The air station pilots train with ordnance at Townsend Bombing Range, Ga. TBR gives the air station the critical capability to train to deploy without deploying to train. Earlier this year Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort began to the process of assuming operational responsibility of TBR. Though MCAS Beaufort owns the land it was previously operated by the Guard. The air station will formally assume operations later this year. The Marines are with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 312 and Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 533, Marine Aircraft Group 31.

A controller conducted a downed pilot training exercise at Townsend Bombing Range, Ga., Feb. 11, 2015. Earlier this year Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort began to the process of assuming operational responsibility of TBR. Though MCAS Beaufort owns the land it was previously operated by the Guard. The air station will formally assume operations later this year. Many of the personnel who currently work for the Guard will be rehired by the air station.

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort is in the process of assuming operational responsibility of Townsend Bombing Range (TBR) located in Georgia. This process began on April 1, and is scheduled to be completed by Oct. 1. The air station already owns the land at TBR, but the Georgia Air National Guard is responsible for organizing and running operations. Over the next several months, MCAS Beaufort will work with the Guard to ensure a smooth transition between the commands. “There is a lot of work that goes into not only operating TBR, but also into making sure this transition is seamless,” said Troy Ward, the TBR Program Manager. “It takes a lot of communication, personnel, and foresight to operate a remote installation that is 70 miles away from MCAS Beaufort; most importantly, everything is running according to plan and we are on schedule.” Ownership and responsibility of TBR has

changed several times since its establishment during World War II. In 1959, it was controlled by Hunter Air Force Base, then in 1966, Naval Air Station Glynco owned the bombing range. The Marine Corps began leasing and using the range in 1981. It wasn’t until ten years later in 1991 that MCAS Beaufort began to purchase the land. “We currently own 5,183 acres that make up TBR,” said Ward. “In 2014 the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was approved for the expansion and modernization of TBR. We are scheduled to expand the range to over 35,000 acres by 2019.” According to Ward, the Deputy Secretary of the Navy approved the EIS and in 2014 and in 2016, Congress appropriated over $110 million to expand and modernize the range. Expanding TBR is necessary to provide the adequate

VMFAT-501 Marines hone skills during Instructor Pilot Proficieny Training Story and photos by: Lance Cpl. Benjamin McDonald Staff Writer

Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 conducted Instructor Pilot Proficiency Training aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, April 11. The instructor pilots are responsible for ensuring the F-35B Lightning II pilots are syllabus complete. The IPP training covered the use of Joint Direct Attack Munitions. JDAM are additions to ordnance that use GPS to guide the projectile. The use of JDAM will be added to the F-35B training

syllabus as a core competency. “The syllabus is always changing,” said Maj. Jesse Peppers, an F-35B pilot instructor with VMFAT-501. “The next thing we want to add is the use of JDAM. So today, some of the instructors are going to practice with inert JDAM so they can be experienced with the use of the new munition. As instructors, we need to be proficient with all of the core competencies of the syllabus in order to teach transition and new pilots. see

The Power of Forgiveness

By Chaplain Joseph (Joe) Wilburn, LCDR, CHC, USN, Command Chaplain, MCAS Beaufort

We all have wounds sometimes, whether they are emotional, physical, or spiritual. Some may be small and relatively easy to get over. But other wounds can be big, serious, and deep. These wounds may hurt for days, weeks, months, or even years. Wounds like this can become a part of us and impact our life. So what should we do when we are hurt by others? Should we try to get even? Should we forgive? We learn from the Bible to not condemn and we will not be condemned, and to forgive and we will be forgiven (Luke 6:37). If we insist on get-ting even and seek revenge, I wonder if that is like saying that we can handle this better than God. The Bible also teaches us that God will do the judging, that God will take care of it (Romans 12:19). The question is – do we trust that God will ultimately take care of everything? Are any of us perfect? No. That means that all of us at times have wounded someone and been wounded by someone. So there are times when we all need to forgive and be forgiven. So what is forgiveness? It is important to understand what forgiveness is and what it is not. Forgiving does not always mean forgetting. Forgiveness does not mean that there are no consequences. It’s not the same as pretending that unacceptable behavior is acceptable. If we forgive someone, it doesn’t mean that we no longer feel pain or that we are finished

grieving. Forgiveness does not always immediately lead to trust and reconciliation. So, what does it mean to forgive someone? Forgiveness is like a cancelled debt. It means giving up the perceived right to get even, giving up the attitude that “you owe me.” Of course, this is all easier said than done. For minor mistakes and offenses, we might be able to forgive quickly. We can try to accept others’ imperfections and remember our own flaws. But for more major offenses and betrayals, we might need to go slowly and get help and support from others to work towards forgiving someone. We can remind ourselves that the relationship with our loved one or friend is more important than the offense. We can also remember the times we have needed forgiveness and seek to develop compassion for the other person. We should take the time we need, patiently work through any painful feelings, and then strive to forgive and move forward. Forgiveness is really more about the one forgiving than the one being forgiven. There are many benefits to forgiving others. Forgiveness overcomes bitterness and helps us move beyond pain. Forgiveness can increase our capacity for love and make reconciliation possible. When we forgive someone and set them free, it’s like we’re really setting ourselves free. There has been a great deal of research about forgiveness, not only

Tri-Command Weather 7-Day Forecast

from a spiritual perspective but also in the context of counseling and education. Research has shown that forgiveness interventions in counseling are successful in treating many problems, including substance abuse and addiction, anger and depression, and relationship problems. Research indicates that some of the benefits of forgiveness are: 1) happier marriages and families, 2) better emotional and physical health, 3) lower levels of anger and hostility, and 4) reduction in stress responses and other behaviors related to cardiovascular disease. Forgiving leads to personal growth and progression in many ways. Forgiveness takes courage and strength. When we forgive, we try to see things from the other’s perspective and to develop increased empathy and understanding. Also, even though forgiving is not the same as forgetting, we try to stop dwelling on the past. Although we may till remember that we were wronged, we no longer hold it against the other person. We choose to let it go. Forgiveness is a liberating gift we can give to the other person and to ourselves. Is there someone in your life you need to forgive? My hope and prayer is that each of us can remember when we have needed forgiveness from God and others, that we can forgive as we have been forgiven, that we can give to others what has been given to us, and that we can set someone free and in the process set ourselves free too.

An F-35B Lighting II aircraft flies aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, January 27. The F-35B aircraft of MCAS Beaufort use precision guided missiles at Townsend Bombing Range as a part of their training syllabus. Earlier this year Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort began to the process of assuming operational responsibility of TBR. Though MCAS Beaufort owns the land it was previously operated by the Guard. The air station will formally assume operations later this year. The F-35B aircraft is with Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501, Marine Aircraft Group 31.

Col. Peter Buck speaks to U. S. Congressman Earl L. Carter with a representative from the Georgia Air National Guard about the plans to expand Townsend Bombing Range, March 31, 2016. In 2014 and 2016 congress appropriated $110 million to expand and modernize TBR. Earlier this year Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort began to the process of assuming operational responsibility of TBR. Though MCAS Beaufort owns the land it was previously operated by the Guard. The air station will formally assume operations later this year. Buck is the commanding officer of MCAS Beaufort.

facilities and training space required to fully train pilots to use inert, precision guided munitions. It also ensures that MCAS Beaufort is prepared to fulfill all of its core mission tasks. “Once we finish expansion our Fleet Replacement Squadron of F-35B Lightning II pilots will be able to complete 100% of their training syllabus here at MCAS Beaufort,” said Ward. “Using PGMs is one of our pilot’s core capabilities. Having more space will allow them to train as they fight, using the weapons and tactics they will use in combat.” Before MCAS Beaufort formally assumes operational responsibility the systems currently in use at TBR need to be modernized. MCAS Beaufort will also hire more per-

sonnel and establish a Marine Corps range control facility. Despite all of these changes many of the current personnel and operating procedures will remain the same. “We already have personnel down there job shadowing and learning how to run the range,” said Ward. “For the pilots nothing will change; same range, same airspace, same training and many of the personnel will stay there.” “TBR is an integral part of our flight operations and training here at MCAS Beaufort,” said Col. Peter Buck, the commanding officer of MCAS Beaufort. “While this transition is an important milestone for the air station, our mission remains the same. We will continue to ensure that our pilots have the training they need to be ready to face the challenges of today. TBR gives us the critical range capability to train to deploy without deploying to train.”

It’s the same way on the other side of the house for the infantry Marines. If they want to use a new weapon, then the instructors at the School of Infantry would have to be proficient on it before teaching the students.” The exercise started like any routine flight. The instructor dawned his gear and initiated pre-flight checks on his F-35B. After departing from MCAS Beaufort, the instructors flew to a range in North Carolina to drop the inert ordnance. “We had to use a range in North Carolina because of some of the restrictions on the use of JDAM,” said Peppers. “It is a different experience using the JDAM than using simulated ordnance. You cannot simulate dropping ordnance. We can practice all we want on simulated munitions however, nothing can compare to the feeling of weapons bay doors opening and a piece of ordnance

dropping out.” The F-35B pilot training syllabus is very rigorous, covering core competencies from basic air maneuver to tactics and close air support. Adding JDAM to the core competency weapons employment will help the students get a feel for employing munitions from the F-35B. “The students need to know how it feels to launch munitions,” said Peppers. “The new Category One pilots need it a little more than the transition pilots. The ordnance is held inside the F-35 so it’s different then the F/A18 Hornet aircraft or the AV-8B Harrier II. These new F-35B pilots will have all the tools they need to be successful when they leave MCAS Beaufort. They will be ready to operate as a new element of the Marine Air Ground Task Force and complete the Marine Corps mission.”

VMGR-152, VMFA-121 FUEL CAPABILITIES

Lance Cpl. Keon Willingham detaches a hose from a F-35B Lightning II aircraft during aviation delivered ground refueling training with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 152 at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, April 11. The ADGR marked the first evolution of this form of refueling for VMFA-121’s F-35B Lightning II aircraft, and it increases the squadron’s ability to refuel by C-130 aircraft in austere locations when other resources may not be available.

Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni -- U.S. Marines with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron (VMGR) 152 conducted aviation delivered ground refueling with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121 at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, April 11, 2017. The ADGR marked the first evolution of this form of refueling for VMFA-121’s F-35B Lightning II aircraft. The purpose of the training was to establish flow rates of fuel in gallons per minute distributed to the F-35B Lightning II aircraft by KC-130J Hercules, to see how fast the process would be if used in a real-world scenario. “It felt great to be a part of today’s refueling, it was surreal,” said U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Keon Willingham, a powerline mechanic with VMFA-121. “Being able to participate in the first ADGR with the F-35 is something I can look back on and be eager to tell stories about.” Successfully completing the aviation delivered ground refueling is a landmark that increases the capabilities of the squadron, offering the ability to refuel by C-130 aircraft in austere locations when other resources aren’t available. Despite reaching a milestone in aviation, the training offered more than memories.

“I’m going to take away how multi-face this operation was,” said U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Matthew Schoon, ordnance technician with VMFA-121. “We had to deal with different components from the pilot in a running F-35, to a running KC-130 and Marines from VMGR 152. There was a lot of communication, and I had to keep my head on a swivel the whole time. That’s something I’ll be able to apply in any situation.” The Marines with both squadrons faced issues with the climate but didn’t let it stop them from accomplishing their tasks. “The weather played a big factor in the training today with safety, visibility and communication,” said Schoon. “Training with the engines on the aircraft still running made it very hard to hear so we had to use hand signals. The rain made visibility with eye protection on difficult, so we had to ensure we were being thorough and making safety a priority.” VMFA-121 used the ADGR on the air station as a stepping stone to prepare for real-time refueling in remote locations. “Completing this training is a huge confidence boost for us,” said Willingham. “Being the first to successfully complete this training and being able to do so safely, gives everyone involved the state of mind that they can accomplish anything. We will continue to train, and we will improve anywhere we can.”

A WWII Veteran’s Journey

Through hell and back to tell about it

Marine Capt. Joe Hamlin gives Donald Irwin, a United States Navy World War II veteran, a tour of the Bell AH-1Z Super Cobra aboard Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, April 7. Irwin, who served aboard a number of ships during World War II, fought at Midway and Guadalcanal and survived the sinking of the USS Colhoun during the Battle of Okinawa. Irwin returned to Okinawa and exchanged stories with the Marines and Sailors stationed on the island. Irwin is a San Jose, California native, and Hamlin, a Corbin, Kentucky, native, is a Bell AH-1 Super Cobra pilot with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force.

Story and photos by: Cpl. Amaia Unanue III Marine Expeditionary Force

CAMP HANSEN, OKINAWA, Japan— At 4:30 p.m., April 6, 1946, the United States Ship John C. Colhoun II received a call for help from a ship under kamikaze attack. When the Colhoun sailed toward the vessel in distress, the kamikazes turned on the Colhoun, crashing into the bridge of the ship and sinking it. Navy veteran Donald Irwin survived, but lost 34 shipmates that day, off the coast of Okinawa. On the 72nd anniversary of the Colhoun sinking, Donald returned. “I thought to myself, ‘Am I too old to have a bucket list?’” said Irwin, a 93-year-old, San Jose, California, native. “I’ve always wanted to return to Okinawa.” As he laid a wreath on Toguchi Beach, Okinawa, Japan, in commemoration of the 34 fallen service members, he closed a chapter of his personal journey. During their two weeks on Okinawa, Donald and his wife Geneva toured the Battle of Okinawa Historical Display, the former Japanese Naval Underground Headquarters, and visited active duty Marines and Sailors to tell his story. The veteran’s story reads like a timeline of the Pacific campaign. When the bombs descended on Pearl Harbor, Donald heard them explode. Afterward, the veteran participated in the Battle of Midway, raids on the Marshall Islands, the invasion of the Solomon Islands and the Doolittle raid in Japan. From the beginning of the war until the end, Donald was fighting somewhere in the Pacific. One of the Marines listening was Cpl. Dakota Ford, a field radio operator with Marine Wing Communications Squadron 18, Marine Air Control Group 18, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Ford, who met Donald Irwin at the Camp Foster

United Services Organization building, said he felt humbled to hear the veteran’s story. “Sometimes we complain about us working in a sweaty workshop, but he’s actually been there, taking rounds and sending rounds down range, and watching his buddies to his left and right die, so it’s definitely humbling, and I’ll instill that in my Marines,” said Ford. Donald and Geneva also toured Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st MAW, where they got the chance to see the MV-22B Osprey and ask questions about its development. Donald said he walked in between two lines of Marines, shaking the hands of over 200 service members. He described the moment as overwhelming. “Emotionally, seeing all those people standing in line to meet me was absolutely amazing to me -- that those young people went out of their way to meet me,” said Donald. Throughout this trip, Donald and Geneva said they both felt very honored and welcomed. Donald said his most memorable experience was seeing what Okinawa looked like now and comparing it to the last time he was here. “The last time I was here was, of course, in the dark, and the war was still going on, and things looked messy,” said Donald. “All of the city buildup through 72 years covered up the bad parts. So that made an impression on me.” Not only did Okinawa leave a memorable impression on Donald, but he also said he hopes that he left an impression on the service members stationed in Okinawa. He said he believes the service members here would still be the first to fight. “I say to them, ‘When we were here, we were on the front line,’” Donald said. “And then I tell them, ‘So are you.’”
