In Corbin’s own words from one of his last posts on Instagram: “These last six months have been the best of my life. From the first day I walked in the classroom to the last, I was always excited to work with these guys and form a bond I will never forget. We had our ups and downs as a team and as individuals, but we overcame them and that made us all the better. Till the day I die I will call you guys my brothers and I will back you up anytime anywhere without question. I hope our paths will cross again. I love you guys and you all will do great things. To all of my brothers and sisters in the service, train hard, have fun and be safe. Be The Warrior”.
