*THIS IS JUST TODAY'S PLACEHOLDER! I really need to prioritize, schools starting soon, and I find myself glued to Flickr after I upload something. SO I'm going to tone it down a little, but I'm still doing my 365, don't worry.
I recycled this: I had it in my stream when I first joined Flickr, but deleted it because it was really ugly and saturated and sharpened HAHAHA -_- so I re-edited it and reuploaded it.
Oh yeah. This might be deleted soon, especially if nobody likes it hahaha :P

Army Family Action Plan leads to change
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – Home on leave from Iraq, Matthew Smith swerved across an Indiana roadway to avoid a soda can he thought was a roadside bomb and nearly crashed into oncoming traffic.
Smith, 27, now a sergeant with the Kaiserslautern-based 457th Civil Affairs Battalion, mentioned the 2007 memory to his wife Stephanie, who had an idea. Why doesn’t the Army make mental health screenings mandatory for deployed Soldiers before their Rest and Recuperation leave?
“That event really scared him,” said Stephanie Smith, an Army Community Service employee at U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern. “If someone had warned him – to take time to reintegrate and make adjustments on R&R – that could have been prevented.”
Last year, the Smith’s submitted the idea as a suggestion the Army Family Action Plan – a grassroots program where community members indentify quality of life issues for the Army to address. It ended up being considered at the highest Army levels.
“Change starts with people like me, just another community member,” Smith said.
Representatives from U.S. Army Garrison Baden-Württemberg and U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern came together Oct. 19 for a combined 2011 AFAP conference. Roughly 200 people attended the three-day event held at the Kaiserslautern Community Activity Center on Daenner Kaserne.
In past years, ideas were submitted anonymously in community drop boxes. This year, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern webmaster Brandon Spragins created a way for community members to offer AFAP ideas online – significantly increasing submission numbers from previous years, said Michelle Thomas, Army Community Service director at U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern. Also, mobile device photographed a special bar code that pointed them directly to the submission site.
“This allowed users to offer ideas with ease, from either their workplace or the comfort of their home,” Spragins said. “Using today’s interactive technology revolutionizes how community members can suggest improvements and make changes both locally and Army wide.”
At the conference, issues were prioritized and solutions recommended. Some topics brought up this year included improvements to parking, housing, speeding on post and the transformation of Sembach Kaserne, where several Army units are moving.
Some issues were raised to higher commands or senior Army leadership. Other problems can be addressed at the local level, Thomas said.
“We have command team that has no problem with confronting issues and finding solutions. They’re family and Soldier oriented,” Thomas said. “When you have that in a command team, you have a wonderful thing.”
AFAP conferences began in 1983. Early issues focused on child care standards and volunteer support. Since then, milestones included changes to pay, healthcare, insurance, single
Soldier programs and school liaisons. AFAP suggestions also led to an increase of annual leave carryover, toll-free hotlines for wounded service members and education benefits for surviving spouses. AFAP issues even led to legislative changes as well as changes of Army and DoD policies, AFAP program manager Kimberly Lazarow said.
“Our first step is to see if the submitted issues affect the local community or is it something Army-wide,” Lazarow said. “About 90 percent of issues submitted are worked at the local level, others are pushed higher.”
Last year, the Smith’s issue was elevated through Installation Management Command to the Department of the Army for consideration.
“This really works. Everything has to get looked at and nothing gets pushed off to the side,” Stephanie Smith said. “One little event in my husband’s life may change Army policy.”

Veteran, active-duty and civilian members of the U.S. Army’s Communication Electronics Command (CECOM) workforce participated in the command's first ever “Fun Run,” Nov. 10 at APG. During the run, participants had the option of either a 5K run or a 2 mile walk around the outside of APG’s C5ISR campus. The run was an excellent opportunity to prioritize physical fitness and wellness, strengthen camaraderie amongst CECOM teammates and to celebrate the many military veterans in the CECOM workforce. APG Senior Commander and CECOM Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Robert Edmonson II, and CECOM Command Sgt. Maj. Kristie Brady led the run, although Nicholas Basirico with PEO C3T was the fastest runner of the morning!

In addition environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, current, chlorophyll and oxygen will be measured.

NYC Transit Crews fanned out along segments of 14 subway lines this past weekend to perform heavy duty maintenance and upgrades to signals, stations, tracks and other subway components. This work helps to improve service by increasing the reliability of the subway infrastructure.
Near the Ft. Hamilton Pkwy D station along a section of the line referred to as the West End Line, NYC Transit Track Crews removed old sections of tapered track tie panels that were nearing the end of their useful life and replaced them with new panels. Taper tie panel installation is similar to our regular panel install, however, the tie has a “taper” on it to create the super elevation (one side of the tie is higher than the other side). Super elevation is used to counter act the forces pushing a train towards the outer side of a curve. Similar to the banking found on a race track, like Daytona. The panels are installed in 13’ sections. This upgraded infrastructure will help improve reliability and provide for a smooth ride along the line.
This work is funded by the MTA’s Capital Program which helps prioritize the investments that will be essential to renew, enhance, and expand the system to meet the changing needs of the region, its economy, and its residents.
During current 2010-2014 Capital Program we’ve bought new subway cars, new commuter railroad cars, new local buses, and new express buses. We installed more modern signals for faster and better rides. We’re building new rail lines and connections that will serve New York for generations to come. And after Superstorm Sandy ravaged our network, we committed nearly $1 billion to fix the damage and fortify against future storms. With a fully-funded 2015-2019 Capital Program, we’ll continue making our system more resilient against big storms. We’ll bring Positive Train Control—a state-of-the-art signal system—to Metro-North and the LIRR. We’ll continue introducing new routes for Select Bus Service, which uses off-board fare collection, low-floor, high capacity buses, and dedicated bus lanes to cut travel times by nearly 20 percent. We’ll replace 86 miles of subway track with safer, smoother track. And we’ll complete hundreds of similar projects that keep our customers safe and on time. These types of projects may not be glamorous, but together with the normal replacement of our trains and buses, they are the key to moving 8.7 million people every day, safely and reliably.
