ORLANDO, Fla. - Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined their active duty and Reserve Officer Training Corps brothers and sisters in welcoming tens of thousands of spectators to the Florida Classic, one of the nation’s largest football rivalries between two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University.
In the hours leading to the opening kickoff Nov. 19, 2016, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., the Soldiers helped members from the Army Marketing Research Group encourage BCU and FAMU fans to test their strength, endurance and mental aptitude in various interactive activities featured at the Go Army booths. The troops motivated men and women from all walks of life to set personal records for planks, pullups and pushups. They also lent a hand in several creative challenges that emphasized teamwork and critical thinking.
Many of the thousands of fans who waited for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the troops about their training, experience and aspirations. While these casual conversations opened opportunities to introduce potential recruits to the Army’s robust enlisted and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, they also fostered greater respect and understanding about the Army’s role in developing strong communities and mutually beneficial partnerships both at home and abroad.
The fans’ energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie also demonstrated that the Florida Classic and the U.S. Army share common values. Their sincere interest in learning about the Army’s vision, capabilities and career opportunities exemplified how rivalries on the gridiron can shape resilient individuals who possess the character qualities to lead and mentor men and women on the battlefield.
Several Soldiers received complimentary access to the field during the game. Army Master Sgt. Shantell D. Aviles, noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Office of the Inspector General, 143d ESC, watched many Florida Classic football games during her childhood and teenage years. Although she and her family were no strangers to seeing the game from the stands, Aviles had never before set foot on the sidelines. With a smile never left her face, she took full advantage of the exclusive press pass to take photos with the mascots, shake hands with the drum majors, and cheer her FAMU Rattlers from the endzone.

Xerion likes to help me do push-ups. She also likes to get on my lap when I want to do pike ups, which is more of a hinderance.

I'm Appa from Avatar. My son tells me "Yip yip!", and that's my cue to go up. Then he tells me down, then yip yip again. He's a good drill sergeant.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Best Warrior Competition began in earnest today as 12 Soldiers from the 143d ESC and the 321st Military Intelligence Battalion demonstrated their physical power and mental might to complete a gauntlet of Soldier skills.
Dawn had yet to illuminate the lakes and trees blanketing Camp Blanding, Fla., when the Soldiers endured an Physical Fitness Test directed by Army Reserve drill sergeants from A Company, 2nd Battalion, 485th Infantry Regiment (Initial Entry Training) out of Jacksonville, Fla. After completing pushups, sit-ups and a two-mile run, the competitors had less than hour to eat, clean, change uniforms, don rucksacks and step into a van bound for Camp Blanding’s live fire ranges.
The 143d ESC cadre and A-2/485 drill sergeants managed the ranges that tested the each competitor’s competency with the M4 Carbine, M9 Pistol and M203 Grenade Launcher—all while wearing a gas mask. The Soldiers were then ferried deep into Camp Blanding’s dense forest. The troops applied their land navigation skills to physically locate three distant points on a map using only a compass and protractor.
As the hot, dry day relinquished control to a cold, moonless night, the competitors returned to the field with weapons in hands and night vision goggles over their eyes. Muzzle flashes pierced the darkness as the competitors attempted to eliminate their artificially illuminated targets.
The exhausted yet enthusiastic dozen returned then to their barracks to clean weapons, write an essay and prepare for another grueling day that begins with a 10-mile road march.

The team mascot, this poor guy dressed up like a Gopher, had to do push ups on a plank held up by cheerleaders in the same number of points. I think in the end we had 63 points, so he actually did 63 push-ups. I don't feel too badly for him, though, because I bet there were at least 3 of them.

I borrowed this Army doll from my nephew. I thought and thought about what to do with him and remembered these visual stations at the park. I ripped my favorite army cargo shorts in the process of bending to take the shots. Oh, the irony. Anyhow, this is SOOC.

Ok, so I've been on weight watchers for a week now. I had been getting out a getting some exercise trying to get my body ready for some training. Since today is Monday, I decided to see how I was doing and took a fitness test. Pushups, situps, and then a two mile run. The standard Army test. Here is how I did:
Pushups: 22
Situps: 38
Two Mile Run: 20.06
Now I'll log that on my project365 set comment thing and every monday just try to beat my previous weeks score.
I run every day, but at least 4 days a week I do a little bit of yoga and/or a push up sit up combo.
Today, was really cold and rainy so I did not feel like taking my socks off to do yoga.
I am obsessed with running, but the stretching and strength training of yoga, etc. has made me feel better all around.
