For the past four years, I have had the distinct honor and privilege of serving Dragon Soldiers as the 10th Regimental Command Sergeant Major. Time has a way of continuing to move forward in our everyday lives. And as much as I (and maybe others) would love to freeze time in place and enjoy precious moments forever, it is impossible.

Our Corps has seen growth through many programs designed to promote the readiness of the enlisted force; the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) NCO development guide has been published; and the five-year shortage issue of sergeants in the Chemical Corps has been resolved. Additionally, for the first time in the history ...
