REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- As part of AMCOM 101 for Aviation, Soldiers participated in presentations and discussions focused on aviation readiness and sustainment, and toured Redstone Arsenal facilities to see the aviation technology that is being developed in support of Soldiers in the field. Here are comments from attendees at AMCOM 101 for Aviation:
"I've liked seeing the enterprise. It's amazing. At the unit level, you don't see all this. Hearing about things from a general's perspective, for a junior officer, that's amazing."
-- Capt. Sam Calvert, maintenance test pilot, Fort Bliss
"I enjoyed seeing the PM and meeting our points of contact. I took everyone's card so that I have that information when I get back to my unit. It was good to learn about some of the best practices. As the only Apache battalion at Camp Humphries, Korea, it was good getting to talk to Soldiers from other Apache units about different issues and best practices."
-- CWO3 Jesse White
"There was a lot of great information at pretty much the right level. It's a great opportunity to meet other CABs, and to hear the commanding general's perspective and priorities. What's important to your boss, is important to you."
Brought five sergeants major with him.
-- CSM Chris Bosowski, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, Fort Campbell, Ky.
"I learned a lot about the supply system and the logistics side of things. It was interesting to learn about the big picture stuff, about what makes everything turn up top."
-- Sgt. First Class Steven Smith, Aircraft Quality Control Supervisor-AH-64D/E, 31 ID Combat Aviation Brigade, Hunter Army Airfield
