Summary

Royal Canadian Air Force Major Darla Oja has served for 24 years, and currently is the Logistics Officer for Canada at Rim of the Pacific.
Oja, from Leoville, Saskatchewan, said she joined the Royal Canadian Air Force because she wanted to seek adventure beyond the boundaries of a small northern community.
"Being in the military has allowed me to travel across Canada, and the United States and to be employed overseas on a European Union Forces (EUFOR) tour, as part of Operation Althea. I have seen a lot of places and have met a lot of interesting people. This is the best career in the world.  Why am I still in?  Because I love it."
"Out of a handful of Reservists being employed at RIMPAC, I am enthusiastic to use the skills I have developed as Logistics Officer on an international exercise. It is pretty exhilarating to take people representing different elements of the Canadian Armed Forces, and bring them together as a cohesive team in order to provide an up-to-date Human Resources operational picture to the Commander."
Twenty-six nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 30 to Aug. 4, in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2016 is the 25th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (Royal Canadian Army Photo By MCpl Mathieu Gaudreault/RELEASED)

The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
