FORT EUSTIS, VA - A former U.S. Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) soldier was surprised to find the Army has evolved much in the last twelve years. After immediately requesting a transfer to TRADOC on September 12, 2001 and spending over a decade instructing in numerous Army schools, he decided it was time for much needed change.
"Something was missing from my life," said Sergeant First Class Will Travis. "Even though I had the most important job in the military, training those who fight, I knew it was finally time to deploy overseas when I was passed over for promotion."
SFC Travis was eager to reintegrate into the Army after being out for so long. He was assigned as the scout/sniper section platoon sergeant with HHC 1-160th Infantry Battalion.
