FORT HUACHUCA — Maj. Gen. Barbara Fast will be turning over the command of the Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca on June 29 to Brig. Gen. John Custer.
Fast will become the deputy for the Army Capabilities Integration Center at the Training and Doctrine Command headquarters at Fort Monroe, Va. Custer, who is on the promotion list to major general, will be returning to Fort Huachuca from his current assignment as director of intelligence for the U.S. Central Command at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla. During his previous stint on the fort, Custer served as the Intelligence Center's deputy commander.

Soon to be a story as some tried to tie her to Abu-Gharib.
Ogod.
I knew Custer as a 1LT.
Unless he has undergone a total personality transplant, look for bad things coming out of the schoolhouse.
THAT... does not bode well.
Having recently gone through the school-house, the Commandant doesn’t have a big role. I never met or heard MG Fast my entire five months at Ft. Huachuca.
When I wore a younger man’s uniform, Officer Calls to the CG were mandatory. I personally met Uncle Sidney and Uncle Julius in this way.
I am glad I didn’t meet Aunt Claudia. Aunt Barbara, I’m just not sure of.
But Custer? I’ll keep you in my prayers.
Custer did not do too well as a Colonel either. Hiwever, his enemies are always after his scalp!
I last met him as an O-3. He spent his whole junior career within praying distance of the flagpole.
Probably different days, when some of the old traditions were still in practice. Not so anymore.
:shaking head sadly:
Isn’t that the way of things...
Then we may have crossed paths a couple of times. Met Uncle Julius when I was as OAC at Ft Wegotcha in 1987. Have no memory of this Custer guy.
Haven’t worn my blues or A’s since I left OBC. Then, I was in Iraq for 10 months immediately after OBC, so that might be a cause for that.
I was briefly at Wegotcha in ‘87, out there for the SSO Course.
OBC in ‘85, OAC in ‘89.
Custer was the DA Rep for MI Branch as an O-1 thru O-3. Ft. meade and the Palace. That’s why you didn’t see him; Huachuca was flyover country to him.
You were OIF 4, I think? Or OIF 3?
Can somebody in the know tell us if this a move up, lateral, or down for MG Fast? Thanks in advance
Not likely in my experience. If they are an ass hole when a 2LT or 1LT, you can bet your last can of C-Rations that he is a complete and utter ass hole to deal with now.
Think it’s a lateral staff job to hide her.
Is that your take Jinx?
172 SBCT out of Ft. Wainwright, AK. I think its OIF III, but I’m not sure. We are on OIF IV right now, I think. I just call it OIF.
With a helluva lot more weight ontheir collar, to go with it.
That is what makes them dangerous.
