Change of Responsibility

Yesterday, the 1SG change-of-responsibility ceremony was held at Gauntlet Field. In a very emotional speech, 1SG Davis said his farewells and handed over the reigns to 1SG Shorey. 1SG Davis and Cynthia will be greatly missed by the Gunfighter family, and we wish them the best in their future en-devours. We are also very excited to welcome 1SG Shorey and his wife Veronica and their 2 children into the company.
