VICTORY IN NAWA: BUILDING A BETTER TOMORROWPAGE 6A

CPL. WALTER D. MARINO II2nd Marine Division

At an altitude of approximately 5,000 feet above sea level, it’s easy to get winded. Add in freezing temperatures, strong winds and a 70-pound pack and you have the con-ditions that Marines from 2nd Air-Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, II Marine Ex-peditionary Force, trained in for more than three weeks aboard Camp Guernsey Army Air Field, Wyo., recently.

The distinct climate was chosen for a reason. Wyoming has striking similarities to Afghanistan in both cold weather and rugged terrain. These conditions proved to be optimal for preparing the unit for an up-coming deployment to Afghanistan. Their senior leadership also explained they want-

ed to get away from possible distractions. With nothing but open plains and hills as far as the horizon, it’s quite possible they succeeded.

“The terrain and weather is very ben-eficial,” said Sgt. Al Porter, a role play-ing insurgent, 2nd ANGLICO. “It’s great preparation for combat situations and they get hands-on experience.”

ANGLICO works as a liaison between the Marine Air-Ground Task Force and al-lied forces. They provide organized teams that embed with coalition units to coor-dinate fire support. During their training, these four to six-man teams were vigor-ously tested.

For their final evaluation, the troops were given a two-day event consisting of 20 different exercises, covering around 19

miles of terrain, at elevations more than 5,000 feet above sea level.

The various exercises tested them both mentally and physically. They were asked to navigate through the mountains, endure the freezing temperatures and run through several scenarios at each station.

On the second exercise, a group of six Marines patrolled to their training location very cautiously. An eerie barn heightened their awareness. When a role player exit-ed the barn asking for medical aid, Capt. Craig T. Fitzhugh, supporting arms liaison leader, 2nd ANGLICO, felt something was amiss.

“We decided not to take the road and go up over by a ridge where there was a little cover and (so) we could see what’s going on. At that time, a role-playing lo-

cal national, flagged us down,” said Fit-zhugh. “Something seemed off – he knew we were coming, which set off a red flag in my mind. He was trying to entice us to go into the ranch to help his friend Bob and I told him I thought it would be safer to stay out here and asked him to bring Bob out to us.”

Fitzhugh’s decision saved his group from an ambush of role-playing insurgents who awaited them in the barn. Although they made a great decision, the exercise didn’t end there. After the avoided ambush, a medical evacuation scenario was given to the Marines. They had an injured civilian that needed to be moved to an evacuation location.

The task seemed simple enough except

Coalition forces hosted a celebration in ob-servance of the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha at Camp Leatherneck, Helmand province, Nov. 6.

Eid al-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Mus-lims worldwide to commemorate the willing-ness of Abraham to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, as an act of obedience to God. The festival nor-mally lasts for three days.

Distinguished guests included Maj. Gen. John A. Toolan, commanding general, Region-al Command Southwest, Sgt. Maj. Michael F. Jones, Regional Command Southwest, and Brig. Gen. Nicholas Welch, deputy command-er, Regional Command Southwest.

“Sharing of cultural information while be-ing so far away from our families, (and) learning about other ethnic backgrounds (can help us) to respect each other and become closer with those in America, which is such a diverse soci-

ety,” said Qamaruddian Jabarkhiel, RC (SW) cultural adviser, who was born in Afghanistan but is now a resident of Fairfax, Va.

“I think as Marines learning about the cul-ture and the people of Afghanistan is very important because by showing we care about them has a huge effect in a positive way,” said Lance Cpl. Lauren Kohls, a Marine attending the ceremony.

Muslims in attendance put on their best clothing and danced to celebrate Eid. There was plenty of traditional Afghan food, but guests seemed keener on dancing than sitting to enjoy their food.

“It is a way to celebrate the event for those who are far away from home,” said Humira Farooty, an enthusiastic dancer. “There will be dinner and then the traditional dance.”

The event began with music, then Muslims and military officials in attendance gathered for a brief history of Eid. Afterward, the coali-tion forces and Afghans sat down for the meal. Some coalition guests dressed in traditional Af-ghan attire to show their support.

“We try to embrace the Afghan culture as much as we can and by wearing the Afghan clothing, it is a way of showing we are trying to understand,” explained Kohls. “Being here and seeing the festival is a great opportunity because we work with Afghans all day, every day and we don’t always get to experience what their life is like.”

CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

He grasped his rifle in a steady port arms position, his eyes not focused on those around him, but locked forward for the task at hand. He marched briskly forward, the points of his cover slicing through the chilly morning air. At his mark, he executed a left-face and stood at-ease, holding his position as his 18th century Continental Marines uniform drew the eyes of the hun-dreds of onlookers around him.

The showing of historical uni-forms of the past generations of Marines was one of the corner-stone events conducted during the annual Joint Daytime Cer-emony, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and tenant commands’ celebration of the Marine Corps birthday, at Liversedge Field aboard the base, Nov. 9.

“This ceremony is all about the customs, courtesies and traditions of our Marine Corps,” said Sgt. Maj. William C. Rice, sergeant major of MCB Camp Lejeune. “Marines from across the base come together to reflect on the Corps’ history and how the tra-ditions we practice today won’t change with age.”

The ceremony started with the marching and presentation of the

various color guards of all tenant commands aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, including Naval Hospi-tal Camp Lejeune and the Joint Maritime Center. After all were in position, the historical pageant was held, showcasing a total of 15 uni-form variations, beginning with the original garb first worn in 1775 and concluding with the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniforms Marines wear today. An in-depth character-ization was read by the ceremony’s narrator for each uniform adap-tion, describing the various con-flicts each uniform saw and what notable Marines wore them.

“A lot of Marines don’t know the history behind our uniforms and the changes they’ve gone through,” said Staff Sgt. Lacostia Powell, supply chief with Combat Logistics Regiment 25, 2nd Ma-rine Logistics Group. “I feel it’s important to their professional de-velopment that the young Marines know about them, as well as the other traditions we have.”

Following the pageant, the “roll call of honor” was sounded as taps was played by a lone bugler. Par-ticipants and attendees bowed their heads in remembrance for the Ma-rines of the past and present lost.

The final event for the ceremo-ny was the cake presentation and cutting, in which a three-tiered cake was presented to Col. Daniel

J. Lecce, commanding officer of MCB Camp Lejeune, and Rice, who proceeded to cut and present a slice of birthday cake to the old-est and youngest Marines present, being Col. Grover Lewis, assis-tant chief of staff for Security and Emergency Services Department, Marine Corps Installations Com-mand East, and Pfc. Alicia Aven-dano, clerk with the Administra-tive Service Center, Headquarters Battalion, School of Infantry – East.

“The whole thing really opens your eyes to how set we are in our traditions,” said Pfc. Robert Twining, student at the Logistics Operations School aboard Camp Johnson. “My father retired from the Marine Corps after 22 years of service, and after hearing how to-day’s ceremony was, he said noth-ing about it has changed, just as all of our Corps’ traditions.”

As the ceremony concluded and the various color guards and pag-eant Marines marched off the field, attendants were not only given a show of history and birthday cel-ebration, but also reminded of ev-erything the Marine Corps stands for and will continue to stand for. Traditions, like the Marines them-selves, will ensure the succeeding generations of war fighters do not lose sight of what makes the Corps the forefront of America’s military.

American Red Cross Dental Assistant ProgramThe Dental Assistant Program provides volunteers with valuable skills through hands-on training. The program is offered at least twice a year, usually in the fall and spring, by the 2nd Dental Battalion and the American Red Cross. The program is limited to 12 participants. Participants are selected by an in-terview panel. All participants in the program must be ARC volunteers and must meet the following

eligibility requirements: military identifi cation card holder; have a High School diploma, GED or autho-rized equivalent; must be at least 18 years of older; complete the ARC volunteer orientation, to include

a successful background check, 75 hours of volunteering and have a current cardiopulmonary resuscita-tion /fi rst aid certifi cation (to be provided by 2nd Dental Battalion or ARC as available), HIPAA and im-munizations appropriate for working in a medical fi eld (to be provided by 2nd Dental Battalion or ARC

Tar Heel students assist MarinesIn cooperation with the office of

the Staff Judge Advocate, Marine Corps Installations Command East, law students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have established a program to assist ser-vice members concerning consumer issues. Through this program, UNC Chapel Hill law students, under the supervision of MCIEAST military le-gal assistance counsel, help aggrieved consumers prepare sworn statements describing their plight, and follow up with complaints to the appropriate federal or state agencies, such as the North Carolina attorney general, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau or the Federal Trade Commission.

Collecting documents and prepar-ing a detailed statement addressing the factual and legal issues concern-ing a bad car deal, a landlord tenant dispute, a contract for purchase and finance of consumer electronics, or other consumer issue can be very time consuming, so much that legal

assistance attorneys may not have the time for it. Or, if they do, legal assis-tance attorneys provide such assis-tance only at the cost of making other clients wait longer to be seen. For these and other reasons, consumer abuse is woefully, chronically, under reported.

However, such time consuming work is exactly what is needed to doc-ument the problems for enforcement agencies, for regulatory and legisla-tive authorities considering new rules, for military authorities to consider off limits designation and to resolve the individual complaint. That’s where our Tar Heel friends step in to help. If a client consents, a law student will be assigned to the case and will make telephone contact with the client. Af-ter discussion, the law student will draft a statement, enclose relevant documents such as contracts, appli-cations, bills, advertisements and de-mand notices, and send them to the legal assistance attorney. The client

will then review the statement in per-son with the attorney and sign it. The attorney, or the law student under the attorney’s supervision, will then take the next logical step, file complaints with appropriate agencies.

The collection of this information from many consumers also helps to determine whether an unfortunate consumer encounter is an isolated incident or part of a pattern of de-ceptive or unfair business practices. Further, such information helps legal assistance attorneys and others un-derstand business practices to better inform service members and to avoid victimization.

Tar Heel law students also assist with legal research projects assigned by military legal assistance counsel.

New law student assignments will not be made after today to allow for the holidays, semester break, and of course, to ensure that students can fo-cus on final exams. This budding pro-gram will begin anew in January.

CPL. KATHERINE M. SOLANO2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

As Opera-tion East-ern Storm continues in the up-

per Sangin Valley of Hel-mand province, Afghani-stan, Marines and sailors with 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Lo-gistics Group (Forward), conducted multiple route repairs throughout early November.

Operation Eastern Storm began in October as the Marines of 1st Battal-

ion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (For-ward) routed the Taliban from Sangin to Kajaki – the last enemy stronghold in Helmand province – in an effort to secure Route 611.

The engineers moved slowly and methodically along the route between Patrol Base Alcatraz and the Kajaki Dam. The area was previously im-passable in some areas due to erosion and im-provised explosive device damage. Not only did 7th ESB help to improve and repair the road, but they also helped to build mul-tiple observation posts along the route.

Marines planned to build several observation posts, including a com-mand outpost and a for-ward operating base, said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Brandon Smith, the of-ficer in charge of heavy weapons platoon, Secu-rity Company, 7th ESB.

“First Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment now mans all those positions and holds the route from PB Alcatraz to the dam so we could come in and build and repair the route,” Smith continued. “Now, commercial trucks can start transporting the prop-er materials and assets up to the dam for the turbine

work they have to do there to start producing more electricity in the area.”

According to the United States Agency for Interna-tional Development, this turbine will be the third in an ongoing project to bring more reliable power and ir-rigation to both Helmand and Kandahar provinces.

The additional turbine is key to growth in the area and will allow the dam to provide enough electric-

ity to some of the farther-reaching villages of Hel-mand province, said Staff Sgt. Davison Slivers, the 7th ESB motor transport platoon staff noncommis-sioned officer in charge, as he explained how impor-tant the route improvement project is.

The work the Marines are performing in prepara-tion for the upgrade in the region’s infrastructure has also improved relationships

with the local Afghans, as evidenced by their positive reaction to the Marines and convoy operations.

“Every day we go out on the road, we see little kids, people waving. We are actually making a difference for the people here, even on a small lev-el. We have made routes to places locals couldn’t even get to before with vehicles. It has improved a lot,” concluded Slivers.

CPL. MEREDITH BROWNII Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward)

Over the last two years, Camp Leatherneck, locat-ed in Helmand province, has dramatically evolved. When Marines and their Navy counterparts first started building the base, it was a mere 400 acres. Now, at more than 1,600 acres, the base serves as the main hub for all units operating within Regional Command Southwest’s Helmand and Nimruz provinces.

Departing and arriv-ing units complete their turnovers and sustainment training at Camp Leather-neck before heading out to the different forward oper-ating and patrol bases, as well as combat outposts within RC (SW).

Camp Leatherneck is one of the largest Marine forward operating bases in history. The camp regularly services more than 19,000 U.S., coalition troops and civilian personnel, said Gunnery Sgt. Peter Mc-Collough, the base opera-tions chief. The base began being built up under the command of 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade-Af-ghanistan in early 2009, and has continued to evolve, he explained.

The camp serves as the headquarters for Task Forc-es Belleau Wood, Helmand and Leatherneck, and has a robust command and con-trol aspect, he added.

Additionally, U.S. and coalition forces operate on neighboring base, Camp Bastion. The joint forces work together to run the airfield and hospital, which are both located on Camp Bastion.

With more than 3,000 facilities on base, Camp Leatherneck can now eas-ily be described as a self-sustained city, with the

closest comparison being Al Asad, Iraq. They both have served as regional headquarters with large airfields and command and control centers. It is the constant moving parts of Camp Leatherneck that make operating smoothly a continuous task.

Marines at the Camp Commandant’s office work to ensure the necessary du-ties are completed each day.

McCollough and his 21 Marines are responsible for the dozens of tasks in-volved in keeping the base functioning. Everything from laundry and waste water removal to the deliv-ery of non-potable water is completed each day.

With them making sure everything on base is running smoothly, Camp Leatherneck continues to evolve to meet the war fighter’s needs.

“We can still expand an-other 400 to 600 acres, but we want to grow systemati-cally,” said Philip Russo, the Camp Leatherneck architect master planner. “We don’t want to grow just because we have the space, we want to grow because there is a reason. Having the foresight and ability to assign units where they go and grow properly, was a big keystone for Leatherneck.”

Russo arrived at Camp Leatherneck in June 2009 and has since played a lead role in the development and expansion of the base.

“It has been continu-ally changing,” Russo said. “We don’t just operate from a functional perspective, but we account for troops outside the wire. When they come back, they are able to recuperate and get their heads together and live properly.”

Even with the respon-sibility of building what some may say is similar to

a small city in a combat zone, Russo credits most of Camp Leatherneck’s successes to the continuity between the service mem-bers and contractors on the base.

“It’s not just one person deciding what happens,” Russo continued. “It’s thousands of people mak-

ing a difference, doing the right thing at the right time for the right reason. That is why Leatherneck is the way it is. It’s a whole lot of people doing a whole lot of the right thing.”

Retiree TRICARE is under siege again. The 12-member congressional panel that must come up with $1.2 trillion in budget cuts by Thanksgiving has been handed a plan that exceeds the savings goal – and includes cuts in defense, retired pay and health care benefits. The panel has a plan called the “Grand Bargain,” which includes $50 billion in additional defense cuts, $22 billion saved through increases in TRICARE premiums and prescription drug co-pays, and $4 billion saved through unspecific “reform” of the military retired pay. The change in the factors, which determines Consumer Price Index, are being considered in an attempt to lower CPI and therefore lower the cost of living allowance determined by the CPI. We must be very cognizant of the proposals and need to contact our representatives to stop the eroding of benefits for retirees.

When contacting legislators, be aware of their stance and position on retiree

concerns. Senator John McCain, rank-ing member of the Senate Armed Ser-vice Committee, sent a letter to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction otherwise known as the Super Commit-tee, recommending that military retirees be switched from TRICARE Prime to TRICARE Standard and that TRICARE Prime coverage be exclusively for active duty and their families. New details of Sen. McCain’s plan reveal that it would require retirees using TRICARE Standard to pay 28 percent of the cost estimated to cost a retiree $1,500 and $3,500 for a retiree fam-ily in the first year and would increase ev-ery year according to health care inflation rate, not COLA. The proposal, obtained from a March 2011 Congressional Bud-get Office report, would increase the cata-strophic cap from the current $3,000 to $7,500. Further, the proposal would ban TRICARE Standard coverage for retirees with civilian employee coverage.

Sunlight crept silently through the windows lin-ing the walls of the Loy Kolay precinct, an Afghan National Army security outpost, as the Marines and sailors awoke, each nudging the soundly sleeping ser-vice member next to him. Their legs sore from the previous day’s hike more than 14 kilometers, their shoulders strained from the weight of their body armor, the service members of 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regi-ment, 2nd Marine Division (Forward) prepared for another day of patrolling across the district with their Afghan counterparts.

The patrol joined Af-ghan Lt. Col. Gul Ahmad, commanding officer of 1st Kandak, 1st Brigade, 215th Corps, and Lt. Col. Tyler Zagurski, commanding offi-cer of 1st Battalion, 9th Ma-rines, recently in a four-day expedition across the district called the Nawa Victory Walk. The patrol demon-strated the safety and secu-rity achieved in the area and allowed the leaders to speak with local residents and key leaders, assessing problems and celebrating successes along the way. The second day of the Nawa Victory Walk would be a proposed 12 kilometers.

The day began with a groundbreaking ceremony for the Hayanak Health Clinic, outside the gates of the precinct. Prominent members of the Nawa com-munity arrived to cut the rib-bon and lay the ceremonial foundation bricks, including district governor Haji Abdul Manaf and Haji Hayatul-lah, an Afghan Local Police commander and local coun-cil member. The Marines and Afghan soldiers joined together to provide security

during the ceremony.“The building of the

health clinic is one of the many reasons Nawa is ready for transition,” said Zagur-ski. “The clinic is a good example of success for the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in that the governor, elders, and GIRoA officials all agreed upon the site and the direc-tor of health certified the site. It will be a great success for the area to have its own basic health clinic.”

The day’s patrol began after the ceremony con-cluded and officials ate an early lunch at the Loy Kolay precinct. The ANA soldiers and Marines patrolled five kilometers to their first stop at Patrol Base Wrightsman. The road along the way held many conversations with local police patrolmen and area residents.

“One of the successes of our patrol is to see the local residents of Nawa accept Af-ghan National Security Force leadership,” said Zagurski. “As Marines take a step back in security responsibilities, we’ve seen a strong bond between the local popula-tion and ANSF and GIRoA leadership, which is one of the key indicators that they are ready for transition.”The patrolling party continued along a deep canal, past corn fields and distant mud com-pounds. Children ran to the advancing group in wonder, greeting the combined forces. “The people have been wav-ing all day at us,”said Sea-man Ian B. White, a corps-man with 1st Battalion, 9th Marines. “The way people react differs from place to place, but we try to make a good appearance no matter where we go.”

The troupe made its sec-ond stop at Patrol Base Sopar Dostan, nine kilometers into the day’s patrol. Afghan Lo-cal Police offered chai tea and were very welcoming to

the visiting soldiers and Ma-rines. After a quick repose from the rigorous patrolling, the Afghan and American security detachments were on their feet ready to finish the day with a final three-kilometer movement.

It was a short patrol, yet it took the troops from cornfields as far as the eye could see and sparse mud compounds to a bustling marketplace. The town of Khalaj, comprised of many closely knit, single-story buildings, enveloped the pa-trolling group. Motorbikes and bicycles raced between stands filled with fruit and intricately-woven cloth for sale. Eyes turned toward the ANSF - led patrol as it moved through the town, and many local residents gathered to speak to the ad-vancing party.

Patrol Base Jaker stood on

the far side of the town; the patrol made its way to the entrance and filed in through the gates. ‘Doc White’ was on them within moments, checking their feet and mak-ing sure everyone was in good health to continue the patrol through the Nawa Dis-trict the next few days.

A few hours of rest at Jaker gave the soldiers and Marines time to relax, as the sun began to set over the ho-rizon.

In the evening, when little more than moonlight lit the base’s walkways, the district governor hosted a dinner for several of the vis-iting Marines. Chicken, rice and bread graced the plates of those in attendance and Zagurski, accompanied by the kandak commander, spoke with the governor on the day’s successes and the needs of Nawa.

“Education and the rule of law are the most impor-tant thing for the commu-nity,” said Manaf, his hands passionately gesturing in the air. “We have to be able to serve justice by having good prosecutors and legislators. Overall, the men and wom-en of Nawa are happy.”

When the meal ended, the Marines thanked their gracious host and took their leave. Two days separated them from the finish of their trek across Nawa, and they would need their rest to ac-complish the mission.

Editor’s note: This is the second installment in a four-part series chroni-cling a trek across Nawa District called the Nawa Victory Walk, a four-day, 30-mile patrol by Marines and Afghan National Army soldiers. First

Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, is currently assigned to Regimental Combat Team 5 in 2nd Marine Division (For-ward), 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 Govern-ment of the Islamic Re-public of Afghanistan to conduct counterinsurgen-cy operations. The unit is dedicated to securing the Afghan people, defeat-ing insurgent forces, and enabling ANSF assump-tion of security respon-sibilities within its area of operations in order to support the expansion of stability, development and legitimate governance.

for two variables. The location was in a clearing almost a mile up a hill and the injured man weighed 250 pounds.

I’m lucky I got good Marines and strong guys, it’s just basic Marine stuff – and Marines don’t quit,” said Fitzhugh, who has deployed twice to Afghanistan. “What I told them the night before is to go in with the mindset like we’re going to combat. We’re training for war. So I said, ‘Gentlemen, when we go out tomorrow I want you to act like you’re in combat and perform like you would in combat because you train like you fight. The more you put into an exercise like this the more you’re going to get out of it.’”

Strained faces signaled the weight was difficult to bear. Although already carrying packs that varied in weight from 45-70 pounds, the Marines managed to push on. As the team worked up the hill, snow began to fall and hot air puffed from their mouths like little steam engines, working together to reach the summit.

“It was hard physically, because I’m short,” said Lance Cpl. Andrew D. Kim, fire support man, 2nd ANGLICO, with a smile. “But mentally it was harder because I didn’t want to fail my team. It was all extremely hard, but I put my mindset as if I was in Afghanistan. I wouldn’t give up, because in the end if I fail, someone might get hurt. So I had that mindset when I was going up the hill.”

As the team reached the clearing atop the hill, the group successfully defended their position from an attack and evacuated the injured. Over the course of the two-day event and three weeks of training, the Marines gained experi-ences in patrolling, conducting medical evacuations, radio communication efficiency and various other skills neces-sary for their military occupational specialty. The experi-ence gained through the training was a testament to why the Marines had traveled specifically to Wyoming.

CPL. TIMOTHY SOLANO2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

The cold desert was an unforgiving venue for Embedded Partnering Team, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), as they convoyed across the Afghan plains recently to escort the Afghan National Army’s 215th Corps Logistics Battal-ion from Kabul to Camp Shorabak, a satellite installation of Camp Leatherneck in Helmand province.

Operating “outside the wire” is crucial to the EPT’s mission of partnered engagement, in which they teach the ANA soldiers everything from weapons handling to sup-ply management to vehicle maintenance.

“Shoulder to Shoulder,” as the unit’s motto suggests, was the key element in moving the basically trained ANA soldiers more than 440 miles toward Helmand province. Throughout the movement, the fundamentals that have been taught and will continue to be developed among the soldiers were exhibited.

“It’s extremely important that these guys learn to un-derstand their own equipment,” said Sgt. Matthew Wight-man, one of the EPT’s communications advisers. “With a trip like this one, the mission relied on communications with the ANA vehicles, so that we could coordinate as the route progressed.”

Additional factors led to the safe arrival of the Marines and ANA soldiers, such as preventative maintenance to weapon systems and vehicles. Each measure taken is a precautionary step that could ultimately save the life of a Marine or Afghan soldier.

“The big things we focus on are pre-combat inspections and making sure that (the ANA) look over their vehicles,” said Cpl. Joshua Stark, a motor transportation mentor with the EPT. “As Marines, it’s something that we are accustomed to doing all the time and they aren’t used to doing it as often. If we can get these guys to start doing the same, we will run into a lot fewer issues when we go outside the wire.”

Each morning, after windows were cleaned, weapons maintained and vehicles inspected, the two militaries re-sumed the journey, maneuvering past craters in the road from past improvised explosive devices and spats of small arms fire.

For Marines and ANA soldiers alike, the convoy pro-vided an eye-opening look into the ruthlessness of the Taliban-led insurgency in Afghanistan, highlighted by a diminished infrastructure caused by IEDs and combat.

“When you go outside the wire you become more aware of what’s really going on here,” said Stark. “To see a huge crater where a road used to be makes you stop and think ‘Man, that could have been me.’”

On this trip, the convoy encountered no conflict, howev-er, and the soldiers arrived safely at Camp Shorabak. Over the course of the next few months, the Afghan soldiers will work with the EPT Marines to enhance their military skills as the country begins to further transition toward indepen-dence, all the while working “shoulder to shoulder.”

Most people hope to leave a legacy. It is human nature to desire to be remembered, long after we are gone. It’s not uncommon to hear somebody say they hope they leave their mark on society in some way, shape or form.

Whether for strength, character or something else entirely, we all want to be remembered.

It was with the heart of remembrance that veterans from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9133 gathered to pay homage to one of their own, Friday, in a way that he would have most certainly approved of.

An avid golfer, the late Sgt. Maj. Tom McHugh was one of the top “who’s who” in Marine Corps history. Serving as the 3rd sergeant major of the Marine Corps from 1962 to 1965, McHugh is remembered for both his excellence within the Corps and on the greens. It is the memory of him with his putter in hand that brought together more than 50 veterans, active-duty service members and military dependents for the 12th annual

Sgt. Maj. Tom McHugh Memorial Golf Tournament.

“This is our 12th year holding the tournament and it has always been in memory of Sgt. Maj. McHugh,” said Ron Rang. “We also held a memorial ceremony prior to the event and recognized his family.”

Rang, a retired master sergeant, estimated that the event drew a crowd that consisted mainly of veterans of all ages, from colonels to privates, to enjoy a day on the green.

“Not everybody here is a member of our (Veterans of Foreign Wars) post,” explained Rang. “A lot of the guys out here are from VFW Post 9133, but not everyone. We have wives and other people who came out as well.”

After participants checked in at the registration table and received their team and cart assignment, they milled around with each other, eating breakfast sandwiches and knocking back sodas and coffee before heading over to the putting green to perfect their swings.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. 2B NOVEMBER 17, 2011

As the National Basketball Association lockout drags on and both sides continue to com-plain about how much they are losing out, I find myself growing more frustrated with the entire NBA.

I am not going to try to justify or make sense of the NBA lockout. I’m not going to analyze why the owners and players feel the way they do, nor will I keep a running tally of all the ways either side is being wronged or los-ing out.

I will however, agree with the ever-growing percentage of people who are getting tired of hear-ing about the lockout.

I’m not saying that the arguments made on either side are worthless. I’m just saying I’m fed up with watching a small handful of affluent people whine because they want a few more dollars to add to their already billion-dollar bank accounts.

While the majority of America is struggling to survive paycheck to paycheck, NBA players and owners have shown their arrogance by fight-ing with each other over who gets enough extra money to buy another car this year.

Increasingly, I am tired of hearing the players’ positions, the owners’

positions and the league’s newest plan to try to bring the lockout to an end. Instead of car-ing, I am starting

to wonder what kind of bubble these athletes and owners must live in that they cannot see past their arguments and into the real world, where the rest of us live.

For no more than a few extra bucks a year, the league has put their entire season on the line for failing to reach a deal. That’s equivalent to pitch-ing eight innings of a no-hitter and then refusing the pitch the ninth just because you got bored.

Even if an agreement can be reached, I hesitate to believe that it will do much good now that the season has already lost so much momentum.

The damage has al-ready been done. While players and owners have been arguing over who gets how much, millions of dollars have been lost. That’s money that the league could have made if they could stop arguing long enough to see that their “negotiations” aren’t getting them anywhere.

Every time I hear David Stern launch into another explanation of how management hopes to end the lockout, I roll my eyes. I’m not trying to be rude, but I think it’s a little late to be thinking about what else can be done to save the season.

Meanwhile, there are

players in the next room talking about how unfair their wages are and how they are not receiving what they deserve.

As both sides argue about what is “fair,” I wonder how many Amer-icans would take what the players and owners consider to be unfair and accept it without a second thought.

I look at two hard working parents who struggle to raise their three children in a two bedroom house while liv-ing on a combined salary of $30,000. That’s not fair.

I look at the young Marine on my street who struggles to make ends meet for his wife and child and think he deserves much more than he is paid.

I’m sure many hard-working Americans would take one glimpse at an owner’s salary and be happy to accept a portion of what an NBA owner makes in the course of a year.

The thing is, now that the players have disband-ed, this dispute is going to get uglier. It’s going to continue on. More games will be canceled and more money will be lost as players and owners pre-pare for the legal battle ahead of them.

More frustrated and fed up players are going to reach the ends of the ropes and leave the NBA for teams abroad.

More arenas will keep their doors closed and hope for just one game to come through, bringing a booming crowd to the building and employees who struggle without it.

More irritated fans will

give up, stop listening and start focusing on some-thing else.

I heard Stern comment that he feels bad for the night workers who are suffering as a result of the lockout and he hopes an agreement can be reached soon.

The quickly said state-ment was followed by Stern’s hopes that the families of players and owners could hold on until an agreement could be reached.

I don’t feel bad for the players, the owners or the league itself. I do, how-ever, agree with Stern on his earlier remark.

I feel bad for the ticket ripper who is out of work right now while he waits for Stern and Hunter to figure out who deserves what.

I feel bad for the man who slings hotdogs at the concessions stand, the woman who sells T-shirts and the guard who works in the parking lot to make sure that traffic enters and exits the arena smoothly.

But for players? No, I don’t feel bad that they are losing their season. They’re doing it to them-selves.

For the owners? Again, I don’t feel any remorse for their plight. They have plenty of fight left in them and I’m sure their families will manage to hang on through the lockout.

I wonder how much longer it will take before the NBA will realize that the rest of us don’t share their concern over who gets to go on a fancy va-cation or who gets to buy a brand new car this year.

We’re more concerned with paying our rent.

There is no way around it – weather drastically affects fishing.

Over the past few months, the weather has been problematic. Due to an unseasonably cold winter in 2010 and the earlier than expected summer heat, anglers have had a hard time making consistent catches.

Recently, Mother Nature gave anglers a break, complete with clear skies, crystal water and spectacular weather. The recent change has paid off for many fishermen, who are finally catching something other than seaweed and oyster shells.

The end of fall always marks the beginning of the speckled trout run, and the speckled trout have gotten off to a great start. Jetties, creeks, marshes, inlets and surf have proven to all be excellent spots to catch speckled trout. The speckled trout have also been showing up in vast

numbers in some other local hot spots, like Fort Macon, Radio Island, The Haystacks and Brown’s Inlet.

Recently, I have discovered that most people do not view fishing as

a sport. However, it is a very technical sport, based on pre-set concepts that must be mastered. Anglers cast, feel, jerk, reel and hope they catch something worthwhile. Reacting appropriately to nonverbal cues of the rod and hook is an important part of successful fishing. The more tactile input an angler has, the more fish that angler will catch.

Conventional monofilament is like a rubber band. With a baited and weighted line stretched in the water, the stretch provided by a bite puts more strain on the already tight line.

Low-stretch lines have virtually no stretch when stressed. This allows anglers to feel more of what is happening below the surface of the water. The faster an angler can identify the difference between the motion of the water and a fish tugging on the end of his line, the faster the hook can be set and the more

fish that can be caught. Drum have also

populated the Lookout jetties, and some sea mullet have been popping up near the Dead Tree Hole area, but their numbers are dwindling, so interested anglers should get a move on if they hope to catch any of the late-season sea mullet who are making their exit to spawn off shore in the deeper and cooler waters.

The false albacore still remain a mystery, although a few did show along the beach outside of Beaufort Inlet, recently. However, despite the limited appearance of the false albacore, most are still staying out of the picture, causing anglers to wonder where they are and if they will ever grace the coast with their presence.

Flounder can still be found on the coast. They are still populating the areas around the sounds and creeks, the port wall and artificial reefs right off shore. Very few are hanging around the piers these days, but it’s not unheard of for an angler to snag a nice flounder from the surf or the end of the pier.

When it comes to piers, the coastal region has seen a lot of activity recently, with the clearing waters and calm seas.

Oceanana Pier reported plenty of trout and puffer catches last week.

Bogue Pier had a little

of everything. From large puffers, blues, sea mullet, drum, flounder, pompano, trout, skates and rays, Bogue Pier has been a real flurry of activity for anglers.

Seaview Pier has seen catches of black drum, sea mullet, puffers and trout and is looking toward the next week with certainty that they will continue to see increased catches.

In addition to the opportunity to enjoy great fishing on the shore, the calm weather has given anglers the chance to get in their boats and head off shore, where the wahoo bite is still strong and the fish are swimming in large pods. Wahoo can be found almost anywhere from the rock jetties to the Swansboro hole, which bodes well for fishermen of all skill levels. There is a weight limit of 40 to 60 pound fish, which is important for anglers to remember when reeling in their catches.

It is important for anglers to note that there is now a four-fish per day limit for speckled trout, which must have a minimum length of 14 inches.

Standing strong and overcoming challenges was part of the regular routine for the Lejeune High School Devil Pups’ fall sports teams this season, but they came out on the other side of every challenge stronger and more determined than before.

To celebrate the achievements of the season, student athletes, coaches, teachers and parents gathered at Lejeune High School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune for a fall sports awards night.

With the fall sports season coming to a close and the winter sports season just around the corner, it seemed fitting that student athletes and their supporters join together to commemorate their achievements.

Women’s TennisAfter finishing their conference season with five wins

and only one loss, and their regular season with 12 wins and two losses, the women’s tennis team took on Dixon High School in the playoffs. Both teams took one match each and had to face off again, which led to Dixon’s defeat of the Devil Pup’s.

However, due to their excellent 12-2 season record, the LHS women’s tennis team was named co-champions of the Coastal Plains Conference. In addition, Krissy O’Brien was named Coastal Plains Conference player of the year and Cassie Thompson was named number two in the confer-ence.

“It’s no small feat, what our girls overcame to get where they ended up this year,” said head coach Melissa Olson as she presented LHS principal Eric Steimel with the confer-ence championship trophy.

After studying their comprehensive season statistics, Olson named Krissy O’Brien most valuable player and Katherine Bradley, most improved player of the season. Cait Cobb won the tennis team sportsmanship award for her good attitude on and off the court.

“Get prepared, Mr. Steimel,” Olson said. “Next year, we’re coming back harder, faster and stronger.”

VolleyballThe junior varsity volleyball team “performed as

expected,” according to coach Jackie Wagner. As a testa-ment to their hard work and dedication to the team, three of the girls on the JV team were moved to the varsity team midway through the season.

“I’ve seen these girls learn and appreciate the game more each time and that’s something that I’m proud of them for,” explained Wagner. “Our most valuable player, Azaia Wal-lace, stepped up when we needed her and moved to varsity to lend a hand wherever she could.”

The JV team sportsmanship award was presented to Melissa Hussey and the most improved player award was given to Riley Hart.

The girls varsity volleyball team was praised by their head coach, June Kellum, who vowed to go with them anywhere they wanted to go and coach for as long as they wanted her to.

“Athletically, these are the very best girls anybody could ever ask for,” Kellum told the crowd as she handed out let-ters and pins. “After conditioning football for a lot of years, I forgot how different it is to coach girls. But, they taught me a lot this year and I’m thankful to have had the chance to coach them.”

Kellum presented the MVP award to Caitlyn Stables, a captain of the LHS volleyball team and a player named to the all-conference team.

“The only thing any athlete owes a coach is everything they have,” explained Kellum. “Caitlyn did that for me. That’s all I could ask.”

Kellum named Breena McCarthy as the offensive player of the year and Chyssandra Tatum as the defensive player of the year. Marina Robles was listed as the most improved athlete on the team, for “always smiling, even when I was yelling at her,” laughed Kellum.

Cross Country“Trust me, they move faster on the course,” said cross

country coach Beth Knappenberger as her 18 student ath-letes joined her and assistant coach Linda Taffi on the stage in the auditorium.

While overcoming many personal obstacles throughout the season, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams blazed the trail at the regional and conference cham-pionships, which paved the way for 14 of their runners to travel to the state championship race.

After presenting Steimel with the conference and regional championship trophies, Knappenberger and Taffi

announced Lorin Wales and Joshua Davis as their most valuable runners.

“We saw a lot of effort in all of our athletes all season long,” explained Knappenberger. “Our women’s most improved runner shaved nine minutes off her time this sea-son, which is remarkable. We’re happy to present Lauren Camina with this well-deserved award.”

Kristopher Parker was named the most improved runner

Cpl. Damarias Russell is well-traveled. He has been to Panama, London, Brazil and Colorado.

Now, he can add Guadalajara, Mexico to his list of places he has traversed.

Russell, soft-spoken with a quiet demeanor, was the only Marine from the All-Marine Boxing Team, housed aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, to attend the Pan-American games and went into the games with a different perspective on them than most of the other athletes who were in attendance.

“I look at these guys who have done this for their whole lives – this is all they know – and I can’t help but feel blessed that I’m allowed to compete against them,” said Russell. “When I think about the alternative to going to Guadalajara, the whole trip was a blessing to me.”

The 165-pound boxer has tried to make it to the Pan-American games before, but never got past the qualifying rounds in Panama. However, his can-do spirit and the guidance of coach Jesse Ravelo, who won the gold in the 1967 Pan-American games, helped push Russell to try again. He landed a spot at the Pan-Am games on his second trip to the Panama qualifying rounds.

From there, a whirlwind of activity took place in Russell’s life, as he traveled from Panama to London, where he boxed against the British Royal Army.

As soon as he returned from London, he boarded another plane and found himself in Guadalajara, surrounded by athletes from all corners of North and South America.

“The Pan-Am games are like nothing I’ve ever seen before,” explained Russell, leaning back on the sofa in the Area 3 gym, home to the All-Marine Boxing Team aboard MCB Camp Lejeune, as he reflected on the experience he had in Mexico. “There were all kinds of athletes, doing

everything you can think of. There were boxers and softball players and swimmers and gymnasts and runners and jumpers – everything you could possibly make into a sport was represented at the games.”

For such a soft spoken and gentle personality, nerves didn’t seem to be much of an issue for Russell, who had settled into a pattern of travel by the time he arrived at the Pan-American games. Without the chip on his shoulder that he said he

carried with him on his first trip abroad, Russell entered the ring for three three-minute rounds against other top boxers in North, central and South America.

“The second time I made it all the way through, I didn’t care who was in the other corner,” said Russell. “I was more focused on winning. I just wanted to be there, do my thing and get back.”

While he did not place at the Pan-American games, Russell said the experience was well-worth

the trip to Guadalajara. In his third boxing trip abroad, Russell has plenty of other ways to merit his success as a boxer than winning the gold at the Pan-Am games. He took the bronze two years ago at the World Military Games and has only lost seven of the more than 50 fights he had stepped into the ring for.

The All-Marine boxer came to the ring with a family history of letting out his frustrations through the use of a punching bag.

“Everybody in my family boxed growing up,” explained Russell. “It was a form of stress relief for my family. My dad would take us to the gym and let us strap on gloves and beat up on each other for a while to get out our frustrations.

“Even the girls,” continued Russell, half-jokingly. “If somebody said something mean to them or hurt their feelings somehow, they would get in the gym with their gloves and work out all their frustrations. It’s something I plan to carry over into my own family one day, like a tradition.”

His rearing in the ring proved itself in Guadalajara. In a sport that is largely about “talking with fists,” as Russell puts it, many of the boxers at the Pan-American games are professionals who live, eat and breathe the sport, unlike Russell.

The experience of competing against those whose primary focus is something Russell just enjoys in his free-time was humbling and left its mark.

“I was so impressed with the talent I saw,” said Russell. “The games let me know where I stand in the international boxing circle and I took the whole experience as a learning curve. I train as much as these guys do and it’s humbling to be

able to attend something at the same time as them. The entire trip was very humbling.”

Humbling is a fitting word. With the understanding that he is first and foremost a Marine, Russell knows that he is lucky to have been given the chance to participate at all.

“I could be in Iraq right now,” said Russell. “So, how could I not count this as a blessing? I try to stay as humble as possible because I look at where I’ve been and where I could be and I know that I’m lucky.”

Now that he has returned from the Pan-Am games, Russell is ready for a new challenge. His days in the ring may be coming to an end, but he already has plans lined up for the future.

“I know what’s next,” said Russell. “I think my days are numbered with boxing. It’s not something I’ll stop doing completely, but I’ve done my time here and I’m ready to do something else now. I know when I reach my limit and I think that’s where I am now. Boxing still holds a special place in my heart and always will because I genuinely love being in the ring, but I am ready to see what happens next.”

While he cannot know for sure what the future holds, Russell is already prepared to tackle it head-on, using the skills he has learned from his lifetime in the ring.

“Boxing is not just a sport, it’s a lifestyle,” explained Russell. “It takes a lot of discipline and self-control, just like life does. And just like life, you can’t just wake up one morning and decide to go fight 12 rounds. You have to prepare for everything you do. I never take my fights for granted and I don’t plan on taking my days for granted either. I’m prepared and I’ll just go from there.”

FOR SPRING 1 2012

for the boy’s team and Kyle Johnson was pre-sented with the sports-manship award for his willingness to congratu-late everybody he com-peted against for a job well done.

In addition to the suc-cessful season her athletes had, Knappenberger was recognized as coach of the year, an award voted by her peers.

SoccerIn any sport, the most

important thing a coach can ask of their team is that they never quit.

That’s exactly what coaches Charles Teegar-den and George Schu-macher asked the men’s soccer team to give them this season.

And it’s exactly what they got.

In a season that, while not championship-win-ning, was very com-petitive, the men’s soccer team kept their heads high and the attitudes positive during every practice and game.

“The best thing I saw this season was how much our players in-creased their understand-ing of the game,” said Schumacher. “We played against teams who have been together for years and we were competitive. For a team that has a high turnover rate, I was pleased with what I saw on the field.”

In addition to present-ing Troy Turney with the MVP award, Zachary Cox with the sportsman-ship award and Adam Lovelace with the sports-manship award, Teegar-den and Schumacher also gave out two coaches awards to Brian Krasinski and Carlos Carvajal.

“We had a great team overall and the guys who really shined were the ones were willing to go anywhere and play any-thing. I asked them where they wanted to play and they always told me to put them where I thought they should go.”

CheerleadersA football game isn’t

the same without cheer-leaders on the sidelines, and coach Kiandra Kre-spo made sure that her cheerleaders were the best of the best.

As conference cham-pions, Krespo and her squad worked hard to build a solid team from the ground up.

“We started with potential and we ended with the best season I could have ever asked for,” said Krespo, looking at the line of cheerlead-ers standing beside her on the auditorium stage. “I’m proud of how hard my girls worked in prac-tice and at games. Their hard work and dedication is why we won our con-ference championship.”

For showing her lead-ership and stepping up, Abigail Moorman was named the most valu-able cheerleader. Mary Paige Snipes was given the sportsmanship award for her dedication to her squad and Kristian Dorsey was presented with the most improved cheerleader award for her

willingness to work hard and stay positive.

After presenting Steimel with their con-ference championship trophy, the cheerleading squad had one more thing to do.

The squad presented their coach with a framed and matted team photo to remember their season by, as a token of their appreciation for the hard work and dedication she put into building their squad into a team.

“They make it easy,” explained Krespo. “They do all the hard work. That’s what’s so great about them.”

FootballIn comparison to many

student athletes who go into their high school seasons with more than 300 hours of practice under their belts, many of the junior varsity football players at Lejeune High School only had 30 hours of practice to work with.

Not to be outdone, they pushed through the challenge of building

their team from scratch and proved themselves to be worthy adversaries with a conference season with three wins and only one loss.

“I had a great group of kids who worked harder than asked this season,” said coach Chad Fonville. “At the end of the season, I told my MVP’s that I was going to get them into the end zone. When we did, let me tell you, it was a celebration.”

The JV football team presented Brian Nelson with the MVP award for his dedication and consis-tent hard work through-out the season.

As the varsity football team took the spotlight, the coaching staff shared some facts about their season with the crowd.

“We had seven wins this season, 443 points, 3,936 yards rushed and more than 500 attempts,” head coach Darryl Schwartz shared with the crowd. “I did 512 loads of laundry for these guys and vacuumed the locker room more than my own

house. But, I’d do it all again for the guys stand-ing on this stage.”

Schwartz presented Gaven Allen, Austin Downey, Akile Jones and Chris Villalpando with MVP trophies. Nick Kenniston was named the most improved player.

More than six of var-sity football players were named to the all-confer-ence teams and Jones and Gorman were both named player of the year.

“In addition to our great season, we had something incredible hap-pen this year,” explained Schwartz, holding up a laminated piece of paper. “Akile Jones was pub-lished in a magazine for his exceptional season. We couldn’t be more proud of Akile and the rest of our team.”

Whether by rush-ing the ball or returning the hit, Lejeune High School’s fall sports teams proved that they were willing to put in the time and effort to make sure that their season was a great one.

DEVIL PUPS FROM 4B

strapped their golf clubs to the backs of their carts and chatted amongst themselves, sharing stories of their time in the service, their families and what happened at the last post meeting.

“This is one of our great yearly fundraisers for the veterans,” said VFW Post 9133 quartermaster, Ron Sherwood, who has been involved in planning the tournament for three years and served as co-chair for the 2011 tournament. “Everything we raise here goes to help veterans in the area.”

The tournament was played in an ABC-scramble style, meaning that each player hit their ball and marked where it landed. After they assessed where each ball had landed, a team would decide which ball they wanted to use as a guidepost to hit their next round of balls from. Each teammate placed their ball within one club length from the ball that was being used as a starting point and hit again.

Players were encouraged to purchase a mulligan prior to beginning the tournament. A mulligan is the agreement between players that allows one redo per person, in case of a really bad hit or other circumstances that factored into that player’s turn.

“I’ve never played before, so I’m excited to see how this goes,” said Sherwood, sipping a drink as he waited for the tournament to begin. “This

will be my first time golfing today and all I’m really expecting is a good time.”

Other participants expected a little more of their golf game.

“I’d like to shoot a 60, but I know that’s not going to happen,” joked Rang. “It’s okay, though, because I was one of the first organizers and I had the privilege of being on the winning team the very first year we’ve had the tournament.”

Despite his reservations about playing well, Rang was a member of the second place team at the end of the tournament. Presented with the first place team winnings were Rang’s son, Mike, Terry Stevens, Mary McKee and Patrick Riddle, who were presented with their winnings by Sherwood during a post-tournament meal and celebration at the VFW Post 9133. In second place were Rang, Jack Scott, Mike McKee and Shirley Marsicano. Trailing close behind them in third place were Baskum Caywood, TJ Ghoustin, Dave Buford and Quinnon Duke.

The Sgt. Maj. Tom McHugh Memorial Golf Tournament funds will be used throughout the year to help local veterans and assist VFW Post 1933 in local projects that they undertake.

Bluegrass jam sessions

held at USO|2C

On cue, the bugler drew a heavy breath, and with the morning light dancing off the contours of his instru-ment, released the slow, somber notes of taps. For one member in particular, the notes created a deep tribulation as she batted away the welling tears. However, her waves of emotion are not in remembrance of a lost husband or fallen son, but for a brother - a past sergeant major of the Marine Corps.

The gravesite of Thomas J. McHugh lies among those of other veterans within the Coastal Carolina State Veterans Cemetery, adjacent to the Lejeune Memorial Gardens, with the words “WWII, Korea, Vietnam” below his name. It was on the morn-ing of Nov. 10 that elements of Ma-rine Corps Base Camp Lejeune con-ducted a wreath-laying ceremony in accordance with the Marine Corps birthday tradition.

“He was so dedicated to the Ma-rine Corps - it was his life,” said Mary Ellis, 95-year-old sister of McHugh

who, along with other family mem-bers, was in attendance for the cer-emony. “He was about three or four years old when he saw a Marine in dress blues walk by him on the street. It was then and there that he decided to be a Marine.”

Per the Marine Corps Casualty Procedures Manual, every year on the Corps’ birthday, wreaths are laid at the gravesites of former commandants and sergeants major of the Corps who passed away, regardless of where they rest in the world.

“This is just one of the many tradi-tions we as Marines hold in high re-gard to help remind ourselves of our rich legacy,” said Cpl. Noor Elquadi, clerk with the Installations and Per-sonnel Administrative Center Legal Department. “We still hold much respect for (McHugh) as a Marine, even after death, because death is no excuse for us not to honor those who stood before us.”

From Guadalcanal to the Cho-sin Reservoir to Vietnam, McHugh wrote himself into the annals of Marine Corps history, eventually be-

coming sergeant major of the Marine Corps from June 1962 to July 1965. McHugh left active duty in December 1970, and passed away 20 years later, earning the respect of the following generations of Marines and the lay-ing of a wreath every Marine Corps birthday.

“If it weren’t for the past Ma-rines and their accomplishments, we wouldn’t be here,” said Gunnery Sgt. Laura Bigley, career planner for Head-quarters and Support Battalion, MCB Camp Lejeune. “If we lose sight of the traditions done to honor them, I see the Marine Corps eventually dy-ing. Traditions epitomize who we are as well as ensuring we never forget our history.”

As Marines and civilians alike de-parted following the ceremony, the wreath stood proudly over McHugh, acting as a beacon of the exploits of yesteryear. Across the globe, 34 wreaths were posted for 27 past com-mandants and seven past sergeants major, all instrumental in crafting today’s Marine Corps and laying the groundwork for its future.

Service members pledge to support and defend the constitution when they enlist or reenlist into military service. Some, however, do this for a country they are not yet citizens of, but many of them were recently af-forded an opportunity to swear another oath with a similar message.

More than 40 Marines, sailors and family members from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and neighbor-ing installations took part in a naturalization ceremony to swear to the oath of allegiance to become citizens of the United States of America at the Russell Marine and Family Center aboard MCB Lejeune.

Ranging from more than 20 countries, the candidates went through an expedited naturalization process due to their military affiliation. They filled out applications, went to interviews, demonstrated good moral character, demonstrated knowledge of the English language and general U.S. civics knowledge, according to the U.S. Citi-zenship and Immigration Services website.

“These candidates feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude to the U.S.,” said Mitzi Lanier, the immigra-tion coordinator with the office of the Staff Judge Ad-vocate on base. “(Some people) take their citizenship for granted. (The new citizens) don’t. They’ve earned it.”

Last fiscal year, more than 10,000 service members were naturalized, with a couple of hundred naturalized this fiscal year.

Pfc. Dannieth Ellis Davis, a supply administrator with Marine Wing Support Squadron 271, from Jamaica, al-ready feels at home in America.

“I’ve been doing everything a citizen does,” said Davis.

To add another element to an already special day, the event was held on the Marine Corps birthday.

“It’s pretty exciting. You’re celebrating two special events at once,” said LCpl. Edher Baranda, an airframe mechanic with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266, who is from Tijuana, Mexico.

Guest speaker, Jeffrey Sapko, the director of the Raleigh-Durham field office of USCIS, spoke about how he became involved with immigration. As a for-mer soldier, he was stationed overseas where he wit-nessed people who could not travel or vote due to their countries’ regulations.

“I could do all of those things,” he said. “And I had an obligation to make sure others could too.”

He admires service members, those who defended the rights they may not be able to partake in.

“Today, we celebrate you who stand up to defend the rights we take for granted,” said Sapko in a speech during the ceremony. “Having this today is the least we could do. It’s our privilege to welcome you to our coun-try. You’ve already earned it, this is just a formality.”

On a clear fall day, dozens of people boarded a ferry to partake in the Hammocks Beach State Park Marsh Cruise Nov. 9, in order to see some sights, and to support the Wounded Warrior Project.

For the past seven years, the price of admission has been a toy donation for the Marine Corps Re-serve Toys For Tots program, however this year a tragedy brought about a different cause to cham-pion.

Christopher Campbell, a former lifeguard for the parks passed away when insurgents shot down the helicopter he was in, in Afghanistan. The Navy SEAL was an avid outdoorsman, and a proponent of ocean, hunting and sand dune preservation, ac-cording to his obituary.

The park asks for a minimum $5 donation to the organization, the money goes toward fostering the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded warriors in this nation’s history, accord-ing to the Wounded Warrior Project website. They do this through recovery assistance, job training and a multitude of programs detailed on their website.

“He wanted to be remembered through sup-port to the Wounded Warrior Project, which in turn supports his fellow brothers and sisters in the

military,” said Renee Tomczak, a ranger with the park. “Since it hit so close to home, this year, we’re going to do it for the Wounded Warrior Project in memory of Christopher Campbell.”

The park hopes to make $10,000 for the organi-zation. So far they have made more than $8,000.

“I support this 100 percent,” said George Stin-son, a former sailor who took part in the event. “I hope service members, retirees and former service members come out and help.”

While the program is set to return for Toys-For Tots next year, some participants hope that they continue to benefit Wounded Warrior Project.

“Toys For Tots is important, but I feel the cruise should keep supporting wounded warriors. Toys For Tots is everywhere, I just hope this doesn’t die down,” said Dorothy Couser, a local resident who has been on the cruise multiple times.

The Marsh Cruise follows a loose tour guide formula. It is a guided discussion that covers ecol-ogy, history, and cultural aspects of the area. Arti-facts are brought along on the tour and discussed, including Native American artifacts and items from shipwrecks.

A donation to the Wounded Warrior Project can be made through wwproudsupporters.kin-tera.org/hammocksbeach. The cruises require preregistration. For more information call 326-4881.

What is the price of music? That de-pends. On average, a person can spend ap-proximately $15 on an album or somewhere around 99 cents if they’re downloading indi-vidual songs online, depending on how new or popular that particular song is.

If a person were to buy just one album a month, they could be spending more than $180 a year and with the importance of music in today’s society, most are probably spending a whole lot more than that.

Now with a service offered at all Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune libraries, base patrons can keep some of that money in their pockets.

By registering at any of the MCB Camp Lejeune libraries, anyone holding a Depart-ment of Defense identification card can now download up to three, free music downloads a week.

Once patrons are registered at one of the libraries, they will receive an email from Freegalmusic.com with their account infor-mation and from there, they can start down-loading from an array of more than 60,000 Sony artists from any Internet source.

“These songs are theirs to keep, so they

do not disappear after a certain time frame,” said Judy Bradford, library branch manager, Marine Corps Community Services. “Every Sunday, their account is updated so they can log on the following week and get three new songs.”

The library has a trial subscription with Freegal Music until Jan. 31.

“We wanted to know this was some-thing that our Marines and sailors and their families would take advantage of,” Bradford said. “It’s a large amount of money that the library is spending and we want to make sure people are going to be interested before we make a full commitment. If it goes well and our budget allows, we will continue to do it.”

As of right now, more than 200 base patrons have signed up for the free service, some of which have consistently download-ed three songs every week since the begin-ning of the service in September.

“The library likes to provide to the mili-tary’s needs and we just thought this would be a service to provide something to them that they can keep,” Bradford said. “We want people to continue to come here and check out DVDs or CDs, but this is some-thing they can keep for the future and they are saving money.”

Base libraries offer three free music downloads per week

From “front-porch pickers” to professional musicians, community members gathered at the USO of North Carolina-Jacksonville cen-ter to share their love for bluegrass music.

Every second Thursday of each month, the USO holds a Bluegrass Jam from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The informal-style concert is open to all bluegrass musicians who are looking for a place to showcase their talent and anyone looking for a night of family-friendly entertainment.

As the doors opened, stringed instruments from fiddles and bass to banjos and guitars filled the ball room and produced the most pure, wholesome, southern-charm sounds for “hillbilly jazz” lovers to take pleasure in.

Musicians and singers rotated from taking center stage to creating improvised accompaniment that seemed to mesh perfectly with the other creative instrumentals.

“This is our fourth or fifth time attending,” said Anne Hendricks, who attended with her husband Leu. “Some friends of ours invited us and since then it’s been a phe-nomenal experience. We both really enjoy bluegrass and country-west-ern inspired music.”

The Bluegrass Jam has been an ongoing event at the USO since Oc-tober 2010.

“We first got started after a let-ter to the editor was written about people (who) liked bluegrass mu-sic, but didn’t have a place to go listen,” said Roger Alvis, a regular Bluegrass Jam attendee. “I wrote a letter in response saying that there were plenty of bluegrass players and pickers around but they just

had no place to play.”The very same day his letter was

published, someone from the USO contacted him saying they would provide facilities for the monthly jam sessions.

“Just like anything else, when you’re first getting it off the ground it takes a little while for word to get around,” said Alvis. “But after doing it for more than a year now, we’ve had some really good crowds.”

To join in the festivities, the USO of North Carolina-Jacksonville cen-ter asks for $1 donations from atten-dants 12 years and older.

The snack bar stays open as well and offers drinks and food to those who attend the jam.

For more information, call the USO of North Carolina-Jackson-ville center at 455-3411. Interested musicians should contact Alvis at 353-0416.

Operation Noble Heart links volunteers to organizationsPFC. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERAMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

“The community gives so much to Marines and sailors. It’s important to give back,” said Susan Goo-drich, the branch head of the Single Marine Program Marine Corps Community Services Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Service members and fam-ily aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune have been given a channel to pursue vol-unteer opportunities to help the local community through Operation Noble Heart.

While this program is governed by the SMP, it is not only for single Marines. Robin Karratti, who acts as a volunteer coordinator for the program, helps Ma-rines, spouses and mem-bers of the Onslow County community find volunteer opportunities through Op-eration Noble Heart.

“Volunteer opportunities are endless and continuous,” said Goodrich.

Operation Noble Heart has a long list of organiza-tions and events that are looking for volunteers, from coaching sports and helping with fundraisers to block par-ties and local festivals.

Organizations and volun-teers call Karratti who checks groups to ensure they fit with the idea of what Operation Noble Heart is looking for, namely a good experience for volunteers who partici-pate. If they meet the require-ments, she notifies volunteers through their SMP represen-tative and through e-mails to those interested.

Opportunities include, but

are certainly not limited to, building homes with Habitat for Humanity and helping at festivals, and assisting with beach clean-ups.

With 23,000 hours logged last year, the program shows no sign of slowing down. They provide volunteer-ing opportunities for more than 1,500 people, saving the organizations that take part in them approximately $167,000 annually.

Sgt. Man Chan, a ware-house chief with 2nd Marine Logistics Group, said he en-joys events he volunteers for. He’s been volunteering two to three times a month since the beginning of the year.

“It’s a nice opportunity to meet different people and help out,” said Chan, “It lets people know we care about the community.”

Volunteers also go to events such as proms at nursing homes, where they spend an afternoon dancing with the residents.

“You’ll see a resident in a wheelchair and wonder, ‘Well, how are they going to dance?’” said Goodrich. “Then a Marine or sailor comes in and spins them around and you see this joy in the both of their faces.”

Goodrich added how it was a “win-win” for every-body involved. Service mem-bers have fun, while organiza-tions get assistance.

“Organizations get ser-vice members who want to be there,” said Goodrich. “Hands go up (to volunteer) instead of fingers pointing to another person.”

Retiree Ballkeeps traditions alive|3D

AMY BINKLEYAssistant managing editor

Magic exists in the imagination of children.

Fairies dance in the forests, trolls live under bridges and sometimes an overgrown fruit

can change your life.Lejeune High School’s theater department will water the

seeds of fantasy and fun for children of all ages this weekend during performances of their fall production “James and the

Giant Peach” in the school’s auditorium.“Come relive your childhood and watch it come alive

through (your children’s) eyes,” encouraged drama teacher Steven Barker.

This year marks the 50th anniversary for author Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s classic, and Barker took on the task of pro-ducing a show aimed specifically at a younger audience.

“When we play for our peers, we put on a production and hope we do well,” Barker explained. “When we play for a younger group, we create.”

The play tells the story of James Henry Trotter, who is or-phaned after his parents are killed by an escaped rhinoceros and is forced to live with his horrible aunts Sponge and Spiker.

Living under constant verbal abuse from his family mem-bers and utter loneliness, James has a chance encounter with a stranger who is aware of his plight and offers a way out. A bag of magic crocodile tongues holds the key to his escape, but after an unfortunate bout of clumsiness, James spills them

into the soil of the dead tree of his aunts’ yard.Then the adventure begins.

Through a series of events, a peach begins to grow at a rapid pace, as well as an irritable earth worm, a self-

centered centipede, a style-savvy ladybug, a musical grasshopper and a mysterious spider, and when it

breaks free from the tree, James jumps on board for the wildest ride of his life.

“I had seen the movie when I was a kid and loved it,” said Rebecca Pierce, who

plays the ladybug. “I thought it’d be neat to join the production.”

Erick Moe embodies his centipede character

constantly

wearing a mis-chievous grin and sev-eral legs on his costume. He looks forward to the reac-tions from the younger crowds that are expected to come.

“(Kids) don’t care how (car-toonlike) we are,” he said.

The strong cast of 14 actors and the 10-member technical crew, made up completely of LHS students have been work-ing on the production for more than two months, and their efforts are evident.

“This is really us relaunching the Lejeune High School theater department to serve the base and com-munity so parents will have something of quality to bring their kids to,” said Barker. “They’ve all taken the challenge and grown a lot.”

Though the British accents may have a bit of a south-ern twang, each role has been perfectly cast.

The aunts are deliciously despicable, and Madelyn Haspert and Jessica Ducote capture the characters so brilliantly that the audience will love to hate them.

Matt Lore, who plays James, portrays the role’s required gangly awkwardness perfectly.

The spider, played by Kala Trotta, is sure to catch some audience members in her web of mystery.

“She’s dangerous and could destroy anyone at any moment,” she said.

Barker, who joined the LHS staff in January, recognizes that the base and Onslow County communities have a young population who need to experience the arts.

“It is a hallmark of a great society,” he said. “When a community sup-ports local arts, they really start to take off.”

He explained how in past economic hard times, people tended to go

Tickets are $6 in advance and $7 at the door for adults, $5 for children 13 and under and $1 for Wounded Warriors.

“ABDUCTION” (PG-13)

“Abduction” is a drama and action thriller about a teenager who finds out that there is a deep mystery in his life.

Taylor Lautner (“Twi-light Saga” series) stars as Nathan Price, a young-man unwittingly thrust into a deadly world of covert espionage.

For as long as he can remember, Nathan, a high school senior, has had the uneasy feeling that he is living someone else’s life.

When he stumbles upon an image of himself as a little boy on a miss-ing person’s website, all of his darkest fears come true.

Nathan realizes his parents are not his own and his life is a lie when he learns he was kid-napped as a child.

Just as he begins to piece together his true identity, Nathan is targeted by a team of trained killers forcing him on the run with the only person he can trust, his neighbor and classmate Karen, played by Lily Collins (“The Blind Side,” “Priest”).

He soon discovers that there is a vast conspiracy afoot, and as his oppo-nents close in, Nathan realizes that the only way he will survive and solve the mystery of his life is to stop running and take matters into his own hands.

Co-starring is Alfred Molina (“Prince of

Persia,” “Spiderman”) as Frank Burton, a CIA operative; and Sigour-ney Weaver (“Avatar,” “Aliens”) as Dr. Bennett, Nathan’s shrink.

Maria Bello (“A His-tory of Violence,” “The Company Man”) and Jason Isaacs (“Green Lantern”) appear as Na-than’s parents.

John Singleton (“Four Brothers,” “2 Fast 2 Furi-ous,” “Shaft,” “Boyz n the Hood”) directed this lame action film.

This is the inaugural film of Lautner’s produc-tion company, which he runs with the help of his father.

“Abduction” is suppos-edly a thrill-packed ad-venture and mystery with cool twists and turns, but mostly it is a vehicle for Lautner to become the next action star. This is a great failure for all involved.

“TOWER HEIST” (PG-13)

“Tower Heist” is a crime comedy about a big sham and Wall Street swindler and the working people who respond.

The movie follows a group of employees at a New York high rise apart-ment complex, who plot to steal $20 million from a wealthy Wall Street businessman after losing their pension in his Ponzi scheme.

When the group of hard-working guys find out they have fallen vic-tim to the ‘fat cat’ scam,

they conspire to rob his luxurious posh resi-dence.

Alan Alda (“The Aviator”) plays Arthur Shaw, a Wall Street financier and billionaire who, in his big sham, also swindles his high-rise tenants out of their pension funds.

Shaw is currently under house arrest after being caught stealing billions from his investors.

Ben Stiller (“Tropic Thunder,” “Night at the Museum,” Little Fock-ers”) stars as Josh Kovacs, the building manager at the most prestigious penthouse tower in New York City, who has man-aged this well-secured residence for more than a decade.

Kovacs had asked the financial wizard for as-sistance in investing in his and his employees’ retire-ment accounts.

Promising revenge and getting even with the

slime ball Shaw and hop-ing to get the money back for his tenants, Kovacs enlists the help of a petty crook, a street-smart thief named Slide, played by Eddie Murphy (“Shrek,” “Norbit”), to spearhead the complicated caper.

Co-starring is Casey Affleck (“Gone Baby Gone”) as Charlie, Kovac’s brother-in-law, a former Wall Street investor made bankrupt by Shaw, now employed

as the front desk clerk; and Matthew Broderick (“Finding Amanda”) as Chase Fitzhugh, a stock-broker whose condo is in foreclosure; Michael Pena (“Battle: Los Angeles”) as Enrique, the newly hired bell hop; Stephen McKin-ley Henderson as Lester, the veteran doorman; and Gabourey Sidibe (“Pre-cious”) as Odessa, the Jamaican maid.

Also appearing is Tea Leoni (“Ghost Town”) as Claire Denham, a special agent assigned to Shaw’s case who is also person-ally interested in Kovacs.

Director Brett Ratner (“Rush Hour” series, “Red Dragon,” “New York I Love You”) put together a terrific and talented ensemble cast for this tale reminiscent of Bernie Madoff, played out in the Big Apple and the famous Trump Towers.

“Tower Heist” is a comedic caper and action comedy that is timely, well executed and amus-ing to watch.

Ms. Huneycutt is the public affairs assistant at the base Public Affairs Office.

Regiment of Retired Marines keeps traditions aliveAMY BINKLEYAssistant managing editor

Wrinkles are simply a way for the face to tell stories without words,

and the deeper the creases the more adventurous the tales.

The “dinosaurs” of the Regi-ment of Retired Marines roamed in a celebration 236 years in the making at the annual birthday ball at Goettge Memorial Field House aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Saturday.

“The heritage of our Corps and years of experience are in this room,” said retired Sgt. Maj. Joe Houle. “I don’t know of another

place where as many retirees come together.”

For more than two centuries, the Marine Corps has stood as the country’s elite fighting force, and though many of the evening’s guests may not have the same physical stamina as they did while serving on active duty, their spirits, loyalty and devotion were as strong as ever.

Retired Sgt. Maj. Giovanni Favoli sat at a table with his closest brothers-in-arms, and their laid-back, familiar banter painted pic-tures of friendships forged through several decades’ worth of joys, trials and memories.

“Once a Marine, always a Marine,” answered retired Sgt. Maj. Favoli when asked why he

attended the ball. “You only get to see these people once a year, but the camaraderie is here. We’re all still friends.”

Looking dapper in their best duds, veterans and their guests walked the red carpet into the event with a rose presented to each special lady and an escort to lead them to their assigned tables.

Those who attend the ball year after year fell back into their rou-tines while others entered the doors for the first time since retirement.

“This is my first ball since 1993,” noted retired Master Gun-nery Sgt. Paul Levesque. “My uniform still fits so that’s good.”

Photo by Amy BinkleyJessica Ducote (left) and Madelyn Haspert, who play Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker respectively, run from a runaway peach during a rehearsal for the play “James and the Giant Peach” at Lejeune High School aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Tuesday.

PEACH FROM 1D back to the arts they knew were good, only spending money on shows they know they wanted to see. Broad-way rolls out revivals of fan favorites and crowds gather for a two-hour escape from reality.

With this show, Barker hopes to spark an interest for theater in the hearts of the young audience.

“I’d like for a lot of the kids who come to see it to remember that the first show they saw was ‘James and the Giant Peach,’” he said. “When everything is said and done, we still have simple stories to tell.”

Because the theater de-partment is self-sustaining, meaning it is not funded by any outside sponsors, Barker, his cast and crew decided to schedule five shows, including three mati-nees for Saturday.

“We created that many matinees on purpose,” he noted. “We know we have

a large family community. The attendance (for this show) will drive the next performance.”

He also stated that bring-ing children to the play is an excellent way for parents to expose their children to the culture of the arts.

Marvelous things await those who dare to join James and his larger-than-life insect friends as they tra-vail across the ocean toward New York City, battling sharks, seagulls and cloud men along the way.

The story itself deals with serious themes like verbal abuse, abandonment and the ever-constant fight against fear in a way that children can understand and cope – through laughter.

James befriends bugs who look, talk and act nothing like he does and finds that being different isn’t such a bad thing. He learns that he is much braver and smarter than he ever

thought he could be while leading the way on their travels.

The most important thing James learns though, and perhaps the most im-portant lesson every mem-ber of the audience will take away, is that you don’t have to be who everyone tells you you are. You can be and do anything, with a little imagi-nation and effort.

Oshun Brown, who tackled the role of the earth-worm, explained it perfectly when he said, “Anything is possible if you believe.”

“James and the Giant Peach” will be held Thurs-day and Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at Leje-une High School. Tickets are $6 in advance and $7 at the door for adults, $5 for children 13 and under and $1 for Wounded Warriors.

the ball each year.“(I come) to acknowledge that I

was in the Corps and to celebrate with friends,” he explained.

Even though their duty status may have changed, the seasoned ser-vice members still know how to have a good time and remember those of the past with no evident pretension.

“The retiree ball is exceptionally different because you have veterans from all the wars,” Vivian Joseph, a former Marine, stated. “The history is here.”

Veterans from the Korean, Viet-nam and Gulf Wars swapped stories and spoke of the days when water fountains were called scuttlebutts.

The sounds of history echoed across the room.

“Everyone who’s made the Corps what it is comes here,” said Fernando Schiefelbein, operations specialist, MCB Camp Lejeune. “(The retiree ball is different because of) the experience of the people who attend.”

Following traditions to the letter, the official ceremony began with the entrance of the evening’s guest of honor, Sgt. Maj. Bryan Battaglia, the

senior enlisted adviser to the chair-man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the senior noncommissioned officer in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Colors were presented and posted, the birthday cake was cut and passed from the oldest to the youngest Marine and the comman-dant’s message played, re-sparking the fire of loyalty in many of the retirees’ eyes.

Houle then welcomed Battaglia to the podium.

“Our guest of honor needs no in-troduction,” Houle stated. “He’s one of us. He’s always been one of us.”

Stepping up, Battaglia humbly addressed the audience, many of whom served as his leaders in the past.

“In this room tonight, connect-ing past and common conflicts, we have one denominator – the U.S. Marine,” he said. “You’re a special breed of patriot.”

He continued speaking of the sig-nificance the group has had through-out the years and how special it was to be celebrating on Veteran’s Day weekend.

Battaglia noted how the Ma-

rine Corps’ birthday is a time to celebrate, thank and remember the continuous fight for freedom, and the words spoken by President John F. Kennedy decades ago are still true today.

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty,” Kennedy said decades ago.

“Our nation believes in who we are and what we represent,” Batta-glia said. “We shoulder the responsi-bility to keep freedom a reality. You have gone before us and blazed the trail. Happy birthday, Marines, and semper fidelis.”

Following the speech, retired Sgt.Maj. Michael Cline inducted new members in the Regiment of Retired Marines Hall of Fame, which will eventually be posted in the Museum of the Marine.

As every hall of fame member present gathered for a picture, shad-ows of greatness were cast and hope hid in hearts that all the faces will be back again next year.

NAVY LT. GARY PEPPER Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

I often hear the phrase, “When one door closes another one opens.” I think this statement drifts through conversa-tions about relationships, job opportuni-ties, financial purchases, etc.

Perhaps you may also heard, “If that door opens again, I will take the op-portunity.” Sometimes thinking about these statements is avoided and at times the principle behind the statement is almost considered, inspired, infallible or a proverb.

I would argue any door open is sim-ply that – an open door. The question we should ask is if walking through that door is going to be beneficial.

The bible tells us that if anyone lacks wisdom let them ask of God for wis-dom. When an open door is open, ask God for wisdom to know if it is a door that should be entered.

There was a man who was told to do something from the highest authority. After he considered the task, he de-clined and went the opposite direction. Every door opened for him to go in the way in which he desired but not the way he was told. He found some trans-portation at a good rate and purchased

the fare and found a very private spot where he could relax and eventually get into a deep sleep.

While he was resting, everyone aboard was tormented; in fact all of them feared for their lives. In the deepest sleep, the man was awoken for assistance. Every person aboard was crying to God for help and now they were asking this man to do the same.

They said, “Get up, call upon your God. Perhaps your God will be con-cerned about us so that we will not perish.”

The doors were open for this man. He escaped the task, he thought, found a ship at the right time, right price and a place where he could rest and go where he wanted. The doors were open, so he went through them. Without thinking about the consequences of those deci-sions, he put many lives at risk.

When someone offers you some-thing and you know it is not the right thing to do, don’t go through that door. When someone invites you into a rela-tionship and you are already in a com-mitted relationship, the consequences are endless.

Disobedience has its consequences. Ask Jonah, it landed him in the belly of a great fish.
