Aaron was my teammate in Afghanistan on my first deployment. I didn’t know anything. He taught me, and taunted me as any good NCO does.
He earned multiple valor awards on that deployment and almost got killed several times. When he finally got out, we all breathed a sigh of relief.
Less than 100 days after exiting the Army, he died due to VA negligence in Nashville.
He deserved better. He deserved a long life.
I miss him.
@snarkyposters@Rebels_Raiders No worries, yeah they def keep getting used for industrial / safety application because they are nice. They made special versions that release under load to be used for cargo.

@MrLeadslinger Side note, are people having helmet setups so counter balanced that they prefer having NVGs half-down? I coulda sworn a lot of people were talking about leaving things out of your face for more self awareness not long ago...
I was too early into Japanese-US alliance content, Japanese people aren’t interested in the work of a Taiwanese-American weeb, they want to talk to American-Americans deep in the heartland 😂😭
