Sgt. Gregory Opoien can often be seen skating with Staff Sgt. Ben Nikkel, an acquaintance who used to skate with Opoien with before drills back in Minnesota. Opoien and Nikkel skate several times a week after work and Nikkel, battalion signal and communications manager with the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division, describes the best part of his deployment as "when your best friend's your roommate and he likes to skate and you're able to skate."
