Mandatory Fun | Army Wife Network

I used to think just like this when my husband and I first got married, but the more I became a part of the FRG the more I understand it's purpose. During non-deployments, these things can be annoying and seem a waste of time, but when deployment comes (and they always come) it is nice to know some families that are right there with you and can lend support. These events during non-deployment gives families in the unit time to get to know one another so that when our soldiers are gone, we are not meeting for the first time. I encourage everyone to take the hour or two a month during FRG Meetings or "Mandatory Fun" events to get to know the other spouses in your husbands unit. When the inevitable deployment comes, you will be surprised at what a difference it can make.

Tis the season for mandatory fun. This time of year brings FRG potlucks, coffee group White Elephant exchanges and all sorts of other renditions of the same.

With Operation Summit Judgement complete, Forge begins packing to return home. Although our work will continue for the next two days, and our trail party faces the challenge of loading the battalion's fleet of vehicles with just 40 personnel, we are now very close to returning home for a well deserved rest.

As the exercise continued, 2LT Jones decided that a tree in the company footprint needed to be removed. SGT Mann helpfully showed him how to avoid being injured, and later, SPC Ellgood took pity and staked the tree back upright.

From setting up equipment, to recovering vehicles, to conducting a ridealong with delta company and engaging the enemy, maintenance platoon has kept itself busy and sharpened its skills in the past week.

07/14/2014

Although these don't seem to fit the theme of "training exercise", the advanced party arrived in Camp Grayling several days before the beginning of the exercise itself, so in their free time, the Soldiers foraged for food and met some of the locals.

07/14/2014

As everyone knows, Forge is currently deployed to Camp Grayling, MI conducting joint training with National Guard units from several neighboring states. We will continue adding pictures of the Soldiers as the exercise progresses, but for now, here are some that are long overdue.

07/04/2014

While our nation celebrates its independence, SPC Dinkins and his wife Austen are celebrating the birth of their son, Wesley Michael (All American) Dinkins. Congratulations to the Dinkins family, Forge wishes you all the best!

Today we held another Ceremony, this time the Change of Responsibility from 1SG Mark Taylor to 1SG Jarvis Daigle. It was 1SG Taylor's last formation bringing an end to a career of over 29 years of service. 1SG Daigle is no stranger to the Fort Drum. He comes to us from the 7th Engineer Battalion where he served as the FSC First Sergeant and the in the Battalion S3. He bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that will become very valuable as the Company prepares for the deployment to Michigan next month.

06/13/2014

Yesterday we bid a fond farewell to CPT Horne and his wife Beatrice while welcoming CPT Stoner and his wife Sierra. As the guidon was being passed, we reflected on the strong leadership CPT Horne provided to the Forge Team and look forward to the same from CPT Stoner in the years to come.

Congratulations to Drill Sergeant Wyche. Newly gratuated this morning and ready to train the next generation of the Army's Soldiers. There is noone else we would rather see wearing the hat.

05/31/2014

On 30 May 2014, 1SG Taylor and his daughter Jasmine took part in the 10th Mountain Division's retirement ceremony, hosted by 1st Brigade. This marked the official retirement of a leader who has given so much over the past 29 1/2 years of service. 1SG Taylor we thank you for your devotion to us all and your impact to generations of Soldiers.
