 Chief Warrant Officer to Lucas Penel loves to fly. It's something that I have a passion for. It's something he's done his entire life. I grew up flying my family's been flying and my dad's a flight instructor so it kind of was I guess in my blood first say. He doesn't just pilot any old aircraft though He flies the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. The type of support CW-2 Penel provides keeps the enemy at bay and soldiers safe. Our job is to provide quick and lethal decisive fires of all requests from the commandant as well as a presence in the area for any patrols or any operations. It's been a pleasure to be able to provide aerial security during convoy missions as well as close combat attacks during engagements that we're not forced to ban with the insertion.
