arine Aircraft Group 31 pilots attend a month long Weapons Training Instructor course aboard Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Ariz., March. Pilots of MAG31, statinoned aboard MCAS Beaufort, participated in and supported the top

level flight school for Marine Corps aviation to become subject matter experts and instructors for their respective platforms of aviation. The F/A-18C Hornet and F/A18-D Hornet pilots who attended the flight school will graduate as a WTI, able to pass on everything they learned to their squadrons, ensuring the Hornet community of MCAS Beaufort is mission ready.

“The pilots who graduate WTI will be able to bring everything they learn back to the fleet as a certified instructor and subject matter expert on the F-18,” said Maj. Brian Layman, a pilot with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251 and previous EA-6B Prowler WTI graduate. “The WTI course not only makes them experts on their respective aircraft, but also on the integration of other flight

platforms in co-operative missions.” The month long flight school begins with a week of classroom instruction including all the fixed wing aircraft, rotary wing aircraft and other assets. After that the pilots will separate into their specific community of aircraft. “As the course progresses, the pilots

Hebron the sergeant major of H&HS. “I want all of my Marines to return from daily liberty, weekend or holiday periods safely, and ready to work towards completing the mission. If used, this program should lower the number of DUI’s and alcohol related incidents to zero for this installation.”

LtCol Commandant William W. Burrows rode with president Thomas Jefferson to look for “a proper place to fix the Marine Barracks on.” President Jefferson was a personal friend of the Commandant, and deeply interested in the welfare of the Corps and accompanied Burrows on horseback on the morning of 31 March. They chose a square in Southeast Washington, bounded by 8th and 9th streets, and a & I streets, because it lay near the Navy Yard and was within easy marching distance of the Capitol.

Command Information

The leadership of Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron is taking the initiative to protect its Marines. The Arrive Alive program offers a solution for Marines who ever have to make the decision to get behind the wheel while drunk because they do not have money for a cab. The program is an initiative for active duty Marines and sailors with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron to return to the air station without drunk driving. “If a Marine has one too many drinks but cannot afford to pay for a taxi back to base he can utilize the arrive alive program,” said Cpt. Paul J. Stephens, the adjutant for MCAS Beaufort. “The program allows Marines with H&HS to get a taxi back to base. When back on base the taxi will go to the staff duty officer who will pay for the ride out of funds appropriated for the program.” If the program is used, the Marine has a grace period of two paycheck periods to repay the command the cost of the taxi. If a Marine needs a ride back to base but is not with attached to H&HS a ride will still be provided. Instead of the SDO, the taxi will go to the Marines unit and the duty officer for that unit will pay for the ride. If the unit does not have sufficient funds to pay for the ride H&HS will pay for the ride and be reimbursed by the Marine. “To ensure that Marines realize this program is safe to use. They will not be charged with public intoxication,” said Stephens. “Our priority is to get Marines back on base without causing harm to themselves or anyone else.” The program is an option available to Marines who need to get back to base. The first priority of the

MCAS Beaufort hosts Montford Point Marine Association ceremony

Col. Peter Buck presents the Congressional Gold Medal certificate of recognition to retired Sgt. Maj. Julius Jameson aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, March 25. Jameson accepted the medal on behalf of the late Willis Jameson, a Montford Point Marine. The Congressional Gold Medal is one of the highest awards given to civilian in the U.S. Buck is the commanding officer of MCAS Beaufort. Story and photos by: Lance Cpl. Ashley Phillips Staff Writer

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort hosted the presentation ceremony of a Congressional Gold Medal to the family of a Montford Point Marine at the Lasseter theater aboard MCAS Beaufort, March 25. The presentation ceremony was planned and

organized by the National Montford Point Marine Association Beaufort Chapter 9. Col. Peter Buck, the commanding officer of MCAS Beaufort, presented the medal to the family of Willis Jameson, a Montford Point Marine; the award was presented posthumously. The Congressional Gold Medal is one of the highest awards given to civilian in

the U.S. “Today we are here to honor a Marine and his family,” said Tyrone Jackson the President of the Beaufort chapter. “As a Montford Point chapter our goal is to promote and preserve the history and experiences of the first African American Marines to serve in the Marine Corps. This Congressional Gold Medal presentation

is something that the Jameson family deserves to see.” President Barrack Obama signed into law that all Marines of Montford point would be recognized for their contribution to the Marine Corps and United States with the Congressional Gold Medal. “Several hundred Montford Point Marines attended a ceremony in the District of Columbia where President Barrack Obama presented them with their medals,” said Jackson. “But some were unable to attend for various reasons, so our chapter has tracked down several since then and held ceremonies. It’s important to give them their dues. You work hard in the Marine Corps and you’re going to be rewarded accordingly.” According to Jackson, 35th Commandant General James Amos was invited to attend the Montford Point Marine Association’s annual program. After receiving a respectful and welcome reception there he left, vowing to ensure the history of the Montford Point Marines was not forgotten and they were given the proper recognition. “They answered our nation’s call despite our society being deeply divided along racial lines,” said Amos. “To me, they were heroic for two reasons: they fought against the enemy during World War II while they also fought for their civil rights and the respect of their fellow Americans.” After Buck presented the Congressional Gold Medal to retired Sgt. Maj. Julius Jameson, Jackson gave a brief on the history of Montford Point. The evening concluded with musical performances in tribute to the Jameson family. “I am deeply honored to be participating in the presentation to the Jameson family; thank you for this privilege,” said Buck. “This award not only places Willis Jameson and the Montford Point Marines among the ranks of great Americans, but it also places him among the great Americans who made significant contributions to the civil rights movement.”

According to the DOD Tobacco Policy, prices in the U.S. including territories and possessions shall reflect the prevailing local price in the community, including the effect of all applicable taxes that local consumers pay when purchasing tobacco. Prices of cigarettes and other tobacco products for sale aboard naval vessels are set based on Navy Exchange tobacco prices at the ship’s homeport. Prices of tobacco products at overseas military exchanges shall fall within the range of prevailing prices for that same product established in outlets of the defense retail systems inside the United States. According to the memorandum, the prices at the air station are expected to go up approximately 18 percent from $4.79 to $5.65 and smokeless tobacco will go up appproximately 6.6 percent. In the continental U.S., the price increases range from a low of 14 percent in North Carolina to a high of 69 percent at Camp Pendelton, Calif. The price change will include all forms of tobacco such as cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, E-cigarettes and vaping. The purpose of the change is to strengthen the tobacco cessation campaign and improve force readiness. The DOD is committed to advancing the health, productivity, and readiness of the armed forces and is making efforts to prevent initiation of tobacco use, help those who want to quit, and decrease exposure to second-hand smoke, according to the DOD. Because price is a significant factor in tobacco cessation decisions, the DOD believes this policy will make a mean-

ingful improvement in the health of our armed forces.

move from classroom settings, to flight exercises that become increasingly more complex,” said Layman. “They will start exercises that incorporate multiple flight platforms and simulated ground units.” The WTI course is held biannually. Pilots who attend the course must complete a myriad of requirements to be selected for the course. Flight hours, evaluations by MAWTS-1 instructors, Marine Division and Tactics Course graduation and a mission leader are just a few of the requirements to even be considered. “The biggest concern with these pilots is making sure that their proficiency with the F-18 is at a standard where they can integrate with other flight platforms and ground units,” said Layman. “They have to have the tactics, knowledge and experience to be able to provide close air support for our ground units and artillery in very close proximity.” In recent years the F/A-18 Hornet aircraft community has specialized in providing CAS for infantry units. It takes experience, sound judgment, and countless hours of training to have the precision and confidence to work cohesively and complete missions with Marines on the ground in a Marine Air-Ground Task Force. “Ultimately these pilots will have the expertise to come back to their squadron and provide the training required to carry out our missions,” said Layman. “The goal is to pass on everything that we learn. These pilots have already proved themselves as leaders. Now they will take what they learn and make their squadron pilots the sharpest and most tactically proficient pilots. Our Marines on the ground will have full confidence, knowing the guys above them in the aircraft are the best that the Marine Corps has to offer.”
