Don’t forget the 1st Quarter Challenge started October 1.

Use the Map My Run app or similar fitness tracker. You may also take a picture of a fitness machine (like a treadmill) screen at the end of your workout as long as it shows the total miles. I will ask for your totals at the end of each month!!

Good luck!!!

Congratulation to SSG Selma Odoom on her promotion to Staff Sergeant and induction into the NCO Corps.

It might sound weird to do an NCO Induction for a Staff Sergeant but any NCO who has not
had an induction ceremony before will receive one on promotion along with a copy of the charge.

Congratulations to 1SG Eddie Levy on your promotion to Master Sergeant and lateral appointment to First Sergeant!

1SG Levy was promoted at a small private promotion ceremony (broadcast to the 1008th family on Zoom).

What is a First Sergeant?

A First Sergeant is a senior non-commissioned officer (NCO) in the United States Army. Soldiers holding this rank serve as the senior NCO in a company-sized unit, around 150 soldiers. First Sergeants serve as the senior enlisted advisor to the Company Commander.

They are recognized as the most tactically and technically competent as well as experienced NCO's in companies. Standing as the final NCO authority at the company level, they are the ultimate enforcers of standards and discipline as well as the final authority on all aspects of soldiering, including but not limited to tactics, techniques, procedures, and living as a member of the United States Army.

Congratulations to SGT A.j. Case on your promotion to Sergeant!

SGT Case was promoted at a small private promotion ceremony (broadcast to the 1008th family on Zoom). Immediately after the promotion ceremony SGT Case was inducted into the Corps of the Noncommissioned Officer.

“Outside of maybe General that rank you have on your chest is the most universally recognized rank in the world. Even people with no military experience know that rank means sergeant and sergeant means you’re a leader. That rank means gets results. Welcome to the NCO Corps.” -1SG Levy
