Families and Friends of CLR-15(FWD),

Well … I think that there’s only one word that comes to mind when I think about the past month – RAIN !!!
Yes, after months of speculation and staring up at the sky wondering if it could possibly be true – we got
DUMPED ON. Ironically, until this month, it had only sprinkled a few times – usually when the SgtMaj and I
were up at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Edi. And – as luck would have it … that’s exactly where we were
when the skies let loose ! The Forward Resuscitative Surgical System folks quickly voted me off the island. I
think the exact quote was, “You need to leave. You’re like some sort of bad weather talisman – we’re sacrific-
ing you tomorrow if you don’t …”
Needless to say, SgtMaj Belle and I quickly packed our things and bid adieu – jumping on the next available
flight !
And yes – it did stop raining as soon as we returned to Camp Leatherneck.
The rain did present several significant challenges for us. The Marines and Sailors from Security Company
probably saw the worst of it – departing on what was supposed to be a three day trip … which quickly turned
into a two week endeavor. Additionally, our folks in Supply Company almost floated away – however, thanks to
the Engineer Support Battalion most of the water was pumped out a few days later.
When the rain stopped, we took a “fast” ride with RedSox up to FOB Nolay to check on our Marines – they’re
doing amazing things up there in one of the more dangerous “neighborhoods” around these parts. No need to
worry though, they’ve got plenty of watch “dogs” to keep them safe.
We also got to break bread with our Marines and Sailors down at FOB Dwyer this month. Again – they’re all
doing well and really enjoy supporting our folks down south.
We welcomed a new surgical company to our team – the first wave of our brothers and sisters coming to re-
place us from the east coast. Everyone was VERY HAPPY to see them!
This month was not without some significant accomplishments – and a lot of laughs. Maintenance Company
FINALLY fixed Medusa – will let them tell you all about it. They also seem to have a few budding actors in
their midst – as the safety video they produced is being heavily considered for submission to the next Sun-
dance Film Festival. We also had a Monty Python tribute at one of our
staff meetings trying to determine how many folks were arriving on an
inbound flight, “One…two – Five ! No. Three, sir”
Two quotes of the month:
“Sir, we have some Danish in the motor pool today.”
And my personal favorite from an unnamed company gunnery sergeant,
“Why can’t I get my male Marines to smell like this ?!!”
Can’t thank you enough for all your support – and for dealing with our
absence … just a few more weeks and we’ll be back home with you.
As always – if you have any questions or concerns, please let me and
SgtMaj Belle know.

Semper Fidelis, Michael Murchison

Families and Friends of CLR-15 (FWD),

Wow, we are one month closer to returning to California and seeing all of our
loved ones. Although there is still much to be accomplished here, everyone is beginning
to get excited about coming home. I’m sure our Family Readiness Officers’ have been
getting a lot of phone calls and e-mails asking about our return flight information. Be-
lieve me, as soon as they know, you will know. Please be patient.

During this month our Alpha Surgical Company completed their turnover with 11.1
Surgical Company. The remainder of the regiment is patiently waiting the arrival of the
11.1 Marines and Sailors next month and we are ready to give them a great turnover.
Our Marines and Sailors have worked tirelessly every day and have been outstanding in
their conduct and performance while in country.

This month Staff Sergeant JeeMarcus Tate and Sergeant Jeno Jorgensen were
both selected to compete at the I MEF (Forward) level for Combat Meritorious Promo-
tion. Although not selected, being nominated in itself is a huge accomplishment! Job
well done!

CLR-15(FWD) is a unit that is made up of Marines and Sailors from all over the
nation. It has been truly amazing to watch everyone work together in some of the most
unforgiving environments. Lately it has been cold, wet, and muddy to say the least.
The Marines have yet to fail at accomplishing the mission regardless. They create ways
to get the job done!

“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to
direct individual accomplishment toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that
allows common people to attain uncommon results.” Unknown

Family and friends,

This month, H&S has been busy again. The skies opened up and the rain finally arrived. “Moon
dust” sure does become a muddy mess quickly! All the sections did a great job responding to the diffi-
culties that the water and mud brought.
We could not be prouder of the work these young men and women have produced over these past
six months. Everyday they continue to impress and inspire. During this deployment, they continually
face new challenges and rose to the occasion. When times get difficult or stressful the Marines and
Sailors lean on each other and find the support they need. Their performance has enabled the regiment
to be successful and will leave a lasting impression on all who have interacted with Headquarters & Ser-
vice Company.
We had a few Marines get promoted, reenlist, and receive awards this month. We are looking
forward to a few more of these positive events before we return home.
This month we started planning and preparing for our return home. We are eagerly awaiting for
our replacements to arrive within the next few weeks. We are getting excited with our upcoming re-
turn. We will be on the parade deck looking for you all. The mission is not done yet and we will finish
strong and see you next month!

 GSMT
COMPANY COMMANDER
Families and Friends,

As we approach the completion of our mission, I want the Sailors and Marines of General Support Motor Transport (GSMT) Company to know
I greatly appreciate the exemplary level of honor, courage, and commitment they have displayed. Their hard work and dedicati on has played a
critical role in enabling our military forces to be successful in the global war on terrorism. Freedom is not free, and the Marines and Sailors
of this unit have proudly made great personal sacrifices to serve, and protect our great Nation and its patriotic citizens. I commend the
Marines and Sailors for outstanding perseverance and dedication, and know they will continue to follow through on their operational commit-
ments.

The Marines and Sailors, continue to hit the ball out of the park on a daily basis. I am extremely proud of them and have be en truly amazed
by their accomplishments. There are an enormous amount of Service members throughout Afghanistan that relied on this company for sup-
port and GSMT was able to accomplish the mission every time. The Marines and Sailors are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our replacements.
I know they will stay focused on the mission at hand and maintain their professionalism and dedication until we formally turn over with our
replacements.

I recognize the Marines and Sailors homecoming will be an emotional and joyful time for everyone. We
greatly appreciate the support of our families, loved ones and friends in their efforts and in keeping the
home front prepared and sound. Again, I ask for all of your continued support, not only to the Marines
and Sailors returning home, but for all our Armed Services and their families in their continued efforts
of dedicated service. I ask that you support and work with your loved ones to ensure they continue to
take care of themselves, their fellow Marines and Sailors, and their loved ones. Please be patient and
know that the command is here to support and help with the transitions that encompass re-deployment.
Thank you all, for your prayers and support throughout this deployment, they were echoed and well re-
ceived. I know you are all proud of your loved ones; as our Nation is proud of them as well, please com-
mend them on a job well done!

FIRST SERGEANT
Families, Veterans, Friends, and Supporters of GSMT Company–

Greetings, this command and I are extremely proud of every member of our exceptional team and their accomplishments. We are in the
home stretch of this historic deployment, but rest assure that GSMT Company remains vigilant and totally committed to working seamlessly
with our Marine, Sailor, and Coalition Force brethren in maintaining a secure environment and mission accomplishment here in Afghanistan.

I know that you are all patiently awaiting your Warrior’s triumphant return to the United States. I would like to provide a little more granu-
larity regarding our re-deployment. GSMT Company is tentatively scheduled for an early April window of return. I ask all famil y members to
keep in contact with our Family Readiness Officer (FRO), Mrs. Lynda Schubert, she can be reached via e-mail at lynda.schubert@usmc.mil or
by phone at 760-725-6750. She will provide updated e-mails with the status of movements, return, and more detailed homecoming informa-
tion for GSMT Company as time progresses and when it is known to her. Please be understanding and patient during this re -deployment pe-
riod, as it is important to maintain a secured posture when relaying movement dates and times. To all, your generosity and support in the
form of mail and care packages has been well received and commended. However, on 5 March 2011 I would ask that you please refrain from
sending any mail to our forwarding address, as it will be returned to sender, due to the influx of mail received when twice as many personnel
are here during the re-deployment and transition phases. If your loved one is a Marine or Sailor who is with the Selective Marine Corps/
Naval Reserves I would highly suggest that you do not attend the homecoming- if traveling from a long distance away. Within 96 hours after
their arrival to Camp Pendleton your Reserve Marine or Sailor will commence his or her travels back to their Home Training Center (HTC).
They will be extremely busy, and the period of 3 to 4 days aboard Camp Pendleton will not allow them much free time. They will be fully en-
gaged in gear turn-ins, Warrior Transition Training, and Administrative/Medical Audits- leaving them very little free time while at Camp Pen-
dleton.

Continuously, the Marines and Sailors of GSMT Company have distinguished themselves exceptionally well on the battlefield. W hile we to
look forward to our stateside re-deployment, coming home presents a new set of challenges. The adjustment from operating tactic al vehicles
to driving automobiles or motorcycles at dangerously high speeds and alcohol consumption all too often results in preventable post-
deployment fatalities. We have been blessed thus far with no casualties or serious injuries throughout this deployment. This Command and I
want to keep it that way. I respectfully request that you assist all during this adjustment period for your Marines and Sail ors and slow them
down- when it’s needed. Our desire is for this reunion to be a joyous time to be remembered by every GSMT Family member for years to
come.

To our FRO, Mrs. Lynda Schubert and Supporters of GSMT Company, my utmost appreciation is extended for
your dedicated service throughout this entire deployment. We are eternally grateful for your superior ef-
forts in helping us stay “well connected.” Your unselfish service proved instrumental to our mission accom-
plishment and success. Keep up the outstanding work….we’re almost done. Finally, I thank each and every
GSMT Company family member for your patience, dedication and extraordinary support for the past six
months. We remain ever vigilant and pledge our unwavering commitment to America and the citizens of this
great nation.

CO REMARKS 1STSGT REMARKS

Hello again to all of Maintenance Company’s families
and friends. As we come to the end of our sixth
month being deployed, things continue to go well for
the Marines. We got our first heavy rain showers in
the beginning of February and over the month have
received more showers off and on. Although, the
rain caused some minor flooding and a lot of mud, it
also knocked most of the dust particles out of the air
and gave us all a break and the chance to breathe cleaner air. It also gave us a
chance to see the snow covered, outlying mountain range, which has been
hidden by dust since we have arrived.
February has continued to be a very busy month for the Marines of Maintenance
Company. Your Marines continue to impress all and do amazing things when it
comes to maintaining the warfighters equipment. As we get closer to coming
home, I want to make sure no one gets complacent and do not do anything that
can cause injuries to themselves or others. A Safety Committee was established
and came up with a few different ideas on how we could ensure this important
message gets across to the Marines without the same old, boring, dry stuff.
They came up with doing a short movie with the wrong ways and right ways of
different safety scenarios. The topics during the short clip were, weapons han-
dling, Marine Corps Martial Arts Safety, sports injuries, and proper ground
guiding procedures. The safety movie was presented before our “Black History
Month” presentation with guided discussions in between segments. Overall it
was a huge success, and a lot of good information, and we all learned from it. It of operation. Also, showing their patriotism and dedication to our great nation, Copro-
will not win an Academy Award, but it is a must see!!
Finally, as our time grows shorter here in Afghanistan I want to thank you all for
your continued support. Your Marines could not continue to work the long and
arduous hours they have been, all across Afghanistan, without the support you
provide!! Our time is getting short and we are all looking forward to our return,
but we will remain focused and continue to accomplish our mission until it is our
time to depart. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and we will see you all
soon.
Friends and family of Maintenance Company,
Your Marines continue to do an outstanding job representing the
Marine Corps and Maintenance Company. The company is in its
final stretch of the deployment. I am certain you are looking for-
ward to seeing your loved one again. We are certainly excited to
see all of you in a very near future!
In the month of February, SSgt Houseman and the Esprit de Corps committee pre-
pared a class focusing on the contributions of black Americans to our country’s his-
tory, we watched the movie “Glory” featuring actor Morgan Freeman, who once said
that “black history is American history,” basically meaning that you shouldn’t try to
separate our national history into individual segments. American history is great
because it is a mixture of all the unique cultures that make up our nation. This was a
great experience for me and your Marines.
I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and commend our Marines who
were recently promoted and those who received awards for their outstanding per-
formance. On our last visit to Camp Dwyer, a Certificate of Appreciation was pre-
sented to some of our Marines attached to Combat Logistics Battalion 3 (CLB-3).
Corporal Mann and Lance Corporals Kirby and Varice were awarded for their out-
standing and superior performance in support of Regimental Combat Team-8’s area
ral Calo,and Lance Corporals Alexander and Bachtiar had the opportunity to become
U.S citizens.
Finally, everyone is looking forward to returning home in order to spend time with
our friends and families. Thank you for your continued support. We would not have
been so successful thus far without it. You are in our thoughts and prayers and we
look forward to seeing everyone very soon.

standing character and work.

Families and Friends of Security Company,
So our time here in Helmand Province, Afghanistan is starting to wind down
here some, the end is in sight for most. However as we all know, that does not
mean that it is over for any of us until we are on the final flight to our home
stations. The Marines and Sailors continue to excel at their individual tasks
and missions. Recently we had a mission that lasted 14 days due to the chal-
lenges of the weather here in the Afghan “rainy” season. Missions will con-
tinue to challenge and test your Marines and Sailors, but I have 100% confi-
dence that they will continue to strive to accomplish all missions in the safest
and most thorough way possible.
This month I would like to highlight a few of the most junior Marines and
Sailor in the company, who on a day to day basis might go a little unnoticed by
some, but whose efforts are the wheels that keep this company moving to-
wards excellence each and everyday.
(1st Platoon) 1stSquad– LCpl Lanzone A,, who has weathered the worst of the
weather in his gunners turret, while at the same time always keeping the
spirits high of his truck team and squad.
2nd Squad– LCpl Harris– a Marine no matter how tired he is, keeps his truck
team going safely, even after driving for days on end, still can be found with a
smile on his face through the worst of it.
3rd Squad– LCpl Snyder– a gunner who has been rumored to never leave her
machinegun or gunner turret while on missions, even when they can last days
or even weeks, the corpsmen can’t even figure out how she does it, motivate!
(2nd Platoon) 1stSquad-LCpl Lewis– a driver who even when he is faced with
his fingers being crushed in a vehicle door closing accident by “Mighty
Mouse”, asks only to be stitched up as quickly as possible so he can remain
with his team to finish the mission, a example to us all.
2ndSquad-LCpl Powell– a Marine who has set an excellent example for all of
the rest of the junior Marines, his proven example was recognized by the
Commanding General and therefore he won the Marine Logisitics Group Meri-
torious Promotion Board, and who will be a Corporal on 2 Mar 11, outstanding
job.
3rdSquad– LCpl Williams– a Marine who was flown back on one of our first
missions, and has never showed any signs of fear, but instead kept a solid
positive attitude to get back out there with his team and to do all he could
for them,
(HQs) Comm– LCpl Swartz– a hardworking comm Marine, who can be found
walking the truck lines day or night, rain or shine to ensure that the radios
are good to go for all.
Medical-Doc Curran– one of the
best corpsmen I have served with,
he will run a mile under fire to
assist one of his brother or sisters
in arms who requires medical assis-
tance.
Thank you again for being there
for them as we progress on our
journey of this deployment,

Families and Friends of Security Company,
Well the clock is ticking down and we are getting closer to going home to the
land of the free and the home of the brave! We have traveled all over Hel-
mand Providence, Afghanistan is truly an experience your Marine and Sailors
will never forget. We have heartfelt times and some truly good times! The
one true mission myself and the Major have is to get all our Company home
safe. Many nights and days we have fought to keep us tracking hard to ensure
that all have the continuous training they need to survive and for them all to
have an understanding of Brotherhood and Unity, which I can honestly say we
have as a Company. We have come far and are still pushing through this war.
Our Company Commander is one of the finest Marine Officer’s, I have ever
served with. Her tactic's, I would match with any Infantry Officer and I
have seen her stand strong during fire fight’s and keep a level head. I truly
thank God for having such a strong Leader to follow and serve with. Without
her Leadership and Guidance, we would not be as strong as we are as a Com-
pany!
A good reflection of a Marine Officer is a direct picture of our XO, a young
LT, who holds many billets and has been tested day in and day out! He has
grown in combat and that will help out our future Marines and our beloved
Corps. His hard work ethic and understanding to leading Marines in combat
has helped us preserver through some tuff times.
Our SNCOs, most junior have learned a lot and have had many challenges that
they have overcome and adapted. The long hours that they have all put in has
also ensured the safety of your Marines and Sailors. Being the Senior
Enlisted in the Company at times I have ridden them hard to achieve superior
performance. They have come a long way and have had to endure challenges at
every corner that they worked. Nothing here is easy and war is very stressful
and taxing for any man or woman, but they have persevered and have risen to
the challenges and have done great things to make our Company succeed. I am
very proud of our Company and by now I am sure you get that from what I
write.
Our NCOs and Corpsmen are some of the finest I have ever served with in my
20 years of service. They have become better leaders and have been our back
bone to our success! They have made decisions that have saved lives and have
been put in position that the average men and women have never faced and will
probably never see in their life time! I am truly grateful to be blessed with
such fine Americans as your Son’s and Daughters!
Our Lance Corporals are the work horses and have proven themselves in
battle. I cannot stress it enough
on how hard your Marines have
worked and they also have contrib-
uted to our success. Seeing the
young Marines completing mission
after mission with little to no days
off and still maintain their motiva-
tion, is an awesome sight to see.
True devotion, Brotherhood and
Real Marines leading the way!

Family and Friends of Supply Company,
It has been almost 6 months since we bid farewell from
the 22 area parade deck and all the Marines and Sailors are excited
about the prospect of going home. Even in this excitement we are
incredibly focused on the present mission of providing supply sup-

port to the Marines, Sailors, Soldiers and coalition partners of Hel-
mand Province. I am very proud of them and am inspired by their

perseverance and fighting spirit which has been particularly honed

through the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. We have a dojo
that is focused on safety, developing your Marines and Sailors and having fun.
On 28 April we are having a Supply Company Luau at San Onofre Beach from
1000 to 1400. This is a great time to have our family and friends meet each
other. Marty Rector is your Family Readiness Officer (FRO) and will have more infor-

Thank you for your continued support. Hang in there, we are almost on the
home stretch! God bless!

Supply Company Family,

We are now in what the Commanding Officer calls the 4 th
quarter of the game. We have only a month and some change until we
are back home and yet this is the hardest part of the deploy-
ment. Stress is high, tempers are in the air, patience is low and work
SUPPLY COMPANY is heavier than ever. Occasional rain, mud, and cold wind does not
1stSgt make us any happier as daily duties become more difficult. All
words of encouragement from home mean everything right now to
keep the team going strong. As a team, meaning you at home, me
and the Marines here will really feel like we accomplished something great once it is all
over. Mark your calendars for the 28th of April and plan to take the day off as we are
going to have a final family get together and I really would like to meet everyone of you
that day before I go back to Yuma. Until then God’s speed.

Dear Loved Ones and Friends of Alpha Surgical Company,
We are in the midst of retrograding your loved ones
from the Forward Operating Bases, Camps and Combat Outposts.
Every one of our Sailors and Marines can take satisfaction in a
job well done. The service that we provided in the Helmand and
Nimroz Provinces was superb and the trust and confidence that
the individual warrior had in our skills, knowledge and abilities
was high. As I talk to our people upon their return from a duty
well done, the pride and satisfaction that they have in accom-
plishing our mission is very evident. For the majority of us, what
we have been able to accomplish out here is exactly why we
joined the Navy and Marine Corps service. You can be proud of
your Alpha and I thank you for the love and support you have
given to this Company.

Dear Families and Friends,
As I write this we are bringing the Marines and Sailors back
from the outer Forward Operating Bases. It brings me
great joy to say that each one is in high spirits and ready to
make to trip back to Camp Pendleton and back home. Each
Marine and Sailor has done an outstanding job furthering
the mission and they have set the bar really high for our
replacements. I will say this that it has been a pleasure
serving as the Senior Enlisted Leader for Alpha Surgical
Company. I will say one last time from the bottom of my
heart thank you for support and all the prayers that you
have sent your way. To the Families and Friends of Alpha
Surgical Company, I say Job Well Done.

God Says You Are Valuable

You have been bought and paid for by the Lord, so you belong to Him—be
free now from all these earthly prides and fears. 1 Corinthians 7:23

God says not only are you accepted; you're valuable.

How much do you think you're worth? I'm not talking about your net
worth; I'm talking about your self worth. Don't ever confuse your
valuables with your value as a person. You can be rich or poor but it
has nothing to do with your value as a person.
What determines value? There are two things that determine value in
life:

1 - It depends on what someone is willing to pay for it. How much is

your house worth? Not as much as you think it is, and probably not as
much as it was a year ago. Your house is worth what somebody is
willing to pay for it. No more.
How much is a baseball card worth? To some of you, it's worth
nothing. To others, it's worth a lot of money. Some people are
willing to pay $10,000 for a baseball card.
How much is a piece of art worth? Whatever someone is willing to pay
for it.

2 - It depends on who owned it in the past. Sometimes something is

valuable because of who used to own it. For example, would a car owned
by Elvis Presley be more valuable than a car you owned? Probably. Or,
would a guitar be more valuable because it was owned by John Lennon? I
read about a pair of stinky, smelly, worn out basketball shoes that
sold for $7,000 at an auction because they happened to be owned by
someone named Michael Jordan.
Based on these two things, what's your value? Ask yourself, „Who owns
me?‟ „What was paid for me?‟ The Bible says, “You have been bought and
paid for by the Lord, so you belong to Him—be free now from all these
earthly prides and fears.”
You have been bought and paid for by the Lord. You belong to Him. How
much does that make you worth?
Now ask yourself, „Who do I belong to?‟ The Bible says you belong to
God. You are incredibly valuable. Nobody has ever paid a greater price
than God paid for you. You are acceptable and you are valuable!

Blessings,
Chaplain David R. Bradley
