Passing of Mike Kalua
All,
Just a note to inform you that a geat friend and true american by the name of Mike Kalua has just passed away today.
Mike will surely be misssed by his wife Margie, his family and SF comrades and friends, and the hundreds of students that he put through the Special Forces SMRS communications course and through Robin Sage over the years.
I'm sure he is in a better place where we will all meet again one day! Here was on the 18E Committee while I waas at SWC. Great man that started out as a Veitnam Vet and worked as a Great member of the Regiment and Community.
Please keep his family in your daily prayers.
I for one will certainly miss him.
May God Bless him and keep him close! Amen!

I am truly sadden to hear this news. I remember Mike giving us shit during the course. Making fun of us shooting bow during the breaks. Teaching us bad words in Hawaiian. Tell us stories about the good ole days. To me that man was a legend and what I was joining as a new SF soldier.
May God carry you in the palm of his hand and care for you in the ever after. Go rest in peace.

The Echo class was sitting in the classroom getting our brief for Max Gain when one of the students wrenched forward yelling "nooo!" and started having a seizure on the floor. Cadre and students were moving around the guy trying to assess the situation and get him under control. Mr. Kalua's response? "God, I hope he's not on a three man team." LMAO. I'm gonna miss you brother. You were a great mentor. RIP
