Search-and-rescue crews are looking for seven Marines and four soldiers after an Army helicopter crashed late Tuesday during a routine night training exercise in the Florida Panhandle.
Eglin Air Force Base spokesman Andy Bourland told the Associated Press that the helicopter was reported missing at around 8:30 p.m. Central Time and crews found debris from the crash at around 2 a.m. Wednesday.
Bourland told "Fox & Friends" Wednesday morning that debris was found near the Navarre Bridge, which is located on a small strip of land between Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. He said that rescuers were having issues with fog and noted that the sun had not yet risen in that part of Florida. The area where the crash happened had been under a fog advisory Tuesday.

Not good.
Hoping for the best, but it just drives home that those who choose military service choose to risk themselves for others. In peace and war. At home and abroad.

Prayers Up for the families.
I went through something similar, back in the day; having to try to find survivors in the dark in the woods was one awful job. It was also a chopper crash and we lost our Commander, our S-1 and our S-4 in a heartbeat. Our 1SG survived it with two broken legs.
Worst. Day. Ever. :(
Again, Prayers Up for all involved.
