Brian Britton was an exemplary Trooper from the moment he enlisted with the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. He graduated from boot-camp at the top of his class, and was named Honor Graduate. He then went on to the Training Unit in First Battalion, where he exceeded expectations, and transferred into Charlie Company as a Combat Engineer. After returning from his first ELOA, he was motivated to try new things, and attended his first onslaught of operations for which he participated in with valor. When he re-enlisted, he made it crystal clear that he wished to participate in more things around the Cav than just Arma 3, and volunteered to join the newly formed War Thunder Starter Platoon. He soon became a great and well known leader in War Thunder, and volunteered to lead some of the section practices therein. It was noted that through the course of War Thunder's Starter Platoon, the section practice’s under his leadership were well known as "The Battles of Britton" and thus, Britton earned the nickname "Britain" from his fellow Cav brethren. When the War Thunder Starter Platoon was going to shut down, Britton once again went to participate in all the 7th Cavalry events and games that he could, along with their public servers, and went out of his way to attend a section practice in all the Cav supported games. Brian Britton is quoted for saying "The Hell Let Loose Community is the greatest Community I've ever seen, and that is where I want to be." when asked why he wanted to transfer out of the Starter Platoon. Brian Britton went on to be a highly active, enthusiastic trooper in the Hell Let Loose AO, attending operations, section practices, making and maintaining friendships with all around him, and willfully participating in the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment outside of his AO, until his sudden and tragic death on September 2nd, 2020. In honor of Corporal Brian Britton, the entire Hell Let Loose AO gathered to pay their respects to him, organizing a ceremony with full honors in his name at the Church of St. Mere Eglise.
