JOHN M. RUTH

MCAS CHERRY POINT Labor Day not only marks the beginning of the offi cial school year for many but also the end of the summer season and the 101 Critical Days of Summer safety campaign that began around Me- morial Day for military members. As always, during this holiday weekend it’s important to be mindful of motor vehicle safety, water safety, off-duty recreation, home safety, fi re safety and countless other safety concerns. Remember before you put away the grill there may still be some gas left in the tank. Also, hunt- ing season begins in early September for certain game and wildlife. Motor vehicle mishaps kill far too many Ma- rines. A man was killed a few years ago in a trag- ic mishap in a parking lot aboard the air station. Many have observed close calls or near misses in parking lots not only aboard the air station but out in town as well. Have you ever seen some- one backing up while fumbling with a cell phone, wrestling with their seatbelt, adjusting the stereo, turning on the A/C, or just not paying attention?

Fleet Readiness Center-East and Marine Aircraft Group 14 are giving a facelift to the F-11 Tiger aircraft that was displayed in the city of New Bern, N.C., for decades. The F-11, which in a previous lifetime fl ew proudly as part of the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels, had in recent years grown corroded and was disgraced by vandals. The aircraft is now on the path to recovery, with Marines and civilian employees with FRC-East and MAG-14 working diligently to restore the aircraft to greatness. “This thing was neglected,” said Duane McFarland with FRC-East. “It should and will be done right.” Newly renovated and with a coat of paint befi tting its honorable history, the aircraft will also have a new home. Alva Windham, New Bern’s project manager for the F-11 restoration project, said when the renovation is complete the jet will not return to its perch on Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd. but rather will be moved to Lawson Creek Park. McFarland explained the plans for renovation include sealing the F-11 with its landing gear up and placed on a stand tilted toward the sky as if it were in fl ight again. Windham added the aircraft was a gift to the city of New Bern in 1973 by Maj. Gen. Paul D. Fontana, a former commanding general of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. Now, the Cherry Point community is joining forces to restore the aircraft’s esteem. MAG-14 volunteered some Marines to FRC-East to lend a hand in the restoration. Aug. 19, two such Marines could be found diligently working on the F-11, fi tting metal pieces onto the jet. Cpl.

Since the fi rst volunteer blood donor service opened in 1921, there has been a constant outreach for donors – and here is why: 1. There is no substitute for human blood. 2. Every day brings advances in life-saving tech- niques – many of which require blood or blood products. 3. Blood products cannot be stored indefi nitely. • Red blood cells must be used within 35-42 days of collection for the safety of the recipient. • Platelets have an even shorter shelf life – they must be used within fi ve days of collection. Because blood may be needed at any time, it must be collected regularly. No one expects to need blood; however, if it is not available when the need arises, the consequences can be fatal. Although those who donate can tell you there is no better feeling than saving a life, only fi ve percent of eligible donors LANCE CPL. BRIAN ADAM JONES actually donate. That is why regular donors – those 1st Lt. Daniel D.

The leathernecks of Marine Wing Communi- cations Squadron 28 engaged in a fi eld training exercise at Marine Corps Outlying Field Camp Davis, N.C., Aug. 18-27. The training focused on testing different meth- ods of fi eld communication and the tactics used to achieve successful communication techniques when deployed. The exercise required commu- nications Marines to demonstrate their ability to perform their jobs correctly in the fi eld. “This training is vital to the mission of the en- tire II Marine Expeditionary Force,” said Master Gunnery Sgt. William L. Johnson, communica- tions chief for MWCS-28. “The Marines need to exercise command and control over the com- munications nodes before deployment.” Marines with Company B, MWCS-28, such as Pfc. Weston R. Britt and Lance Cpl. Alex K. Arnston, were responsible for operating the Lightweight Multi-Band Satellite Terminals used during the exercise. Arnston, a ground mo- bile forces operator who led his team during the exercise, explained his team’s responsibilities. “We are mainly responsible for troubleshoot- ing anything that happens with our satellite equipment,” said Arnston. “Along with trouble- shooting we maintain and monitor power levels and make sure communication is maintained at CPL.

The ships left the docks at Naval Station Norfolk this week responding to an order by the Secretary of Defense to depart before the end of the month. They are bringing heavy and me- dium-lift aircraft and other assets to support fl ood relief efforts in Pakistan. This Navy and Marine Corps team is expected to arrive in the vicinity of Pakistan in late September. “This is an opportunity for 26th MEU Marines and Sailors to help a key partner nation,” said Col. Mark J. Desens, commanding of- fi cer of the 26th MEU. “We have a versatile and fl exible force that we will use to alleviate suffering of the Pakistani citizens affected by this disaster.”

MCAS CHERRY POINT At the conclusion of the East Coast Regional Softball Tournament, which was held at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, Aug. 25, Dan Daniels selected 15 players from the East Coast to attend the All-Ma- rine softball camp. Daniels is the All-Marine softball coach charged with training players from the East Coast along with Marines from west coast and Pacifi c installations. Cherry Point is hosting the camp, which started Friday and will run through Sept. 16. Out of the 15 selected from the East Coast regional tournament, two were picked from the Cherry Point team – Sgt. Doug Pearson and Petty Offi cer 3rd Class Bobby Brown. “It is a great feeling being selected out of more than 100 Marines and Sailors to try out for the team,” said Pearson. “It means a lot to me. Getting the chance to represent the air station and possibly even the Marine Corps itself, it’s a great feeling and opportunity.” All players will have to work hard in order to make the offi cial All-Marine team that will compete at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla., to represent the Marine Corps in the Armed Forces Tournament Sept. 18-24. “I look for a player who knows their position better than anyone else,” said Daniels. “This is an offensive game, and I am looking for a player who can make the easy plays every time, but also who has situational awareness at the plate.” Both Pearson and Brown know they are going to have to push themselves to the very limits of their abil- ity. “To make the All-Marine team we have to be a well-rounded player on top of being a great situational LANCE CPL.

DAVID W. KELLEY

MARINE AND FAMILY PROGRAMS Recently there have been more concerns with service members and the abusive alcohol patterns that have been on the increase. Information provided below will hopefully shed some light on this subject. When it comes to alcohol, service members should remember that it is against U.S. Navy and Marine Corps policy to abuse alcohol. Alcohol is a legal drug, but it is still a drug and should only be used in a responsible manner. Drinking becomes abusive in nature when it causes or elevates the risk for alcohol-related problems or complicates the management of other health issues. According to research, men who drink fi ve or more standard drinks in a day and women who drink four or more in a day are at increased risk for alcohol-related problems. As such, the use of alcohol, when done responsibly, is acceptable in society. The use of alcohol to celebrate, socialize, and relax is usually not a problem. Everyone should keep in mind to never use alcohol to deal with stress, life problems, or for the relief of any negative emotion. The use of alcohol for such purposes can lead to problem drinking, alcohol related problems and possible addiction. People whose use of alcohol has negative effects on any aspect of their lives, including health, relationships, work, school and money, are considered to have an alcohol problem. These problems can range from mild to severe. The severity of an alcohol problem depends on several factors including the type of alcohol you drink, how much you drink, and how long you have been drinking Alcohol abuse A pattern of drinking that involves one or more of the following problems within a one-year period: • Failure to carry out major responsibilities at work, school or home • Drinking in physically dangerous situations, such as while driving • Legal problems related to using alcohol • Continued drinking despite ongoing problems in relationships with other people that are related to alcohol use. Alcohol abuse does not involve physical dependence on alcohol. But if it is not treated, alcohol abuse can lead to alcohol dependence. Alcohol dependence A chronic and potentially fatal disease in which a person is addicted to alcohol. It cannot be cured, but it can be successfully controlled. Al- cohol dependence is characterized by three or more of the following occurring in a one-year period: • Tolerance: increasing amounts of alcohol needed to get the same effect. • Withdrawal symptoms, such as shakiness, sweating, nausea, anxiety and depression, when alcohol use is stopped after heavy drinking. Also, use of alcohol to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms. • Drinking larger amounts and for longer than you intended. • Inability to cut down or quit drinking. • Spending a lot of time getting and drinking alcohol or recovering from its effects. • Reducing or giving up important work or leisure activities. • Continued use despite the physical or emotional problems it causes to the drinker or other people. How do I know if I have a drinking problem? Drinking is a problem if it causes you to be involved with law enforcement, or negatively impacts your relationships, work, school, social activities or how you think and feel about yourself. If you are concerned that either you or someone in your family might have a drinking problem you can contact the Substance Abuse Center at 466-4875, or consult with your personal health care provider.

NOTEBOOK Said wins in Montreal by a hair

It hasn’t happened in a long time, but on Sunday at Montreal an underdog driver and team finally won a major NASCAR race. Boris Said, the road course specialist, drove an underfunded Ford owned by Robby Benton to victory, defeating Max Papis in a near photo finish at the end of the NAPA Auto Parts 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. ‘Alter The race saw many of the top contenders ‘Alter drop out before the finish, but on the final lap, Said, Papis and hometown favorite Jacques Villeneuve were still in contention. Said took the lead when Robby Gordon ran out of gas with one lap to go. Then Papis nosed into the lead on the next-to-last corner only to see Said storm back in the final turn. The two ran what amounted to a drag race to the finish line with Said nosing ahead by a .012-second margin. It was the closest Ego’Ego’ Nationwide finish on a road course and the fifth closest overall in series history. “I don’t think we had the fastest car today,” Said told reporters after the race. “But we definitely had the smartest race strategy with Scott Zipadelli as the crew chief, the first time I ever worked with him. “We had great communication. He called a great race, and it was really about managing the race track, managing your brakes. “I’m shocked … overwhelmed. I thought I was going to cry, but I didn’t.” It was his first Nationwide win after nine years of trying. He has one Camping World Truck Series victory, at Infineon Raceway in 1998, but otherwise had been shut out in NASCAR competition.

DEANNE HURLA 3RD MARINE AIRCRAFT WING (FWD) CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan – The 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) proved its versatility and fl exibility as they stepped up to support the 26th Marine Ex- peditionary Unit on its way to Pakistan – without compromising its already-intense combat operations support. The Marines of 3rd MAW (Fwd) spent about a week preparing before the fi rst he- licopter and Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266 (Reinforced), 26th MEU, arrived Aug. 22. The 26th MEU is on its way to relieve the 15th MEU and bring humanitarian aid to the people of Pakistan.
