[email protected] 1 Commandant’s Corner Commandants Corner IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY DETACHMENT COMMANDANT TO HAVE MEASURES IN PLACE TO MONITOR AND MANAGE RETENTION. That includes timely payment of dues by members, timely and accurate submission of trans- mittal forms to the Department Paymaster, and just as importantly routine recon- ciliation and verification. It doesn’t matter what is on your internal roster, what matters is what is on National’s Roster. COMMANDANTS – YOU ARE RESPONISI- BLE. You may delegate but you are responsible. We will be glad to answer any questions. As I write this many of us are preparing for our 31st Department of Alabama Con- vention. It is right around the corner. I hope to see you there. It is being jointly hosted by the P.L. Wilson and Jesse Andrews Jr. Detachments. It promises to be a great event. We have some important business and it is always a time to recon- nect with old friends and make new ones. No Marine is a stranger. Our guest speaker at the banquet is Sgt.Maj. Bryan B. Battaglia. The Sergeant Ma- jor’s last assignment was as Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff and to the Secretary of the Defense. Prior to that assignment he worked for General James Mattis. He and his lovely wife Lisa, also a Marine, re- cently joined the Joseph Whitehead Detachment in Foley, Alabama. Please plan to attend our training Friday afternoon at 1430. There are three classes and all are open to any member. Commandant Training – this will focus primarily on the everyday challenges of a Detachment Commandant. We’ll also discuss the leadership challenges and share with each other some tools to help you be successful. We encourage Com- mandants, Sr. and Jr. Vice Commandants and anyone thinking about entering the officer ranks to attend. Judge Advocate Training – Who could better head up this training then our National Judge Advocate Johnny Baker? He will be assisted by Department Judge Advocate Don Fisher. What does it mean to be a Detachment Judge Advo- cate? Johnny will cover what you need to know and how to do your job. All are invited but each Detachment Judge Ad- vocate should attend. Paymaster Training – Department Paymaster Darrell Langford will organize this discussion. Of course transmittals will be discussed but so will basic bookkeeping, control of funds and audits. Obviously Paymaster should attend but we highly encourage every Detachment Commandant to have at least one person attend. Lastly, I would like to address this Newsletter. We thank all the contributors. Each Detachment should have an article and a picture or two each month. Dianna Grantham does a fabulous job putting this newsletter together. It is a lot of work. We have a newsletter because many of you asked for one. It gets distributed via email to Detachment Commandants. I have asked members from around the state if they received their copy and too many say no, they haven’t seen it. Commandants and De- tachment Officers; it’s a simple task; forward the newsletter to all your members. Maybe print a couple to pass around at your meeting for those who don’t have email.

[email protected] _____________________________________________________________________________________ PDD Phil Ruhmshottel rd rd Volume 16, Issue 3 53 Chief Devil Dog FIRESIDE THOUGHTS FROM THE 53 CHIEF Winter, 2009 There is nothing like the aroma of a big dog resting too close to the fire. It feels great too. Recently, I was relaxing in front of the fire while reading my department’s newsletter when I realized that since I joined the Marine Corps League in 1992 my department has grown by eight detachments and another was revived after many years of just sitting on the books. We have almost doubled the size of the department in the past 17 years. For a department as small as mine this is quite an accomplishment. Most of the new detachments and many of the older ones are very active and participate in a large number of MCL and community activities. Due Date for Spring Issue As Paul Harvey would say, “AND NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY”. During the WOOF-O-GRAM same time period while my pack has formed two new pounds we have had two pounds turn in their charter and several others are struggling to find able and willing 15 March 2010 members to fill out their slate of officers. Getting installation and other reports from INSIDE THIS ISSUE: some pounds can be worse than pulling teeth. I have seen strong active pounds lose members to the point where they barely have a quorum and go through the motions Sr.

Box 11248 Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33339-1248 Scott Vulpis, Commandant www.mcleague1058.org James DuVall, Adjutant [email protected] [email protected] March 2011 To all Members: It is time again to pause and take a moment to salute our Iwo Jima members. This coming March 26th will be the 66th anniversary of the Marines claim to victory on the island and we want to recognize members John Townley, Charles Dipaola, Dick Handley , and our good friend Bob Beale, for their duty and courage during this epic Marine battle. Thank you again for your service and God bless you all. We had a good day at the Detachment Tag Sale on Saturday February 26th and had enough sales to reach our first goal of a establishing a $500 scholarship donation. A big thanks goes out to all of the donors and volunteers like Kevin Bolender, Scott Egan, John Jordan, David Knipp, Ed O’Donnell, George Rafajko, Corpsman Jerry Biondolillo, Amy Vulpis, and the Executive Hardware staff. Thank you all again for your hard work and support for this good cause. Also, this month we want to welcome our newest member from West Virginia, Marine Don Justis, who is a retired ‘ground pounder’ and proud of it. Oorah...let’s hear it for the 0300’s ! Welcome aboard ! Unfortunately, we must conclude on a sad note having to report the recent loss of two of our fellow members. Marine Fred Castonguay, who was a long time member and was known for his kindness by donating hand made Eagle Globe and Anchor license plates to our Birthday Ball event’s for gifts and raffle items each year.
