PFC Shepherd first joined the 29th and got put into EP3S3 it was quickly apparent that he was going to be a solid member of the squad and maybe even become a “core member.” Luckily for us, he wasn’t a fluke. Not only did he prove to be a solid rifleman, but, it was also obvious from his demeanor that there was potential for Shepherd to become even more than the average PFC. Now we’re nearing the end of his time in SLT and he’s already proving to be a solid ASL all before he even hit his first major milestone in the 29th. Congratulations PFC Shepherd on your 2nd AoCC and first year done in the 29th!
