A trauma most military.iami:lies face at one time or another is separation while the military
meJTiber of the family participates in out-of-area operations. These periods of separation-can b.e
particulatly difficult for those left behind when other than ordinary problems pop up.
To al!lsist w_ives and families here at .K-Bay while husbands and fathers ar€0 deploy~d to the
Western Pacific, Mainland, and other overseas locations, most individual components of the
brigade have established liaisons who can help bridge the gap between the military world and the
dependent.
"Primarily what we do .is help with the sort of problems the dependents' husbands would
handle ifthey were home,!' says Captain Frank Walker, who has been assigned the task of helping families of deployed Marines and sailors from t)le Tl]ird Marine Rt<giment. Captain Walker
estima~es that he and Gunnery Sergeant Sandie wh9 assists with the program for regimental
families,_spend close to 30 per cent of their work week handling this sort of busi"ess.
Similar assistance is offered to families of deployed Marine Aircraft Group (MAG)-24
personnel by.Master Sergeant Jerry Copk ofthe MAG adm~nistrative section, "Although wives
fr.om some of the individual deploying sq.uadrons sometimes organize their own self-help
programs, we can still be ca)led upon to answer questions about ide!ltification card issue,
station housing·maintC?nance, allotments, coordinating leave dates for dependents who might
want t() visit their husbands overseas, and a number of other family pr.oblems," says MSgt.
Cook.
Inquiries from dependents of•Marines and sailors deployed from Brigade Service Support
Group (BSSG) <;an be directed througnthe BSSG adjutant's office.
To contact Capt. Walker or GySgt. Sandie of the Third Marine Regiment,_call257-2017.
MSgt. Cook ofMAG~24 can be-reached at257·2012, 2li7-2285,-or257-3241, and the]lumberfor
the BSSG adjutant is 257-2911.
During those times of difficu.Jt sep~ration,_ it's nice to know that the well-worn phrase "We
take care of our own"•is a practice, not just a slogan.

Pendleton units to .deploy_to

Starting next month, the Marine Corps'Unit Deployment
Program will be expanded tq include units ,of the 1st Marine.
Division, Camp Penoleton, Calif. They will begin rotating
between CONUS- and WestPac on .s ix-month temporary
'additional duty (TAD) deployments.
The result of t'he Commandant's decision is that eventually
most air and ground combat Marines will not face 12-month,
unaccompanied oveis~as tour~ in 'westPac.
During-February, the 1st B_attalion, 5th Marine Regiment
(1/5), will be airlifted from Camp Pendleton to .Okinawa to
~relieve 2/9, w.hich will then relocate to Camp Pendleton.
.Ess·entially the two battalions will switch living and work
spaces. Afte~ If 5's six-month TAD; they will be replaced by
2/5, which will later be relieved by 3/5. The rotation cycle
runs its .full CO\lrse when 2/9 .returns to relieve 3/ 5,
The ·cyc!e continues, so that each participating battalion
will have gone overseas twice ove~ a four-year period, on sixmonth ds:ployments at two-year interv11ls,
General Louis H. Wilson also decided to assign Mediterranean deployment commitments to the &th Marine Regiment, 2d Marine Division, Camp Lejeune, N.C. As a result
of the Commandant's decision, the 1st Battalion, 8th
Marines will be the first of the regime~t's three battalions
scheduled to embark on a Mediterranean cruise during May.·
·This mo.ve frees- C:::amp -L~jeune's Qd ami 6th Marine -Regi-
rrients to take part in subseq~ent vii estPac unit deployments.
These two tegiments will deploy, directly from Camp
Lejeune, with the first deploy!flents slati!d for the fall of 1981.
The Commandant's decision means that Marines assigned
to the 8t-h Regiment can expect two six-month Mediterranean assignments during a normal, three-year to].lr. This
will result in a new overseas tour date when they leave the 8th·
Marines, since during that tour they would hav.e been
deployed for a total of one yea-r,('"'- ·
·T he first phase of the Corps' Unit Deployment. Program
began_in October 1917, ·wqen the '1st Battalion, 4th Marine' .
Regiment, was relocated to Twentynine Palms, Calif. At the
same time·the Marine C.orps began deploying battalion landing teams frpm the 3d Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Brigade
out of Hawaii for six-month WestPac tours. The 3d Marine ·
Regiment remains in that cy.cle as ·part of the Jist Marine
Amphibious Unit, which deploys aboard amphibious ready
group ships.
Unit deployments between WestPac and CONUS for air
and ground combat Marines was one of the Commandant's
first prioriti<ls when he assumed office in July 1975. "Over the
years, the Marine Corps found a disproportionately large
amount of its forces stationed in West:Pac on 12-month,
unaccompanied tours," a spokesman for the Commandant
said.
About 14.5 percent of the Marine Corps- some 28,000
Marines -were serving 12-month WestPac tours at any one
time, the•spokesman said. "When full implementation of the
ki
deployment program is complete, we expect that figure to
drop below eight per cent in WestPac."
By mid-1979 all helicopter.squadrons.in Wes.t Pac will be
provided by six-month-iieploym_e nts E]f>CON'US and Hawaiibased units and by mid-1980 th~ same will be true of all fixed
wing squadrons in WestPac.
•
While the program involves the eventu~l relocation to
CONUS of all ground a,nd air .combat units historically
based at Iwakuni and Okinawa, the 'basic composition of the
Marine force level in We~tPac will remain ~he same,
There are' several advantages to the deployment program,
the most obvious being that it saves tbe Marine Corps
permanent change Qf stati<?n moves, with so.me 5~900 having
been eliminated already.
The program also he1ps improve unit morale, the spokesman said. He said the Marine Corps did studies which
sl).owed...that.in the past, the average amount oftime a Marine
·stayed with any FMF unit was about nine months. Junior
officers (company-leve,l) and their troops were ony together
an average of four months.
"By_keeping .Mat:ines of .a unit together for two or threeyear periods, they develop a: feeling-for the unit and a better
working relationship," he-said.
".At the same time, we hope to improve tl).e stability of a
Marine's family. Families -will not l?e forced to move as often
:as they have in the past and separations will not l;le as long.
It's just the idea that a six-month separation is a lot easier to
take than one of 12 months;" he said.

SWAMP ED - Due to prolonged rain over the past'
weekend, _ Marines from Brigade Service Support'
Group (BS~G) put in some extra hours this week to:
help clear the first and second fairways at the golf
course here. The BSSG Marines used a bulk fued
pump, part of an amphibious assault fuel system and
capable of d.isplacing 600 gallons of water per minute,
to clear the fairways. This is the second time in the past
two months that this lowest part of the course has
required artificial help to help drainage.
Naval helo pilots go Army
Marine and Navy helicopter pilot candidates will
train with Army helicopter students at· Fort Rucker,
Ala., beginning Oct. I, 1979.
This is one of several changes to Marine and naval
flight training programs announced by Secretary of
the Navy, W. Graham Claytor Jr.
In the past, Marine and Navy helicopter pilot
trainees had been schooled at the Navy's Whiting
Field in Pensacola, Fla. The training at Ft. Rucker will
include specialized instruction required for unique
naval and Marine Corps operations.
The Secretary also announced plans to begin using
the aircraft carrier USS Lexington for aviation training, cancelling a decision made last February to retire
the ship in mid-1979.
All Navy primary undergraduate fixed-wing pilot
training will be conducted at Whiting Field. Training
Squadron 27 (VT -27), based at the Naval Air Station,
Corpus Christi, Tex., will be disestablished after Oct.
I. Marine and Navy undergraduate pilot candidates
who trained with VT-27 will begin flying the T-34C
aircraft at Whiting Field.

It will be "business as usual" for theN avy at
Pearl Harbor - even after the planned disestablishment of the 62-year-old naval district
headquarters on June 30.
Secretary of the Navy W. Graham Claytor
Jr. announced yesterday in Washington, D.C.
that COMFOURTEEN will be disestablished
due to budgetary reductions and a congressional recommendation to reduce the number
of nav.al district headqua-rters throughout the
Navy.
Since its establishment on May I 7, 1916,
COMFOURTEEN has had 43 commandants,
two of whom, Admiral Thomas B. Hayward
and Admiral Donald ·c. Davis are now,
respectively, the Chief of Naval Operations
(CNO) and commander-in-chief, U.S. Pacific
Fleet.
The present - arid last - commandant is
Rear Admiral R.S. Wentworth Jr. of Annapolis, Md., whose primary assignment is as
commander of Na\lal Base Pearl Harbor.
Admiral Wentworth. "Our basic mission- to
support the fl.:_et - will remain unchanged."
During the last 10 years, the COM FOURTEEN staff has been gradually reduced from
70 officers to 9, and maRy of the district's
missions and tasks have been taken over by
other commands. The headquarters staff has
been reduced ·in the last two years, by attrition
and reductions in force, from 16 officers, 22
enlisted•and 46 civilian positions to 9 officers,
1"3 enlisted personnel and 34 civilians.

The Anti-tank Platoon of Battalion Landingleam (BL T) 3/3 has the distinction of being the first unit of ~he First Marin~: Brig~de to deploy wj~h the
M-47 Anti-tank (Dragon) Missile.
.
.
The Dragon Platosm of BLT 3/3 can also boast that all etght of thetr
gunners qualified· a~ experts on the Dragon simulator equipment. The
qualification consisted of 60 firings at targets moving at 10, 15, and 25 miles
per hour. In order to qualify as expert you must not miss more than three
times. The platoon's outstanding shooter was Lance Corporal Jeff Waddel
who scored a hit on all 60 times.
The Dragon has replace.d the 106mm recoil~ss rifle as the main $inii-tank
weapon in the infantry battalion.
Comparing the Dragon to the "106", Corp.oral David L. Jones says, "I
would take the Dragon any day over the 106mm recoilless rifle. I know I can
lock-on, track and hit a tank ai 1,000 meters regardless of how fast it moves."
Lance .Corporal Steven Richmond asserts, "I have no doubt about the
'Dragon's ability over the '106'. Whether through the jungles of the
Philippines or over the mountains of Korea, w.e've proyen we can take the
Dragon anywhere."
The knowledge that BLT 3/3 is one of the first units to carry the Dragon
gives their platoon a special kind of pride.

WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT- Marines, their families
and invited gJJests board the USS Belleau Wood at
.Pearl Har-b or F.riday, Jan. 12. One of five ships ofthis
type,··this general purpose amphibious assault ship
,
(LHA) carries a crew of 850 enlisted men and 54
officers, and can comfortably accommodate 1,900
Marines.
Brigade Marines and their famifies had a real treat Friday, Jan. 12, as the
general purpose amphibious assault ship (LHA)-3 USS Belleau Wood
docked at Pear-l Harbor and was opened for visits.
The combination open house and family day was designed to familiarize
deploying Marines with this type ship as well as give their families an idea of
shipboard' conditions for their loved ones on their upcoming deployment.
The units whieh participated in a combat readiness evaluation on I_<:auai
this week were Battalion Landing Team 2d Battalion, Third Marines (BL T
2/3), Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron (Composite)- 262 and Logistics
Support Unit Hotel. These units, which operated from the Belleau Wood as
the 35th Marine Amphibious Unit, will soon deploy ~o the Western Pacific as
part of the normal brigade rotation plan.
The LHAs, of which five were built, are a uniqueconcept in that they were
designed specifically to carry an entire BLT and its equipment. Their
features include improved troop living spaces and an automated off-loaqing
system that will enable the Marines to'get their supplies ashore more quickly
and efficiently.
Built in Pascagoula, Miss., and commissioned on September 23 of last
year, the Belleau Wood is 820 feet long and I06 feet wide.

new ma.rks
As of Jan. I, all Marine commands will b.e evaluated under a new
system during inspections by the I nspeclor-General of the Marine Corps.
Marks of "Ou~standing," "Excellent," .or.Above Average," ''Average/ '
"Belqw Average," or "Unsatisfactory," will be given commands according to their compliance with doctri.ile, policies and procedures of the
Commandant and other higher authority.
Marks of "Outstanding" will be awarded when the area or function
inspected is among the best the Inspector-General's team has seen anywhere in the Marine Corps.
A niar·k of "Excellent," a difficult grade to attain, will be awarded to
commands that comply with the doctrine, policies and procedures of the.
·Commandant or other higher authority.
"Above Average" marks will be given to commands complying with
those poi.icies and procedures, exc~pt for minor discrepancies. No
unfavorable trends can be detected if a comt;nand is to acrueve this mark.
If trend discrepancies are detected in complying with policies and pro-cedures,. an "Average" mark will be awarded.
"Below Average" marks will be given to commands where numerous
trend discrepancies are detected in critical functional areas.
If a command is not complying with policies and procedures, or there

c·Mc
approves
uniform
changes
Three new items Marines can look forward to are: improved and less expensive
camouflage utilities, rubber-soled oxfords
for women, and physical training uniforms.
The Commandant recently approved
these recommendations from the permanent
Marine Corps Uniform Board at Headquarters Marine Corps.
The Commandant also agreed with the
Uniform Board's recommendation not to
chattge rank insignia for warrant officers at
this time. Results of a survey among warrant
officers indicated no overwhelming majority
favoring any change.
The new camouflage utilities will h!lve the
same general design, colors and pocket
arrangements as those presently worn, but
should provide better concealment against a
forest background. The new utility fabric is
heat-signature resistant al).d thus less easily
.detectable by infrared devices. The utllities
will be made of 50 percent cotton and 50 percent nylon-woven twill, which dries easier, is
more durable and fades less after multiple
washings. Knees, elbows and buttocks areas
will be reinforced for longer wear. The new
uniforms are expected to cost four to six
dollars less than the I 978 priced utilities.
TJle ~1arine ~orps has decided to adopt
rubber-soled·oxfords for women after reject-
;ing the idea two years ago. Wear-testing by
Women throughout the ·Marine Corps pro•guced favorable opinions for ru~ber-soled
shoes. :rhey found them .more comfortable
·than the standard leather-soled oxfords, ·
.longer wearing and providing better traction
on all su~::faces.
Although the call for uniform "PT gear"
has become increasingly popular, Corps
officials have had difficulty figuring out an
effi<jent and economical way to get them
issued to indivldual Marines. The
Uniform Board is studying several ways to
issue "PT" uniforms and they· expect the first.
such uniforms will probably be available to
Marines within a year. - MC News
White letter urges
tighter g ea r control
General Louis H. Wilson, Commandant of the Marine Corps, says commanders must keep tighter control over gov.ernment property in their charge.
The Commandanfs instructions ca.rne via White Letter 15-78, in which he
told commanders to keep closer tabs on organizational p·rop!!rtY such as sunglasses, flight jackets, boots and gloves. His lett~r was prompted by Congressional .action which cut. tht; Marine Corp~' supply support budget by $2
million for Fiscal Years 1979 and 1980. Congress also instructed the General
Accounting Office to conduct extensive investigations of management,
. utiliza-tiort and controls of government property..
"I am certain that this reminder (the White Letter), along with the firm
application of existing contr9ls, will preclude the necessity for any further
Congressional action or criticism," says the Commandant. - 1\fC Ne~s

A LITTLE DAB WILL DO IT - Corporal Shelton Johnson of Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron was one ofthe volunteers to help paint

Maintenance
Pub lic Wo rks Marines he lp ke-ep sta tion look-ing b e tter Did you ever take a look around your office and-think of a
.small building project that would improve the appearance
and working conditions, hut the tools and material just
·weren't available? If so, the Public W or~·s Military Maintenance and Self-Help Section in Building 201 might be able t...o
help.
·
"We take care of any building or renovation project that
isn't given out to civilians on a contract," explains Master
Gunnery Sergeant Wayne Carter, assistant facilities offic~r.
The decision of whether or not a project is contracted out
is made at Maintenance ControL
"An office would first submit a self-help work order to
Maintenance Control," said Carter. "They would decide if it
gets contracted or qualifies as a self-help project If it comes
.under self-help, the work order comes to us."
Carter explained the first determination is if the person
requesfing to do. the work knows how to do ·the work
correctly.
·
·
"Many projects we get are beyond the average person's
working knowledge. Wlien th.is occurs," continued· Carter,
"we offer technical assistance or sometimes do ~he work
ourselves."
The technical a.ssistance comes from one or more ofthe 12
Marines assigned to the section. Their duties range from
painting or building shelves to making counter tops and
cabinets. Additionally, Military Maintenance cares for the
lawn equipment used in the daily upkeep of office yards. ·
"This is one of the most complete and extensive self-help
progr.ams in the Marine Corps,"·said MGySgt, Carter. "We
have.a lot of good equipment and efficient Marines to use it."
During I 978 more than 700 work reque~ts were fil.ed at
Maintenance Control. Ofthose, the Marine~ of the Military
Maintenance anti Self-Help Section did !50 of them.
"Two projects that · were really big were the dog kennels
and the water pipe to the rifle range," Carter said. "The
.kennels are waiting for more ma~erial b_ut the pipe is finish ed.
It kept t>reaking so we put in stronger pipe to handle the
tremendous pressure. Now it works great."
Other projects scheduled for this year include installing
sidewalks for the handball and tennis courts and replacing
the fence on Pond ·Road.
If you need more information, or just need some technical
advice call the Mi!i~arr Maipien.a!}ce l).nd Self-Help Section
at 257-2M 6 or stop by Bldg. 20 t and ask the experts.

Warehouse
Special Services h·as gear to loan
By LCpJ. Randy Daugherty
"How's it going, John?"
"Not too bad, Mark. Did you here about the three-day weekend
co.ming up?''
"Yeah, do you have any plans?"
"I think the wife and I are going to go camping at the beach and do
some snorkeling and sun bathing. Would you and your wife like to go?"
"No, I don't think so, we don't have any camping gear."
"That's okay, ·neither .do we. But the Special Services Warehouse has
all kinds of gear available for active duty military. "
"I don't think'/ can .afford to rent any gear either."
"Its not rented, its loaned . .. free."
"Well then, where are we going camping?"
How many times-have you wanted to do something, like go camping, but
didn't have or couldn't borrow the equipment. The Special SerVices Warehouse solves that problem with a wide variety 'of recreational equipment
available for temporary loan.
Two types of gear are available at the warehouse, temporary loan and
seasof\al. The temporary loan gear varies from snorkeling and various
camping gear to scuba tanks, backpacks and every kind of racket imaginable.
The seasonal gear includes uniforms and equipment for intramural sports.
To check out gear from the Special Services Warehouse, an indivdual has
to go to the Special-Services representative in his unit. The representative will
give him three check out forms to be taken to the "gear issue" window at the
warehouse. There, the individual will receive and sign for the gear he
requested. The special Services representative must check out any seasonal or
large amounts of gear.
All equipment is loaned out on a first come, first serve basis for seven-day
periods. "When the gear is checked out, it is expected that the indi\'_duals will
·take good care of the equipment and not abuse it," stated Staff Sergeant
Allen Dent. NCOIC of the warehouse," but some of the gear comes ·back
damaged. If the gear was. damaged due to neglect, the individual may
be asked to replace it," he explained.
·
The Special Services ·Warehouse is also concerned with the needs of
deploying units. To prevent shipboard life from becoming dull and
.monotonous, the warehouse offers deployment packages for their use. A
deployment package is a recreation kit which includes table games such as
Monopoly, rook, checkers, chess and cards. It the unit requests certain typeS:
of games, the warehouse will attempt to obtain them. The deployments·
pas;kages are also checked out to the unit Special Services representative.
I' he warehouse also checks out gear to units tor barrac.ks recreation rooms.
"We supply pool tables, ping pong tables, foosball tables and televisions,"
explaihed Dent. The recreation room gear is also loaned out on a first come
first serve basis. When a unit calls and requests a pool table or other gear they
are listed. When the warehouse gets the gear, they give it out according to the
waiting list.
"The gear is for everyone's use," stressed.Dent. So remember, the next time
you need recreational equipment for anything from a unit party to a friendly
one-on:-.one baskethall game, chec.k wit.h t.Pe SP...eQaLS.ex.Y;.i~ :W.aJ.e!louse.
They are located behind the Hobby Shop and open Monday through Friday
from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.

DEPENDENTS BAQ
Marines-receiving Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ) on behalf of children not living within
their houshold must provide support in aco.tdance with the Department of l!lefense-Military Pay
and Allow.ance Entitlements Manual.
Marines are required t9 meet support obligations establ~shed in a divorce decree in order to
receive BAQ payments. If support paym·ents are not stipulated in the ·divorce decree, Marines
must provide support at the rate of their BAQ.with dep·endents, unless a lesser amount is agreed
to in writing between the Marine and the custodian of the children.
Marines who are the parents of illegitimate cnildren must also meet these requirements in
order to receive BAQ_ The amount of this en..titlement varies·, but increase when BAQ rates
increase.
Marines desiring complete information concerning dependent support should contact their
commanding officer or CMC (Code MSPA-2). - MC News

DOD SEEK~ DIRECT DEALING WITH ALLIES
Dod has asked Congress for authorify to deal directly with other NATO governments in
getting logistical support from allies un-der NATO's standardization and interoperability
program-·
Cur.rent American law specifies obtaining ·support.from our allies through contracts or foreign
military sales contracts t)lat do not differentiate between commercia:!· contracts and ·
governments.
•
Some-allies feel strongly about certain clauses in "American contracts - :•officials not to
benefit, contingent fees; gratuities -" feeling · they can handle wrongdoing and it is both
unnecessary and undesirable in arrangements between gov.ermp.ents.
"We want to be able to service each others' tanks, arni each others' fighters, refuel each others'
vehicles, transport each others' supplies, and take other steps that will ensure the-best possible
support to our respective com bat forc~s in peace and war," Lt. Gen Arthur J. Gregg, the J CS J -4,
explained to a House Armed. Services subcommittee. - AFPSI
