Mustang Family & Friends-
On behalf of the First Sergeant and I, we hope everyone is enjoying their time
here as winter continues to tease us and as we continue to reintegrate with a more normal-
ized schedule. With four months between us and redeployment, it is time to work on training
to maintain our readiness and prepare for the next deployment, in the motor pool, on the
FARP, and at home. In the past month we have begun licensing and re-training on vehicles
(snow is sort of like sand, but not enough) and have conducted individual skills training. It has
been good to hear of all the Soldiers and families that are taking advantage of the outdoor
activities. Take advantage of the North country and try something different, I recommend that
you try skiing at Dry Hill or Snow Ridge, ice skating at the Watertown Ice Arena (on the fair-
grounds) and of course, sledding. We had a great first FRG meeting of the year and will be
looking to build upon that with some upcoming FRG events that will give us the opportunity to
share our individual skills and experience for the collective good of the unit. A special thanks
goes out to our new volunteers, Brittany Belcher and Brittany Wright as the Treasurer and
alternate treasurer, and Joann Nieves-Ramos as one of our event planners and key callers. We
have more volunteer opportunities available (I will never say no to a volunteer) The volunteers
spread the responsibilities around and are absolutely critical to the FRG’s long term success. I
look forward to continuing our mission over the months ahead as we develop and maintain
our ability to defend freedom and the American way of life (WOOHOOO!!).
In December and January we have welcomed 12 new Soldiers to Echo
Troop! Veterans, please come by the next FRG meeting to introduce
yourselves to the new families so we can get them started on the
right foot here at Drum.
Echo Troop’s success depends on our constant development, and the
below individuals have distinguished themselves as prepared to take
on more responsibility and do more good for the unit. Congratula-
tions and thanks to the following Soldiers who earned a promotion
during December and January:
Matthew Payne -> Sergeant First Class
Henry Smith -> Sergeant
Malcolm Robinson -> Specialist
Justin Sherman -> Specialist
Oniel Morrison -> Specialist
Kennith Hill -> Private First Class

Chaplain’s Corner
TF Six Shooters and Families,
As the Six Shooters Chaplain, I remain steadfast in bringing God to Soldiers and
Soldiers to God, this is the calling on my life. Clearly, there is something radically wrong
with man. The Bible discloses the seat of man's problem as being his heart, his inner be-
ing, including his reason. We are full of falsehood, duplicity, and contradiction. We con-
ceal and disguise ourselves from ourselves. Perhaps it is in this area that the heart per-
forms its most destructive work; it conceals the exceeding sinfulness of sin and its tragic con-
sequences and seriousness. It deceives us into thinking that it is not so bad or that God is so
merciful that He will overlook it. Do you suppose He can overlook an attitude that so casually
takes for granted sinful acts that caused the horribly painful and ignominious death of One
who was truly innocent, His Son? Does He merely ignore an attitude that cares so little for its
own life that it deliberately attempts to bring that wonderful gift of life to an end? Does He
just avert His eyes when we do something that forms a part of our character that will prevent
us from being in His image? Some people seem to think so, but is there innocence in this kind
of reasoning? Our own heart deceives us into taking sin lightly. But, believe the Bible, God is
NOT taking sin lightly because He loves His creation. Sin has caused all the emotional and
physical pain and death that mankind has experienced since Adam. Each of us is suffering to
some degree from it right at this moment. Does this bring us happiness? Do we love sin so
much that we want it to continue? Are we fully aware it may destroy us? Do we want our sin-
ful way of life to end? There is only one way it will end, and that is to follow Jesus advice:
"Unless you repent you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3). When we repent and begin con-
trolling ourselves so that we do not sin, it will not stop sin in the world. But unless WE stop
sinning, sin will never be stopped. EACH PERSON has to come to see that he is personally re-
sponsible for stopping sin in his own life. He cannot wait for others to stop before he stops.
The government will not do it for him. Nobody but the individual can stop his sinning unless
God takes away the person's chance to repent by putting him to death. We cannot allow our-
selves to be deceived into taking this casually as the world does. They say, "Everybody's doing
it." Millions cheat on their spouses. Who knows how many have literally "gotten away with
murder"! Many cheat the government of their income taxes and never get caught. But we
cannot cheat God. How could we escape the gaze of a Being so acutely aware of what is hap-
pening that He sees even a sparrow falling? David writes, "Where can I go from Your
Spirit?" (Psalm 139:7). God not only sees the acts, but discerns what is "going on" in the heart
(verses 1-4, 23-24).

Bullets from TF Six Shooters’ FRG
Happy 2012 TF Six Shooters Families! Hope everyone is enjoying having their
soldier home; even if it means extra laundry, listening to a snooze button go off multiple
times at 5am and a fridge we can’t seem to keep full. Now that our soldiers are back to
work, so is your FRG. As we gather together to reconnect our families since redeploy-
ing, we welcome our new families. Theresa and I hope you take the opportunities that
your FRG’s are offering, whether it is the monthly meeting, or a social event, and come
out to meet one another. We can’t stress enough how important the relationships you
build within your FRG are to this organizations continued success. Your leaders are al-
ways looking for volunteers, so please consider helping out. Speaking of Leaders, we
wish to farewell and thank Katherine Stauffer and Tina Wellenreuther, for all they have
contributed as leaders to the families of A Troop and the entire Squadron. Their positive
attitude and shining personalities will be greatly missed and their friendship will always
be treasured. They leave us with great replacements, Meghan Terry and Amanda Mur-
phy, who we are excited to have on our team.
For the month of March, the Squadron, along with A Company 2/10, is hosting
an Evening of Formal Fashion Wear Event on Friday, March 2nd, 6-9pm in the Squadron
Classroom. This is a fun night for spouses to come out and try on dresses at the
“Shooters Boutique”, and find the perfect look to wear to our Spring Ball on April 14th,
2012. Featured dresses, shoes, jewelry and purses are available at no cost, on a first
come, first fit basis. The Fort Drum Thrift Shop will also add to our event with items that
can be purchased. If you wish to donate a formal dress or accessories to this event,
please drop off prior to the FRSA’s office between 9-12pm.
Lastly, we want to remind our families about our Military Family Life Counselors
who are available24/7 to talk over any issues you may be having adjusting to redeploy-
ment, a new post, and overall stress that life deals all of us. If you have any concerns
about your soldier or a member of your family, please consider making an appointment
to speak to an MFLC by calling, 315-405-7449.
All the Best Always,
