More Deployment Souvenirs - Part 1

The Stetson isn't the only accoutrement that can be earned while attached to a Cavalry unit. Another rite of passage is called a Spur Ride. The details behind a Spur Ride vary by unit, it isn't an official Army sanctioned event so it is up to the unit to come up with something. The driving force behind the Spur Ride is unit morale, team building, and a tie back to Cav history. The 167 Cav held a spur ride on the 18th of March, and I was lucky enough to participate.

Our team consisted of the 2 finest mail clerks in all of Iraq, Beans and Burnometer. Initially the Flecker was going to round out our team, but he got cold feet and backed out. In order to make up for the loss of a Specialist, we added 2 Captains to Team America. CPT Varejcka is our S4 (logistics) officer and CPT Wangler is in charge of the base defense projects like the new fence we are putting up and the new guard towers.

For TF Saber's spur ride, MAJ Teegerstrom wanted it to be training for what we do over here, so it was tailored for Iraq. There were 10 stations that we had to navigate as a team. They were: a timed ruck march, tire change on a Humvee, map reading, medical tasks, grenade throwing, radio operation, blue force tracker (the gps enabled computer system that we use to keep track of all of our guys), Cav history, and the senior spur holder station. We spent about a month prepping for each station so we could dominate each station like good staff Troopers should.

Here is the first batch of pictures from our day. Team America lining up to move out.

Map reading station.

3 man litter carry at the Senior Spur Holder station.

MAJ T giving a pep talk.


Team America changing the tire. I used my cat like quickness to hop into the trunk.

Weapons station. We had an M16, M9 pistol, M2 machine gun (.50 cal) and M240B machine gun completely dissembled in one big pile that we had to assemble in less then 6 minutes.
Putting the finishing touches on the 2 machine guns.

More pictures to follow in Part 2.

Hey Steve...
I'm glad to see you back up in full force. This is definitely more like it! It's good you're doing some things to make the days less mundane.

What's the update on the NCAA brackets? Nice job on the running, and what B said... "Sweet Irene!"

Thanks for the pictures!
Looks like Las Vegas. The flat landscape, brown sand and blue sky. Where are the casinoes? Watched David Letterman last night and they were talking about our soldiers in Iraq. Said that there is a notice by the telephone in the Chaplain's office with rules for calling home. The first rule when you call home is to always say, I love you first. Then you should ask how your loved ones are, before you ask about your car, boat, and motorcycle! Wish I had heard the rest of the list.
Glad you are making the best of a difficult situation. Reminds me of stories about my dad when he served in World War II in New Guinea. To combat boredom, Dad taught himself to type. Even planted a garden while mosquitoes sent him to the hospital. He got drafted so fast, they never had time to teach him how to use a gun!

Thank you for keeping us posted. Special blessings to you and all our troops and their loved ones. Keep the faith and know that you are loved. We place our trust in You, Oh Lord.
Judy and Randy, Chaplain Luken's Uncle

Sack,
Glad you're back in action buddy. Looks like one heck of a competition. So how did Team America do? Domination I presume!

Ole' Buddy B.

Sack said...

Brandee,
Glad to be back. Knowing how this deployment is gone they'll block blogger from MWR here in about a week once I get used to blogging again.

Umm, what brackets? Oh yea, I threw those away. I had 7 of 8 teams in the Great 8 right and got ZERO Final Four right. What are the odds of that????? I hope yours are better. My cousin Laura was in the top 1000 out of 300k on Fox Sports before the final four.

Judy and Randy,
Thanks for checking in. I'll show Chappy where the MWR lab is so he can start updating his blog again. We just finished our Sunday study on Every Man's Battle but we still have our Wednesday night study on Revelations going. He is a busy man.

B,
You'll have to wait patiently. More to follow.

I got used to being disappointed, always checking your blog....and nothing. Glad you are back! Works well that you appear to be the only carrot top in your pictures, easy to spot! Stay well and play hard! Grandma

HOOAH Team America!!! You guys are the best team out there - keep up the good work. You know, the spur ride is probably a really nice change to the daily routine, huh? I feel like you guys are on survivor or something!!! :)

Good to hear from you.
