I remember a year when we had about a half dozen+ deaths in my Div. in 2 weeks. (Between bad driving and stupidity) Dumbassed things like standing behind a deuce as it backed against a building, using an APC to keep warm at night by having the engine run, driving a jeep darting in and out in between moving tanks that are creating dust clouds, smoking while transporting powder bags. This was the National Guard at AT, they weren’t in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. (Any wonder why I went into the AR?)

They are challenged daily to do a lot of dangerous stuff. From the article, it’s unclear what the four were doing when they were found ‘unresponsive.’

It’s difficult to say from the way the article has been written. These could be coincidences within the population or maybe just one or two of the deaths are out of the ordinary, but not all 11.

Wow sounds like y'all had some major safety issues. We had two major injuries in our bravo troop a couple years ago when two privates rolled a Humvee on a fuel run. Smashed up an LRAS good too. They had us taking a couple major safety classes and all sorts of pita restrictions and stuff for the next couple days. Dunno when you were in, but nowadays they take safety shit a bit too far. Safety first, common sense second!
