Standing at the helm of tradition and duty, one gazes beyond the horizon, where the boundless sea meets the endless sky. The deck beneath serves as a stage of discipline, the uniform as a testament to unwavering resolve.
The ocean reminds us that leadership is not confined to the battles of the present but extends to charting a course for the future. In the quiet moments of reflection, strength and strategy intertwine, forging a commander’s soul.

After the conclusion of the Apollo program, the CSM saw service as a crew shuttle for the Skylab program, and also in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project where a CSM docked with a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft in Earth orbit.
While an automobile has less than 3,000 functional parts, the command module has more than 2,000,000 not counting wires and skeletal components.
Oooh I love facts n figures. I'm off to make an excel spreadsheet into a graph.........
The command module uses only about 2000 watts of electricity, similar to the amount required by an oven in an electric range.
There are approximately 2-1/2 million solder joints in the Saturn V launch vehicle. If just 1/32 of an inch too much wire were left on each of these joints and an extra drop of solder was used on each of these joints, the excess weight would be equivalent to the payload of the vehicle.
The CM's three main re-entry parachutes were made of nearly an acre of cloth and more than a mile of suspension lines. yet, they were vacuum-packed to fit into a niche the size of a small suitcase.
The CSM's hydroge and oxygen tanks were so well insulated that if they were filled with ice and placed in a 70deg(F) room, 8.5 years would pass before the ice melted.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) conducted a Headquarters and Headquarters Company run March 14, 2015, at Southport Community Park in Orlando. The run reinforced the command's espirit de corps while debuting the company's new Physical Training shirts.
Joining the 150 Soldiers on the three-mile trot were four members from Operation Giveback, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and resources for America's wounded warriors, their families and the children of fallen heroes.
Jose Garcia Aponte, a former Army sergeant major and founder of Operation Giveback (OGB) ran alongside Army Brig. Gen. Francisco A. Espaillat, commanding general of the 143d ESC, as he led his column of gold and black clad Soldiers as they sang cadences and took turns holding the unit's colors.
Aponte and Espaillat aim to enhance the 143d ESC's longstanding partnership with Operation Giveback by increasing the command's participation in OGB's charity events. Dozens of Soldiers have already pledged to run or volunteer in OGB's fifth annual 5K, 10K and Kids Run/Walk/Roll to be held May 16, 2015, at the University of Central Florida.
For more information about Operation Giveback's vision, mission and programs, visit www.operation-giveback.org/.
