A Florida-based Special Forces Soldier died of his injures Sunday after a boating accident, according to a Wednesday release from 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne). SFC Thomas Robinett was injured in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Destin, Florida, the release said. His command is headquartered at nearby Eglin Air Force Base. “Rusty was a phenomenal father, husband, son, Soldier, and brother to many in the 7th Group,” COL Patrick Colloton, his group commander, said in the release. “He was one of our best.”He is survived by his wife and three children. “He was a part of our family, and will not be forgotten,” COL Colloton said. “I want to thank all of the members of the 7th Special Forces Group, U.S. Coast Guard, Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, and Florida Fish and Wildlife for their efforts to find and recover Rusty.” The incident is under investigation, according to the release.

and this from the same week....
I know accidents happen, but I believe a climate change (of command) may be in order at 7th SFGA. This is an every week thing down in Florida.
A Soldier with the Army’s 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) died in a car crash 20 Apr near Seattle, according to reports. SFC Angel Alverio was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Bothell, Washington, just north of Seattle. According to Northwest Florida Daily News, details about the crash were not immediately available from the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office. The crash remains under investigation.
