I'm not sure where to vent this: I found out a Soldier whom I was stationed and friends with was caught in a CP sting
I had known this guy for my entire four years stationed there.
We met in the barracks CQ when I was a PFC and he was a SPC; I was brand new to the unit. Despite being in a Team Leader role and being surrounded by "old school" NCOs, he was eager to help out any Soldier regardless if you were under his leadership or not.
I watched him progress to CPL, SGT to SSG (post PCS and reclass), strive and overcome challenges. The Soldiers whom he helped were all by his side during these promotions. We kept in contact years post my PCS, but communitcation dwindled by early 2023 and he went almost silent later that year up to this point.
Today, I had learned through a friend that he was caught in a CP sting amongst a group of men. It hits very hard when it is someone you know, looked up to and would have never thought they would commit this despicable act.
All I can say, SSG E: Rot in prison and in hell, you pathetic shit.
