Every once in a while, us squad leaders are blessed with a private that goes above and beyond expectations. Recently for EP3S3, Pvt. Canales has been that guy. At first I was a little unsure if he would end up sticking around since he had to go on vacation pretty much straight out of BCT. But, he came back and right off the bat, Canales fit in to S3 and has solidified his place in the squad. Early on, it was easy to see that Pvt. Canales was skilled with his rifle, but, that hasn’t stopped him from constantly seeking to improve himself and the squad through guesting and picking up tips from more veteran players. Overall, Pvt. Canales has been great to have in the squad and is the type of private we all hope to have, but, he’s reached the point where private no longer seems fitting. Congratulations Canales on your EIB, RMB, and promotion to PFC!
