Marines and Corpsmen:

Happy New Year Leathernecks! Hope everyone had a nice holiday season to round up 2011. With the new year coming in, we look forward to continuing our mission of service and assistance to our veterans and community. This month we will be returning to the annual Isle Casino and Racing RV Show in Pompano for a weekend of recruiting and fundraising. While working on getting our name out in the public, we will also be collecting donations for the benefit of the Injured Warriors Fund of Florida, LLC. This wounded troops program is sponsored by the Department of Florida Marine Corps League and has done a great job in helping to support our injured servicemen and women in the State. Recently, they were instrumental in helping to raise funds for Marine Sgt. Matt Berube, who was severely injured in Afghanistan after stepping on an IED. So, if you have the opportunity, kindly consider coming out to volunteer for our Detachment exhibit booth on either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, January 27, 28, 29, (see page 3 for details). Thanks again to all of our inaugural semester donors of the Ted Bolender Scholarship Program. Your generosity has enabled us to establish a good base for our scholarship fund and will allow for a number of awards to be given this year. Also, everyone keep a look out for the release of the Fall Semester packet coming soon! Sadly, last month a locally stationed Marine, Major Samuel Griffith, was killed in action in Afghanistan while serving with 4th ANGLICO, out of West Palm Beach, FL. As many of you know, this hits close to home as the General A. A. Vandergrift Detachment MCL has a close relationship with the Marines of 4th ANGLICO and a number of you have attended their Birthday Ball events over the years. Please remember to keep the Major’s family in your thoughts & prayers and don’t forget our troops who continue their fight into another year. Take care and we’ll see you at the next meeting on Thursday January 19th, 2012 !

Semper Fi,

Scott Vulpis Commandant, MCL Det. 1058

I was born a Texan of first generation German immigrant stock from Bremen, Germany. However, before this modern hyphenated thing you would say I was an American - born in Texas not a German-American but a proud Texan of German ancestry. To add to this - I was born back a couple of centuries ago on February 24, 1885, in a town that is just about smack dab in the middle of Texas. In fact if you drew a line north and south you might just about divide East Texas from West Texas, give or take a few miles as being about sixty miles south give or take from Austin. My Texas hometown, the place where I was born had a population of about 1,000 citizens, mostly immigrants and second generation originally from Germany. We were what you might say a people and a community who stayed mostly to ourselves speaking German from the old country. My first language was German, the language of our home. In fact we never had an English speaking school teacher until around 1900 or so but we knew of the problems and the continuous squabbles of the royals so we appreciated our American freedom of thought, education and opportunity.

Texas, as most people are aware is a land of rolling endless prairie and especially from where I was raised is not a land surrounded by water. Most, if not all of our water came from small rivers, creeks and backbreaking hand dug wells. My father was ill, sickly, his body wracked by disease and passed away shortly before I was born. I was raised by my grandfather, a retired German Merchant Marine sailor from the old country. He was well educated, a dynamic reader long before radio and television who filled my head stories about faraway places, of different peoples, different cultures and the importance of education and math. In my Texas home and in our town we had a work ethic and a belief in God, Country and helping neighbors in need. The upbringing, the quest for education, and the knowledge and use mathematics combined with an all around good education were a primary concern of our close knit community. So much emphasis was placed on education and study that while still in high school I sought admission to West Point for a better education but found to my dismay there was no opening. Our Congressman suggested instead that I apply and study for admission to the Naval Academy where an opening existed. I was still in high school when I asked for and received my appointment to Annapolis. Thus, I was accepted to Annapolis before I graduated from high school leaving my school in Texas and becoming a very young student at the Naval Academy. Many years after graduating seventh in my class at Annapolis and many years after my lectures series as an instructor at the University in California I would finally receive my high school diploma this in an era when a third grade grammar schools education was considered adequate for boys and girls who had learned to read, writer and count.

My first sea duty was the battleship OHIO, then at San Francisco then onboard sailed to the Far East. In September of 06' I was transferred to the cruiser Baltimore where I served aboard as warrant officer. I would be commissioned as Ensign in 1907. I then served aboard the acquired Spanish Gunboat "Panay", then eventually duty aboard the destroyer Decatur (DD-5) where I stood for Court Martial for running the ship aground on the difficult approach to Manila harbor. For the running aground incident I faced a Court-martial under the Navy "Rocks and Shoals". I was found guilty of hazarding a Navy ship and received a letter of reprimand. Assigned to the cruiser Denver and shipped to the Far East, I eventually returned to the United States aboard the sail and power gunboat USS Ranger when the ship was returned to the United States for conversion to a school ship. Like all young navy officers at the time I had hoped to be assigned to battleships but my encounter with the mud bank appeared to end that hope. Instead, in January 1909, I began instruction in the First Flotilla, considered something of a novelty (and also a dead end career ending job at the time). It was it was in May of that year I was given command of the flotilla with additional duty in command of the USS Plunger with successive and progressive commands to the USS Snapper and USS Narwhal. As the CO of the Narwhal I was directed to assume the duties of Commander 3rd Submarine Division Atlantic Fleet. In November 1911, I was ordered to the Boston Navy Yard to assist in fitting out the new USS Skipjack, assuming command of the boat on 14 February 1912 one month prior to the tragic loss of the Titanic that would mark the end to the era of 19th century opulence and excess.

Later, perhaps it was because of my ability to speaking and understanding of the German language that I was selected in the summer of 1913 to study diesel engine design and development in the new diesel engine manufacturing plants in Nuremburg, Germany and at Ghent, Belgium. Completing my work and research in Europe 1916, I returned to duty at the New York Navy Yard where I joined the Maumee becoming both the Executive and Engineering Officer of the new fleet oiler upon on her commissioning October 23, 1916. It was aboard the Maumee in April 1917 the Maumee that we carried out the first at-sea refueling of a squadron of US Destroyers crossings the Atlantic as America entered the Great War. Then, on 10 August 1917, I received my orders and a promotion to become aide to the Commander, Submarine Force U.S. Atlantic Fleet. There I reported to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations with the responsibility and duties of Senior Member, Board of Submarine Design. Eventually from Pearl Harbor, in the late 1920's the Navy sent me to the Navy War College. As a part of my studies we developed a Submarine Operations Plan for a possible naval war in the Pacific with a possible enemy called Japan. In 1941, following the 7 December 1941 attack on the Hawaii Islands and Pearl Harbor the plan we developed at the Navy War College in 1923 would become a reality. In 1938 I was appointed Chief of the Bureau of Navigation for the , a position I would hold until 7 December 1941 when I was ordered to report to Pearl Harbor immediately. Returning to Hawaii and Pearl Harbor late December to assume my new command on December 25, 1941 Pearl Harbor was a disaster area. Still, standing at attention on the deck of one of our ready for battle, I was sworn in while proudly wearing my Dolphins signifying my submarine service.

The Pearl Harbor that lay before me had changed dramatically. There were no battlewagons other than the Arizona, the ship destined to become a monument to those who had perished and of remembrance. There were ships in the dry dock and along the waterfront undergoing repairs. The big ships, the battleships were under way returning stateside for repairs, refitting and modification while the cruisers and destroyers were out escorting the carriers on sea duty moving aircraft, men and supplies to reinforce our outermost commands. In 1941 when as a submariner looking out on the disaster that was then Pearl Harbor. I could not, at first, comprehend the destruction that filled my eyes. The big hitters were in dry dock, disabled, destroyed in the mud, or under way or tow back home. Fuel oil leaking upward to the surface from the bunkers of the damaged ships floated on the water's surface creating a mirror like sheen that reflected the semi-tropical sun with a brilliant glistening effect. The breeze carried the smell of fuel from the endless globs of black fuel oil floating on the glistening sheen of fuel oil hanging low and heavy in the air. In the background the rebirth of Pearl Harbor and the United States Navy was already taking place. Today on this day in 1945 as I prepare to depart Pearl Harbor to join the Battleship Missouri for the formal surrender in Tokyo Bay I find it is inadequate and impossible to describe the damage that day at Pearl Harbor - it had to be seen in person by the human eye.

Pearl Harbor was, in retrospect, as successful as the attack appeared to be, a military failure. It was an immediate tactical victory for Japan, the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and the ambitious Emperor, but in the long run it was a strategic failure for the goals and intent of the attack had not been attained. The Imperial Japanese Navy had succeeded in temporally knocking out the big ships but the total victory had escaped and the much needed total victory to establish dominance of the Empire of Japan over the Pacific Ocean on that day of 7 December 1941. The fleeting wisp of victory had evaporated upward into the plumes of smoke that drifted skyward over Hawaii.

Brown Side Out ; (Vietnam Era) Helmet covers and shelter halves were green camo on one side and brown camo on the other. This was the instruction to place the brown camo on the outside. It was most often used to describe confusion in orders as the color would change frequently and ultimately someone would show up for formation in the wrong color.
