PWST, SNCOIC UPDATE: - Tuesday, May 30, 2006
As we move into June of 2006 it seems only days ago that our Marines were in Iraq doing what Marines do best. Now everyone is home and moving on with their lives. Several have left the unit while others are no longer in the Corps. Some have been promoted and become part of the changing unit. We are now Fox Co, AT Bn and moving towards a new training regiment.

We have a new crew of young Marines at the I/I Staff that are learning the Acadiana Community and how to be a part of a Marine Reserve Unit. As with any transition there are bumps in the road but I assure you that these Marines will set a new standard of support that exceeds all predecessors. As I finish my tour as the Staff-Non Commissioned Officer in Charge of the PWST I will do my very best to support the I/I, the Marines and the unit. I also thank each of you family members that became personally involved in the unit while the Marines were deployed. Without your help I and the PWST could not have accomplished the level of support that set an example to be followed. As a unit the rear party accomplished a lot that was done behind the scenes are often never spoken of. Obviously the danger level was much less that that faced by our
