CAMP HUMPHREYS — The United States Army Garrison Humphreys Morale Welfare and Recreation sports division hosted its annual triathlon here June 23.
Daniel Bates won the men’s event, followed by Timothy Simmons and Zak Kuiper.
“It’s my first time winning, actually. It’s pretty cool,” Bates said. Even though his goggles broke during the swim, he still said swimming was probably his favorite part of the event. “The pool was amazing,” he said.
The triathlon comprised three portions: a swim in the Splish & Splash Water Park pool, a 20-kilometer bicycle ride, and a five-kilometer run.
Rebecca Corbin won the women’s triathlon, followed by Sara Rainville and Rebekah Bell. Brian Joseph won the men’s 33 and over division. J.B. Gomez finished as runner-up, while Dave Elger claimed third place. Wendy Tokach won the women’s 33 and over title, followed by Danielle Laatsch and Melissa Shafer.
Colonel Joseph P. Moore, United States Army Garrison Humphreys commander, presented trophies and medals to the winners.
Lonnie Herring, USAG Humphreys sports director, said the event means different challenges for different people. Some want to finish in the top 10, some are looking for a personal best, and others are just looking to finish.
Jimmy Sheehan, who competed in his first triathlon, said, “I liked it. I’m going to do more in the future” He added his highlight of the day was “finishing.”

Mr Teo meeting members of the WLR team deployed in Tarin Kowt, Oruzgan.
Last week, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean visited Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) troops deployed in Afghanistan to get a first-hand feel of their operations in Oruzgan and Bamiyan province. He was accompanied by Chief of Army Major-General Neo Kian Hong and other senior SAF officers.
During the visit, Mr Teo met the SAF Weapon Locating Radar (WLR) team at their operating base in Tarin Kowt, the provincial capital of Oruzgan. Mr Teo was briefed on the WLR team's tasks and responsibilities by Team Commander MAJ Vincent Koh Han Seah, and visited the team at their deployment site. Mr Teo interacted with the SAF troops, who shared with him their operational experiences during the two months they had been there. Speaking to the 17-man WLR team, Mr Teo emphasised the important role that they were playing in Afghanistan and Singapore's overall contributions to international security operations. Mr Teo said: "I can see the tough and challenging conditions you operate under many miles from home. The SAF's deployments to Oruzgan and Bamiyan are important for the people of Afghanistan and are a part of Singapore's overall contribution to international security operations. I have full confidence that you will continue to do Singapore and the SAF proud in carrying out your duties vigilantly and professionally." The WLR team was deployed to Tarin Kowt in September this year to provide early warning of rocket attacks and enhance force protection measures for International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) personnel at the base. There will be a rotation of teams in January 2010 with the second team taking over till June 2010. While in Tarin Kowt, Mr Teo also visited the field hospital where a 20-man SAF medical team was deployed from November 2008 to May this year to provide emergency and trauma care and primary healthcare. The SAF will be deploying a medical and surgical team to this field hospital in Oruzgan in the coming months.
Mr Teo also visited the Winter Deployment Team (WDT) in Bamiyan led by Lieutenant-Colonel Andrew Chan. The 3-man WDT, deployed in November 2009, serves as part of the New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team, and works closely with the local government in the delivery and distribution of humanitarian aid donated by the SAF to the local populace. The WDT will be in Bamiyan till May next year. The WDT replaced a 6-man construction engineering team deployed to Bamiyan from April to October this year for 6-months, to supervise the construction of a Paediatric and Women's Ward extension for the Bamiyan Provincial Hospital, as well as a security wall around the Provincial Administrative Building.
The SAF has made deployments to Afghanistan since 2007 as part of Singapore's contributions to multinational stabilisation and reconstruction efforts there.

Mid caption: AASAM 2011
This year's Australian Army Skill at Arms Meeting (AASAM), conducted at Puckapunyal Military Range, is designed to pitch the best soldiers against each other in a tough combat-like environment. This focus ensures the contest is more representative of the skills required of a modern fighting soldier.
Since 1984, AASAM has been Australia's premier military shooting tournament, with a growing reputation worldwide. The activity is open to all ADF members and also attracts champions from 12 international defence forces.
This year the competition includes teams from Australian, Canada, France (FFNC), Indonesia, Timor Leste, Brunei, Netherlands, US Marines, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and contingent of Japanese observers.
Irrespective of nationality, the common language is marksmanship. The competition will be judged through a series of team and individual events encompassing both day and night shooting from a bayonet assault course simulating close quarter fighting to deliberate shooting out to 400 metres. Snipers will engage targets out to 800 meters. Contestants will fire the pistol, rifle, sniper rifle and machine gun on standard issue to their defence force.
The competition decides the champion shot of the ADF, as well as providing a venue to determine who is the best shooting unit or formation team in the Australian Army. The international aspect of the competition determines the best individual shooter and competing nation.
This year sees the introduction of computer simulation into a military shooting competition as well as advanced moving targetry for snipers to engage. This is a first for the ADF.
Matches are designed to replicate some of the conditions and stressors of current

makeprojects.com/Project/Army-Guy-Bowl/1338/1
I'm using a glass bowl as the mold instead of a stainless steel one because I couldn't find a stainless bowl at the thrift store. The glass gets a bit hot and you have to stop and let it cool a couple of times but otherwise works fine and the plastic doesn't want to stick to it.

South West soldiers train to fight in built-up areas
Around 80 Riflemen from 6th Battalion The Rifles (6 RIFLES) have taken part in Exercise WYVERN TEMPEST, around Imber Village on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire.
The Reservists from across the South West were training to fight on operations in built-up areas (OBUA) and their mission was to defeat an enemy force which was trying to occupy the complex of buildings.
Major John Penhale, from Cheltenham, runs a recruitment company for armed service leavers and is also Training Major for 6 RIFLES, having served as a regular soldier for 16 years.
He said: “This particular exercise is the culmination of our offensive operations package.
“So what we have tried to do is combine what they have learnt from patrols and also the OBUA package, and all the skills they have learnt in the last six months they have had the opportunity to use.”
Rifleman Steven Morgan, from Gloucester, serves with A Company 6 RIFLES. He said: “This exercise requires a lot of physical effort and moving around as we offer fire-support and clear buildings.
“This is why I joined the infantry and this is the icing on the cake when we get to test and challenge ourselves in demanding environments.
“It is about really putting the hard yards in and coming away feeling like we have done the job proud.”
When not in uniform Steve is an Electrical Buyer for Honda in Swindon. “Honda gives me two weeks unpaid leave to do my TA training and skills for my military career,” he said.
The training for 6 RIFLES does not stop here and already the forecast of events is busy with the next phase including another overseas training exercise, which follows on from a very successful Summer Camp in Cyprus back in June.
