Hard truth: a lot of people quietly hope you fail. Not always out of pure malice.

Sometimes it just makes them feel better about the risks they never took.

Your success can feel like a mirror that shows them what they avoided. When you fall short, it confirms the safer path they chose.

The reaction says more about their own regrets than it does about you. Keep going anyway.

Chief Warrant Officer 2 Deontre T. Huey, 34, of Killeen, Texas, killed August 12, 2026, when his AH-64E Apache attack helicopter crashed during a maintenance test flight near Salado, roughly 30 miles southeast of Fort Hood.

Huey’s path to the cockpit wasn’t a straight line. He entered the Army in February 2014 as a motor transport operator, working his way up through the ranks before earning his place as a Chief Warrant Officer and pilot with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 227th Aviation Regiment, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, a unit he’d called home since February 2022. A Killeen High School graduate, class of 2011, he was a hometown soldier serving at the post he grew up next to.

The Apache is, by the Army’s own description, the most advanced aerial fighting vehicle in the world, and flying it, even on a routine maintenance test flight, carries real and constant risk. Huey died doing the unglamorous, essential work that keeps every aircraft airworthy and every crew that flies it safe. His commanding general called the loss a tragedy felt throughout the entire formation and community. Killeen ISD said the world is better for having had him in it.
