A few weeks ago I was honored to of been asked to pin a set of jump wings on one of my guys I served with in Afghanistan last year; SGT Joey Dimitrov has already completed Ranger School as a "leg," and is now assigned to the 82d Airborne Division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team (505th). He literally flew to Bragg about 4 hours after these photos were taken & is getting ready to deploy sometime early next year. Great day & one of the perks of being a CSM here at Benning - AIRBORNE!
