A military career is still not recognized as a high-risk profession in Spain

As of this Sunday morning, the Spanish Army is in mourning following the death of one of its members at the CENAD "San Gregorio".

In memory of Spanish soldier from the BRI X, who died in an accident

The Spanish Army has announced that the deceased is a soldier identified by the initials F.J.G.J., who was assigned to the 10th Field Artillery Group (GACA X) of the Brigade "Guzmán el Bueno" X Brigade (BRI X). He died in an accident during a training exercise at the aforementioned training center, located in the province of Zaragoza.

On October 22, the Spanish Army reported the death of another member of the BRI X, which occurred due to an accident at the "Cerro Muriano" Base in Córdoba. The soldier who died in that incident was a member of the Signals Company of the Headquarters Battalion. His family requested that the Spanish Army remove his photograph, and as a result, the initial post announcing his death was deleted. Subsequently, the family also demanded that media outlets remove the deceased soldier's name, warning of potential legal action. This is likely the reason why the Spanish Army has not released the name or photograph of the soldier who died today—the second such loss from the same brigade in less than a month.

It is worth noting that a military career is still not recognized as a "high-risk" profession in Spain, a fact that is difficult to comprehend, especially considering that artists do receive this designation, which includes benefits such as the option for early retirement.

My deepest condolences go out to the family and comrades of the fallen soldier. Grant him, O Lord, eternal rest, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
