Heartbreaking. He was there to honor everyone who serves and lost his life doing it. Praying for his family and the 6th Combat Training Squadron. From one vet: rest easy, brother. 🇺🇸

Why is this even a thing? We don’t need our military defying death within the states, they already do that abroad.

Why question is why wasn’t a belay man at the bottom of that rope? A belay man is usually required for a rappel. The belay man provides a brake by taking up the slack on the rope and pulling it taut to stop descent.
