2022 Issue 4

On 10 November 2021, members of the 10th Mountain Division OSJA conducted the first annual “Gilmore Grinder.” The Gilmore Grinder is a “Hero Workout” designed by SFC Aaron Grubbs, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, to commemorate the service and sacrifice of Regimental CSM Cornell Gilmore. On 7 November 2003, the JAG Corps lost CSM Gilmore and CW5 Sharon Swartworth when enemy fire erupted on their transport helicopter, killing them both, as well as the four other Service members on board. The Gilmore Grinder Hero Workout is dedicated to the six fallen Service members and consists of six different exercises meant to represent each of the fallen warriors. In May 2022, the OSJA hopes to create a similar workout in memory of CW5 Swartworth.
