His career is marked by profound experiences, but a pivotal night in 2001 fundamentally shaped his life and mission. During routine shipboard training off Marine Corps Air Station New River, NC, Currin was the lead pilot of one of two CH-46E helicopters. Due to a ’12-second human error’ in the second aircraft, the helicopter crashed into the water, tragically killing three Marines, including Currin’s close friend and combat air crewman.
