It's never easy saying goodbye, especially to families as wonderful as the Stitchers Shelby Stitcher , the Kellums and the Tervorts. As you all embark on your new Permanent Change of Station (PCS) adventures, please know you'll be deeply missed here.

You've all contributed so much to our community, creating lasting memories and friendships that we'll cherish. We're sad to see you go, but we're also incredibly excited for the new opportunities and experiences that await you.

May your new assignments be filled with joy, success, and seamless transitions. We wish you all the very best and hope our paths cross again soon!

We showed the kids some of the equipment we use and wear as well as showcasing the wrecker and HMMWV, and topped it off with some PT 💪🏼💪🏼 this was such a fun experience!! We have a great team here and had an amazing time getting to share the Army with hopefully some future Soldiers
