If Mike had PCS'd from SFTG enroute to OCONUS and had not been awarded the SQI 'S' he was 'profiling' in that pic and he would undoubtedly be the first to admit it if he was still around.
As far as 'knowing' him, I only knew him superficially from his short time spent with us (I was in A/2-7th then) on Alamo Field teaching his instinctive combatives style of fighting. When it came to that, he was proverbially serious as a heart attack and harder than woodpecker lips, and we had nothing but respect for his fighting abilities.
May he rest in peace - and so it goes...
