Year No. 5, Edition No. 41 

Auditorium dedicated to 

‘Jungle Jim’ commander 

By LAUREN SAGE REINLIE 

Florida Freedom Newspapers 

Fifty years ago then-Col. Ben King organized 

a ragtag group of airmen for a secretive, allvolunteer 

special operations mission known as 

“Jungle Jim.” 

Although King couldn’t have known at the 

time, that first mission in 1961 was the genesis 

for what has grown into the Air Force Special 

Operations Command, the heart of Hurlburt 

Field today. 

On Friday Oct. 7, an auditorium at Hurlburt 

was dedicated to Brig. Gen. King, who died in 

2004 at age 84. 

“It’s an honor,” said King’s daughter, Alicia, 

who traveled from San Francisco to attend the 

ceremony. “My father would be humbled. He 

wouldn’t enjoy any of this at all. He was just a 

Southern boy doing what he thought was right.” 

An experienced fighter pilot in World War 

WII and the Korean War, King was handpicked 

to oversee “Jungle Jim,” which at the time consisted 

of a group of men without a well-defined 

mission who were flying obsolete World War II 

aircraft at Hurlburt. 

King organized the men and within five 

months the unit was sent to Vietnam to fight a 

secret guerilla war from the air. It was the first 

combat flying unit sent to Vietnam in the ’60s. 

King was commander of the unit, known as 

the 4400th Combat Crew Training Squadron, 

from 1961 to 1962. 

Hurlburt Field had no other combat units at 

the time. 

“You wouldn’t have recognized it then,” said 

retired Maj. Gen. Richard Secord, who was involved 

with the operation in 1961. “The local community 

didn’t have any idea what was brewing.” 

Today, Hurlburt is headquarters for AFSOC, a 

program which Secord said has grown from a few 

hundred people to “quite a few thousand” since 

that first operation in 1961. 

The dedication ceremony coincided with the 

annual Air Commando Association reunion on 

Oct. 8. 

A bus brought a few dozen people in town 

for the reunion to the dedication ceremony on 

Friday. 

“I’m happy to see a number of old air commandos 

in the audience,” Secord said during his 

keynote speech at the ceremony. “I didn’t mean 

to say old, but they’re old. I can say it because I’m 

one of them.” 

Secord, president of the Air Commando Association, 

said more than 900 people registered 

nick tomecek | Daily News 

Alicia King, daughter of Brig. Gen. Benjamin H. King, unveils a portrait of her father Friday 

Oct. 7, during the dedication of King Auditorium at Hurlburt Field. 

for the reunion this year, doubling last year’s 

participation. 

The group will be celebrating the 50th anniversary 

of “Jungle Jim” and the 20th anniversary 

of Desert Storm. 

The nonprofit organization also raises money 

to help Special Operations airmen and their families 

with expenses such as extra medical care or 

travel to a fallen airmen’s funeral, Secord said. 

“We try to support the Airmen of today as well 

as the heritage that went before us to make sure 

it’s not forgotten,” he said.

Organizers prepare for this year’s memorial march 

By MONA MOORE 


Two months ago, Special 

Tactics Airmen had no plans 

for any memorial event. The 

CH-47 Chinook helicopter 

crash in Afghanistan on Aug. 

6 changed all that. 

The Airmen started a tradition 

in 2009 after Staff Sgt. 

Timothy Davis, a Hurlburt 

Field combat controller was 

killed Feb. 20 of that year. In 

memory of Davis and the 

11 (at the time) other Special 

Tactics airmen killed in 

action since Sept. 11, 2001, 

airmen marched more than 

800 miles carrying batons, 

each with the name of one 

of the fallen. 

The march is only done 

if a Special Tactics airman 

is killed in action during the 

year. Since the tradition’s 

start, the airmen have 

marched every year. 

“We almost made it,” Maj. 

Kristi Beckman, a spokeswoman 

for the event, said 

of not suffering a casualty 

this year. 

This year, the memorial 

march from Lackland Air 

Force Base in San Antonio 

to Hurlburt Field will have 

17 batons for Special Tactics 

airmen. Three of them 

are new: Staff Sgt. Andrew 

Harvell, 26; Tech. Sgt. John 

Brown, 33; and Tech. Sgt. 

Daniel Zerbe. 

Harvell trained at Hurlburt 

Field and Brown’s father 

lives in Destin. Brown 

and Zerbe were assigned 

to the 24th Special Tactics 

Squadron (STS) at Pope 

Field, N.C. The squadron 

falls under the Air Force 

Special Operations Command 

at Hurlburt. 

Master Sgt. Robert J. 

Bartleson knew and worked 

with all three men. Before he 

was assigned to Hurlburt’s 

Special Tactics Training 

Squadron (STTS), he was on 

the 24th STS’s Red Team. 

He will carry Harvell’s 

baton and the Red Team flag 

when he marches. 

“I wanted to carry all 

three,” Bartleson said. “I 

was the team sergeant for 

the Red Team and handpicked 

the three of them 

for my team.” 

He said Zerbe always had 

a smile on his face, Harvell 

didn’t have an enemy on the 

planet and Brown was the 

best Special Tactics airman 

they had. 

“He was just incredible. 

Just at another level … definitely 

ahead of his peers,” 

Bartleson said. 

Bartleson decided to 

march in the memorial and 

again help organize the 

march after attending his 

final Chinook funeral Sept. 

11. Just weeks into preparation, 

Bartleson said this 

memorial will be bigger than 

the last one. 

Last year, the memorial 

march included batons for 

Air Commandos and Army 

Rangers killed in Iraq and 

Afghanistan. Bartleson welcomes 

the participation of 

other troops, especially on 

the last 5-mile stretch Oct. 

26, when friends and family 

of the fallen Airmen will join 

the marchers. 

Bartleson said he hoped 

to see the participation of 

every American in honoring 

the men. 

Beckman has been working 

on that. She has contacted 

civic groups in every town 

along the route and asked 

that they cheer them on. 

Beckman will be posting 

on the group’s Facebook and 

Twitter accounts and updating 

the blog along the route. 

The march also is a fundraiser 

for the Special Operations 

Warrior Foundation 

(SOWF). All of the proceeds 

collected along the route will 

go to the nonprofit organization 

that pays for the needs 

of dependents of troops 

killed in action or training. 

The foundation covers 

counseling, financial assistance 

and a college education 

for each child. With the 

addition of the 31 children of 

the Chinook crash victims, 

the organization has helped 

911 children. 

The organization also 

sends $2,000 to anyone 

wounded in action in order 

to cover the expenses of 

flying family to the hospital 

treating them. 

“We have given out $1.2 

million in that program,” 

said Wayne G. Norrad, one 

of three local SOWF board 

members.

Spectrum House focuses on military families 

By Mona Moore 


CRESTVIEW — When 

Laura O’Brien wanted to 

take her children to an 

autism center closer to her 

Milton home, she opened 

one. When she saw the 

need for centers in Navarre 

and Crestview, she 

opened them, too. 

O’Brien named the centers 

Spectrum House. She 

said the name refers to the 

disorders she treats, which 

are on an interconnected 

spectrum and have varied 

levels of the neurological 

disabilities. 

The Spectrum team 

of educators and board 

certified behavior analysts 

teach severely autistic 

children to speak and 

adults how to take care of 

themselves. The program 

also helps people with 

attention deficit/hyperactive 

disorder and downs 

syndrome. 

Behavioral and educational 

services at the 

centers include life skills 

training, Applied Behavior 

Analysis (ABA), language 

assessment and Individual 

Education Plans (IEP). 

Three of O’Brien’s nine 

children have an autistic 

spectrum disorder. Of the 

children, O’Brien’s son, 

William, has the severest 

case of autism. She saw 

the power of ABA therapy 

when William learned to 

speak at 8 years old after 

years of unsuccessful 

speech therapy. 

“ABA has really opened 

up the door for him,” she 

said. 

O’Brien said the years 

William was unable to 

communicate were a 

nightmare. Like many 

autistic children, the 

frustration of not being understood 

led to aggressive 

behavior. 

Jodi Schmidt’s youngest 

daughter, Victoria, 

was diagnosed with autism 

shortly before the 

family transferred to the 

area with the 7th Special 

Forces Group (Airborne). 

The 2-year-old was obsessively 

compulsive about 

her things and would not 

speak or play with others. 

The family settled in 

Crestview then discovered 

there were no therapy 

services in the northern 

part of the county. Schmidt 

was referred to Spectrum 

House’s horse therapy 

program by Eglin’s Exceptional 

Family Member 

Program. She was so impressed 

with the program 

that she became the Crestview 

office’s manager. 

A year into the program, 

3-year-old Victoria 

hugged and welcomed 

her dad home for the first 

time. Schmidt was really 

moved when Victoria 

spontaneously told her she 

loved her. 

Victoria even has made 

friends with another Spectrum 

client and played 

with a doll. 

“She was playing like 

a typical child,” Schmidt 

said. 

O’Brien said ultimately, 

the primary clientele for 

the new centers will be 

the military. Therapists 

have had to help several 

families deal with deploying 

parents and other 

military-specific issues. 

The three sites now accept 

TRI-CARE. 

O’Brien said she came 

up with the idea to open a 

center on her way to one of 

her three weekly treks to 

a therapy center in Destin 

for her children. She was 

worried about how the 

family would cover the 

cost of therapy in a few 

years when her husband 

retires from the U.S. Coast 

Guard.

the wall that my children 

would need this service,” 

she said. 

In less than a year, 

O’Brien started the three 

local centers that offer 

therapy to children and 

young adults with developmental 

disabilities. She 

plans to open a center in 

Pensacola within the next 

six months. 

She said she also hopes 

to open a coffee house 

near each center where 

families can socialize, hear 

guest speakers and learn 

about local resources 

while their loved one is being 

treated. 

O’Brien’s 9-acre homestead 

had a second unoccupied 

house on it that she 

and her husband turned 

into their first center. As 

rewards for children who 

were doing well in their 

sessions, the O’Brien’s 

started taking them swimming, 

fishing and horseback 

riding at the Milton 

center. They also offered 

horse therapy and quarterly 

camps. 

Some of the space is 

used as a mock apartment 

where adults learn 

to prepare meals, clean 

rooms and perfect job 

skills. Therapists do onthe-job 

training and have 

been known to walk clients 

through shopping tasks. 

The process can take 

years for some clients to 

learn. Every milestone is

a celebration for O’Brien 

and for parents. 

“The first time the mom 

goes a week without being 

hit, bitten or scratched is a 

big one,” she said. 

The typical therapy session 

is about $40 an hour 

(one of the least expensive 

rates in the area) and the 

nature of the therapy is to 

repeat tasks for months. 

O’Brien hates turning 

people without insurance 

away but the overhead for 

the new locations make 

charity almost impossible. 

She collects donations and 

plans to do fundraisers 

to offset costs. Spectrum 

House has a program 

where people can sponsor 

a child’s therapy. 

“With donations, I hope 

someday to be able to tell 

people, ‘OK, today’s session 

is $5,’ ” she said. 

A big part of therapy 

with the children is playing 

with toys. O’Brien said 

when an autistic child is 

given toy cars, he does not 

make car noises and pretend 

to drive them around 

the room. He organizes 

and lines them up. 

The turnover rate of a 

toy in Spectrum House is 

fast. When a child finds a 

toy and gets to the point of 

playing with it in a traditional 

way, that toy is his. 

O’Brien buys used toys 

whenever possible. And 

accepts donated books and 

toys at all of the locations.


Clock tower to stand at Beal Memorial Cemetery 

By KARI C. BARLOW 


FORT WALTON BEACH 

— City officials have approved 

a plan to build a 

veterans clock tower at 

the entrance to Beal Memorial 

Cemetery. 

A group of local veterans 

proposed the tribute 

tower in August and recently 

got the City Council’s 

OK. 

“Here in Fort Walton 

Beach we don’t have anything 

like this,” said Gene 

Carroll, president of Veterans 

Tribute Tower Memorial 

Inc., which is raising 

money to build the monument. 

“This is a military 

town and (military) retirement 

town. These veterans 

deserve something.” 

Jeff Peters, the city’s 

recreation and cultural 

services director, told 

council members last 

week that the tower will 

be a good addition to the 

cemetery. 

“We feel … like that is 

an excellent place for it,” 

he said. “I think it will be 

an enhancement to the entrance 

of the cemetery.” 

Plans call for the 30- 

foot clock tower to sit 

inside the Beal Parkway 

entrance. It would be surrounded 

by brick pavers 

and 2-foot-tall circular 

brick wall. 

“The flag pole would 

actually be moved behind 

the tower,” Peters told the 

council. 

Local veterans advocate 

Tom Rice said he 

likes the idea of placing 

the tower where residents 

regularly gather on Memorial 

Day and Veterans 

Day to honor the military. 

“The decision to put it 

in a place where we honor 

our veterans and our 

active-duty folks and the 

families of all our military 

members is just so appropriate,” 

he said. “I am going 

to do everything I can 

do to help them make it 

happen.” 

Veterans Tribute Tower 

Memorial Inc. is a nonprofit 

group that plans to raise 

$250,000 for the tower and 

$50,000 for the brick pavers 

and maintenance. 

“We’re going to different 

organizations, any 

organization that will 

listen to us,” said Carroll, 

who added that the 

group also accepts private 

donations. 

Carroll said he hopes 

community groups will 

host events to benefit the 

clock tower. 

The tower will be built 

by The Verdin Co. of Ohio. 

It will feature four 3-foot 

clock dials with backlit 

canisters and a customcast 

250-pound 24-inch 

bronze bell. The tower 

7373364 

can be programmed to 

play chimes and patriotic 

music. 

After bringing the tower 

to Fort Walton Beach, 

workers will cast the bell 

Breakfast Specials 

Starting at $ 3.99 

on site and invite the public 

to watch the tower being 

assembled. 

Carroll said his group 

hopes to have it in place 

by October 2013.

Spouses’ return makes 

families complete again 

By MONA MOORE 


One-year-old Ella Arnold stood 

in front of her mom staring at 

a man 3 feet away dressed in 

fatigues and squatting down 

to her level. 

With a grin from ear to ear, the man 

held out his arms and beckoned the 

timid, blue-eyed beauty to him. 

After a few seconds Ella stuck out a 

silver slipper, took one timid step and 

then rushed into her dad’s arms. Senior 

Master Sgt. Kemnon Arnold picked up 

his youngest child and gave her a dip 

and zerbert kiss that made her laugh. 

Arnold was one of about 150 Airmen 

who returned to Hurlburt Field on 

Thursday morning Oct. 6, from deployments 

in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was 

quickly ambushed with hugs and kisses 

from his 8-year-old son Nathan, 3-yearold 

son Ethan and 5-year-old daughter 

Alyssa. 

Laure Arnold made two signs to welcome 

her husband home. One included 

handprints of each child that said, “Welcome 

home, Daddy. You left handprints 

on our heart. You complete us.” 

Shalimar resident Samantha Place 

joined her mother-in-law Janet for the 

homecoming. They held signs to welcome 

home Staff Sgt. Matthew Place. 

Actually, Samantha’s sign welcomed 

home “Porcupine,” a name Matthew 

earned after kissing her with a 

prickly unshaved face. It was his first 

deployment. 

“It’s hard when your husband deploys. 

Everything breaks,” Samantha 

said. 

As Porcupine entered the hangar, 

she raced and jumped in his arms, 

wrapping her legs around him. 

Betsy Mier and her three children 

lived with her parents in Niceville while 

her husband, Maj. Jason Mier, was deployed. 

He was one of dozens of airmen 

from Cannon Air Force Base, N. M., 

who returned via Hurlburt, and the only 

one who will stick around for longer 

than a layover. 

Betsy said she missed having Jason 

around to help. She had her hands full 

with twin 9-month-olds Addison and 

Rebecca and their 6-year-old brother, 

Nicholas. 

“They were barely crawling when I 

left and now they’re almost walking,” 

Jason said of the twins. 

The Guice family had a few milestones 

while Sgt. Pharaoh Guice was 

deployed. He missed 6-year-old daughter 

Jorden’s first ballet recital and 

preschool graduation, his wife Erica’s 

birthday and his daughter Lauren’s second 

birthday. 

Erica was just glad her husband 

would be home for the holidays and 

grateful she got to talk to him while he 

was away. 

“We talked just about every day,” 

Erica said. 

The family had one stop to make on 

the way home. They were headed to 

surprise Jorden at Holley- Navarre Primary 

School. She had no idea Pharaoh 

was back in town. 

Seconds after Staff Sgt. Shawntobia 

Morgan introduced her mom to Destin 

resident Capt. F. Bart Doyle, he had 

only one question, “Where’s Ke?” 

Doyle said he was tired and excited 

to be home. He missed his wife most 

of all. His friend Shawntobia missed 

her son, KeAndri Morgan. She bent his 

ear talking about her 6-year-old while 

deployed. 

Shawntobia’s mom, Marilyn Knox, 

flew in from Ohio to take care of Ke 

while she was deployed. Mom and 

son Skyped and emailed each other 

constantly. 

Marilyn waited for her “baby girl” 

with cards and roses in her hand. She 

said Shawntobia was a great mother 

who was obsessed with her little boy. 

Shawntobia wanted to know what her 

son was wearing to school each day, 

when he got his hair cut and how each 

day of school was for him. 

Marilyn said Shawntobia volunteered 

to deploy so that she could have 

some control in the length and time of 

the deployment. 

“It was a very good experience,” 

Shawntobia said. “Now, I’m ready to 

find my bag and get my baby.”

Commissary boss: Critics overlook efficiencies 

Tom 

Philpott 

Military grocery stores 

operate so efficiently that 

the discounts provided to 

shoppers are worth double 

the value of tax dollars 

being spent to deliver this 

prized benefit worldwide to 

U.S. service members and 

families. 

Joseph H. Jeu, director 

of the Defense Commissary 

Agency (DeCA), 

made that point and more 

in an interview last week 

amid rising speculation 

that commissaries could 

be targeted for cuts under 

national debt reduction 

plans being readied by 

Congress and the Obama 

administration. 

In return for the “$1.3 

billion that we get in appropriations 

support” annually, 

Jeu said, “we are 

providing nearly $2.7 billion 

in savings to patrons.” 

That more than “two-forone 

return 

on investment” 

is 

“something 

people 

don’t think 

about. It’s 

really an 

excellent 

investment 

for 

taxpayers.” 

As national debt climbs 

toward $15 trillion, and 

politicians confront a crisis 

decades in the making, talk 

in Washington is of cutting 

federal entitlements like 

Medicare and Social Security, 

and slashing future 

defense budgets. Commissaries 

have become part of 

that conversation, thanks 

to a long-standing suggestion 

by the Congressional 

Budget Office. 

CBO says that up to 

$1.7 billion a year could be 

saved by ending commissary 

subsidies, combining 

base grocery and department 

stores into a single 

system and cutting shopper 

discounts to 5 percent. 

The diluted discounts 

could be eased in part with 

a new grocery allowance, 

CBO advises. 

Last December, the 

Simpson-Bowles commission 

on budget reform listed 

base store consolidation 

as one of many possible 

cuts to federal spending. 

In August, the Senate Veterans 

Affairs Committee 

liked the CBO idea enough 

to include it in a bill to create 

another entitlement. 

The committee voted to 

take dollars saved by ending 

the commissary subsidy 

and redirect them to the 

Department of Veterans 

Affairs to provide health 

care to veterans and their 

families who lived on Camp 

Lejeune, N.C., during an 

era when base drinking 

water was contaminated. 

The bill, S 277, still faces 

procedural challenges 

before it can be debated 

and put to a vote by the full 

Senate. Commissary advocates 

fear the committee’s 

vote alone has made commissaries 

a reasonable 

target of savings to achieve 

higher priorities, like new 

debt reduction goals. 

Meanwhile, defense officials 

are studying ways to 

achieve $400 billion in budget 

savings over 10 years 

as ordered by President 

Obama earlier this year. 

And under a separate deal 

reached between Obama 

and Republican congressional 

leaders this summer 

— this one as a condition 

See boss page 11

oss From page 10 

for raising the debt ceiling 

— a new “super committee” 

of lawmakers must 

find at least $1.5 trillion 

more in debt-cutting initiatives 

over the decade 

or automatic cuts of $1.2 

trillion, by design, will hit 

both defense budgets and 

entitlements hard. 

“I don’t want to speculate 

on what could happen 

but I have heard the same 

rumors as you have,” said 

DeCA Director Jeu. 

Commissary patrons 

are concerned, he said. 

Jeu’s senior enlisted advisor, 

Army Command Sgt. 

Maj. John M. Gaines Jr., 

travels often and “gets 

feedback from a lot of 

junior members who say 

‘Sergeant Major, commissaries 

are critical to us. We 

cannot make ends meet 

without them.’ ” 

Rather than comment 

on any particular threat to 

stores or savings, real or 

perceived, Jeu chooses to 

explain the value commissaries 

create for both shoppers 

and taxpayers, “even 

in a fiscally constrained 

environment.” 

First, he said, DeCA 

has a tradition of efficiency 

that other agencies would 

do well to emulate. When 

adjusted for inflation, the 

$1.3 billion annual appropriation 

is 40 percent 

below what DeCA got in 

1992, when it was formed 

through consolidation of 

service-run grocery stores. 

That’s savings of about 

$700 million a year to deliver 

the benefit, Jeu said. 

Commissary shoppers 

save on average 31.7

likely are less, he 

conceded, if price comparisons 

are made only for 

Walmart or other major 

discounters. 

Even then, Jeu said, 

“I’m confident our prices 

(are) much better … It 

could be 15 percent. It 

could be 20 percent. Who 

knows? But it will be much 

greater savings (overall) 

than in comparison to 

Walmart.”

director last January, Jeu 

spent about the first third 

of his 32 years in government 

working with Army 

and Marine Corps commissaries. 

He remembers 

base stores 30 years ago 

being more like warehouses. 

They carried about 

half the number of products 

being stocked today. 

None had their own bakery 

or deli or fresh seafood 

section. 

“Thirty years ago our 

savings were probably 

running about 25 percent,” 

Jeu said. 

He credits the larger 

savings today to a more 

professional staff. DeCA 

employees are better 

trained, armed with better 

data and have skills 

to manage categories of 

items far more efficiently. 

“It really is more than 

a grocery store,” Jeu said. 

Commissaries “are an integral 

part of the military’s 

compensation system. 

That’s something people 

are forgetting.”
