Young or old, these soldiers are all members of FSU whether current students or alumni. Each soldier plays a vital role within the unit, the community, and ultimately the mission. These soldiers epitomize what it means to be a soldier in the United States Army and also be students here at FSU. Because of all the blood, sweat, and tears that these soldiers put into there job, they are able to perform a wide range of missions including security operations, route clearance operations, to breaching and clearing, and medically saving other soldiers lives. These soldiers can be deployed at any moment, which means they have to put down their textbooks and put away their Seminole hats and jerseys well later exchanging them with boots and guns. The soldiers of the 344th Engineering Company use these tactics and abilities to perform the mission and to become victorious in whatever the assigned task. No matter what journey you embark on, there is always a finish line or goal, in which you can only hope to reach. Within the life of a Seminole soldier of the 344th Engineering Company, his or her daily route can range from finishing a paper for there ENC1101 class, doing well on a biology exam or fighting against the

SFC Sousa’s daily operational tempo was consumed with challenges ranging from advising on logistic support requirements for life support on the base to finding out who he should talk to about establishing a Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DoDAAC) for this new installation. In addition to this, he became the subject matter expert for Morale and Welfare Recreation (MWR) matters.

Who doesn’t love to hear bragging every single Christmas party, hear people somehow related to you fawn over their amazing grandchildren? “Oh Myrtle, did you hear she managed not to flunk her science class?” “Why yes I did! What a brilliant child, you should really be proud!”. These are the most torturous and annoying sounds that could ever be uttered, and yet I hear them about my cousins every Christmas party. Without fail. And every year, this reaffirms my decision to bother with harder classes- besides the obvious competition with my sister. It’s a pride thing, to be able to look at yourself and think that not only can you do this, but you can do it well when not everyone can and that’s really why I choose to take these types of classes.

As Career Fair Chair for the Student Engineers’ Council, I have had the opportunity to gain experience in Operations and Logistics. I am responsible for coordinating and planning all aspects of the Engineering Career Fair from coordinating with Reed Arena to assigning volunteers for the days of the fair. Through this position, I have learned how important experience, communication and detailed planning are for an event or organization of any size. I believe that this experience would help me greatly if selected as the Operations/Logistics/Training Sergeant.

Once activated, Soldiers conduct immersive, training scenarios before receiving individual training certification. Meanwhile, theater specific mobilization training and validation of unit’s preparedness occurs at the mobilization-training center and commonly concludes following a 60 to 90 day demonstration of those abilities. Avenger battalions (BN), including each assigned battery (BTRY), obtain validation by First Army Division West which confirm the integrated, collective capabilities of their air defense wartime mission essential tasks at Fort (Ft) Bliss, Texas (TX).

The next part, our Annual SHARP training, will be on the 27th and 28th. My plan is for TF ODIN to attend the Mr. Russell Strand seminars (see attachments).
