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
INSIDE THIS Mountain Peak, a Division level training event here on Fort Drum and as
ISSUE: expected, the Sixshooter Squadron performed amazingly well. Shortly
thereafter we deployed to NTC at Fort Irwin, CA and conducted our most Assassins
A Troop/6-6 2 involved training prior to the deployment in support of 1 st Brigade. Again
the Squadron did an amazing job. After both events, several generals and

October was the Soldier Spur Ride and as the Face Book pictures showed,

This brings us to November during which some of our aircrews

a super job helping the people so affected by that disaster and I could not
FRG Advisor 12 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
FRG Corner Org Day last week and the NCO teams were victorious in both games (Junior Desperados

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
Mustangs
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

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.

our Troop. Our Soldiers and family members are what make
Lazzarini 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.

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.

When you gather with your family this Thanksgiving and Christmas, it is likely that you

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).
