RIP CWO Galvin
RIP Chief.
I am very sorry for this loss. Night Stalker pilots are the best of the best.
“Night Stalker pilots are the best of the best.”
You’ll get no argument from me on this statement.
Rest in peace Sir. God be with your family.
“married father of two, had deployed nine times in his career”
God bless his family and comfort them.
^this & word^ Deployed 9 times and only 15 years service. Only 10 years as a Chopper pilot and some of that as an instructor pilot. I would have to guess that he volunteered for the multiple deployments, or something is very wrong with the whole rotation in country thing. ” Crash not believed to have been caused by hostile fire”. I think the load master forgot to cipher in the weight of the big brass ones. God Speed Chief and peace unto His Family.
Fair winds and following seas, CWO Galvin.
Rest in Peace.
