RIP SFC Williams
 

Just found out Senior Drill Sergeant SFC Ricky Williams was killed last night after being hit by another vehicle on his motorcycle. He was on the way to talk to the members of Alpha Company 232nd Medical BN who were leaving for Airborne school the next day, the rest of Aco (including me) had just left after graduation earlier that day.

He was one of the funniest people I've ever met and a stand up guy, he will be missed.

RIP SFC Ricky Williams

I found out today. One of my old AIT buddies told me. I am at loss for words. He was more than just "cadre". He gave everything. He would help those who needed it. He would and did put his ass and his reputation on line for all of us. He will be missed. I am going to call 1SGT Clarke or Cpt. Mann and see when the memorial service is and a bunch of us are gonna chip in and send flowers and donations to the family.Rest In Peace. My mentor and the man that inspired me to live how I live and do what I do best. Save lives.

better soldiers. Please thank all of the Soldiers that send their
regards. Anyone that wants to send regards please have them send it to
