Dolomite Chapter on the move
The 31 FW Dolomite Chapter has been on the go the
last several months. In mid January, our AEF-7 troops "Returned With Honor" from
Balad AB, Iraq where the 555th EAMU (within the 332 EAMXS) kept the heritage
alive by driving home record setting sortie/MC rate stats. In addition, several
LROs are deployed on with an Embedded Training Team (ETT) in western Kabul,
Afghanistan supporting the Afghanistan National Army HQ Logistics Command Fuel
Depot. The ETT is teaching the Afghan people how to set-up or restructure their
current transportation and supply networks.
On 19 Jan 06, we opened our annual membership drive and hosted the 31 FW Command
Chief, Pamela Lane, as our guest speaker. Chief Lane spoke to the Chapter about
dealing with tough enlisted corps challenges, finding the right balance in force
shaping, and understanding what the enlisted troops expect from maintenance
officers. Additionally, we've revamped our website to include Chapter goals, an
events calendar, and quarterly updates on our Chapter events. We are currently
in the planning stages for sponsoring this year's Maintenance Professional of
the Year golf tournament. The Dolomite Chapter will cover all golf expenses for
each award nominee. Lastly, several LOA members are getting up-front
experiences with their first TDYs as project officers. Both the 555th and 510th
AMUs are deploying to Zaragoza, Spain and Site 53 over the next several months.
