2012! It is hard to be-

lieve but it is upon us.

The New Year marks yet

another milestone in our

journey. One I am sure

that we are all glad to

mark off of our calendar.

Things here in Qatar are

ever changing, in fact

the only constant is

change. Since our last

newsletter SFC Howard-

has been selected to be

the head of the DFAC

here on Camp As Sayli-

yah and SFC Stoebe will

soon be taking over as

the NCOIC of the tax

preparation center. The

2175th has begun to fill

much needed vacancies

on the post and we are

glad to do so. As a result

of these changes we

COMMANDER’S CORNER

First, I hope everyone had a good

Holiday Season. In speaking with a

lot of the Solders they seemed to

enjoy the time as best as they could.

The Camp tried very hard to make

the holidays here different from

other days to include the activities

and meals that were provided. I had

the opportunity to serve your Sol-

diers with both a Thanksgiving and

Christmas meal which I thoroughly

enjoyed. The Commander was right

beside me as I too served his portion

as well. Same scene for both meals.

As the Holiday season moves past us

we are still focused on increasing

and improving the Camp around us

in many ways. Your Soldiers have

done an outstanding job and have

been recognized for that work from

the CENTCOM Command Sergeant

Major as well as The Adjutant Gen-

eral of the Missouri Army National

Guard General Danner and State Ser-

geant Major CSM Schulte. I am

very proud of all of our Soldiers here

and the jobs that they are doing.

Know that they are constantly think-

ing of you all back home as I have

spent time with them. Once again,

Happy Holidays!

1SG PROUDLY PRESENTS

FRG SPOTLIGHT

After getting everything taken care of with the

Christmas party and raffle, we were able to

donate to the Combs family $500 from the

regular raffle and $179 from the 50/50 raffle.

Shelia has started her round of treatment for the

next 6 or 7 weeks. Please keep her in your

prayers.

It seems like we have had several new arrivals

within the unit, and expecting more before too

long. We have been well blessed.

I am looking forward to another short

year, it seems like 2011 has just flown

by, hopefully 2012 will be the same

way.

Happy New Year from the Good Old

USA!

Mama Z

have moved two new

personnel to platoon

sergeants, SFC Stark

and SFC Williams.

Please welcome then to

their new and challeng-

ing roles. The last few

months have moved

very quickly for us. I

pray they have moved

just as quickly for those

at home!
