MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. -- In a game full of foul play, Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron’s ‘Mac’s Villains’ went up against the Provost Marshal’s Office’s ‘Enforcers’ in a Commanding General’s Cup basketball game Monday at the Semper Fit Gym.

The first twenty minute half was full of foul shots and cross-key passes by both teams but the ‘Enforcers’ kept their heads in the game and took the lead on Mac’s Villains with a score 29-19 with 2:14 left in the first half.

Expecting to lose one of their most valuable players, Mac’s Villains wanted to make the game a memorable one for retiring Sgt. Maj. Aaron L. Banks.

The Villains played good defense, giving up only one basket to the Enforcers before half time. Villains’ Shane Rosenthal ended the half with a foul shot, bringing the score to 30-22, Enforcers.

The foul play continued into the second quarter piling up over 15 foul shots between the two teams. William M. McAdams, Mac’s Villain’s guard, was sent to the line 4 times in the second half, adding 5 points to his 3 foul shot points from the first half.

In the final two minutes of the game, McAdams swept past Enforcer’s guard, Jon-Paul C. Archer, only to miss the shot from under the hoop. Archer took advantage of the missed opportunity to make a come back for the Enforcers with a score of 48-46.

Archer ran the ball cross court, took the shot and missed it. He shot again, juggling the ball over the net and caught a foul from Villains defender, Jason A. Taylor. Archer was denied the point again after missing the shot from the line.

Archer took the missed rebound across court and got body slammed to the ground adding two foul shots and points to the Enforcers final score.

“My team played very well,” said Kenneth Flynt, from the PMO’s Enforcers. “It was a fun game, but they got lucky.”

The game ended 52-49 when the Villains stole the ball and the win from under the Enforcers’ net and McAdams made the final foul shot of the game.

“This was Sgt. Maj. Bank’s retirement game,” said McAdams. “We had to do it right.”

POLICY

The most important starting point for an EMS* is the development of an environmental policy. ISO14001 requires local governments to implement their own environmental policy. The environmental policy acts as a basis for the environmental management system.

PLANNING

ISO14001 requires that an environmental management system is planned properly. It requires the organization to consider the following carefully: Environmental Aspects; Legal and Other Aspects; Objectives and Targets; and an Environmental Management Program.

IMPLEMENTATION

The two requirements for implementation of an EMS is to define, document, and communicate roles, responsibilities and authorities, and to allocate the resources needed to implement and control the EMS.

CHECKING

The key requirement in this EMS step is to regularly monitor and measure key characteristics of activities and operations that could have a significant impact on the environment. Changes to EMS procedures may become necessary in order to deal with nonconformances with the EMS, with mitigating environmental impacts, or corrective and preventive action.

REVIEW

The management review process ensure that information is collected to enable management to carry out proper review. Top management review the need for changes to policy, objectives and targets, and ensure that a commitment to continual improvement is being demonstrated.
