Reserve call-up request to go to President Clint Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON—A call-up request for U.S. reserve forces to support Operation Allied Force in Europe will soon go to the president. Pentagon officials said April 19.

Officials also said the emergency supplemental bill to fund ongoing U.S. participation in the strikes against Yugoslavia is set at $6 billion and is on its way to Congress for approval. The supplemental will fund ongoing strikes, humanitarian aid and some mission expenses incurred during Operation Desert Fox.

The supplemental bill is something of a readiness safety net. Once approved, the services will no longer have to pay for the Allied Force mission by taking from funds that are used to maintain overall military readiness.

Air Force Maj. Gen. Charles Wald, Vice Director for strategic plans and policy with the Joint Staff, said the humanitarian effort is going well. Some 54 nations are now involved with feeding and housing the Kosovar Albanians.

Eleven countries have started taking in the refugees. This support is coming at a crucial time as over 24,000 Kosovar Albanians crossed into Albania and Macedonia

according to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. Wald said the UNHCR estimates that 150,000 to 200,000 more refugees could cross the borders by April 24.

Allied Force pilots continued to hammer Serbia and Serb forces in Kosovo. NATO officials said more than 8,500 sorties have been flown to date andNATO continues to degrade Milosevic's capability to wage war.

NATO firepower will soon increase with the addition of U.S. Army Apache helicopters. The Apaches are due to arrive in Tirana April 20. U.S. officials said Gen. Wesley Clark, the S upreme Allied Commander, Europe would make the final decision on when the tank-killer choppers would enter combat.

While Army and Air Force engineers have worked nonstop to prepare the airfield at Tirana for the Apaches, the conditions are still primitive. Wald showed pictures of military trucks mired in mud at the airfield site. He said engineers are still placing aluminum mats at the site.

The introduction of the Apaches into the operation is part of a larger buildup of military firepower. The Pentagon is currently working on a request from Clark for 300 additional aircraft.

"What (Clark) has requested is a capability," said Wald

at an April 17 briefing. According to Wald, the Joint Staff will work with the regional commanders in chief to evaluate the request and present NATO with the capability.

This may mean 300 aircraft or it could be fewer. At the briefing, Pentagon spokesman Navy CAPT Mike Doubleday announced the Kosovo Liberation Army had captured a Yugoslav army lieutenant and turned him over to Albanian authorities. The Albanians turned him over to the U.S. Army in Tirana, Albania. Doubleday said the lieutenant is being treated as a prisoner of war.

"Two representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross visited the Yugoslav army officer, who is in the hands of U.S. authorities," Doubleday said. The lieutenant was allowed to write his family and received a physical exam by U.S. officials.

"This was all in accordance with the Geneva Convention and also in stark contrast, I might add, to the treatment that the three soldiers who were abducted by Yugoslav forces late last month have been afforded since their abduction," Doubleday said. "Those individuals have yet to meet with the ICRC, although the ICRC is continuing to attempt to meet with them, nor to our knowledge have they been given an opportunity to

Fiber optics send Corps into 21st century at speed of lij Cpl. Brandon L. Rizzo Camp Lejeune correspondent

Sitting in front of your computer, you're waitingforanimportantfile to download. You can not finish your work until the download is done. Any minute now, 20 seconds left, 8 seconds ... no, 56 seconds... what's going on here?

Sometimes itseems like we'regrowing older while we wait for our internet connections to transfer data, but the ingenuity of mankind

has found a solution to that problem. This solution is called fiber optics.

Camp Lejeune began planning the transition to fiber optics from shielded twisted-pair copper wiring in April 1996, according to Sgt. Deborah L. Harcher, Wide Area Network (WAN) Manager, Information Systems Management Division (ISMD).

Fiber optics consists of glass fibers, each about the width of a human hair. These fibers are used to pass information through a network by transmitting pulses of light, each

pulse standing for a number code. Each code, which is merely a series of ones and zeros, stands for a different letter of the alphabet. A series of codes could make up a word or a sentence, or any group of information; even music. This information travels through the glass fibers at the speed of light, increasing communication speeds by 178 times, according to Harcher.

The advantages of fiber optics outweigh the disadvantages greatly, said LCpl. David Ishmael, WAN Manager, ISMD.

2d Marine Division goes to fiber optics Cpl. Brandon L. Rizzo Camp Lejeune correspondent

"Eight buildings are completely installed," said Bryant. "Our goal for completion is the end of May."

that can pass data and be simultaneously used as a voice line, DSL is much cheaper

than using fiber optics. Though it's slower than fiber, it's still

approximately 20 times faster than standard modems and phone lines, according to Bryant.

The installation of this technology is critical in improving Division's infrastructure, Bryant added.

"2d Marine Division has worked very hard toward this," said Bryant.

The division's commanding general has even put some extra money toward the project, according to Bryant.

"We're working toward being one step ahead as we move into the 21 st century," said Bryant

So far, 2d Marine Division has spent around ahalf million dollars on the garrison infrastructure fiber optics and DSL project.

'It's the best thing we've done," said Ishmael.

Once the transition is complete, the systems will be able to handle streaming audio and voice-over Internet Protocol (I.P.).

An example of streaming audio would be listening to a live radio broadcast online. Voice-over I.P. is basically video teleconferencing. For example, if you had a video camera and a microphone hooked up to your computer, you could communicate with someone else who had this equipment as well. On a fiber-optic connection, the data would transmit so fast, that it would be like having that person in the same building as you. No matter how far away they were, there would be very minimal delay in the transmission between users and resources on the network.

"Information passes through a fiber-optic network at about 186,000 miles per second," said Ishmael. "That's the speed of light."

To research the productivity of the new system, ISMD conducted tests of the fiber-optic networks at various buildings. The results were incredible, according to Ishmael. Though the rest of the test results were very similar, one building was recorded transferring a 10-megabytefilein lOseconds. Previously, on the copper-wire system, a file this size took 34 minutes and 26 seconds to transfer.

Girl Scout troops, including Brownie troops, from Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River, held their annual Camporee April 9-11 at the Tarawa Terrace scouting area.

The girls, ranging in age from 6 to 15, spent three days and two nights at the campsite, which sits on the bank of the New River. There were nine troops total at the Camporee, which had a western theme.

Upon arriving at the site Friday evening, the troops pitched their tents and started their campfires. Each troop competed against the others to see who could make the best-decorated entrance to their tent area, using only natural elements, such as leaves and branches.

"It's just friendly competition amongst the girls," said Amy Roberts, a Camporee committee member. "It kind of kicks off the weekend."

Saturday was the busiest day forthe girls, according to Roberts. The day was filled with games and competitions,

such as relay races. The constant activity kept both scouts and parents busy all day.

"They really wore us out," said Roberts of the girls. Saturday evening featured the highlight of the

Camporee, according to Roberts. The troops dedicated a new flagpole during a ceremony. This was a big deal for the troops, as the girls raised money for the flagpole on their own, through fund-raising campaigns, such as cookie sales. The pole now stands tall and proud next to the water at the campsite, and is a tribute to the troops' hard work and endless dedication.

"The girls worked really hard and put in a lot of hours to raise money for the flagpole," said Lynne Sebring, Camporee Coordinator. "We are really proud of them." The girls will now use the pole to display their troop flags during scouting events, according to

Sebring. Saturday night, the girls gathered around

a bon-fire and sang songs to wind down the evening's festivities.

The scout coordinators were extremely pleased with the outcome of this year's Camporee, according to Roberts. The girls had fun, the parents had fun, and unlike last year's Camporee, the weather cooperated.

"We got lucky with the weather," said Roberts. "We had to reschedule last year because of storms. We had lightning and everything." The only weather concern this year was a gusty wind Friday evening, which made pitching tents and starting fires somewhat of a challenge.

For more information about the Girl Scouts, including information about how a daughter can join, call Lynne Sebring at 346-8104, or call the Camp Lejeune Scouting coordinator at 451-2106.

The week of April 11-17 marked the annual celebration of National Library Week. The theme for this year's celebration was "Read! Learn! Connect! @ the Library" and it was celebrated in different ways at various locations in Jacksonville and aboard Camp Lejeune.

The Onslow County Public Library celebrated the week with a couple different events. The first event was the Family Internet Workshop, conducted Monday through Thursday, which was open to the public.

The goal was to connect with the parents and children to help them learn more about the Internet, and to help parents learn more about the sites their children should and should not see. Deborah Wadleigh, a librarian at the public library, was trying to teach parents and children safe Internet browsing techniques and safe Internet sites for young children to visit.

"I encouraged all the parents to attend. It was a really good class for the parents and children. I offered to the parents who could not attend, a private class, one on one, if the parents wanted. I think all parents should be aware of what is on the Internet and what their children should not see," said Wadleigh.

The other program the Onslow County Public Library did was the gardening class. There were more than 70 people who attended. The Onslow County Public Library and the Onslow County Cooperative Extension Service (OCCES) hosted the class, with Jeff Morton, horticulturist, an agent of the OCCES, as the guest speaker.

The class was designed to teach people about different plants and how to take proper care of them. According

to Wadleigh, various local stores in Jacksonville donated door prizes for the people who attended the class.

Russell Elementary School aboard Camp Lejeune celebrated the week with different activities. Some of the activities included door decorations and making posters for the school. The school also had students read to classes of younger students and they also started the Outstanding Reader Challenge.

"We like to read. Itis why we joined the Outstanding Reader Challenge."

The Outstanding Reader Challenge promotes a challenge to the students to read more than their peers and better comprehend the books.

After a student finishes reading a book, they are given a quiz about the book. Each question answered correctly is worth points for the student. The points are then totaled until the end of the school year. At the end of the school year, the student who has the most points receives an award for a job well done.

Students enjoyed the learning experience. "It helps me to read better because I have trouble reading," said Andrea Tagliabue, 3rd grade, Russell Elementary School.

"The students are encouraged to read all the books they can, both the ones on the reading list and those not on the list. This program is trying to challenge the students to learn more and try harder," said Donna Fowler, librarian, Russell Elementary School.

Another student enjoyed the time he got to spend in the library, also. "The more I read, the more excited I get about reading. I want to read more books with harder chapters and harder words." said Jonathain Tatum, 3rd Grade, Russell Elementary School.

Another highlight of National Library Week celebrated aboard Camp Lejeune was the open house Tarawa Terrace I Elementary School had for

the week. Parents were opportunity to check the out of class to visit the mec the school. There wet activities for the parents ai I to engage in for fun. Sc activities included: skil computers, and crafts.

Brown added that the brig is required to provide a work program so units needing assistance may get the necessary help.

Some examples of work the prisoners do, are pick up trash, do janitorial work, help with recycling, and even work for base telephone.

Lejeune to support Special Olympics World Games '99 2ndLt. Clint A. Cascaden Community Relations

Camp Lejeune Marines will be among the thousands of volunteers who will make this summer's Special Olympics World Summer Games (SOWSG) a success.

The Games, which will be held in the Raleigh. N.C., area between June 26 and July 4, 1999. will be this year's largest sporting event worldwide with more than 7.000 participants ex-pected.

Camp Lejeune will support the city of Jacksonville in its role as Host City for the Australian delegation the week prior to this year's opening cer-emonies.

In addition. Lejeune Marines are taking on sizeable projects to help SOWSG organizers prepare for the ar-rival of athletes from around the world.

There are still plenty of other op-portunities to get involved with the SOWSG however, both at the indi-vidual and small-unit level.

One way a small unit could get in-volved in the games is by becoming a "spectator team."

A small unit or other organization would arrange to travel to the Raleigh

area to cheer on one of the many in-ternational teams competing in the SOWSG.

Many of the teams will be visiting from halfway around the world with-out any fans to cheer for them.

Support of a.spectator team would be vital to the Special Olympics expe-rience for the athletes.

This is only a one-day commitment and would only require arranging bus transportation and bag lunches.

For anyone interested in becom-ing an individual volunteer, the stan-dard commitment is for three days, six hours per day during SOWSG.

Some prior training meetings are also required.

In addition, neither the Marine Corps nor Special Olympics can pro-vide transportation, messing or bil-leting. Volunteers would also have to arrange for liberty with their individual commands.

These opportunities are not lim-ited to active duty military.

Family members or groups of fam-ily members are encouraged to get in-volved. |

For more information on group or individual volunteer opportunities, contact GySgt. Webber, Base Opera-tions. at 451-1714.

As the world turns: when NATO was born in 1949 J im G a r a m o n e

! American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON — Harry Truman was in the White House. He had just staged argu-ably the biggest election upset ever in presi-dential politics. Junior congressmen and fu-ture presidents John Kennedy and Richard Nixon started their second terms. Joe Stalin was still absolute ruler of the Soviet Union.

1949, the year the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was born, was tumultuous. Nothing ruled American and Western foreign policy as much as the oncoming freeze of the Cold War, and NATO was just one of the outcomes. To understand NATO and what it has come to mean, it helps to look at the world of 1949.

After building the world's most powerful war machine for World War II, the United States dismantled its military when the shoot-ing stopped. The Soviets had 10million men under arms in Europe. The U.S. Army had about two-and-a-half divisions.

Winston Churchill said after the war that over half of Eiurope was behind an "Iron Cur-tain/' referring to the Eastern and Central European nations under Soviet control. The continent was in ruins and faced economic and political chaos.

To counter the Soviet presence and threat on their eastern flank, five Western European nations penned a defense treaty in 1948. Within 13 months, April 1949, representatives of the original five members, the United States and six other nations gathered in Washing-ton to sign a pact creating an expanded, North Atlantic alliance. Even as the treaty ink dried, Europe was celebrating the first anniversary

of the Marshall Plan, the aid program named after Secretary of State George C. Marshall, wartime Army chief of staff and five-star gen-eral. The United States had presented the plan in 1947.

Western Europe embraced the Marshall Plan and was using it to feed its millions and to rebuild its shattered infrastructure. The plan gave Western Europeans hope. Ernest Bevin, then British foreign minister, said it had "saved Europe."

The Soviets and their satellites spumed America's helping hand. As a result, some of their war-damaged infrastructure would be in rubble for another 40 years.

At home, Americans feared communist in-fluence at home. Congress was in the midst of investigating allegations that Alger Hiss, a senior official in the Roosevelt administra-tion, was a Soviet spy. On April 2,1949, New York Gov. Thomas Dewey signed a bill to "eliminate from the public school system teachers and other employees who are Com-munists or fellow travelers."

When the Russians' Berlin blockade ended on May 12,1949, U.S., British and French fli-ers were delivering 8,000 tons of supplies daily to the beleaguered German city. The Western allies had started the airlift, an un-precedented lifeline for 2.5 million people, soon after the Russians sealed off the city on June 24,1948.

Mao Zedong (Tse-tung)'s communist forces drove the Nationalists from mainland China to the offshore island of Formosa — Taiwan — in 1949. Israel, having survived a war with its Arab neighbors, became a mem-ber of the United Nations. The Soviets deto-nated an atomic bomb in September. West

Germany and East Germany became nations. Much of what is commonplace to Americans today did not exist in 1949 or was just being developed. There were few computers, and experts of the day thought only a few indus-tries, like insurance, would find them helpful. The computers of 1949 filled whole rooms and contained thousands of glass vacuum tubes. They could solve math problems in the light-ning speed of seconds and really complex ones in perhaps a few minutes. Vacuum tube? Think of a transistor or microchip the size of a small light bulb — and putting out the heat to match.

Most Americans got their entertainment through radio or movies, but more than 100,000 per week were buying their first tele-visions. The sets consisted of large cabinets encasing tiny screens showing fuzzy black and white pictures. Programming was limited. "Refrigerated air conditioning" was just start-ing to reach homes. Passenger jets were still on the drawing boards.

Rocketry was interesting to the military and not many others. Man-made satellites were theoretical. General of the Army D wight Eisenhower would soon be named the NATO supreme commander, and General of the Army Douglas MacArthur was still the "viceroy" of Japan.

Few Americans had ever heard of Korea, and Vietnam was part of an obscure French colony in Southeast Asia. Hawaii and Alaska were still exotic, remote U.S. territories. The flags of only four independent nations flew in Africa; Europeans still held sway over much it and Asia. The United Nations met in Lake Success, N.Y.

In 1949, the National Military Establish-

ment of the United States became the De-partment of Defense. The Air Force B-50 bomber Lucky Lady II circled the globe; it refueled four times. Army privates made $75. The enlisted ranks stopped at E-7. Ensigns and second lieutenants made $213.75.

On Broadway. Americans saw the premiere of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman." which would later win the Pulitzer Prize. Humphrey Bogart and Bette Davis were the highest paid actors in Hollywood, making kingly thousands of dollars per picture. "The Treasure of Sierra Madre " "The Sands of Iwo Jima" and "All the King's Men" filled movie screens.

Norman Mailer published his war novel "The Naked and the Dead." There were no interstate highways or freeways. Cars cost around $2,500 and the lineup included many now-defunct brands such as DeSoto, Studebaker, Nash and Hudson. Average Americans had never heard of Toyota, Honda or Volkswagen; the idea of driving a Japa-nese or German car would have been, at once, both ridiculous and unpatriotic. A coat cost $40. A pound of chopped meat cost a quarter.

When the 12 charter nations inked the NATO Pact, they had hopes for deterring aggression. An attack on one, they agreed, would be an attack on all. This was some-thing new in diplomacy: a defensive alliance with teeth.

Fifty years later, the alliance readies to admit three more members — nations that were on the other ideological side during the Cold War. The alliance strives to reinvent it-self with the end of the conflict. But its main purpose was fulfilled: Europe has enjoyed its longest period of peace in modern times.

Library to visit North Carolina battlefields Compiled by library staff Camp Lejeune base library

North Carolina is rich with the American Civil War tradition. Battlefields of this war stretch from the coast to the mountains and from the beginning of the war to its end. Over the-summer. the base library is adding a new twist to the monthly PME seminars by con-

1 ducting walking tours of three nearby civil war battlefields: Fort Macon, Fort Fisher and Bentonville.

The first tour of the summer is Fort Fisher June 29. The fort is 90 minutes south of Jack-sonville following Highway 17 to state route 421. A massive earthen fort. Fort Fisher guarded the entrance of the Cape Fear River and the port of Wilmington. Throughout most of the war, Fort Fisher served as safe haven for blockade runners, who brought in an estimated $3.2 million worth of material. The fall of Fort Fisher to Union forces in Janu-ary of 1865 effectively cut the Confederacy's life line to the rest of the world and completed

Gen. Winfield Sscott's Anaconda Plan. The next stop on the summer battlefield tour is July 27 located toward highway 70.

Fort Macon is a pentagon shaped masonry fort, built in 1826, at the end of Bogue Banks.

In April 1862, after a brief union siege and naval bom-bardment, Fort Macon surren-dered. With Macon's capitu-lation, Union forces had com-plete control of the Carolina coast. Additionally, Fort Macon's quick demise dem-onstrated the ineffective-ness of masonry forts to artillery fire. The last stop on the summer battlefield tour is Aug. 31 at Bentonville battlefield, a 90-minute ride from Jacksonville along Interstate 40 near Raleigh.

The battle of Bentonville, was fought March 19-21 and was the last major battle of

the Civil War. The Confederate forces, under Gen. Joe Johnston, made a weak attempt at stopping the union juggernaut led by Gen.

William T. Sherman as it steamrolled its way through the Carolinas. The south's hope of any kind of victory ended with the defeat of the confed-erate forces at Bentonville.

The tour will consist of one to two vans, maximum number of passengers will be 22 and a nominal fee per pas-senger may be charged. The vans will leave the base li-brary at 11a.m. and return to Camp Lejeune at approxi-mately 5 p.m. Reservations

will be accepted until 2 p.m. on the Friday preceding each trip. To learn more about the Civil War battles and other North Carolina history or to reserve a seat on this summer's Civil War Battlefield Tour, con-tact Glenn Pappas at 451 -5724.

Military spouse day William Cohen Secretary of Defense

1 am pleased to designate May 1.4 as military spouse day. Each year, since 1984, the services have set aside a spe-cial day to recognize the innumerable contributions of military spouses. These women and men face many chal-lenges as they manage the unique de-mands military life places on them and their families. Dealing with deploy-ments, family separations, and frequent moves requires special skills and com-mitment. Throughout the history of this country, military spouses have proven that they are up to these chal-lenges. Their support and dedication provide a vital element of stability to service members and to our military communities. As we celebrate military spouse day, I offer my personal thanks to every military spouse for a job well done.

'The more capable and qualified men and

Due to the growing number of deploying Marines, there is an increase in misdirected and delayed mail.

The Camp Lejeune Consolidated Post Of-fice has a simple request for base residents and deploying units planning to receive mail. To limit misdirected letters and packages, fol-lowing a simple format speeds up the routing process.

"Every day we receive about 2,200 pieces of misdirected mail. If the correct format isn't used, the mail will be delayed a few days and may be returned to-the sender," said the Base Postal Chief GySgt. Ronald C. Williams.

When units prepare to deploy, they re-ceive mail-handling instructions from the postal officer. Carefully following these in-structions is imperative to prevent mail in-tended for a the deployed Marine being sent to his or her old address at Camp Leje-une.

"We are having a big problem with units not following the mail handling instructions and not receiving their mail. If they leave the base on a deployment lasting more than 90 days they need to change their fleet post office address or they will not receive their mail. The same for when they return to Leje-une, the address needs to be changed again so mail won't be sent abroad," said GySgt. John Mackrell, Postal Operations chief.

Common problems associated with not changing the unit's address when returning to Lejeune are misdirected Marine Corps Institute's (MCI) and publications.

If the unit has successfully changed its address and deploys, it must also establish

liaison with its serving postal officer if the Marines move to a different area of the coun-try they're visiting for training. "We cannot fix their problems if we don't know where the unit is. If they are moving their Marines to a different part of the country for another as-pect of their training they need to let the serv-ing post office know where they will be," said Mackrell.

For Marines, Sailors and their families on base, the postal service center box (PSC) and the five-digit box number are very important. Punctuation is allowed in the address but isn't preferred, and the organizations should be abbreviated.

Mail that has been misdirected is sent to a special section of the post office. There, postal clerks attempt to locate the person's correct address in a postal direc-tory. Mail to people unable to be located are labeled undeliverable and returned to the sender.

Williams says 30,000 pieces of mail pass through the post office every day, and it would get to addressees quicker with proper address "hygiene."

Residents can obtain their correct ad-dress format from any military post or unit mail room. According to Mackrell, deployed Marines not receiving mail can talk to their mail clerk who is responsible for investigat-ing the problem.

The correct format for personal mail should go as follows:

- First line: Grade, Full name - Second line: Battalion, Company, Pla-

toon, and work section - Third line: Postal Service Center Box

Marines celebrate month of military child General C. C. Krulak Commandant of the Marine Corps

Washington —Since 1986 the Secre-tary of Defense has desig-nated each April as "The Month of the Military Child"

Our children are an in-spiration and source of pride. It is fitting that we reflect and recognize the contributions and personal sacrifices our children make to our Corps.

Frequent moves and extended family

separation make Marine Corps life es-pecially challenging. As we celebrate "The Month of the Military Child," I of-fer my personal thanks to each Marine Corps family.

Commands are encouraged to plan appropriate activities that will focus at-

tention on issues concerning our children and our responsibility to

them. 1 ask you to support

youth programs and de-velop initiatives that will benefit military children now and in the future. Semper Fidelis.

6 A The Globe, Camp Lejeune, N.C. April 23, 1999 News Marine Prowlers fulfill vital role in NATO airstrikes over Yugoslav 2ndLt. John O. Caldwell MCAS Cherry Point media officer

AVIANO AIR BASE, Italy— When NATO warplanes operating in supportof Operation Allied Force tear into the sky above Aviano Air Base, Italy, there are usually two things they can count on: lethal enemy opposition, and a near neutralization of its threat courtesy of the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

"Without the EA-6B, without the ability to shut down enemy radars, either temporarily through our jamming or permanently through the launch of our HARMs (high-speed antiradiation missiles), some of these packages would not be able to make it to the target and back safely," said LtCol. Steve Keim, Commanding Officer, Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 2, 2d Marine

Aircraft Wing. The EA-6B Prowler has become a

silent hero in Operation Allied Force —almost always in the sky, in support of most attacks, rarely mentioned in the news, but very appreciated by other pilots.

"You'll see F-16 pilots coming up to them (Prowler aircrew) and shaking their hands and saying, 'we're really glad you guys are out here helping us out,"' said Cpl. Pedro R. Hernandez, aviation mechanic, VMAQ-2.

Following last weeks return of VMAQ-1 to Incirlick, Turkey, the Corps now has approximately eight Prowlers and 300 personnel deployed to Aviano in support of the NATO operation. VMAQ-2 and elements of VMAQ-4 remain in Aviano.

VMAQ-2 was the first to arrive in Aviano February 20.

"We were originally brought in support the contingency operation,

and we'll remain as long as it takes for us to complete the operation here," Keim said. "We have no definite time

period as to when we plan to return to Cherry Point, North Carolina."

Considering the capabilities of the

Prowler and examining their piece of the air campaign, it's easy see why they're likely to see this operation to the end.

"We can do basically two things: we do what we call electronic surveillance measures or ESMs in which we go ahead and locate and identify enemy radar systems, S AMs (surface-to-air missile) systems, as well as enemy aircraft," Keim said.

Similar to ESM but more aggressive in nature, is the second primary mission — electronic countermeasures.

"We will then take and jam the appropriate surface-to-air radars,-whether they be early warning radar, target track radars, things of that nature," Keim said.

Although Prowler protection of strike aircraft is critical to the success of most missions, Keim said the coverage has a price tag.

"The strike package: us to provide them the safety.that they need to of the target areas," he same time, we also de] elements of the strike pa caps—the F-16s and F-1 to provide us protection assets.

Black also explained that historically, the forest has burned every three years, usually from lightning strikes.

"Occasionally the Native Americans would burn it too," said Black. "In fact, this forest evolved this way." Black added that the forestry division also burns the brush on a regular five-year cycle to minimize fuel for fires.

So, next time you see a large cloud of smoke hanging overCamp Lejeune, the Base Forestry Division is probably hard at work.

If the smoke is black, then the fire is more intense, and the firefighters most likely have their hands full.

"No need to worry, we've got it under control," said Black.

For the past two months, following the completion of Spanish Amphibious Exercise in mid-January, the MEU and its Marines and Sailors have been poised and ready to sup-port NATO missions. This was the second NATO mission the MEU has participated in since the air strikes began nearly three weeks ago. Elements of the 24th MEU(SOC) Com-mand Element and Battalion Landing Team 1/ 6 deployed ashore via HMM 266 helicopters to the Former Yugoslav Republic of

Macedonia in April for humanitarian assis-tance operations. They erected tents for refu-gees who had been displaced from their homes in Kosovo. Additionally, they helped estab-lish a proposed refugee camp in the northern Macedonia village of Cegrane, although the Macedonian Government decided not to con-struct the campsite.

This latest mission demonstrated the flex-ibility of the MEU(SOC). In only a matter of days, the unit recovered its Marines and

equipment from the FYROM made the trek to the Adriatic Se forces in support of the NAT operation.

applied to the driver's state license. Rogers said the two units, Marine Corps

Base and 2d Marine Division, cooperated be-cause it was a good way to work together; using the 'two heads are better than one' theory to control rising traffic violations.

Rogers is currently investigating l .300 ac-cidents, and if MPs prevent some of these accidents through the use of the checkpoints, Rogers job becomes easier.

Rogers said this is just the beginning of the checkpoints and they are never in the same places, so motorists cannot know where to expect them.

The checkpoint had two lanes for traffic violations, such as drivers failing to wear a seat belt, and two lanes for safety inspec-tions. MPs check to make sure signal lights, headlights and brake lights were working, and looked for any other things, which could prove dangerous, like bald tires. MPs also checked to ensure motorists were not on the

list of suspended drivers. Although not in use, Rogers said PMO

has two North Carolina Division of Criminal Issuance (DCI) computers, which allow MPs to run a driver's license and plate to see if their registration is current and to see if the driver has any state violations. Rogers said as soon as MPs get a DCI certification they will be using them at the checkpoints and when motorists are pulled over for violations. The DCI systems will provide better commu-nication between MPs and other law enforce-ment agencies.

Some vehicles stopped at the checkpoint did not have current state inspection stick-ers. These motorists had their base decals removed from their windows and were re-quired to rectify the problem before being is-sued a new decal. Motorists whose wheels protruded past the body of their vehicle had their decals scraped, which became policy with a change of base order in July 1998. Five

LCpl. Michael B. Vrabel The crowd at the Spring Games cheers enthusiastically as a participant in a race approaches the finish line.

Special Olympians strut stuff at U LCpl. Mike B. Vrabel Camp Lejeune correspondent

The Special Olympics 1999 Spring Games took place April 16 on the Lejeune High School Athletic Field, allowing special children a chance to show-off their athletic talents.

Children from Jacksonville and surrounding towns were able to participate in the games thanks to the support of elementary, middle, and high schools from the area.

The competitors, who ranged in age from 3 to 18, participated and competed in such games as races, ball tosses, and field events like the running long jump and the 100-meter dash.

The Spring Games kicked off after Elizabeth Hochstrasser, a Special Olympics World Games cycling athlete, lit the ceremonial Special Olympics torch

in front of a cheering crowd. The championship spirit of the Special

Olympics was exemplified by Jessica Martinez, a Special Olympics equestrian athlete from Onslow County, during the Opening ceremonies.

"Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt," said Martinez.

"This is such an extraordinary opportunity for handicapped children," said Sylvia Home, a Special Olympics representative from Jacksonville.

Some of the guests on hand at the Spring Games 1999 included the Lejeune High School Marching Band and the United States Marine Corps color guard.

Editor's note: Winners from the Spring Games will advance to the State Special Olympics. Winners from the state competition will be considered for the Special Olympics World Summer Games June 26 - July 4.

Marine's originality, creativity leads to succe Cpl. Melissa R. Watts Camp Lejeune correspondent

Careers vary. Some Marines may choose to stick it out to retirement whereas others may serve four years and move on; either is a respectable goal.

One Marine is already on the road to success with his own business which stems from his creativity.

Cpl. Lawrence Jackson, correspondent clerk, adjutant's office, Headquarters and Support Baltalion, 2d Force Service Support Group, will soon be leaving the Corps to pursue the dreams he had in high school of using his love for poetry and flair for graphic arts.

Corps provides building blocks for Marine's future goals "The Marine Corps has helped

me get on my feet and has given me the discipline to follow through with my goals, but its time for me to move on," said Jackson, a Washington D.C. native.

Like many Marines, Jackson has taken some off-duty education classes and thinks he may one day pursue a career as a certified public accountant.

But his love of writing poetry fuels his fire for his business ideas of creating his own line of greeting cards.

Two years ago Jackson was shopping, when he ran across a booth

selling personalized computer generated poems and designs. When Jackson inquired about submitting some of his own poems for use, he was given phone number after phone number and never successfully received a reply from anyone.

Jackson decided he could easily provide the same printing and design service with a personal touch. After purchasing a computer about four months ago, Jackson, using some of his own poems, began designing greeting cards and other things with pictures of his children.

"I brought some of the pieces I designed to work and everyone was

impressed. People began asking me to make them things. I decided to start charging them since the materials necessary are expensive," said Jackson.

With a scanner and a color printer, Jackson turns simple things like snapshots into decorative memorabilia for people to hang in their homes as gifts or personal reminders of a meaningful event.

"What makes what I do unique is the personal touch I put into each piece. I can scan photos provided to me, and I write poems specific to the occasion," said Jackson.

"I haven't heard of a business offering such a service to anyone," he added.

Jackson helps his aunt in Washington, D.C., by making letterheads, invitations, and invoices for businesses in her area.

He hopes one day he and his aunt will merge their businesses and start a successful chain of stores.

"I have looked into small business loans, but I haven't narrowed down my objectives for how I would like it to run," said Jackson.

Beginning from a blank piece of paper and pictures provided, Jackson comes up with original ideas for layout, design and messages. Without the help from program disks put on the market by some greeting card companies, Jackson generally produces four pieces of original art a week.

"It is hard finding time to fill my orders between my two children, fiancee, and a full-time job," said Jackson.

"I do plan on pursuing a career in accounting but it is definitely a dream, of mine to be my own boss and run a successful business. It will be exciting to see it all come together," he said

With a little initiative and some creativity any Marine has the potential to own and run their own business.

airshow,"said 13-year-old Sara New Bern, N.C. "This is the ve been to and it's great.".

Children of all ages, from three to 99, had the opportunity to see daredevil pilots perform snap rolls, loops and other maneuvers that thrilled thecrowd. Performers included'Tiger" Tom Klassen in his SU-26 painted up like a Bengal tiger, Fowler Cary in his T-33 Walt Lindscott in his YAK-55, Ian Groom in an SU-31, and the Bud Light micro-jet.

Spectators also witnessed the death-defying maneuvers of the RedBarons Stearman squadron biplanes. The Red Barons performed many of the same maneuvers that the Navy's Blue Angels performed later in the day, but at a considerably slower speed.

"The Blue Angels move at the speed of sound," said Jerry Van Kempen, the Red Baron's narrator. " We move at the speed of smell."

Audience members also had a chance to see a jet that reached 300 miles per hour but

engine attached. Each day of the air show, the ShockWave raced one of the propel ler-driven trick planes.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, viewers watched the Big Bubbinski, the world's largest and slowest single engine biplane. The Big Bubbinski was acquired at the Polish Air Force Academy, where it was used for troop transport and parachute training. Despite it's size and speed, the aircraft can take off with minimal space.

Marines also gave air show attendees a close-up look at Marine power in action with an explosive Marine Air/Ground Task Force demonstration. Marine forces from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River joined with Cherry Point based units to demonstrate the lethal punch of the Marine team in action.

The Army's Golden Knights were on hand to demonstrate aerial acrobatics and precision

landings. They showed the audience why they are considered the world's top parachute team.

The highlight of the Hying portion of the show was the performance of the Blue Angels. The Angels, based in Pensacola, Fla.. have been performing since June 1946. The Blue Angels performed their close-quarters aerial maneuvers to cheers from the crowds.

Visitors also had the opportunity to see static displays of World War II vintage aircraft as well as aircraft similar to the ones currently being used in operations in Kosovo.

Children and adults also had an opportunity to see and board a static display of probably Cherry Point's most famous aircraft —' Pedro' from Marine Transport Squadron 1.

"I want to drive it," Daniel Roberts, 6, of Swansboro, N.C., said of Pedro. "I have seen Pedro before and I think it's awesome."

In addition to the aerial show and static displays, guests enjoyed activities such as aircraft simulators, a craft show and job fair. Airshow patrons could also have theirpicture taken in a mock Blue Angel cockpil.

Despite inclement weather, the aviation enthusiasts waited out the wind and rain to enjoy the 'Celebration of Flight' first-hand.

I ek-long adventure began in the I Jrs with a bus ride to VMI. Here, I larines learned about some of the

South's most distinguished wartime heroes and military leaders. They visited Gen. Robert E. Lee's tomb, "Stonewall" Jackson's house and tomb, and VMI's museum and grounds.

During the tour, Bravo Battery marveled at VMI's powerful fortress-like architecture and monuments to civil war heroes and other American icons like George Washington.

sea level and the fourth peak of the day. Finally,

period weaponry authentic uniforms and portraits of great military minds, including a painting of one of the Corps' most celebrated leaders — (then) BGen. Lewis "Chesty" Puller.

Cpl. Ronald Guiimet, Bravo Battery training noncommissioned officer, said the museum was a good learning experience.

"I learned a lot about VMI's role in history and the Civil War. We've had generals and even a couple of commandants who attended VMI," said Guiimet.

DAY 2 After a hot breakfast at VMI's mess hall,

Bravo Battery boarded the bus again to Swift Run Gap along the Appalachian Trail at the southern entrance to Shenandoah National Park to commence its own 45-mile forced march, commemorating the students' journey.

Dark, overcast skies reminded these Marines the trail itself was not the only challenge they would face over the next 48 hours. The elements too, would take their toll. The heat of day, cold nights, and the imminent possibility of rain are all beyond control, but they are obstacles every Marine in the field must face.

Luckily for the LAAD Marines, the clouds did clear, and the day's temperature remained mild, for there was no turning back now.

When they arrived, it took only minutes for them to place 50 pounds of survival gear on theirbacks, and the march was

For the next seven hours, the LAAD Marines humped through the rugged mountain terrain, stopping only a few times for water breaks and once to wolf down Meals Ready-to-Eat(MRE).

The steep inclines, winding switchbacks and narrow, rocky trails all took their toll on LAAD.

The sounds in the forest that day ranged from laughter and jokes to war cries and

that day would be feasible. Now after 18 miles of climbing mountains, traversing fallen trees on the trail,

and plodding over mile after mile of rocky trail, they were singing a different tune.

"What do you think, Sgt. Delgado?," joked Capt. Chris Gros, Bravo's Commanding Officer. "Should we keep going?"

"Well, sir," he answered, "I think I'm about at my breaking point."

Sgt. Jose Delgado, Bravo Battery Communications Chief, spoke for nearly everyone of the LAAD Marines, and Gros concurred.

Bravo's first day came to a welcome close as they talked about the day's events and pondered upcoming challenges. Some were in their sleeping bags even before sunset, resting up for the long trek ahead. Others stayed up, sharing war stories and laughter as the sky overhead changed from blue to violet, and finally, black.

DAY 3 The morning began with moans and grunts

as the LAAD Marines struggled to make cold bones and stiff muscles function as they rose and packed their gear in the brisk morning air. Within a few miiiutes, they were dressed and beginning to warm up, ready to hit the trail again.

Before they were a mile from the previous night's bivouac site, they spotted several white tail deer watching curiously from the trees as Bravo Batter}' filed past.

The terrain changed quickly as the trail cut from the inner forest to a narrow, natural-rock outcropping, rising up the mountain faces and affording spectacular views of the valleys below.

Bravo's morale and determination remained high as they pressed on, fighting questionable footing along the rock-strewn trail. Again came the barks and war cries.

"How are we doing Bravo?," Gros yelled over his shoulder.

"Yaughtz!," was the unified response. At the day's end the Mountain Marines

had covered even more ground than the day before—about 20 miles in all. This time, some were prepared to push on — to at least try three or four more miles to close the gap

between themselves and their final destination at Thornton Gap.

Nonetheless, sleeping bags were rolled out, and Bravo settled in for one more night under the stars with just one more major obstacle to face at dawn — a mountain aptly named the Pinnacle.

DAY 4 Bravo was on the road a little earlier this

day in an effort to beat a self-imposed challenge of completing the march in less than 48 hours.

The final seven-mile stretch seemed like a cake walk compared to the previous two days, and the LAAD Marines covered ground quickly. They were even able to take a 30-minute break to enjoy the most incredible view of the trip at a place called Mary's Rock just past the peak of the Pinnacle. Here, they stood in awe as they looked down at a valley seemingly miles below.

It was all down hill from Mary's Rock — literally. A steep drop of about 1200 feet in less than two miles brought the LAAD Marines to the end of the trail at Thornton Gap. The Mountain Marines had conquered 45 miles of Appalachian wilderness in 47 hours and 57 minutes.

"That was one hump I didn't think I was going to make," said LCpl. Daniel Short, A-gunner, "but I did it."

Others echoed his sentiments. "Anyone who says that hump was easy is

a liar," said PFC Joshua Nolan. "Challenging" doesn't necessarily mean

"unpleasant" as Guiimet pointed out. "I've always wanted to hike the Appalachians," he

said. "Plus, it was a good way to kind of get a hands-on feel for what the cadets went through on their march.'

The day was far from over though. After a quick shave and a much needed change of cammies, Battery B boarded the bus and headed for New Market.

They toured the Hall of Valor, a museum dedicated to the battle; watched a short film to learn even more details of the events and circumstances surrounding the battle; and toured the battlefield to bring the whole experience full circle.

Their boots tread across the same ground where some 1,400 Union and Confederate soldiers once lay dead or dying; across the Field of Lost Shoes, named by one of the students who fought in the rain and mud that day; up the same hill the students charged so many years ago as they attacked a Union cannon battery head-on; and stood next to replicas of Union cannons placed exactly as they were 135 years ago. The learning experience was complete.

"I never knew the cadets were that young," said Short. "They had a lot of guts to do what they did."

Thinking back about the men and their deeds, Nolan said he could almost feel their presence there.

"It was kind of eerie standing on the actual battlefield," he said.

That night, back at VMI, Bravo Battery was granted much deserved liberty in Lexington before returning to Cherry Point the next day-It's amazing the amount of energy a young Marine can find after a week like this.

Canadian artillery charts new waters in boat ba: Cpl. Amanda Hay MCB Camp Pendleton correspondent

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — Wide-eyed excitement and fear filled their faces as their rubber boat leaped and crashed into waves of chilly water. Stacked like dominos, they tightened their grips with each wave while laugh-ing away discomfort.

Canadian artillerymen and women went for a spin in small boats out of the Del Mar boat basin as part of recent cross-training with 2nd Battal-ion, 11th Marine Regiment.

The cannon cockers of Kilo Battery, 2nd Bn., 11th Marines, swapped places with Delta Battery, 2nd Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, for two weeks as part of a Small Unit Exchange Program.

The programs goal is to gain insight into each others military operations, according LtCol. Ross Davis, Commanding Officer of 2nd RCHA.

The program, in its third year, is aimed at devel-oping a professional relationship between two neighboring allied forces. Though we didn't learn skills we could use when we go back to Canada, we gained knowledge of how the Marine Corps does things. And the more we know, the more well-rounded well be as artilleiymen, said Sgt. Mike Hartery, acting Sergeant Major for the 92 Canadi-ans. They spent their first week learning and us-ing different weapon systems, such as the Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainer, crew served weapons and howitzers.

The most interesting training was with the In-

door Simulated Marksmanship Training, Bombadier Shawn Attrux said. We don't have anything like that back home. It was just like a video game.

An artillery woman of 2nd RCHA noted a differ-ence in the way 11 th Marines operates its weapon systems. The gun drill was redundant. Safety is important, but we checked a round three times be-fore we sent it down range. Our main goal is to get rounds down range quickly, Bombardier Patty Smith said.

During the second week of training, they learned more about what its like to be an amphibious war-rior. They toured the USS Pearl Harbor based in San Diego and trained on small boats, Landing Craft Air Cushion and Assault Amphibian Vehicles. "I've been out on a fishing boat before, but it was never like this," Gunner Bobby Hall said about the small-boat training. It felt kind of insane to tip the boat over three times on purpose. The training not only broadened their military skills, it gave them a break from the frigid temperatures of Petawawa Canadian Forces Base in Ontario. The training was great, but my favorite part was not being in minus 15 degree temperatures. Its nice to travel and see some place new, especially when its warm, Hall said.

The Marines of Kilo Battery who trained in Petawawa faced temperatures of minus 4 degrees, Davis said. Their schedule consisted of firing Ca-nadian weapon systems and cold-weather training.

All the countries should do this to see what each military is doing. It helps us learn how other people do things and work together, which is what being in the military is all about, Attrux said.

Marine captains sweep annual leadership essay competition U.S. Naval Institute Annapolis, Maryland

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Four Marine Corps captains swept the annual Vincent Astor Memorial Leadership Essay Contest sponsored by the United States Naval Institute.

The competition, for junior officers and officer trainees of the Navy, Ma-rine Corps, and Coast Guard, is de-signed to encourage research, new thinking, and writing on the topic of leadership. Capt. William J. Bowers of Carlsbad, Calif., earned First Prize of $1,500, a gold medal, and a lifetime membership in the Naval Institute for his paper titled "Maneuver Warfare from the Front."

Bowers is a combat engineer officer serving as operations officer for the 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Force Service Support Group at Camp

Pendleton, Calif. First Honorable Mention was

awarded to Capt. R. L. Shea of Dumfries, Va., a student at the Amphibious War-farq School, Marine Corps Combat De-velopment Command in Quantico, Va. His essay "What are Your NCOs Talking About? Learning the Language of Lead-ership" earned him $1,000 and a silver medal.

Co-Second Honorable Mention winners Capts. Daniel R. Wagner and Philip A. Burdette each will receive $500 and a bronze medal. Wagner, also from Dumfries, wrote his essay on "Hu-mility: The Lost Virtue of Leadership," while co-winner Burdette, of Highland, Md., examined "Sheeps, Mavericks, and Institutional Behavior."

The essays will be featured in the July issue of "Proceedings,"~the monthly professional journal of the U.S. Naval Institute.

EMT students get taste of rea SSgt. Kristine Scarber MCAS Cherry Point correspondent

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, N.C. —Thecallfor assistance comes as any other request may; a person is injured and requires immediate medical treatment. Quickly, emergency medical technicians re-spond, but soon find themselves in danger. There is no injured person — the call was simply a lure to bring the medical personnel face-to-face with drug-crazed criminals who hope to find their next high in the EMT's medical kit.

The EMTs are held at gunpoint while the criminals scream and beg for drugs and rummage through the medi-cal kit. When no narcotics are found, the hostage-takers force the EMTs to call their dispatcher to ask for additional help. The dispatcher quickly recognizes the EMT's distress and notifies the mili-tary police.

Within minutes, a loud, grenade-like

explosion rocks the room, the noise disorienting everyone inside. Several members of the Provost Marshal's Office's Special Reaction Team storm the room, and within seconds, every person, both victim and criminal, is handcuffed and the situation is under control.

Fortunately for the personnel in-volved, this was simply a training scenario worked in to the EMT train-ing given by the Naval Hospital here.

The "criminals," Petty Officers 3rd Class Rick Navickas and Louis Digilio and Seaman Matt Benevidez, all corpsmen from the hospital, assumed the role of hostage-takers to teach the EMT students about the ugly side of responding to a call for help. "We want to show the new EMTs scene safety, and that they have some limits," said Benevidez.

According to Navickas, the stu-dents are taught in-depth lessons on safety and how to deal with potentially life-threatening situations. "We teach

them to think, and to use th said Navickas. "You don't you're walking into. It coulc tic violence, or someone co up because they're looking We teach the EMTs what how to get out." "We wa dents to know that they hav tions," Benevidez added.

Improvement in the student's upper body and hand strength is very important. Circuit courses and a series of drills to include carry-ing rocks from the rock pit with their finger-tips are designed to build strength. Of course running is always a mainstay.

"The training here is very physically tough, I've never had to do anything like this be-fore," said Cpl. Jason T. Kyle, Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment.

Before continuing into the second phase, the staff has to make cuts. Only 25 of the most proficient climbers can move on to the second phase of training at Camp Dawson National Guard Base, W.Va., a mountainous area in the northeastern part of the state.

The mountains of West Virginia offer a vast change from the flat terrain of Camp Lejeune. Rocky wooded cliffs abound and the unpredictable weather can make climbing especially awkward. All the practice and train-ing that they learned at Stone Bay is now applied to a real climbing environment.

During the first few days the students become acquainted with the cliffs, starting easy and working their way toward harder and harder climbs. Each day the students try new cliffs so that they are challenged on dif-ferent types of rock.

"This course is almost like an ongoing lead-

ership reaction course, said GySgt. John K. Blackburn, Staff Noncommissioned Officer in Charge, Mountain/Arctic Training Course. "There is always some type of problem solv-ing, and they have to think on their feet."

The skills that the students learn help them to negotiate mountain obstacles that would otherwise be impassable.

The course also teaches how to open av-enues of approach and to expose an unde-fended flank of the enemy in an almost verti-cal terrain. To be able to assess the sitpdffon, the students learn a vast array of techniques that incorporate rope installations, hauling systems, rope bridges, and tree climbing tech-niques.

In the case of tree climbing, the students learn how to remove a downed pilot from a tree in a simulated tactical recovery of air-craft and personnel (TRAP) mission.

Most importantly, each student is taught how to be a lead climber so that they can move a large body of troops over a cliff ob-stacle.

"We want the students to be good climb-ers—so that they can get 160 people up who don't know how to climb," said SSgt. John W. Hess III, Mountain/Arctic Instructor.

To become certified, the students must be able to consistently lead a 5.6-graded climb. The grading method, established by the Yosemite decimal grading system, is a uni-versal system that can go all the way to 5.14d, which is almost like a vertical sheet of glass.

Once the students have mastered the 5.6 climb with boots, they are allowed to put on climbing shoes so that they can place better footholds and become accustomed to climb-ing. The shoes are made of a special grip-ping rubber and used as a training aid to help build individual confidence.

By the end of their evolution as assault climbers, the students will have overcome numerous obstacles. Their hard work and sweat will have paid off not just for them-selves, but for their units as well.

"The biggest asset for the Marines who are certified is that they can conduct rappel training for their units; it's a hip-pocket asset for the MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit) commander," said Hess.

With their newly acquired knowledge, they will take back a lethal skill that can cause an element of surprise for the enemy.

The students will complete their training at Camp Dawson April 30 and begin prepar-ing for deployment with the 22d MEU.

Sgt. Jason M. Webb Camp Lejeune correspondent

Training can sometimes be monotonous, jut for the students of the Assault Climbers Course, there is really no such thing as an average day; especially when the first thing they do in the morning is look up at a cold 50-foot slab of vertical rock.

Students of the Assault Climbers Course class 1-99 started their intense 33-day train-ing cycle at the Special Operations Training Group compound at Stone Bay rifle range. The first lessons provided the students with the basics to conduct mountain operations. It included practical application is given'on the basic knots, nomenclature, basic care of their equipment, and systems and fundamen-tals of mountaineering, all with the emphasis on safety for themselves and others.

The course is divided into two phases. The first, beginning at Stone Bay, is a prepa-ration and learning time for the students, en-abling them to learn safety and climbing pro-cedures before scaling a rock face.

To determine fear of heights and climbing ability, all students must pass a basic skill assessment test the first day. Each student must be able to climb a 50-foot wall in four minutes. This test gives the staff an impres-sion of the1 physica) and mental capabilities

tas Marines raid Camp Lejeune Second, Unitas is a group of Marines who, because they came from differ-ent commands, are not cohesive. They need the training to build that cohesion," said Capt. Michael B. Dickey, Rifle Company Commander, Marine Forces Unitas.

The Unitas training schedule may be intense, but the Marines here are making the most of the situation and some are thriving on the continuous opportunity to show their stuff. Each and every training opportunity gives the Unitas Marines an edge for de-ployment.

In preparation for possible heliborne operations to be con-ducted during its deployment, Ma-rine Forces Unitas continued its train-ing recently with SPIE rigging, a tech-nique used to insert and extract Ma-rines quickly and effectively, accord-ing to SSgt. Jeffery M. Kilgore, Staff Noncommissioned Officer in Charge of Recon Detachment, Marine Forces Unitas.

"SPIE rigging is used to extract Marines primarily in situations where an aircraft cannot land because of thickness of vegetation. It is also possible to insert Marines through SPIE rigging but it is not a preferred method." said Kilgore.

within the unit have raided on Zodi-acs before, many experienced the challenge for the first time.

"It was such an adrenaline rush. It was really neat hitting the waves and going up and down with the water splashing everywhere," said LCpI. Kristoffer B. Sechrest, 2d Fireteam Leader, 1st Squad, 3d Platoon. "I've really enjoyed the training we've been doing - the Zodiacs, SPIE rigging, and rappelling. The way Unitas is set up we will have to be able to do ev-erything."

The training scheduled during the float includes many different types of small craft operations including riv-erine operations, insertions for am-phibious raids, pre-assault insertions (inserting reconnaissance Marines with small boats), and maintenance

cross-training. There is also a possibility of con-

ducting various helicopter operations such as rappelling. fast-roping, and SPIE rigging, depending on the avail-able air assets of the host nations, according to Capt. Kevin G. Collins, Marine Forces Unitas Executive Of-ficer and Operations Officer.

While Unitas Marines continue to tackle the intense training schedule they are also preparing for the next big training evolution, the G-7 evalu-ation, and the last test before they deploy in July.

The evaluation is a screening, which will qualify Marine Forces Unitas to deploy to South America and South Africa as a contingency force-in-readiness aboard USS Carter Hall.

DRAGON from 1A "What we're doing with Dragon Drone is

letting the host nations know up front that we intend to fly the UAVs in their air space," said IstLt. Kevin G. Collins, Operations Of-ficer and Executive Officer of Unitas. "We are able to allay their concerns about intelligence collection by allowing them unlimited access to all the imagery that Dragon Drone pro-duces. Also, they control the air space and give us clearance of where and when to fly, so they can restrict our access in that man-ner."

Not only will the Dragon Drone experiment benefit on the Unitas deployment, but Ma-rine Forces Unitas plans to benefit greatly when using the Dragon Drone.

"The UAV will benefit us tremendously because we don't have any air assets. This will be our only means of getting eyes in the sky, so it will be used a lot," said Collins.

Another advantage to the Dragon Drone being on Unitas vice a MEU is the type of

training opportunities, according to Devin.

"With the 15th MEU there were prima-rily desert operations. The Dragon Drone training was focused on the extended battlespace. The Unitas deployment gives the Dragon Drone an opportunity to con-duct operations in the littoral battlespace along coastlines and rivers in a jungle en-vironment," said Devin.

The evolution of the Dragon Drone ex-periment from the 15th MEU to Unitas is the end of a long road of experimentation, according to Devin.

The Dragon Drone today is a vast im-provement on what it was in the early 1980s, when it was first developed. "The air vehicle was originally called the EXDRONE," said Devin. "About two years ago the Warfighting Lab acquired some EXDRONES and we subsequently took all of the original avionics out of the

air frame and replaced them with state of the art equipment."

The only other UAV used in the Marine Corps is the Pioneer, according to Devin.

"The Dragon Drone is much smaller and lighter than the Pioneer, allowing it to be used at the smaller unit level. Wherever the unit goes, the Dragon Drone goes," said Devin. The footprint (total equipment needed to run the UAV) is lA the size of the Pioneer's foot-print.

"What's great about this is it will be owned, operated, and maintained by the Unitas Ma-rines," Devin said.

Eight Marines from VMU-2 (Marine Un-manned Ariel Vehicle Squadron), Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, N.C.. are cur-rently staffed for the Unitas float to accom-pany 10 Dragon Drones.

After the 5-month deployment with Ma-rine Forces Unitas, the Dragon Drone experi-ment will be complete.

Let the good times Chaplain Larry P. Ferrell MCB Camp Lejeune

The stock market ended in record territory again. It is over 10,000 points and who knows where its go-ing to end. At the same time, America's economy is so robust that it is functioning as the engine that seems to be keeping world econom-ics afloat. Wow! I find that phenom-enal. Is there an end to this unprec-edented economic expansion?

I look at the current events in Eu-rope and wonder if the war in the Serbian region will cause all of this to stall.

I look at Asia and still see national economies that are in the pain of total restruc-turing. Korea, Japan, Indone-sia, and others are strug-gling to come back from a terrible dep res s ion and in some cases eco-nomic melt-down.

As our economy flour-ishes, unemployment is at its lowest point in years, and in-terests rates are at their lowest points in years. During times such as these, it is easy to think about letting the good times roll. At the same time, I wonder if America is blinded cur-rently by its economic success to the pain to other nations.

Yes, certain agencies are assist-ing the refugees of the war, and the poor of the world, but as a nation, it seems we are unaffected by the struggles of those around us. I am reminded of the roaring twenties when America was experiencing pros-perity on a scale that it had never seen before. It was a time when people let the good times roll.

The problem with that particular time in our history was that people did not realize bad times were coming

LCpl. Mike B. Vrabel Camp Lejeune correspondent

A Marine from 8th Communication Battalion. II Marine Expeditionary Force, is scheduled to become the first female Marine to compete in the United States Women's National Championship boxing tournament in Scranton, Penn . through Saturday.

Cpl. Tori Brown, Headquarters Company Clerk for 8th Comm., will fight in the 125-pound, or featherweight, weight class in the five-day tour-nament.

Brown has been boxing since May of 1998, but this will be her first competition. She origi-nally started boxing as a way to gel into shape. Brown, an Albany Ga„ native, said boxing of-fered her something which she could not get with more conventional means of exercising.

"I wanted something different," said Brown. " Boxing was something different, and it offered me a challenge."

Brown, who trains with a coach every day for an hour, said the hardest thing to overcome as a female boxer was not the physical aspect of train-ing, but breaking the tradition that boxing was an all-male sport.

"When my office first got word that I was into boxing, it was a big shock," said Brown. She said her parents were also caught off-guard by their daughter's choice of conditioning, but are now very supportive of her decision.

Gunnery Sgt. Scott A. Michael, Brown's coach, said training her is no different than training a member of the men's boxing team.

"Whether it is for a male or female, the funda-mentals of boxing remain the same," Michael said. Michael, who has been Brown's coach for ap-proximately a month, is very optimistic of his student's chances at the upcoming tournament.

"She has a very strong right hand," said Michael, referring to Browns right-handed punch-ing power. "She also has a lot of heart and deter-mination, which is very important."

Much of Brown's encouragement comes from the fact that she will be representing the Marine Corps at the tournament.

"I am a Marine, and I don't want to let my Corps down," said Brown.

There will be approximately 90 women com-peting in the National Championship, according to Michael. Despite her lack of competition expe-rience, Michael thinks brown will overcome any fears she might have going into the tournament.

"There will be some nervousness; there al-ways is," said Michael, who used to box for the Marine Coips. "I was nervous before every one of my fights."

Win or lose, Brown feels that being in this competition is a very positive thing.

"Chalk it up as experience," said Brown. The next event Brown hopes to compete in is

the National Golden Gloves tournament, which will be in August.

Marines dig down deep at Mudbox LCpl. Sharon M. Kalyn Camp Lejeune correspondent

Mud flies everywhere, while a 1978 Jeep CJ5 spins its wheels try-ing to trudge through waist deep mud to win a race at the Jumpin' Run Mud Box March 27 in Hubert, N.C.

Members of the East Carolina Jeep and 4X4 Club often get together to race their four-wheel drive ve-hicles at the mud box. The club pro-vides a network for individuals who enjoy taking their vehicles off road.

One vehicle for each category at a time, depending on size of engine, lines up at the starting line to race. The competitor tries to cross a few hundred-yard mud-filled track as fast as possible. After all competi-tors have gone, times are compared, and the fastest is declared the win-

ner, About six members of the club competed March 27.

The club began in Januaiy 1999, and though it is still growing, there are about 50 members who are mostly Ma-rines. The club is open to anyone in-terested in off-roading, according founder , Staff Sgt. Chris "CJ" Robinson, Mortar Platoon Section Leader, Weapons Company, 2nd Bat-talion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Ma-rine Division. Members do not have to own a big, fancy truck to partici-pate. Stock vehicles are welcome, said Robinson.

"I started the club with a friend of mine because we couldn't find any-one to go four-by-fouring with," said Robinson. "So I made some flyers and started putting them on every truck I saw with mud on it. Within two weeks

All-Marine Boxing Team weeds through talent Sgt. Edward S. Harcher Camp Lejeune correspondent

In the hazy interior of Goettge Memorial Fieldhouse, two Marines glare across 16 oz. Gloves. Looking into the eyes of his opponent, each man is looking for any sign of weak-ness. As if by unspoken signal, the boxing ring erupts into a flurry of jabs, hooks and upperculs. Mere seconds after the flurry begins, how-ever, it is halted.

The combatants weren't part of an intramural match, yet. They were merely the latest prospects in the All Marine Boxing Team's search for new recruits.

"We've lost a lot of our starters in the past month or so," said Roosevelt Sanders, jr., U.S. Marine Corps Box-ing Coach, "so we're trying to recruit new talent to fill in the holes."

To this end, Sanders is reviewing interested Marines in all 12 weight classes fielded by the team. The best

Lejeune Blaze prepares for next seas 1 t

Cpl. Brandon L. Rizzo Camp Lejeune correspondent

The Lejeune Blaze roller hockey team suffered a 6-3 loss to YMCA Wilmington, Sunday, bringing their record down to four and five.

The Blaze had some good offensive plays, but neglected to finish most of them. Though goalie Keith McGonigal made some noteworthy saves, the team lacked on their defense. The puck spent the majority of each quarter on the Blaze's side of the rink.

Cpl. Brandon L Rizzo Cpl. Matt Prine sets up an offensive pass play as he rushes top get ahead of a Wilmington defender.

Team captain, Cpl. Jim Neumeister, landing support specialist, Marine Ex-peditionary Unit Service Support Group-22, attributed the loss to a lack of shooting by the offense.

"We didn't have people in front of the net when we needed them," said Neumeister. "We had some great passes, unfortunately we had a lot of close calls instead of goals."

The Blaze has been an organized team for about nine weeks. Accord-ing to Neumeister and team captain LCpl. Josh M. Damrauer, this season has been successful despite their record.

"The season went pretty well as far as getting the team organized and getting to know each other on the ice," said Damrauer. "That's what's most important. Next season we plan on moving to the competition league."

Finals for this season are Sunday at The Athletic Zone in Wilmington. However, tournaments will commence throughout the summer.

Quality of life improved by Single Marine Program Sgt. Jason M. Webb Camp Lejeune correspondent

Single Marines and sailors aboard Camp Lejeune have the opportunity to get involved and make changes in their everyday lives. Since January 1997 a new policy called the Single Marine Program gives an opportunity for enhancement of their quality of life.

Since its beginning at Camp Lejeune, Renee Valdov, the Single Marine Program Coordinator, has taken a pro-active approach to get Marines and sailors involved in the Program.

The program teaches five essential elements: recre-ation, health and wellness, development of life skills, com-munity involvement, and fundraising.

Globe What is the purpose of the Single Marine Program? Valdov The program creates a venue for the single Marines

and sailors to come together as a coordinated counsel. They identify issues, concerns, suggestions, and come up with recreational events. 1 help them to dissect and identify if there is a real issue or not. Then as a counsel, they come up with a resolution and I take it forward to be addressed.

Globe Is their just one counsel aboard Camp Lejeune? Valdov Theoretically, you should have one governing body,

but because of the geographical structure of Camp Lejeune and that it encompasses so many independent camps it had to be broken up. They are divided because each area doesn't have the same issues. There are coun-sels at Courthouse Bay, French Creek, Camp Johnson, Camp Geiger, and Mainside, which is split up by area. The different areas are 1,2,4,5, Hospital Point, and Head-quarters Marine Corps Base.

Globe How does a Marine or sailor become a member of a

counsel? Valdov It's a collateral duty; assigned personnel are given

letters of appointment from their company, so that they know their tasking. Not every counsel has the same num-ber of counsel members. It could range anywhere from two to 25 depending on the size of the area.

mm lis Ro."k:

What are some of the problems that have been solved through this program?

Valdov One example is the counsel in Courthouse Bay came

together to solve an issue with the barbershop. The Ma-rines and sailors thought that the hours weren't condu-cive to their schedule since their operational tempo was high and that they are so secluded. What happened was that they put together a survey and validated that it was an issue? With the help of the sergeant major and the coun-sel, a proposal was drafted and given to the marketing department. Within an hour, a new schedule was devel-oped and weekend hours were added to the barbershop schedule.

Globe How often do these counsels meet? Valdov The president and vice president set their own sched-

ule but the counsels meet at least once a month. There is also an executive steering committee comprised of just the presidents and vice presidents from each counsel that meet once a month. These meetings deal with base-wide situa-tions and recreation events, not just individual areas. It also depends if there is a major event happening on base such as Sand Jam.

Globe How long has this program been in place? Valdov It has been in effect since 1996. The model for this

program was first started in Hawaii. It proved to be a suc-cess and started at Camp Lejeune in November 1997.

Globe What is the best way for Marines and sailors to get a

hold of the counsel representatives? Valdov Right now, the best way is to talk to me directly. The

program is undergoing a re-organization and the only ones to get in touch with are Courthouse Bay and Camp Johnson. The Courthouse Bay president, Sgt. Austin Nichols can be reached at 450-0687. The Camp Johnson president, Cpl. Rebecca Russell can be reached at 450-0910. To reach me directly or find out who the president for you area is, call 451-3636.

The Single Marine Program has a number of activities and events for the summer.

LCpl. John Alleriwood, MCB, ducks a high punch from LC|i Lohrham. TRIALS from 1B way to do this is in the ring. Prospec-tive boxers are matched, as closely as possible, with other prospects for three one-minute rounds. Once in the ring, their performance, as well as their open-ness to instruction, is closely watched by the coach. By the end of each bout, a decision has been reached.

The goal of each mini-bout is not for the opponents to knock each other out, however.

"What I'm looking for is good ath-. letes with some basic skills," Sanders said. "I need athletes who I can work with and a willing to leam. Even if I can't take one of these tiyouts and put them in the ring in two weeks, they are in-vited to come work with us, and even-tually they may be able to represent the Marine Corps on our team."

That team is not only for male pugi-lists.

"Women are welcome to come try out," Sanders said. "There are women boxers out there, and they will receive 100 percent support from us if they come in and try out."

For the current members of the team, trying out has yielded benefits.

"The coach just wants to see heart," said CpLOrlando Cordova, All-Marine Boxer. "I've won at the Armed Forces Championships, and if I can do it again in November, I can qualify for the Olym-pic team."

Cordova explained that \ national tournament mean i. sonally, but to represent Ijll, States in the Olympics v dream come true.

That sentiment is echot ers' advice to any Marine to tiy out. 'This is an opf realize dreams or ambitions if they have boxed before "Our facilities are excellen equipment and 100 perce from the Corps."

Most of the boxers who out don't care what facilitk has at its disposal. "I've r this before, but I've always t said PFC Christopher Witt | formation Systems Manage! sion. "I figured I'd come o' out for my shot at represi Corps some day."

With the Armed Forces ( ship scheduled for Camp I November, the team is sets find as many interested V possible. "We have several athletes still on the team," Sal "but we need more boxers to out."

That search will continue until the team is filled.

Marines interested in becc Marine Boxers are encouraj coach Sanders or GySgt. N 451-2629 to apply.

TRUCK from IB we had 15 members." Robinson said it is not safe to go

off-road alone, so the club offers safety in numbers. The club finds pub-tic trails they can legally use. such as trait at the Croatan Forest, and they use a guide for salety reasons if they are not familiar with the area. Before hit-ting the trails, members perform safety cheeks on their vehicles to make sure they are safe and have the necessary equipment in case of emergency .

The club is a non-profit organiza-tion with no membership or upkeep fees. According to Robinson's flyer.

tCpi Steron M ftafyn Members of the East Carolina Jeep/•4X4 Gub gather to race their vehicles at the JumptrV Run Mud Box «n Hubert, N.C. March 27.

there is no bull, just good fun. The group encourages its members to share their automotive knowledge. By meeting other Jeep and 4X4 owners, members can learn more about their own vehicles, said Robinson.

Robinson says the club is a fam-ily-oriented group. Both men and women belong to the club and many family members come out to watch ac-tivities the club sponsors, such as rac-ing at the Jumpin' Run Mud Box.

Generally, the club holds monthly meetings, but there is a published phone roster, so members can call one another at anytime to go out mudding.

Club members share automo-tive ideas at their get-togethers and a representa-tive from a local auto repair shop sometimes to gives classes on repair techniques.

"One guy is motor trans-port mechanic. So he helps others with their repairs." said Robinson. "Another guy just put a lift kit on his truck, so now someone else can approach him for help and ideas. If members can't do it themselves, someone

in the club knows how, or knows some-one who knows how to help," he added.

Robinson said many members swap auto parts and share tips on where to get the best deals.

Active members of the East Caro-lina Jeep and 4X4 Club receive 10 per-cent off parts and 20 percent off modi-fications from a local automotive shop. Robinson said he would like to see more members in the club, be-cause the club will see more dis-counts from local shops as more mem-bers offer their business to them.

"I learned about the club through word of mouth," said Cpl. Steve Domonkos, Marine Wing Support Squadron 272, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, Marine Corps Air Station, New River. "I like the discounts on parts and labor, and when I get stuck there is always someone to pull me out," he added. Domonkos has but about S 1,000 into his 1982 Toyota Landcruiser, and plans to spend S5.000more.

Members of the club spend money fixing up their vehicles, however, the club tries to minimize their costs by sharing ideas, helping one another do

the work and finding discounts through local businesses.
