Thought I would try to e-mail you and let you know that finally I am home and doing a lot better not ready to run a marathon race but at least a lot better. This has really been a bad ordeal for me but I am thankful it is over, I hope. After spending six days in ICU I finally got moved onto another floor and spent another four days there I was begging to go home. I was sure on a wild trip due to the drugs I was on and don't think I care to go on that trip again. If the folks didn't know me they probably would have thought I was crazy as a loon. Robin (her daughter) finally told the doctor that I was confused and hallucinating and he changed my medication to something else and I started getting clear headed after that.

PRAISE GOD, had it not been for him I wouldn't be here today.

BELOW IS A STORY AND PICTURE ABOUT CLIFF CHAPMAN AND HIS SQUAD. CLIFF IS THE GRANDSON OF DREAM (MARTIN) & ROGER VASS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY ARE VERY PROUD OF HIM. JAKE

1/13/2006 - ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam -- B-1B Lancers from the 34th Bomb Squadron at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D, have deployed here.

The rotation was seamless for the 34th BS because they traded the rotation with another Ellsworth squadron, which left its bombers behind for them to use.

“The support we’ve received from Andersen has been fantastic, and I’m not just saying that. Everything has been fantastic,” said Lt. Col. Dana Powell, 34th deputy commander of operations.

Maintaining 24-hour operations in 12-hour shifts presents a new challenge for aircraft maintainers from South Dakota where the climate is completely different.

“Ellsworth is a dry climate, and it’s a damp environment here,” Tech. Sgt. Robert Mulder said. “The rain and salt air affects all the equipment.” The aerospace ground equipment technician maintains the equipment to keep it running and corrosion-free.

“It’s a good challenge. It keeps me busy, and I learn new things” said Tech. Sgt. Glen Rausch, one of two quality assurance inspectors here.

“Our goal is to get aircrews 100 percent combat-qualified while still maintaining a bomber presence in (the Pacific),” said Capt. David Black, aircraft maintenance unit officer in charge. “The jets are flying good and the aircrews are getting qualified.”

The 34th launches seven to 10 sorties a week.

With a good mix of combat and non-combat experienced crews, the squadron makes up a small community that offers great training for all involved.
