Commander’s ColumnColonel Gregory T. McDonald

Post Commander of Training Site Camp Edwards

Sometimes it is hard to believe that it is already June and the sun is shining when just a short time ago we were getting hit by blizzard after blizzard. Spring and summer days fly by compared to the seemingly longer lasting winter. Going forward regardless of the season, event, or mission, the soldiers of Camp Edwards and the MMR maintain their high level of skill and standard of excellence. Right as the summer sunshine begins Camp Edwards begins its busiest training season to support numerous events and training missions which prepare units and soldiers from all over the region for deployment overseas.

Over 2000 soldiers will train on base this summer performing Annual Training, pre-mobilization training, and other more specialized volunteer courses that involve rigorous physical and mental conditioning. Beginning in June the specialized courses include Air Assault School, Combative School levels 1 and 2, Pathfinder School, and the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge Course which all test a soldier’s physical and mental prowess. Individuals who volunteer to attend these schools are the types who always want to test themselves, push their limits, and overcome obstacles few would desire to attempt. Needless to say these courses provide soldiers with valuable knowledge and experience they can use throughout their military careers. Soldiers who graduate these schools become subject matter experts and are vital resources for their units as well.

On the surface most people would assume the Guard

would not play a continuing role overseas, but despite drawdown and the discussion of a withdrawal within the next year the Massachusetts National Guard will be deploying two more units in the next few months. Nowadays the National Guard has transformed from a homeland defense force to a mobilization ready, highly proficient, essential overseas asset and the frequent deployments are testament to that. With the 211 MP Battalion and the 3-126 AVN Battalion here on base preparing for deployment, Camp Edwards staff will assist in the quality training they need before mobilization. Regardless of the unit or mission, our staff is working hard as always to provide training and training requirements to all of the soldiers who rely on us. On top of the ongoing military mission requirements, there are recent and future events on base that are worth mentioning.

The construction on building 102 on Generals Boulevard has been completed as you may have noticed. Early on building 102 was the Headquarters of the 26th Infantry Division, Massachusetts National Guard, built in 1937 as part of the Works Project Administration (WPA). Then during the Second World War, two, two-story 700 series wooden buildings were constructed on either side adjacent to the main building. Having a need for more space, the United States Air Force connected the two outer buildings with the original building in the 1950s. In its history the building was used for various purposes, including the Headquarters for Camp Edwards, and after

the 1980s when the Commonwealth Armory in Boston was sold to Boston University; it became the home to the 26th Yankee Division.

Since the 26th Yankee Division was deactivated in 1994 the building remained vacant up until 4 May 2013 when the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony took place officially opening the new Camp Edwards Headquarters. Special acknowledgement goes to COL Richard V. Crivello who was a major factor behind the start and lengthy process of renewing building 102. His commitment to this base is extraordinary and it was my pleasure to assume Command of Camp Edwards. It has been an honor working with COL Crivello and enough cannot be said about his contributions to and his leadership over Camp Edwards, and I wish him well in his new assignment and future endeavors.

The planning of our Annual Camp Edwards Open House on 21-22 September 2013 has already begun. From previous years you may know we will be coordinating with the Otis Civilian Advisory Council, the MMR military branches, units throughout the state, law enforcement, local organizations, reenactment groups, and many others to bring a fun, enjoyable, and informative event to all to experience. Ultimately I hope this year’s event is an even bigger success than last year’s and until then I hope you all have a great summer and enjoy all the Cape and the MMR has to offer. COL McDonald

The Masonic Miliatary Assistance Project of Cape Cod (MMAP) announced that it has pledged to donate $2,000.00 to Nam Vets Association of Cape & Islands, headquartered in Hyannis, MA in their support of their activities with Veteran’s Outreach and assistance.NamVets, has recently celebrated its’ 30th Anniversary of providing service to veterans and their families of all eras. Incorporated to a 501 (C) 3 (Non-Profit) organization, the Massachusetts Nam Vets Association of the Cape & Islands look forward to the next 30 years of providing service through it’s officess in Hyannis and the new facility “Veterans Outreach Grace Center (VOGC) in Mashpee. The recently aquired property has been given a new mission…providing rehabilitation services to veterans and their families in a sub-acute outpatient holistic wellness environment; blending traditional therapies with alternative therapies such as: chiropratic, yoga, reiki, acupuncture, manual therapy, alternative sports, nutrition mentoring, financial counseling and much more services. Stand Downs are one part of the Department of Veterans

Affairs’ efforts to provide services to homeless veterans. Stand Downs are typically one to three day events providing services to homeless Veterans such as food, shelter, clothing, health screenings, VA and Social Security benefits counseling, and referrals to a variety of other necessary services, such as housing, employment and substance abuse treatment. Stand Downs are collaborative events, coordinated between local VAs, other government agencies, and community agencies who serve the homeless.

The first Stand Down was organized in 1988 by a group of Vietnam Veterans in San Diego. Since then, Stand Downs have been used as an effective tool in reaching out to homeless Veterans, reaching more than 200,000 Veterans and their family members between 1994-2000.

However, you do not have to be homeless to participate in it! Last year we had free haircuts, intro demonstrations to Reike & Massage Therapy, Representatives from DMV for license renewals (free) and much, much more!

Stand Down Cape Cod 2013 will take place Saturday August 10th on the grounds of Cape Cod Academy in Osterville.

Stand Down is also a military term designating that a combat unit was temporarily moved away from the fighting and back to a base area for rest and rehabilitation.

A civilian Stand Down is an opportunity to provide needed services to local vets including general health screenings, benefits assistance, dental care, and free clothing and hygiene items in a safe and welcoming environment.

The funding for Stand Down Cape Cod 2013 is the result of the Shelter From The Storm concert organized by high school students from across Cape Cod. Larry Brown, a faculty member at Cape Cod Academy and the facilitator behind the Shelter concert stated “it is wonderful for the students to see their hard work leveraged to help so many Vets here on the Cape”. The Duffy Health Center, the Nam Vets Association Outreach Center, and Cape Cod Academy are pleased to be working together to address the needs of Veterans across Cape Cod. To register, please contact Allison Fennell at Duffy Health Center 508-771-9599 or Merrill Blum at Nam Vets Association Veterans Outreach Center 508-778-1590.

ATTENTIONALL ACTIVE DUTY, RETIRED MILITARY, AND WOUNDED WARRIORS

FALMOUTH GTR “RUNS” away with preseason softball titleAfter a very long winter, softball returned to the base as the Jim Tabor Memorial Softball League sponsored by U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod held their annual preseason tourney. This year featured nine teams in single elimination play (lose and go home) battling for the mythical preseason title and bragging rights to start the regular season. Falmouth GTR (Got The Runs), coached by Jimbo Redmond and his band of merry men did not disappoint. The two-time defending champs rolled to three straight wins as they set the bar high for the upcoming season. This team is loaded with stars led by SS Caleb Anderson, 2B Chuck Wood, OF Jon “Wheels” Ewing, OF Aaron “The Big Puma” Service and cagey veterans like 3B Tim “Cuzzy” O’Connell and pitcher Paul “Tamale” Simonetti who garnered last year’s MVP trophy in the finals. The OTIS NOTICE Pirates led by Paul Bassick and Phil Wolf have been nipping at GTR’s heels the last two years, finishing second twice. The Pirates opened up the preseason by defeating the Average Joe’s 14-5. Pirate sluggers leading the way were SS Tim Utley who had 5 hits and 3 rbi’s, 1B Ken Kinsella had 4 hits and 2 rbi’s while OF Brian Perry had 2 hits and 4 rbi’s. The Average Joe’s got 2 HR’s from Steve Hester, who is not just an Average Joe. In fact, Steve plays for the Misfits, but he was filling and launched a couple of nice bombs. The Avg. Joe’s are sort of a new team that is rebuilding; they will be coached by Ryan Koch and Nick Borrelli. There is a new team in the league as the CG Air Station hangar has a team; the HC-Toros showed they will be a team to be reckoned with as they mauled the Medical team from CG Clinic by the score of 26-0. Sounds like somebody needed an AED to

jump start the Clinic team! The Toros were led by player-coach Josh Tonneas who bashed 2 HR’s and Danny Todd also busted one deep. Mike Zoltek pitched the shutout as the Toros advanced. The Clinic says that are the team to beat this year, (No, just kidding!) they are out to have some fun and enjoy some softball games; they are led by Sharon Minehart and Amanda Zarate. The Marine Lodge Masons led by Dave Hill, Joe LeBlanc and Morgan O’Neill grinded out a 13-12 victory over the Pave PAWS Air Force team, which is coached by Alvin “D-Train” Dean. But since the Marine Lodge had some scheduling conflicts, Pave PAWS advanced to the next round anyway. Blades of Glory, another Air Station team slugged out a 27-7 win over the Misfits; Blades are led by Levi Berg, Ethan Hill, Matt Steeber, Mike Heximer and Tyler Barrington. The Misfits are led by HR slugger Big “John” Weber, Steve Hester Fred Blumberg, Roger Gray, Tony Lombardi and Chris Lawson. In second round action the Toros proved they are for real as they dropped a close well played game to Falmouth GTR, losing 9-6. The Toros got big hits from Humberto Cruz and Mike Zoltek who each launched a 2-run homer. In the other side of the bracket the Pirates knocked off Pave PAWS 12-9 as Paul Bassick and Trever Ankeny each had 4 hits and 3 runs, Ken Kinsella added 4 hits and pitched a solid game while Joe “JP” Pitta and Phil “Wolfy” Wolf each contributed 3 hits. Pave PAWS started slow but made a rally to force the Pirates sweat out a close win. But the real jewel of the tourney was the semi-final game between Blades of Glory and Falmouth GTR. You would have never known this was a preseason game, and it speaks of the competition that the league will offer this year as it took EXTRA innings for GTR to dull the Blades. GTR won the game, 21-20 in the bottom of the 8th inning on a walk-off homerun by Jon “Wheels” Ewing. What a game! So once again the final featured the same two teams in last year’s finale as GTR took on the Pirates. Unfortunately for the Pirates, this game was decided early as GTR pulled ahead 8-2 after two innings and they coasted to a 9-3 victory with some timely base hits and solid defense, led by the stellar play of SS Caleb Anderson and the pitching of Paul “Tamale” Simonetti. The Pirates made some early mistakes and just did not do enough with the bats, despite getting 2 hits from Andy “Liebs” Lieberwerth (1 HR) and a two-run single from Paul Bassick. Three runs are not going to cut it against the two-time defending champs. GTR got big hits from Chuck Wood, Caleb, Darold “Dewey” Evans, Phil “P-Rod” Rodriguez, Cuzzy O’Connell and Ryan “Snuse” Moore. Clearly they are the team to beat in 2013. Also lurking in the shadows is the Barnstable

County Sheriffs team, although they did participate in the preseason, they will be a force to be reckoned with when the real games begin at the end of May. They are loaded with stars like Chris “Colonel” Potter, perennial HR Derby finalist Chris Card, John Cinelli, Jamie “The Giant” Gendron, Ray-Ray Marks, player-coach Kevin McGuigan, Ron “Carpy” Carpenter and Jamie Sylvia. They feature an all-star at just about every position. So all ten teams are geared up and ready to slug it out on the Otis diamonds and all are thankful for the efforts of CG Rec. Specialist Mitch “Fair” Weathers and AF Rec. Specialist Heather Hurley who have helped get the fields in good shape for the season. So now it’s time to find out who if anyone, can “RUN” down Falmouth GTR and snatch the Jim Tabor Memorial Softball title from their clutches, it won’t be easy, but it sure will be fun trying! Anyone wishing to join a team should contact Mitch Weathers at 508-968-6444. Games are played Monday through Thursday from late May to the end of July and finish up with the playoffs in August.

The Otis 4H Adventure Club got to participate in a program at the Cape Cod BMX track on May 28th. The kids were excited to show how much they were practicing on their bikes just for this night. The hills and turns on the track look very intimidating when standing next to them but the junior mentors were a huge help getting up and down the hills, all the way to the finish line. The hardest thing to remember is to stand up on your bike for the most power and pedal as fast as you can to get up the hills. This BMX

To show our appreciation for those who serve in the U.S. Military, and those who have served and whom we recall with gratitude on Memorial Day, the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park reminds military families that the National Park Service offers an annual pass offering free entrance to all 401 national parks for active duty military members and their dependents.

“We all owe a debt to those who sacrifice so much to protect our country,” said New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park Superintendent Jen Nersesian. “We are proud to recognize these brave men and women and hope that a visit to this or any national park will offer an opportunity to unwind, relax, rejuvenate, and just have fun with their families.”

Active duty members of the U.S. Military and their dependents may pick up their pass at the park visitor center at 33 William Street in downtown New Bedford. They must show a current, valid military identification card to obtain their pass. More information is available at www.nps.gov/findapark/passes.htm.

This military version of the America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass also permits free entrance to sites managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the U.S. Forest Service. The pass is also available at these locations.

“Through the years, military members, especially those far from home in times of conflict, have found inspiration in America’s patriotic icons and majestic landscapes, places like the Statue of Liberty and the Grand Canyon that are cared for by the National Park Service and symbolize the nation that their sacrifices protect,” said National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis. “This new pass is a way to thank military members and their families for their service and their sacrifices.”

National parks and the military have strong ties going back to the establishment of Yellowstone as the world’s first national park in 1872. The U.S. Cavalry watched over America’s national parks and did double duty, serving as the first park rangers until the National Park Service was created 44 years later. During World War II, many parks were set aside for the training and care of military personnel. Today, dozens of national parks commemorate military battles and achievements.
