Thomas Rulo, 319th Signal Battalion command sergeant major, Command Sgt. Maj. James Milligan, 505th Signal Brigade command sergeant major, and Col. Eric Rahman, 505th Signal Brigade commander.
“Some of you have trained for twenty years, while others are newly trained, and now you can take these skills and deploy with confidence,” said Col. Rahman. “I want to thank the families and friends that have come today to give their loved ones a proper send off and I want you to know that you can always contact me with any concerns.”
On a beautiful Californian day, the weather was perfect as the sunny day welcomed family members, wives, husbands, fathers, mothers, and children of all ages, who came to bid their loved ones’ farewell and good luck, filling the ballroom.
First Lt. Szumski, 812th Signal Company, Tactical Installation Network-Enhanced, Detachment 2 commander will lead 20 Signal Soldiers to Kuwait for 9 months to support the 160th Signal Battalion.
“Our Signal Soldiers’ bravery, sacrifice and unwavering commitment will keep our communication lines strong as we deploy downrange to Kuwait to provide cable support to military installations around the country and overseas as needed,” said Capt. Lopez. “As we bid farewell to these fine Soldiers, let’s embrace the challenges that lie ahead that will leave a lasting impact on our military strength.”
