EXERCISE PATRICIA ADVENTURE: 31 May to 5 June 2015 -- Members of First Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (1 PPCLI) conducted EXERCISE PATRICIA ADVENTURE from 31 May to 5 June in the Rocky Mountains. The battalion refresher training involved soldiers rotating through a variety of activities – rappelling, rock climbing, caving, whitewater rafting, and orienteering. Other participants included members from 39 Canadian Brigade Group (CBG), 41 CBG, 2-2 Stryker (U.S), New Zealand Armed Forces and members of B Battery,1 Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. “My intent is to continue to foster warrior spirit and sharpen the battalion’s axe by providing unique adventure training that promotes a high level of physical fitness and challenges the cognitive abilities of our soldiers,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Stalker, Commanding Officer of 1 PPCLI. This high-impact, specialized training saw soldiers completing a variety of challenges both as individuals and as part of teams. Photos by Grant Cree
I could have used a reflector to fill in the right side of my face, but I kind of like the shadow.

1st MSC hosts mobilization readiness exercise
Camp Santiago, Salinas: Soldiers of the 1st Mission Support Command's Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment hosted a mobilization readiness exercise at Camp Santiago, P.R., 14-27 March.
During the event, HHD Soldiers completed readiness checks for over 1,000 Soldiers. Events such as this are commonly held annually to ensure that commanders can maintain their unit readiness.
"We try to do this as the units get closer to their available year in order to have them improve their overall readiness and mobilization posture in the event they get selected (for mobilization) down the road", said Gerardo Rodriguez, mobilization officer for the 1st MSC.
Rodriguez said MRXs help units maintain readiness for deployments but they also serve the individual Soldier.
"As part of the MRX ... there are different stations and one of them, one of the most important, is medical. A Soldier is completely checked and whatever cannot be fixed at this location ... the Soldier can go to a private (medical) provider and get that situation fixed and that helps them with their overall readiness",he said.
Soldiers rotate through eleven different stations in total where they are checked in by HHD Soldiers and efficiently move through the station. While the process has been refined over the years at times people still tend to get impatient.
Staff Sgt. Anaselly Ramos, logistics noncommissioned officer with the mobilization team, know the experience can be stressful but to help keep the level of frustration down she leads groups of Soldiers through stations when she sees openings. While each group of Soldiers is instructed to follow the schedule given to them for the MRX, Ramos' method keeps things moving along too.
Keeping track of the entire flow of Soldier traffic is a system called the mobilization plan data viewer.
"It shows all the stations and actually it runs the SRP (MRX) completely", said Spc. Hector Rodriguez, from Bayamon.
"It's tracking each Soldier by station ... you can see how many have completed (the stations) and how many have not",added Rodriguez, who is assigned to the 311th Quartermaster Company.
While the process can be tedious for the Soldiers going from station to station, one Soldier working at the medical readiness station found the MRX to be an opportunity to challenge herself by practicing her public speaking skills.
Spc. Jenniffer Gonzalez Diaz, a traffic management coordinator, who's primary language is Spanish, began giving the medical station briefings to many groups of Soldiers. Gonzalez admits that speaking English is not one of her strengths but her determination brought her recognition among her peers and even the Commanding General of the 1st MSC Brig. Gen. Fernando Fernandez.
"They gave me the opportunity to participate in this activity so I can ... help them in the system with the Soldiers, and I practiced a lot my English",said Gonzalez.
As a member of the the 390th Seaport Company, in Ceiba, Gonzalez recognizes the importance of refining her English language skills. When given the opportunity to refine her abilities when she signed up for the Army, Gonzalez participated in English language courses.
"I improved my English, I practiced my English when I took the class but I knew a little bit of the language because we are Puerto Rico and we are bilingual so we took classes when we started in (grade) school", said Gonzalez.
Gonzalez knows this isn't the only challenge she'll have to overcome in her military career, which is why she stays motivated and maintains a positive attitude.
"The important thing for me is to show people that you are trying, don't get upset, don't get mad if someone corrects you because they are helping you",she said. "If you don't know, ask, so you can learn ... the stuff you learn nobody can take away."

"Those must be cross country runners, cuz they're running up a hill."
Snapped today as I was giving Max (who's visiting till Sunday, w00t w00t!) a tour of the Gates center as well as enjoying some Pittsburgh sunshine while it lasts. I used the HDR funcionality on the iPhone to take this, and hence the movement between multiple exposures caused this effect. It's interesting and a bit different, to say the least.

Exercise Civil Bridge is being conducted by elements of 77 Brigade – a specialist British military unit that is working alongside the government and disaster relief organisations as part of an annual overseas training exercise.
Their mission during the two-week deployment will be to look at examples of the existing Philippine earthquake contingency response plans and, working with Philippine colleagues, make suggestions that will help save lives by enhancing the country’s ability to respond to an earthquake in an urban setting.

Not the most interesting photo I've ever taken, but today is a "don't break the 365 run" filler sort of day.
I have recently put a chin up bar on the door to the kitchen. When I started I could barely lift myself an inch off the ground. My challenge is to have a go everytime I walk through the door.
I can do one whole chin-up now. Woo hoo, go me!

Following a series of severe asthma attacks, and just before he turned 12, Thedore Sr. famously told his son, "Theodore, you have the mind, but you have not the body, and without the help of the body, the mind cannot go as far as it should. You must make your body. It is hard drudgery to make one’s body, but I know you will do it.” The family constructed a gymnastic set on the second porch outside the nursery, and young Theodore began a steady regimen of exercise, transforming himself.
The Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site, located at 28 East 20th Street, is a recreated three-story brownstone replicating the birthplace and childhood home of the 26th President of the United States. The house that originally stood on the site was built in 1848 and bought by the Roosevelts in 1854. Theodore Roosevelt was born there on October 27, 1858 and lived in the house with his family until 1872, when the neighborhood became more commercial and the family moved uptown to 57th Stret. The original building was demolished in 1916, but upon Roosevelt’s death in 1919, the lot was purchased and the house rebuilt by the Women’s Roosevelt Memorial Association, which merged with the Roosevelt Memorial Association to form the Theodore Roosevelt Association. The replica of the house, designed to look s it was in 1865, as well as the museum situated in the row house next door at #26 was designed by noted female American architect Theodate Pope Riddle. The house was rededicated in 1923, and refurbished with many original pieces. The birthplace was donated to the National Park service in 1963.
The Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966.
