Aircraftwoman Jenny Remfrey from No. 1 Airfield Operations Support Squadron at RAAF Darwin assists US Navy parachute rigger Joseph Saldivar in sorting out the safety equipment used by the passengers on board C-2A Greyhounds recent ferry from the USS George Washington. Mid Caption: As part of Exercise Talisman Sabre 2011 the United States Navy’s versatile transport, the C-2A Greyhound, conducts regular re-supply and personnel movements to and from its ‘home’, the aircraft carrier USS George Washington. The C-2A features pragmatic design features such as foldaway wings, allowing it to be based onboard the carrier. During the exercise, the Greyhound runs a regular logistical service allowing US Navy personnel to come ashore and supplies the guests to be ferried back to the carrier. Australian Air Movements along with Australian Customs and Quarantine personnel are providing support from RAAF Base Darwin to the US Navy.

A new year means a great opportunity to recommit to diet and exercise. I try not to think of it as a resolution but just a starting point. almost like starting a diet on monday. I wasn't able to start on the 1st since the kids were out of school. I started on the first monday they were back and so far I've done pretty well. I have been a member of LA Fitness for years but when I started school I put my membership on hold. When I went back on this day I was happy to see that they had all new equipment including these snazzy new ellipticals, my exercise of choice along with step aerobics.
