The deployment is winding down. One thing I would like to stress is that we simply can’t put

out dates of our departure from Qatar. There are probably all kinds of rumors out thereabout

when our return is. I can tell you nothing is official yet so anything you might have heard is just

a rumor. It is imperative that the Soldiers don’t put out the dates of our return. If the dates do

get out it could significantly delay our return to the states. I understand this is very difficult and

exciting time for everyone, There are families attempting to plan vacations and employers look-

ing for their employees to return to work. All I can say is we will be home soon. CPT Spellman

Our pace here in Qatar has

quickened and everyday

brings new and challenging

opportunities. The focus has

turned to our redeployment. I

am sure that everyone back

home has heard all kinds of

rumors about when we will

be returning to the states. It is

a security violation for us to

put out the time of our return

to the states so all I can tell

you is that we will be home

soon. It is hard to believe that

some of us have already been

on this journey for over a

year. There were moments

when time flew and other

moments when time seemed

to stand still. However your

Soldiers have persevered and

we will be back home in no

time. I would like to thank

everyone for their love, sup-

port and prayers throughout

this difficult year. It is the love

and support of those at home

that has allowed for us to be

successful on our mission

here in Qatar. Without the

support of those left behind

this mission would have been

COMMANDER’S CORNER

It brings me great pleasure to

write to you this last newsletter

while here in Qatar. Many of

you that have read these

throughout the months have

probably seen a common theme

or message that has been por-

trayed each and every month.

We talk about promotions, re-

enlistments, babies, birthdays,

events that our Soldiers have

been able to partake in, and most

importantly and probably most

often how proud I am to have

been apart of their successes. It

is very difficult to point out dif-

ferent feats with the Soldiers

assigned here other than their relent-

less work ethic and pace setting goal

raising standards. Our Soldiers have

made this last year not only a pleas-

ant experience regardless of the

situation that we found ourselves, but

a family environment. For that I

would like to say thank you to each

Soldier and Family Member for mak-

ing this time away from my family

and theirs much easier. As we pre-

pare to return home take a moment to

familiarize yourselves with the rein-

tegration tips from the deployment

guides and cherish the time that you

will spend together. God Bless!

FRG SPOTLIGHT

With this being the last newsletter com-

ing out of Qatar, I know that the people

in the USA are more than happy to see

this day coming. As I am sure those of

you who have served this past year are

just as happy. Let us hope that the rest

of the tour goes by fast and we have

everyone home and ready to get back to

their families. How blessed we have

been with this deployment. With my

time being so very short as the FRG

Lead, it is with both joy and

sadness that I will be stepping

down. I have been enriched and

bless more than anyone will

ever know to have the opportu-

nity to be a part of this great

unit. Thanks for letting me be a

part of your lives.

impossible. So simply

put from those of us in

Qatar to those that are

left behind…..Thank

You!

Commanders Cup Events

Soldiers from the 2175th recently participated in two more Commander Cup Events. The

Combat swim and the skills test run. The combat swim involved swimming 50 m in uni-

form with a M16 rifle. The skills test run involved looking at 10 random items for 30 sec-

onds, run a half mile, don, clear, and check your protective mask correctly within 9 sec-

onds, after that run another half mile, then write down the 10 items you looked at in the be-

ginning.
