Education Available; See Career Advisor By GySgt. T. W. McCarty

Brigade Career Advisory NCO One of the major reasons

given by Marines for not re- enlisting is "to finish my edu- cation." This reason may or may not be valid.

The Marine Corps offers (see MCO 1550.3C and Brigade Order 1560.1C) or sponsors various programs as a means of gaining a higher educational level for a Marine Corps career or to prepare for further civil- ian life education.

These various off-duty edu- cation programs provide Ma-

rines with the opportunity to improve qualification and pro- ficiency in technical or tactical fields or attain high school or college credits.

The Marine Corps Insti- tute, an official training ac- tivity, provides correspond- ence courses to contribute to the military proficiency of Marines. The courses are de- crease proficiency in indi- vidual MOS's. There is no signed to maintain and in- cost for enrollment. Marine Corps Extension

The Brigade Chaplain Speaks ... By Chaplain J. H. Lampe

Brigade Chaplain The Lentqn Season is here-

and with it the opportunity to make preparations for Easter.

The word Lent comes from an old English word-"lenten" -which means lengthen. It re- fers to the fact that Lent is the time of the lengthening day, or Spring.

Lent is the Spring period of preparation for Easter, Apr. 14. We can say that Lent gives us an opportunity to lengthen our

spiritual exercises in the sight of God.

Lent is a training period. a time when each of us proves to himself that he is the mas- ter of his life. Christ set up the principles and, what is more important, gave the example.

He constantly stressed the need for prayer, charity and alms giving. He Himself led a hard and rigorous life. He tempered His body by a fast of forty days - which is our inspiration for the season of

flays of sanctification through Lent. sommogiumintoopia

OBSERVATIONS No Questions Asked - The Station Comm Officer, Capt.

R. E. Carruthers, reports some dozen EE-8 field telephones are missing from disaster control outposts along the Station's perimeter. These are part of the disaster control communica- tions network. They are also government property. The Comm() is asking that any one knowing of the whereabout of any of these instruments, or who may have come across one, please notify his office at 72510 or drop them off at Station Comm, Bldg. 505. He'll accept the phones or info - no questions asked.

Something to Shoot For - Maj. Marc A. Moore, Aide-De- Camp to LtGen. C. A. Roberts, FMFPac CG, set a record with the M-14 two weeks ago that may be a record for the Corps.

A veteran rifle and pistol marksman, Maj. Moore split the target cloth 50 times at Puuloa Rifle Range Feb. 15 to tally an all-time high 244 with the new weapon.

He dropped two points in off-hand, three points from the 300-yard line and one point on his final shot from the 500.

Maj. Moore also holds the Camp H. M. Smith pistol range record with a 375 out of possible 400 with the .45.

* * * More Old Corps 'Phase-out' - HQMC has sent a bulletin

to the field which drops the 07 MOS from the specialty lists. The anti-aircraft artillery specialists will be absorbed into the 67 OF of air control. Only one here now at K-Bay is touched. Pfc. Moses M. Belles of l -3/12 will line cross to the 67 field. Present air controllers-normally associated with air groups- will now have broader transfer possibilities. They may some- day find themselves in a LAAM battalion.

* * * We're Gonna Be Famous - SSgt. "Chuck" Kester, traveling

correspondent for. Leatherne,ck Magazine, is now at K-Bay to do a few stories.

Using the Information Services Office as headquarters, Sgt. Kester plans stories on the Station and Brigade operations and all aspects of duty in Hawaii. He'll stay here for a week, then head for Pearl Harbor and FMFPac.

* * * Names in the News - The "Joe Blow" forms you might

have filled out during 1962 helped in establishing a record number of home town'rs for the Fleet Home Town News Cen- ter last year. The FHTNC mailed 1,650,306 stories to home town newspapers on the 1962 accomplishments of Marines and Navymen.

* * * Honor Thy Father (Of Your Country) - Last Friday at high

noon, three young boy scouts were seen standing at rigid attention, facing in the direction of the "noise" being made by cannon fire. Not so were some military personnel and de- penderi:s and official and private vehicles. They continued on their merry way. Why the 21 cannon reports? It was honors paying respect to the Nation's first president, George Wash- ington.

* * * They Leave Big Bumps - The word is out; the golf course

has been designed for the use of golfers. Sorry, no picnics, short-cuts or twilight strolls are allowed.

Station regulations state that unless you're participating in a golf game, you shouldn't be on the course.

Remember - the golf ball bump you save may be your own. * * *

Practice Makes Perfect - Dependent wives - like to talk? The Windward Toastmistress Club is looking for new members and feels that many Marine wives would enjoy and benefit from its monthly meetings.

The International Toastmistresses offer the opportunity to think clearly and express ideas effectively and objectively.

Meetings are held every second and fourth Monday, 7:30 p.m. at Kailua Methodist Church, 1110 Kailua Rd.

For further info, contact Mrs. Judge Hickman, 268-669 or Mrs. Margaret Newman. 255-379.

* * * And Leave the Flying to Them - Commercial airlines can

expect up to $205.1 million in international passenger and cargo contracts from the military in 1964, according to the Defense Department.

After 1964, military policy requires that contracted com- mercial airlines use jet or turboprop aircraft wherever feasible. At present 13 international route carriers hold contracts with the military.

* * * Changes in the Far East - Tuesday. Col. G. D. Gayle as-

sumed the 3dMarDiv Chief of Staff post, replacing Col. C. M. DeHority who is on orders to Norfolk. Va., for duty with Hq.. FMFLant. Col. Gayle's command of the 9th Marines was taken by Col, G. R. Stallings, former Task Force 79 G-3 officer.

WRECKED CAR - Marines from "C" Motors found the going easy when it came to pulling a car up a 50-foot slope near Ulupau Head last Friday afternoon. They used a winch.

Vehicle Plunges Down Ulupau Head;

Insurance Pay-off Is Improbable By Cpl. K. B. Lindsey I how to pull a vehicle out of

a gulley using a truck winch. "Most of them," he added,

"hadn't had any experience with the winch and I thought they would run into all kinds of trouble."

The first of two groups proved him wrong. They pulled the car up the hill in 22 minutes. The other group, benefiting

from watching the initial ef- fort, pulled it out in just 15 minutes.

"Marines," conceded Sgt. Jones, "are getting smarter ev- ery day."

Ever had a desire to roll sour car down a mountainside?

Marines of "C" Motors did -and no one got a ticket. -Several days ago," ex-

plained SSgt. W. C. Jones, a truckmaster with the company, the PM0 gave our outfit an

old 1946 sedan." "The vehicle," he continued,

"had been abandoned by a Marine staticned aboard the base and turned over to PMO.

For several weeks the aged "cluaker" just sat around the company area. Then last Friday afternoon it was of. UeiWy "christened." The Marines hooked the old

car to a truck, pulled it part way up the north side of Ulu- pau Head, then pushed it side- over-side 50 feet into a. gulley.

However, the VA warned that interest earned by divi- dends, if left on deposit, is not a benefit and must be declared as income. The VA also listed a number

of its benefits which are not subject to income tax. Among them are education and train- ing allowances for Korean Conflict veterans still in school

or training establishments and subsistence payments made to disabled veterans undergoing vocational rehabilitation train- ing.

Disability c o m p e nsation and pension payments are not taxable, nor are grants to seriously disabled veter- ans for homes designed for "wheelchair living." Other benefits which are not

With the Greatest of Ease

Supply 'Top' Completes First Glider Solo "He soars through the air

with the greatest of ease ..." This old circus song can

well apply to MSgt. J. H. Wilkerson, Navy Supply, who completed his first glider aircraft solo last week. Sgt. Wilkerson and his wife

first became interested in glid- er flying after their 16-year- old daughter, Patricia, a mem- ber of the Civil Air Patrol, be- gan flying at Bellows Air Force Station with the CAP's Bellows Composite Squadron.

The squadron training offi- cer, lstLt. Norman Driscoll. normally flies F-8B Crusaders for VMF-232, but devotes his off-duty time to instructing flight cadets of the CAP at

Bellows. Almost 120 students are involved in the training program; 50 have already solo- ed.

The squadron has three gliders, two two-seaters for training and one solo for in- dividual flights. Wingspans are 44 and 40 feet, respec- tively. The gliders contain altim-

eter, gyro, and airspeed in- dicator. A truck is used to launch them from the Bellows airstrip.

"My wife started flight training with me," Sgt. Wilker- son said. "She'll be ready for her solo very soon."

The Wilkersons began train- ing last October.

"Though we had some

ground school," he said, "about 31z hours were spent in the air with an instruct- or."

Almost 30 flights must be made before attempting a solo. After soloing, glider pilots work to attain the Silver "C" Badge for more distinguished flying and experience. Includ- ed in their training are flights to Dillingham Air Force Base.

Lt. J. R. Blackshaw, Comp- troller's Office, is the squad- ron treasurer. Anyone inter- ested in joining the Civil Air Patrol and participating in the glider program can contact Mr. Blackshaw at ext. 72438.

of the taxpayer, substitute schedules must follow the of- ficial format, contain all the required information and be attached in the same sequence as on the tax return.

Returns on schedules re- produced by copying ma- chines and other devices should meet the standard of paper quality and legibility of the official forms. Taxpayers receiving pre-

addressed forms should use them where possible to mini- mize chance of error in identi- fication.

Director Evans said comput- er processing returns is on an assembly line basis with data first placed on punch cards and then on magnetic tape. Antici- pated benefits and economies for Internal Revenue and the public cannot be realized if any extensive editing or other manipulation has to be done.

The social security number is required by law on all re- turns this year. Failure to show this number may delay issu- ance of any refund due to the taxpayer. (AFPS)

K-Bay's Gerald Hanshaw Takes Decision,

Wins All-Marine Boxing Title at Cam Pen By SSgt. Phil Phillips

The only K-Bay boxer to reach the boxing finals and to win an All-Marine title in the current Camp Pen diet on matches is Gerald Hanshaw.

Hanshaw battled William Verdier of Camp Lejeune in the 139-1b. light welter- weight class. With the All-Marine cham-

pionship at stake, both fighters put everything they had into the bout frbm the start.

The first round of the bout ended fairly even with both fighters throwing punishing blows.

In the second round, Han- shaw's unusual style began to pay dividends. He covered up with both hands held tight against his face, moved in close and then let fly with a flurry of punches. He used these tactics to edge ahead in the second.

Both fighters were tired by the opening bell of the third round. but Hanshaw held his edge until the bell and won the bout and the All-Marine light -welte r- weight title on a split de- cision.

Pfc. Lawrence Armendariz, recently transferred from K-

Bay to Pendleton, won a split decision last Thursday night to become the new flyweight champion of the Marine Corps.

Armendariz won the title in the first fight on the final night of the All-Marine cham- pionships. His opponent was Bob Palermi of Camp Le- jeune.

All fighters making the fin- als will compete in the Inter- Service matches.

In addition, another K-Bay fighter, LCpI. Alton Lane. who lost a decision to three-time All-Marine champion Maurice Frilot in the semi-finals, will compete in the Inter-Service matches.

HM Grapplers Take Crown;

Hawaii Marine wrestling team proved their ability over the weekend by running away with the Hawaii AAU crown at Io- lani School.

At the end of the matches, the 'Neck wrestlers had ac- cumulated 38 points, twice as many as their closest opponent, Church College.

In nine matches, the Marines failed to take only three firsts. Church College took two and the Navy team a single. .

water Feb. 5 in an attempt to become proficient swimmers.

Eighteen Marines took nine days to become qualified un- der the instruction of Sgt. A. F. Luttrell and Cpls D. B. Stone and E. G. Tril.

The secret to success was swimming every day all day- in utilities with nine-pound weights to simulate the weight of M-14 rifles).

At the end of the swimming sessions, the tired students re- turned to their units.

Karate Club Invites Wives After Two Succeed Einstein, Ford, Franklin,

Edison-all pioneers in fields now common to our everyday life.

Here at K-Bay, we have two pioneers, not in science, but in an area which takes them from the feminine role of domesticity to the art of Self Defense-Karate. Mrs. JoAnn McCool and Mrs.

Lavon Seeley have broken the barrier of the Windward School of Self Defense and are now holders of the purple belt in karate.

Mrs. McCool's interest in

the "man's sport" came from wanting to share interests with her pilot-husband, Maj William McCool.

"I didn't have any idea of what the sport was about," Mrs. McCool explained, "but I agreed to take it up if an- other woman could be coax- ed into taking lessons, too." Being one of the only two

women to take up Karate at the K-Bay school, Mrs McCool was taken back a few steps when she learned that she would be working at the sport with 48 male students

Story By SSgt. Richard Vernon

Photos By LCpI. D. L. Shearer

But early doubts have been erased. She loves the sport.

Weighing 115 pound s, Mrs. McCool recently took a 220-pounder for a "tum- ble" during a practice ses- sion. Petite 51/2-foot, 93-pound

Lavon Seeley started her les- sons as the result of what she thought was a joke.

Her husband, Capt. Devon Seeley of MABS-13, asked her if she would like to take Ka- rate. When she said yes, she didn't realize that she would be holder of a purple belt three months later.

A teacher of Sunday School, student of hula and mother of three, Mrs. Seeley says that the normal running-of-a-house just isn't enough exercise. A good Karate workout gives her a feeling of satisfaction-phy- sically tired. but pleasantly so.

When asked whether she could throw a man twice her

size, she answered: "There is no doubt in my mind about throwing a man twice my weight, but where can I find a man 10 feet tall." Both agree that more wom-

en should take Karate. Both are trying to stimulate inter- est among other women of K-Bay. If enough interest is fostered, the two "experienc- ed" ladies will be used as in- structors for a new class.

The women's form of Ka- rate is much different from the men's, since women don't possess their power.

BUDGET BENDER - Mrs. Lavon Seeley not only handles the family budget, teaches Sunday School and looks after her three daughters but also takes time for a bit of relax- ation (7). See photo on right.

FAIRER SEX? - Karate is a man's sport, you say? It also can be a women's sport. Mrs. Lavon Seeley (I) tosses instructor Jolin Lane like a bundle of rags while Mrs. JoAnn McCool takes "hubby,- Maj. W. G. McCool, for a tumble during recent training courses by the Wind- ward School of Self-Defense. "Fairer Sex"? - definitely, but don't sell the women short.

DOMESTIC - Mrs. JoAnn McCool prepares coffee as one of many household chores. Domestic - you bet - but look what happens on Monday nights (picture to the left).

Child Care Center

Gets 0-Wives Aid By Irene Peterson

On any given luncheon day our Child Care Center meets its greatest challenge with the "toddler-pre-school crowd."

So if you are in the throes of pre-move inventory or at the "I - really - must - dig - these- quarters - out" stage, please keep the "0" Wives Child Care Center project in mind.

Top priority items include books, records, safe toys, used clothing and sheets. We plan to collect these at the April luncheon.

Under serious consideration is the purchase of a large, com- fortable rug to cover the ce- ment floor used by toddlers.

Already in the mail is an order for two four-piece triple- plated silver coffee services which will be available for bat- talion and squadron coffees or personal entertaining for the asking.

Our tIlanks to Edna Driver, Helen Thomas, Marni Betz, Ruth Purcelli and Mary Jim Philon for their thoughtful con- sideration in researching these beneficial projects for "0" Wives.

PMRF Prepares for Next Capsule Flight;

Pacific Recovery Probable for Astronaut By Joe Goode, J0-1

As the day approaches the final countdown for the space flight of Astronaut Leroy Gor- don Cooper, thousands of peo- ple around the world, repre- senting hundreds of occupa- tions, are progressively pre- paring for this 22-orbit flight by planning and testing for each phase of the operation.

At K-Bay's Pacific Missile Range Facility, control offi- cers, engineers, and technici- ans from the PMR Headquar- ters staff at Point Mugu, Calif., to the tiny coral Pacific islands have been planning for the air, land, sea, and undersea instrumentation support mis- sion to Project Mercury.

From the day of the last successful Mercury flight many of these men have been

making minute preparations for the tracking of the next capsule on its Pacific passages and to its successful recovery.

The planning and testing tempo h a s been increasing steadily here at Kaneohe Bay "down range" headquarters- the PMR Facility, Hawaiian Area.

Coordinating the eown range support for Project Mercury is Lt. D. D. Schaadt. As the Mercury Range Control Officer for PMRF, he liar, the job of coordinating the efforts of two tracking stations, four missile impact location sta- tions, a tracking ship, and four instrumented aircraft.

end to check out all battalion vehicles.

As soon as most men had checked in and had gotten their gear squared away, liberty call sounded and most troopers took advantage of their first Southern California visit.

Monday morning, however, all hands turned to to prepare for their part of Steel Gate,

nating the operation during the flight is Mr. C. L. Zehmer.

Although "down range" in- strumentation facilities - Ko- kee, Canton Island, ships and aircraft--will primarily moni- tor the space flight, one Range activity has a unique support- ing mission - a mission of listening through the depths of the Pacific Ocean for the sound made by a small bomb released from the spacecraft.

Normally the PMR missile impact location system (MILS) is used to detect and plot the impacts of ballistic missiles launched into the ocean from the West Coast.

Not only can the sensitive hydrophones pick up t h e sounds of missiles hitting the ocean targets hundreds of miles from the MILS sites, but also the sounds made by sea life such as whales and por- poises playing near the under- water phones.

Since the underwater sound recording system has proven reliable in pin-pointing mis- sile impacts, it is now being called upon to provide location data on the capsule's landing point.

During this coming Mercury operation, MILS will monitor the vast Pacific Ocean from time of lift-off to recovery.
