CWO Mantel – 3rd Place In World Masters Judo!

By admin | Aug 26, 2009

Chief Warrant Officer Peter C. Mantel throws Michelle Simmons to the ground during afternoon training with Coast Guard Judo, a United States Judo Association registered Judo club at Training Center Yorktown, Va. Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2008. A flawless execution of this technique in competition would result in ippon, or instant win. (U.S. Coast Guard Photo/Petty Officer 3rd Class Mark Jones) On 22 August, 2009 BOSN Pete Mantel earned 3rd place at the World Master's Judo Match in Atlanta, Georgia.  Mr. Mantel has been leading the Coast Guard Judo Club for five years here at Training Center Yorktown.  Membership in the club has not required a fee or even a military I.D. card.  Dedication and commitment, and a positive attitude have been the dues.  In addition to representing us at the Master's, the club members have earned medals at the local, regional, state, and National level.  One, possibly more, members show significant promise for the Olympics.  That is - Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty in action.  Congratulations Bosn Mantel.  Thank you for efforts, you make us all proud to call you brother.  What do you say; maybe just one more match?
