along with his student (i feel really good that engineers are taking part).
Suhail bhai is request to forward me the links/names
Early days in basic training. Barrack Room group with room NCO in the middle. The other 6 in the front row were OR 1's ( potential officers) Not a happy bunch. Look at those misrable faces! Things got a lot better After three months basic training when we were posted to our units. Me to 32 Assault Engineer Regiment. (an armoured tank regiment )
Good times then ;-)

Gordon Reid, Chief Engineer of PS Waverley. I wonder how his white shirt stays white!! I was lucky to have a few hours shooting interior shots on Waverley and was a pleasure to get time to photograph the crew who happily gave up their time.
Europe District paid tribute to Kurt Glockengiesser for his distinguished service as an electrical engineer in the Engineering and Construction Division during an award ceremony July 31 at the Amelia Earhart Center in Wiesbaden, Germany. Lt. Col. Charles Hemphill, deputy commander, presented him with a Certificate of Retirement and the Commander’s Award for Civilian Service. Glockengiesser’s wife, Gina, also attended and the couple received gifts from district colleagues. The German local national employee first joined then-Europe Division in 1977, working for seven years at the Frankfurt headquarters. He went into private business but rejoined U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District in April 2002. He provided exceptional advice and support to field offices while directly contributing to the quality of facilities constructed by the district with his technical expertise and professionalism, according to the award citation. He also mentored countless U.S. personnel on construction and European electrical safety. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by Vince Little)
A 29 hour closure of platform 1 at Dundee was required to carry out some essential maintenance/strengthening work to equipment rooms under the track. Taken with permission of those carrying out the work, a rather large hole has taken the place of the Up Through Line!

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District officials discuss the $400,000 Nursing School renovation project Oct. 27, 2010, during a tour of the facility, located in Tbilisi, Georgia. The project is funded by the U.S. European Command and U.S. Agency for International Development, and managed by the district.

ESA engineer Jules Noirant takes a broom to a satellite simulator platform, as it floats on a cushion of air over the flattest floor in Europe.
The goal is to test the ability of the REACSA platform’s guidance, navigation and control algorithm to respond to resistance to its programmed motion and overcome it.
See a video clip of the interaction here.
This ultra-flat 45 sq. m floor is the ORBIT (Orbital Robotics test Bench for Integrated Technology) part of the Orbital Robotics and Guidance Navigation and Control Laboratory at ESA's ESTEC technical centre in the Netherlands.
Rigourously kept clean of dust, ORBIT works like an air hockey table in reverse: air-bearing platforms are sent scooting across it, to simulate the free-floating behaviour experienced in space, except in two dimensions instead of three. Arranged around the floor is a motion capture camera system to track the precise movement of these platforms.
Recreating the weightlessness of space on earth is essential to validate orbital technologies before they are sent to space. Weightlessness effects can be counterintuitive – even a very light contact force often triggers a big change in motion, and nothing is anchored up in Earth orbit.
The ORBIT facility has been used to test the robotic capture of orbital debris, the operation of satellite interlocking elements in weightlessness, and soon for a new ESA Education campaign – the ESA Academy Experiments Programme.

“Engineers comprise another crucial part in DARKDAWN’s total military force. Though lacking in advanced combat skills, and thus vulnerable when exposed on the battlefield or behind enemy lines, engineers are capable of repairing almost any broken machinery or piece of hardware in record time. Their skill with the tools of their trade and their speed with their hands and brains allows them to conserve precious time and increase the chances of a mission’s success. Often wielding short submachine guns, and covered in storage pouches, engineers are always handy and ready to tackle any misbehaving piece of machinery, resolving the situation as fast as they know how.”
Primary Weapon of Choice: Short Submachine Gun
Secondary Weapon(s) of Choice: (Wrench?)
Effective #Units per Assignment: As Needed
Preferred Hours of Operation: Daylight
Skills & Qualifications: Basic Weapons Training, Advanced Training in Mechanics & Engineering, TERR (Tactical Equipment Recovery and Repair), etc.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District’s Special Emphasis Hispanic Employment Program Committee highlighted Hispanic Heritage Month with a special presentation on Oct. 15. While the event marked the close of the official remembrance, it featured a group that is dedicated to new beginnings.
The group, founded in 1995 by Sister Eileen McNerney in Santa Ana, Calif., was named for St. Joseph, the patron saint of workers. The word “taller” is Spanish for workshop; St. Joseph’s Workshop becomes “Taller San Jose.” In her bio, McNerney said she decided that the crush of poverty was at the heart of the gang violence she was witnessing in her neighborhood. She has dedicated herself to developing programs to move young people from violence to productivity.
Representing Taller San Jose were Art Guerrero, outreach coordinator, and Raul Guzman, program manager for construction and green technology. According to Guerrero, their programs have enjoyed a great deal of success with 92 percent of their students with a criminal record, not reoffending after completing the program. He shared with the audience that they each have the opportunity to contribute to the success of these young people.
“By understanding the challenges, the difficulties that a lot of these young people have, [remember] they all have potential,” said Guerrero.
TSJ has operated a construction program for eight years now and according to Guzman it has a rigorous application process.
“We have three sessions a year and we receive 120 applications,” said Guzman. “Out of 120, we can accept only 20.”
The applicants attend an orientation and several will drop out at that point, added Guzman. Then “Tests for Adult Basic Education” are administered and they lose a few more. The interview process eliminates several with mandatory drug testing making the largest impact on the equation. Ultimately, they end up with a pool of 30 applicants to choose 20 for each class.
“We recently had a graduation, we only graduated 10 students,” said Guzman. “The problem is it’s not for everyone. We have the same expectations that an employer does and that is; they need to be there on time every day, motivated and ready to work.”
Guzman added that to make a difference in the world today, his message is simple; get involved. Don’t re-invent the wheel but make yourself available as a mentor and share your skills, he said.
“They are very excited at the prospect of bringing their students out to Prado Dam,” said Jennie Ayala, District Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics program manager. “It will help their students understand that their training can lead to work on significant projects that serve and protect our communities. And it reinforces the importance of STEM education and careers.”
Ayala added that the work the District is already doing in youth outreach through STEM with partner organizations like Great Minds in STEM, through STEM-up and programs such as the Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards Conference, the Corps can certainly share skills and introduce even more young people to the concept of, “BUILDING STRONG and Taking Care of People!”

Here are a few pics of an engine casualty we had a while back. We spun a couple of main bearings (which then fried and melted to the crank and rods) and broke the oil pump. One of the pistons overheated and caused the liner o-rings to fail, which then flooded the crankcase with coolant.
