Second Lt. Shannon McDonnell, platoon leader for 2nd
Summary
Second Lt. Shannon McDonnell, platoon leader for 2nd Platoon, Battery B, 5th Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment and the battalion’s only fire direction officer, proudly displays four destroyed patrol caps at Yakima Training Center in Central Washington State May 24. On May 23 she became the victim of a tradition in the community of Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, like the HIMAR, that involves taping new platoon leaders’ patrol caps to the backs of the rockets before a live fire, thereby destroying them and properly welcoming the new second lieutenants to the team.
