| The weapons squad, recognized as the best in the battalion by CSM Leon-Guerrero this past summer, continues its tradition under SSG Weeks, the new WSL. For platoon Exeval, PFC Rodriguez performed as the acting WSL, never faltering, bringing great credit upon himself and the weapons squad. We will miss you, ROD. |
