Read the day by day journal. It's pretty interesting.

That's a pretty good site. Sad that that guy was KIA. You read his entries and get to know him, then discover what happened to him.

Certainly brought back memories.

Take the link to the website and remove the 'journal' tag. It goes to his personal website. Check around and you'll see that he was KIA as a Scout PL in Iraq in 2007.

One reason he never finished posting his RS experience.

that's a great diary and powerful testimonial, not just a memorial, an inspiration

I read his journal in the days leading up to leaving for Suck School. It almost seemed like you were going through the course with him. Especially ion Mountains when he recycled or got caught with contraband. I wondered why he stopped on day 10 of Florida. I found out while in PRC. RIP Ranger!
