On October 3, 29 members of Charlie Company, 2-158th Assault Helicopter Battalion, 16th Combat Aviation Brigade based at Joint Base Lewis McChord visited Albertsons Stadium to conduct an honorary military promotion ceremony for one of their own.

The service members, consisting of UH60M Blackhawk helicopter Pilots and Crew Chiefs, were in the Treasure Valley as part of a training exercise at Gowen Field.

The ceremony recognized the accomplishments and promotion of Sergeant Shawn Giffin from Louisville, KY. The ceremony was under the direction of Captain Colt Sterk, the Commander of Charlie Company. A native of Boise, CPT Sterk has served in the Army since 2017.

"Some of my fondest memories have been shared with my family right here at Albertsons Stadium," said CPT Sterk. "The BLUE is a special place and offered a very unique venue for a very important milestone in Sergeant Griffin's military career."
