When someone puts on the uniform, he or she takes risks. Thanks for serving, Soldier.

Routine training missions have claimed more of my shipmates than actual war. Fair winds and following seas, SFC Boner.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Once again reminding us that preparation for war can be as deadly as war at times.

Rest in peace, our condolences to your family and friends.

I knew Mark since 2013, right after I returned from my second trip to AFG. He was extremely smart and capable BN S4 NCO who was about getting Soldiers stuff as opposed to being a supply dickhead and saying “No” to every request. He was an AGR soldier who was on the rise and his passing will hurt the entire state and deprive us of a good leader who would have made a fine E8 or higher…

Rest well, SFC.
