First I would like to send my condolences to the Dibble family!
Being in the military is very hard. You are stationed and deployed with people from 1-4 yrs at a time. You managed to cram a lifetime of memories and become great friends. When you lose a military member it is like losing a sibling. RIP JOSH DIBBLE! My Africa office buddy! We had a lot of fun in Africa. You will be missed!
