LOS ANGELES - Since 2002, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District has deployed more than 100 employees to Afghanistan and Iraq and 20 employees are currently deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
In a ceremony Oct. 5, the District welcomed home four employees returning from Afghanistan and Iraq.
Two honorees were from the 59th Engineer Detachment, Forward Engineer Support Team-Advance, one from the Space and Missile Command at Los Angeles Air Force Base and one District employee.
"While only one of the honorees is a District employee, we support volunteers who deploy from our region,” said Deputy District Commander Lt. Col. Steve Sigloch. "Thank you for volunteering."
Sonya Olbrantz, an Environmental Engineer Program Manager with the 59th FEST-A, deployed to Al Ramadi, Iraq with a mix of military and civilian staff that advised local commanders on engineering matters.
"There is a lot of work there for us to do," said Olbrantz. "I spoke with students who greatly appreciated us rebuilding their schools; we were able to provide updated materials and equipment. Restoring their water systems had a huge impact on their lives; 2-to-5-year-olds are much healthier now."
Sgt. 1st Class Richard Werme, the FEST non-commissioned officer in charge, arranged security escorts and the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles used by the team when they visited project sites.
"It was tough, it was hot, it was an adventure," said Werme. "We learned how a relatively small group of people can make a positive impact and help a large number of people."
Kim Calvert-Johnson is a contract specialist for the Space and Missile Command at LAFB and was hired as a contract specialist for the deployment.
"I've been a contract specialist for 26 years, but had never worked a construction contract and deploying was on my bucket list," said Calvert-Johnson. "I was able to work side by side with the great men and women who help protect our country."
Don Nguyen is a cost engineer in the District Design Branch and deployed as a cost engineer to Kabul, Afghanistan. This was his second deployment downrange for a total of three years since 2007.
"I like challenges and a fast paced environment," said Nguyen. "We had 10- to- 12 hour workdays, but being able to go to a gym and all the care packages and support from the District is how I made it.
Nguyen's 7- year- old daughter joined him at the ceremony and Sigloch presented her with a gift saying, "I know how tough it was on you, my kids were seven and four when I deployed. Thanks for supporting your Dad."
Sigloch presented each employee the "Commanders Coin" from District Commander Col. Mark Toy.
"The District carries the load in South Pacific Division deployments and on behalf of District Commander Col. Toy, thank you for your service and thank you to everyone who stepped it up back here by taking on the extra workload while they deployed in support of our Nation," Sigloch added.

Yessire, I remodeled the previous service vehicle for civil servant, the 97.2cc four stroke bike, Honda-Astra's Win 100 (www.flickr.com/photos/black_claw/6265721828/in/photostream).
A few normal tweak, overhauling engine and stuffs, I changed it's carburetter to TKD's version since the original one, well, old enough and kinda broken, plus the fact that there were no original parts from Honda-Astra since they discontinued this model since 2005.
Using bigger rear tires (350), both velg stays same (rear 17-front 18) just using a new one instead plus custom front mudguard, then, with the help of a nice welder friend, Gatot, Honda Blade's muffler now can fit to it's body.
Last, with Suzuki Satria FU's headlamp, this black roadbuster now kinda looks like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon.

Brass charm from China, made during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and intended as a good luck charm for the Chinese Imperial Examination. Obverse reads "Xi bao san yuan" ("Good news [of a ] triple first [the highest possible score in the Exam]." Reverse shows crude drawings of a phoenix and tiger, two auspicious animals, and some other features that might be clouds(?).
The Chinese Imperial Examination began during the Tang dynasty and continued through several dynasties until finally ending in 1905. It is regarded as a forerunner of modern Civil Service exams, in that it was the chief qualification to enter the Imperial bureaucracy. The Exam was essay-based and tested the applicant's knowledge of the Confucian classics as well as ability to write in a highly literary style. The best candidates in the annual local and Provincial exams would be sent to the capital every third year for a national exam, which was overseen by the Emperor himself. The Examination helped ensure cultural unity across China's vast area, and gave opportunities for talented young men to join the cultural and political elite.
