident.”

As Gross told a story from ear-lier in April, his serious tone was evidence that Tarwoe’s actions have inspired him to live his life the same way his fallen brother did.

“He loved being a dog handler,” added Gross. “I remember him say-ing how much he really wanted to be a dog handler before he was in-terviewed for it. He loved it more than he loved being a mortarman.”

A few weeks ago, a fellow Ma-

rine was injured by an IED during a mounted patrol. Without hesita-tion, and without anyone’s order, Tarwoe took the initiative to lead Yeager and search the surround-ing area for secondary IEDs, Gross said.

“He just automatically started controlling Yeager,” said Gross. “They walked about 30 meters ahead of the lead vehicle across the road and started directing Yea-ger. He didn’t think about it, it was like it was instinct.”

Gross and his fellow Marines also recalled that Tarwoe always talked about his son, and how much he was looking forward to getting home and spending time with him. It was things like this, they said, that made him a great father.

“We often talked about whose house we’re going to have a bar-becue at,” said Gross. “We talked about how we would go buy little plastic kiddy pools for our sons and let them splash around in them.”

Tarwoe is survived by his son, his wife and his parents.

His fellow Marines hope that those who live on because of him live their lives in the same fearless and confident way that Tarwoe did. Most importantly, they hope that the memories of his life as a Marine, as a son, as a brother and as a father, will live on in the hearts of those whose lives he has touched.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. 2B MAY 3, 2012

Throughout high school and col-lege, I worked at a daycare. It was my first job and upon receiving the position, I threw myself headfirst into working five afternoons a week with 12 two-year-olds.

I quickly discovered that there was more to working in a childcare facility than playing outside and handing out snacks. There’s con-stant cleaning, wiping runny noses and changing dirty diapers. There’s also the stuff nobody likes to talk about - sick kids, argumentative parents and family feuds that leak into life at preschool.

It didn’t take me long to realize that taking care of other people’s kids is much harder than it looks.

The same can be said of the sports world. For adrenaline junkies, the idea of running headlong into a new adventure is thrilling. However, I think people often forget that there is always more to a sport than what meets the eye.

Take golf for example. I’ve heard people say that golf isn’t a sport - it’s just a good walk spoiled. To be honest, I used to

be one of these people. But, after spending three days on the links, I realized there is much more ath-letic ability to golf than what meets the eye. Just like any other sport, the hand-eye coordination required is crucial to success, as is the men-tal ability to stay in the game for hours on end.

Have you ever tried to surf ? It looks easy enough - paddle, jump, stand, ride. When you actually get out in the water, though, the concept of jumping, standing and keeping your balance on a moving, floating board is more daunting than you’d think.

Much like teaching in a pre-

school, the craft of surfing requires more than just learning to stand. You have to learn to control the board, avoid sandbars, fall without injuring yourself and keep out of the way of other surfers and swim-mers. When you try to do it all at once, surfing becomes a tricky business.

What about a more mainstream sport, like football? Do you know how many plays there are in a typi-cal football game? In order to play correctly, you have to understand more than that the ball has to get to the other end of the field. You can’t just run out against the Giants and expect to score a touchdown with-out knowing and understanding the ins and outs of the game.

I’m a big fan of trying new things, but I am also a firm believer that nothing new can be accom-plished if you don’t fully appreciate the art form, rules and regulations behind it.

Go ahead, try a new sport. Just take the time to learn about it be-fore you run on the field. I promise that will make all the difference.

After a windy week, I am glad to report that we are entering a week of rel-ative calm as the weather returns to normalcy.

Fishing was great before heavy wind gusts ripped across the North Carolina coast over the weekend, dirtying waters, scattering bait and keep-ing fish at bay. However, as the weather calms and clears, fish are returning to their spring abodes and the debris that clouded the water is clearing out.

While the weather kept many fish from bit-ing, the bluefish bite has stayed constant through the spring. Big and small, there have been plenty of bluefish to go around for Crystal Coast anglers.

Local Hatteras blues eight pounds and larger have been caught, re-cently, along with the smaller traditional one to two pound bluefish. Most bluefish are being caught in the surf, ocean fishing piers and boats around the inlets and close to ar-tificial reefs 315 and 320. In addition, I have heard of bluefish being caught near the offshore Hutton and 13-Buoy reefs.

When it comes to catching bluefish, cut bait seems to be working best for most anglers, although some are seeing pleasing results with artificial bait

as well. These fish are strong swim-mers, head shak-ers and leapers, so anglers should be prepared for a fight when reeling them in.

As the weather clears, the Span-ish mackerel and grey trout have started to reappear. Anglers reported seeing grey trout around the train trestle early this week,

in the turning basin, near the Atlantic Beach Cause-way and near the No. 17 buoy outside Beaufort Inlet, where some fish in the three to five pound range have been caught. However, anglers must remember to abide by the 12 inch minimum size and only bag one fish per day.

Various areas around the inlets and the arti-ficial reefs have seen a recent increase in At-lantic bonito catches, as well as flounder being jigged from the ocean floor using bucktail-Gulp! combination baits.

Several anglers also reported that while they were jigging for flounder, they caught large black sea bass near the artifi-cial reef 320, but had to throw them back since their season is closed until June. Interestingly enough, while the floun-der are being caught without too much hassle, hook-and-line fishing is nearly nonexistent. Anglers should keep this in mind because it proves that the flounder are in season but are not biting traditional lines.

Red drum and speck-led trout have been caught near the Hay-stacks, using mud min-nows and Gulp! baits.

While water tempera-tures are in the upper 60s, the cobia bite still hasn’t taken off. This is most likely due to the fact that the menhaden bait balls that were with us much of the winter have disap-peared.

Cobia like to munch on these natural baits, so it makes sense that without them, we will not see as large a cobia population as we have in the previous seasons. However, there have been some cobia weighed in close to Cape Hatteras. We will continue to keep an eye on the cobia bite and hope they approach the Crystal Coast soon.

Even though the menhaden are missing in action, large schools of glass minnows have been swimming along the beach. Killifish are showing up near the surf and there are plenty of sand fleas in the surf for anglers to catch and use as bait.

Anglers preparing to charter the offshore waters should prepare themselves for catches of wahoo, gaffer dolphin, yellowfin and blackfin tuna. There was also a blue marlin release over the weekend. As usual, the majority of these fish are being caught between the Big Rock and Swans-boro Hole areas.

In other news, the Oceanana Pier in Atlantic Beach opened over the weekend and will con-tinue to be open during repairs and renovation efforts. Island Harbor Marina in Emerald Isle is making slow progress with their repairs. Much of the east dock has been repaired and new bulk-heading in front of the marina house and the west parking area has been installed.

As I reported earlier, the Oceanana Pier is reporting catches of blue fish and flounder. Bogue Pier has seen sizable catches of black drum, blues, Spanish mackerel, sea mullet, flounder, puffer fish and skates, recently.

The Seaview Pier has reported high numbers of bluefish, along with mullet, flounder and drum being reeled in, along with some puffers and Spanish mackerel when the water is clean and calm. Surf City also reported catches of blue-fish, sheepshead, mullet and flounder.

Anglers should be advised that the Bogue Inlet boating channel is scheduled for dredging June 16 through 27.

Finally, stay safe this season and check out boating classes from the Coast Guard Auxiliary, which will be offering a recreational boating safe-ty seminar from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., May 19. This four-hour boating safety course is designed for those not generally at the helm, and will help teach passengers the basics of steering and ma-neuvering boats in case of an emergency involving the captain. Registration is required and space is limited to first come, first served.

The Ask Dr. Bogus Fish-ing show can be heard every Monday morning at 7:30 on 107.1 FM and 1240 AM and can be ac-cessed on the Coastal Daybreak Facebook page.

CPL. MIRANDA COLEMANMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

For months now, Ma-rines from Headquarters and Support Battalion have been competing against each other in various battles to prove themselves the best in the battalion. In the April edition of the Com-mander’s Cup Challenge, five teams endured the Weapon’s Training Battal-ion stamina course, April 27, aboard Stone Bay, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

The rivals went through the two and a half mile grueling course filled with ruts, debris and overhanging trees, performing 22 different exercises and tackling 11 obstacles while trying to attain the fastest time.

Some of the punish-ing exercises included burpees, buddy crunches, fireman’s carry and build-ing a house, ending the course with dreaded dive bomber pushups.

“This is a great play-ground,” said Master Sgt.

Stephen Coffman, an event coordinator for the Commander’s Cup Chal-lenge. “Unfortunately we haven’t had very much rain over the last couple of days because when it’s flooded it’s even better.”

Teams were expected to complete each station as a team, conducting each workout in sync. If teams failed to work to-gether, they were required to start the station over.

“It was rough, it was definitely a CO’s chal-lenge,” said 1st Sgt. Ni-cole Freres, a Company A competitor. “Every obstacle, every exercise was a challenge. Throw-ing in exercises and hav-ing to do them as a team, together, I think that threw in a higher echelon of difficulty.”

Covered in sweat and dirt, and probably some bumps and bruises, Ma-rines crossed the finish line hoping for the best.

Out of the five teams that participated, Com-pany B emerged victori-ous with a total time of 48 minutes, 28 seconds, defeating Security Com-pany, as well as Company

A and both Company I teams. The nearest com-petition for victory came from Security Company, who completed the chal-lenge with a time of 49 minutes, 12 seconds.

“Personally, I have nev-er done that course before but if the Marines ever want to give their section or unit a challenge, it’s definitely worth running through and it was a good teamwork builder,” said Freres. “The reason I did this was to show them that even though I’m 38, I can still go out there and do stuff with the Marines. As a first sergeant, you need to do what you preach and set the example.

“I might not have been the fastest one on the team but their first ser-geant was out there with them while they were tired and worn out and I was right there along side of them doing exactly what they were doing,” added Freres.

For more information on the next Commander’s Cup Challenge, call Hei-di Anastasia at 451-3399.

Bike riders embrace wounded warriorsJESSIE HEATHSports editor

More than 150 bicyclists from North Carolina and Virginia gathered together in Atlantic Beach to help raise funds for Hope for the Warriors, recently.

The second annual Le Tour de Bogue Banks bike ride in support of Hope for the Warriors took place April 21. The route, which carried cyclists through Atlantic Beach and into Morehead City, was 42.6 miles long and required a great amount of stamina to navigate, since it included bridges and public roadways.

Approximately 160 cyclists with vary-ing degrees of experience and ability attended the event, taking part in the 42.6-mile course or the 10-mile short course, determined to race money for the Hope for the Warriors foundation.

“The goal of Le Tour de Bogue Banks was to increase our community’s involvement in a cause (where the) mis-sion is to enhance the quality of life for U.S. service members and their families who have been adversely affected by in-juries or death in the line of duty,” said Mike Hargett, a volunteer and commit-tee member for the bike ride.

Hope for the Warriors National Event and Volunteer Director Alexis Steele, said the generosity of the com-munity was evident through the bike ride.

“The community of Pine Knoll Shores continues to show extremely generous commitment to our military families who have sacrificed so much in the last 10 years,” Steele said.

Once everybody had registered for the 42.6-mile course or the 10-mile course, a total of $16,500 was raised for the Hope for the Warriors Foundation. Registration fees included entry to the event, a bike ride T-shirt, access to fully-

stocked rest stops along both the long and short routes, as well as support for the riders along both courses.

As bikers approached the starting line, ready to power their way through the towns of Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, Newport, Cape Carteret, Emerald Isle, Indian Beach, Salter Path and Pine Knoll Shores, they double checked the tires and brakes and waited anxiously for the ride to start. While the course was not designed to be a race, several bikers completed the 42.6-mile long circular course in less than two hours.

“That’s well over 21 miles per hour on machines without motors,” ex-plained Hargett.

In addition to the bike riders who attended to show their community sup-port, many wounded warriors and their families participated in the ride, re-minding community members that they wouldn’t let anything stop them from accomplishing their goals.

“Many wounded warriors and their families participated, showing us they still lead the way in spite of any of life’s bumps in the road,” said Hargett. “Ev-eryone seemed to finish with smiles on their faces knowing they participated in a great cause and made a difference for our service members who protect our freedom and our country.”

Participants who wanted to be in-volved in the bike ride but were not able to complete the long course, opted for the shorter ride, which began at Town Park in Atlantic Beach, made its way down to Fort Macon and returned to the starting point for the conclusion of the ride.

“The community has a passion for supporting the needs of wounded service members and their families in

PFC. FRANKLIN E. MERCADO2nd Marine Logistics Group

The Marine Corps has long been known for excellence and tradi-tion, two qualities which were on display during the 2012 Marine Corps Rifle and Pistol Matches Awards Ceremony at Stone Bay aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Leje-une, April 27.

The Marine Corps Rifle and Pistol Matches are annual competitions where Marines from around the Corps get a chance to prove their skill with the M-16-A4 service rifle and M-1911-A1 .45-caliber pistol.

The original Marine Corps Rifle Match took place in 1909 and quickly became an annual compe-tition. The Marine Corps Pistol Match became an annual event after its inception in 1921.

A total of 77 Marines participated in the event. The award ceremony at the end was held to rec-ognize the top shooters in the competition.

Gunnery Sgt. Joshua Peterson, the staff non-commissioned officer in charge of the Marine

Corps Shooting Team, was one of the many participants.

Peterson, who is a vet-eran of the competition, placed first in the Final Individual Rifle Match.

He out-shot 76 other Ma-rines, all of whom were striving to be the Marine Corps’ top shot.

Peterson is quick to mention how difficult it is to compete, a challenge

which became obvious when scores were an-nounced. He won with a slim six-point cushion.

“Overall, I think I did fairly well,” explained Pe-terson, who has made ap-

pearances at two previous rifle and pistol competi-tions. “But it’s not satisfy-ing. I’m never satisfied with my performance, because you can always do better in some area of

your performance.”Peterson credits his

never-satisfied mentality for his successes in the contests, because as he explains, the shooting competitions are a totally different “beast.”

“This is a different level of shooting, it’s not like getting range high at a rifle range,” Peterson explained. “During the competition it is totally different. The guy you are trying to beat is right next to you.”

Events like the Rifle and Pistol Matches give Marines a chance to showcase their talents. Peterson encourages Ma-rines to compete in shoot-ing events which are held throughout the Corps, beginning at intramural competitions.

“Marines should con-tact their chain of com-mands for competition information and get out and compete,” Peterson said. “The Marine Corps Shooting Team is looking for new Marines.”

The team is composed of 50 members. Cur-rently, 20 positions are waiting to be filled. The Rifle and Pistol Matches competition was a great start for many striving to reach that goal.

Marines hit bulls-eye for excellence

Photo by Pfc. Franklin E. MercadoMarines pose with their awards, including the Inter-Division Pistol Team Trophy, during the Marine Corps Shooting Matches Awards Ceremony at Stone Bay aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, April 27. The Marine Corps Rifl e and Pistol Matches are annual competitions where Marines from across the Corps get a chance to prove their skill with the M-16-A4 service rifl e and M-1911-A1 .45-caliber pistol. The award ceremony was held to recognize the top shooters in the competition.

a star – the center of everyone’s at-tention. Impossible to miss, athletes marched onto the field prepared to compete in a long day of events.

“The excitement of the participants is thrilling,” said Kimberly Gorry, a spe-cial guest of the Onslow County spring games and wife of Marine Corps Instal-lations East-Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune commanding officer Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Gorry. “I love seeing things like this.”

Gorry, who officially declared the spring games open, did so to loud cheers as athletes excitedly looked around, preparing themselves for every-thing that was yet to come.

“It’s overwhelming to see their ex-citement,” said Gorry. “They are ready to compete and have fun. All these schools and groups that come out will have a great time.”

As each athlete took the hand of a volunteer who would guide them through the day, the energy in the air was palpable. Everybody had high expectations – failure was simply not an option. They had been practicing, wait-ing and preparing, and now the time had come to show the world what they were made of.

With a variety of skill levels, partici-pants were split into groups based on a colored wrist band. Each group took part in activities appropriate for the skill level of their group members. Every game added a unique developmental aspect to it, providing an educational and therapeutic environment for the athletes.

“I jumped a long way,” exclaimed Kayla Musick, who participated in the long jump and received a participatory ribbon. “We’re good jumpers,” Musick added as she prepared to receive her ribbon with Jessica Schobel, who also participated in the long jump.

In order to ensure that every athlete was able to participate to the fullest extent of their abilities, each event was carefully planned for specific athletes, based on their physical, intellectual and social limitations.

While some athletes are more prone to participate in certain events than oth-ers, every athlete has the opportunity to show what they are made of during the spring games.

The Special Olympics of North

Carolina has at least one program in every county in the state, making it one of the largest and most respected pro-grams in the world. The state provides special year-round training for inter-ested athletes in every county, but it is the local level of the Special Olympics where change is first visible. From the moment that each athlete makes their way through the cheering crowd to meet the volunteer who will work with them for the day, change starts to take place. Barriers are broken, misconceptions are wiped away and transformations start to take shape. Even the shyest athlete was given a volunteer to help make the day one that would not be forgotten any time soon.

“I’m just out here to volunteer and do my part,” said Lance Cpl. Joe Copeland, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment. “It’s good to be out here and work with the community and these participants – we try to make the day fun for them.”

Copeland, who spent the morning with athlete Nicholas Neal, helped Neal at each event during the day. He assisted Neal in the beanbag toss and helped him throw balls from his wheelchair into a hoop while his athlete smiled and laughed through each event.

Copeland was one of many vol-unteers who assisted with the events, Friday. Marines from 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment and 3rd Bat-talion, 6th Marines joined a myriad of coaches, teachers and event planners to help make the day possible. Volunteers worked directly with athletes, moni-tored the flow of traffic entering and exiting the school grounds, served food and drinks or just waited for instruc-tions on how they could be of service. Regardless of how volunteers spent the morning, everything was done in the spirit of helping the athletes make the most of the spring games.

“It’s nice to see the volunteers helping and getting involved with the community,” said Gorry. “I see a lot of young Marines helping out today, giving back to the community. I also like seeing our base schools out here to participate. This is one thing that hap-pens everywhere, so it’s nice for (base patrons) to know that they have some-thing like this to enjoy.”

For base families with exceptional

family members, the consistency of an international program like the Special Olympics is something that is important to help establish connections and aware-ness, according to Gorry.

“It’s important to find places and organizations to get involved in when our military personnel and their fami-lies move,” explained Gorry. “Because they move so frequently, not much stays the same, but for kids and adults with special needs, consistency is a key factor in each move. Being able to keep one thing consistent goes a long way – it’s crucial. The Special Olympics happens all over the world.”

Gorry added the Onslow County Special Olympics program is welcome and nurturing toward families aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, and “welcomes any child and family who moves to the area with open arms.”

Students from Lejeune High School and Brewster Middle School attended and took part in the spring games, showing their Devil Pup pride as they competed against other athletes.

To help make the day more excep-

tional, students who assisted in the games carried signs and waved banners for their peers, surrounding them during every event and giving them the extra boost of confidence they needed to compete.

At the end of the morning, after every event had been completed, every athlete had shown their strength and endurance, and every ribbon had been awarded, athletes loaded into cars, vans and busses to go back home. As they prepared to leave with enough memories to last until the next Special Olympics games, each athlete and vol-unteer left with the knowledge that their success stretched far beyond the events they competed in. Every participant left a winner. Every volunteer left having made a difference.

“We can all reach our potential here,” said one volunteer. “We’ve com-peted and we’ve had fun. That means we have done what we set out to do.”

any way possible,” said Hargett, who rode in the Le Tour de Bogue Banks.

“Our community’s support stems from a strong belief that the freedoms we enjoy in the United States of America are sustained by the members of our mili-tary,” added Hargett.

Last year, the Le Tour de Bogue Banks raised $8,000 through their inaugural bike ride, which was later included in a $39,000 check presented to the Hope for the Warriors Foundation. For those who were interested in raising funds for the Hope for the Warriors Foundation but did not want to participate in the Le Tour de Bogue Banks bike ride were able to make online donations, which were eagerly accepted additional donations during the ride.

“This is an annual event and we’re hoping for an even bigger turnout next year,” said Hargett.

Donations to the bike ride can still be made online at the Le Tour de Bogue Banks website, or through Hope for the Warriors. Donations will continue to be accepted through the year.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes: The human body is a complex structure of in-terconnected parts. Maintaining fitness and overall health can be a true balancing act. As summer approaches, the Health Promo-tion and Wellness team at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune is reminding people that healthy exercise is about more than chal-lenging your body physically. It’s about safety, variety and attention to detail.

“As the weather changes, you need to use some common sense,” said Stacy Lamb, a health educator for Health Promotion and Wellness, NHCL. “You’re not going to want to exercise in sweatpants and a sweatshirt at one o’clock in the afternoon when June and July roll around.”

According to an article from the American College of Sports Medicine about heat inju-ries, athletes should take time to acclimatize to changes in their environment and wear proper attire. Athletes lose fluids and electro-lytes as they sweat, rendering them vulnerable to heat and dehydration-related illness such

as heat stroke. Those suffering from heat in-duced injuries may experience chills, dark urine, dizziness, dry mouth, headaches, thirst and weakness. In more serious cases, athletes may experience difficulty breathing, cramps, nausea and an increase in body temperature.

Eating a balanced diet and keeping the body well hydrated is key to maintaining health and overall fitness. For the general population, proper hydration means drink-ing about one ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight, depending on activity levels. Additionally, making sure diets cover the various food groups can help keep the im-mune system strong, said Lamb.

“(It’s about) having a well balanced diet so that you’re getting the nutrients and an-tioxidants that you need from fruits and vegetables and staying hydrated to help with heat injuries,” said Lamb. “When you have a vigorous, high-intensity, physical activity regime throughout the week, it can suppress your immune system. That’s why it’s good to cross train and have flexibility training to help your body recover and repair along with

Little Marines with camouflage face paint competed with each oth-er and put their bodies to the test, honing their marksmanship by firing Nerf weapons, racing through an inflatable ob-stacle course, and dashing through mini-physical fit-ness and combat fitness tests.

Marines brought their children to the second annual Headquarters and Support Battalion Kids Boot Camp event, host-ed at the Paradise Point recreational area aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently.

Children as young as four had a chance to par-ticipate in activities that were similar to the train-ing their Marine parents do. The youngsters were broken up to five compa-nies each with a specific age group, so they were evenly matched in skill and ability levels.

“It’s a great opportu-nity to bring the (military) kids out to do Marine-like events and share a little bit about what their parents do,” said Lt. Col. David G. Bardorf, the battalion commanding officer of HQSPTBn.

The event was a team effort of the battalion staff, but it was led by the battalion’s family

readiness officer, Rhonda Tomlinson.

“My mission, as Fam-ily Readiness Officer, is to empower both the Marine and family members to successfully balance the rigors of a military life-style, family, career and mission events, and to serve as a communication portal between the battal-ion and family members,” said Tomlinson. “Kids Boot Camp builds unit camaraderie by bringing Marines, sailors, soldiers and their families together for a fun-filled event.”

The event also provided a focal point to celebrate Month of the Military Child and National Take Your Child to Work Day.

“Rather than merely permitting military per-sonnel to bring their chil-dren into the work space, we provided an opportuni-ty for children to actually participate in some of the activities that Marines do as a part of their mission capability,” added Tomlin-son. “(The event was) an exciting opportunity for children to enjoy lots of fresh air, physical activity and time with their par-ents. It also encourages children to become more engaged in the family’s military lifestyle.”

Parents laughed and took pictures of their children as they found the courage to do events such as the rock climb. Children also conducted hand-to-hand combat in

child-sized sumo-suits. The marshmallow-like suits compromised their balance, and the children toppled face first and flat on their backs, on the ground kicking and flail-ing their arms and legs like beached whales as parents tried their best not to fall from laughing.

“Watching the kids wrestle in the sumo suites is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time,” said Bardorf. “You’ll see the smiles on their faces, and they’re having a wonder-ful time. That makes the parents smile. There are so many different depart-ments and sections, so it’s great to have the op-

portunity to come togeth-er and build that sense of camaraderie.”

Headquarters and Sup-port Battalion has quar-terly events for the entire battalion: Beach Day on June 21, a Jayne Wayne Day in September, visit to the Pumpkin Patch in Oc-tober and a Holiday Ju-bilee in December. Due to the size and diverse mission of the battalion, there are also company-level family readiness events periodically, noted Tomlinson.

Upcoming events can be found on the HQSPT-Bn. eMarine page at eMarine.org.

The creeping parade of lights gathers in the dark before Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s main gate every morning pending its long procession down Hol-comb Boulevard. If an acci-dent occurs, the procession slows to the familiar slinky of starts and stops as driv-ers jockey for a clear route around disabled vehicles.

Traffic is a daily fact of life for the service members and civilian personnel that work aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, just one of the many sacrifices they make in the name of security. Each vehicle must negotiate its way through the security personnel that protect the entrances feeding into the base. Holcomb Boulevard is the main artery.

More than 50,000 vehi-cles pass through the front gate on a daily basis, with the peak hours falling be-tween 6:30 to 8 a.m. and 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., said Ron-ald Sarmento, the deputy safety director for Marine Corps Installations East – MCB Camp Lejeune. Those are also the primary times for fender benders, vehicle mishaps and violations of traffic safety rules.

“I think it’s aggressive driving,” said Sarmento. “Drivers are still in the mindset that there is a short cut or that they can cut time off their commute because they know a secret to bypass traffic. That’s not the issue. I think the biggest problem we have is driver aggression in the morning, trying to cut in between vehicles and trying to cut into lanes at the last minute, which cre-ates (additional) hazards

with trailing vehicles.”The only way to beat

traffic is to plan accord-ingly, said Sarmento. Driv-ers have to leave earlier if they don’t want to get stuck in the peak traffic hours. There are only so many en-trances to the base and Hol-comb is going to experience heavy traffic. Following the proper procedures is one of the only ways to improve commute times.

“A lot of people are un-der the old mindset that if you are involved in a mis-hap or a fender bender you stop and don’t move your car,” said Sarmento. “If you are involved in an accident and your vehicle is capable, pull off to the side of the road. You create more of a hazard with people ‘rub-bernecking’ and backing up traffic.”

The shoulders are ca-pable of supporting almost any vehicle that needs to pull off Holcomb, said Sar-mento. Signs will go up on Holcomb in the near future making it clear that vehicles cannot obstruct traffic after a minor collision or break-down. Pulling out of traf-fic after a minor accident is actually a North Carolina state law and MCB Camp Lejeune mirrors most state laws, so drivers remain clear about regulations on base and out in town.

Broken down vehicles are a common sight along MCB Camp Lejeune’s main artery. Reporting col-lisions and breakdowns are the responsibility of the drivers, said Sarmento. That includes the removal of broken down vehicles, which will be towed to the base impound lot if not retrieved by their owners. While owners of towed ve-hicles do not have to pay a

Service members encouraged to voteLANCE CPL. SCOTT W. WHITINGMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

One of an individual’s most basic rights as an American citizen is to vote. Voting affects everything: law changes, elected government officials and differ-ent propositions. With the 2012 presidential election right around the corner, every service member should take advantage of the opportunity to let their voice be heard.

“Everything we vote for affects everything we swore to uphold when we took (the oath of enlistment),” said Capt. Jackson L. Schade, assistant adjutant and Marine Corps Installations East-Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Installa-tion voting assistance officer. “It affects our everyday lives both here and back home. Absentee voting is important because you can vote on issues back in your state of residence, which is where you might go when you (reach your end of active service date) or retire.”

Schade went on to explain how every vote matters, and that sometimes state governor elections, senator elections or House of Representative elections can come down to a few hundred votes.

“I think people look at the nation’s populations and see that there are some-where around 300 million people in this country and they think to themselves ‘my one vote doesn’t matter’ or ‘my vote won’t make a difference,’” he added. “Being educated and involved does make a difference if you look all the way down at the state level.”

A day at the beach can be fun, but nature can be unpredictable. Large waves, strong currents and deep water can prove to be a hazard in the right conditions.

To combat this, Marines are training to patrol On-slow Beach this summer as lifeguards in a comprehen-sive six-week course taught by Marine Corps Commu-nity Services.

“We want to make sure people can enjoy their summer without getting hurt,” said Katie Wright, a lifeguard instructor with MCCS.

To be a part of the class, Marines must be chosen by their command. They must swim 500 me-ters, dive to the bottom of the pool to retrieve a brick and complete the MCCS class, which cer-tifies them through the American Red Cross as a

waterfront lifeguard. “We’re working with

(lifeguard instructors) who take the time to teach us in-stead of saying ‘hey just get out there and do it,’” said Cpl. Matthew Delessandro, a student in the class. “So I think by the time the course is done we’ll definitely be ready to go out there and save some lives and do what we need to do.”

The Marines will be responsible for ensuring safety at the beach. They will monitor the shore from safety posts and by walking through the beach patrolling the area. They will prevent injuries by minimizing or eliminating hazardous situations and ensure that beach rules are being followed.

“Being Marines, we know how to take care of each other,” said Deles-sandro. “So there’s no one else out there who’s better than Marines to take care of Marines and their fami-lies at the beach.”

The Marines are spend-ing many hours learning

life saving skills, such as cardiopulmonary resuscita-tion and first aid skills such as applying splints and car-ing for head, neck and back injuries.

“We started out refining their strokes, teaching them to swim properly,” said Wright.

From there they began learning how to use their equipment and how to reach victims under a num-ber of circumstances. They learned how to rescue pas-sive, active and submerged drowning victims, how to use an automated external defibrillator and how to re-move a person from the wa-ter using a backboard.

“Anything can go wrong at a beach,” said Deles-sandro. “I think Marines are best at dealing with dif-ferent situations.”

With the Marines armed with the knowledge and skills necessary to watch out for them, swimmers at Onslow Beach need not fear the water and can in-stead enjoy a summer of fun in the sun.

Marines train to become lifeguards

The most convenient way to get registered to vote as a service member is with an absentee ballot, which can be done with one’s unit voting assistance officer. Voting assistance officers are actually sup-posed to contact every member of their unit at least once a year to either deliver a physical application or an electronic application via e-mail. That way they can fill it out and mail or e-mail it to their election office back home. The office will then mail back an absentee ballot with all the correct information for one’s local elections as well as any federal elections coming up, most notably the presidential election.

Voting assistance officers cannot force anyone to vote, but all the resources are readily available for any service member to register and vote.

“If for some reason someone doesn’t get their bal-lot in the mail on time, what they can do is ask their voting officer for a federal write-in absentee ballot or

print one out on fvap.gov,” Schade said. “You can do your research online and see who is running for

what in your hometown and write in your votes.”Schade said that if it gets to be about 30 days out

from an election and one still doesn’t have his or her absentee ballot, then getting a federal write-in absen-tee ballot would be a good way to make sure every-thing is completed and sent in on time.

Deployed service members who hope to cast their votes should request an absentee ballot as well. The process is exactly the same overseas as it is in gar-rison. Whoever is charged with the voting assistance officer billet while deployed has all information needed for service members overseas.

For more information about registering or filling out an absentee ballot, contact the voting assis-tance officer for their unit or can also visit fvap.gov.

MCCS teaches class on making smart purchasesLANCE CPL. SCOTT W. WHITINGMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

“Buying a car is the second most important purchase a per-son will make during his or her life, after buying a home,” said Roy Ells, a personal finance and education specialist with Marine Corps Community Services.

MCCS hosted a class on car buying aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, April 12. The goal was to educate young Marines before they make a pur-chase that could negatively affect the rest of their financial lives.

“Car buying is one of those areas in our economy where you still have some negotiating room,” said Ells.

During the two-hour class, Ells stressed many important factors when it comes to buying a ve-hicle. He said that many young, first-time buyers will go to a deal-ership, see the car they want and get it without any prior research. Many of these young people will get ripped off, because the

same vehicle may have been right across the street at a cheaper price, but they didn’t bother to look anywhere else. He also said that many younger Marines can get taken advantage of, because salespeople know they are young and need a vehicle.

“I didn’t tell anybody what they should or shouldn’t buy,” he said. “I’m here to show them how to go about doing the research, think about what their needs are versus what they may want and settle on something they can real-istically afford.”

During the class he also said that structuring payments is the most important thing to do. Since young Marines don’t get huge paychecks, making sure they can afford their car payments and still have money left over is critical.

“There’s no point in paying for a car while it sits in the bar-racks parking lot because you don’t have money to drive it any-where,” added Ells.

Ells also said that if a car pay-ment is anywhere near 30 percent of the service member’s monthly

salary, then the buyer is in danger of not being able to afford pay-ments in the long run.

One of the last, big points that Ells wanted to stress during the class was to read everything on a contract. Many things may be in that contract and if the time is not taken to read it, there can be adverse affects on the buyer. He also said that if a salesperson promises something, it needs to be put into some form of writing so that the deal will be upheld, otherwise the dealership doesn’t have to honor any verbal promise or guarantee.

“I bought my first car on im-pulse when I was young and the goal of this class is to try to help other young service members not make the same mistake,” Ells said.

The class is one that is taught regularly by either Roy Ells, or Lewis Summerville, who is also a finance education specialist with MCCS.

proper nutrition.”It’s probably not the traditional prescription people are look-

ing for when trying to prevent disease, but a balanced work-out plan goes hand in hand with a properly proportioned plate.

As runners hit the pavement to enjoy the summer warmth, Lamb encourages them not to forget about cross training to encourage healthy joints and prevent injury. For those that have avoided running over the winter, it means easing their way back into running. A person’s running program should never increase by more than 10 percent in a week or ignore their other muscle groups.

“In general, the population doesn’t do enough strength and flexibility training,” said Lamb. “A lot of people think that they just need cardio, and yes, we do need cardio, but strength train-ing is a very important component for maintaining fitness.”

For some people, that might mean yoga or swimming to help with breathing, lung capacity and flexibility. Low im-pact activities also take stress off of joints and give the body a chance to heal, said Lamb.

“I suggest they make sure their strength training regimen is a balance between all their muscle groups” said Lamb. “Don’t forget about your hamstrings when you’re always working your quadriceps and don’t forget your shins when you’re al-ways working your calves. Everything needs to be balanced. The same goes for flexibility training to help injury in a joint. Make sure that every muscle that is supporting that joint re-mains as strong and flexible as the others.”

The ACSM has an initiative that treats exercise like a medi-cine, said Lamb. People monitor their vital signs, such as blood pressure and cholesterol, but physical activity is another indica-tor of overall health. The ACSM suggests at least 150 minutes of cardio every week. They also suggest at least two days of strength training for each of the bodies major muscle groups every week.

Recent trends have lead many people to utilize work-out plans, such as fitness DVDs. Lamb suggest that people at-tempting these programs keep in mind that they are not al-ways designed for sedentary lifestyles.

“You can start out doing ten or 15 minutes of those a day,” said Lamb. “I don’t recommend to anyone who is completely sedentary and out of shape to jump right into one of those programs and try and do it like it’s supposed to be done. There is a good chance of getting injured. They’re good programs, but they’re intense programs.”

In fact, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has its own fit-ness professionals. The Semper Fit program, which is one of the nation’s largest group fitness programs, offers classes aboard the base for personnel looking to add some variety to their work-out routine. Health Promotion and Wellness also offers classes for healthy heart, nutrition and weight management.

Whether it is proper hydration or maintaining a moderated work-out plan, summer fitness calls for a healthy dose of caution and planning. Increases in work outs should focus on one of the four major areas at a time: Time, frequency, intensity and type. This will help maintain the balance needed to prevent injury.

For updates and news covering various exercise topics, visit acsm.org. The health classes offered by Health Promo-tion and Wellness are open and free to active-duty personnel, retired military and their families and Department of Defense employees. Anyone interested in attending a course or seek-ing information can call 451-3712.

storage fee for the base impound, they will, however, have to pay for the tow truck that removes their vehicle.

Since the start of 2012, MCB Camp Lejeune has recorded a total of 689 vehi-cle accidents, 47 resulting in injuries. The Provost Marshal’s Office also issued 1,334 citations for speeding and nearly 500 addi-tional citations for seatbelt and cell phone violations.

Despite what many people think, Sar-mento said, using the speakerphone func-tion is not considered a hands-free device. What is more, since statistics are showing a danger even with hands-free devices, some North Carolina lawmakers are talk-ing about making them illegal as well while driving.

For the most part, the flow of traffic aboard MCB Camp Lejeune is running normally, said Sarmento. Additions to Holcomb in the form of cut-outs, which increase the length of turning lanes, can already be seen along the road. These will help prevent traffic congestion caused by drivers attempting to turn off of Holcomb.

Traffic congestion increased consider-

ably after 9/11, when force protection ef-forts increased security at the front gate.

“The main gate is not designed to in-crease the flow of traffic,” said Sarmento. “The initial concept was not to increase the traffic flow, but to (improve) force pro-tection because the original front gate was too close to the main road.”

While the commute down Holcomb has improved since 9/11, heavy traffic is just a reality faced along the base’s main cause-ways, said Sarmento.

The service members and civilian per-sonnel entering the base are engaged in efforts to maintain and improve the secu-rity of the nation. Vehicles in base traffic should not be seen as obstacles or objects of contention, said Sarmento. They are people with a common mission.

“That’s the bottom line: Security of the base,” said Sarmento. “It’s a safe base that you work at and the military and civilian personnel that are in traffic are here to sup-port the military.”

Drivers are required to report all colli-sions to the base Provost Marshal’s Office, including collision with animals. To report a non-injury collision, call 451-3004/3005. Call 9-1-1 in case of injury or emergency.

Sunny days have swept the clouds away, and Sesame Street has been found.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune was the latest stop for Elmo and his friends as they rolled onto base with their custom-ized tour bus as part of the Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families at the base theater, April 25 and 26.

The tour, which has traveled to military installations around the world, came back stateside to intro-duce a new character, a new

story and a new way to help military children deal with their unique lifestyles.

“Our nation’s military communi-ty is our top priority, especially our youngest heroes,” said Sloan Gib-son, USO president and CEO.

Headlining Phase Six of the tar-geted show is the new kid on the block, Katie, a military child who is sad about having to relocate with her family. With the help of Elmo, Cookie Monster and other friends, Katie learns that moving doesn’t have to be scary and making new friends can be fun.

Katie was introduced by First Lady Michelle

Obama and Dr. Jill Biden at a Joining Forces rally in April 2011.

“Our goal is to reach as many military chil-dren and their families as we can with Elmo and Katie’s message of hope and resilience,” explained H. Melvin Ming, Sesame

“WRATH OF THE TITANS” (PG-13)

“Wrath of the Titans” is an action adventure sequel to the 2010 “Clash of the Titans.”

Set a decade after his heroic defeat of the mon-strous Kraken, Perseus, the demigod son of Zeus, is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and as the sole parent to his 10-year-old son, Helius.

Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the titans.

Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the im-prisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon.

Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares, switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus.

The Titan’s strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned and hell is unleashed on earth.

Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda, Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor and fallen god Hep-haestus, Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save man-kind.

Reprising their roles

from “Clash of the Titans” are: Sam Wor-thington (“Avatar”) as Perseus who was born of a god but raised as a man and sought revenge for the death of his family at the hand of Hades; Liam Neeson (“The Grey”) as Zeus, the king of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus; Ralph Fiennes (“Harry Potter” series) as Hades, the revengeful god of the underworld; and Danny Huston (“The Warriors Way”) as Posei-don, god of the sea.

Also starring are Edgar Ramirez (“Domino”) as Ares, the traitorous god of war; Bill Nighy (“Pi-rate Radio”) as Hephaes-tus, the fallen god whose twisted, lame figure belies his Olympian origins; and Toby Kebbell (“War Horse”) as Agenor, im-prisoned thief who joined Perseus on his journey to Tartarus.

Rosamund Pike (“The Big Year”) returns as Andromeda, the warrior princess whose life Per-seus once saved, and who now, as a queen, follows Perseus into battle.

Director Jonathan Liebesman (“Battle: Los Angeles,” “The Kill-ing Room,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning”) took the task of continuing the saga of the Greek gods’ dilemma which started with ”Clash of the Titans.”

“Wrath of the Titans” is another huge spectacle filmed in 3D that un-leashes more of the fury of the gods and monsters and continues telling the adventure of the Titans.

LHS presents ‘You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown’AMY BINKLEYAssistant managing editor

He’s never pitched a winning baseball game, gotten a kite to fly or successfully punted a football, but

he’s a good man.Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest

of the iconic Peanuts’ gang are mak-ing a comeback during the Lejeune High School Theatre Guild’s spring musical, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” at the LHS auditorium aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, this weekend.

“This is the first musical the school has done in at least 10 years,” pointed out Steven Barker, theater and English instructor. “It’s a very different thing to do with as much of a transient and small population as we have. These

kids are working hard.”Legendary cartoonist Charles M.

Schulz’s characters and their stories span generations, and the stage adap-tation is sure to bring back childhood memories for many in the audience.

“My dad loves Snoopy so I grew up watching this stuff,” admitted sopho-more Kellie Dillon, assistant director. “To be able to see it as a musical is awesome. The Red Baron has a whole dialogue that’s absolutely amazing. We even have Woodstock.”

The story follows a day in the life of Charlie Brown who is set on figuring out if he really is as good as his friends say and how he can become a better person.

He battles with a kite-eating tree, gets love advice for five cents and even celebrates “Beethoven Day.”

Of course, though he may at times be lonely, Charlie Brown is never alone.

The smart and sassy Lucy bosses her way around the stage while at-tempting to make the perennial piano playing Schroeder fall in love with her. Sally struggles with school work, Linus won’t let go of his blanket and Snoopy’s imagination runs wild.

John Melicor, a junior, takes on the title role, playing Chuck’s idiosyncra-sies perfectly.

“I feel the pressure, but it helps me because I’m a perfectionist,” he said. “I keep trying and working toward getting it right.”

Melicor found it easy to relate to his character with his laidback, easy-going personality, but with the added chal-lenge of a musical, he’s not taking it easy.

“I’m my toughest critic,” he noted. “It’s a little intimidating, but we’ve come so far.”

Put together in less than two

months, the production is the group’s third for the school year and marks Barker’s first anniversary with the school.

“I’ve definitely seen what this com-munity likes and doesn’t like in terms of productions,” Barker said. “I’m still in the process of learning what works, but we made a choice to do a musical and stuck with it. I think we’ve picked a crowd pleaser.”

Many members of the cast had noth-ing but praise for the teacher and how he has revitalized the theater program at the school through his unique teach-ing style of student-lead productions.

“I used to be shy, but with (Barker’s help), I’ve totally opened up,” respond-ed Sandra Hubbard, who plays Snoopy in the play. “I’m not afraid to try new things, and I feel like I’ve grown as an actress.”

Workshop president and CEO. “And as we begin our sixth phase of this tour, we are proud to see the growing number of troops and their families reached by this effort.”

The first five phases of the experience focused on help-ing kids deal with their feelings when mommy or daddy is deployed and has to leave home for several months.

Tickets for the three, free performances went fast as parents planned weeks in advance to bring their little ones to learn and meet their favorite characters.

“I want to take advantage of every opportunity base offers for my daughter while we live here,” said Stepha-nie Pawelski, a military spouse.

Pawelski was thankful for the fun family activity that was not only educational but also helpful in passing time since her husband deployed.

“I’m trying to keep them as busy as possible,” she re-sponded. “It’s neat for her to be able to relate the things she sees on television to what she’s seeing in real life.”

The military-focused show was the perfect celebration of Month of the Military Child, as hundreds of kids and their parents filled the theater’s seats.

While singing and dancing filled most of the 30-min-

ute show time, the event also educated children on the inevitability of having to move to a new place while be-ing a military child.

“I loved the theme – moving, making new friends,” noted Fiorenda Pierre, a military spouse who came with her three sons. “We always talk about it. They’re so young and they get sad about moving. It’s cool when Elmo explains it.”

Rebekah Schler knows what it’s like to relocate with a child because of the military. Her son is only a year old and has already moved three times.

“He may be young, but he definitely knew something was different (when we moved),” she admitted. “I think it’s helpful to be with other kids who know what he’s go-ing through. It’s nice to know someone cares.”

Katie danced along with Grover and Rosita and learned that meeting new friends means one step for-ward, one step at a time.

“This show is the vehicle to the tools that start a dia-logue to help (kids) make new friends,” explained Tom Zaizar, Sesame Workshop company manager. “When it happens to them, they’ll be able to relate it back to this and start a discussion. It gives kids insight and security

knowing they’ll be all right.”Zaizar was careful to point out that the show isn’t just

for children but for families.“One of the great things about this show is that it re-

ally brings families together,” he noted. “There’s a mo-ment when (parents) see their kids’ faces light up, and they look at each other and understand that this is a good thing.”

The focus may have been different, but Sesame Street is far from new, teaching everything from the alphabet to healthy eating for decades on educational television

“This show is for kids of all ages,” said Zaizar. “A lot of the adults now are the first generation of Sesame Street (viewers). It’s a tradition. Who knows? Twenty years down the road they could be coming in with their own families to watch a show like this.”

In the past four years, according to the website, the tour has taken its message to more than 248,000 troops and military families and performed 433 shows on 131 military bases in 33 states and eleven countries. In total, the tour has logged more than 106,500 miles.

LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERAMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Students throughout Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s Department of Defense Education Activ-ity Schools were able to explore the world of sci-ence, technology, educa-tion, art and mathematics through STEAM week, recently.

“We emphasize in-tegrating STEAM into all of our subjects,” said John Stroup, the assistant principal of Heroes El-ementary School aboard the base.

While many places focus on science, tech-nology, engineering and math, local DODEA

schools have added art to the equation.

“We know that the arts helps change people’s perspectives and solve problems,” said Stroup. “People who design things and solve problems have to look at things differently and that’s what art and music does.

The schools found many ways to teach students about STEAM. Some schools brought in the military community to help. For instance, an Explosive Ordnance Dis-posal unit visited Tarawa Terrace Elementary School with robots.

“We talked about the engineering aspects and the technology needed to create robots,” said Carol Dula, an information

specialist with the school. “We talked about their roles and the ways they save lives. It was a great demonstration for the kids to see. (Some of) their parents are out in areas where it’s dangerous, so seeing robots that could save their parents lives is something they could re-ally connect with.”

The Marines of EOD demonstrated the robots movements and showed the capabilities of the machines.

“The robots were fairly big,” said Dula. “To see something like that in person was eye-popping to (the children).”

Tarawa Terrace Elementary School also had a family night which included many activities,

such as creating a gum-drop dome and robotics 1-2-3 tie your shoe, where students had to try to tie their shoes with some ob-stacles, for instance some had to try while using pliers.

“It shows them how difficult it can be to do something like that with a robot,” said Dula.

The schools also had engineering design chal-lenges, where students created things based on their age level.

Some classes had bal-loon car races and oppor-tunities to create bridges. Students also visited local building sites where they spoke to engineers and discussed construction and STEAM applications to real-life projects.

An MV-22 Osprey from Marine Corps Air Station New River visited Heroes Elementary School. Stu-

dents were able to witness its landing and take a tour through the craft.

Lejeune High School had Joe Bozeman, an environmental engineer and green environmental management systems coordinator with the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center, visit the school to speak to students about opportunities existing for STEAM internships and employment with the federal government.

“Bozeman shared his own journey, answered student questions, and engaged them in an activ-ity to consider the current and future state of renew-able and non-renewable energy sources,” said Denise Hudson, the sci-ence instructional systems specialist for grades 4-12 for North Carolina Do-DEA schools.

Stroup believes expos-ing students to profes-sionals of all backgrounds will really cement the idea that their students can go anywhere no matter the circumstance.

“It’s important to have role models,” said Stroup. “Perception is really important and seeing pro-fessionals gives kids the confidence to know that they can do it.”

The schools made sure to emphasize collabora-tion and communication between STEAM fields and how they apply to the real world to the students.

“STEAM is a word that we’re using to un-derstand that we need to make sure that science, technology, engineering, arts and math is a process that’s involved in every aspect of learning,” said Dula. “Not just in a sci-ence lab.”

Ladies wore their poodle skirts and the gentlemen sported leather jackets while they rocked out and did the Twist and Shout during the parent-child Sock Hop dance, hosted at the Tarawa Terrace Community Center aboard the Marine Corp Base Camp Lejeune housing area, Saturday.

“We did this event to offer parents the opportunity to re-connect with their chil-dren in a fun and safe environment,” said Lorraine Fuller, a recreational specialist with Tarawa Terrace Community Center, Marine Corps Community Services. “Ul-timately this event was put on to celebrate the month of the Military Child. It was our way to thank all the military kids for the sacrifices they make to keep our coun-try safe. And, we celebrated our socks off.”

The disk jockey presented a variety of 50’s rock and roll and some of the partici-pants took their shoes off and slid through dances.

During the 50s dancers were required to remove their shoes to protect the varnished floors, which is how the term sock hop came about. However, this event allowed shoes on the dance floor.

But the shoes came off when parents and children competed in a twist-off dance and hula hoop contest. Prizes were awarded to the best adult and child twister.

They also formed the traditional dance-off circle, giving the spotlight to any daring dancer.

“Parent-child events are one of our favorite events to put on,” said Fuller. “We try to bring the ‘kids’ out of the adults by making them do silly competitions and the

children absolutely loved it. I think they enjoy seeing their parents being silly, relax-ing and having fun.”

She continued, “I believe that is one of the most important things about offer-ing these programs to military families. It provides respite from an often stressful lifestyle.”

Parents taught their children the moves to master the floor, but some of the children seemed to be the ones doing the teaching. Children mimicked each other’s moves and grooved to the music through the night.

“This is fun,” said Jayden Hornburg, a military child who attended the dance. “I haven’t been to a party like this. I’ve been to other concerts but this was actually quite different. It celebrates the older times and brings back memories for (some) people.”

Hornburg added how much he enjoyed the dance competitions.

“I was hesitant at first, but I was okay after I started dancing,” he said. “The fact that (MCCS) does events like this for us shows that they want us to have a good time and that they care.”

Although many of the participants never experienced the 50s first hand, the community center was able to provide a flashback to the past.

“I think this is awesome especially for (families) that are dealing with deploy-ments such as myself,” said Onyde Davo-ren, a military spouse who attended the dance. “It really gives them a chance to do something and get their mind off of it. For them to create or just have functions for us is amazing.”

Teen Squad, the Marine Corps Commu-nity Services program for youth, has chosen Tyler James, a seventh grader at Brewster Middle School, as its new Teen of the Month.

“He’s one of many teens that is dedicated to coming here and being himself,” said Jonathan Savage, a child, youth and teen program as-sistant with Teen Squad. “He makes people laugh. He’s always asking ques-tions about events that are coming up. He (cares) about teen squad.”

It’s the small things, said Savage, that are taken into account when the Teen Squad staff looks for their teen of the month.

The teen must be making a good effort in school and they must be good citizens of Teen Squad.

“I look for attitude,” said Savage. “Do they like to explore new things, or are they quiet and not doing much? Tyler is ‘out there,’ but in a good way.”

Tyler enjoys writing and mathematics. He

writes a lot of fiction, which he post on an online community that allows people to display their creativity, and enjoys tinkering with my-thology in his fiction.

He also enjoys photog-raphy.

“He takes a lot of photos on his spare time,” said Savage. He added, however, that Tyler saves his art for when he’s at home. In Teen Squad he’s all about having fun.

“He may be quiet when he’s at school but while he’s here, he’s (outgoing),” said Savage. “He brings that energy to the facility and that carries from one teen to the other, it gets the staff involved in it too.”

Damien Rosas, a friend of Tyler, said that Tyler’s personality bright-ens Teen Squad.

“He’s very lively, he tells a few jokes and gets people laughing,” said Rosas. “He livens up the mood.”

A tech savvy teen, Tyler wants to make a future with computers or the technology field.

“I see him doing big things,” said Savage. “I hear him talk about what he wants to do with com-puters. I see him making his own video game one day, or something big that

gets his name out there.”Rosas said Tyler is

dedicated to helping make Teen Squad the best it can be.

“I really think he works hard for this and

he really deserved (being awarded as Teen of the Month),” said Rosas.

FATHER ERIC R. HOOGMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

In 1999 I was on the island of East Timor for the first time with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. I was the Battalion Landing Team 1st Bat-talion, 1st Marine Regiment chaplain. We were part of a multi-national force assisting the people of East Timor. They had recently voted for inde-pendence and were being crushed by an invading force trying to block that independence.

Around June of 2001, I was there again as the 11th MEU command chaplain. The East Timorese people were still re-building their new founded nation.

My story is about a nameless man and his little boy. The Amphibious Ready Group command chaplain and I were looking at the shore.

Before departing the ship, we stuffed our pock-ets full of bags of candy. As we were waiting for a ride to take us to our meeting point, we started distributing the bags of candy to the children that were gathered watching the landings.

One dad was standing there. He had on flip-flops, a tattered old shirt and cutoff jeans. He had children surrounding him. As we passed out the bags of candy, one of his boys got a bag. The little boy ripped the bag open. He was about to gulp down the whole bag of candy when he looked up at his dad.

The dad just gave him a two or three second glance, but the boy knew what the glance meant. He turned to the little boy next to him who did not get any candy. The one little boy told the other boy to make a nest with his hands. He poured about half the bag of candy into the boy’s hands. They shared the treat.

This picture has stayed in my mind. Here was this family devastated by oppression and poverty. They probably had not much more than what they were wearing.

Candy was a rare treat. But, that simple lesson of charity, of sharing from one’s need with an-other who also was in need, was for me a modern day example of the charity of which our Lord spoke when Jesus lectured about the “widow’s mite.”

The poor widow gave from her want and that multiplied the value of her gift. May our gifts of charity bless others a hundredfold.

Charity begins with candy

Hubbard, a senior, is sad to say goodbye to her soon-to-be alma mater, but she’s excited to see the growth of the theater program.

“I’ve seen a lot of the younger (students) get inter-ested in it, whether it’s just showing up to the perfor-mances or helping backstage,” she said.

Dillon has also noticed a significant change in the attitude toward the theater.

“You hear about it all the time now,” she said.While Barker’s insistent push for the students to

not only learn lines, but to build sets, run sound and be involved in every area of the production, may seem like a lot, Dillon insists it is what has made the group so successful in such a short amount of time.

“It really helps with problem solving,” she ex-plained. “We learn how to fix things ourselves instead of assuming someone else will do it. You really start to love the program when you know you’ve been a part of it in every aspect.”

For the past year, Barker has seen the challenges

and triumphs of bringing theater to a military base, but he notes that his students understand the impor-tance of fine arts in schools.

“The kids who are here get it – consuming live the-ater isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity,” he said. “They’ve learned that producing theater is not an easy thing.”

Barker hopes to see many new faces filling the seats of the auditorium this weekend, not just to be enter-tained but to support the school, students and the fine arts.

“Any time an actor does a show, they do it with the hopes of performing for a packed house,” he replied. “We haven’t had that yet, but we’re working on it.”

Performances start today at 3 p.m. and continue Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 3 and 7:30 p.m. Admission is $5 for students and seniors, $7 for adults and $3 for wounded warriors.
