FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. – Second Lt. Miguel Herrera, an infantry platoon leader with A Company, 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, is a man of great confidence but has a growing sense of doubt. The 23-year-old Miami native has begun to question his decision to get a tattoo of his OCS class motto.
“It seemed like a really hooah idea at the time,” said Herrera. “A bunch of us were in Hotlanta for a long weekend, and the White Claws were flowing free. Then we passed a tattoo place.”
Sources in Fort Benning’s Officer Candidate School report Herrera reported for class the following Monday showing off his new tattoo — an American flag adorned with crossed Infantry rifles and a Punisher skull, with their platoon motto emblazoned across the top.
