‘Bene Volare Vitam Salvare’<br />
I am an American Soldier..."Here I am! Send me." Isaiah 6:1, 8<br />
From First Sergeant Polozeck...<br />
It's March and we are finally into Spring! The weather is getting nicer and we<br />
can definitely tell the change. It is getting warmer in the afternoons and not as cold at<br />
night. As we move into the new season, we are thinking of loved ones and home. We<br />
are looking forward to packing our equipment and personal belongings and head to<br />
the States! Plans are being made on the what and when, and I ask all of the families<br />
and Soldiers to be patient. The time is quickly approaching and the dates (target<br />
week), although sliding to the left and right a few days, have not changed. As soon as<br />
the dates are in stone, I will make sure to put them out to your Soldiers so that all will<br />
be informed. This last month brought 3 promotions and I couldn't be any happier. SSG<br />
Scott-McDonald, SGT Rahl and SGT Bresee were all promoted. I am as proud as I can<br />
be, congrats! As well, new additions for SGT Dixon's and CW2 McNeeley's families. I<br />
hope that all are healthy and happy. As always, my primary job as the 1SG is to make<br />
sure that your Soldiers are taken care of. We (I mean every one in the <strong>Company</strong>) keep<br />
an eye on each other. Some are tired, some are sore (PT Test time!), and some have<br />
the typical seasonal sore throats and coughs. There are no other problems to report.<br />
Your Soldiers are healthy and in high spirits! I cannot say enough about the quality<br />
and professionalism of our Soldiers.<br />
I stand ready, always, to answer any questions you may have.<br />

The month of February was a month of work, work, work…..and celebration! Once again <strong>Charlie</strong><br />
<strong>Company</strong> had much to be thankful for, as well as celebrate, as we promoted yet another soldier<br />
(WO1 Brian Thacker) to CW2, we formally presented 1SG Polozeck with his flight wings after<br />
successfully meeting the Army requirements (in TRUE <strong>Charlie</strong> <strong>Company</strong> fashion), and welcomed a<br />
new member of our company as SGT Jeffry Dixon and his wife celebrate the birth of their son<br />
Alexander Cole Dixon. Even, in theater, the thought of selfless service and commitment persevere<br />
and are welcomed in ways such service extensions. After serving for over 23 years, SSG Eddie<br />
Basham extended on his Birthday (Feb 8th) for another year! Colonel Killingsworth, our out-going<br />
Battalion Flight Surgeon & Medical Director, swore him in; having already served with SSG<br />
Basham in OIF 2006. HOOAH!<br />

From 1st up watching movies (CW2 Turner), to TACOPS (CW‟s 4 Buzzard and Neveu),<br />

DUST DUST EVERYWHERE...<br />
<strong>Charlie</strong> <strong>Company</strong> 2-<strong>149</strong> <strong>GSAB</strong> Vol. 1 Ed. 6<br />
Once again, the country of Iraq has shown it’s dynamic weather facets. Just when you<br />
think the weather “looks” good and clear, it turns. The winds pick up and the dust rolls in.<br />
Not only does it stay for that timeframe but sometimes lingers for days. It layers everything<br />
like snow and, in the aftermath, is followed by another day of sweeping, mopping, and<br />
cleaning. Our lungs have gotten quite acquainted with the areas “offerings”.<br />

We are fortunate that our mission takes us all around the theater of operations.<br />
Here are some of the sights from above, and while on the ground, at different<br />
areas of operation, local hospitals, and at JBB. The environment here continues to<br />
baffle all of us, as we fly over areas completely baron, and then moments later,<br />
find ourselves flying over areas of beautiful green pastures and Bright Blue water!<br />

It‟s been a short month for February, kicking off with the Superbowl! JBB MWR<br />
hosted a 2 beer day while showing the Superbowl at the West Side MWR. The 1k<br />
“Man Love” run lead the month and Sgt Soto took home the “Kick Butt” trophy and<br />
his 1k tank top. We had lots of fun around the bonfire and working together on and<br />
off the battlefield. Sgt Dodson represented C co. at the Valentine‟s Day 5k and ran a<br />
great time. The highlight of the month of February was the planning and the kick off<br />
of the 100 day race. Everyone is running, biking, lifting, and “ellipticalling” to the<br />
finish. A few of us have also gotten into Kenpo, a martial art class that Chuck Norris<br />
is teaching at a gym here. Just kidding, but Chuck Norris did send us an autographed<br />
poster telling us about a possible visit to Iraq and wishing <strong>Charlie</strong> <strong>Company</strong> well as<br />
we finish up here. We also had a great visit from the rock band “Quiet Drive” and we<br />
appreciated their support. The next month will be just as action packed with multiple<br />
runs and activities. Until next time…….. Withrow; out!

A few pics from our TOP-NOTCH Maintenance Team...<br />
MAINTENANCE<br />
Page 10<br />
When it comes to maintenance, platoons tend to dissolve. The crew chiefs and maintenance pilots<br />
of <strong>Charlie</strong> <strong>Company</strong> work as a team in our hangar to get the job done. We all rotate through the<br />
schedule, when our flight rotation ends, we work on the maintenance team until it is our turn to fly<br />
again. When we have an aircraft in phase, the production control team will choose a crew chief to<br />
work with our contractors to get the aircraft through the inspection. Lately, due to people going on<br />
leave, and various other reasons, the maintenance team has been a bit of a skeleton crew most of<br />
the time. The pool of crew chiefs has been a little thin, and everyone takes their turn on the flight<br />
schedule, including the maintenance officers. We get a lot of help from our civilian counterparts.<br />
They handle the phases and most of the heavy maintenance. Somehow, we manage to pull it off<br />
and maintain one of the best operational readiness rates in the battalion.
MEDICS In MOTION...<br />

duty day, the medics find time to have fun and mess around. These pictures are from Kelly<br />
Compound and during some training events. This is how the Alamo Dustoff Crew Members stay<br />

Can you believe it! March is here and we are that much closer to our reunions with our families and friends. Though<br />
we are all ready to return, make no mistake we all stay ready and willing to execute our MEDEVAC mission.<br />
Currently, we are all in the process of completing our PT tests and qualifying with our weapons. We hope to<br />
complete these tasks so that we don‟t have to worry about them when we get home. From the Operations section,<br />
we have CPT Evans in Oklahoma. He is helping prepare our replacements by giving them the latest information in<br />
order to make our Transfer of Authority go as smoothly as possible. We just completed a visit from the Army‟s<br />
Department of Evaluation and Standards. Overall it was a very good visit as the evaluators were pleased with what<br />
they saw and gave our company praises. In Operations, SSG Tenorio, SGT Castro and SPC Aleem work hard to keep<br />
the information flow moving smoothly and without a hitch. CW2 Hildebrand keeps busy with maintenance<br />
support providing logistical guidance to our Maintenance Officer and staff, he does this with the addition of a<br />
good story or two." SGT Castro and SPC Aleem always keep the folks in operations smiling with their jokes and<br />
quick one liners. SSG Tenorio continues to keep track of company taskings along with their suspense dates. CW3<br />
Silva continues to manage the ever challenging schedule and does his very best to keep everyone standardized.<br />
SPC Anderson is in Normandy helping their operations section, though he comes to visit periodically. SSG Bourff<br />
just returned from a well deserved stint of R & R and will be giving SPC Benitez some much needed help in supply.<br />
There is no doubt SPC Benitez is more than anxious to have SSG Bourff back. CW4 Torres stays busy with the<br />
Safety program and the coffee shop „ALAMO JAVA‟ especially since CW2 Thacker is on leave, though many of our<br />
fellow soldiers have really helped out with the Coffee Shop duties. To all of our families and special ones at home<br />
we all want to send our love and give each of you a big Thank You! It is because of each of you that we are able to<br />
stay focused and perform our mission here.

Not only is this month the shortest, but the days have gone by quickly as well. Little of first platoon has<br />
been present within the company for the entire month. The month began with CW2 Silva‟s leave. This left<br />
CPT Gobble as the Operations Officer. He did liven up our crew calls with his easy going, joking demeanor.<br />
With CPT Gobble engaged in company business and later in the month going on leave, LT Merriam has<br />
been filling in as acting platoon leader. SGT Bresee and CW2 Garmon have both been in Normandy. CW3<br />
Caldwell “Mayor of CHUville” has been working at Battalion, helping out the Safety program. SGT Raposa,<br />
SSG Briseno, CW5 Jones, CPT Gobble, and CW4 Neveu have each enjoyed some of this month with their<br />
families while on R&R. SGT Soliz has been at aerial gunnery school and has provided much needed crew<br />
chief experience and expertise in preparing to fly an air assault mission that Battalion is covering for the<br />
remainder of the deployment . He is still flying with us, and his hard work is appreciated on both<br />
missions. SFC Rendon has been acting First Sergeant while the 1SG has been in Normandy. With CW5<br />
Jones on leave in Spain and our other Maintenance Test Pilots all on the flight schedule, SGT Strain has<br />
had a very busy month running maintenance with rarely more than 2 off duty crew chiefs. His<br />
professionalism and hard work have shown him to be an immense asset in MEDEVAC<br />
maintenance. CW2 Arnold has become the COMSEC officer since CW2 Garmon is in Normandy. He has<br />
been doing COMSEC, ALSE, and now back on the flight schedule. SSG Underhill has been helping out SFC<br />
Rendon in platoon operations while the 1SG is in Normandy. SGT Rios has been busy with maintenance,<br />
crew duties, and keeping up with his additional duties. He also did a great job passing his physical<br />
fitness test this month. I, SGT Shook, have been running the personal internet and the ULLS-A system<br />
with Mark on leave and CPT Tidaback at battalion. With most of our platoon, and much of our company<br />
elsewhere we have all been pretty busy with few to no days off of the flight schedule. You can see why I<br />
say that this month has soared by so quickly. We accept the challenge and continue proving ourselves<br />
every day. With so much of first platoon with such late leave dates; expect great things from us these<br />
next few months as we approach them refreshed and ready to finish up strong.

February might be the shortest month by days but it‟s not short in the amount of work and happenings for 2 nd<br />
Platoon. This month finds CW2 Bielss working feverishly to submit all of the company‟s awards to battalion, no easy<br />
task! The wind and dust storm of 10 Feb. was particularly memorable. With 45-50 MPH wind gusts, all available<br />
flight crews reported to the flight line to tie down the blades of the aircraft. The Severe Weather Team (SWaT) was<br />
once again put into action to cover any missions that may have been called in during the storm.<br />
Many great events happened during the month of February. The last “WOJ” in <strong>Charlie</strong> <strong>Company</strong> “finally” was<br />
promoted to Chief Warrant Officer 2. Congrats CW2 Brian Thacker! We wished CPT Melissa Macintyre and CW4<br />
Richie Schuler happy birthday for turning one year older. My boss (CPT Mac) still thinks that she‟s 21 but<br />
“whatever!” 2 nd Platoon had many of its soldier go on R & R leave this month. Those deserving soldiers were 1LT<br />
Hardiman, CW4 Schuler, CW3 Gudino, CW2 Olier, SSG Guzman, SPC Williams, and SPC Roark. I could tell that good<br />
times were had by all returning soldiers by the smiles on their faces and all of the sarcastic remarks about coming<br />
back.<br />
As we look ahead to the upcoming months there still is plenty of work to do. The mission is constant and still<br />
encompasses a great deal of our time. The redeployment planning process is in motion. Over the next two months<br />
we will be packing up and moving out of our home away home. I thought that I‟d never be so happy to see Fort Sill<br />
again! We will be very busy once our replacement unit shows up sometime in April or May. We all will be very eager<br />
to show the “new guys” the way we do business and orient them to their new compound.<br />
In closing I‟d like to thank all of the soldiers of 2 nd Platoon for their hard work this month. Keep up the great work<br />
and we will be home with ours family‟s soon.

The road home is being paved with hard work, dedication, and a continued commitment to our<br />
DUSTOFF mission. As the weather begins to warm our mission has become increasingly more<br />
vital. The members of 3 rd Platoon have been going above and beyond the call to provide those in<br />
need the highest level of care possible. 3 rd Platoon maintains visibility in many other areas<br />
supporting both Battalion and FOB Normandy. Also, a very notable mention is the new addition to<br />
SGT Dixon‟s family. C/2-<strong>149</strong> DUSTOFF sends our congratulations and best wishes to the Dixon<br />
family for the future. As always, the support received from home is an invaluable morale booster<br />
and allows us all to reassure ourselves of why we are here. We look forward to seeing you all<br />
again soon!<br />

Greetings from FOB Normandy! 2009 started and January is already over! February was a short month,<br />
so good news; we will be home in no time! The joke around here is that every day is Groundhog Day, so<br />
when February 2 nd rolled around, and it really was Groundhog Day, it wasn‟t really a joke that day.<br />
4 th platoon at FOB Normandy had several people go on leave this month; we thank the people who came<br />
out here to fill-in for those that were gone. Thank You to Capt. Evans, Mr. Buzzard, Sgt Atkins, Sgt Rios,<br />
SPC Bresee, and SPC Anderson. We hope your stay here at Normandy was a good one and we wish you<br />
well back at JBB in Balad. Mr. Taylor and Mr. Garmon have also come to Normandy to fill-in, but on more<br />
of a long term basis, and we are glad to have them here as well.<br />
The McNeely‟s have a new daughter, Elsie Jaelyn. Elsie was born on February 3 rd, weighing 7 lbs. 8 oz.<br />
Mrs. McNeely and Elsie are home and doing well. CW2 McNeely was able to home on leave for the birth.<br />
Dustin, Chasity, and big sister Vivian are all very proud to have Elsie enriching their lives.<br />
As well as scheduled leave, a few of our people had to go home on emergency leave to take care of ill<br />
family members, death in the family, or personal issues. Lt. Jones, Sgt Esquivel, SFC Greenwell, and<br />
Major Owens, from your Normandy family, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families.<br />
This month has been a time for “unusual attitudes” in the cockpit. You may think we are talking about<br />
some of the crazy pilots we have here, but let us explain. Mr. Taylor, the instrument evaluator, put all the<br />
pilots through some spatial disorientation exercises. Flying in the desert is difficult with the lack of<br />
terrain features and lack of color contrast, which unfortunately makes it easy to become disoriented in<br />
the cockpit while flying a mission. Mr. Taylor simulated these conditions, at 2500 feet, luckily, and put<br />
the pilots through an exercise where they would recover from an “unusual attitude” (not straight and<br />
level) and use the instruments to get us back on track, flying straight and level. Doing these practical<br />
exercises is a great way to show how important it is to trust the flight instruments to recover in those<br />
situations.<br />
We conducted simulated situations using our own crews as patients and exercised all personnel from<br />
flight operations, to crew chiefs, to medics, and the pilots. We identified areas we did well, and which<br />
areas we need to improve on. We can never be too prepared for emergency situations to occur.<br />
Fortunately for the ground troops, we haven‟t been that busy and have had to create our own training and<br />
ways to keep ourselves occupied lately. Even though we are getting closer to going home, our focus still<br />
needs to be here on our mission. Because, of course, our ultimate mission is to get home safely to our<br />
family and friends!

I am an American Soldier..."Here I am! Send me." Isaiah 6:1, 8<br />
February was again filled with lots of packages from home to help us celebrate as best we could<br />
away from our Valentines. We received many cards with great Valentines wishes, and the guys certainly<br />
had fun displaying the colorful decorations outside of their CHUs (some may have gone a little<br />
over board...not mentioning any (Mr. Bielss and Mr.<br />
Meischen) names, but....).<br />
The gals and guys have really stepped up the vigilance in a great effort to fight complacency. We<br />
have certainly become proficient and confident in our mission, but there is no room for "getting<br />
comfortable" when you are flying America's wounded sons and daughters off the battlefield.<br />
We have promoted more well deserved Soldiers to higher rank, but with higher rank comes greater<br />
responsibility. These newly promoted Soldiers have truly stepped up to fill big "Sergeant and Warrant<br />
Officer shoes."<br />
I am very proud of them all.<br />
Please know that we truly appreciate all the prayers for our Soldiers that have suffered hardships<br />
back home and all the moral support as we speed in to the last phase of our mission.<br />
Until next month, Alamo Dustoff 06, out!<br />
