A number of Soldiers with the 188th Engineer Company exchange letters with schoolchildren in North Dakota thanks to some pen pal connections made by the North Dakota National Guard Youth Program.
One Soldier is Spc. Kris Schaller, of Fargo. When Schaller was home on leave recently, he called his pen pal, Max, to let him know he’d be passing through Bismarck and had time to meet with him and his mom there.
“He is an extremely valuable Soldier, and now this just speaks to what kind of person he is,” said 1st Sgt. Eric Binstock, of Argusville, N.D. “I am totally impressed and in awe of this amazing citizen-Soldier we acquired when Schaller volunteered to deploy with us.”
Max seems pretty in awe, too.
“The picture says it all,” Binstock wrote when he passed along a photo of the writing buddies. “I think this made Max’s year!”
Here’s what his mom had to say in a letter to Jessi Clark-Woinorowicz, state youth program coordinator: “I just wanted to share an exciting story of our day with you. Today the pen pal you set Max up (with) gave us a call. He is home on his two-week leave and was coming through Bismarck and wanted to see if he could meet Max! We met with him at Perkins for soda and a cookie, and he told us about Kuwait and showed Max some pictures of his grandpa in WWII. I must say, North Dakota produces some very respectable Soldiers. Again, thanks for all you have done to help make this possible for my son! Kris is a wonderful person, and we are very blessed to have the chance to meet him!”

A new friend Bob. He goes by the nickname of "Engineer". A resident of the city for the past 7 years,bob originally came from the east coast and settled in Tucson. So here we are 8 am on a Sunday in February and its freezing. Probably 40 degrees, Bob is making his morning brew and rolling his cigarette. He is such a cool guy. Talking to him you wouldn't know he lives on the street.
As in all cities, Tucson has its share of homeless residents. I have met many while working as a Paramedic. I try to go and spend some time with them listen to their stories and just enjoy their company. Some of them have had very interesting lives. Bob is a Vietnam Veteran.
In my eyes many homeless people I have met have had a rough patch at some point in their life that put them in their current predicament.
I processed the original with PS CS4 to enhance the character and create a little more dramatic moment.
A little desaturation, noise, high pass, and contrast goes a long way.
Equipment: Canon XSI - Sigma 50mm @ f2.0. I just love the simplicity of the 50mm lens. Lightroom 2.2 and PS CS4.

My mother-in-law didn't find this funny until she noticed the cop kicking the blind man (who was selling pencils, no less). Now I know where my wife gets her wicked sense of humor.

Breakfast with the Chief
By Dave Palmer
LOS ANGELES — Society of American Military Engineers posts from Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire held their 26th annual joint breakfast meeting Jan. 13. The keynote speaker currently serves as the Acting Chief of Engineers and Commanding General for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Los Angeles District Commander Col. Mark Toy introduced Maj. Gen. Merdith W.B. (Bo) Temple to more than 100 SAME members. He mentioned that, among the general's many accomplishments, he holds the distinction of being the only individual to ever hold all four general officer billets at USACE headquarters. Once a permanent Chief is named, Temple will retire with 37 years-of-service.
For his remarks, Temple took the opportunity to discuss where the Corps and the Army find themselves today and where they are headed.
“As fiscal year 2011 came to an end, the Corps was wrapping up an unprecedented period of construction and project execution,” said Temple. “For example, over the past five years, we provided $12 billion in BRAC-related (Base Realignment and Closure) construction; $7 billion of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (stimulus) work in both military and civil works programs; and about $14 billion of Gulf Coast recovery work!”
And, 2011 brought roughly three times the disaster declarations of a normal year.
“USACE responded to devastating tornadoes and severe spring storms, as well as hurricanes and tropical storms, under the National Response Framework in support of FEMA,” said Temple. “We are working now with the $1.7 billion appropriated supplement to the Corps’ budget in disaster relief to make emergency repairs before the 2012 flood season is upon us.”
For the future the general discussed the continuing fiscal challenges the Nation faces.
“We are operating in a more complex, less certain, resource-constrained environment which requires a more focused, systems-based approach and more collaboration to develop and deliver safe, quality engineering solutions on time, at or below cost, to our customers, stakeholders and partners.”
Even with fiscal challenges, locally, the District will benefit from Obama administration programs like America’s Great Outdoors and the new Urban Waters Federal Partnership which selected the Los Angeles River Watershed as one of seven pilot locations to enhance existing work like the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan.
“The Los Angeles District is a strong supporter of revitalizing the river, with several on-going studies and potential projects that aim to restore riverside habitat, increase public access to the river and promote recreational opportunities,” said Temple.
Military construction projects also hold great promise for the region.
“South Pacific Division’s FY 12 budget is about $1.2 billion, which is about $200 million more than last year, with two significant MILCON projects at Fort Irwin accounting for most of that increase," said Temple. "Another highlight is that Los Angeles District estimates that they will award more than $200 million to small businesses in FY 12.”
On January 21, 2010, a team of 10 French-speaking engineers traveled to Port-au-Prince, Haiti to help the UN assess the safety of buildings – principally, hospitals and food storage facilities – damaged by the January 12, 7.0M earthquake.
Stranger #98 of my Flickr 100 Strangers is Tommy, who works as an Engineer for a local railroad and lives in Old Town Spring where I met him while I was admiring his beautiful Confederate rose bush.
He shared with me that it was a cutting from his mom as were most of his plants... He has a lovely yard with Bottlebrush, Roses, Texas Star, and Confederate Roses along with other neat flowers. He tries to plant things that will attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.
Single currently though he has tried marriage twice and takes pride in his Texas roots (check out his Tin Texas star, Lone Star trim, and his cowboy hat planter on his front steps). He really enjoys his gardening and loves riding his "Harley" motorcycle. Laid back and happy to talk about his lovely garden and gave his mom lots of credit for getting him started. Thanks so much Tommy for taking time to visit with me and share your beautiful garden... and for agreeing to be one of my 100 Strangers on Flickr.

Engineer gets caught up on the newspaper while waiting for some obstruction across the tracks ahead to be cleared to return back with an empty boxcar from Big Bay Lumber on Goose Island.
Looks like reading a newspaper while waiting was standard for engineers. See this image-

Maryland Army National Guard Soldiers from the 253rd Engineer Company (Sapper) hitched a ride with the New Hampshire Air Guard to Puerto Rico this year for annual training. Nearly 50 Citizen Soldiers from the La Plata, Md., based unit along with eight soldiers from Bosnia and Herzegovina flew to Camp Santiago Joint Maneuver Training Center July 13-27. While there, they trained side-by-side with the 1013th Engineer Company (Sapper) and the 232nd Dive Team from Puerto Rico. The Maryland and Puerto Rican Citizen Soldiers shared best practices, experiences, and lessons learned with each other during the two-week AT.
Students visited our Aerospace Systems facilities to build devices to deliver a payload to a ground-based target. Eggs-cellent landing, future engineers!

RIVERBANK, California -- The Army turned over 28 undeveloped acres to the city at an Oct. 17 ceremony.
The land was formerly property of the Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant, which closed in 2010 under the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Act.
Paul Cramer, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, presided over the event and joined Congressman Jeff Denham in speaking at the ceremony.
Riverbank Mayor Richard O’Brien and Brenda Johnson-Turner, Director of Real Estate for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, signed the memorandum of agreement that transferred the land to the city. The agreement formally drops responsibility of the 28 acres from the Presidio of Monterey.
