When it comes to Easy Company and Second Battalion, SSgt. Bagge has been there for it all. He was the first platton Sgt. for EP1 and later tasked to be the platoon Sgt. for the newly create EP6 aka now as EP4. For a short time, he was known as Sir Bagge. He was not knighted but served a stint as Warrant Officer Bagge. Over that time, he has work with a number of officers including myself. When I came over, he took me under his wings and helped me adjust to a new game and a new way of doing things. He has a history of breaking in officers and them moving up to higher things. SSgt. Bagge is one of those guys that is always around and is constantly driving his platoon to be better and is still a fixture at EP1 platoon drills. I will share two things I have learned about SSgt Bagge over the years, first is his love of guns that you may have heard about in TS from time to time and secondly he is always angry. Over time I have found that even when he is happy, he sounds angry so I have come to a conclusion, it is either because he has been a SSgt so long or he is Finish. I am leaning more to the Finish side. So, for all of your hard work and dedication to Easy Company and Second Battalion, I would like to promote you to TSgt. Congratulation TSgt. Bagge.
