The pic is also of somebody in the old chocolate chip DCUs worn in the first Gulf War...so I’m thinking the pic may be of the judge. If the pic is of Serna, it may have just been an older photo before he went to the Q course.

Are you kidding? This was a well-reported event when it happened. Serna’s a 20-year vet who escaped death 3 times. His remarkable story is very well known.

It had already been pointed out to me that the airborne soldier was the judge. I did miss that when reading post #1.

He’s also a Republican, although his judicial position is non-partisan. He switched from Democrat in 2014.

You know, I am guessing Serna actually fought his rescuer for the air pocket and won................

You know, I’m guessing you’re doing a little bit of projecting in your read of Serna’s character.

“Well known” does not equal vetted.

Like I said - I have seen plenty of posers.

I hope the judge got a DOD issued DD214 before making his decision

Those who have never felt fear and smelled cordite at the same time will never understand that brotherhood.

""I felt a hand come down and unfasten my seat belt and release my body armor. Sgt. Treber picked me up and moved me to a small pocket of air."

According to the Army, Treber determined the air pocket would not be sufficient for both soldiers. He left it for Serna to breath from and went to search for another pocket. He did not find one, and returned to Serna.

"Once he reemerged we attempted to open the door and hatches with no success," Serna said in his statement.

At that point, Serna blacked out. Treber, Sgt. Shawn Simmons, and Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey Rada Morales all drowned."
