I had Cadet Swain in my (A3) Falcons Platoon and I was his Post Residential Advisor. While he was at Ft. Stewart, he did great and was well liked and respected by his peers and staff alike. Please accept my heartfelt condolences in the loss of your beloved son.... he was my son too, while he was here and now during the Post Residential Phase....and I will truly miss him. God bless you and comfort you as only He can. I am praying for you and the family during this time and praying for God to hold you all in His precious arms until you are able to walk on your own once again. Prayers!
