For nearly three years, PFC Buckner has been a staple of Easy Company, First Platoon, if not the cornerstone crewman. Two years ago, he earned his Crewman Marksman Badge, and since then, he has steadily developed into a confident and capable vehicle commander.
PFC Buckner’s deep understanding of vehicles and his strong tactical awareness have led to consistent success for both himself and his team. Even when not in the commander’s seat, his contributions have played a vital role in scrimmage victories for both EP1 and EP4 over the past year.It is with great pride that we now recognize PFC Buckner’s continued excellence with the awarding of the Crewman Sharpshooter Badge. This achievement stands as a testament to his leadership, skill, and unwavering commitment to his role. While this badge is just one milestone among many he has set for himself, it remains one of the most challenging honors to earn within the 29th.
Congratulations, PFC Buckner. You have earned it.
