ary, Task Force Sixshooter is no more. From here forward we are back to
being just 6-6 CAV Squadron as a pure OH-58D unit.

I know many of the OH-58D folks have heard rumor that we will
not deploy. All I can say at this point is that many options are being ex-
plored by senior Army leadership and as of now, no final decisions have
been made. We are ready to deploy, and will maintain that posture until
officially told otherwise, while acknowledging that not deploying is an op-
tion being considered. As I find out more, I will be certain to share openly
with our Soldiers and Families.

I would also like to thank all of our Soldiers and Families for being so patient, un-
derstanding, and flexible during these changes and amid all the rumors. It is a testament
to your professionalism and I could not be more proud of you all. Our way ahead as a
Squadron will become clear in the coming weeks and we will execute our mission, no mat-
ter where it takes us, with vigor and enthusiasm just as the CAV always has. Enjoy the
North Country winter!

Hello Assassin Families,

great party. A big thanks to several people: SGT Carson for his photography skills;
-CPT Joshua Lisette Mendez, Rhianne Dean, and Sherry Vance for their decorating ability and com-
mitment to the troop; Dawn Newhouse for providing a craft activity, and Amanda Per-
Lazzarini kins for bringing gifts for the kids. Thanks Assassins for your participation.
I would like to welcome some new members to the Assassin Team. First, welcome to
our newest addition, PV2 Juarez. He will be joining our already amazing maintenance
team. We also have a few new pilots to welcome. The Poland family joins us from Fort
Lewis. Straight from flight school, we welcome the Adamy family, Pietrasz Family,
and Dionne Family. I can honestly say that everyone one of these new guys has already
contributed to making the Assassin troop better. Thanks for all you have done so far.
We look forward to working together.
Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to some key Assassins that have made Alpha
Troop the best troop in the Squadron. CW3 O’Malley will be moving on to fly light util-
ity helicopters. CW3 Newhouse and CW3 VanKirk have both completed successful
Army careers and have decided to retire from active duty. You all will be greatly
missed in the troop and in the squadron. You and your families have all given so much
to this unit. Thanks for the legacy you have left for all of us to enjoy and protect. The
standards you have established and kept have made this troop great.
The Assassin Troop Soldiers came back from block leave to be on the run again. Train-
ing thus far has consisted of small arms ranges, crew serve weapons ranges, continu-
ous flights, and advanced aerial gunnery. CW3 Vance has been in Colorado for a
month successfully running HAMET. While there, he flew 100 incident free hrs in or-
der to ensure that the squadrons pilots were trained to fly in high altitude situations.
This type of training can be challenging and dangerous. Thanks for a great job Vance,
and we look forward to having you back at Drum.
The Squadron Ball was the most recent event in which the Assassins came in force.
The speaker was great with a heartfelt message reminding us of our CAV family.
Thanks to all the Assassin Soldiers and family members that attended.

Welcome to all of the new spouses and families that have joined us in the last few

at Drum with the snow. We have had a great run of holidays and block leave and it
was good to see so many families travel home to see relatives and to resorts and
vacation spots. It is very important to take advantage of the time the Army does
give us off from our demanding profession. Thank you to everyone who partici-
pated in the Troop Christmas Party and more recently the Squadron Ball, the Army
life is a lot easier when we go through it together in support of one another and
celebrate the unique challenges we face. If you would like to receive information

When the year turns over, we reach a birthday, or mark a mo-
ment of life transition, most people take it as a cue to reflect
on what they could do better or differently. For many of us, especially at New Year's,
thoughts immediately turn to promises of new diets and more exercise—physical
fitness; But what about spiritual fitness? What if our top priorities were inner inten-
tions, like forgiveness and kindness, or understanding our Creator and why we are
here rather than outer intentions like a better body or more money? While the last

Yay!!! The North Country blanketed in all this beautiful snow! I hope you have taken the oppor-
tunity to go sledding, snow shoeing, skiing at Dry Hill or you have just snuggled inside with some
hot cocoa.
It was great seeing everyone at the Winter Ball in January. What a great time and I never knew
so many of you could dance so well! (or so long!!!!) Our guest speaker was wonderfully pro-
found and her message about family and “once CAV always CAV” was apropos as we are going
through some big changes here at 6-6!
I’m sure, by now, you’ve heard a lot of news about changes in TF Sixshooter and all the different
internal movements in 10th CAB. It is a bittersweet time for all of us as we see friends of ours
move to different units, but it is also exciting because we’re welcoming Bravo Troop and their
FRG Leader Stephanie Rickert, “back to the family.” Remember, if you have any questions or
concerns about the changes, you can always call me or your FRG leader and ask! If we don’t
know the answer to your questions, we will find someone who does!
6-6 has been busy! More and more babies are being born, and I get to meet them all!!! And we
had a wonderful Cake Auction on Valentine’s Day! Thank-you to everyone to donated their cake
making skills. Our chili cook-off is coming up soon in March and our talented chili auction win-
ners will be out there trying to win bragging rights and some awards! If you didn’t have a chance
to make it out to some of our other events, don’t miss the cook-off! I’m sure there will be lots
of great food and when it comes to chili, the competition can get exciting!
Just a reminder, if you have some cabin fever, that 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 gaming tournaments and at the
USO everyday at 11:00 AM is free snacks for our soldiers and families! Some other fun indoor
things to do with your family or friends include roller skating at Showtime Skating or Bowling at
one of the many bowling alleys on or off post!
If you want to celebrate winter and all it has to offer, you can head over to Dry Hill and take
skiing lessons! They also have tubing at Dry Hill and Maple Ridge Center in Lowville, NY. Each
Thursday at 10AM Fort Drum Parks & Rec has cross country skiing and lunch outings as weather
permits, and if you’re super adventurous you can go snowmobiling or snowshoeing! At the
Watertown Municipal Arena, public ice skating is available everyday in the afternoon and eve-
ning, and they also have Rock n’ Skate at 8:15 PM on scheduled Saturdays. There is also FREE ice
skating in Thompson Park on an outdoor rink, but you have to provide the skates. They do that
Mon-Fri 5-8PM and Sat & Sun 11AM – 6PM.
As you can see there is so much to do in the area, and I hope you get a chance to do it before the
ice and snow melts! Hope to see you all soon!
