  1. I love the new site! I am SMSgt Jim Hotaling, Superintendant of the 125th. The men did real well on the no notice rescue op. All thier gear was packed for a high altitude training mission on Mt. Hood when we got the call. We recalled the unit and refitted for swift water rescue and deployed within three hours!

    HooYah Team!
