Do you want to know why I've been MIA lately? I've been honing my skills at US Army National Guard Sniper school. With it being Veteran's Day today, I thought I'd share with you what I've been up to. In a less than a week, I will become Sniper qualified. A dream that has taken over a decade to materialize has finally one true. After nearly 14 years, 2 deployments, and more memories than I can keep track of, it goes by so quick. This veterans day I have spent crawling around in the creeks and forests of Arkansas. To all my brothers and sisters, it has been and continues to be my honor to serve with and learn from the deadliest warriors in the world. This year has been tough, though. I lost one of my own. I can tell you from experience, it's a painful thing to lose someone you've invested so much of yourself into. It hurts to lose young men who were destined to be good leaders. I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a sense of guilt because I wasn't always what he needed me to be. I wasn't always empathetic or patient. I wasn't always present. I did the best I could and I have to live with and process what that meant to him. This is the part of Veterans day that people don't talk about. The part where you don't want to celebrate and honor yourself because they aren't here to enjoy it. They being the dead... Survivor's guilt is a harsh reality and it's one that many warriors woke up with today. I'm not in a bad place but I am in a solemn place on days like today. 'Waz' will always be remembered, if by no one else, by me. Here's to all of my warriors who have survived their battles and the one's who have not. This is to the veterans who have sacrificed; to the men and women who have sacrificed themselves upon the alter of freedom. This is for those who served 3 years or have given their lives. A veteran is a veteran. Be proud of your service. Honor yourself but always remember to honor those who have paid a higher price. Happy Veteran's Day, SSG Dylan J.
