MARINE uutir4 HISTORICAL

Volume 16 No. 18 Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii May 5, 1967

FY'68 Foresees 8285 NCO Advancements An 8285 increase in NCO

strength, approved by the Defense Department for the Marine Corps for the fiscal year starting July 1, is going to have an immediate impact on many enlisted Marines according to Navy Times. The in- crease in the top six pay grades' strength will mean:

* More than 20,000 more pro- motions during fiscal '68 to pay grades E-4 through E-9. The Corps originally had planned 38,

854 advancements to these grades, now plans 59,177.

* Shortly after July 1, a new round of SNCO selection boards will be convened to pick the extra numbers.

* Existing waiting lists will probably all be exhausted before the new boards convene. This will give earlier-than-expected pro- motions to thousands of Marines.

* Promotions to Marines in lower pay grades will alp be

H&HS Selects Opeka Twins 1967 Water Queen Hopefuls

"Two heads are better than one," or so at least the men of H &HS would seem to believe. The announcement of their 7th Annual K-Bay Water Carnival Queen Candidate revealed a plu- ral selection in the shape of a shapely set of twins.

The 16-year-old twins, Julie and Jodi Opeka, ace the daughters of tCol. and Mrs. F.C. Opeka.

Julie is a brown haired, green eyed, 5 foot 5 inch sophomore at Kailua High School Her major interests are water skiing, sew- ing, cooking, and modern jazz dancing. Julie has had three years of instruction in jazz dancing already and plans to continue the lessons.

Her plans for the future in- clude attending a dance school in California and later, a jazz dancing career.

Jodi has brown hair, blue eyes, stands 5 feet 6 inches and is also a sophomore at Kailua

KMCAS Catholic Chaplain Observes 25th Anniversary

K-Bay's Catholic Chaplain, Father Joseph J. Buzek, and Army Chaplain Father Victor F. Broering , Schofield Barracks, will celebrate their 25th anni- versary as priests this Sunday, May 7, in the Air Station's St. Michael's Chapel at 4 p.m.

Friends and parishioners are invited to the Mass of Thanks- giving, also hosted by Fathers John Joyce, Provincial of the Honolulu MaryknollOrder; Fran- cis Elliott, Chaplain of Wheeler Air Force Base; and John New- ton, Chaplain of the Submarine Base, Pearl Harbor.

The Master of Ceremonies will be Father Anthony Pascale of St. Stephen Seminary, which also provides the Acolytes and choir.

Following the silver anniver- sary observance in the Chapel, a reception will be held in the Staff Non Commissioned Of- ficer's Club, later moving on to a dinner for invited clergy at the Officer's Club.

list of interests. Art work being her major interest, Jodi has taken five years of art classes in school.

After attending an art school in California, Jodi plans to go on to a career of fashion illustrating.

If the past is any indication of the future, the twins would seem to have a good chance in the contest. The last time the two worked together, they took first prize in a junior high con- test for their modern jazz dance duet.

"Fun" and "original" were the comments made by the twins concerning their being chosen to run as a team.

The twins' older sister, Susan, was recently announced as a candidate for one of the competing units. When asked how they felt about running against their sister, they had these com- ments to make. Julie: "I think the whole situation is unique." Jodi stated, "Well, this way we have a better chance of keeping it in the family."

They both added that their father, having been caught in the middle, is at all times "neutral."

The queen selection, conduct- ed April 28 to June 5, is the first major event of the carnival.

stepped up. Corps planners fig- ure on an extra promotion period to sergeant in July, im nediately following the regularly scheduled June E-5 advancements.

* And, particularly for leathernecks returning from Vietnam, the increased NCO structure puts the Corps in the position of being able to give NCOs a "more reasonable" tour in the U.S. between unaccom- panied overseas tours.

The increase in NCO strength was a logical outgrowth of two fairly recent increases granted the Corps in the overall numbers. These two increases - one a 3500 man jump to take care of "Viet- nam pipeline" and a subsequent 6000 man increase - are both effective for the rest of fiscal year 1967 and will continue in effect for FY '68. These jumps and some concurrent "adjust- ments" put Corps strength autho,- ri:ed at about 286,000.

The NCO rate will jump from 44.2 percent in FY 1967 to 45.1 percent in FY 1968, still the lowest ratio among all the ser- vice.

By pay grade, here are the increases authorized for the corps: E-9, 96; E-8, 470; E-7, 700, E-6, 2602; E-5, 2376; and E-4, 2041.

Because the increases affect all the top-six grades, their im- pact in the total number of pro- motions snowballs with each de- scending rank. Thus, the 96 new promotions to E-9, mean promo- tion to E-8 of its increase -470 - plus the 96 vacancies created by the extra promotion to E-9, or a total of 566.

The increased promotions to (Ss a NCO Promotion Boom, Page 2)

Red Cross Celebrates

World-Wide Birthday Red Cross chapters around

the world will celebrate World Red Cross Day on Monday. This day marks the anniversary of the birth of Henri Dunant (1828- 1910).

Mr. Dunant called the prophet of Red Cross, was a citizen of Geneva, Switzerland, who ori- ginated the idea of forming na- tional societies for the neutral protection of ill and wounded soldiers in time of war. His ideas formed the basis of the Geneva Treaty of 1864 and this treaty was the starting point of the world-wide Red Cross movement of which the United States and the American Red Cross became a part nearly 20 years later.

And so from continued faith in the idea phrased by our found- er, Mr. Dunant, on the battle- fields of Solferino that "All men are brothers," the Red Cross serves our men today in Vietnam as well as people the world over.

This new procedure will allow the Corps to stay more up-to-the -minute in maintaining NCO strength and means quicker promotions to many in the lower grades who would normally have ,to wait a couple of months for another stripe.

Six Moka u Students Earn Americanism

Six pupils from the Mokapu Elementary School were pre- sented plaques for their essays in the Americanism Awards sponsored by Chapter 402 of the National Sojourners Inc., May 1.

These awards were present- ed to the first and second place essays from the fourth through sixth grades.

From the fourth grade, the winning essay was written by Natalie Woods, second place es- say by Patricia Ann Mincey. Fifth grade, first place, Evelyn E. Cole, second, Hollace D. Lyon; and in the sixth grade, first, John C. Dopler, second, Leslie Ann Brents.

Writing on the theme, "What America Means To Me," one of the young writers said, "America means to me that a lot of people gave their lives to show people that they still love their free- dom."

Another said that "There are no classes here. All men are equal. That man from the poor- est community has as much a choice in life as the richest."

One of the sixth graders wrote "America means to be able to vote and go to school to get an education. We should be glad we are Americans because the people in China are ruled by com- munist leaders. In China the people exist for the state. In America the state exists for the people."

Still another said "We are

Essay Awards lucky, for we can be just about anything we want to be, from a bum to the President. We can go to libraries, visit towns and see places. We are very fortu- nate for we can do much more than any other child in the world."

Perhaps two of the youngsters summed it all up when they wrote, "When I say the Pledge of Alle- giance I don't just say it because everyone else does. I say it because I am really pledging my allegiance to the United States."

The other stated that "Many people can tell their feeling for America, but my feeling is so great I can't tell of it."

Lieutenant Colonel R. W. Cline, Station executive officer, made the presentations during the Mokapu PTA meeting.

Big man in the hills of west- ern Pennsylvania in the summer of 1942 was this boot private who was back home on leave. Now he's quite a big man at K- Bay.

men. After the Father entered ac-

tive duty in June, 1943, with his duty stations ranging from Harts Island, New Ycrk to North Africa to the Office of the Di strict Chaplain, Great Lakes, he re- turned to in-active in September, 1946.

Four years later Father Bu- zek departed his civilian parish to serve with the Marines at Par- ris Island, South Carolina; aboard the aircraft carriers Essex and Saratoga; Pensacola, Florida; Panama Canal Zone; Norfolk, Virginia; Key West, Florida; and since March, 1965, at Kaneohe.

Father George Rossback, Commander, Chaplains Corps, will arrive at the Air Station May 11 and will assume Father Buzek's duties.

Long-time friend of Father Buzek, and theological school class - mate, Father Broering, Lieutenant Colonel, Army Chap- lains Corps, from Schofield, is completing his tour here in July and then going to Ft. Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis, Ind., as post chaplain.

At the time of his gallant sacrifice, Sergeant Connor was platoon sergeant of the Third Platoon, Company "F", 2nd Bat- talion, Third Marines, 1st Ma- rine Division. His platoon was taking part in a search and des- troy operation in Quang Ngai Pro- vince on February 25, 1966, in an area of extensive caves and tunnel complexes.

The citation accompanying his award reads in part:

"Exhibiting particular alert- ness and keen observation, he spotted an enemy spider hole emplacement approximately fif- teen meters to his front. . . Upon pulling the pin of a grenade he realized that the firing mech- anism was faulty, and that even as he held the safety device firmly in place, the fuse charge was already activated...he furth- er realized that he could not cover the distance to the small opening of the spider hole in sufficient time...to safely throw the grenade. Manifesting extra- ordinary gallantry and with utter disregard for his personal safe- ty, he chose to hold the grenade against his own body in order to absorb the terrific explosion and spare his comrades. . .His act of exterme valor and selfless- ness in the face of virtually cer- tain death, although leaving him mortally wounded, spared many of his fellow Marines from death or injury. His gallant action in giving his life in the cause of freedom reflects the highest credit upon the Marine Corps and the Armed Forces of the United States. "

New School Trains Jet, Cargo Pilots For 'Copter Duties

Transforming jet and trans- port pilots into helicopter pilots is the purpose of a recently- initiated helicopter transition school at Air Operation's search and recovery (SAR) unit.

According to the SAR officer, Captain James C. Henderson, this school is the only one of it's kind west of MC AS, El Toro, Califor- nia.

The students go through 18 hours of ground school lectures taught by Captains Henderson and Patrick S. Simpson and Staff Sergeant William J. Tench Jr., in which they receive instruction in helicopter aerodynamics and nomenclature.

Besides ground training the men also receive 30 hours of flight training in the form of 21 flights taught by Captains Simp- son and William L. O'Conner. After successfully mastering correct and safe landings, take- offs, hovering, approaches, side and backwards flight and emer- gency procedures, the trainees may request a change in their MOS to the helicopter , ategory.

The first two stt ,,nts are Lieutenant Colonel R.N. Cline, Air Station X0, who is bound for MCAF Santa Ana, California this summer for further helicop- ter training, and former VMF-212 jet pilot Captain Homer E. Hire, who is now with the 1st Marine Brigade's supporting he- licopter squadron, Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron.

Saddened hearts are found in the vicinity of KMCAS this week as one of the most colorful Ma- rines departed for duty in the Western Pacific.

Master Gunnery Sergeant John T. Frye, known throughout the Marine Corp's for journalis- tic endeavors in base papers, is

MGySgt. Frye enroute to Camp Pendleton, Ca- lifornia, for assignment in an overseas billet.

Frye reported to Kaneohe during August, 1965, and assumed the duties as Information Chief. During this time he authored the column "Pot Poi" which was similar to the ()lie he wrote for the Beaufort, South Carolina "Jet Strearn"entitled "Southern Frye- d."

Brigade Celebrates Eleventh Anniversary

The Kaneohe-based 1st Ma- rine Brigade, the only known combat unit in the world in which air and ground elements live and train together under the "same roof," celebrated the 11th an- niversary of the unit's current activation May 1.

Under the command of Colonel

OP'

osainft, 41,411

D.H. Stapp, the Brigade is pre- sently comprised of a ground unit, 1st Battalion, 27th Marines; a, supporting helicopter squadron, Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron; a radar and radio unit,

Marine Air Control Squadron-2; and a F8 Crusader squadron, Marine All-Weather Fighter Squadron-212.

When the 1st Marine Brigade, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific, as- sumed it's title May 1, 1956, it marked the ninth time this Brigade has been restored; the first being January 1, 1901, in the Philippines.

Today, the Brigade has at- tached to its Battle Colors, 16 battle streamers with 36 silver bands for action. The colors have proudly flown over the Philip- pines, China, Cuba, Haiti, Ice- land, Guam and Korea.

During the Korean fighting, the Brigade was credited with saving the perimeter from los- ing the battle of "No Name Ridge." Brigade Marines, highly out-numbered, never failed to take their objectives. For these outstanding actions, the Brigade was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation.

Presently, the 1st Marine Brigade trains year-round and stands as an alert, ever-ready striking force, highly capable of moving quickly to any trouble spot in the Pacific.

A good example of this capa- bility came early in 1961 when the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 4th Marine Regiment and sup- porting units were diverted from the West Coast Operation "Green Light" and quickly moved to the troubled Far East, where they re- mained until the crisis, subsided.

An almost exact "repeat" of this happened to 1st Battalion, 5th Marines in 1965 when they were sent to Vietnam before they reached the shores of Camp Pendleton for Exercise "Silver Lance."

Lieutenant General Victor H. Krulak, Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific, commented to the members of the present Brigade saying "You have my hearty congratulations

and best wishes for the future. I am confident that no matter what the future holds, you will meet the challenge in the traditionally pro- fessional manner of the 1st Ma- rine Brigade."

Dodgers, Sox Little League Baseball start-

ed into its second week of play April 26, with the early league leaders sitting on top with un- blemished records.

The Dodgers are nesting on top of major league action with a perfect 3 and 0 record after downing the Tigers 6-1 in their encounter April 26. Wil Over- gaard stopped all Tiger hopes by fanning 13 batters and pitch- ing a two-hit game.

John Arthur kept the Orioles in the second spot of league standings as he connected for three hits in four trips to the plate, including a double and a home-run blast while driving in five Oriole runs as they whip- ped the Tigers 18-10 in a game filled with errors.

Former Ball Playing Marine Manages Hawaii Islanders

February 19, 1945, and if you were a Marine you had your hands full. Iwo Jima was on fire in the background. Leading the attack was the 2nd Armored Amphibian Battalion attached to the 3rd Marine Division. The landing craft neared the beach and the first tank rolled onto Iwo Jima.

The radio operator-machine gunner in that first tank was Marine Private First Class Wayne Terwilliger, currently manager for the Hawaii Island- er's AAA Baseball club.

A veteran of Taipan. Tinian and Iwo Jima, Terwilliger also found time to play baseball for the Marine Corps team on Maui and later on Saipan, after the island had been cleared.

While Waiting For Solo License Flying Club Member Learns Young

Another fledgling bird has flown the nest, however, this one used a Cessna 150.

Susanne Leis, daughter of KMCAS's Flying Club president, has had 15 flights with the club instructor. Ordinarily she would be well on her way toward solo-

SHADES OF AMELIA EARHART - Susanne Leis, youngest member of the KMCAS Flying Club, returns af- ter a flight.

ing, but FAA regulations refuse pilot licenses to those under 16 - she is only 14.

Susanne, a student in Kailua Intermediate's ninth grade is avidly interested in flying. Su- sanne plans to receive her li- cense on her 16th birthday, there- by insuring herself of at least a tie for youngest licensed pilot records. She whiles away the waiting period by doing secre- tarial work in the flying club office and, of course, flying as often as possible.

The K-Bay Flying Club, to which Susanne belongs, recently received its fourth plane. The T-34, a fully acrobatic aircraft currently in use as a training plane for Naval aviators, is av- ailable to club members who hold a private pilots license.

The new plane, joining two Cessna 150's and a Beechcraft, enable the 55 club member s to log more flying time. Of the current membership 15 have pri- vate pilots licenses and 17 others have solc-A. Three club mem- bers, who had never flown, have obtained private pilots license through the club for a compar- atively minimal total cost of $500.

Raised in Charlotte, Mich., "Twig" played for his high school baseball team prior to joining the Marine Corps. After dis- charge, he attended Western Mi- chigan University, where he star- red in basketball and baseball.

During his junior year in col- lege he signed with the Chicago Cubs of the American League. Af- ter breaking in with the Cubs, he served brief stints with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Washington Senators, and the New York Giants before finishing his play- ing career with the Kansas City Athletics.

His best year at the plate came at Kansas City where he batted .267, though his best all- around year was with the Giants during the '55-'56 season when he batted .257, but in his own words, "had a fine year in the field."

In 1961 he began managing and in the past five years he managed minor league clubs all over the country.

Terwilliger feels that this year's Islander ballclub's age will prove either its great strength or its great weakness. Composed primarily of veteran ballplayers, the Islanders will make few mistakes and should respond well in close games. For some of them,however,it will be a long haul to closing day.

Any baseball season holds many uncertainties but of one thing Islander fans can be sure, once a Marine, always a Ma- rine. The "Twig" won't snap under pressure.
