Sgt Maj Kent recalls Corps career during visit to Cherry Point CPL. TYLER J. BOLKEN MCAS CHERRY POINT

CPL. TYLER J. BOLKEN

Sgt. Maj. Carlton W. Kent, 16th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, speaks to Marines and Sailors at the Cherry Point theater June 7. Kent visited the air station as part of his final farewell tour.

It’s tough to see the good ones go, but Sgt. Maj. Carlton W. Kent graciously gave up his post as sergeant major of the Marine Corps to Sgt. Maj. Micheal P. Barrett during today’s post and relief ceremony at Marine Barracks Washington in Washington, D.C. Prior to putting the final touches on his 35-plus year career, Kent spent the past few months visiting Marines across the Corps – from deployed Marines in Afghanistan to the more than 1,700 stateside Marines he visited at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point June 7. “He came here to see these Marines one last time,” said Sgt. Maj. Jerry L. Bailey, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point sergeant major. “He genuinely cares about his Marines.” The Marines arrived at the station theater early, and Kent caught most of them off guard when he walked in from behind them while they were already seated. “What’s going on devil dogs?” Kent said in his raspy, rugged voice that still bears strain from his days

as a drill instructor. “I was not going to miss this opportunity to come out for the last time to say, thank you.” In a very conversational manner, Kent went on to share several stories from his time in the Corps, continually reiterating his confidence in today’s Marines. “My whole adult life I’ve been a Marine, and all I know are you fellow warriors,” he stated. “I can tell you I’m leaving the Marine Corps with a sense of pride, knowing the Marine Corps legacy will continue because of great warriors like you.” Kent’s legacy in the Corps began in 1976 when he left his home in Memphis, Tenn., for the famous yellow footprints of Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. “I never thought I would be the sergeant major of the Marine Corps,” Kent said. “All I can say is don’t worry about your next rank because as long as you take care of Marines, Marines are going to take care of you.” See KENT page A9

Marines pursue life goals by continuing college education LANCE CPL. SCOTT L. TOMASZYCKI MCAS CHERRY POINT

A Marine’s life is already hard enough with juggling family, work, duties as a Marine and deployments. Despite the challenge, some Marines add another factor to their lives and continue their education by enrolling in college. For those who choose to balance these aspects of their lives successfully, can later open new doors to future success. After many hours of hard work and dedication, more than 90 members of the Cherry Point community graduated from various colleges during a ceremony at the air station theater June 2. “I’m a single mom with two kids, so it’s a balance,” said Stephanie Alexis, a corporal in the Marine Corps Reserves. “Going to school is almost as much work as having a newborn to take care of. You’re tired all the time and trying to make sure all your work gets done.” Though getting an education takes a lot of hard work, the Marine Corps has tools in place to help along the way. Tuition assistance up to a certain amount can pay for classes, the GI bill can pay for veteran’s classes, and internet for deployed service members can help get a jump start on classes. “As active duty, I had tuition assistance,” said Alexis. “As a veteran, I have the Post 9/11 GI Bill, which pays for my school for me without a cap, so I go to school all year round. They also pay for me to go to school, which is an awesome benefit for anyone who doesn’t have a job or is going to school full time and doesn’t have time for a full time job. They also pay for books with a $1,000 stipend per year.” Besides gaining knowledge for one’s own sake, college classes can help Marines achieve life goals and further career options if the unexpected were to happen. It is up to that individual to seek their education. “I’m going to get a master’s in mental health counseling,” said Sergio L. Jimenez, a former sergeant that was medically separated when he lost hearing in one ear. “When I heard that the military would be paying for it, I decided to take full advantage of that. I completely lost my hearing in one of my ears, but because I already had some education, I had something to fall back on. After I complete the education, I want to work with children who have mental disabilities.”

Seaman Michael S. Harris prepares to jump into the ocean off the coast of Fort Macon during the swimmer deployment portion of Marine Transport Squadron 1 search and rescue certification testing June 3. Harris is training to become a rescue swimmer with VMR-1.

VMR-1 certifies for search, rescue PFC. CORY D. POLOM MCAS CHERRY POINT

The ocean’s choppy waves cause the water to rush inside the boat slowly, causing it to sink. In the middle of the ocean, as a growing fear sets in, a loud rumble is heard overhead in the dark night. Looking up in the sky, a bright light breaks the darkness, and down comes a man on a rope yelling he’s here to help. He then puts a strap around your waist and begins to hoist you from the cold water and toward the helicopter with the spotlight. A scenario like this is typical during boating season and can happen to anyone this summer. In preparation for such real-life scenarios, Marines and Sailors of Marine Transport Squadron 1 train to rescue stranded boaters. New Marines and Sailors with VMR-1’s search and rescue group conducted their first two tests in their search and rescue certification testing June 3. The first test was a search and rescue exercise, also known as a SAR-X, in the Croatan National Forest.

“This type of training keeps us on point,” said Gunnery Sgt. Ryan C. Smith, a rescue swimmer with Pedro. “The situations these young SAR trainees go through are the same kind of situations we have to respond to weekly, if not day to day.” Smith had a fellow gunnery sergeant under his wing during the training exercises who shares a deep passion for the mission of Pedro. “Every time I get a chance to conduct training that gets me closer to certification is exciting and motivating,” said Gunnery Sgt. John P. Vinlove, a flight line division chief and is training as a rescue swimmer with Pedro. “Not only that, but getting to fly with such a great group of Marines and Sailors in a mission to not only help the air station but protect the lives of eastern North Carolina in a different way than Marines usually do.” Vinlove said the training they conducted in the Croatan helped prepare him for a situation in which Pedro See PEDRO page A9

Looking back in history at Marine Corps aviation

CPL. RASHAUN X. JAMES

Navy Lt. James C. Ragain is the chaplain for Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 40, currently deployed to Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. He has served as a chaplain with 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing since 2009 and is serving his first deployment in Afghanistan.

Navy chaplain spreads good word to deployed troops CPL. RASHAUN X. JAMES 2ND MAW (FWD)

CAMP BASTION, Afghanistan — A young James C. Ragain found himself face to face with tragedy in his seventhgrade year. His father, a Navy dentist, had moved his family to Parris Island, S.C., where Ragain recalled his first contact with military chaplains that would forever change his life. “One afternoon a couple buddies and I went to a local swimming pool and one of my friends drowned,” Ragain said. “The whole neighborhood came out to console the family. I remember the chaplains being out there to support the boy’s family. That was enough to really make a lasting impact on a young boy like me.” After graduating from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, with a degree in social studies education, Ragain became a high school teacher. Two years later, he still felt a call to serve the military and to serve God. So the Knoxville, Tenn., native decided to take part in the Navy’s chaplain candidate program.

“I became a chaplain candidate in 2003, and then went on to seminary where I worked on my Master of Divinity studies in Chicago,” said Ragain, who currently serves in the U.S. Navy’s chaplain corps as a lieutenant. Ragain joined the active duty ranks in 2009, arriving at his first duty station at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., and in 2011 deployed to Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 40 as the squadron’s chaplain. “What never changes is that you are facilitating a method for someone to get their religious needs, you’re caring for all the people, you’re doing counseling, advising the command and doing workspace visits,” said Ragain when comparing being a chaplain in garrison and on deployment. “There is definitely a difference in the nature of the things we talk about in counseling, such as being separated from loved ones,” said Ragain.

The 1st Marine Aviation Force’s flag dedication ceremony took place in France 1918. While in France, the 1st Marine Aviation Force became the first American Force of any service aviators to serve overseas. As part of the Northern Bombing Group, the Marines shot down at least four and possibly 12 enemy aircraft, performed the first combat aerial resupply for a French regiment stranded behind enemy lines and received two Medals of Honor. At the time, there were 282 officers and 2,180 enlisted men in Marine aviation, about half of Marine aviation would fight in World War I. This year, the Marine Corps celebrates 100 years of Marine aviation.

From the clinic: Summer safety tips SPECIAL TO THE WINDSOCK

NAVAL HEALTH CLINIC CHERRY POINT

As we head into summertime, protection from the sun and heat is very important. Recognizing heat exhaustion and providing first-aid treatment can prevent a tragic incident from happening to you, your family, and friends or even to the person you see on the street. Heat exhaustion occurs when the internal body temperature becomes too high, due to high heat and humidity, overexertion or dehydration. There are three levels of this heat related condition. The first is heat cramps, followed by heat exhaustion and then heat stroke, which can be fatal. Recognizing the symptoms of heat exhaustion and taking steps to cool down your body can keep heat related injury or

death from occurring. Heat exhaustion symptoms may include sweating, dizziness, extreme tiredness and rapid or slowed pulse. If heat exhaustion is caused by water loss due to hot temperatures or overexertion, symptoms may include thirst, headache, weakness and loss of consciousness. Cramping, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion and weakness may occur. If you experience any of these symptoms, immediately move to a cool location, preferably an air-conditioned area indoors. Drink electrolytes or water. Lower your body temperature with a cool shower or bath, or by sponging off with a damp towel. Heat stroke is when you are suffering from heat exhaustion and your body temperature reaches 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

If your condition does not improve within an hour, seek immediate medical attention. Heat stroke may cause brain damage. If left unattended, heat stroke can be fatal. Symptoms of heat stroke may include rapid breathing, difficulty speaking, seizures, coma or loss of consciousness and hallucinations. Heat-related illness like heat exhaustion is preventable. Spend as much time as possible in a cool, air-conditioned environment during hot and humid weather. Drink plenty of water or other fluids, and more if you are outside exercising or spending time outside when it is hot. Do not allow yourself to become thirsty. Wear comfortable, breathable clothing during hot weather. Take frequent breaks from the heat. Listen to your body and rest immedi-

ately if you experience heat cramps or the symptoms of heat exhaustion. Remember your pets can also get heat stroke. It is important to keep your pet cool during the “dog days” of summer. Unlike us, dogs have sweat glands on their noses and on the pads of their feet. In order to cool down, dogs pant and drink water. Dogs can experience heat exhaustion from becoming dehydrated and from over exercising during hot weather. Dogs can also experience heatstroke when the dog’s body temperature remains too high for too long. Also never leave your pet in your car – even when the windows are down, your pet can succumb to the heat. Remember these tips to keep yourself, your family and your pets safe from the summer heat.

HMLA-467 Marines engage in hands-on activities LANCE CPL. SCOTT L. TOMASZYCKI MCAS CHERRY POINT

“Death by power point” is what Marines envision when they receive safety briefs prior to an extended liberty period. Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 467 Marines stepped out of the ordinary and engaged in fun, interactive lessson plans to ensure they instill safety awareness prior to their Memorial Day weekend departure May 26. HMLA-467 held the interactive classes for its Marines at the bachelor officer’s quarters soccer field and at the Pelican Point Marina. Lesson plans included boater’s safety, operational risk management, heat casualty prevention and care, proper vehicle inspections, suicide awareness and trip planning. To cover each subject, the squadron broke into six teams

It was just a little bit of running around and asking people to help. Everybody was enthusiastic about it.” According to Pastor, the secret of the success was the competitive nature of the event. In every class, there were points that each of the six teams could earn. The winning team would receive a day off work so the Marines would actually care about the results. “I didn’t see so many people falling asleep or anything, so I think more people paid attention and actually picked up on the stuff we were taught today,” said Farrell.

Brother, sister in arms: Colorado Springs siblings reunite in Afghanistan PFC. SEAN DENNISON 2ND MAW (FWD)

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – When Sgt. Judy Hunziker, a maintenance administration clerk with Marine Attack Squadron 513, last saw her brother, she was on pre-deployment leave in the comfort of her hometown of Colorado Springs, Colo. As with any military goodbye, it could have been anyone’s guess as to when the siblings would see each other again. But fate, and in this case the U.S. military, had that particular moment planned.

Hunziker and her brother, George, an Army sergeant who serves as an infantryman with the 2nd Brigade of the 4th Infantry Division, reunited at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, May 30. Judy, a Marine deployed with her squadron to Kandahar, said she was shocked when she found out her brother was coming to the airfield, en route to a combat outpost in Kandahar province. “I’ve always joked that if I saw my brother here, I didn’t care who was in front of me, I’d push them out of my way,” she said. “It was overwhelming, seeing a face

I saw every day growing up, in a country a world away. It felt like a piece of home.” Luckily, Judy didn’t have to knock anyone down to greet her brother. Instead she greeted him with a hug. “It’s kind of touching, to be honest with you,” said Army Spc. David Gose, a fellow infantryman and friend of George’s. “When they saw each other, she hugged him, for like five minutes, and wouldn’t let go. Sgt. Hunziker asked every Marine he saw where she was located; he was on a mission to find her while we were here.” Even if the Hunzikers didn’t wear

PFC. SEAN DENNISON

matching nametags, it’d be hard not to deduce the two are siblings. While Judy is the more talkative of the pair, both wear a warm smile to compliment friendly eyes and are quick to laugh. The Hunziker siblings come from a military family, with a father who served in the Army as a mortarman for 12 years and a grandfather who served as a Naval officer. Both George and Judy said their family history was a significant factor in their decision to join the military. “My father is my role model,” said George. “I wanted to follow our family’s military history.” “I wanted to be like my father, but decided to join a different branch,” she said. “My father, he tells us every day, he reminds us how proud he is, he also likes to thank us for our service.” Even so, the two said it was a surprise to all when they enlisted. George had long hair with braids while Judy described herself as “a free spirit liberal arts student who hated the military.” “After I went to George’s boot camp graduation at Fort Benning, Ga., I had an epiphany,” she added. Brother and sister mostly smiled during their reunion, but they were also acutely aware of the roles they play in Afghanistan. Recently, their brother, another soldier, was sent home from deployment with an injury he sustained in a vehicle rollover. George wears a bracelet in memory of fellow soldiers who have paid the ultimate price in combat, “gone but not forgotten,” as he put it. George said goodbye to his sister in the predawn hours of June 2, when Kandahar Airfield was finally quiet enough to allow such affairs. Judy expects them to laugh together again next year. “Now that I’ve seen him, I feel physically safer,” said Judy. “He told me the day he was leaving for Afghanistan he felt he couldn’t protect me anymore. I told him he was in my strongest thoughts, and that anything he could do as a soldier, I felt I could do as a Marine.”

The last time the two saw each other was on pre-deployment leave in Colorado Springs, Colo., April 16. The two reunited at Kandahar a month and a half later. “I’ve always joked that if I saw my brother here, I didn’t care who was in front of me, I’d push them out of my way,” Judy said. “It was overwhelming, seeing a face I saw every day growing up, in a country a world away. It felt like a piece of home.”

Marines learn differences between good, bad running shoes LANCE CPL. SCOTT L. TOMASZYCKI MCAS CHERRY POINT

When a group of Marines are told to be in green-on-green PT gear, you will see that they all match until you look down at their feet. One thing Marines usually don’t have in common is the type of shoe they wear. Every person’s body is built differently – especially the feet. Some people have high arches, some have flat feet, but the one thing they have in common is they are able to find and purchase the exact shoe that fits their unique needs. Personnel from Naval Health Clinic Cherry Point recently held classes in the Semper Fit Center to teach Marines and Sailors how to pick the proper running shoe for their feet, which can help reduce the chance of injuries. “The feet are the first contact that the body LANCE CPL.

Nimroz provinces.” The two provinces are known areas of insurgency, and VMA-513, according to Lt. Col. Peter Lee, the Harrier squadron’s commanding officer, will help “neutralize or eliminate mid- to high- level insurgent control structure.” “We’re allowing people to rebuild their lives,” said Walters, “to teach their children to improve their lives and how to live like free people.” During combat deployments, unit turnovers include a transfer of authority, a formal act where the outgoing squadron or battalion relinquishes the area of operations to the incoming unit. As part of their transfer of authority, VMFA-122 and VMA-513 flew the skies of Afghanistan together, less than a day after Lee landed the squadron’s flagship AV8B at Kandahar Airfield. “It is uncommon for different type-model-series fixedwing aircraft to fly as a section during combat operations,” explained Capt. Jonathan Reed, a VMFA-122 F/ A-18 Hornet pilot. “As far as working with them, that was the first time I’ve done it, and it was no problem at all,” explained Capt. Andrew Biddell, a VMA-513 pilot. Flying together in sections, the VMFA-122 Werewolves helped familiarize the Harriers of their new area of operations, the dust-colored blanket of land not too dissimilar from the ranges of Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Ariz., that VMA-513 calls home. The operations also included aerial refueling, courtesy of Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252, MCAS Cherry Point, N.C.-based, whose KC-130J Hercules aircraft supported both platforms. “I would say it’s a milestone,” said Reed, whose squadron recently completed its second combat tour since Vietnam. “Both pilot communities are very well-versed in (close-air support).” Another milestone for the Werewolves, as well as the Marine Corps, was the first employment of the GBU-54 for an F/A-18 squadron in the Corps. The GBU-54 is a laser-based bomb guidance system that provides greater precision in targeting both stationary and moving targets. The Nightmares, for their part, are the first Harrier squadron entering the fray since VMA-231 departed Afghanistan in May 2010, and VMA-513 is also underway on its first Afghanistan deployment since 2003. “We’re confident that we’ll provide the same quality level of support that VMFA-122 provided,” said Lee. “There will be no degradation in support.”

Bird Bath: Marine mechanics keep Harriers dust-free in Afghanistan

PFC. SEAN DENNISON

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Marine Attack Squadron 513 airframe mechanics clean one of the squadron’s AV-8B Harriers at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, June 3. Keeping Harriers free of Afghanistan’s fine sand, often called moon dust by Marines, helps ensure the multimillion dollar jets are ready on a moment’s notice. “We haven’t seen anything yet,” said Staff Sgt. Aaron Palacios, the VMA-513 airframe division chief and San Bernadino, Calif., native. “This weather is similar to Yuma. I don’t think things will get too crazy.”

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Lt. Cmdr. Wesley T. Myhand watches his son, Steven, 5, cast his line into Catfish Pond during the annual “Cast-A-Way” Kids Fishing tournament June 4. The children were separated into three age groups; 3-5, 6-10 and 11-15. “My son and I always have a good time during this event,” said Myhand. “Fishing is a great way to spend time together and to create memories. I learned how to fish from my father and now my son is learning from me. It is a part of our heritage to enjoy nature.” Myhand is a chaplain with Marine Aircraft Group 27.

CHAPLAIN from page A2

KENT from page A1

Michelle, lives in New Bern, N.C., and works as a personal trainer and as a mother to the couple’s three children – including twin 3-year-old daughters. “The Marines are away from their families, just like I am, so I am able to counsel them and offer first-hand guidance.” Ragain provides several religious services every week and also works with his squadron’s leadership to provide counseling to Marines who are facing difficulties. “In addition to the regular services out here, we are also doing suicide intervention training,” said Ragain. “It’s a week-long training program we do with leaders, to help with anyone who may be having suicidal ideations.” “I have had a couple of incidences in which I had to talk to Marines who were having troubling thoughts,” he said. “Generally, we would talk for a while and then I work with them to get the next level of help that they need.” Ragain’s efforts have proved valuable to his command, and squadron leaders said the chaplain’s well-known sense of humor and approachability are ideal for reaching Marines of all ranks. “He’s probably the greatest secret weapon I have here in my squadron,” said Lt. Col. Clarence Harper, the MALS-40 commanding officer. “The way he goes about building religious programs within the squadron is exceptional. He’s just a tremendous help. I love that guy like a brother.” 1st Lt. Joseph W. Steen, the logistics officer for MALS-40, said he attends Wednesday night services regularly to continue his spiritual education. He said since he met Ragain, they have become close friends. “He’s one of the best chaplains I’ve ever met,” said Steen. “He is appreciated and very respected in this squadron. We talk about three times a week and I can honestly say that we have a deep sense of friendship.” Petty Officer 2nd Class Jason Dockter serves as a religious programs specialist for MALS-40 and works side-by-side with Ragain. “Chaplain Ragain has been great to work for,” said Dockter. “I can work with him on a professional level, but I can also connect with him on a personal level and I think that helps us develop as a team when we meet with Marines and interact with them.” Since he’s been working with Ragain, Dockter has been in a prime position to witness the positive influence Ragain has made on the squadron. “I definitely see the impact he makes,” said Dockter. “It’s been apparent in our Bible studies. When we first got here the Bible studies started off very small, and since then they have grown exponentially. I think that is a testament to the kind of person Chaplain Ragain is, and how he’s able to deliver the word of God.” Although Ragain is known as a fun and approachable person, he takes his ministry very seriously. “I think the best thing that a chaplain can offer service members in a deployed environment is a representation of who God is,” said Ragain. “Since we’re strictly noncombatants and are not allowed to carry weapons, we’re set apart and I think people want us to be that representation of God.” Although he has gained the trust and appreciation of many Marines and Sailors in MALS40, Ragain’s goals are far from accomplished. “I want to be obedient to God,” Ragain said. “Being faithful to him and serving the Marines and Sailors the best I can is the best way I can do that. I just take it tour by tour and see where God leads me. I want to continue to grow in leadership, grow in my knowledge of scripture and who God is and how to best be a representative of him in whatever setting I’m in.”

Kent’s enthusiasm kept the Marines’ attention throughout, connecting with them on levels of laughter and seriousness. “He is still full of energy,” said Lance Cpl. Lucas B. Johnson, a bulk fuel specialist with Marine Wing Support Squadron 274. Johnson added that he always appreciated the way Sgt. Maj. Kent worked for the Marines and understood the kind of things they go through. “He’s basically us all grown up,” Johnson said. Putting Kent’s career in perspective, one of his former recruits was among those in attendance at the theater. “Master gunns – come down here,” Kent said to Master Gunnery Sgt. Christopher Pemberton, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing G3 operations chief. “I know it’s time for me to retire when I’ve got recruits that are sergeants major and master gunnery sergeants.” Pemberton modestly walked down and stood next to the sergeant major, and Kent told him how proud he was of him, but that he wanted to make sure he wouldn’t tell anybody what he used to do to them as a senior drill instructor. Pemberton grinned and leaned over into the microphone in Kent’s hand, saying, “Wait until he leaves, I’ll tell you guys anything you want to know.” Kent smiled while taking a parting glance at the Marines and Sailors across the theater, before leaving them with his lasting words. “I’m proud of you devil dogs, and remember, the eagle, globe and anchor is branded in our hearts forever.”

PEDRO from page A1 may have to rescue a pilot in a highly vegetated area. “The dense amount of trees and brush made it extremely difficult to see the simulated casualties while on the ground,” said Vinlove. “This also made it difficult to get the gear we needed from the helicopter to the ground, where we needed it.” Lance Cpl. Tristan L. Morgan said he felt the exercise gave him a better understanding of the stress of the job. “This was a huge learning experience,” said Morgan who is training to become a Pedro crew chief. “I have practiced a lot of these things by myself and then to put them all together was really tough. This job takes a lot of multi-tasking skills that I am developing.” Smith said the part the trainees struggle with the most is the multitasking. “They need to learn and learn fast to be a strong asset to Pedro,” said Smith. “For that reason we throw everything we can at them and try to stress them out just to see what they have down deep.” After the visit to the Croatan National Forest and the SAR-X was complete, Pedro moved to the water after picking up a few more passengers. “We have four Marines and Sailors getting their certification as rescue swimmers,” said Smith. In the open water a few miles off the coast from Fort Macon, swimmers deployed into the water along with Smith and another supervisor. They worked with the rescue strop putting it on people and taking it off while the water and waves rushed around the swimmers. “During our certification testing to become a SAR member, we are tested both physically and mentally,” said Vinlove. “Every time we do something right in our training, we learn a little bit more about our strengths and weaknesses in our jobs.” Morgan said he felt the training put their stress levels to the ultimate test with a shining bright light on the rewards of succeeding in their certification. “Every day we train to become SAR members,” said Morgan. “It is that spark and knowing that with each day we train, it brings me one more step closer to helping the Marine Corps, Cherry Point and our nation.”

RELIEF from page A1 “The role of sergeant major is to take care of your young ones, mentor everyone up and down the ranks to include officers, and be like a big dad to everyone,” said Sator. “Nobody is more suited to take over than Sgt. Maj. Nilsson. She will do great things.” Nilsson has taken on great responsibilities in the past, having served as a drill instructor at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and Officer Candidates School; as well as being the sergeant major of two previous battalion sized commands. “I am the enlisted advisor for the commanding officer,” said Nilsson. “It entails everything that happens in the control group. I talk to the Marines, I find out what their issues are and I take it to the commanding officer, hopefully to come up with a solution to make their life better. I’m looking forward to being with the wing.”

BEAUFORT from page A1 line – Sadie Latonis would meet her dad for the first time. “I was happy to get to hold her for the first time, it had seemed like forever waiting to meet my little girl,” said Sgt. Matthew Latonis, an intelligence analyst for VMFA-122. “It was an exciting deployment and a great time, but I am really excited to just be a dad for a while.”

Community’s warriors gather, pay Memorial Day tribute LANCE CPL. SCOTT L. TOMASZYCKI MCAS CHERRY POINT

Marines from a Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point rifle detail fire a 21-gun salute in honor of fallen military men and women at the New Bern National Cemetery in New Bern, N.C., May 30. The Craven County Veterans Council organized the event.

NEW BERN, N.C. – Dozens of senior men filed into the New Bern National Cemetery with serious, stern looks on their faces. Many of them wore veteran’s hats, displayed with a solemn pride that they had served their country in times of war during World War II, Korea and Vietnam. They came to pay respects to the friends they served with but had not made it back. Taps played at cemeteries across the country and at the New Bern National Cemetery May 30 as part of the Memorial Day remembrance of American service members, who fought and died in wars across the world. The Craven County Veterans Council organized the event with dignitaries who made speeches, conducted a wreath lying ceremony; and Marines from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, who fired a 21-gun salute and played Taps. Many participants of the ceremony said their appreciation of service members who died in America’s wars stems from the freedoms they died to protect. “It’s the soldiers, not the reporter, that gives you freedom of the press,” said James Ward, chairman of the Craven County Veterans Council, during his remarks. “It’s the soldier, not the politician, who gives you freedom of speech. It’s the soldier, not the campus organizer, who allows you to demonstrate. It’s the soldier who salutes the flag, serves the flag, and whose coffin is draped with the flag, who allows the protestors to burn the flag. It’s a

Veterans render their respects to the American Flag during the National Anthem at the Memorial Day ceremony in the New Bern National Cemetery May 30. Hundreds of people attended the ceremony in remembrance of American service members who fought in past and current wars. According to Rusty Clark, a corporal in the North Carolina National Guard and a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Memorial Day is not about barbecues, taking the day off work, or not going to school. It’s about taking time to remember the sacrifices of our troops.

beautiful sight I see out here, everyone coming to honor those who have given their lives for us to be able to do this or anything we want to in the United States.” Service members in the past and present have put their life on the line fighting for their country. Memorial Day is a day for American citizens to pay their respects to those who have fallen. “Everybody should take a minute out of their time and pay respects to our brothers and sisters who we lost in other countries the United States has sent them, to defend and serve us,” said Rusty Clark, an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran and a corporal in the North Carolina National Guard. “We need to reach out more to young people so the day isn’t about going out and barbecuing, being out of school or off of work, it’s really something special and we should pass it on to more generations.” One of the recurring themes during the ceremony was the human cost of the wars to preserve those freedoms. North Carolina Rep. Norman W. Sanderson stated that more than one million service members have died in battle since the American Revolution in 1775. While the cost of freedom has been high, remembrance of the price makes it mean something. “Let us never forget that under these stones there are dreams that will never be fulfilled, there are books that will never be written, there are songs that will never be sung, they gave the price for you and I so that we might enjoy the freedom that we have,” said Sanderson. “There’s a quote that says, ‘we are what we remember.’ If we remember the cost of freedom, we will remain free. Our freedom can never be taken from us, but we can give it away. Let’s not give it away. Let’s not make the sacrifices of one million men and women to no avail.” A new generation of troops does remember and will keep the memory of past service members alive. “It was a great honor to be able to pay respect for the people that have come before me and let me sleep safe in my bed at night,” said Lance Cpl. Kenneth Boatwright, the bugler at the ceremony. “I appreciate the old soldiers because without them serving before my time, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to serve my country, and the country might not even be here without their willingness to lay down their lives.”

Now playing: REINHILD MOLDENHAUER HUNEYCUTT MCB CAMP LEJEUNE PUBLIC AFFAIRS

“THE HANGOVER PART II” (R) “The Hangover 2” is the follow-up to the 2009 hit comedy “The Hangover.” The film brings the entire cast back for another twisted misadventure involving a missing person, Buddhist monks, a risky car chase, international crime and a drugdealing monkey. This time, the gang travels to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding, right after the bachelor party they had in Las Vegas in the first film. Reprising their roles of the tight-knit wolfpack are: Bradley Cooper (“Limitless”) as the hunky school teacher Phil Wenneck; Ed Helms (“Semi-Pro”) as the mild-mannered dentist Dr. Stuart ‘Stu’ Price; Zach Galifianakis (“Due Date”) as the eccentric misfit Alan Garner; and Justin Bartha (“New York I Love You”) as Doug Billings. Traveling to Thailand for his wedding, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch, taking into consideration the unforgettable bachelor party in Vegas. However, Stu’s plan goes seriously wrong after they lose the younger brother of Stu’s fiancé, played by Mason Lee. Things don’t always go as planned; and what happens in Bangkok is just totally beyond imagination. Also co-starring again are Ken Jeong (“Couples Retreat”) as the crazy Mr. Chow; Sasha Berrese (“Let Me In”) as Tracy; Bryan Callen (“Scary Movie 4”) as Eddie, a strip club owner; and Jeffrey Tambor (“Paul”) as Sid Garner. Jamie Chung (“”Grown Ups”) can be seen as Flora, Stu’s fiancé; Paul Giamatti (“Sideways”) plays Kingsley, and reappearing in a cameo is Mike Tyson as Himself. The star of this film, however, is the amazing Crystal, a 17-year-old capuchin monkey, who is a star in her own rights with more than 20 films to her credit. Todd Phillips (“Due Date,” “Old School,” “School for Scoundrels”), who also directed the first “Hangover” film, takes the helm again and creates more mayhem, more insanity and more depravity. “The Hangover 2”, the highly anticipated sequel to the highest grossing R-rated comedy ever, ups the ante from its predecessor and presents more raunchy humor and impossible hilarious situations, and more men behaving very badly; however nothing is ever as good or funny as the first time around. “BRIDESMAIDS” (R) “Bridesmaids” is a romantic comedy about the experience of a maid of honor. The story centers on two best friends and the pre-wedding events. Kristen Wiig (“Back-Up Plan,” “Paul”) stars as Annie, a simple Midwestern forever single girl with very low esteem, whose life is a mess. Maya Rudolph (“MacGruber,” “Away We Go”) stars as Lillian, the blushing bride to be, who upon her engagement, asks Annie, her best friend since childhood, to be her maid of honor. When Annie is asked to be maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding, she is happy to accept the honor until she finds out what the duties of a maid of honor curtail. Lovelorn and broke, Annie bluffs her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals with an oddball group of bridesmaids. Though Annie struggles as she tries to please the snobby rich bridesmaids at prewedding events, she will show Lillian and her bridesmaids just how far she is willing to go for someone she loves. Annie takes them on a wild ride down the road to matrimony, and all hell breaks out when they travel to Las Vegas for a party they will never forget. The colorful bridesmaids are portrayed by Rose Byrne (“Knowing,” “Get Him to the Greek”) as Helen, the uppity perfect one and new friend of the bride; Melissa McCarthy (“The Back-Up Plan”) as Megan, Lillian’s future sister-in-law and wild card of the bunch; Ellie Kemper (“Get Him to the Greek”) as Becca, the innocent one; and Wendy McLendon-Covey (“Bewitched”) as Rita, the real mother of three.

These films are playing at local theaters

Also on hand, is Matt Lucas (“Alice in Wonderland”) as Steve; Chris O’Dowd (“Pirate Radio”) as Officer Rhodes; and Jon Hamm (“The Town”) as Ted, Annie’s friend (with benefits). Jill Clayburgh (“Love and Other Drugs”) can be seen as Annie’s Mom in her final film appearance; she died in November 2010 before the movie was released. Paul Feig (“Unaccompanied Minors,” “I Am David”) directed this farce which was produced by Judd Apatow Productions (“Superbad,” “Knocked-Up,” 40-Year-Old Virgin”) and co-written by Kristen Wiig (“Saturday Live”). “Bridesmaids” is billed as the female version of the hilarious bachelor party portrayed in “Hangover.” However, it is very different in many aspects. “Bridesmaids” is equally raunchy and hilarious; but it is also smart, down-to-earth, and has real heart. “PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES” (PG-13) “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is the fourth adventure, and this time, the highly poplular pirate series is in 3D. Johnny Depp (“Rango,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Public Enemies”) is taking his fourth turn in playing the bizarre and egomaniacal swashbuckler Captain Jack Sparrow, who has lost his treasured ship, the Black Pearl, in the previous tale. This time around, he finds himself in a peculiar position with his old nemesis, the peg-legged Captain Barbossa, played again by Geoffrey Rush (“The King’s Speech”), who has given up piracy, so to speak, for service to his government and the King. Barbossa has been sent by the King on a mission of finding the elusive Fountain of Youth before the Spaniards, who are on the same quest to discover it. However, others are on the same track, like the mighty Blackbeard and his spitfire daughter with their ship Queen’s Revenge, on which Captain Sparrow is now a passenger. Penelope Cruz (“Nine,” “Vicki Christina Barcelona”) co-stars as Angelica, a saucy and fierce pirate, and a former flame of Jack, who still cares for him but also wants revenge. Ian McShane (“Case 39,” “Death Race”) plays her sadistic and evil father, the merciless and formidable pirate Blackbeard, a worthy opponent for Jack. And rocker Keith Richards reprises his role as Jack’s father, Captain Teague. Also returning is Kevin McNally (“Valkyrie“) who plays Jack’s right-hand man, Joshamee Gibbs. British newcomer, Sam Claflin, can be seen as Philip, a young missionary who is held hostage aboard Blackbeard’s ship and who falls for a captive mermaid. Spanish-French actress, Astrid Berges-Frisbey appears as Syrena, a beautiful and friendly mermaid, who is somehow needed to unlock the power of the Fountain of Youth. She is pretty helpless and fragile while captured and tormented by Blackbeard; however, when she is in the water she is, along with the other mermaids, transformed into voracious creatures of prey. The three previous installments were meant as a trilogy; however “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” begins a new adventure that can stand on its own. This time Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Nine,” “Memoirs of a Geisha,” “Annie”) directed and skillfully put together some sensational stunts and special effects. Uber-talented Jerry Bruckheimer returned as producer, who also procured Tim Power’s 1987 fantasy novel, On Stranger Tides, for the film’s background story. All in all, previous installments have been nominated for 11 Academy Awards and winning for Visual Effects in 2006 for “Dead Man’s Chest.” “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is another great adventure for all the fans of Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow and the fantasy world of pirates.

Marine Corps History June 10, 1898

The 1st Marine Battalion, commanded by Lt. Col. Robert W. Huntington, landed on the eastern side of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The next day, Lt. Herbert L. Draper hoisted the American flag at Camp McCalla where it flew during the next 11 days. Huntington later sent the flag with an accompanying letter to the commandant of the Marine Corps, Col. Charles Heywood, noting that, “When bullets were flying, the sight of the flag upon the midnight sky has thrilled our hearts.”

June 12, 1961

President John F. Kennedy signed a presidential proclamation calling for the American flag to be flown at the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, “ ... at all times during the day and night.” Discussions between the attorney general’s office and Marine Corps officials earlier in 1961 on improving the visibility and appearance of the monument led to the proposal to fly the flag continuously, which by law could only be done by congressional legislation or by presidential proclamation.

Penske credits team ‘integrity’ Roger Penske’s Sprint Cup teams are on a roll of late. Brad Keselowski won the pole for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte and was poised to win late in the race. Then on Sunday he won the STP 400 at Kansas Speedway. His teammate Kurt Busch won the pole at Kansas and led the most laps only to lose out on fuel-mileage at the end. Penske said in the winner’s interview at Kansas that his two teams are thriving because they’re working closely together instead of venturing out in different directions with chassis setups and such. “It’s so easy to get going in a different direction,” Penske said. “You see something that another team is doing and you go back and forth. And I think we’ve pretty much stayed together. I think the integrity and the transparency that [Keselowski’s crew chief Paul Wolfe] talked about with [Busch’s] 22 car has really paid off. “And the cars are better. Obviously the more that Brad runs in this series, he’s going to get better. You can see it. His restarts, the way he’s coming in the pits.” Penske went on to say that his pit crews are performing well, the Dodge engines are strong, and the whole company is giving it a full-bore effort. “We’ve got 350 people that are committed to these two guys and these two teams,” he said.

Dale Dale Earnhardt Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

‘I don’t want to disappoint’ Dale Earnhardt Jr. greets the fans before the NASCAR Sprint Cup All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 21 Charlotte, N.C. (NASCAR photo)

Through ups, downs beloved racing scion always class act hroughout his career, through the winning times, the losing skids and even the loss of his father, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has gained a reputation of showing an inordinate amount of class, even in the most disappointing situations. Two weeks ago at Charlotte Motor Speedway, he was a couple of turns away from breaking a 105-race losing streak, but ran out of fuel. He took the loss in stride, even as his fans reacted in disbelief and disappointment. He said that if he’d won under the circumstances of a gas-mileage strategy gamble, the victory would have been “a gift.” On Sunday at Kansas Speedway, he was again poised to win, but his fuel-mileage strategy didn’t work out because Brad Keselowski, also in fuel-conservation mode, beat him to the finish line. After both races, Earnhardt praised his team and moved forward, just as he has time and again in the past. During his regular pre-race media appearance at Kansas Speedway, NASCAR’s most popu-

T

lar driver talked about how he handles himself and how important it is to him to ensure that he never does anything to tarnish the Earnhardt name. “I don’t want to disappoint anybody,” Earnhardt said. “My father raced in this sport for a long time, and he raced in front and worked and talked and worked with a lot of people that I work with today – a lot of people that are in this room and a lot of people in that garage. “Being his son, I don’t want to disappoint anybody. I don’t want to say anything that’s going to make anyone ashamed of me. I just want to run good and I want to run well, but I want to act right too.” He said it’s important to him how he’s perceived both now and in the future. “In the end, I want people to say that I was a good person and I was honest – when I don’t race anymore or whatever – that I was a good guy to be around and a good sport about things,” he said. “Mainly, I just don’t want to humiliate what my dad did for the sport and what he did for himself,

NNS race has ‘soap box’finish Brad Keselowski crosses the finish line Sunday at Kansas Speedway. (NASCAR photo) what he did for our family name. I don’t want to do anything that’s going to tarnish any of that.” He went on to explain that showing class in tough spots doesn’t mean he doesn’t care, that he doesn’t want to return to his winning ways. And he said he can sympathize with his fans, who expressed their disappointment in many ways, including in YouTube videos. He said he’s the same way about his favorite sports team, the Washington Redskins. “When you’re passionate and you care – it’s a cliché – but when that’s all that matters you’re

ticked until things get right or you’re upset until things get right no matter what,” he said. “I can definitely relate.” Earnhardt said the one thing he sees that needs fixing to get him back to Victory Lane is his and his team’s performance during qualifying. “We need to work on qualifying to not make the day so long and so hard on us,” he said. “We need to start in the top 10 so we ain’t gotta work the first three-quarters of the race trying to get within sight of it. “That’s about it.”

Childress placed on NASCAR probation for punching Busch NASCAR’s “Have at it, boys” instructions apparently do not apply to car owners who slug drivers from other teams. NASCAR has fined owner Richard Childress $150,000 and placed him on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31 for punching Kyle Busch in the garage at Kansas Speedway following Saturday’s Camping World Truck Series race. Series officials issued the following statement: “The penalty we have announced [Monday] for Richard Childress reflects NASCAR’s response to the incident at Kansas Speedway on Saturday. We feel this action is appropriate and are confident all parties involved understand our position on this matter and will move forward appropriately.” The incident began after one of Childress’ drivers, Joey Coulter, was bumped by Busch on the cool-down lap of the truck race at Kansas. Reports of the incident say Childress confronted Busch in the garage area after the race. Busch and Childress’ drivers have a history of confrontations, including one at Darlington Raceway that saw Busch and another Childress driver, Kevin Harvick, placed on probation. NASCAR president Mike Helton, in a rare Sunday morning press conference, said Busch did not violate his probation. “We concluded that the driver of the 18 truck, Kyle Busch, did nothing to provoke or to cause the reactions that, in our opinion, would have violated probation, did nothing that would have warranted the actions of Richard Childress,” Helton said. “We’ll have to decide what NASCAR’s reaction is to Richard Childress as a member of NASCAR in an action against another NASCAR member.” Post-race fist-fights once were fairly commonplace in the NASCAR garage, but Helton said that’s something that NASCAR can’t let go on today.

Tony Stewart’s charity race, the Prelude to the Dream, has grown far beyond his original expectations. The race, set to run on Wednesday at Stewart’s dirt track, Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, features drivers from several forms of motorsports running Late Model cars in an event that precedes one of Eldora’s major races, the Dream. The Prelude to the Dream has one driver taking the checkered flag, as always, but the real winners are the people served by the charities the event supports. This year the drivers will be grouped into four teams, each representing a children’s hospital. Stewart, speaking to reporters at Kansas last week, said that with a favorable forecast, he’ll get to focus on something other than the weather in the days leading up to the race. “I never would have thought that seven years ago when we started this that it was going to grow as big as it is,” Stewart said. “To have the drivers that have come and set their time and day to come be part of it with us, I have really been truly honored. “We’re getting to raise a lot of money for great charities and to have fun at the same time. I’m glad to be able to do this seven years in a row.” Jimmie Johnson is the defending winner.

The stand-alone NASCAR Nationwide Series races this season have produced two victories by Nationwide regulars, whereas the Nationwide races run in conjunction with Sprint Cup events have been swept by double-dipping Cup drivers. Just two weeks after Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won at Iowa Speedway, Justin Allgaier won at his home track, Chicagoland Speedway. Allgaier’s victory had the feel of a Soap Box Derby race, as both he and runner-up Carl Edwards were out of fuel and coasting to the finish line. The difference was that third-place driver Trevor Bayne was bearing down on them at full speed but arrived too late to take the victory. Bayne said he wished he’d started his charge a little sooner, but that the important thing was that he felt fit after the race. It was his first time back in competition since April 23 at Nashville. He’s been out with an undiagnosed illness.

“I think throughout the history of NASCAR, we have gone through cycles of everything, including tempers in the garage and on the race tracks, and I think our responsibility lies in reacting to those trends, and if it is a trend that we feel like escalates, then we have a history of stepping in and turning those trends around,” he said.
