Force reconnaissance Marines with the 22nd Marine Expe-ditionary Unit completed a close quarters tactics course at Marine Corps Base Camp

Lejeune, Aug. 9.The five-week course, which covered

weapons firing, room clearing and breach-ing techniques, followed 18 days of ad-vanced combat training with Tier 1 Group at the end of June.

22nd MEU security element Marines were also attached to the platoon through-out the course.

I really want us to focus on good in-tegration with the security element and getting them up to our level, said Capt. Alex Usztics, force reconnaissance pla-toon commander.

The platoon practiced clearing rooms with two-man teams, then increased to pla-toon-sized building clearings.

A two-man clear is the very minimum amount of people you can go into a room with, said Sgt. Brandon Temple, assistant team leader. When only two men go into a room, each person has to do everything correctly.

The Marines added more men to the

teams, completing five-man room clears before moving to platoon-sized building clears. Special Operations Training Group instructors worked with the Marines to in-still muscle memory.

Getting everyone to act as one can be tough, said Temple.

You have people with different ex-perience levels and different schools that theyve been to, said Temple. Its never smooth sailing, but youre always learning something new.

The platoon also practiced how to en-ter a breached room and breach a blocked doorway using mechanical tools, explo-sives and an exothermic cutting rod.

It is essential for every Marine and sailor in his platoon to have a good foundation, since any member of the platoon could be the one entering the room first, said Usztics.

The force reconnaissance platoon is also scheduled to take part in an upcom-ing two-week visit, board, search and sei-zure course, training in maritime boarding actions and tactics.

The MEU is scheduled to deploy in early 2014 to the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of responsibility with the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group as a sea-based, expeditionary crisis response force capable of conducting amphibious missions across the full range of military operations.

In the fight against terror-ism, its important to always remain vigilant.

The Eagle Eyes program, launched in 2004, is a hotline for anyone in the military community to report and raise awareness of suspicious activity.

Through intelligence gath-ering, the United Nations learned Al Qaida, an interna-tional terrorist organization, usually conducts three to eight surveillance operations before each attack.

During at least one of those surveillance operations, an insurgent is physically at the possible location.

They dont want to fail, said Jeffrey Strohman, the mission assurance training program manager. (The ter-rorists) know having someone physically survey a location is the weakest point of the whole preplanning operation because they could get caught. Thats their vulnerability, and we want to exploit that.

Disseminating the hotline information throughout the military community is the goal of the program, Strohm-an added.

All (service members, dependents and DoD civil-ians) become force multi-pliers for the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, MCAS New River and MCAS Cherry Point areas, Stro-hman said. (The program) is inserted into all the train-ing evolutions so everybody knows how to use it.

Eagle Eyes is used as a training tool for the local po-lice and Provost Marshals Office personnel at the entry points of Camp Lejeune to re-port suspicious activity during exercises. A simulated suspect performs suspicious activ-ity during an exercise and the gate guards report it using the hotline or website.

Maj. Gen. Juan G. Ayala, Marine Corps Installations Command commanding general, shakes hands with Cpl. Theodore S. Verona, a mortarman with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, during a command visit aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Aug. 8. Ayala took time out of his schedule and talked with Marines one-on-one in their barracks. Ayala was briefed by base offi cials and commanders about the recent and future construction efforts to improve living conditions and modernize Camp Lejeune facilities. I love getting out to the Marines and seeing what I can do to help them complete the mission, Ayala said. Marines have never let me down, so Im going to continue to push and help them maintain their expeditionary readiness training in a safe and timely manner.

The Department of Veterans Affairs announced veter-ans filing an original Fully Developed Claim for service-connected disability compensation may be entitled to up to one-year of retroactive disability benefits. The retroac-tive benefits, which are in effect through Aug. 5, 2015, are a result of a comprehensive legislative package passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama last year. V.A. strongly encourages veterans to work with vet-erans service organizations to file Fully Developed Claims and participate in this initiative, since it means more mon-ey in eligible veterans pockets simply by providing V.A. the information it needs up front. Filing an FDC is typi-cally the fastest way for veterans to receive a decision on their claims because FDCs require veterans to provide all supporting evidence in their possession when they submit their claims. Often, this is evidence V.A. legally must at-tempt to collect on the veterans behalf, which is already in the Veterans possession, or is evidence the veteran could easily obtain, like private treatment records. For example, if you give the V.A. the information from your medical re-cords, they are not required to get the release of informa-tion form signed by you then have the agency release the information from them and mail it to the V.A. in order to get your information. So if they ask for it, send it.

When veterans submit such evidence with their claims, it significantly reduces the amount of time V.A. spends gather-ing evidence from them or other sources often the longest part of the claims process. While V.A. will still make efforts to obtain federal records on the veterans behalf, the submit-tal of non-federal records (and any federal records the vet-eran may have) with the claim allows V.A. to issue a decision to the veteran sooner. Typically, V.A. processes FDCs in half the time it takes for a traditionally filed claim.

FDCs can be filed digitally through the joint, DoD-V.A. online portal, eBenefits (www.ebenefits.va.gov). V.A. encourages veterans who cannot file online to work with an accredited veterans service organization who can file claims digitally on veterans behalf. While submitting an FDC provides a faster decision for any compensation or pension claim, only veterans who are submitting their very first compensation claim as an FDC are potentially eligible for up to one-year of retroactive disability benefits under the newly implemented law. V.A. is slowly getting away from the old paper trail; however the veteran must keep copies of all records submitted to the V.A.

FDCs help eliminate V.A.s claims backlog because they increase production of claims decisions and decrease waiting times. Also, V.A. assigns FDCs a higher priority than other claims which means veterans receive decisions to their claim faster than traditional claims. In May, V.A. announced a new partnership with veterans service organi-zations and others known as the community of practice, an effort that seeks to reduce the compensation claims backlog for veterans by increasing the number of FDCs filed by veterans and their advocates. V.A. is continuing to implement several initiatives to meet the departments goal to eliminate the claims backlog in 2015. In May, V.A. announced it was mandating overtime for claims proces-sors in its 56 regional benefits offices to increase produc-tion of compensation claims decisions through the end of FY 2013. In April, V.A. launched an initiative to expedite disability compensation claims decisions for veterans who have waited a year or longer

What this means for veterans is the V.A. wants you to provide the information to assist you. It is up to you to do so.

The Globe bids farewell to publisher

Ryan Douglas Mangrum

Shackleford Banks.

There are few times in our careers when we come across a great leader. A leader who possesses the ability

to make his employees feel invested in the accomplishments of the com-pany, who leads by example and en-courages people to strive for success.

For the last nine years, I have had the honor of working alongside such a leader.

Jim Connors, publisher for Land-mark Military Media of North Caro-lina, The Globe and RotoVue, has been the epitome of what true leader-ship is about, delicately balancing the weight of his authority and his skills as a mentor. It is with sadness The Globe team bids farewell to Connors.

Thanks to his guidance and lead-

ership for nearly a decade, our staff received four Thomas Jefferson Awards for Journalistic Excellence, two USMC Division of Public Af-fairs Awards, a USMC Combat Correspondents Association Merit Award and was named Best News-paper in the Marine Corps in 2004, 2008 and 2009.

The Globe circulation increased to more than 600 locations and be-came a robust media source, both in print and online, by delivering news to our military families and sur-rounding community.

Our team has grown profession-ally thanks to his wealth of knowl-edge and motivation.

Under his tutelage, our staff devel-oped six niche publications, which have been a success in our commu-nity. Though Connors never served in the military himself, his heart and his passion while at The Globe has been to give honor to whom honor is due. His deep respect for the mili-tary inspired him to help create the two major events The Globe hosts each year to honor and recognize service members, both active duty and retired, and those who support

them. This year marked the sixth year of Heroes at Home: Still Serv-ing Awards, an event dedicated to recognizing military spouses. In De-cember we will celebrate the third consecutive year of Still Serving, an event that recognizes those who are still serving our community after their military career.

There is no greater motivation than seeing the boss down in the trenches working alongside his em-ployees, showing that hard work is done on every level. Connors was not afraid to jump at the opportu-nity to help his team. It was not a strange sight to see him roll up his sleeves and help deliver newspapers at 4 a.m. on a Thursday morning or joining the editorial team with a camera in hand to assist coverage during a presidential visit. Speak-ing for my staff, I know we will greatly miss his humor, knowledge and genuineness.

It has been a privilege working under his leadership.

We wish him great success in his future pursuits and hope he re-alizes the impact he made in the community.

Service members who suffer from Post-Trau-matic Stress Disorder and traumatic brain injuries may have a new treatment called Hy-perbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases the amount of oxygen in your red blood cells and the tissue in your body, which may change the way the body heals.

When you are just breathing air youre breathing about 21 percent oxygen, by breathing 100 percent oxygen and adding the pressure it may change how the body heals the mind, said Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Lesley the staff neurologist for the Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital.

To undergo the treatment, an injured service member must first pass a physical to make sure he or she doesnt have any inner ear problems or other illness keeping the them from benefiting from the process. After passing the physical, the service member can begin Hyperbaric Oxy-gen Therapy.

Dr. Lesley said the Camp Lejeune Naval Hospitals Hy-perbaric Oxygen Therapy consists of 40 sessions through-out a 12-week time period.

Each session consists of the patient entering either a monoplace chamber, a one person chamber, or a multi-place chamber, a multiple person chamber, where the pressure increases slowly to an equivalent of 17 feet under-water. Then either the chamber is filled with 100 percent oxygen, or an individual patient wears a mask filled with oxygen. The oxygen and pressure stimulates the bodys red blood cells and tissues which could change the bodys healing process. After the session is complete, the patient is brought back to the pressure of sea level.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has not officially been proved as a therapy for PTSD or TBI, said Dr. Lindell K. Weaver, the study director of hyperbaric medicine and mild TBI. However, it has been proven to help with bone infections, burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, radiation wounds, decompression illness and skin grafts.

Currently, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is being tested and is in the approval process by the Federal Drug Admin-istration for treatment for PTSD and TBIs.

Whether the therapy is proven to help PTSD and TBIs or disproven, the results will help service members, said Lesley. There are service members who pay out of pocket for this treatment out in town. If we can prove it works, then we can provide the treatment; if it doesnt work, then we can save service members their money.

8th Engineer Support Battalion trains with 2nd TracksLANCE CPL. SULLIVAN LARAMIE2nd Marine Logistics Group

Marines with 8th Engineer Sup-port Battalion, 2nd Marine Logis-tics Group, trained newer members of the unit, as well as Marines with 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, in the basics of demolitions during a field op-eration aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently.

The service members used expe-dient charges bombs which were made in the field using on-hand ma-terials and C-4 explosives. Among the explosives employed were wall- and door-breaching charges, anti-personnel charges and obstacle-clearing Bangalore torpedoes.

The Marines were getting hands-on training with the expedi-ent demolitions, said Sgt. Dan-iel B. Wiggins, a combat engineer. (They were learning) what goes into the explosives and how theyre made. They were very excited to get (hands-on training) because a lot of the Marines, especially from (2nd Tracks), dont use explosives at all so it was a good experience for them.

Following the demolition train-ing, the Marines with 8th ESB and 2nd Tracks boarded several Assault Amphibious Vehicles and crossed the New River on their way to a range for a different type of explo-sive: rockets.

The service members were joined by Marines with 2nd Com-bat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Ma-rine Division and learned to fire Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapons.

We fired about 65 rockets, which is unheard of around here, said Cpl. Jacob H. Meese, a com-bat engineer with 8th ESB. We got to get together and shoot the SMAWs, which I had never even seen before. It was really cool to fire a live rocket, and Im sure Ill never get to do that again.

Several Marines expressed a desire for further cooperative exer-cises to expand knowledge among all units in case one is unavailable

for a particular mission.We would like to do more

joint operations with other units, said Wiggins. (Because of) the drawdowns in the Marine Corps, its kind of hard to use our own as-sets so we try to incorporate other units so everyone can get mixed training.

The operation gave Marines an opportunity to share their expertise

and understanding with others and build the skills of fellow service members.

Some people dont understand much at all about (demolitions), said Meese. Its really cool when people come up to you, ask about your (military occupational spe-cialty) and theyre really interested. To you its normal, but to them its a whole new world.

The Marine For Life and Per-sonal and Professional Development programs help service members find the tools to draw their civilian career roadmaps.

Any Marine leaving active service, either through retirement or separa-tion, is eligible to use the programs offered for career advancement.

Marines shouldnt wait to utilize these programs, said Lt. Col. Jerard Brewer, district officer in charge for the Marine For Life program. Thirty to 90 days until their end of active service is not enough time to start the process. Brewer recommends Marines start 12 months before their end of active service.

Theres an entire command sec-tion dedicated to helping service members with the transition, but ser-vice members dont always make the connection, said Brewer.

The Transition Readiness Semi-nar is a mandatory week-long pro-gram designed to help transitioning service members decide on a path-way for life after retirement or sepa-ration from service. Marines learn

about education and career oppor-tunities, technical training, employ-ment and entrepreneurship.

The Montgomery and Post 9/11 GI Bills along with Tuition Assistance provide financial options for educa-tion, while regionally accredited insti-tutions provide resources needed for career training and employment.

Individuals exiting the Marine Corps will be asked to provide Per-sonal and Professional Development a rsum, said Brewer. He added individuals should start it now, and continue to update as they progress in the Marine Corps.

Rsum building is offered through transition readiness semi-nars. Advisors provide individuals with a step by step process, and also serve as the link between service members and the Marine For Life program. They help Marines find work and mentors in every job field to assist service members transition-ing into the civilian work force.

The seminar was extremely effective in helping make the transition, said David RestoCruz, who separated from the Marine Corps as a sergeant with more than seven years experience as an

embarkation specialist.It gave me all the tools needed

to put together a perfect rsum, said RestoCruz. With the help from TRS and the rsum building, it got me the job I have now as an assistant manager at Sams Club.

Job fairs and expositions also assist Marines and sailors with the network-ing needed to continue a successful career after retirement from service.

The Marine For Life program may not have someone in a specific job a service member is looking for, but we have a contact that has the in-formation, said Brewer.

The best thing a Marine or sailor can do is to visit the Person-al and Professional Development staff aboard their installation, said Shawn Conlon, Personal and Profes-sional Development branch head. Let the advisors guide you through a personal assessment that will help you identify your values, interests and skills to define what the next step will be.

For more information on Personal and Professional Development call 449-9713 or contact Bill Mottley for appointments with transition readi-ness advisors at 451-4260.

To help avoid future terrorist threats, the Incident Response to Terrorist Bombings course, conducted quarterly aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, has a curriculum which covers

in detail bomb-making components, high explosive effects and how to recognize and detect improvised explosive devices.

The course, which is certified by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Department of Homeland Security, is an advanced, four-hour long class that increases threat awareness.

As part of the curriculum, students learn the basics of low explosives and high explosives.

We talk about the explosives because these ener-getic materials and chemicals are used in the most highly proficient terrorist activities globally, said Jeffrey Strohman, the mission assurance training pro-gram manager and course instructor. You can see the importance with deploying and garrison Marines as well as the first responders, who can roll up on any scene or situation, to know this information for their safety and the safety of innocent bystanders.

The materials discussed during the class are used in more than 70 percent of all terrorist attacks.

Strohman uses videos, slides and passes around in-ert training aides during the course simulating bomb components of IEDs, which gives students hands-on training about what to look for.

We talk in detail about the effects, components of high explosives, said Strohman. The students earn a very keen respect for high explosives, how to not handle them, and the distances to safely be from various levels of high explosives. I have to stress only explosive ordnance disposal experts should handle explosive materials if any are found.

High explosives can detonate anywhere from 3,300 to 28,000 feet per second.

That is very fast and very powerful, Strohman said. Often times, the bombs will have fragmenta-tion components added to them to increase the devas-tation done during a terrorist attack.

The course also covers common uses to carry or hide IEDs, such as backpacks, vehicles and suicide bombers.

Globally, suicide bombings are up 25 percent. The tactics and techniques terrorists use are being modi-fied to what is most effective. That is why Strohman includes the subject material in the terrorist bombings course and instructs an entire course dedicated to sui-cide bomber techniques.

The students of the course appreciate the curriculum.I enjoyed the class because it gave a lot of use-

ful information in a straightforward and interesting way, said Staff Sgt. Francisco M. Martinez, an Inci-dent Response to Terrorist Bombings course student. Its a great class for anyone who needs the certifica-tion or wants more information about the level one training we all take.

For more information about the Incident Response to Terrorist Bombings course or other training class-es, call Jeffrey Strohman at 451-9353, or email him at jeffrey.strohman@usmc.mil.

Ive noticed the Eagle Eyes information all around the base, said Staff Sgt. Francisco M. Martinez, inbound section, installation personnel administration center staff noncommissioned officer in charge. This is great information for everyone to know, because we have to stay vigilant even in garrison.

Strohman spearheaded the Eagle Eyes program from the ground up and aligned it with the new Trapwire online reporting program.

The Trapwire program offers a website link available from any mobile device capable of accessing the internet to upload reporting information and photos of suspicious persons or activity to a national database for law enforcement to cross reference.

If someone in Texas takes a photo of a suspicious vehicle or person and uploads it to the Trapwire website, and the same vehicle or person is reported in another part of the country, law enforcement can work together to locate terror-ist sleeper cells or any other kind of threat that may occur, Strohman said.

The Trapwire online program complements the existing Eagle Eyes pro-gram very well, Strohman said. Its a good asset, and its working.

Strohman conducts classes about incident response procedures and first re-sponder training and incorporates the information of the programs into each of his classes.

This is risk mitigation through training and technology, said Strohman.

The programs are advertised throughout base with signs and on the elec-tronic billboards as well as a Facebook page to inform the community.

For more information about Eagle Eyes or Trapwire, contact Jeffrey Stro-hman at 451-9353, or email him at jeffrey.strohman@usmc.mil. To report suspicious activity, visit www.usmceagleeyes.org or call the Eagle Eyes number at 451-3333.

LANCE CPL. KRISTA JAMES2nd Marine Division

Marines with Company B, 2nd Light Ar-mored Reconnaissance Battalion participated in qualification exercises for gunner positions in Light Armored Vehicle 25A2s at Shooting Range 7, Aug. 5.

Staff Sgt. Nicholas Brundige, a platoon sergeant with Company B, 2nd LAR said this training is part of the annual qualifications for gunners.

We get everyone out here for (quali-fication) to make sure everyone is spun up and knows their jobs, Brundige said. Each platoon has four different crews, and at the end, whoever shoots the best will claim the title Top Gun,The Marines spend each day going through five different courses that included still and moving fire, and concealment. Course six was designated for qualifications and con-tained every aspect of the training.

The Marines spend months maintaining the LAVs and the weapons systems, the bian-nual gunner qualifications give the Marines a rare opportunity to actually shoot the guns.

This benefits us mostly because we maintain

the gun all throughout the year, and we only get to shoot it a few times a year, said Lance Cpl. Kyle Dukatz, a gunner with Company B, 2nd LAR Battalion.

Brundige said over all, the exercise ran smoothly and went well.

We had two crews that shot extremely well, along with the rest of the company shooting very well, said Brundige. Weve got about four new crews, and the new guys are really grasping the whole concept of being an LAV gunner.

Dukatz said being able to do the gunner qualifications more often would greatly improve the Marines abilities and what they need to improve before they deploy.

If we could do it more we would be a lot more accurate, said Dukatz. Our abilities would be improved substantially, so when we go on deployment, or on pre-deployment, wed be right on top of it every time instead of having to get back into it.

Since the Marines dont get the opportu-nity to qualify very often, earning the title of Top Gun becomes even more exciting.

If the Marines dont claim Top Gun, they have a shot at the title in six months when 2nd LAR will qualify again.

CPL. KYLE N. RUNNELS26th Marine Expeditionary Unit

During their 2013 de-ployment to the 5th and 6th fleet areas of responsibility, the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit rides aboard ships that make up the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group. They conduct training with various countries in the area while stand-ing guard ready to respond to a crisis in a moments notice.

When and if called upon, the 26th MEU relies heavily on the combat cargo Marines assigned to each ship. They are responsible for getting everything and everyone off ship in a timely manner. Help-ing lead the combat cargo Marines aboard the USS Kearsarge, Cpl. Justin Rudisill shines, taking the lead as their well deck noncommis-sioned officer in charge.

We are in charge of moving any piece of gear, food, vehicle or pack, said Rudisill. Basically anything that comes on or off the ship, combat cargo is moving it.

The job of combat cargo is considered a temporary additional duty with no prerequisites in order to be selected. Rudisill said he volunteered for the job, knowing his background of landing support specialist would give him the foundation to ensure success during his deployment.

Everything I do in the well deck with the vehicles, like loading the (Landing Craft Air Cushions), I did for my job on the beach, said Rudisill. Being a red patcher, I am in charge of taking gear on the beach, putting it on the LCAC and sending it to ship. Now, instead of being the guy on the beach and tak-ing it off or putting it on, I am the guy on ship who loads it and sends it back to the beach.

He said one of the main dif-ferences was the space available. The beach is infinitely big when compared to the room in the well deck. They often say working in the well deck is like playing Tetris. You constantly have to move gear and vehicles around in order to get the pieces to fit right.

Rudisill had experience com-ing in here doing exactly what we needed him to do for combat car-go, said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kacy Raye. Being a red patcher, he had already been part of (beach

operation groups) and (pier offload groups) and other things which are very similar to what we do in the well deck.

Rudisill said he is going to take the knowledge he has received

working in combat cargo and ap-ply it to his job when he returns to Combat Logistics Battalion 26. He said he will be able to load the LCACs at the beach to help the offload in the well deck since he has a better under-standing of their operations.

Aside from having previous experience working with the landing forces operational gear, Rudisills work ethic and ability to lead gives the staff noncom-missioned officers and officers a Marine they can rely on.

If there was one attribute I would ask for from the NCOs who show up here, it would be that they have leadership experience: it is absolutely vital, said Ray, combat cargo officer in charge assigned to the USS Kearsarge. He has risen to the top. I would say having guys like Rudisill the SNCOs can trust is probably a very comforting relief to them. The Marines we have running the show now are the Marines we know we can count on to make sure everybody stays safe, hydrated and gets everything done.

Last year, the Cherry Point Sprint Triathlon attracted a record turn-out of more than 200 athletes to compete

in the event organized by Marine Corps Community Services Semper Fit aboard Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.

This year, Semper Fit hopes to break another record when the competitors arrive at Hancock Pool aboard Cherry Point to swim, bike and run their way to the finish line, Aug. 17.

The event is expected to attract more competitors this year, as the triathlon gains supporters and ath-letes with each passing year.

Adults arent alone in their trek to triathlon success, as 7 to 12-year-old children will join the ranks and compete in their own triathlon.

The 7 to 9-year-old athletes will compete in a 50-meter swim, one and a half mile bike ride and half mile run. The 9 to 12-year-old com-petitors will swim 100-meters, bike three miles and run one-mile. The adult competitors ranging from 13 to 65-years-old, will split into 11 sepa-rate groups before a 400-meter swim, 10-mile bike ride and three-mile run.

The sprint triathlon makes up one part of Semper Fits 2013 Grand Prix Series, which takes place each year at Cherry Point, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and the surrounding areas.

Athletes earn points for each event they compete in throughout the year, adding up to their end-of-year score.

The top six contenders, three female and three male, will receive recognition at an awards ceremony after the Santa Shuffle 5K, Dec. 14.

The triathlon begins at Hancock Pool where swimmers will crouch down and ready themselves for a dive into the race lanes, knowing the swim is only the start of a long journey ahead.

As sweat pours down their face and into their eyes, competitors will have to maintain focus on the finish line and work through the aches and pains of putting their body through so much.

When the triathlon participants cross the finish line Saturday, a medal will be placed around their neck, and they will take pride in their perseverance.

Crosby believes the pain com-petitors experience throughout the event will fade, but the memories made will last a lifetime.

THE GLOBE, CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. 2B AUGUST 15, 2013

The Dog Days of Summer arrived this month when the star Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, aligned with the high, mid-summer sun and created hot, humid and stagnant days.

A few modifications to your fishing routine will help you beat the heat and continue angling.

First, you need to match the habits of summer fish and avoid the midday heat by fishing very early, or late at night for spots and sea mullet.

Other options include fishing in the deeper, cooler waters or around shaded areas around bridges, piers and docks.

Offshore, thermo clines may help provide cooler shelter for pelagic species.

Another approach to adapt with summer fish is to target hot-water tolerant fish and warm-water species including pompano, spadefish, sheepshead and tarpon.

This time of year, the Neuse River drum fishery harbors fresh people eating shrimp and soft-shell mole crabs, both favored baits for pompano and sea mullet.

The Spadefish love clams and chunks of cannonball jellyfish, whereas sheepsheads prefer fiddler crabs and spiny sea urchins.

This weekend, the Dog Days of Summer didnt affect the mackerel attack mode, and anglers landed both kings and Spanish mackerel in abundance, especially when slow trolling live pogies along the beach.

This time of year, a sailfish or dolphin fish catch may surprise you while live-baiting for kings a few miles off the beach.

Fishermen landed sizable fish east of Beaufort Inlet in 40-foot waters, while boats worked Keypost Rocks and near shore rocks out of Bogue.

The artificial reefs out of both inlets produced many catches, including AR 315, 320, 330, 342 and 345.

The high activity in the water is due to the abundance of bait, recently.

In addition to plenty of bait, fishermen saw clear waters with moderate temperatures.

The summer water temperatures remained between 77 and 82-degrees, unusually moderate for the Dog Days.

In contrast, the weekend brought little reward for anglers in the surf with mostly short fish, sea mullets

and spots, although some reported catches of red drum and flounder around Ft. Macon.

To the west in the Bogue Inlet surf, I caught only a few short flounder and red drum.

I brought in one red drum with the measurements of a low to upper-slot fish, between 18 and 27-inches.

When the summer days become long and stagnant, the pier anglers also find themselves adapting to the summer fish habits.

When piers adapt to beat the heat, the fishermen reel in a wide variety of fish, but not an abundance of any particular species.

Bogue Pier experienced another hot week in king mackerel catches which brought the piers count up to nearly two dozen kings since July 16.

The Spanish mackerel also lingered around the pier, joined with a mix of tarpon and a few barracuda.

A pier regular lost a four-pound flounder on live shrimp Monday, but most flounder catches measured short.

In the evening hours, anglers brought up sheepshead, croakers, spots, slot red drum and sea mullet.

Down on Topsail Island, Seaview Pier landed several king mackerel this week, continuing the mackerel attack at the piers along the coastline.

Seaview fared well and added Hatteras blues, grey trout and Spanish mackerel to their list of succesful catches.

Surf City Pier reported a consistent pattern of two king mackerel each day, and added Spanish mackerel, flounder, spots and blues to their list of catches.

Over the past few days, Jolly Roger Pier reported Spanish mackerel but no kings.

Some Jolly Roger anglers landed six-pound Spanish mackerel on king rigs, while others reeled in two-pounders on GotCha plugs.

This weekends inside fishing included redfish and speckled trout caught on top-water baits, Gulp lures, and live mullet and shrimp.

A noteworthy catch came at the north end of Core Creek, where an angler reeled in an eight-pound speckled trout.

Core Creek sits right near Adams Creek, where weekend anglers reported pulling up an

abundance of stripers.The stripers hooked themselves

on the live shrimp dangling from the anglers fishing rods.

To the west, fishermen brought up good catches of redfish and speckled trout from Swansboro to New River.

This weekend, the newly returned drum bite in the Neuse and Pamlico areas continued and indicated a great season for red drum fishing.

Grab hold of your rod and reel, because the large red drum in this fishery put up a fight with a hard pull.

These fish often bite at cut bait, menhaden or hardhead mullet on an Owen Lupton circle hook rig, but some fishermen also reported catches on sight-casting bucktails.

If youre angling, youll want to stay on high alert in the next few weeks for the first wave of the Crystal Coasts Mullet Blow.

The infamous mullet movement typically begins around late August or early September when a blast of northeast wind arrives on the coastline.

This marks the beginning of a massive migration as mullet begin moving out of the creeks and sounds, followed by drum, flounder and speckled trout.

When the fish migrate out of the inlets and along the beaches and move south for the cold winter season, anglers wave goodbye to the Dog Days of Summer and say hello to great fall fishing.

With the Dog Days of Summer still lingering, anglers must adapt to the summer fish until the fall fishing season finally arrives.

A participant of Hard Corps Beast, a High Intensity Tactical Training Center class, builds his core with a medicine ball during a tough group class at the H.I.T.T. Center aboard Camp Lejeune, Aug. 6.

LANCE CPL. JACKELINE PEREZ RIVERAMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Members of the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune community can shrink their waistline and strengthen their cores at Hard Corps Beast.

From 11 to 11:25 a.m. Monday through Friday, High Intensity Tactical Training Center instructors conduct a dynamic range of workouts designed to tone participants abdomi-nal muscles.

Core strength is the foundation of daily life, said Nicole Freres, a H.I.T.T. Center instructor. If patrons create a strong

core they will have fewer injuries.

The core describes the muscles around a persons torso, including their back, side, pelvic area and ab-dominal muscles.

Core muscles support al-most all activities including everyday acts and on-the-job activities.

Standing, sitting, lifting and carrying items are among the many ways core muscles are used every day.

Any exercise you do involves your core, whether its walking, jogging, run-ning, squatting or power lifting, said John Heger, the H.I.T.T. Center man-ager. A strong core is a necessity.

The class is quick paced

with high intensity, result-ing in a stronger workout.

Weighted medicine balls are used to increase resistance and make the exercises more challenging than they would be other-wise, said Freres.

We like to give the best product we can, said Freres. We always want patrons to walk away feeling like theyve accom-plished something. If they walk away and say it was a challenge, we have done our job.

Hope Wallis, a patron who has attended the class for a year, said the instruc-tors are motivating and make working out fun.

Its a challenging class, said Wallis. (The instruc-

tors) always mix it up.Since she began attend-

ing the class, Wallis has noticed she has become stronger, her body fat has decreased and her muscles are more defined.

Despite the intensity of the class, all patrons are encouraged to participate.

We like to see people of all fitness levels come consistently to get better and stronger, said Freres. We want to get people out here exercising.

The H.I.T.T. Centers fa-cility accommodates larger groups. Most classes have

30 to 80 participants. Hard Corps Beast is

taught by a variety of instructors to keep the cur-riculum fresh.

We have seen that pa-trons like having a variety of instructors versus just one person teaching the class, said Freres.

Occasionally, multiple instructors take the helm for a class and rotate through exercises. Each instructor brings something new to the class, said Heger.

Instructors conduct research, go to fitness conventions and observe

patrons at the H.I.T.T. Cen-ter for new workout ideas.

As fitness professionals, were constantly looking for new ideas so patrons dont get used to the same thing, said Freres. You have to challenge the body in different ways.

H.I.T.T. Center instruc-tors are also available for private sessions.

For more information or to request private instruc-tion for your unit, visit mccslejeune.com/fitness-center/hitt.htlm, or call 451-0122.

Rolling rip tides, hazardous marine life and powerful waves all add to the dangers of swimming in the open ocean, making it a dangerous place, even for the most advanced

swimmers. Sitting above the shore watching beachgoers,

lifeguards must deal with a variety of life-threaten-ing factors on a daily basis.

On any given day, Onslow Beach aboard e Camp Lejeune fills with military members and their families in search of a relaxing day under the sun.

Cpl. Joey Roehrig and Cpl. Wes Marion saved four lives this summer, and each life-threatening situation started with a rip tide too strong for swimmers to handle on their own.

The current can be very difficult to escape, even for an experienced swimmer.

Earlier this summer, two children swimming at Onslow Beach found themselves caught in a strong rip current, struggling to stay above water and swim back toward the shore.

Wes and I ran into the water and grabbed two kids caught in a rip. Their parents were trying to help, but there wasnt much they could do, said Roehrig.

Later in the summer, the lifeguards teamed up again when Roehrig spotted two children yelling

for help and rushed in with Marion to assist. Their saves arent a simple stroke of good luck. The two lifeguards must put forth great strength

and athleticism to save someone from the barreling waves and devastating rip currents of the Atlantic Ocean.

All beach lifeguards must meet specific require-ments established by the United States Lifesaving Association, one of which includes swimming 500-meters in under 10 minutes.

Roehrig and Marion, along with other- life-guards in the community, serve to ensure the safety of swimmers. These lifeguards protect people from dangers they may not know exist.

The ocean can take even the good swimmers, said Roehrig.

History comes to life as pirates invade BeaufortAMY BINKLEYLifestyles editor

A vast me hearties and hear the tale of the return of the brethren of the sea.Long ago, before the Marine Corps was a glimmer in the coun-trys eye, an enemy lurked in the waters along the shores of the Crystal Coast. The wandering renegades who pillaged towns and made off with ships were known by one name pirates and they would not be stopped.

But in 1747, in the town of Beaufort, N.C., 13 men took up arms to defend their village. They formed one of the first elite fighting forces and de-feated their adversaries.

Thousands of visitors saw history come to life during the 2013 Beaufort Pirate Invasion, where the epic battle between the citizens and the buccaneers played out on

the streets of the tight-knit community, Aug. 9 and 10.My parents used to bring me when I was a little

girl, said Amy DeBeuhl, a local resident. All of this is true. It really happened.

Cannons were ablaze while Capt. Horatio Sin-bad navigated his ship, the Meka II, near Grayden Paul Park as re-enactors on shore, dressed in full pirate and militiamen regalia, re-created the fight from more than 250 years ago.

I love the smell of gun powder in the morning, Sinbad called out to the audience.

The crowd joined in on the fun, sporting their own versions of pirate costumes, and cheered as the two sides clashed their swords, shot their rifles and hurled insults across the field.

Following their capture by the militia, visitors watched the scallywags be taken to the jail located at the Beaufort Historical Site and put on trial for their crimes.

Photos by Amy BinkleyVisitors join the celebration in their best pirate garb as the scallywags re-enact the 1747 battle, with the help of Capt. Horatio Sinband and his ship, the Meka II, during the 2013 Beaufort Pirate Invasion in Beaufort, N.C., Aug. 10.

THE CONJURING (R)

The Conjuring is a supernatural horror film based on a true life story of a family in need of an exorcism in 1970s Rhode Island.

The film tells the tale of world-renowned paranormal investigators called upon to help a fam-ily terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse.

Patrick Wilson (Pro-metheus, Insidious) and Vera Farmiga (Safe House, Up in the Air) portray Ed and Lorraine Warren, paranormal investigators who help a family living in horror at their home.

Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find them-selves caught in the most horrifying case of their lives.

Lili Taylor (Pub-lic Enemies) and Ron Livingston (Dinner for Schmucks) portray Caro-lyn and Roger Perron, a working-class couple and residents of the remote and run-down farm house in Harrisville.

Costarring as their five daughters are Stanley Caswell as Andrea, Hay-ley McFarland as Nancy, Joey King as Christine, Mackenzie Foy as Cindi, and Kyla Deaver as April.

Shannon Kook plays Drew, Warrens investiga-tive assistant, and Steve Coulter is Father Gordan.

Also appearing are

Sterling Jerins as Judy, Warrens little girl; and Marion Guyot as Geor-giana, her grandmother.

John Brotherton co-stars as Brad, the local law enforcement official who is skeptical of the Perrons claim and the Warrens tactics.

James Wan (Insidi-ous, The Saw, Death Sentence) directs this psychological torture piece from a screenplay by Chad and Carey Hayes (The Reaping), with details taken from the case files from married demon-ologists Ed and Lorrain Warren, who also investi-gated the Amityville case.

The Conjuring is a haunted house saga that brings back memories of the 1970 film Amityville Horror. It is an intense and terrifying film with disturbing violence and terror.

Now playing at the Patriot 12 and Carmike 16 in Jacksonville

2 GUNS (R)2 Guns is an action

comedy based on a 2008 BOOM! Studios comic series of the same name.

The film centers on a fragile alliance between two operatives from competing government agencies, neither of them realizing the other is working undercover.

Denzel Washington (Flight, Safe House, Training Day) stars as Robert Bobby Trench, an undercover DEA agent.

Mark Wahlberg (Con-traband, The Fighter,

Broken City) stars as Marcus Stig Stigman, an undercover Naval intel-ligence officer.

Neither knows the other is an undercover fed, when they are forced to team up to take down a narcotics syndicate.

The elaborate scam has them investigating one another in the belief they are both crooks stealing money from the mob.

They begin by robbing the bank where the cartel is apparently keeping millions and are supposed to steal $3 million in cash belonging to Mexican drug lord Papi Greco, por-trayed by Edward James Olmos (The Green Hornet).

However, the two get away with a lot more loot and soon are wanted by not just the mob but also by the military and the CIA.

Both of them have been set up and now must clear their names.

Bill Paxton (Haywire)

costars as Earl, one mys-terious, and vicious, loose cannon who is in hot pur-suit of the two lawmen to get the mobs money back.

Also starring are James Marsden (Bach-elorette) as Quince, Stigmans crooked Navy commander, Paula Pat-ton (Mission Impos-sible: Ghost Protocal) as Deb, Bobbys estranged

ex and fellow DEA agent, and Fred Ward (Armored) as Adm. Tuwey.

Icelandic director Baltasar Kormakur (Contraband) reteams with Wahlberg for this all-star thriller based on the graphic novel series written by Steven Grant.

Washington and Wahl-berg have great and easy chemistry and are very likeable and funny as a pair of rival government agents working under-cover in a huge drug ring operation.

2 Guns is a nitty

gritty, action crime caper with many twists and turns.

The complicated and often hilarious film has great wit and lots of ten-sion, made even more special by the talented cast.

This is an exciting gem of a movie which comes as a big surprise as the summer winds down with its endless and lame comic book blockbusters.

Photo by Cpl. Charlie ClarkRetired Sgt. Maj. Marion P. Carcirieri, manager at the Marine Mart aboard Camp Geiger, stands in front of a photograph of himself during the Vietnam War in the Marine Mart staff offi ce, Aug. 5. Carcirieri fought at the Battle of Okinawa, in the Korean War and in the Vietnam War during his 31-year Marine Corps career.

Carcirieri devotes 68 years of service to Marine CorpsCPL. CHARLIE CLARKMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

The dirt roads and farm lands of Great Depression era Havre de Grace, Md., where retired Sgt. Maj. Marion P. Carcirieri grew

up are a far cry from the bustling busi-ness of the Marine Mart aboard Camp Geiger where he is now manager.

Born Dec. 31, 1925, Carcirieri, or Mister Cass as his coworkers have come to call him, lived in arguably the hardest time in Americas history.

I grew up on an old dirt farm. Poor peo-ple in them days during the Depression,

Carcirieri said sternly. There was no radio, no lights, nothing, with just a little bit of food. You had to work for a living in those days, even as a boy. I plowed the fields on the farm while I followed the mule, planted tomatoes, picked corn and did pretty much anything to stay alive.

It was a hard life, he added.Throughout his adolescence, Car-

cirieri had a single burning desire: to become a United States Marine. When America entered World War II, he knew this was his chance to change from a poor farmer to a hard charging devil dog.

I cant even explain it, ever since I was born I wanted to be a Marine,

Carcirieri remembered. I dont know where that came from because we didnt have electricity, radios or TV in those days ... ever since I can remember, I wanted to be a Marine.

Carcirieri wasnt of legal age to enlist, but it didnt stop him from joining his brother and cousin who both signed up a few years before him.

I didnt exactly tell the truth about my age when I joined the Marine Corps, Carcirieri chuckled. I was a very young man at that time, and I wanted to join. I told my recruiter I was 17, but I really dont remember how old I was when I joined. I can say I was younger than 17.

The lines of his face, seemingly formed from the pages of history itself, shaped an arch as Carcirieri smiled while remembering his boot camp experience.

I went to Parris Island and one of my cousins was a drill instructor down there at the time, Carcirieri said. I paid hell for that because my drill instructors found out who I was and that was bad. But, it was all fun, and I came out of it as a better person.

After achieving his childhood dream, Carcirieri became an infantryman with 6th Marine Division during WWII.
