Three Marines with the Cherry Point mess hall were given the privilege to compete in the Chef of the Quarter competition June 27.

The fi rst place winner, with his Mexican style fried taco dish, was Pfc. Carlos Medi-narivas, a food service specialist with Marine Wing Support Squadron 271.

“The dish I chose was something I knew and could improve on,” said Medinarivas.

Medinarivas said the Chef of the Quarter competition was a great learning experience for him and opened doors into cooking he had not yet been able to explore.

Winning the title automatically qualifi es them to compete in the Chef of the Year. Win-ners of the Chef of the Year will be given a chance to study at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y.

“The Chef of the Quarter competition gives the Marines an opportunity to showcase their own skill set,” said Master Sgt. Danny O’Connell, the Headquarters and Headquar-ters Squadron food service liaison. “These

Marines, typically, are following the armed services recipe cards. This gives them the chance to make the food their way.”

Lance Cpl. David Sullivan, a competitor and food service specialist with H&HS, said the Chef of the Quarter competition gave him more freedom with his cooking.

“It’s not so by the book, because there is no book,” said Sullivan.

Sullivan came in third with a steak and shrimp plate.

Lance Cpl. Kerry Walton, a competitor and food service specialist with H&HS, came in second in the competition with a Jamaican style chicken dish.

The competitors were judged on style, taste and presentation. They also had to complete a job aptitude test on knowledge of their job.

The competition was close but in the end, Medinarivas prevailed.

Cherry Point mess hall personnel will host the fourth quarter Chef of the Quarter and the Chef of the Year competitions in the fall.

Cherry Point hosted the Steve Smith Football ProCamp Monday and Tuesday at the Marine Dome for more than 100 children ages 7-14.

Carolina Panthers Wide Receiver and fi ve-time Pro-Bowler Steve Smith, Camp Director Rod Huber and 10 of the area’s top football coaches lead the camp where the members participated in exercises that focused on the fundamental skills of football.

“I’m honored to be here today to support our military families,” said Smith. “I’m thrilled to be offering kids a chance to participate in our camps and promote the im-portance of choosing healthy alternatives.”

Football ProCamps have been happening across the na-tion.

“We’ve been running camps with about 75 professional athletes and with Steve Smith for about six years,” said Adam Ross, the president of ProCamps. “This is our fi rst time on a military installation and it’s great to bring some-thing to the kids because they will remember for years that they got to play football with Steve Smith.”

The installation was selected through a contest with commissaries throughout the country. Cherry Point was selected as one of three grand prize winners for selling the most Proctor & Gamble products.

“It was a complete surprise to all of us because we had no idea we were even in a contest,” said Phyllis Black, the store director for the air station’s commissary. “We’re breaking new ground here with this camp and I think it’s just fantastic that they can come out and support military families.”

As the camp was in full swing, family members of the young campers observed from the bleachers and some even braved the courts to photograph their child.

“I think this is a very good program to come to Cherry Point,” said Amy Martin-ali whose child was participat-ing in the camp. “I’m just glad to see something like this offered to the kids.”

With this being the fi rst time a Football ProCamp has arrived in the area, other family members were glad to see the program was well organized.

“They did a good job putting this together,” said Tina Smith whose child was also participating in the camp. “It’s also great to see how they got the Marines involved to help.”

Rod Huber, the head football coach at Mt. Saint Joe College in Cincinnati, sported a yellow cap and micro-phone directing all the campers and coaches throughout the entire camp.

“I’ve been doing this for nine years and it never ceases to amaze me,” said Huber. “It’s just an awesome expe-rience for the kids and a homerun for the military and families.”

The Marine Corps’ only C20G, named “The Ghost” drives through a “welcome home” water shower supplied by a pair of Aircraft, Rescue and Firefighting vehicles during its homecoming flight at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, June 13, 2013. The aircraft was welcomed with a homecoming party provided by the unit to celebrate the jet’s return. Service members and their families were able to board “The Ghost” to view its interior.

‘The Ghost’ returns to MCAS

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii – “The Ghost” landed on the runway at 4:15 p.m., June 13 at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay. The C-20 jet safely arrived after re-turning from an 11-month trip to St. Louis for maintenance.

After arriving in St. Louis, the jet under-went hull repairs and an avionics update.

“The Ghost” received its name after be-ing torn apart during a tornado and resur-rected by a work crew. “The Ghost” is the only C-20 jet the Marine Corps currently owns.

“This C-20 jet is the staple of (Kaneohe Bay),” said Sgt. Maj. Ernest Rose, ser-geant major of the air station. “The jet’s main mission is to transport senior en-listed and offi cers to their appointed place of duty.”

“The Ghost” is capable of fl ying world-wide and logs approximately 1,500 hours of fl ight time per year. A six-man crew maintains the jet and ensures the jet is ready for fl ight.

“We’re responsible for checking the jet balance, loading and unloading cargo and taking care of the passengers,” said Sgt. Mary Schloss, a loadmaster with Kaneohe Bay. “‘The Ghost’ is scheduled to make three fl ights a day since its return, and we’re the ones whose jobs are to make those trips run as smoothly as possible.”

The jet will participate in different mis-sions, and it will be used to provide extra fl ight time for pilots and simulate differ-ent scenarios that could occur in reality.

“It’s great to have ‘The Ghost’ back, and we’ll start training with it again soon,”

said Sgt. John Cook, a crew chief with the air station. “The maintenance crew will also practice loading procedures to help speed up the jet’s takeoff process.”

Even more, the “The Ghost” provides space available travel for military mem-bers.

Space-A travel is a means of transpor-tation for Department of Defense person-nel and military members, which is oper-ated by a military transport agency of the

DoD.“It’s just another great thing about this

jet,” Schloss said. “If we’re fl ying some-where and there’s seating available on the aircraft, then military members are able to occupy those extra spaces.”

After landing on the runway at Kaneo-he Bay, the unit celebrated the aircraft’s homecoming with food and beverages. Families of the crew fl ying “The Ghost” from St. Louis attended the celebration to

welcome home their loved ones.“Being a part of this unit and being able

to fl y aboard ‘The Ghost’ on a daily ba-sis is one of the greatest opportunities the Marine Corps has to offer,” Cook said. “The bottom line is we are happy to have ‘The Ghost’ back at (the air station), and we’re ready to get it back in the skies.”

Lance Cpl. James C. Dye, an aircraft ordnance technician with Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 242, loads an MK 76 practice munition onto an F/A-18D Hornet at Clark Air Base, Republic of the Philippines, June 11 during Exercise Haribon Tempest 2013.

CPL. VANESSA JIMENEZ

CLARK AIR BASE, Philippines – Ord-nance Marines with Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 242 worked hard during Exercise Haribon Tempest 2013 to help mission accomplishment.

HT13 took place June 10-14. The bilat-eral, small-scope training included close-air support, airborne forward air control, and dissimilar combat training in order to increase the profi ciency of Marine Aircraft Group 12 and the Philippine Air Force.

The ordnance Marines were with Ma-rine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 242 and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122.

Their job was to load jets with MK 76

practice bombs and Laser Guided Train-ing Rounds practice ordnance, check the ordnance and arm the jets before fl ights.

Being without their usual gear didn’t stop the Marines from ensuring jets made it into the air with munitions.

“We’ve had to rely on external sup-port here when transporting our ordnance back and forth from the storage area,” said Gunnery Sgt. Octavio Gomez, VMFA-122 ordnance staff noncommissioned offi cer in charge. “But, as Marines, we adapt and overcome, so we accepted the resources provided and met the mission just like we were supposed to.”

Even in their unusual situation, the Ma-rines worked tirelessly to ensure mission accomplishment.

“The difference between working in Iwakuni and here is waiting for other peo-ple to bring us the gear we usually have on a daily basis,” said Sgt. Ian Wheeler, an ordnance technician with VMFA(AW)-242. “We usually have that gear on hand all the time, so we had to utilize time man-agement more effi ciently. I think Marines adapt and overcome no matter what they do because everywhere we go is going to be different. As long as the Marines are trained well, they’ll fi gure out how to make it work.” Another benefi t of the training in-cluded furthering the job profi ciency and skills of the ordnancemen. “This is good for the Marines because they’re learning everything about the weapon systems and it’s helping them become more profi cient

in their jobs,” said Wheeler.“In Iwakuni, we don’t get the oppor-

tunity to deal with ordnance all the time. I defi nitely think this exercise is good training for groundside guys, the ordies that haven’t been here for very long, be-cause they’re getting the opportunity to be hands-on.”

HT13 helped maintain a high level of interoperability, enhanced military-to-military relations, and combined combat capabilities.

“My favorite part of my job is being able to put ordnance on jets and knowing the pilots are going out there and accom-plishing their mission,” said Wheeler. “It helps us all become more profi cient. I like being part of that big picture.”

Barracks bash unites MWHS-2 MarinesOn the enlisted Marine’s calendar, fi eld

day is usually the worst day of the week. Last Thursday, however, Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron 2 replaced the drudgery of constant cleaning with a more festive atmosphere.

The barracks Marines of the squadron got together for a Marine Fun Day, eating barbecue chicken and socializing with their peers, relaxing and taking a different tone for a fi eld day.

“Instead of cleaning up and hating life, you’re out there getting free food, free entertainment, you’re around your peers, you get to interact with your staff (noncommissioned offi cers) on a more personal level, so it brings the whole unit together,” said Cpl. Justine McPeters, the motor transportation chief of the squadron. “It builds that morale and camaraderie that units need in order to function correctly.”

The staff NCOs of the squadron organized the event and brought most of the food while some of the junior Marines set up the party venue in front of the

MWHS-2 barracks. Sgt. Maj. Scott D. Grade, the sergeant major of the squadron, said organizing events like this is how the senior leadership is supposed to take care of thier Marines.

“We had a family day and then the CO and I asked, ‘what can we do for the single Marines?’” said Grade. “About two months ago, we came up with a barbecue at the barracks. As staff NCOs, this is what we should be doing for the Marines. They work their tails off for us and we always expect more.”

Also deserving an honorable mention is Joey Haddoc, a civilian who donated and barbecued chicken for the event.

Events like this make the unit feel like an all-inclusive family for new Marines.

“I like it, everyone is really friendly, no one is scared to talk to anyone, it’s like a really tight family,” said Pfc. Kathy Vang, an administrative specialist who fi rst arrived on Cherry Point a month ago. “I’ve never felt left out since I’ve been here and everyone’s so nice, it doesn’t matter what their race, gender or age is, it doesn’t matter.”
