Specialist Kuchmek (Coochy)

This was the go-to guy of the team when I first reached Korea, and though he is stationed back in the states again now, he will always remind me of my uncle. He was always funny in a way only he could be, like when he would come up to pretend to tell me something only I was meant to hear when SSG Derby was right there asking me questions. In a persuasive tone and a smile with one hand mock blocking his mouth from being seen by SSG Derby, "Hey, Cargin. Why don't you tell him something he doesn't want to hear! Yeah. You should do that" He is 35 and he was in and out of the Army a time ago before he enlisted once more later on. He was the driver of the HMMWV before me, and I really warmed up to him a lot more than he did me. I knew a part of him half as well as I would have liked, and liked him twice as much as I should have.
