3' BLT S-3 Top: Sgt Lafieur, LCpl Benavidez, LCpl Norfleet, Cpl Acock Mid: Capt Supchak, Capt Houlihan, Maj Sposato, Capt Kunhardt, Cpl Mujsce Back: GySgt O'Neil, CWO-2 Phelps, GySgt Gerrard, Capt Dowdy The S-3 COPERATIONSD section of the BLT is primarily responsible for matters pertaining to operations and training. The Section is made up of Marines with various backgrounds and MOS's to include: infantry, aviation, NBC, drafting, and administration. The S-3 is no ordinary staff section. As the float progresses they are each seen in herculean struggles trying to accomplish the truly worthy personal goals they have set for themselves: The Boguemaster is refining his oratory skills in order to, in the telling of one story, achieve the perfect transition from Beirut to Ranger School to Recruiting. Skyler, utilizing the lightning reflexes of a fighter pilot, attempts to break 62 at St. Andrews. Raven and Dozo, with magnifying glass in-hand search for special slides for a helo egress class or officers' school. Two figures concealed in the shadows, predatory senses ever-alert, reconning their objective, they make one final check of their packages , and advance like grim-reapers into the night. The W.O. and Gunny are in search of a utopian liberty port or the ultimate MORP 5 and a 4,000 foot jump respectively. RJ. strives to perfect his linguistic skills for the betterment of the Corps while trying to assume the billet of duty sacred cow . Benni-Hanna works diligently to meet the demands which tax his skills as a cartographer to limits behond human endurance. In the interest of man-kind, Gontri and Gator try to convince anyone who will listen of the benefits of a pre- emptive first strike. As the remaining days grow short we see Fleet wandering, dazed, asking what sort of insane asylum he's been committed to. Amidst it all, a solitary figure stands, the Major. As the red-headed stranger slips by in the passageway, the Major's heard to utter those immortal words, Hey Lieutenant, aren't you on duty section tonight? In the final analysis, looking into the steely-eyes of these life- takers and heart-breakers, one can only wonder if they can find the courage to face the post-deployment routine without their daily MORP? THE STRONG SURVIVE, THE WEAK FALL BY THE WAYSIDE. - TBRITS

Survedlan ce And Target Acquisition KS TA j Pla toon This is a photo of the STA Platoon. At least we think it is. No one knows what they do or even if they really exist. If they do exist you couldn't find them anyhow. STA Platoon is able to disappear individually, or as a group. Their Platoon Commander doesn't see them for weeks at a time . . . even when they are aboard the ship. These Marines are especially good at hiding out when it comes time to form working parties or get immunizations. lt's been said that you might get a glance at one of these creatures if you put a hamburger and a cold beer on a tree stump and hide out until nightfall. You must be very quiet and patient though. And by the way . . . this doesn't work if you are a First Sergeant.

Air OfHce As part of the S-3 Section, the Air Office's stated purpose is to effect coordination between the BLT and supporting air agencies, utilize the experience of its members to advise the Commander in all matters dealing with air and to contribute to more effective planning. To the Aviators, this translates to obtainin a higher level of appreciation of civilized living by exposing them to the g experience of wallowing in the mud ! They must also learn to beat their heads against the wall in frustration on numerous occasions while trying to deal with creatures of lower intelligence. Occasionally, the Air Office is known as the Tactical Air Control Party CTACPD. It is comprised of three Aviators and twelve communicators from the Comm Platoon. The senior Aviator is the Air Officer and is responsible for planning, coordinating and advising the Battalion Commander on air matters. The other Aviators serve as the Forward Air Controllers and together with a team of three communicators function to control all air at the company level. Lastly, the TACP is there to offer training in all Aviation matters. They also serve as examples to the BLT as to what happens to a Marine when he gets to heaven. There is nothing more demoralizing to the enemy or motivating to the Marines on the ground than a section of aircraft, loaded with ordinance, rolling in with a Mark in sight . . . CLEARED HOT!
