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.

Athletes and coaches compete in the last two weeks of Friday Night Lights, the fitness competition held at CrossFit Scottsdale. Competitors from all over the valley (including Matt Lucas from CrossFit Southwest who earned third place overall in Men’s RX) put their strength, speed, endurance, power, flexibility and even accuracy to the test during the workout routines. The athletes with the most training, nutrition, and an elite level of physical fitness prevailed. Coach Luke Kayyem won the Rx Division for the men while Coach Melissa Einbinder won for the females. Several athletes qualified for the Southwest Regional competition, the next path to the Reebok Sponsored CrossFit Games.

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.

German-American couple brings troops together for competition
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
KUSEL, Germany – Raising her German Army patrol cap, Heidi Lehmann smiled as she watched her American husband join fellow U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern Soldiers on the firing line.
Lehmann, 31, an oberfeldwebel – equivalent to a U.S. Army sergeant first class – recently spent two days translating for eight garrison Soldiers as they competed for the Schützenschnur, a coveted German Army’s weapons proficiency badge. She and her husband, Sgt. Esse Agnegue, a U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern chaplain’s assistant, brought their units together for the training.
“It’s a nice experience for me to see my husband and the German Soldiers are happy to have the Americans here,” Lehmann said.
The couple met online when Agnegue, 31, was deployed to Iraq in 2007. He added her as a fan to his hip-hop music site. Later they realized their mutual love of motorcycles and travelling. They now have a one-year-old son.
Each morning, they put on camouflage fatigues of their respective armies and head off to separate bases – Lehmann to her transportation unit in Kusel and Agnegue to Pulaski Barracks in Kaiserslautern. Then they thought of a way to train together – though a shooting competition.
Garrison soldiers spent one day getting familiar with the German weapons using an indoor trainer.
The second day, they joined German troops on an outdoor range, firing a rifle, a pistol and a machine gun.
The Schützenschnur is awarded like the Olympics, in gold, silver and bronze. Of the seven garrison Soldiers who competed, three earned gold and four won bronze. U.S. Soldiers can wear the badge with their dress uniform.
American Soldiers in Baumholder recently held a seminar in English for German noncommissioned officers, said German 1st Lt. Sebastian Schmidt. That event, plus the marksmanship competition, forces German troops to exercise their language skills, Schmidt said, to prepare for NATO missions in Afghanistan.
“It’s an opportunity for our soldiers to practice English,” Schmidt said. “We have different experiences on missions and in training. We can fill a gap – where we can give our skills to the Americans get some skills from them.”
U.S. Soldiers often work with coalition counterparts – to include the German Army – while deployed overseas, said Capt. Tom Lukins, commander U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern’s Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment.
“This event strengthens the bond we have and builds partnerships for future training,” Lukins said.
Originally from Togo, Agnegue said meeting people and travelling is one of the best benefits of serving in the military, especially when it means sharing ideas through events like the Schützenschnur competition.
“The Army gave me so many opportunities to do things and this is one of those opportunities,” Agnegue said. “We’re working together, building camaraderie and that’s a great thing.”
Cadets compete in the 2012 Sandhurst Competition, sponsored by the West Point Department of Military Instruction, a two-day military training course at Camp Buckner at the United States Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. The Sandhurst Military Skills Competition has run in various configurations since 1967. At its core, SANCOM is an inter-company competition for USMA. Each USMA Cadet Company and Visiting Team selects a 9-member Squad (at least one member must be female) with two alternates. This squad is required to perform a series of challenging military tasks during a rapid, non-tactical move along a partly-prescribed 8.2 mile route. Photo by Tommy Gilligan/West Point Public Affairs

A good while ago, I posted a very similar colour image to this, but that one had no bus. The eagle eyed here may just spot a PMT Bristol VR, from the era when the fleet went through a brief period of being titled 'Potteries', its about to stop at the southbound Long Row stop, Kidsgrove. It's obviously a grim day with the playground of the then Kinnersley Memorial school annex looking more like a swimming pool, in fact there's a generally depressing air all round. The Police station's to the left, the old windmill's on the hill and Long Row itself still stands in the 1979 view. The pre-fab building as mentioned above, now a school, was formerly the town's Clinic. The dark area at the foot of the picture marks the old 'Loop Line' railway cutting which virtually paralelled the A50 as far as Hanley and competed for traffic with buses, a battle it would eventually loose. The whole area in the foreground between the ex railway and the bus is now occupied by an Aldi supermarket.

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.

• This was the largest OUSCI ever with over 100 cars competing in the new 2-day format

The best North Carolina National Guard engineers compete at the 105th Engineer Battalion Sapper States Invitational, held at Fort Bragg, N.C., Sept. 12 - 13. Six trials of brain and brawn hide in a one-kilometer circle in the woods and hills of the fort. Competitors do not know what the tasks are until they navigate to each station using map and compass. “It fits the Sapper mentality, you do not know what you have to do in combat so it keeps you always ready,” said 2nd Lt. Christopher Shannon, a platoon leader with the NCNG’s 151st Mobility Augmentation Company. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. 1st Class Robert Jordan / Released)

German-American couple brings troops together for competition
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
KUSEL, Germany – Raising her German Army patrol cap, Heidi Lehmann smiled as she watched her American husband join fellow U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern Soldiers on the firing line.
Lehmann, 31, an oberfeldwebel – equivalent to a U.S. Army sergeant first class – recently spent two days translating for eight garrison Soldiers as they competed for the Schützenschnur, a coveted German Army’s weapons proficiency badge. She and her husband, Sgt. Esse Agnegue, a U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern chaplain’s assistant, brought their units together for the training.
“It’s a nice experience for me to see my husband and the German Soldiers are happy to have the Americans here,” Lehmann said.
The couple met online when Agnegue, 31, was deployed to Iraq in 2007. He added her as a fan to his hip-hop music site. Later they realized their mutual love of motorcycles and travelling. They now have a one-year-old son.
Each morning, they put on camouflage fatigues of their respective armies and head off to separate bases – Lehmann to her transportation unit in Kusel and Agnegue to Pulaski Barracks in Kaiserslautern. Then they thought of a way to train together – though a shooting competition.
Garrison soldiers spent one day getting familiar with the German weapons using an indoor trainer.
The second day, they joined German troops on an outdoor range, firing a rifle, a pistol and a machine gun.
The Schützenschnur is awarded like the Olympics, in gold, silver and bronze. Of the seven garrison Soldiers who competed, three earned gold and four won bronze. U.S. Soldiers can wear the badge with their dress uniform.
American Soldiers in Baumholder recently held a seminar in English for German noncommissioned officers, said German 1st Lt. Sebastian Schmidt. That event, plus the marksmanship competition, forces German troops to exercise their language skills, Schmidt said, to prepare for NATO missions in Afghanistan.
“It’s an opportunity for our soldiers to practice English,” Schmidt said. “We have different experiences on missions and in training. We can fill a gap – where we can give our skills to the Americans get some skills from them.”
U.S. Soldiers often work with coalition counterparts – to include the German Army – while deployed overseas, said Capt. Tom Lukins, commander U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern’s Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment.
“This event strengthens the bond we have and builds partnerships for future training,” Lukins said.
Originally from Togo, Agnegue said meeting people and travelling is one of the best benefits of serving in the military, especially when it means sharing ideas through events like the Schützenschnur competition.
“The Army gave me so many opportunities to do things and this is one of those opportunities,” Agnegue said. “We’re working together, building camaraderie and that’s a great thing.”
