Farewell to Warrant Officer (WO) Gábor KOROM

We bid farewell to WO Gábor KOROM (HUN-A), who has been a member of the EOD COE team since July 2022. Four years is a long time, especially in military service, where days are measured not in hours, but in shared challenges, successes, and mutual reliance. The EOD COE community gathered to say goodbye to a brother-in-arms who has not only been a pillar of our community for the past four years but has truly brought the future into our midst through his work at the Technology Branch of the NATO EOD COE. When we started working together, VR-based training seemed more like a distant vision. However, with his expertise and perseverance, he shaped this system into a tangible reality.

At the same time, we won't just miss Gábor in front of the monitors or in the office. His cheerful and outgoing personality brought so many memorable moments to all of us during our social event and sports activities.

Thank him for his professionalism and the comradely spirit that characterized your work every single day. EOD COE Director has awarded Master Sergeant Korom with the Commemorative Medal of the EOD COE for his 4 years of excellent service. We wish him great success, good health, and the best of military fortune in your new assignment.

At the event, we welcomed WO Zoltán Ferkó, who succeeded WO Korom and, following the handover, began his service at the Technology Department.
