FROM THE COMMANDER’S SADDLE

CPT LEVI THOMPSON

Family and Friends of Reaper Troop, Still a

couple more months left of winter, and this

month your Soldiers will be enjoying some

quality Fort Drum Weather. As you should all

know by now, March will be spent in the field

as the Troop moves forward on its training

path, while supporting the rest of the

Squadron as it becomes a lethal force to be

reckoned with. I ask that you keep an eye on

the Squadron Facebook page for training

updates, as training over the weekend may

become a necessity to meet end state

objectives. You should know the Thursday

prior to that weekend if we will continue to

train.

I would like to thank all of you who came out a

participated in the Kiddy Spur Ride, which

was a huge success. If you have not seen

pictures, please check both the Squadron and

Brigade Facebook page. I hope that all of you

that participated enjoyed yourselves as your

young ones were officially made part of the

“Cavalry” family by earning there “Silver

Spurs.”

Please check the “HHT CDR “Reaper 6””

Facebook page for more photos :

http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/HHT-

CDR-Reaper-6/207479719300754 . We have

posted multiple photos albums of your

Soldiers training, earning awards, being

promoted, as well as other events. Next

month should include another album of your

Soldiers enjoying the Fort Drum weather in

March. You can get to this webpage by

finding the links, under the “like” tab on the

Squadron Facebook page or following the link

above.

A friendly reminder, HHT is still looking

for a couple of Co-leaders to come

forward or an FRG Leader as well or

some Key Callers. Our FRG is only as

strong as you make it. The Treasury is

also an open position needed to be

filled. As well as some Key Callers.

The next Steering Committee Meeting

will be on April 11th at 1000am in the

Squadron Conference Room, those

interested in being co-leaders, I invite

you to come and partake.

On March 15th at 1130 my wife, Erin

Thompson will be doing a lunch at Olive

Garden. This is a friendly get together

to enjoy some time together and get

know some of the other spouses within

the Troop.

Once again, I say “Thank You” for all of

your support that you provide your

Soldiers.

“Execute… No Excuses!”
