Musser and other Marines with the regi- ment organize the requests into load plans for convoys. “You can kind of think of it like we’re UPS, and they put in an order,” said Musser. “We break it down by location, what it is, who the receiving unit is, and that’s our load plan.” Logistics planners also take into account the urgency of re- quests and special considerations such as terrain or vehicle require- ments.

In that time, Musser and his Marines coordinate with re- questing units and the Marines responsible for transporting the materiel. “We look at the big picture,” said Musser. “We don’t tell them what vehicles to use, but we do give recommendations.

    The nitty-gritty front end of combat logistics in Helmand province has Marines with Com-bat Logistics Regiment 2, Re-gional Command (Southwest), pushing through unforgiving des-ert landscapes.

    Its a daily grind that requires service members to endure in-tense heat, arduous work hours and the constant possibility of en-emy attack. Convoys can stretch for more than a mile. Vehicles break down, and plans change. Its complicated, yet also simple.

    When it comes down to it, its about getting stuff from point A to point B, but the devil is in the details, said Capt. Eric Musser, a transportation officer with CLR-2. You really have to pay attention to what youre doing.

    The process starts with requests from units in the field. Musser and other Marines with the regi-ment organize the requests into load plans for convoys.

    You can kind of think of it like were UPS, and they put

    in an order, said Musser. We break it down by location, what it is, who the receiving unit is, and thats our load plan.

    Logistics planners also take into account the urgency of re-quests and special considerations such as terrain or vehicle require-ments. Requests preferably come in 10 days prior to the actual convoy. In that time, Musser and his Marines coordinate with re-questing units and the Marines responsible for transporting the materiel.

    We look at the big picture, said Musser. We dont tell them what vehicles to use, but we do give recommendations. Its up to the (transportation Marines) to determine how they complete the mission. We just make sure they have the assets ahead of time.

    Each convoy has limited space for supplies. Whether its the ba-sic food, water and fuel needed by all Marine units, or a request for additional rockets, Musser helps coordinate the most efficient way to plan each convoys load.

    Every Marine at the ground level must know what items to drop off and what items to pick

    up. Each driver needs to under-stand their destination, cargo re-quirements and end state.

    Some convoys support various installations at the same time. Any mistake would leave a gap in the overall load plan.

    Theres two phases to any convoy fronthaul and backhaul, said Musser. (We) break it

    down into a spread sheet for each item with a point of contact, the unit and any special instructions. Its broken down into the basics so they can just look at it and know what needs to be picked up and how many truck spaces are required.

    PFC. JOSE MENDEZ JR.2nd Marine Division

    Marines with 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Di-vision, conducted annual gunnery qualification train-ing Sept. 3 through 6, at training range SR-7 aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

    Recently, the battalion was tasked to fill a light in-fantry role in Afghanistan. The unit is now training to return to its original pur-pose of quick, highly mo-bile reconnaissance.

    The battalion was orig-inally planned to deploy to Afghanistan as a light infantry capability, so we were concentrating on do-ing that kind of mission for a while, said Lt. Col. Pat-rick J. Keane III, the battal-ion commander. This got us away from what the bat-talion does for a living as a light armored recon unit.

    The first thing the bat-talion did to start getting back to its roots was to be-gin qualifying with LAV-25 (light armored vehicle) fir-

    ing M-240B machine guns and M-242 bushmaster 25mm cannon.

    After we found out about two months ago that we were not going to conduct the Afghanistan deployment, we went right back to getting on the ve-hicles and conducting our gunnery training, Keane said.

    Before the Marines are allowed to re-qualify they have to go through multiple levels of training.

    They do a series of required classes and once they have conducted all the classes they do LAV-25 Gunnery skills test, said Gunnery Sgt. Travis W. Jaakkola, the battalion master gunner. As well as the (advanced gunnery training system), which is a simulator for the LAV-25.

    Once the classes, test and the AGTS are com-pleted, the Marines can conduct their annual qualification.

    Then they will come out here and conduct tables III, IV, V and VI, Jaakkola said.

    Each table in the quali-fication serves a different purpose for the training.

    Table three and four are basically a work up, they are crew practice ses-sions, Jaakkola said. Ta-ble five is pre-qualification. Table six is qualification.

    Each LAV crew goes down one at a time to en-gage targets.

    To qualify, they have to pass a certain amount of engagements. Jaakkola said. There are 10 engage-ments, and they have to pass seven.

    Since the deployment to Afghanistan has been canceled, crews have been qualifying and working to get back in the LAV state of mind.

    This has culminated over the last month and a half where all the com-panies have gone out and qualified and done extremely well, Keane said. Thats a testimony to the competency of our Marines and a testimony to the competency of our crews.

    Annual gunnery train-

    ing isnt the only thing the battalion is conducting to get back to what the battal-ion does on a regular basis.

    While we are doing this gunnery, weve also got scouts conducting

    Mountain Warfare Train-ing in Bridgeport, Calif., the mortarmen and anti-tank missilemen are con-ducting sustainment train-ing, the Black Knights of Company B are in the

    (Integrated Training Ex-ercise) and Company A along with Headquarters and Support Battalion are deployed with (Black Sea Rotational Force), added Keane.

    CPL. PAUL PETERSON2nd Marine Logistics Group

    By Marine Corps stan-dards, one M a r i n e s rise through

    the ranks has been nothing short of meteoric.

    In less than four years Staff Sgt. Zane Moorman pinned on the rank of ser-geant, accomplishing what takes many Marines twice as long to do. After de-ploying to Afghanistan for a second time, his seniors saw exemplary leadership potential in him, and he earned a combat meritori-ous promotion to the rank of staff sergeant less than five years after joining the military.

    Now the regimental radio chief for Combat Logistics Regiment 2, Re-gional Command (South-west), Moorman recently rededicated himself to his Marines and the Marine Corps when he re-enlisted during his third deploy-ment to Afghanistan in September.

    Its been less than eight years since he first donned the uniform.

    Its a great honor to know I have the opportu-nity to serve another four years, to lead and guide the future of the Marine Corps, said Moorman af-ter his re-enlistment. As a man, without the uniform on, I dont need to be in the Marine Corps. I could be successful outside the military, but I want to be here to help contribute to our success in the future as the best fighting organiza-tion in the world.

    Moorman said every day is an opportunity. The chance to serve is not a duty, but a gift.

    What I expect of my-self, I put into my Marines, he said. I always go back to the (principle) know yourself and seek self-im-provement. We wake up every day and say, Were here, its a good day. Life is good. But what can we do to make things better for ourselves, our Marines and the Marine Corps? Thats how I go about it, not set-tling for anything less.

    His zeal for leadership and tradition are not new. Moorman received numer-ous accolades throughout his career. He earned the Gung-Ho award upon completion of the Martial Arts Instructor Course in 2007 and later took the Honor Graduate and Leadership award for his performance at the Marine Corps notoriously-tough Drill Instructor School.

    Moorman served two years as a drill instructor at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C., where his own military career began. Despite the exhausting work pace in the training environment, where 130-hour work weeks are the norm, Moor-man personally loved the experience of nurturing and hardening the next generation of Marines.

    The feeling of tak-ing civilians, molding and shaping them into the fu-ture of the Marine Corps, was amazing, he said. They come in civilians, and we teach them every-thing they know about the Marine Corps. Its an awe-some feeling and an honor

    to be able to do that. Moorman bore witness

    to his recruits transforma-tion while remembering what it meant to him when he first joined the military. For all of his success and sacrifice, he said the origin of his own love for Ma-rines, Corps and tradition came from his early days in the military.

    They were definitely passed down to me, re-

    called Moorman. The second time I went to Parris Island, when I was a drill instructor, did not change me. It did not make me into a keeper of traditions. I was like that since day one. My drill in-structors instilled that in me, and Ive been like that ever since.

    Known for his firm demeanor and love for physical training, Moor-

    man took his experiences at Parris Island with him when he joined his current unit for what will likely be his final deployment to Afghanistan.

    What I expect of my-self, I put into my Ma-rines, said Moorman. I dont expect them to do anything I dont do or have not already done. Every day I hope I make a difference in my subor-

    dinates, leaders and peers lives. Thats why I stick around.

    He said experience has taught him how to work with people, pick his bat-tles, and when to be firm. Its also taught him hard work pays off.

    Firing more than 1,700 pounds of explosives into a mine field the assault breaching vehicle is one of the best tools the Ma-

    rine Corps has to clear paths for tanks and other vehicles through dangerous ground.

    Second Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, was visited by a team from Anniston Army Depot which traveled to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to upgrade the units ABVs during August and September as part of a Marine Corps initiative to strengthen this vital piece of equipment.

    Built like an M1A1 Abrams tank, with the main gun removed and a large plow installed in the front, these essential ve-hicles require many hours of mainte-nance and repair due to the large amount of wear and tear they endure.

    The ABVs body frames are being up-graded to the specifications of an M1A2 Abrams tank body, improving the sus-pension and shock absorbers of the ve-hicle, making it a much smoother ride for the crews inside.

    The original suspension was not intended to handle the front-end equip-ment the (ABV) operates with, said Staff Sgt. Derek Desensi, a tank mechan-ic with Mobility Assault Company, 2nd CEB. The A2 suspension is designed to handle the equipment, which means more durability and less component fail-ure while operating.

    A Blue Force Tracker was also in-stalled in the ABVs to give the crews the ability to track friendly forces in the sur-rounding area, a feature the older ABVs lacked.

    Brackets have been welded into the vehicles to carry a Blue Force Tracker, Desensi said. This means we have cur-rent operability on the battlefield with communications, as much of our other systems in the Marine Corps already have this.

    These upgrades are sure to increase the efficiency of the vehicles, reducing ABV failure and making them more reliable.

    Equipping the vehicles with the neces-sary upgrades is not an easy process, as Marines with 2nd CEB have been at it for the last five weeks, with another two weeks before they are completed.

    The hardest part is the manual work that goes into the suspension, Desensi said. There are some very heavy com-ponents involved. The civilians who came down to install them have special equipment which makes the job a little easier, so that helps quite a bit.

    There are 16 total upgrades the ABVs are being equipped with, but the Marines agree the improvement of suspension is the most important. They had a lot of hands-on experience working with the civilians to break down the vehicles and see how the mechanics of it all worked, according to Desensi.

    After the Marines wrap up the work on the ABVs, they are planning to use them in the field soon to gauge the ef-fectiveness of the upgrades.

    CPL. PAUL PETERSON2nd Marine Logistics Group

    The tip of his nose peeled slightly, and his lips chapped from a prolonged stint in the gun turret. Even the thick canopy over his head of-fered limited protection from hours beneath the Afghan sun in August.

    Lance Cpl. Dustin Dodd, a turret gunner with Com-bat Logistics Regiment 2, Regional Command (South-west), didnt seem to notice.

    He genuinely enjoyed his long hours bouncing be-tween the armored walls of the turret during a three-day trek through baked desert between Camp Leatherneck and Now Zad in northern Helmand province.

    Its hard after hours and hours, but you get used to it, said Dodd with a smile. Being up there on the gun and rolling with the convoy is an amazing feeling. I love doing it. Its my favorite posi-tion in the whole truck.

    Dodd volunteered for the job months before he de-ployed to Afghanistan. He wanted the responsibility and felt he could contribute to the safety of his team.

    Were a family, said Dodd, who regularly mans the turret for more than eight hours at a time. Be-ing close adds to it. As the driver or the gunner, that one thing you miss could be that mistake.

    Dodd is the key to pro-tecting his crew from impro-vised explosive devices and other potential threats. His perch in the turret offers the best view of surrounding ter-rain. Still, it is impossible to see everything.

    Not long ago, his vehicle was damaged by an IED during a routine patrol. His team escaped unscathed, but it was a potent reminder threats are real.

    Dodd serves as his teams eyes and ears against further attacks. Its a taxing respon-

    sibility as missions stretch from hours into days.

    A constant blast of sand and exhaust fumes engulfed the turret while he scanned the route to Now Zad and called down to the crew below. Just staying awake while standing becomes a challenge, he admitted.

    You stay vigilant the whole time, said Dodd. Youre always looking for things because anything could be out there.

    This trip was no differ-ent. Only a few hours from their destination, the convoy rolled to a stop. The lead element discovered an IED in the road and prepared to neutralize the device.

    Dodd hunkered down behind his armored walls to wait in relative safety. Sometimes the convoy halts for extended periods of time, leaving him exposed to the dry air and sun. He survives off of the occa-sional bottle of water or a handful of candy passed

    from inside the vehicle.Its definitely a team ef-

    fort, said Lance Cpl. Mor-gan Almazan, the driver of the teams vehicle, Col. Dodd is like a brother to me. Once you get comfortable in a truck, moving out is like the worst thing that can happen to you. You feel that bond, and you spend so much time together its impossible not to know them like family.

    While halted, an ex-plosion erupted in the distance, too far away to be the IED. Somewhere in the distance another convoy of Marines waged their own fight and called in airstrikes on confirmed enemy positions.

    A few minutes later, a

    controlled blast by an ex-plosive ordnance disposal team kicked debris up from the road. Freed of the dan-ger, the convoy resumed its bumpy path toward Now Zad.

    Somehow, Dodd man-aged to laugh and joke as the truck bucked over bro-ken terrain and through once foreign village streets. A body harness anchored him to the floor to combat the worst jolts from the bouncing vehicle.

    Its all part of the ride for Dodd.

    I wouldnt want to be in any other truck, he said. We complete the picture, and we do every-thing we can.

    The Naval Criminal In-vestigative Service recently reached a milestone, com-pleting their 50th conviction of an employee committing Federal Employees Com-pensation Act fraud aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Aug. 1.

    The United States Depart-ment of Labor gives federal employees access to com-

    pensation benefits, which in-cludes wage-loss benefits for disability, medical benefits, monetary benefits and voca-tional rehabilitation benefits.

    Marine Corps investiga-tors and NCIS are working to expel FECA fraud, which involves falsifying statements to receive federal workers compensation benefits and is punishable under Title 18 U.S.C. Section 1920.

    In 1999, the command-ing officer of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point took an aggressive course

    of action to combat FECA fraud. A proposal was made to NCIS to hire full-time Marine Corps criminal in-vestigators and assign them to NCIS and dedicate them to investigating and combat-ing FECA fraud with felony offense investigations.

    The Department of Labor pays out $3 billion a year for federal employees workers compensation. Of that fig-ure, the Marine Corps pays $15 million annually in work-ers compensation, and $4 million of the Marine Corps

    workers compensation bill is paid by Camp Lejeune.

    When you provide false information for workers compensation, youre com-mitting a federal offense, said Dana Steele, supervisory investigator with NCIS.

    When a federal employ-ee is convicted of providing false information and violat-ing FECA regulations, they lose all benefits permanent-ly. The convicted person is also subject to confinement and fines, the unlawful prof-it and must repay back to

    the government. Most investigators and

    agents are based at MCAS Cherry Point, along with a few other agents based throughout the East Coast, but they are responsible for investigating all FECA vio-lations for Marine Corps In-stallations East.

    Three primary factors make this program so success-ful, said Thomas M. Smith, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of NCIS. Hiring the right people, giving unwaver-ing support to our agents and

    those involved, and a cradle to the grave investigative ap-proach. Our agents are deter-mined from the beginning to the end of an investigation to convict the employee com-mitting fraud.

    Since the programs incep-tion, the FECA fraud unit has recorded an annual cost avoid-ance of more than $1.3 mil-lion, and a future cost avoid-ance of over $49 million.

    To submit an anony-mous tip, text NCIS and detailed tip information to 274637 (CRIMES).

    The military suicide rate has increased dramatically over the last several years, and a Vietnam veteran is walking across country to raise awareness for suicide prevention.

    According to a recent Department of Defense preliminary report, more than 349 service members across the four branches died by suicide during 2012, setting a record for the highest rate of military suicides ever. Since 2005, more active-duty service members were lost to sui-cide than combat.

    Chuck Lewis, a former sergeant and now Walk-ing for the Fallen founder, is walking from Everett, Wash., to the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C., to remember those who have fallen in combat and through suicide.

    Five years ago, my wife and I were sitting home on Christmas Eve, said Lew-is. And I realized none of our six children will be home for the holiday, they were busy with schooling and jobs. I remembered what it was like being away during those holidays.

    Lewis later stood in uni-form on the corner of an intersection of his home-town to show his dedica-tion to the families who wouldnt be together for the holiday.

    Before starting the walk, Lewis stood in his home-town of Rowan, Mont., on Christmas Day with a sign stating Standing here today in respect of those away. News channels and local media approached Lewis and interviewed him to learn about his journey.

    Lewis was later invited to stand at military ap-preciation events and gun shows. He used Vietnam-era equipment to raise awareness, give knowledge about past wars and invite people to donate money for wounded and disabled veterans.

    While doing this, I met a Marine who had just got home from Afghanistan, said Lewis. He lost his legs at the hips, and nobody knew he was home until they called for an honor guard, and I folded the flag for his funeral when he died by suicide.

    Lewis still follows the Marine Corps leadership traits and leads by example, nearly 40 years after leaving the Corps.

    Lewis is doing an amazing thing, said Bo Pennock, retired captain. Hes a strong man, and hes still serving our coun-try in a special way.

    Walking for the Fallen is more than just a walk, its a cross country journey for those Marines, sailors, sol-diers and airmen who have lost their lives to suicide and combat, said Lewis.

    TRANSITION FROM 1A The Marines compare the

    amount and type of equip-ment heading out from Camp Leatherneck with the space needed to transport material back to the base. They ensure the necessary vehicles are at-tached to each convoy to han-dle the request, terrain and self-recover any vehicle with mechanical issues.

    Its constantly being flex-ible, said Musser. We run a lot of the same routes, so we know what were capable of and what were not. Its the curve balls.

    CLR-2 bears the brunt for transportation operations in the area and supports multiple Marine infantry and support units, special forces groups and even elements of the Army.

    The unit treats larger bases in the province as logistics hubs, which can then support smaller outposts nearby to maximize outreach.

    Transition and consoli-dation efforts in Helmand province put the regiment in a vitally important position. Marine units throughout the area track their goals for a week, month and even a year to maintain a smooth, mutu-ally supportive effort.

    Each bases assets need to be accounted for and mea-sured for eventual transition, consolidation and retrograde.

    We are the sole provid-ers for that retrograde, said Musser. Weve also taken a bigger role in the planning ef-forts. Everyone is looking to us for how we are going to do this, and how we can support units until the day the last boots are off the ground.

    Its a daunting undertak-ing to be sure, but its also a feat of preparation and execution.

    Its just like any planning you do, said Musser. You nurture it, then you kind of give it away and see it blos-som and executed. Its inter-esting because youre directly involved in seeing all the moving parts and knowing, Im responsible for that. Its what we do, but its interest-ing to step out of that bubble and see everything moving.

    PFC. JOSE A. MENDEZ JR.2nd Marine Division

    For the first time in 2nd Tank Battal-ion, 2nd Marine Division history, a female field grade

    officer is filling a combat arms billet.

    After her promotion from lieu-tenant to lieutenant commander, Shannon Stout officially became the first female in 2nd Tanks to complete this feat recently. She holds the billet of battalion medi-cal officer, better known to some as the battalion surgeon.

    Its exciting to be the first fe-male medical (field grade) officer with 2nd Tank Battalion, and I am honored to be holding the plank with some other outstanding fe-male Marines and sailors that were also part of the women in combat integration, Stout said.

    Stout began this unique jour-ney more than a decade ago while attending the University of North

    Carolina Wilmington in 2000. Stout was enrolled in a medical school preparatory class when she met a female Navy corpsman.

    We were on a sailboat during sailing class and she was telling me about the amazing opportuni-ties in traveling and the amazing things she had done in the Navy, Stout said. So I decided as a trav-el-happy person that the Navy will be a great marriage of both want-ing to do medicine and also being able to be in a service role.

    Hearing about the opportuni-ties the Navy could provide her was just one of the strong reasons she had the desire to join.

    While applying to medical school, Stout found her second reason to join the Navy.

    While Stout was applying to medical school the World Trade Center was attacked, which made her decision to join the Navy a whole lot easier.

    Stout stayed in medical school and continued on to graduate three months after Sept. 11, 2001.

    Stout felt a strong desire to help and couldnt seem to get away from it, so she applied and was accepted into the Uniformed Ser-vices University in Bethesda, Md. in 2002.

    In June of 2003 is when I commissioned as an Ensign. From there I was in medical school in Bethesda for four years. Upon graduation in May of 2007 I was commissioned again as a Lieuten-ant, Stout said.

    Stout has been with 2nd Tank Bn. for more than one year as the battalion surgeon and really enjoys being with the unit.

    It is the most fun, the most rewarding and the most frustrat-ing thing I have ever done, Stout said, as she shook her head and chuckled.

    With Stouts experience from working in 2nd Tank Bn., she hopes to mentor female medical officers as they continue to join the ground combat element ranks.

    They have brought a couple of female medical officers to divi-

    sion so, I am no longer the only one, Im able to help mentor, guide them and help them under-stand just some of the things Ive gone through, the growing pains, because I know where they are coming from their first months here being a Navy physician, Stout said.

    Although Stout has not been deployed yet, she hopes to ulti-mately work for disaster relief and humanitarian missions.

    Another reason I joined the Navy was because of the unique capability of the Navy and Marine Corps team to provide necessary and timely support in crisis.

    Stout is proud to be the first fe-male field grade officer with 2nd Tanks, but she still holds true to her belief in serving the Marines and sailors.

    Its an honor to be the first field grade officer, Stout added. But I still very much see my role as being in support of the warf-ighters and in support of 2nd Tank Battalion.

    Wounded Warriors are volunteers. They vol-unteered their lives and made unimaginable sacrifices for this country,

    and they were left with life-long injuries.Hope for the Warriors teamed up with

    over a dozen celebrities to honor service members wounded in combat for an event at River Landing Golf Course in Wallace, N.C., Monday.

    The celebrities and wounded service members formed teams and spent the en-tire day on the links.

    For former MLB catcher, Johnny Bench, his time is a small sacrifice in comparison to the sacrifices of the men and women who put their lives on the line for the free-dom of their country.

    There are service members whose time at war is the reason they are double or triple amputees but all they can talk about is going back, said Bench.

    Thats a love of the country, he added. Since its start in 2006, Hope for the

    Warriors has focused on making transitions smoother for wounded service members, and Bench believes thats what the public can do to help.

    The Hope for the Warriors organization and staff gives the support needed for these wounded warriors to get back to living life, he added.

    Anne Barnwell, public relations direc-tor for Hope for the Warriors, was also on the course pursuing her passion for helping wounded warriors in need.

    I wake up every day with a purpose I love what I do, said Barnwell.

    Its not about the golf today, said a River Landing Golf Course employee.

    While celebrities and wounded war-riors enjoyed the day on the links, it was apparent no one gave much care to birdies or hole-in-ones. This day was about giving back to the men and women who earned it.

    If anyone can say, I earned the right to have a good life, its these men and women, said Bench.

    With fall on our doorstep and the third mullet blow in full swing, we should see plenty of predatory fish, but not all species are biting.

    Flounder fishing was slow and small in the surf this weekend, but the fish were plentiful within two to three miles off the beach around reefs, ledges and wrecks, including AR 315 and 320. The flounder bite also heated up inside with piers and docks reeling in big fish on live finger mullet.

    The Morehead City Port wall anglers reeled in the hottest bite, with finger mullet swimming through the port and along the wall and Chasin Tails landed flounder weighing up to seven-pounds.

    In addition, the port wall fisher-men added slot puppy drum, short cobia and grey trout to their list of weekend catches.

    Good catches of speckled and grey trout were reported at the

    Atlantic Beach Causeway Bridge in the evening, as well as in the Haystacks, Core Creek and North River. If in search of trout, Middle Marshes may also be a spot to try to bait your line with live mul-let, Gulp! baits and live shrimp. All of these locations also harbor good amounts of puppy drum and flounder.

    The trout and drum catches are also plentiful in the marshes of Emerald Isle and Swansboro, along with the White Oak River.

    The drum bite is just as out-standing as last season in the Neuse and Pamlico Basin.

    The difference for this season is the bait is moving artificial with soft plastics on a popping cork and a fly rig with a foam popping cork, instead of the usual mullet or menhaden on Owen Lupton circle hook rigs.

    The traditional bait still brings the bite, but the artificial plastics are experiencing more action than years past.

    Offshore anglers have brought in bountiful wahoo, many weigh-ing over 60-pounds. The fishermen also report billfish and sailfish offshore, and the hot spots include the Big Rock, south to Swansboro Hole and out to the Rise.

    Many fishermen have experi-enced good luck, but anglers in the surf havent fared well. The bait is plentiful but not many species are feasting, apart from the bluefish and sharks.

    While the paucity of keeper flounder and red drum in the surf is also surprising, we should begin to see catches of speckled trout

    and Spanish mackerel from the beach.

    Anglers have also suffered with landing king mackerel along the beach but the main concentration of these fish is reportedly on the east side of the Lookout Shoals.

    Pier fishing has joined the surf in slow fishing, but hopes are high for a turnaround with the large amounts of shark in the water.

    Oceanana Pier reported week-end catches of Spanish mackerel, flounder, blues, trout and red drum.

    Bogue Pier reported heaps of small flounder and I saw catches of five keeper flounder brought in on Gulp! and live baits, Monday morning.

    The pier also added Span-ish mackerel, ladyfish, blues and spots, along with sea mullet catches on the rising evening tide.

    Seaview Pier fishermen landed Spanish mackerel, blues, flounder, spots, croaker and sea mullet last weekend, while Surf City Pier fared the same and added a few shark catches to their report. Surf City also weighed in an 85-pound tarpon.

    Jolly Roger Pier also reported sharks as well as Spanish macker-el, blues and flounder, with spots, mullet and black drum biting the bait at night.

    While the piers experienced some weekend action, all were disappointed when anglers didnt reel in the king mackerel.

    The main exchange aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune cel-ebrated 116 years of ex-change services through a freestyle motocross event, Friday.

    Motocross stars Kenny Bell, Jeff Griffin and Dustin Miller rode their machines to great heights, showing support for the Marine Corps while pro-moting safe riding.

    The three riders per-formed back flips, seat grabs and many other tricks while jumping over their tour bus in the exchange parking lot.

    This is one of the more special events we do, said Dustin Miller, freestyle motocross rider. People show apprecia-tion for the event, and we show appreciation for what they do every day.

    Its best to learn how to ride safely on a local

    motocross track, Miller added.

    Getting a feel for the difference in pavement and dirt is important, as well as always wearing proper pro-tective equipment, he said.

    I always had a fascina-tion with dirt bikes, so it was awesome to come out and watch the motocross tricks, said Sgt. Bradley Marincil, a diesel mechan-ic with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit.

    Marincil said he encourages his junior Marines to wear proper protective equipment and avoid bad decisions to en-sure safety while riding.

    Kaneko Davis, visual merchandise supervisor with the Marine Corps Exchange on Camp Lejeune, said the event was hosted to thank the customers for everything they do.

    Exchange services operate more than 3,100 locations worldwide to facilitate the needs of all U.S. military branches.

    We expected around

    500 patrons to be at the event, said Davis. We greatly surpassed that and filled the stands for each jump session.

    Catherine Brugge-man, manager of main exchange stores on Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River, said the store took full advantage of the event to promote motor-cycle safety.

    They werent just a booth at the event, said Bruggeman. The an-nouncers were passionate about safety and promot-ed Base Safety at every opportunity.

    Base Safety offers a variety of motorcycle safety courses including the 20-hour basic riders course and the eight-hour experienced course.

    For more information on riding and motorcycle safety courses offered aboard Camp Lejeune, visit www.mccslejeune.com/motorcyclesafety or call 451-5903.

    LANCE CPL. JUSTIN A. RODRIGUEZMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

    The Lejeune High School varsity football team utilized their ground game and ran circles around the Rosewood High School Eagles, claim-ing a 42-12 victory aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Sept. 13.

    Senior Jamaz Rich-ardson, the Devilpups running back, scored four touchdowns with a total of 173 rushing yards.

    During the first quarter, Lejeune rushed through Rosewood for two touch-downs, setting the pace for the game.

    Everyone did their

    job, said Richardson. During the game, I let my blockers pave the way, and I executed on the play.

    During the second quarter, the Eagles fought back and scored two touchdowns early on, but eventually gave up four touchdowns to the Devilpups.

    With hopes of closing the gap, Rosewood started passing the ball. Their plan was foiled when Lejeunes defense inter-cepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown.

    We worked hard all week during practice and came out with great discipline, said Darryl Schwartz, Lejeune Devil Pups coach. Thats why we won this game.

    The Devilpups scored one more touchdown in the third quarter and ended the game with 42 points, while Rosewood came up short with only 12 points on the board.

    Each athlete played an important role throughout the game, said Schwartz. They did their job and executed plays, he added.

    The Rosewood run-down advanced Lejeune to a 3-1 season record. The Devilpups are slated for a 7 p.m. game against Dixon High School in Holly Ridge, tomorrow.

    Lejeune boys soccer defeats Pender, 5-1LANCE CPL. JACKELINE M. PEREZ RIVERAMarine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

    Made with less than 20 seconds on the clock, Lejeune High School junior Timmy Vaughns game-winning goal hammered the final nail in Pender High Schools coffin.

    The goal gave the Leje-une Devilpup boys varsity soccer team a 5-1 victory

    over the Pender Patriots aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Sept. 12.

    It was pretty intense the first half, said Vaughan. In the second half, we really came together and stepped it up.

    During the closely-matched first half, the Dev-ilpups put up only one point against their competition. The teams stayed neck-and-neck with each bold attempt to score denied by the op-

    posing goalie. Pender hit quickly in the

    second half, scoring within a minute. They maintained momentum with another attempt at a goal, but lost their drive after a block by the Devilpup goalie.

    When the game was tied, our team came out and showed how much they wanted it, said George Schumacher, Lejeunes varsity soccer coach.

    In the final 20 minutes, the Devilpups stepped up and executed quick, asser-tive plays

    They were aggressive, said Maj. Doug Cunning-ham, an electronics main-tenance officer with 2nd Marine Division and Devil-pup parent. They never let down. They pushed forward and kept the other team on their heels.

    Cunningham credited the win to the way Schu-machers assertive coaching style appeals to the youth.

    Donna Stenberg, a Devilpup fan and parent, also believes Schumachers coaching is a strong motiva-tion for the players.

    They have a great coach, said Stenberg. They keep getting better and are coming together as a team.

    With each new game, the players learn from the last, she added.

    Its the best I have seen them play in two years, said Cunningham.

    The game was the sev-enth of the season and the teams second win, which broke a small string of ties and brought their season record to 2-2-3.

The organization encourages everyone to wear their favorite shades of pink, including personnel from local fi re and police departments, to show the survivors they are not alone in their fi ght.

    Pink isnt for wimps its for warriors.

    Ladies throughout Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Onslow County communities learned they arent alone in their fight against cancer as the Pink Heals Tour rolled into Jacksonville, N.C., for the first time, Tuesday.

    This is not just an awareness campaign, said Dave Graybill, Pink Heals founder. This program is used to rally people together to cel-ebrate people, starting with all women. This is a love-base program. We value the person, not the disease.

    There was no subtlety when it came to showing their support the tour took over the New River Shopping Center with fire trucks and police cars painted in bright shades of pink. Covered in thou-sands of autographs, cancer survivors and those who are currently battling the disease added their names and the names of loved ones onto the vehicles.

    These women are not nameless faces. They are mothers, wives, sisters, aunts and friends, noted Susanna Williams, division chief of training with Jacksonville Fire Depart-ment.

    Personnel from the local police and fire depart-ments teamed up with the organization and donned uniforms in various blushing hues.

    (Cancer) is so devastating, commented Police Chief Mike Yaniero, Director of Public Safety, City of Jacksonville. No one is immune. Events like this are the right thing to do, and we want people to know were standing with them.

    Graybill made sure the Pink Heals Tour set itself apart from other similar organizations when he founded it in 2007.

    We give our program away at no cost, he explained. When a town adopts the program and starts a chapter, all the money they raise stays here locally and is distributed to

    YOURE NEXT (R)Youre Next is a

    horror thriller about a home invasion.

    When a gang of masked, ax-wielding mur-derers descend upon the Davidson family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped, until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.

    Rob Moran (Hall Pass) and Barbara Crampton (The Neigh-bors Wife) play Paul and Aubrey Davidson, a rich couple who are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary at their remote and isolated mansion.

    The couple invites their four grown-up chil-dren and their significant others to share in the celebration and soon the party gets underway.

    At the dinner table, old sibling rivalries start to surface and preference of the parents become apparent.

    As the tension mounts among the bickering family, a group of savage invaders wearing animal masks invade the house and nobody is safe.

    Sharni Vinson (Step Up 3D) stars as Erin, a house guest at the family reunion, who is harbor-ing a secret.

    AJ Bowen (Among Friends) co-stars as Crispin, Erins boyfriend.

    Also at the party are Crispins little sister Aimee, portrayed by Amy Seimetz (Possession),

    and their brothers Felix, played by Nicholas Tucci (Undocumented), and Drake, played by Joe Swanberg (The Zone). Lets not forget Felixs love Zee, a strange Goth girl, portrayed by Wendy Glenn (Waking Madison).

    Director Adam Wingard (A Horrible Way to Die, What Fun We Were Having) collaborated again with screenwriter Simon Bar-rett to bring this horror yarn to the screen. The low-budget B-movie had its premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.

    Youre Next is a nasty and terrify-ing slasher film, which reinvents the genre by putting a fresh twist and terror on a home-inva-sion nightmare.

    THE WORLDS END (R) The Worlds End is a British apocalyptic comedy about five life-long friends who reunite after some time in their hometown only to dis-cover their town has been invaded by interstellar beings.

    This film is the third installment of the direc-tors trilogy of comedies starring Pegg and Frost, following the successes of Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007).

    Twenty years after attempting an epic pub

    crawl, five child-hood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the same drinking marathon they have tried as teenagers and failed.

    Simon Pegg (Star Trek: Into Darkness) stars as Gary King, a 40-year-old man trapped in his teens, still living in the past and who convinces his pals to stage an encore.

    He drags his reluctant friends to their hometown to reenact the best night of his life to once again attempt to reach the fabled pub, The Worlds End.

    Along the way they relive their youth, re-hash old slights and later uncover an apocalyptic conspiracy.

    As they attempt to reconcile the past and the present, they realize

    the real struggle is for the future not just theirs but humankinds.

    Reaching The Worlds End is the least of their worries.

    Nick Frost (Snow White and the Hunts-man) stars as Andy Knightley.

    Considine (The Bourne Ultimatum) as Steven Prince, Martin Free-man (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey) as Oliver Chamberlain, Eddie Marsan (Jack the Giant Slayer) as Peter Page, and Rosamund Pike (Jack Reacher) as Sam Chamberlain, Olivers sister.

    Director Edgar Wright (Scot Pilgrim vs the World, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead), who also wrote the screenplay together with Pegg, concludes his tril-ogy of comedies with this

    riotous and unconven-tional over-the-top alien invasion flick.

    If you have seen the other two films, you know what to expect from this movie.

    The Worlds End is a hilarious, wild and weird sci-fi comedy that recreates an epic pub crawl from their youth by a quintet of old school pals who all wind up both tipsy and terrorized in the end.

    Ms. Huneycutt is the public affairs assistant at the Base Public Affairs Office.

    Youre never too old to start living, and theres always something new to learn.

    Hundreds of Onslow County residents and military veterans packed the parking lot of the Onslow County Multi-purpose Complex for the seventh annual Senior Expo in Jacksonville, N.C., Saturday.

    There are several ac-tivities for young families in this community, but this is the only thing geared specifically to senior citi-zens, said Kathy Cook, the event chairman. We try to offer everything they need to know all the way from insurance to the latest scams.

    Hosted by Onslow County Senior Services, Jacksonville Parks and Recreation Department and AARP Chapter 795 members, the event boast-ed more than 70 vendors who filled the complex and were eager to answer any questions the guests threw their way.

    The vendors arent just here to sell products but rather to identify what services seniors have and need in Onslow County, explained Kurt Postreich, a local AARP member. We have the whole gauntlet of senior citizens programs.

    He also noted how many retired service

    members settle down in the area and benefit from the variety of programs.

    We have a large population of veterans so were constantly serving the military community, he said.

    Cook remembered how from the inception of the event, they had the support of the community leaders, and the expo continues to grow in popularity each year.

    Theyre asking good questions, she said of the visitors. Most people leave smarter and more informed than they were when they came in.

    One of the biggest draws of the information-rich program are the free health tests including diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure given by professionals from the county health department,

    Onslow Memorial Hospi-tal and Coastal Carolina Community College.

    Our nursing students are here doing blood pressure testing as well as dental and oral hygiene in-struction, stated Cathe-rine Cotter, dental hygiene instructor at CCCC.

    Registered pharma-cist, Melanie Burns, was on-hand to administer flu-shots from Realo Pharmacy.

    Flu is preventative, but millions of seniors die every year from it, she said. Making sure they get their flu shot will help them avoid getting sick.
