Indeed. I remember the 2005 Nias Island Sea King crash of a Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Sea King helicopter that includes someone I went through officer training with: FLTLT Lynne Rowbottom.

This accident got me thinking last night of the handful of people I knew who died while serving in the Army - all in training and suicide. I also once flew in a Sea King (Shark 07) with Lt Paul Kimlin in the Persian Gulf, he was the pilot lost at Nias
Yep. Working on a flight-line, or a firing-line, and many other places (fishing boat, oil rig, and so on), will teach a person discipline. I've seen three deaths in training, none in a working fire, and of course (because I wasn't a combat troop) none there.
Captain Danniel Lyon, Lieutenant Maxwell Nugent, Warrant Officer Class Two Joseph Laycock and Corporal Alexander Naggs were on board the MRH90 helicopter that ditched into the ocean during a training exercise as part of Exercise Talisman Sabre.
