Chief Master Sergeant

SFC Roberts was a Platoon Sergeant for Headquarters and Headquarters Company 2nd Battalion 7th Infantry Mortar Platoon. SFC Roberts provided a great example of the Be, Know, and Do philosophy. I chose SFC Roberts due to the following traits that I would hope to emulate in my career. SFC Roberts was not a micro manager. As the platoon Sergeant he Develop his subordinate leaders by coaching them and mentoring them. He provided the guidance that junior leaders in developing them into senior NCO.…

so he was moderately short. He was in his twenties, which was younger than the other sergeants. He was a very arrogant drill sergeant. My dad says “He was not very tall, so he would only other people. He used his rank as leverage.” Franklin never taught anything, he only did drill and ceremony. He was irresponsible, and contradicted himself. One of my dad’s least favorite memories with a drill sergeant includes Franklin. It was the week of graduation, in time of have come down and stayed…

#5450, Officer Bluem #1003, Officer Baffigo #0706, Officer Carrillo #1645, Officer Winkler #9511 and Officer Sevesind #7791 arrived at our location to assist.

I was apologized to, from my platoon sergeant and the rest of the chain of command. My platoon sergeant briefly stated that he had made a major mistake on the actions that he had taken towards me and how he thought that I had accidentally shot him. He stated that his actions were inexcusable and would no longer jump to…

good,” screams Staff Sergeant Baker, “Real stinkin’ good, Guaman. Just take the easy way out and fucking die.” Recruit Guaman’s arms shake in the front leaning rest position over a puddle of his sweat on the quarterdeck. There’s nothing restful about that position. “Mountain climbers,” screams the drill instructor as his fists rest on his green duty belt, “in cadence, exercise: one-two-three.” Guaman limply lifts his left foot from the floor. The muscles in Staff Sergeant Baker’s square jaw…

The military definition of leadership is to make people accomplish the mission by providing purpose, direction, and motivation. That definition does not change regardless of the rank or position that you achieve. The venue or the scope of the operation might change, but the core fundamentals of leadership remain the same. When someone is recommended for the first promotion board, those NCOs are telling all of the board members that the individual can perform his job to standard or exceeds it.…

Major Jack Eric recently graduated from the Command and General Staff College and was assigned to 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss, Texas. There were no available key development jobs, so he would spend the next six to eight months in the division G3 shop. He did not mind the time on division staff. He thought it would be a good opportunity to prepare for an S3 or XO job when one opened in the subordinate brigades. The division was scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan in January and that would…

instill the same values in my Soldiers that MSG Howard instilled in me. I expect excellence and drive my Soldiers to that same ideal. I force myself to let go and allow my Soldiers to lead and grow all because of the lessons I learned as a young sergeant. I want my Soldiers to remember me as that NCO with the drive and ambition that led him to become an expert in his field. An NCO that wasn’t afraid to let go of the reigns and let his Soldiers have the opportunity to become that same leader.…

Reservist, and a Guardsman are a testament to his unwavering dedication to his country and the State of Kansas. SFC Lamb endured multiple deployments throughout his KSARNG career to include OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) as Squad Leader and Platoon Sergeant in Germany; and again with OEF in Afghanistan where he was a recipient of the Combat Action Badge while serving with Joint Task Force-PHOENIX in Kabul, Afghanistan. He used these deployments…
