A Marine greets a loved one aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, March 14. Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251 was deployed to the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region as part of a Unit Deployment Program. While deployed, the Thunderbolts trained with partner nations, promoting peace and interoperability throughout the region Story and photos by Lance Cpl. Terry Hanes III Marines and Sailors of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251 returned from a six-month deployment March 14. The squadron was deployed to the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region in support of the Unit Deployment Program. The goal of the UDP is to promote interoperability and combined capabilities with partner nations throughout the region. “I’ve learned a lot of useful things during this deployment,” said Lance Cpl. Matthew Reyes, an aircraft maintainer with VMFA-251. “This training has definitely helped us prepare for the stress that comes with being deployed. I’ve been doing the same job that I always do, but being in that environment with a whole different operational tempo has helped me sharpen my skills when it comes to my job.” While deployed, the Marines and Sailors participated in exercise Cobra Gold where they trained with Royal Thai military personnel. Cobra Gold is an annual international exercise that seeks to improve participants’ capability to conduct joint operations, and to improve capacity with different activities, including security enhancing techniques and responding to large-scale natural disasters. As a part of Marine Aircraft Group-31, the squadron needs this training because it allows them to partake in training that can’t be conducted while aboard MCAS Beaufort. “This was the longest I have ever been from home,” said Cpl. John Leonard, a maintenance administrator with VMFA-251. “Being on this long deployment was really chalsee

Are you winning the office bracket? Don’t bet on it Courtesy Story If you decide to pay the buy in, you may have just won yourself a Page 11, NJP, or Administrative Seperation. With the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament underway, a lot of you may be wondering if you’re allowed to place bets with coworkers on these events. The answer is not at work and not on Government computers. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) forbids all persons entering in or on Federal property from participating in games for money or other personal property, operating gambling devices, conducting a lottery or pool, or selling or purchasing numbers tickets. In addition, gambling with a subordinate may be in violation of Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. However, small wagers (e.g., card games, pools on sporting

events), based on a personal relationship, transacted entirely within assigned government living quarters and not in violation of local law are permissible.

NEVER BET IN THE WORKPLACE! Bottom Line: Never wager money on anything in the workplace no matter how small the amount may be. Even printing and filling out a bracket then having coworkers put in money is in violation of paragraph 2-302 of DoD 5500.07R, Joint Ethics Regulation. In addition, it can also be a misuse of Government resources to carry out such an activity on Government computers. In conclusion never bet in the work place no matter how friendly the wager may be.

After 35 days of bitter fighting, the amphibious assault on the rocky fortress of Iwo Jima finally appeared over. On the night of 25 March, however, a 300-man Japanese force launched a vicious final counterattack in the vicinity of Airfield Number 2. Army pilots, Seabees and Marines of the 5th Pioneer Battalion and 28th Marines fought the fanatical Japanese force till morning but suffered heavy casualties --more than l00 killed and another 200 American wounded. Nearly all of the Japanese force was killed in the battle.

They lined up on the flight line and greeted the Marines and Sailors as they made their way to the squadron’s hangar. “It’s been a long six months being apart from my husband,” said Emily Ellis, a Marine spouse. “This first week was awful, but we were able to talk a lot so it made much more bearable. It’s the best feeling in the world having him back. I’m so proud of him and thankful he’s home now.” As the remainder of VMFA-251 returns to MCAS Beaufort, the squadron is beginning to transition back into a training mindset. “The Marines worked hard on this deployment and deserve a well-earned break,” said Staff Sgt.

Gunner Gilbert H. Bolton: A Marine through and through men, highly outnumbered, drove back the Viet Cong. As an enlisted Marine, Bolton was once asked, “What do you want on your identification card” and he stated, “Forever!” That theme has stayed with him ever since. After his active duty career, Bolton realized that he did not want to be without the Marine Corps, so he decided to come back to where he first started thirty-two years earlier. The School of Infantry. Gunner Bolton now serves the Marine Corps as a volunteer at the School of Infantry-West. Out of a desire to continue to lead and mentor Marines, Gunner Bolton finds himself in a classroom frequently these days and not surprisingly in a classroom named in his honor where he tells his story once a week. “I enjoy coming here, it’s an honor and a privilege as I look forward to every presentation,” said the Ohio native. Since 2003, Bolton has given fifty-five combat leadership briefs, taught thirty-seven Marine Combat Training classes, and further instructed eighteen Infantry Training

Camp Lejeune kicks off the 2018 Marine Corps Trials with Opening Ceremony Story by Cpl. Juan Madrigal Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – The opening ceremony for the 2018 Marine Corps Trials took place at the Goettge Memorial Field House on MCB Camp Lejeune, N.C., March 17, for the first time in Marine Corps Trials history. The Marine Corps Trials is a Paralympic-style adaptive sports event hosted by the Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment, which promotes recovery and rehabilitation through adaptive sport participation and develops camaraderie among recovering service members (RSMs) and veterans. RSMs from various countries came to compete against each other in sports such as wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, archery and many more. “The camaraderie is built during the sport events but afterward is where it’s really important,” said Maj. Timothy Wright, officer in charge, Wounded Warrior Battalion East. “They share stories and realize that it’s not just them that have had the issues that they sustained.” Although there are language barriers it doesn’t stop any of the 2018 Marine Corps Trials athletes from getting to know one another.

“We’re always laughing, joking and the one thing that brings it home is we all have very similar lived experiences as military members.”

“At the end of the day it doesn’t matter, I want to represent my country, share communion and fellowship with the other veterans and I want to be an inspiration to my soldiers who are back in Australia struggling with their own injuries,” said Jackson. “I want to show them that it doesn’t matter how many challenges you’ve got or how old you are. When someone says do you want to do this you say [heck] yeah, put your hand up and just go for it.” The Wounded Warrior Regiment Warrior Athlete Reconditioning Program works every day with Marines and Sailors to further their recovery. The Marine Corps Trials provides a chance to display these efforts and the importance of adaptive sports to a greater population.

“One of the things I had to face as a recovering service member myself is that I had to readapt to my injuries, how to lift weights again and how to play golf again.” Maj.Timothy Wright

“One of the things I had to face as a recovering service member myself is that I had to readapt to my injuries, how to lift weights again and how to play golf again,” said Wright. “[The athletes are] doing the same things and realizing it actually works. It’s part of the confidence building of the trials showing that they’re not broken, they can continue to do what they love.”
