RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --  More than 600 members of the Air Force Personnel Center here turned out wearing their directorate colors for AFPC's sports day June 4.

The competition started earlier in the week with good-natured heckling, threats and challenges sent by the various directors. However, the challengers got down to real business with the 5K run, the first event.

Maj. Gen. K.C. McClain, AFPC commander, chaired the opening ceremony, 8 a.m. at the Rambler softball field, citing increased esprit de corps and camaraderie as the purpose of the day.

"We work hard every day. We also need to play hard together to help remind us we're all on the same team, fighting the same fight," she said.

Events took place at Eberle Park, Rambler Fitness Center and the Rambler softball field. They included a golf tournament, 5K run/walk, cycling, mummy wrap, balloon stomp, basketball, volleyball, softball, horseshoes, Tug-o-War, dizzy bat relay, bowling, dodge ball, racquetball, push-ups and sit-ups, and the bench press.

Last year's champion, directorate of assignments, did not have to dust off the Commander's Trophy and hand it over; DPA won the championship for the second year in a row earning the privilege to display the trophy and continued bragging rights throughout the year.
