Pilots with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 312 (VMFA-312) took to the skies during a defensive counter air training mission flown with multiple squadrons across the East Coast over the Atlantic Ocean, Aug. 19. During the training VMFA-312, also known as the Checkerboards, participated in scenarios pitting their F/A-18C Hornets against F-15 Eagles from Florida Air National Guard’s 125th Fighter Wing and F-16 Falcons from South Carolina Air National Guard’s 169th Fighter Wing. The Checkerboards also flew with assets from Navy Strike Fighter Squadrons 32 (VFA-32) and 105 (VFA-105), utilizing F/A-18F Super Hornets and F/A-18E Super Hornets respectively.

In 1986, Richard Burris took the challenge of going through the rigorous 13-week training that is Marine Corps boot camp. Nearly three decades later, Burris’ son followed in those same yellow footsteps that transform young adults into Marines.

Now a master gunnery sergeant in the Marine Corps, Burris is known through-out the field of correctional specialists by name and by reputation. His position as the technical advisor at the Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston speaks well of his experience as a leader; leadership that spans not only through the enlisted ranks but carries over to officers. Naturally, his leadership transferred over to his family of five.

The story is common in the military; following a family tradition and serving country. What isn’t common is the opportunity for father and son to serve side by side in the same work environment.

Private First Class Kaelen Burris, a correctional specialist with the Naval Con-solidated Brig v shipped to those same yellow footsteps in October 2013. Upon graduation, Kaelen, who had originally enlisted for reconnaissance in the infan-try, was designated a correctional specialist after sustaining injuries during his initial training.

“[When] I went through [Infantry Training Battalion] I had an issue with my right knee but didn’t go to medical for it,” said Kaelen, a 21-year-old native of

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort ended its 6th Annual Feds Feed Fami-lies Campaign to support food inse-cure households in the surrounding communities, Aug. 28.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the do-nations from the Feds Feed Families food drive are especially important because they come at a time of year when donations traditionally decline.

The 6th annual Feds Feed Families campaign collected approximately 4,000 pounds of non-perishable foods aboard Marine Corps Air Sta-tion Beaufort and Laurel Bay, which were donated to the Lowcountry

Operation Adrenaline Rush combines combat and operational stress control principles with an outdoor recreation adventure activity to aid in mitigating

boredom and high-risk behavior of re-cently deployed Marines and sailors. OAR also helps build unit cohesion, es-prit de corps, morale, and communica-tion amongst Marines.

“And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.” I Cor 13: 13

In order for a person to be healthy spiritu-ally they must have in good measure of the values of Faith, Hope, and Love. In order for the Marine Corps to accomplish it mission it has adopted the core values of Honor, Courage, and Com-mitment. Aristotle has been noted as suggesting that the way we obtain or strength-en these values in our life is through the actual practice or doing of them. In other words, if you wish to have more “Honor” then do more honorable things. Marines, in part, have a strong measure of these values due to their constant application in the manner in which they conduct their part in the defense of our nation. Faith, Hope, and Love must be grown and understood as well from the communities we belong.

Faith as a defined value is related to an in-dividual’s sense of trust. A person may be empowered to trust others or themselves in a variety of circumstances by the quality of the thing, person, or god that they trust. If a person, say, places a great deal of trust in their surrounding family or friends it is because of the exceptional quality of those friends or family members as being trustworthy. God that motivates, supports, or strengthens a person. For example: As a Christian my favor-ite verse is Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”

Hope as a value is related to a person’s sense of purpose. Why do they do the things they do? Whatever drives you to find meaning in life is usually developed from the things you value. For example, as a Christian, the Bible says we serve a “living Hope” my identifica-tion with God and His purpose for me drives the value of hope in my life.

Love as a value in a person life is derived

from the people or community to whom and from whom you give and receive love. The Bible says that “God is Love.” So as a Christian, the value of love in my life is directly derived from my relationship with God.

For all, I would argue that healthy spiri-tual people and families need to define from where they derive the quality of these values and seek to strengthen them in order to sur-vive the challenges that life in the military can present.

Time together is perhaps the biggest con-cern among our Marine families. We all know that there is very little that we can do about it except wait for our loved one to return from deployment or the next leave period. That is why it is extremely important that we focus

on quality when quantity is elusive. Quality in regards to say the value of Love is often best accomplished when you discover your mate’s “Love language.”

About six months ago my wife had im-pressed me with some pretty cool parenting skills with our two little ones. Unfortunately, it happened during a week last summer when at MCRD Parris Island I had over 2500

recruits on deck. In the midst of those long days, I found that time was slipping by too quickly for me to praise her personally for it. So one early morning I simply took a yellow post it note and wrote a simple note of praise and affirmation and posted it on the garage door leading into the house. That was over six months ago and it is still there as a monument of remem-brance for my wife of my

love and admiration that she has yet to take down. In knowing my wife’s “Love Language” I was able to ensure that my efforts hit their intended mark and communicate effectively how much I love her.

Gary Smalley’s book “The Five Love Lan-guages,” describes research that suggests that we give and receive love via one of five ways: Quality Time, Physical Touch, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, and Acts of Service. Tap-ping into my wife’s particular love language enabled me to express my unconditional commitment to her in a meaningful way. In order for you to know your mates love lan-guage just ask. Get the book or look them up online or give me a call sometime I would be glad to help.

Thankful for life’s challenges

Food Bank in Yemassee. From there the food is distributed to 52 local agencies in Beaufort, Hampton, Jas-per and Colleton counties, finding its way onto the tables of Americans in need.

“Feds Feed Families is a summer long food drive where non-perishable food and other items are collected to support families across America,” said Chief Warrant Officer Michael Choui-nard, the Marine Corps Community Services officer for MCAS Beaufort. “Without access to nutrition pro-grams, children and families across the country are at greater risk of hun-ger during the summer months.”

According to the USDA, an esti-mated 50 million people, or one in six Americans, struggle and face the re-alities of hunger. Since the campaign began six years ago, federal workers have donated and collected approxi-mately 24 million pounds of food and

other non-perishable goods such as hygiene items to support families across America.

“Feds Feed Families is one of our biggest food drives of the year,” said Benton Williams, the regional food center manager for the Lowcountry Food Bank in Yemassee. “It’s a way for us to help act as a support for the times when kids aren’t being fed daily at school for lunch. When those children have that vital source of nutrition cut off during the summer months, Feds Feed Families helps bridge that gap.”

The Air Station has already set high goals for next year’s campaign hop-ing to donate one pound of food per service member, Chouinard said.

“Each year, we see that the spirit of generosity and goodwill is strong and alive throughout our nation,” said Karen Comfort, the national program manager for FFF, in a press release. “Thank you to all of you that donated. Your donation, whether big or small, helped impact the lives of those who need it most.”

of recruits the fundamentals of combat marksmanship. OAR shows them what they can do out in the community and gives them great alternatives to risky be-haviors.”

Marines participated in activities such as rock wall climbing, canoeing, paddle boarding, disk golf, archery, mountain bike riding, an obstacle course, and more.

“Dealing with combat stressors, you can’t really get that in civilian life,” said Sgt. Chris Rector, a primary marksmanship instructor with Range Co. “It’s a change of scenery. We get to come out here [and] let loose a little bit.”

Through programs like OAR, Marines are able to engage in high-intensity situ-ations, quelling their adventurous sides, while being responsible and staying safe.

Units returning from deployments are encouraged to schedule an event with outdoor recreation and involve their Ma-rines in the program.

“I was very apprehensive coming into

this,” said Lance Cpl. Warren Shaw, a com-bat marksmanship coach with Range Co. “It turned out to be a great experience, there was a lot of team building [events] and we got to build camaraderie and bond as fellow Marines up and down the chain of command.”

Operation Adrenaline Rush is an effec-tive tool that helps Marines transition and provides alternatives to risky behaviors, while increasing unit cohesion and better preparing the unit to face future conflicts.

“We are here to help the Marines,” said Odom. “The equipment and programs are easy, cheap and lots of fun for every Ma-rine.”

“OAR is therapeutic,” said Ryan Bell, the OAR coordinator with MCCS. “It gives Marines a chance to come out, have fun, and have a good time as they learn more about themselves, their stress levels and the Marines they work with every day. OAR makes the Marines and the unit as a whole stronger and more prepared to get back into the fight.”

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Marines from 2nd Battalion, 11th Ma-rine Regiment participated in a regimental fire exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Aug 18-26.

The 11th Marine Regiment uses the sum-mer fire exercise in preparation for upcoming combined arms exercises and potential com-bat operations abroad.

The exercise included loading internally transportable vehicles and mortars on the MV-22 Osprey, live fire from M777 A2 Light-weight Howitzer cannons and external lifts.

“We are rehearsing our concept of opera-tions to support 1st Marine Division,” said Col. Christopher A. Tavuchis, commanding officer, 11th Marine Regiment. “We are giving our teams practice working together after our summer rotation, while executing fire plans, counter fire and prosecuting targets.”

The exercise allows all supporting units to become comfortable working together. The training brings together cannoneers, ammu-nition handlers, motor transport operators, Navy hospital corpsmen and communica-tions specialists.

“We are doing a lot of stuff we don’t usu-ally do,” said Cpl. John Guevara, artillery can-noneer, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marine Regi-ment, from Fontana, Calif. “We are firing some charges not normally shot in Camp Pendle-ton and conducting a helicopter lift that not many of my Marines have been a part of yet.”

After touching up on cannon fire proce-dures, artillery Marines received an opportu-nity to train with Ospreys from Marine Aircraft Group 16 and assisted in the performance of external lifts and transport of the M777A2 Lightweight Howitzer cannon.

The lift helped Marines grow more com-fortable with working with aviation assets and prepared them for quick response situ-ations that require new cannon placement.

An external lift consists of an aircraft hover-ing above the cannon as a landing support team connects cables from underneath the aircraft to the cannon. It then ascends, carry-ing the weapon to another location.

Mortar platoons from 11th Marine Regi-ment further expanded their abilities by learning to load expeditionary fire support systems consisting of a 120mm mortar, ammo trailer and two vehicles on the aircraft as well.

“This is what these Marines train to do,” said Tavuchis. “There is no more important thing for us than to train these Marines for combat.”

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. – Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) 462 conducted external cargo lifts in coordination with a Helicopter Support Team with Combat Logistic Regiment 17 aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., Aug. 21.

The training gives Marines the ability to quickly transport supplies in unfriendly ter-rain without having to land the helicopter. However, without the help of HST Marines to attach the cargo, supplies could not be easily moved in a real-life situation.

For training purposes, the Marines at-tached an 8,000 pound beam to two hooks suspended from the bottom of a CH-53E Super Stallion. This training keeps the team and helicopter crew current with proce-dures required to keep everyone safe while fastening cargo.

“We get the hands-on training with our junior Marines so they get the experience to be able to apply it in the field,” said Cpl. Donald Harp, a landing support specialist with Combat Logistics Regiment 17.

The HST successfully attached the pay-load 15 times allowing the pilots to expe-rience the effects of carrying heavy loads.

“This type of training is the ‘meat and potatoes’ of the CH-53 community,” said Capt. Christopher Reed, a CH-53E pilot with HMH-462. “We are that logistical combat element for ground units, able to provide support to anyone in the Marine Corps.”

The aircraft lifted a total of 120,000 pounds by the time the training ended, giving every Marine multiple repetitions in their respective roles.

“We had a lot of good training today with everyone. It’s always fun to go out and per-form some external loads,” added Reed.

The squadron will continue to train and rehearse with HST Marines to refine their skills so they are ready to provide an exter-nal lift at a moment’s notice.

Marines, sailors with Bravo Company conduct security patrol in Helmand province

2/11 prepares for future operations

Corporal Kevin Midgley, a machine gunner with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, provides security during a pa-trol in Helmand province, Afghanistan, Aug. 24, 2014. The Marines and sailors will continue to patrol the surrounding area of Camps Bastion and Leatherneck to ensure the safety of coalition forces operating on the bases until full security responsibility of the area is transferred to the Afghan National Security Forces by the end of the year.

Cpl. Cody HaasRegional Command Southwest

CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan— Enemy insurgents continue to operate in Helmand province, Afghanistan. To mitigate this threat, infantry units con-duct security patrols to build relation-ships with locals in the surrounding area of Camps Bastion and Leatherneck, and to rid local routes of improvised ex-plosive devices.

Marines and sailors with Bravo Com-pany, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regi-ment, donned their gear, mounted in Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles and convoyed approximately three hours south of Camp Leatherneck for a 24-hour security patrol, Aug. 23-24.

“I feel it was successful,” said Cpl. Da-vid Calle, a native of Miami, Florida, and assistant patrol leader with Bravo Co. “Today we got to talk to a couple locals and build rapport with them for

future operations. The more people we can talk to the better our relationship will be while working with them, which gives us a better chance to find hidden IEDs in the area.”

Patrolling throughout Helmand prov-ince remains dangerous but necessary for the security of the base.

“It is very important that everyone pays attention at all times,” said Cpl. Kevin Midgley, a machine gunner with Bravo Co. “There are no guarantees. I am constantly relying on my brothers to watch my back as I watch over theirs.”

Infantry Marines are thoroughly trained during predeployment train-ing on what to look for. During several classes, they are taught what IED indi-cators look like, as well as the protocol for coming across a possible IED.

“When there is a possible threat in the area, it is always better to get a visual confirmation on the threat before com-ing to a conclusion that could cost us time or put ourselves in more of a dan-

gerous situation,” said Midgley, a native of Cleveland.

Mivgley also stressed the importance of vehicle maintenance and prepara-tion prior to conducting mounted op-erations in the area.

“Before each operation, the vehicles are prepped and checked thoroughly to make sure there will not be any in-cidents three hours away from base,” said Midgley. “Everyone with Bravo Co. has been properly trained, and we are ready for anything during future opera-tions.”

First Battalion, 2nd Marines deployed to Afghanistan during May from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

The Marines and sailors will continue to patrol the surrounding area of the Bastion-Leatherneck complex to en-sure the safety of coalition forces op-erating on the bases until full security responsibility of the area is transferred to the Afghan National Security Forces by the end of the year.

Fightertown deployed: coRps Bits

More than 20 Marines with Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point’s Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting simulated extin-guishing aircraft fires to prepare them for the conditions and stressors of real life Aug. 14.

“The purpose of this training is to fa-miliarize the Marines with being around fire and the techniques they would use to combat it,” said Cpl. Brian Lorys, an ARFF specialist with Headquarters and Head-quarters Squadron.

The Marines use a Mobile Aircraft Fire-fighting Training Device to obtain the most realistic training, according to Lo-rys, a native of Bradley Brook, N.Y. The MAFTD provides several types of training situations for the Marines by releasing fire from different directions at various heights and locations on the aircraft.

Everyone who works on a truck is re-quired to conduct the training, said Lorys.

“The training helps everyone,” said Lance Cpl. Cory Carden, an ARFF special-ist with Marine Wing Support Squadron 274. “For the newer people, it allows them to experience real life situations, and for the people who have been here a while, it keeps everything fresh in their heads and helps build muscle memory.”

Each situation the Marines go into dur-ing this training simulates a real aircraft fire, said Carden. They must train how they perform in a live fire.

The most important part of this train-ing is that the real scenario gives the best practice for the rescuemen, said Lorys. Firefighting is not something you can just learn in the classroom; there needs to be the practice of going out and experienc-ing the conditions.

“If we do not take this training seriously and suddenly the real thing rolls around we won’t be ready, and someone will get hurt,” said Lorys. “It is our job to remain prepared to face the fire for hours on end if needed, because how intense we train will reflect how well we perform.”

Aircraft Rescue, Firefighting Marines hone techniques

CONCON, Chile - Marines, sailors, and sol-diers took part in partner nation integrated training exercises here as a part of Partnership of the Americas 2014 August 19-20.

Service members from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay and the United States rotated through MOUT training as well as two live-fire ranges.

The MOUT training, military operations on urban terrain, consisted of room clearing, door breaching and medical evacuations which were supported by CH-46E Sea Knight helicopters.

The first live-fire range began when squads were air lifted onto the range via CH-46 and assaulted through an objective with 240B machine guns providing support by fire. The second range, the combat marksmanship range, utilized barriers, which forced service members to get their body and weapon into awkward stances and was meant to be shot with an elevated heart rate.

The live-fire ranges were organized and ran by Staff Sgt. Nestor Cruz, the senior marks-manship instructor for combat shooting in the Marine Corps. Cruz stressed that the com-bat shooting program is designed to create thinkers.

“When we’re out here showing them our techniques, we’re not telling them how to shoot, just showing them techniques and tools they can use,” said Cruz.

When asked about issues with the lan-guage barrier on a live-fire range, Cruz stated, “I don’t think language is a barrier here. We have Marines that speak Spanish and we also have translators. Actions speak louder than words.”

POA is designed to enhance joint and com-bined interoperability; increase the combined capability to execute amphibious operations, Peace Support Operations, Humanitarian As-sistance/Disaster Relief missions, and further develop strong and lasting relationships be-tween the naval infantries and marine corps within the Americas.

Bravo-1 takes R&S to AlaskaLance Cpl. Carson Grimley1 Marine Expeditionary Force

FORT GREELY, Alaska - Marines and sailors with 1st Platoon, Company B, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion recent-ly completed a 12 day Deployment for Training (DFT) trip to Fort Greely, Alaska, where they performed various types of platoon level training and sup-ported elements of Exercise Red Flag from August 5-17. Bravo-1 used the op-portunity of a different landscape and terrain to work on skills they practice regularly aboard Camp Pendleton, but there it was different.

While at Fort Greely the platoon com-pleted a Reconnaissance and Surveil-lance (R&S) package they could do al-most anywhere on Pendleton, but the unique terrain and weather conditions presented to them in Alaska gave the training a boost in value.

Reconnaissance and Surveillance missions allow recon teams to infiltrate clandestinely in an area past the for-ward line of troops and gain informa-tion that might prove useful for later operations. According to Capt. John Garlasco, Bravo-1 platoon commander,

R&S is a large part of what Reconnais-sance Marines are trained for.

“Reconnaissance and Surveillance is our bread and butter really, whether it’s urban reconnaissance, rural recon-naissance, vehicle reconnaissance, pretty much gathering information which gets turned into intelligence for a maneuver element,” said Garlasco.

These types of patrols allow the op-erating forces to see what they’re really up against and see things from where an overt force simply couldn’t go.

“We take photos and send back imag-ery, reports and near real-time video to the commander so they can have a bet-ter perspective of what’s actually hap-pening on the ground vice some aerial asset looking down on the target; they get the human perspective,” said Gun-nery Sgt. Kevin Homestead, Bravo-1 platoon sergeant.

Bravo-1’s R and S training mission in Alaska was seemingly simple and quick, avoid possible enemy threats and gather information on the enemy situation, but the Alaska terrain com-plicated things a bit. What could have been a three hour movement turned into six.

“The environment that they are in here is dramatically different than Camp Pendleton or anywhere else that we’ve been as a platoon. They’re able to take into consideration the terrain, the weather, the local population; and all these elements have to be factored into how close or how far away they need to get to their objective and how quick or slow they can move through the terrain without being detected,” said Garlasco.

The platoon’s command agreed that these conditions invoked a valuable training opportunity and created a ref-erence point for future training and op-erations that might carry Marines into comparable locations.

“The more environments we can ex-pose ourselves to prior to deployment, the more capable and ready we are for wherever we get called to do any ac-tion throughout the globe,” said Home-stead.

Company B is scheduled to deploy with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit early next year and uses train-ing like this in hopes of boosting their global readiness for any call the Marine Corps may need them to answer.

Marines with 1st Platoon, Company B, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, use team combat tactics to maneuver to their extraction point after taking notional enemy contact during a Reconnaissance and Surveillance patrol at Fort Greely, Alaska, August 12. Bravo-1 used the unique terrain and vegetation in Alaska to conduct training R and S training in an environment completely different from what they’re accustomed to.

Cpl. James MarchettiMarine Corps Air Station Yuma

MARINE CORPS AIR STA-TION YUMA, Ariz. - Marine Light Helicopter Attack Squadron 369 (HMLA-369), based out of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Cali-fornia, located to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma from Aug. 17–22 in order to con-duct training and take ad-vantage of the station’s vast, detailed ranges.

Throughout their visit, HMLA 369 conducted nu-merous operations at the Yodaville Urban Target Com-plex, located approximately 20 miles Southeast of MCAS Yuma in the Barry M. Gold-water Range.

This massive complex, com-prised of more than 100 sim-ulated buildings, acquainted the squadron’s pilots and crew chief door gunners with moving target objectives, an entity that is unavailable to

them while training aboard MCB Pendleton.

“Anytime you get exposed to different environments and factors on the job, you’re going to come out better than you were before,” said Cpl Eric Hamer, a crew chief for HMLA 369. “Coming out to Yuma and Yodaville – that’s one of the only times we get to train for urban close air support (CAS), and it’s important we get this kind of training.”

According to Hamer, this training benefited the crew chiefs by providing mentor-ship opportunities through their exposure to these in-tense and unfamiliar objec-tives.

“Most of gunners are rela-tively new, so it’s difficult for them to judge the different distances and profiles of tar-gets on top of communicat-ing with the pilots like they should,” said Hamer, a Mur-ray, Iowa, native. “This (urban

CAS) isn’t usually something they would receive training on until later on in their ca-reers. … So for me, as their senior, to be there with them and let them know what needs to be done, and how they need to do it step by step – it makes us all the more combat ready.”

Overall, the squadron ex-pelled thousands of rounds and racked up approximately 150 flight hours during their stint at MCAS Yuma, glean-ing a deeper understand-ing of the aviation combat element, its capabilities and their specific mission in the process.

Jonesboro, Ga. “When I went to medical I had a torn me-niscus and didn’t want to in-jure it any further making it a long-term injury.”

After injuring himself, Kaelen had the opportunity to choose an available Mili-tary Occupational Specialty and he chose to do what his father has been doing for nearly three decades.

“When they offered him different MOSs this is the one he chose and this is the one they gave him, luck of the draw, and he wanted the East Coast and they sent him to [Joint Base Charleston] so it’s kind of neat but whether he would have come here or not, I’m still proud of him,” said Burris, 51, a native of Fair-field, Ill.

Although Kaelen grew up in a Marine Corps environ-ment, he did not know the particulars of his job when he started because his father was always vigilant about separating family from work.

“I didn’t push him into the Marine Corps or his MOS,” said Burris. “I never treated him as a recruit; I never let the stressors of work go home with me, because working in this environment you can get frustrated with the individu-als that are here, but I left it all here.”

“I knew a lot of the NCOs and SNCOs prior to joining the Marine Corps,” said Kael-en. “I definitely knew about the living conditions and Ma-rine Corps in general, but the ins and outs of this MOS I’m

learning just like everybody else.”

While Kaelen grows in his knowledge of the correc-tions field, the young Marine has a lot of mentors who worked with him before he claimed the title “Marine.” Prior to earning his eagle, globe and anchor Kaelen had trained with Gunnery Sgt. Scott Wean, who helped him prepare for the swim quali-fication test all Marines are required to complete. Wean had also served with Burris at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

“We have the grandfather of corrections and our newest little brother of corrections working in the same place,” said Wean, the prisoner man-agement staff noncommis-sioned officer in charge at the brig and now Kaelen’s im-mediate supervisor. “[Kaelen] works extra hard because he knows some of the older staff his father has worked with will hold him to the high stan-dards that were expected of them.”

“[Burris] raised us in this MOS, now we have the op-portunity to raise his son,” said Wean.

For others the association with the newest correctional specialist at the brig goes back a lifetime.

“I used to babysit Kaelen when he was a toddler,” said Chief Warrant Officer Nolan, the Marine detachment offi-cer in charge and operations officer of Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston. “I was a lance corporal when [Burris] was my staff sergeant.”

Both Burris’ stand at nearly six feet with muscular builds

that speak of their passion for weight lifting, one of many passions passed from father to son. The Marines’ relation is unquestionable, but Burris promotes individualism in his son, from choices in careers to his performance at work.

Burris, who has deployed in support of Operation Iraq Freedom twice and is admin-istratively responsible for all Marines in the Brig, says he really doesn’t converse with his son much at work.

“He’s professional, a lot of people said we would have issues working together but not really because he knows what is expected of him, and I know where I stand in his chain,” said Burris. “I’m proud of him, not just for being in this MOS or here but being in the Marine Corps. I let him make his own decisions and this is what he decided.”

Although the father and son team stay professional at work, having mom close by is one advantage that Kaelen has over his father.

“He’s welcomed anytime he wants, but he stays at the barracks, I let his mom do his laundry once a month,” said Burris. “We’ll abuse him for chores, I tell him to come home and mow the lawn.”

Although Kaelen still has chores at home, Burris says mom is excited that he got stationed at Joint Base Charleston as were his two younger sisters.

Jokingly, Burris said to Kael-en, “Don’t expect mom to bail you out anymore.”

Kaelen, who is looking to pursue a degree in sociology, plans to continue a career in law enforcement.
