Pvt. Durso is a man who had no problems quickly becoming “one of the guys” in our squad. He was joking and communicating well from his first Drill. He has shown himself to be proficient with rifle, and has always been happy to hop into an MRAP or take the Mortar when needed. He is never shy about saying his mind, and always has a great attitude during drills. Congrats on your Promotion to PFC Durso, I can’t wait to see how well you do when you get your AIT.
