    As many battle buddies lost to combat as to suicide—what a shame.

    Last day in uniform. 9.5 years. 4 trips to Afghanistan. 3 years in both 82nd Airborne & 10th SFG. Roughly 10 comrades lost to combat & another 10 to suicide. Entire career as a fire support officer. 1 of ~20 Army Officer JTACs. It’s been a wild ride. AATW. DOL.
