That would be my brother. While I was on tour (ROTC - Transportation Corps) my brother (OCS - Special Forces) was cross-training with NATO troops skiing in the Alps, and riding his motorcycle around Europe. I can't complain, though; I was assigned to 2nd Civil Affairs Co., it was sort of like being in the Peace Corps.

After Vietnam the suicide/death in combat ratio was 1:1. Nowadays, with drones and everything, death by combat is way down, but the ratio is up— 5:1. Some people don't respond well to the experience.

That said, best of luck.
