His call sign is "Pepper".

Before the war, he worked in the restaurant industry: he started as a waiter, later became a bartender, tried his hand in the kitchen and rose to become a manager. Working with people, responsibility and constant movement — all this formed the habit of quick reaction and keeping pace.
When he received the summons, he did not delay — he immediately went to the Military Commissariat. This is how his journey in the 41st brigade began.
The first stages are training and adaptation to a new rhythm. But the experience of civilian work helped to quickly join the process and find my place in the team.
Next - work in different directions together with my peers. That's where trust comes in. When you understand people around you without unnecessary words and know that everyone will do their part.
He recalls the periods when the team worked harmoniously and calmly as a single unit. In such moments, a feeling of confidence appears - you are in your place, there are those you can rely on.
There were different situations, but after recovery, he returned to his own. He says that it is natural for him to be where his team is.
"If not us, then who?" - he says.
And he says it as if the answer is obvious.
Today, he and his brothers continue to complete the tasks. Calmly, harmoniously, without unnecessary noise - they just do their work.
Everyone here has their own path - different experiences, different stories.
But at some point it all comes together as one team.
And then a simple understanding comes: you are not here by chance.
