Separating soldier dies rescuing DD-214
FAYETTEVILLE, NC — A soldier has died after being struck by a vehicle on Skibo Road, mere minutes after having left the Army, military officials reported.
Police said the cause of the accident was the soldier's attempt at retrieving his DD-214 form, which had blown out of his car and into traffic.
Specialist David Willis, 22, completed his four-year enlistment Monday. After completing out-processing paperwork, he packed his car and left Ft. Bragg to begin transition leave, a period of excused absence used in conjunction with separation from the military.
Eyewitnesses said that Willis was honking his horn and fist pumping in apparent celebration of his new freedom.
