Read in the Army Times this morning that a Culinary Specialist, SSG Avonye Chisolm, of 1st Bn, 75th Ranger Regiment, was killed in a training airborne proficiency jump at Galahad Drop Zone in Georgia. He shows up as an RP member. Rest in Peace brother.

SSG Avonye Chisolm was on RP not long ago telling of his efforts to feed his Rangers outstanding meals. I had several messages from him regarding his skills and efforts. I hope he finds another kitchen to be happy in. May he RIP. COL Sam RussellTo: CSM Charles Hayden

"""Roger that CSM! only while working on the grill did I not wear headgear. It's actually within the new ServSafe Manager exam. Wearing headgear while working on extremely hot grills have the potential to singe pieces of said headgear and get into the food. Granted, it unltimately doesn't matter because of the fact the grill gets so hot it would kill any bacteria short of white phosphorus haha. But, If my superiors wanted me to wear headgear while on the grill..I follow orders CSM. Thank you for your endorsement""""

In Answer to the Question...
I have known many Who died or were Killed In training events ...
from Accidents in Convoys on the "Autobahn", to Drowning on JCETs In Malaysia , in Qualification Courses events to Malfunctions on proficiency Jumps, Crash landings during Night landings, to Flying into low hanging Power lines, Troops being Crushed between or Under Vehicles during Desert Training Operations... Not to mention miscalculation on "Arty" Charges, to Poor "Calculation and Placement" on Demo Charged...

may They all RIP...

An incredible loss. I got the opportunity to talk with him via RP and he was a focused and driven young man with a plan. RIP.
