“I get to push myself to my limits and see what I’m made of ... it's exactly kind of what I’ve been dreaming of.”
Since May 2025, @WANationalGuard Pfc. Dakota McConnell has completed Ranger School, Airborne School, Air Assault School, Rappel Master Course, Pathfinder Course and more. nationalguard.mil/News/News-…
“I’m burnt out. I’m beat up. I think I’m going to be done,” McConnell recalled thinking.
Then another opportunity would arrive.
“As they kept offering them, I just, you know what, why not? Another challenge,” McConnell said.

After more than six weeks supporting Department of Natural Resources, Washington National Guard aviation and hand crews concluded their wildfire fighting support mission dvidshub.net/news/574083/was…
As August comes to a close, Washington National Guard soldiers and airmen continue supporting wildfire response efforts across the state, while one of the Guard’s longest-running missions of the fire season comes to an end.
From operating through smoke, heat and challenging terrain to working in complex airspace alongside aircraft from multiple agencies, Guard aircrews, maintainers, fuelers and support personnel helped provide critical aviation capacity throughout a demanding wildfire season.
Washington National Guard soldiers and airmen continue supporting wildfire response efforts in central Washington, working alongside firefighting partners from the air and on the ground as operations reach 40 days of sustained support.
With favorable weather conditions, progress being made on fires and additional aviation capabilities available to support firefighting operations across the state, the Guard will begin adjusting its aviation footprint this weekend to match current mission requirements.
