Blue Skies and my condolences.This hits way too close to home...Sgt Carp was one of the best guys I knew in Batt,
It will never translate over the forum but the way he threw that last line out as a question still makes me audibly laugh when I think of it.
I literally have nothing bad to say about the man. We talked about upstate NY, RRC, jumping, he was the only person to ever thank and greet everyone in the company with “merry Christmas brother” before the holiday 4 day, when he was just a floater in HQ before heading to RRC he would hang out with the Unassigned new guys, FIST, medics and Commo (where I was at the time)- I wish I had my buddy C.’s Snapchat of him chugging a wine cooler we found in the back of the HQ platoons fridge. He was just a great fucking dude.His spirit will live forever in the hearts of the men that were blessed to know him.

Carry on his traditions and tell your young Rangers stories about him EVERY chance you get. That way he, and those like him, will never die.
You’re a good man Charlie Brown.
