Boats churned on the river\u2019s otherwise placid waters while a breeze whispered past on an almost movie-perfect summer morning.<\/p>\n<p>For U.S. Army Sgt. Raj Patel, that was a problem. The bridge crewmember with the 125th Multi-role Bridge Company, South Carolina Army National Guard, was on shore duty rather than on one of the unit\u2019s M30 Bridge Erection Boats used during waterborne bridging operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI especially like working with the boats,\u201d said Patel. \u201cTo be out there on the water, I just like it out there.
