The Pacific Regional Medical Command (PRMC) proudly congratulated five of their own in graduating from the 25th Infantry Division's Lightning Academy Air Assault Course at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii on March 7, 2014.

The PRMC graduates were Spc. Gustavo Alvarado, Cpt. David Delgado, Cpt. Jason Judkins, Sgt. Kyle Bagio and Spc. Richard Williams.

These officers and enlisted members possess different Areas of Concentrations (AOC) and Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), but all succeeded in the challenging school pursued by Soldiers across the Army.

The graduates successfully completed rigorous physical and mental challenges to include an obstacle course, a 12 mile foot march with gear, written and hands-on exams in helicopter insertion techniques, pathfinder operations, sling load operations as well as rappelling from buildings, cliffs and helicopters.

Brig. Gen. Dennis Doyle, Commanding General for PRMC and Tripler along with Command Sgt. Maj. Robert Luciano, Command Sgt. Maj. for PRMC and Tripler encourage the reality that all Medical Command (MEDCOM) personnel wearing the uniform are Soldiers first.

Luciano says the PRMC leadership team is committed to building warriors. "Wherever our combat arms and support brethren may go, medical Soldiers are needed to care for them. This care starts at the point of injury, thus schools like Air Assault that promote shared training and shared success are beneficial to the entire military."
