Since the latter part of September the Avengers have had a lot going on. On 14 September we had a company rock climbing day at Craig Gym. Several soldiers were previously certified to fulfill duties as belay masters for the day. Everyone had fun watching 1SG fall off the wall sev- eral times. This event was part of our resiliency training and serves as part of our alcohol and substance abuse alter- natives program. Don’t drink, climb a rock instead. On 19 September the spouses met to do a gun safety class and shoot some rounds, the count was over 1500 in about two hours. We had a lot of fun shooting everything from hand guns to lever action pistols to semi auto- matic rifles. Pictures from the event are posted on the photobucket website. On the 28th of September we held a suicide awareness stand down during which we had several classes focusing on how to assist those in need of help. We also participated in a brigade run during which our company was awarded the ‘devil stakes’ streamer for search a detainee. This was one of several competitions that companies send teams to compete in every month. The individuals that won us this great honor are SGT Jaeger, SPC Pavlich, SPC Reynolds, SGT Bigorra, and SGT King. Thank you for putting your best effort into the event and teaching everyone else to ‘NEVER QUIT’. This month on 11 and 12 October we were given the opportunity to assist Junc- tion City Middle School, our battalion sponsored community school, with land navigation classes.

Since the latter part of September the
Avengers have had a lot going
on. On 14 September we had
a company rock climbing day
at Craig Gym. Several soldiers
were previously certified to
fulfill duties as belay masters
for the day. Everyone had fun
watching 1SG fall
off the wall sev-
eral times. This
event was part of our resiliency
training and serves as part of our
alcohol and substance abuse alter-
natives program. Don’t drink,
climb a rock instead.
On 19 September the spouses met to
do a gun safety class and shoot some rounds,
the count was over 1500 in about two hours.
We had a lot of fun shooting
every th i ng
from hand
guns to lever
action pistols
to semi auto-
matic rifles.
Pictures from
the event are
posted on
the photobucket website.
On the 28th of September we held a
suicide awareness stand down during which
we had several classes focusing on how to assist
those in need of help.
We also participated in
a brigade run during
which our company
was awarded the ‘devil
stakes’ streamer for
search a detainee. This
was one of several
competitions that companies send teams to
compete in every month. The individuals
that won us this great honor are SGT Jaeger,
SPC Pavlich, SPC Reynolds, SGT Bigorra, and
SGT King. Thank you for putting your best
effort into the event and teaching everyone
else to ‘NEVER QUIT’.
This month on 11 and 12 October we
were given the opportunity to assist Junc-
tion City Middle School, our battalion
sponsored community school, with land
navigation classes. This was a lot of fun for
the children to learn a new skill and gave
soldiers an
opportunity
to get in-
volved with
the commu-
nity. SGT
Jaeger did a
fabulous job
coordinating
the event. There were over 16 soldiers in-
volved with assisting hundreds of students
refine their skills.
This month has been an overwhelming
feat of property accountability in both wres-
tling with PBUSE and the increased invento-
ries. As we pre-
pare for the
change of com-
mand we will
continue to con-
duct and refine
the inventory
p r o c e s s a l l
through Novem-
ber. Great job so far, keep up the excellent
work.
Never Quit!

October? Holy crap! It’s official! We’ve been back from Iraq for a year! And to celebrate our re-deployment anniversary MSG pla-toon spared no expense planning and executing a most-excellent pla-toon resiliency day, consisting of
both a gourmet breakfast at IHOP, and a bowling extravaganza that lasted three-whole hours! Whew!
Time sure flies when you are hav-ing fun. In addition to Army-sponsored fun, MSG has kept themselves busy during September by con-ducting the following: cyclic in-ventories and inspections; STG
training; preparations for the up-coming Red Test; Drivers training for PFC Washington; Field Sanita-
tion class for Sgt. Jacq-Pow; a Crossing Guard detail for Sgt. Scaife; Sgt Boyce hung out at Division for a week providing an NCO for Access Control; and last but definitely not
least, IEW squad was in class for weeks doing all sorts of intensely technical stuff, with super-awesome Top Secret systems that no one can know about.
MSG Platoon
As sure as the changing of the leaves, and the steady onset of freez-ing temperatures, so it is that MSG platoon has lost another excellent Non-Commissioned Officer. On the 24th of September, MSG platoon said
goodbye to Staff Sergeant Jessica Jackson, as she left in pursuit of eve-rything the civilian world has to offer. An effective leader, generous with her time and knowledge—she will be sorely missed, but we take solace in knowing that she is in a better place. Live in Peace SSG Jackson.
