Fort Bliss was his first duty station. He arrived at the post in April 2020 after completion of basic training and advanced individual training.
7 FORT DRUM, N.Y. (Dec. 21, 2020) Over the past few weeks, members of the Fort Drum community have been popping up on television screens across the North Country with messages of holiday cheer.
Among these groups, and perhaps not as familiar a name as the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade or the 10th Mountain Division Band, is the Fort Drum Sgt. Audie Murphy Club (SAMC).
Although its members are quite active in the community, it’s a military organization that even some Soldiers aren’t entirely knowledgeable about.
First Sgt. Raymond Huff was introduced to this prestigious club while serving as an instructor at the NCO Academy at Fort Rucker, Alabama.
