CAMP ZAMA, Japan - Hundreds of Soldiers, Airmen, civilians and their families from the Camp Zama community kicked off Army Birthday Week with sports, games and tournaments designed to build camaraderie and esprit de corps throughout U.S. Army Japan Command. For five days dozens of units from the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force will compete in various challenges to test their cumulative strength, speed, endurance and dexterity. From team sports, golf scrambles and swim relays to bowling tournaments, relay races and free throw competitions, the Army Birthday Week events offer a variety of team competitions and individual contests that maximize appeal across the entire sports spectrum.
The “Not in My Squad” challenge offered the most unique competition appearing in this week’s lineup. Nine representatives from Camp Zama’s Army and Air Force units endured a series of physically draining events spread along a three-mile route. The teams worked together to carry five-gallon cans of water to each event where they performed various exercises comprising hundreds of pushups, situps, pullups, tire flips and kettle bell curls. The challenge concluded with a role-play scenario that tested the teams’ cumulative knowledge about how to handle a sexual harassment incident.
A unit that wins first place in a specific event earns five points, while second and third place finishes earn three and two points respectively. Every unit that participates in an event earns one point.
As of June 15, 2016, U.S. Army Aviation Battalion maintains the lead with 35 points. The 441st Military Intelligence Battalion holds second place with 29 points and Medical Department Activity-Japan pulled into third place with 27 points. U.S. Army Japan (USARJ) remains in fourth place with 23 points. Since Monday USARJ has earned third place in the soccer tournament, second place in the "Not in My Squad" challenge, and first place in the swim relay.
On Friday, June 17, all teams will convene at the Camp Zama High School sports complex to compete to foot races and cheer on their comrades in the annual tug-of-war bout and soccer match between the JGSDF’s Central Readiness Force U.S. service members stationed Camp Zama.

100 Cars Compete in the Largest Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational Ever
Mooresville, NC - goo.gl/S9UbRh The 2014 @OUSCI was a bit different in many ways than years past. First off, the event took place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and secondly, the event was turned into a 2-day event. The two days turned out to be just what the doctor ordered as there were over 100 cars competing in the event.
@DetroitSpeedInc brought out the DSE 1970 #Camaro Test Car driven by Kyle Tucker and the DSE 2012 "White Monster" Camaro Test Car driven by Ryan Mathews. The two cars were stationed at Optima Alley during the @SEMAshow preparing for the event that took place the two days after SEMA.
There was a large contingent of DSE "Equipped" cars at this year's event. Everything from modern muscle to old 1960's original muscle were on hand ready to put the Detroit Speed suspension to the test during two grueling days of cone carving and high speed road course action.
The Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational is a points based competition that is looking for the top street car in the country. The competition consists of the Detroit Speed sponsored "Road Rally," the speed-stop challenge, the autocross, the design and engineering challenge as well as the @BFGoodrichTires Hot Lap Challenge.
Saturday was the first day of the competition and started out with the autocross and speed-stop challenge. The competition was fierce and non-stop as competitor after competitor staged and prepared to lay it all on the line to be named the ultimate street car. Following a full day of action, the Detroit Speed Road Rally kicked off and cruised to Shelby American, Inc.
Sunday was the BFGoodrich Hot Lap Challenge. The challenge was broken into 3 classes of competition, the novice, the advanced and finally the expert class. Each class was chalk full of DSE "Equipped" cars. It was a thrill to look up and down the staging area and see the DSE "Equipped" decal on so many amazing street machines. Ryan and Kyle ran hard in this event with Ryan finishing in 2nd place. Ryan and Bryan Johnson had their usual battle of 5th gens. It is great to see two DSE "Equipped" cars running up front in 2nd and 3rd place. The competitiveness between these two gentlemen is undeniable. The respect they have for one another is truly admirable and it shows out on the track as they battle neck and neck at virtually every event.
This has been by far the best OUSCI yet and we look forward to competing in the years to come. Congratulations to Danny Popp for his overall victory, Brandon Ranvek for his 2nd place finish and to Betim Berisha for finishing 3rd. We would also like to congratulate Bryan Johnson on capturing Detroit Speed's "Fastest Fifth Gen" award and for finishing in 4th place. DSE's own Ryan Mathews captured 5th place while Mark Stielow captured the Detroit Speed "Fastest American Iron Pre-1980" award in his amazing DSE Equipped Hellfire Camaro. Mark's Hellfire is an amazing build that he isn't afraid to get dirty. That's our kind of builder and vehicle, performance driven and track proven.

Since I am an amateur photographer, I do not charge a fee for use of my photos and hold a creative commons license so that someone who wants one of my photos is not limited by a fee or licensing. That being said, this fellow animal lover has a dog in trouble and not a budget to give him the help he needs. I have set up a ChipIn page to collect donations for my Corgi Sampson's $2,000+ surgery to fix a perineal hernia. Please click on the link below to read our anifamily's story and make donations via paypal. Any donation is greatly appreciated, but if you save my photos to your computer I would like to ask for $1 per photo saved and $5 donations per photo you decide to print.

Fort Buchanan, PR: The 346th Transportation Battalion and the 471st Engineer Company competed for the Army Award for Maintenance Excellence (AAME), Phase two. This is a very demanding Department of the Army (DA) competition, which took place 28 Feb thru 4 March 2011.
A group of extremely prepared officers and non commissioned officers answered the call in proud representation of the two units. Master Sgt. Vicente Vazquez (Battalion Maintenance NCO) represented the Headquarters and headquarters Detachment, 346th Transportation Battalion. Staff Sgts. Juan Tirado, Alex Rancier and Spc. Thomas DeLeon represented the 268th Cargo Transfer Company. Sgt. 1st Class Samuel Watson and Sgt. Tony D Vargas represented the 390th Transportation Company. Meanwhile, Sgt. 1st Class Ralph Marchese was competing for the 432nd Transportation Company and Sgt. Christian Mena represented the 268th Cargo Transfer Company.
Meanwhile, the 471st Engineer Company was also equally represented by Capt. Hector Mojica, Staff Sgt. Moises Melendez, Staff Sgt. Nidia Rodriguez, Sgt. Luis Ferreira, Sgt. Francys Hernandez and Spc. Bethzaida Peralta.
The evaluation consisted of an onsite detailed review of the maintenance program. “The 1st MSC units did an extremely well job with the evaluation”, said Chief Warrant Officer Four Nicole S. Rettmann, one of the AAME Evaluators. In addition, Sgt. Maj. Leon J. Chovan, another AAME evaluator, stated “Maintenance excellence is our goal (with this inspection)”.
Eleven Army Reserve units were nominated for phase 1 of the demanding competition. Only seven units complied with the high standards, survived the first phase and competed for phase 2. The scores will now be tallied to finally determine the winner. The AAME banquet will be held in Richmond, Va. on 12 May 2011.
The AAME winner will be the one that displays an expertise and professionalism in performing their tasks. Each unit is evaluated on their effectiveness in ensuring that Soldier competency is maintained. Assessments of each unit in the categories of attitude and effective leadership are rated with a benchmark based on those of past winners. The tenets of exceptional maintenance processes that were exhibited are validated and ranked. If you believe your unit should compete for next year’s inspections, go to Chapter 7 and Appendix D of AR 750-1, Army Materiel Maintenance Policy, and review the requirements.
