What makes Captain Garcia a Warrior
"Captain Garcia, in the past 2 years, has deployed 315 days, executing 142 sorties and 57 combat sorties; an incredible amount of flying with almost a flight everyday for solid 6 months in a 2 year period. Despite being an AEF warrior as a readiness flight commander, he oversees squadron training (15,432 flying and approximately 8,500 ground training events), unit deployment office, scheduling, and the tactics shop," Lt. Col. Glenn LeMasters, 93rd ARS commander, said.
