Families and Friends of TF Six Shooters, I’d like to start be saying just how proud I am of everyone in this

Squadron. We have been one busy unit lately and it continues to impress me just how professional our Soldiers are in everything they do. You are all amazing and it’s fun to be a part of it. It’s been a little while since our last installment, so let me bring everyone up to speed. In July and August, we served as the centerpiece for Mountain Peak, a Division level training event here on Fort Drum and as expected, the Sixshooter Squadron performed amazingly well. Shortly thereafter we deployed to NTC at Fort Irwin, CA and conducted our most involved training prior to the deployment in support of 1st Brigade. Again the Squadron did an amazing job. After both events, several generals and Brigade Commanders complimented me on how great our pilots, NCOs and Soldiers performed. Immediately after NTC, we had about half of the Squadron’s pilots deploy to Fort Carson, CO for high altitude training. In October, we held our Spouse and Kids Spur Rides where so many of you were able to come out and spend a day in the life of your Sol-dier and earn your spurs; our oldest cavalry tradition. We also held our Squadron Family Gunnery day where you got to see our aircrews shoot ae-rial gunnery, and I think all would agree it was pretty awesome! Also in October was the Soldier Spur Ride and as the Face Book pictures showed, everyone definitely earned their spurs! Well done everyone! This brings us to November during which some of our aircrews from A Company, Voodoos, and Re-Fuelers from E Troop Mustangs de-ployed to Fort Dix, NJ to help out with Hurricane Sandy relief. Our guys did a super job helping the people so affected by that disaster and I could not be more proud. There is no nobler mission that being able to help our fel-low countrymen. Additionally we held our annual Red and White football Org Day last week and the NCO teams were victorious in both games (Junior Enlisted vs. Junior NCOs and Senior NCOs vs. Officers). Well fought and well played across the board and hopefully our Soldiers and Families had a great time. The Officers will exact revenge next time!

In short, for the past 4 months I think the best word to describe our Squadron is BUSY! So for the first time in a long time we have been able to take a little bit of a break with three long weekends in a row to in-clude Thanksgiving. Coupled with the 3 week long Winter Block Leave from 15 DEC – 8 JAN (3 full weeks!) this is the best break we could hope for dur-ing a busy prep period for deployment. It’s not lost on me how busy we all are, and I am proud of how resilient our Soldiers and Families are in this hectic time. There is no doubt that our pace will quicken again after the holidays as we prepare for our deployment in late April and early May, so I would encourage our Soldiers to take this time to enjoy time with Family

From the Commander Contd. and friends.

I’d also like to congratulate CPT Ben March, D Troop Commander, and CW3 Keenan Bachmeyer (Task Force Phoenix, 3-10 AVN), who were presented the French Cross for Valor at the French Ambassador’s residence in Washington DC a few weeks ago for heroic actions while injured in Afghanistan in support of French Special Forces during the last deployment. This award is on par with either the Congressional Medal of Honor or Distinguished Service Cross and is a huge honor. Ben is likely mortified I am highlighting his achievement so publically, but real heroes are always humble, and Ben is no exception. Great job by both these fine officers! Who knew we had a French War Hero in our ranks?

There are a few events coming up I’d like to highlight. On 28 NOV at 6pm and on 29 NOV at 10am at the post theater, we are having a Squadron Town Hall Meeting. If you want to know what the deployment timeline is shaping up to be, have any issues or con-cerns, or just want a chance to hear from me as the Commander on what the Squadron is up to, this is a great opportunity. Also, on 25 JAN at the Commons is our CAV Winter Ball. Buy your dresses now ladies, and for our female Soldiers, dresses authorized for you too. Planning is well under way and we can expect a great classy event! I want to give a special shout out to our newborn CAV Babies (of which there have been many!) and I’m excited that we have been able to give each of them their “If You Ain‘t CAV, You Ain’t Spit” bibs and baby orders. I am also excited about our Yellow Garter program for spouses. If you have not received yours, please contact your Troop or Company Commander and we will fix that immediately. Wear them to any unit event so everyone knows you are CAV. I’d also like to thank everyone for their interest in the “TF Shooter” Facebook page. 6-6 CAV was the first Battalion size FB page to achieve 1000 likes and we are still growing! Pass the word and follow all the great stuff going on in our Squadron Task Force. I’d also like to welcome CSM Sean Ward to our team. He arrived just prior to NTC and joined us there. He has been an amazing addition, and his wise counsel has been a huge influence on our Squadron already. If you have met CSM Ward, you already know that he is a great NCO, super positive leader, and great champion for our enlisted Soldiers and NCOs. Glad to have him on board. Lastly, Lisa and I would like to wish each of you a very happy holiday season and

hope that you are able to do something fun over our winter block leave period. I’ll say

again that I am so very proud of all our Troopers. It’s a pleasure and an honor to work

with such amazing Soldiers and Families every day. A heartfelt Thank You for what you all

do every day.

-CPT Joshua

Lazzarini

A Troop/ 6-6 Hello Assassin Families, First I would like to say hi to everyone. My name is CPT Joshua Lazzarini I have taken over as the Troop commander from CPT Tom Jones. I would like to Thank CPT Jones for handing over such a fine troop. I’m very excited about this opportunity and look forward to continuing to get to know everyone and your fami-lies. I would like to also recognize our outgoing FRG leader Amanda Murphy. Thank you so much Amanda for everything you have given to our troop. It is so nice to know this Troops families have had such a wonderful FRG leader. My wife M’Lyn Lazzarini and the First Sergeants wife Kim Toler will be co leading our FRG in Amanda’s place. I would like to thank all of the Assassin volunteers for everything they have given to our Troop. Our Soldiers and family members are what make our organization so great. I look forward to seeing you all at our next family function.

Our Troop has been very busy over the last few months. We completed Mountain Peak our Division level exercise where our aircrews and maintainers worked night and day to provide much needed air support for our ground brothers. It was a diffi-cult two weeks but we never dropped a mission. About two weeks after Mountain Peak our boys were off to the National Training Center in Fort Irwin California. While we were there our Troopers provided world class air support and mainte-nance. This was my first opportunity to really see the troop in action, I’m very im-pressed. Our maintenance soldiers pulled off daily miracles with our aircraft we couldn’t have done it without them. The sand and sun took its toll on all of us but we made it home safe. After getting back for the National Training Center we started sending our pilots to HAMETs where we learn how to fly in the mountains of Colorado to prepare for our upcoming deployment. For those pilots that have already gone we had the opportu-nity to fly over some incredible country. Some even had the opportunity to see the famous Rocky Mountain Elk. We just completed our TF Six Shooter Spouse and Soldiers silver spur rides. I hope the spouses who were able to attend had fun and learned a little . Our trooper had the opportunity to earn their silver spurs a week later through a gauntlet of different challenges over a 29 hour period. Lots of Ruck marching and opportunities to in-

crease our Soldiering skills made it a unique challenge. For those in the troop that had already earned their Silver spurs had the fun time of putting our spur candidates through their paces. After these last few months I think I can speak for everyone when I say we are looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. I hope everyone is as proud of what they have accomplished as I am. Our Troop and their families continue to impress me with their ability to overcome the challenges thrown their way. Thanks families for your support its what keeps us going. CPT Joshua Lazzarini

A Company/2-10 careers.

Things around Alpha Company have been really busy lately but I can tell you that a long overdue break is very close. The company will be battening down the hatches for the Winter Block Leave period from 15 December to 6 January. This will be opportunity leave that all Soldiers can partake in. Your continued support to the Sol-diers and families within this unit does not go unnoticed or without ap-preciation. The last few months have been chalked full of training events for all of our Soldiers everything from NTC, to Fort Bliss Aircraft movement, to HAMET training in Colorado, to SPUR Rides within the Squadron. Without your continued support and assistance we would not be able to continue to accomplish these mis-sions.

On a personal note I would like to say thank you to everyone for their sup-port over the past 18 months of my Command. Next week I will change command with CPT Mark Axtell who is coming to Alpha Company from the 2-10 S3 Shop. The memories that I have made here with the families of Alpha Company will last a lifetime.

CPT Erin Braswell “Voodoo 6”

As the weather starts to look “Frightful” the Soldiers of Alpha Company continue to do what they do best, FLY! There has been a heck of a lot of training taking place within the Squad-ron and the Company over the last few months, and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt this unit has only continued to hone their skills individually as well as collectively because of it.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to the newest members of the Voodoo Family. CPL Mills and his wife Denise just wel-comed Hannah Grace Mills to their family on 6 November 2012. CW2 Carvalho and his wife Karen just welcomed their son Nathan Carvalho to their family on 14 October 2012. I would like to pass on our warm wishes to both of these families, we could-n’t be happier for you both.

On 1 November 2012 Alpha Com-pany was fortunate to be as-signed two more 15T (crewchief), PFC Ramos and PFC Magana. They both are coming to use from our Delta Troop (maintenance company) and are welcomed members to the team. We look forward to showing them the ropes and teaching them the fundamentals that they will need to continue to be suc-cessful throughout their Army

B Company/1-10 Killer Spade Family and Friends, We all want to congratulate the Killer Spades for the outstanding achievement, hard work and sacrifice in the past few months. It has been a long, arduous quar-ter. We all, soldiers and families together endured a month of long training at the National Training Center. I want to espe-cially thank the families during that train-ing. It was hard to be unable to call home during the training period but we were all better able to do our jobs because of the support that you gave us. PV2 Travis Bridges joined us from Delta Troop this week and we’re glad to have him in a line Company. We also welcomed three new officers to the family last month. CPT Brian Alexander is one of our new platoon leaders. He is a branch trans-fer from the Engineers. Brian is joined by his girlfriend Kasey and daughter Lydia. We have a new Instructor Pilot joining us from Korea, CW2 Mike Symmes and his wife Kristen. He has a four year old son, Kevin and a three year old daughter, Brianne. Lastly, we have a new Mainte-nance Test Pilot, CW3 Mike Mauro, a leg-acy Killer Spade from Fort Stewart, GA. We had the pleasure of promoting Amanda Combs to Chief Warrant Officer Two last month and Joseph McCarthy to Specialist. SGT Carlos San Nicolas, SPC Alyssa Draper and SPC James Cowart all earned their promotable status at their promotion boards. We were extremely fortunate in the past few months. We had three new baby boys brought into our family. SGT Eric Smith has a new son, Logan. CW3 Matt Rood has a new son, Jackson and CW2 James Donato has a new son, Julian. The Killer Spades are, sadly, losing mem-

bers of the family this month. CW3 Matt Rood has been a Mainte-nance Test Pilots in Bravo Company for over three years and has been our sole MTP for almost the last year. He is going to take is vast knowledge down to Fort Eustis now to train our next gen-eration of Crew Chiefs and enjoy a little well deserved down time with his wife Becky and two young sons. 1LT Steve Giattino, Platoon Leader in the Killer Spades, will be moving to Delta Troop as a Maintenance Platoon Leader now that he has recently graduated from the Pathfinder course. As always, I continue to appreciate the effort and participation of our FRG. We had a great turn out for our October Chili Cook Off and Halloween party. CW2 Rocky Jensen, SPC James Cowart and CW2 Eric Bridge made amazing chili but the late entry chili made by Colleen Wright won the ribbon. The Pumpkin Carving was also fantastic, with some out-standing talent displayed by all of the partici-pants. SPC Bret Morgan and his wife Sarah won the prize for best carving overall. Finally, this will be my last letter to the Re-volver as the Commander of the Killer Spades. I will be chaining Command with CPT Chase Roe at the end of the month. It has been a sincere privilege for me to command Bravo Company and perhaps the greatest experi-ence of my life.

Outcast Families,

Summer has come and gone as we head into November and the winter season. The entire Troop did an outstanding job during training at the National Training Center in Sep-tember and now we look forward to some well deserved time off. Con-gratulations to the many spouses and kids that earned their spurs dur-ing the CAV family weekend. The Squadron Family Gunnery Day was a great opportunity for families to see what the soldiers do daily and while deployed. The Troop has seen many changes over the past few months.

We have had many new additions to the Troop. CW3 Ryan Ervin and his wife Mariah join us from Alaska where he will serve as a Troop in-structor pilot. CW2 Brandi Wyatt comes to us from Fort Bragg while CW2 Chris Gayne and WO1 Jackson Thatcher join us right out of flight school. SPC Douglas Potter has come to the Troop from Delta and will be a great addition as a crew chief. The Troop has also welcomed four little Outcasts over the past few months to include Jacob Mikkel-borg, Alanna Vance, Molly Dube, and Orion Norwich.

The Troop has seen a few long term Outcasts depart. CW3 Brad Vance has moved, but just down the hall to Alpha Troop. Sherry and Brad have

been an integral part of the Outcast team for over five years and will definitely be missed. CW3 Justin Braswell will also be leaving the Troop in mid-November for Fort Rucker.

The Halloween Bowling Party was a great success. It was fun to see all of the kids come dressed in costume and enjoy a night of pizza and bowling. The Red and White Bowl is coming up and will be a great opportunity for the Troop to do some fundraising. The Annual Troop Holiday Party is also fast approaching so save the date for Thursday, November 29th. Come enjoy time with friends while getting into the holiday spirit.

Upcoming FRG and Squadron events: November 15- Red and White Bowl November 29- Troop Holiday Party at Hillside Lodge December 15- January 6th- Winter Block Leave

Again, thank you for your continued support! Please feel free to contact Erin or myself at any time.

D Troop/6-6 Desperado Friends & Families,

The Holidays are almost upon us and all the Des-

perados are looking forward to some

welcomed time off after several months of hard,

tireless work. Over the past several months the

Squadron has executed several significant training

events to include Mountain Peak and a deployment

to the National

Training Center in Fort Irwin, CA. The consistent

and outstanding maintenance support provided by

the Desperados directly contributed

to the Squadron's success across the board. While at

NTC the Desperados expertly manned two FARPs

and executed 24 hour operations. Further, many

Desperados Spouses, Children and Troopers were

able to earn their Spurs in the recent Spur Ride held

in October. The Squadron Family Gunnery day was

also a success for the Desperados. Over the next

few

months the Desperados will continue to excel in

their mission execution, but the main focus will be

for us to enjoy the holidays with family and friends!

Mustang Family & Friends- We have come through a whirlwind couple of months, and have a busy holiday Season ahead of us, I hope you are paying attention to the long weekends and leave opportunities we have coming up (Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Week, Christmas Block Leave…). I ap-preciate everything that our Soldiers have accomplished over the last couple of months, between Operation Mountain Peak and our rotation to the National Training Center, Spur Rides, Family Gunnery Day, and EVERYTHING in between. I know that for every training event and mission that we have, there are family, friends, and loved ones that are support-ing that Soldier and sharing in the work and sacrifice that Soldier is doing. I do not take that for granted and I greatly appreciate the strength that all of those supporters provide to this unit and our Army as a whole. We have continued to squeeze in FRG events here and there where we can find the time, and we appreciate the support that Emily and I have re-ceived. There are plenty of activities and outings to take advantage of at Fort Drum, I encourage you to look at the various products with info on upcoming events. Emily and I are originally from Minnesota and have dealt with plenty of winter weather, and I want to pass on to any newcom-ers is the importance of checking the fluids and serviceability of your car, including tires and battery since the winter temperatures will make a sick car break. Also, take driving on roads after snow or during snow very seriously and care carefully. You will be VERY sur-prised at how easily a 2000 pound object can be suddenly out of control and heading in the wrong direction. Staying warm and maintaining your house is important, but vehicles are what hurt people in the winter. If you are looking for more information or have questions about anything is going on, please don’t hesitate to contact myself, or my wife Emily.

HHT/ 6-6 Stetsons, I hope this finds all of you well as we are entering the Holiday Season. HHT has had a busy Quarter with a trip to Califor-nia to the National Training Center (NTC) for rotation 12-10. The Troop was able to bring home some valuable lessons learned and training objectives in order to prepare us for deployment. After NTC, the Squadron held the Spouse's Spur Ride, Kid's Spur Ride, and a Family Gunner. The Squadron also just com-pleted a Silver Spur Ride, in which TF Six Shooter Soldiers completed twenty-four straight hours of events leading up to a Spur Dinner. Many HHT Soldiers were able to complete this event and earn their Silver Spurs and I would like to congratulate each and every one of them. HHT Troopers would like to wel-come the newcomers to the Troop, in-cluding PV1 Patrick, PFC Snyder, SFC Ned, and SFC Cerna. The stork visited the HHT family several times as well and we would like to welcome the new Baby Troopers from the Hughes, Tritapoe, Christian, Clark, Eason, Srnec, and Mays Families. Several additional Troopers were promoted and I would like to con-gratulate PFC Anderson, Shannon, SPC Burns, SGT Tritapoe, and SSG Simmons. I would like to also take the time to wel-come back 1SG Lee, who has returned

from his leave. As you can see, it was a busy Quarter but as we approach the Holiday Sea-son, we will have well deserved time to spend with our Families. 1LT Christopher Mays Shooter 2

When you gather with your family this Thanksgiving and Christmas, it is likely that you will experience the joy and the pain from those who loved you and those who wounded you and still do, those who hurt you and those who healed you and still do, those who gave you hope and snuffed out your dreams and still do, those who picked you up and those who let you down and still do, those who kept promises and those who broke promises and still do, those who make you laugh and those who make you cry, those who comfort you and those who disturb you ... when you see those human faces ... joyous, angry, sad, bitter, broken, happy, hopeful, lost ... the young, the strong, the old, the weak ... remember that you will be all of these things one day ... and keeps these words of Mother Theresa in your heart: "There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them, love them.” Before you gather with friends and family, remember Mother Teresa's words: "Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart . . .” and give what you give with your heart. From Mother Teresa: People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self- centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of having selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do it anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It never was between you and them . . . anyway. To be grateful is to recognize the love of God in everything He has given us--and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. From your chaplain: CH (CPT) David Arthur

FRG Advisor I hope you enjoyed Fall…because in the blink of an eye, those gorgeous leaves have

fallen and we’re gearing up for SNOW!!! Personally, I can’t wait and I hope that you all get out and enjoy what the North Country has to offer by snowshoeing, skiing and more! Our unit has been so busy and since our last newsletter the soldiers have been a part of Moun-tain Peak, NTC and HAMETS. So it is nice that our soldiers are going to be home for awhile and we can enjoy each other. One of the first things I want to announce is that Wendy Rittichier has agreed to be a co-advisor with me for the FRG! I am so grateful to her for her help, but more importantly grateful that she brings her wealth of knowledge and experience to our unit, she is going to be a wonder-ful help and resource for our 6-6 Families! Thank-you Wendy! Now I have to be selfish for a moment and let you know, that I have been having a wonderful time because I get to meet all the babies born in our unit give them our cool, 6-6 Bib (If you ain’t CAV, you ain’t spit!) What adorable little CAV KIDS we have in our unit!!! Also, I got to meet some amazing spouses at our Spouse Spur Ride! (extra props to our pregnant spouses who took part!) What a great time seeing our spouses in their yellow-garters tackle some fun relays, get-ting their gas masks on in 8 seconds and assembling fire arms! It just proves that the CAV Spouses really are second to NONE! But before I go on and on about how great the spouses are, what an amazing Kids’ Spur ride! We had about 100 kids from infant to teen getting a first-hand look at being a soldier! The smiles on the children’s’ faces were catchy as our CAV KIDS got to climb into a “live” cockpit of a helicopter, honk the horns on some trucks (ouch, my ears!) and do an NVG scavenger hunt! To quote numerous kids, IT WAS AWESOME! And what was really awesome was seeing our pilots put on a gunnery display during Family Gun-nery day! Thank-you to all the families that came out to eat a delicious BBQ and see a once-in-a-lifetime event! Now if you haven’t had the chance to go to some of these events, don’t worry, there is plenty more to do! Our first Town Hall in on November 28 (6PM) and November 29th (10AM) and it is a great opportunity to learn about the upcoming deployment and ask any questions you may have, I will be at both, so please introduce yourself! We will also be hosting free soldier-lunches, the first one is on December 11, and on January 25 we will get a chance to dress up for a romantic and classy evening at our Winter Ball. In addition to our unit, there is always fun stuff going on at Fort Drum. Every Tuesday @ 5PM at the Commons, is Family Night. It is a great thing to do with your children when the weather gets chilly and it’s also an inexpensive meal! BOSS has monthly movie nights and gam-ing tournaments and at the USO everyday at 11:00 AM is free snacks for our soldiers, and on Thursdays, for our families too! As the weather gets a little colder (and it has further to go!), it is also time to start think-ing about being alert on the roads and winter safety. (We will be hosting a Squadron winter-safety brown-bag lunch in the coming weeks, be on the look-out for a flyer).

Respectfully (and stay warm!), Lisa & Wendy
