Marines and Sailors Honor Cpl. Spears

By Cpl. Demetrius Morgan 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit

5TH FLEET AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY — Marines with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and Sailors with the USS Makin Island (LHD 8) gathered on the flight deck of the Makin Island to honor the life and memory of Cpl. Jordan Spears, Oct. 8.

Spears, a Memphis, Indiana native, who was lost at sea Oct. 1 during flight operations originating from the Makin Island, was a tilt rotor crew chief with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 163 (Reinforced), 11th MEU.

The ceremony started with three of Spears’ best friends — Cpl. Rance Powell, Cpl. Jacob Sanders and Lance Cpl. Conlan Meyer — placing a rifle, aviation helmet, boots and dog tags on his memorial stand.

Following a slide show, which consisted of photos showcasing the life of Spears with his family and friends, his squadron commander addressed the crowd.

“Although Cpl. Spears cannot be with us in person, he will be with us in spirit,” said Lt. Col. Jason Holden, com-manding officer of VMM-163 (Rein), 11th MEU. “Every time an evils eye’s MV-22 takes off, he will be flying with

us, guarding us from harm. We will and we must move forward from the tragedy. However, Cpl. Spears will never be forgotten.”

To most, Spears was a fellow Marine who earned the respect and commemoration of those around him through to his strong work ethic and constant smile. To others who knew him on a more personal level, he was a partner and a friend who will forever be missed.

“One thing he was good at was making people laugh, that’s just what he did,” said Cpl. Jonathan Pointer, a crew chief with VMM-163 (Rein), 11th MEU. “He will forever be with us in spirit. We will move on not because we have to, but because he would want us to.”

Capt. Travis Gryde, a pilot with VMM-163 (Rein), 11th MEU, and Spears’ officer in charge, reminisced about his work ethic and efficiency.

“I may be biased but I believe flight line is the hardest working section in the squadron,” said Gryde. “And Spears was one of the hardest working Marines we had. I had no doubt that whatever aircraft Spears worked on would be in top condition. Sometimes Spears would have cuts and bruises all over his hands. He would put bandages and scotch

Service members augmented and deployed to Naval Support Facility Deveselu parade the colors as local officials and military leaders look on during an establishment and assumption of command ceremony. Naval Support Facility Deveselu, the first Navy base to be established since Naval Station Everett, which was established more than 20 years ago, will be part of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) System.

DEVESELU, Romania (NNS) — Commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia (CNREURAFSWA) established Naval Support Facility (NSF) Deveselu Friday, Oct. 10, during an establishment and assumption of com-mand ceremony on base.

NSF Deveselu, formerly a disused Romanian airfield, is the first Navy base to be established since Naval Station (NS) Everett in Washington, whose official groundbreaking ceremony was held Nov. 9, 1987.

The installation, scheduled to be operational in 2015, will be part of a NATO’s overall ballistic missile defense (BMD) system.

Rear Adm. John Scorby, commander, Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia, hosted the ceremony.

“This is a historic occasion because ballistic missile threats to the U.S. and our allies are real and growing,” Scorby said. “Fortunately, NATO’s capabilities and defens-es against these threats are also real and growing.”

Originally proposed in 2000 by then President George W. Bush, this BDM system, or shield, named the “Aegis Ashore System,” is a response by the NATO military alli-ance to increasing threats posed by the amalgamation of intercontinental ballistic missiles in the Middle East.

Today the Aegis BMD system is the key component in the Obama administration’s plan for a phased deployment of a missile defense umbrella in Europe, which is intended to protect U.S. forces and NATO allies from regional threats.

“Naval Support Facility Deveselu will be a crucial com-ponent in expanding the effectiveness of NATO’s overall ballistic missile defense system,” Scorby said. “It will also address the threat posed by short and intermediate range ballistic missiles to U.S., European and Allied personnel and assets throughout the region.”

It functions like a panic attack. It makes you want to fall asleep, hoping that when you awaken the reality of your life will be different.

The “it” of which I speak is loneli-ness. With some recent happenings in my life I have experienced all its symptoms.

Although I enjoy marvelous friends, loneliness often strikes without warning, leaving me paralyzed. Once when it hit late at night, I told myself, “You have to get to its roots and stop letting it cripple you!”. I attempted this day and conclud-ed that I must make it a priority to “realign” my memory.

In analyzing loneliness, I discovered it is strongest when I recall the days of my youth. This creates a longing to recapture all the times when I could just pick up the phone and share. with my parents the happy events or problems I was experiencing. I know that they

wouldn’t say much, but I also know their mere presence would be the com-fort I’d need.

Loneliness also hits hardest when I hear certain sounds or come upon cer-tain scents that remind me of enjoyable times in the past.

The smell of garlic and simmering tomato sauce frequently permeated our home. Often we would invite friends over and wink at each other when they asked for extra helpings of curried fish and meat.

When I think back on those days, tears come to my eyes. Mom often said that when you cry for the past, you are crying for yourself.

There is much truth in this. In one way, my loneliness is selfish because my needs aren’t being met; it’s as though I still want to be a child surrounded with friends, laughter, a happy home and car-ing parents. But it is also true that I deeply loved them. This leads me to conclude that if you love deeply, you are going to be hurt because you can’t hold onto love forever in this world.

I have come to believe that this hurt serves a good purpose. It compels us to rely more heavily on the only love that lasts, God’s love for us and the need to love God more.

I also conclude from my reflections on loneliness that fond memories must always be cherished and preserved, but they can’t be allowed to hold us hostage to the past. Rather they must encourage us to pass on to others the blessings we’ve received.

Once we realign our thinking in this manner, loneliness loses it power over us.

Classrooms are still busy after school at Bahrain Elementary School. Teachers host a variety of after school clubs to provide support and enrichment for students. The club schedule is divided into three rounds during the school year. Students submit club applications and are selected to participate. Club topics include drama, reading, science, dancing, art, cooking, music, yearbook, homework help, and more.

While some clubs last all year, others are only held for one round. Fourth grader

Aidan Haas is currently participating in Science Club and Yearbook Club. He describes them by saying, “Clubs are fun because we get to choose things that we really like to learn about. I’m making Lego robots that really move in Science Club. When I work on the yearbook I know that at the end of the year we’ll have book full of memories.” Years from now, students will remember the fun they had participating in after school clubs at Bahrain Elementary School.

BICYCLING Safety Tips

• The biggest preventable risk factor for bicycle head injury is not wearing a bicycle helmet. Helmets will protect you against 85% of all head injuries and 88% against brain injuries.

• Make sure you have lights and reflectors on your bike, whether you are using it for training, recreation, or transportation. Use lights and reflectors from dusk until dawn.

• Carry a cell phone or change for a pay phone, your ID card, and an emergency-contact card. Bright clothing or a safety vest as another good precaution.

• The primary risk factors are excessive speed, traffic, fatigue, and poor road conditions.

• Beware at intersections. Signal your turns and look out for others.

• Fatal collisions are most common in urban areas. Roads with speed limits of 55 mph or greater produce higher rates of injuries and fatalities.

• You’ll need all of your senses, especially hearing and sight. Don’t wear headphones.

• Cycle while it is daylight. • Wear comfortable, brightly colored clothing. • Wear a reflective vest from dusk until dawn. • Check your tires for nicks, cuts and wear before each ride, and

ensure the tires are inflated properly. • Make sure all the nuts, bolts and connectors are tight. • Make sure your brakes work and the cables are lubed. • Make sure the saddle is tight. • Make sure the handlebar grips are tight. • Ride with a basic tool kit, basic first-aid kit, and some money for

a phone call or a cab ride if you run into trouble. • Bring water. • Never ride off-road alone. • Stay off sidewalks. Slow-moving pedestrians are as dangerous to

you as you are to them. • When riding in the street, obey traffic signals and traffic laws. • Use hand signals when turning. • Make eye contact with drivers, pedestrians and other cyclists to

be sure they see you. • Walk your bike across crosswalks.

By MC1 John Scorza USS America (LHA 6) Public Affairs

SAN FRANCISCO (NNS) — USS America (LHA 6), the Navy’s newest and most technologically advanced amphibious assault ship, was commissioned during a formal ceremony at Pier 30/32 during San Francisco Fleet Week, Oct. 11.

More than 8,000 friends, family mem-bers and invited guests gathered in front of the ship to witness its introduction to the fleet.

During the ceremony, Adm. Harry B. Harris, commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, com-mended the crew for their performance dur-ing acceptance trials and sailing around South America. He said because conflict and crisis can arise at any time, warships like America will be needed as the nation con-ducts its strategic rebalance to the Pacific.

At the conclusion of his remarks, Harris introduced Secretary of the Navy the Honorable Ray Mabus, who spoke of the importance of having a ship named America join the fleet.

“This ship, forged in a shipyard in my home state of Mississippi, with compo-nents and systems and parts manufactured all across this great country, is a symbol of the long and historic links between the citi-zens of this country and our Navy and Marine Corps who defend them,” Mabus said. “Having a ship named the America, sailing the world’s oceans, defending free-dom and peace and helping those in need, as we have for more than two centuries, is crucial to America and to our Navy and Marine Corps.”

Following Mabus’ remarks, in a time-honored Navy tradition, Mrs. Lynne Pace, ship sponsor and wife of retired U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave the order, “Man our ship and bring her to life!”

The crew responded by saying “Aye, aye, ma’am” and began running toward the brow to man the ship as the Navy Band

Southwest played “Anchors Aweigh.” Crew members took their places, side-by-side, manning the rails as the ship’s systems came online. Radars, weapon systems, and other parts of the ship began moving to symbolize the ship “coming to life.”

After the crew manned the rails, Capt. Robert A. Hall Jr., commanding officer of USS America, stepped forward to deliver his remarks.

“To the crew of USS America, as plankowners we’ve been granted awesome responsibility and great privilege to send America out to sea on the right course,” Hall said. “You’ve worked extremely hard thus far to get her to this point, performing extraordinarily on our maiden voyage around South America. I thank you for that incredible effort, and I’ll tell you, it’s just the beginning.”

Hall said the ship is named after the greatest country on Earth and spoke of the legacy America will carry forward. “It’s only the greatest country because it values everyone’s contributions,” said Hall. “It takes every one of us doing our part, work-ing together, dedicating ourselves to pre-serving the ideals of freedom and democ-racy that make this country great.”

America is the first ship of its class and the fourth ship named “America.” The first America was originally a racing schooner launched in 1851 and served in the Navy until 1873 before returning to civilian life. In 1921, she was presented to the Navy for preservation as a relic and remained at the U.S. Naval Academy until being scrapped in 1945. The second America transported troops during World War I. The third ship to bear the name was a Kitty-Hawk class air-craft carrier, CV 66, which supported oper-ations from the Vietnam War through Operation Desert Storm.

America weighs 44,971-tons, is 844 feet in length and has an overall beam of 106 feet. It’s equipped with a fuel-efficient, hybrid electric propulsion system, the same built for USS Makin Island (LHD 8), which

is an energy initiative designed to give the ship the benefit of increased range, endur-ance, and time on station, enhancing its combat capability. It also provides greater flexibility in scheduling refueling and reduces maintenance costs.

The ship is optimized for aviation and will be capable of supporting current and future aircraft, such as the tilt-rotor MV-22

Osprey and F-35B Joint Strike Fighter. It was designed with additional aviation spac-es and provides increased aviation capacity, including an enlarged hangar deck, the realignment and expansion of aviation maintenance facilities which provide a sig-nificant increase in available stowage for parts and support equipment, and increased aviation fuel capacity.

MANAMA, Bahrain (NNS) — USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) departed Manama, Bahrain, Oct. 9.

Sailors experienced the local culture through tours sponsored by the ship’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) division. They took part in golfing at the area’s golf courses, visiting the local shopping areas, and attend-ing sports tournaments at Naval Support Activity Bahrain. Sailors also participated in a community relations project at the Bahrain Mobility Institute, where they helped clean and perform maintenance around the facilities.

“This port visit was a chance for our Sailors to relax and enjoy the hospitality of the people of Bahrain as we enter the final phases of our deployment,” said Capt. Andrew Loiselle, commanding officer of George H.W. Bush. “This visit also allowed us to help strengthen our relationship with Bahrain.”

GHWB CSG deployed Feb. 15, 2014, and is operating in the 5th Fleet area of responsibility conducting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts.

tape on cuts that probably needed stitches. Spears’ responsibilities required him to put his own life in danger on a regular basis while responding to various calls from adjacent units. ”

“The relationship between a pilot and crew chief is very unique,” added Gryde. “They put their lives in our hands, as we put our lives in theirs.”

After the playing of taps by Petty Officer First Class Richard Neal, personnel in atten-dance lined up one by one to pay their final respects to Cpl. Spears.

Although the 11th MEU and USS Makin Island will move on and be ready to answer the nation’s call where ever they are needed. Cpl. Jordan L. Spears will always be remembered.

Marines from the 11th MEU are deployed with the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group as a flexible, adaptable and persistent force in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.

The first of two proposed newly estab-lished bases, NSF Deveselu will utilize both a SM-3 missile interceptor battery platform and an Aegis SPY-1 radar platform. The U.S. government said the SM-3 missiles will have no offensive capability and only target incoming ballistic missiles launched by hostile countries.

Capt. Bill Garren assumed duties as the first commanding officer of NSF Deveselu.

“It’s an honor to be here and have the opportunity to work with this international team of dedicated professional who are building the future of ballistic missile defense in Europe,” said Garren. “We have a lot of work ahead of us but our future suc-cess rests on the shoulders of this outstand-ing United States/Romania team. So, we have all we need to excel.”

The land-based ballistic missile defense system in Romania will be almost identical to that used on Navy Aegis-capable guided-missile destroyers and cruisers. It’s designed to detect, track, engage and destroy ballistic missiles in flight.

Also contributing to the BMD system,

are the Forward Deployed Naval Forces in Rota, Spain. The forward deployed Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) and USS Ross (DDG 71) are the first of four Aegis BMD warships scheduled to be based in Spain to bolster the defense system.

To further the scope and reach of protec-tion of the region’s defense, a Navy base, nearly identical to NSF Deveselu, will be established in Poland.

“No single nation can combat global threats alone,” Scorby said. “We must col-lectively share information, share experi-ences and work together for regional stabil-ity. U.S., NATO, and European allies stand united in maintaining a Europe that is safe, secure and prosperous.”

NSF Deveselu sits on about 430 acres. The site will consist of a fire-control radar deckhouse with an associated Aegis com-mand, control and communications suite. Separately, it will house several launch modules containing SM-3 missiles and be manned by about 200 U.S. military per-sonnel, government civilians and support contractors.
