hey my name is sgt.schley, i went to basic training, airborne school and went to the rip w/ hoover and came to the 82nd together. my condolences go out to his family and his fiancee. he will forever remembered as probably the most polite and well mannered person i've ever known, always willing to go the extra mile for a friend. i remember times going texas road house and if someone didn't have money he was always the first one to speak up and offer to pay for them and if he didn't have money and you offered to help him it was nearly brain surgery getting him to accept a gift. he never hesistated to help out and always gave us rides in his jeep which he loved and had so many plans for it, he always talked about getting his lift kit and big tires for it but i'm rambling now... hey levi man you'll always be remembered love you bro
