My son went through SOPC, selection and the Q course with SSG Robert J. Miller. He said he did not know him well, but knew enough about him to say that he was a PT stud and a good guy. He will be missed. I grieve for his family and pray they find solace in his service and patriotic comittment. Rest in peace SSG Miller.
