The REAPER
Volume V, Issue I Fort Drum, NY 06 April 2012
FROM THE COMMANDER’S SADDLE
CPT LEVI THOMPSON
Family and Friends of Reaper Troop, your
Soldiers have returned from a successful
month of training in the field, once again
setting the standard within the Brigade. March
was a month of long nights, little sleep, and
weekends prepping for the next week of
training. I will tell you that this month, (April)
will not be as intense as we recharge our
batteries, spend time at home with our loved
ones, and prepare for Troop Live Fires in
May.
Please check the “HHT CDR “Reaper 6””
Facebook page for more photos :

CDR-Reaper-6/207479719300754 . We have
posted multiple photos albums of your
Soldiers training, earning awards, being
promoted, as well as other events. You can
get to this webpage by finding the links, under
the “like” tab on the Squadron Facebook page
or following the link above.
Myself and the 1SG would like to personally
welcome a couple new Scouts to our ranks:
Sophie Jenkins – 23 March 2012
Kaylee Renee Mako – 30 March 2012
Bryan Alexander Urena – 05 April 2012
Hope Marie Hill – 09 April 2012
I would also like to congratulate SGT
Nottingham and his recent marriage on 24
March 2012 to the former Mrs. Tansha
Drought.
I am sorry to say that next month 1SG
Elsaesser will be leaving the Team, but not
the Reaper Family. He will take his family and
head south to Kentucky, tackling a new job of
managing all of the 19D Master Sergeants
within the U.S. Army. I wish him and his
family; Rhonda and Melissa the best in there
future endeavors. 1SG Elsaesser’s dedication
to and love of the Soldiers will be missed.
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 18th at 1000am in the
Squadron Conference Room, those
interested in being co-leaders, I invite
you to come and partake. This was
initially scheduled for April 11th, but
was changed to the 18th.
On May 8th at 1130 my wife, Erin
Thompson will be doing a lunch at TGI
Friday’s. 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!”
