I put in cardio on the exercise bike (30 minutes three days a week right now) not because I like it that much, but because it is good for me -- especially my knees. Eventually my face stops being red.
Soldiers and Airmen from the Virginia National Guard's 34th Civil Support Team prepare to search for possible chemical or biological threats May 17 on board a ship in the James River near Fort Eustis during the Hampton Roads Full Scale Exercise. The HRFSE is being held May 17 through 19 to provide the Commonwealth of Virginia the opportunity to strengthen its anti-terrorism capabilities as well as test local, state and federal response efforts in maritime, hostage and mass casualty scenarios. Based at Fort Pickett, the mission of the 34th CST is to support civil authorities at a domestic chemical biological radiological nuclear high yield explosive emergency incident site with identification and assessment of hazards, advice to civil authorities, and facilitating the arrival of follow-on military forces during emergencies and incidents of WMD terrorism.

From March 5-17, Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) from 1Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group and 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group alongside the 3rd Air Support Operations Group (United States Air Force) took part in Ex EVERGLADE SUN in Avon Park, Florida.
This training tested and honed the skills of our JTACs in advanced close air support tactics. The exercise concluded with evaluations that saw several JTACs become qualified to be deployed on international operations.

I really liked how this one turned out. I might have to do something like this for a portrait! Grid spot rocks!
Happened to shoot these with my neighbor (also an aspiring strobist) this weekend, and since they were the two of us experimenting with gobos and grid spots and other light modifiers, I felt it would be okay to post them, as we did exactly what the assignment called for - but without the structure of an actual assignment!
Don't recall Mark II settings, but had a Nikon SS-20 on a stand camera right with a Grid Spot I had just made - about an Inch and a half deep - out of a Home Depot moving box and a gobo made out of the same box on a Nikon SB-80dx.
On camera 580 set to 1/128 to set off peanut slave on SS-20 and similar function on SB-80dx

This is my room at night. Before I go to sleep, I turn on the light, just so I can see where I am going. The only light I leave off about ten minutes before I close my eyes is the one on the ceiling.

Medically Friendly Shelter Exercise
June 8th and 9th, 2011
The City conducted a major full-scale exercise of the new Medically Friendly Shelter (MFS) in the Virginia Beach Field House. The public private partnership with the newly opened athletic facility provides a 170,000 square foot venue where the City can accommodate people with special needs during a Category 2 hurricane or other declared emergency.
More than 25 staff and volunteers came together in the middle of the night on June 8 to turn ball courts into a mass care area and space for family members.
Just after sunrise on June 9, over 100 members reported to organize registration, triage, medical care and logistical support for the facility. Throughout the morning, volunteers reported to the Field House seeking shelter for an array of simulated medical conditions. Each was screened then placed at a cot where they could be monitored by nursing staff.
While the Department of EMS is the lead agency for coordinating the MFS, this event would not have been possible without participation from across City staff and community organizations.
Participants included City Departments of Fire, Health, Sheriff, Police, Human
Services, ComIT Multimedia Services, Public Works and Public Utilities. Volunteers responded from the Medical Reserve Corps, CERT, Amerigroup, American Red Cross, rescue squads and local military units.

THE biggest live exercise of its kind ever held in Greater Manchester – Exercise Triton II – came to an end this morning (Friday, July 16, 2016) after months of intense planning.
Around 36 organisations across the region and nationally have been taking part in this major emergency planning exercise which saw dozens of emergency vehicles at sites across Greater Manchester and Chinook helicopters flying across the skies.
The complex scenario used was designed to test how local authorities, emergency services and other partners are equipped to tackle a major emergency working together.
Participating ‘players’ also included the military, government, health and utility companies, as well as voluntary agencies.
The exercise started on Monday, July 11, 2016, with ‘warnings’ from the Met Office regarding adverse weather and from the Environment Agency about the growing risk of regional flooding.
The emergency services, including Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), and partners put procedures in place to ensure that where possible properties and critical infrastructure were protected and the public were warned. This theme was carried on through Tuesday, July 12 and Wednesday, July 13, 2016.
To ensure that both players and plans were tested to their full, a dramatic scenario developed on Thursday, July 14, whereby the bank on the Dove Stone Reservoir in Oldham was breached and water cascaded through a number of boroughs within Greater Manchester.
This meant that evacuation procedures had to be put in place and rest centres set up. Later in the day, a coach ploughed into the River Tame in a mock crash and a full-scale search and rescue operation was carried out.
Paul Argyle, GMFRS’ Deputy County Fire Officer and Chair of Greater Manchester Resilience Forum, said: “Exercise Triton II was a hugely complex emergency planning exercise and I would like to thank all of the agencies that have taken part this week.
"This was a very detailed scenario which had impacts across every part of the region and necessitated a full range of partners taking part.
"The scale of the destruction and chaos in the exercise was deliberately designed to test the region at full stretch.
"We have to do this to ensure we are well prepared to deal with any future real-life event or disaster that might occur – and it is also invaluable that those taking part got the chance to practise essential response skills that would be used during a major incident like this.
"I would particularly like to thank all the volunteers who took part in this exercise. The patience and understanding of local residents and communities on Thursday (as response plans went into effect at 'live' sites) was also greatly appreciated.
“All players have now been 'stood down'. Our next task is to evaluate how the exercise went, step by step. We will want to find out what worked well and crucially to identify and learn any lessons that could help us in the future in real-life situations. I would like to point out that incidents as extreme as this are highly unlikely, but ensuring we practice our response means that we are ready to respond to a variety of scenarios."
