Recruiting Company First Sergeant at War

Abstract

This paper tells the story of my experience as the Cincinnati Recruiting Company First Sergeant during the attack on the World Trade Centers and Operation Enduring Freedom. The events covered are from 11 Sep 01 to 1 Jul 04 in Cincinnati, OH. The most exciting day in my Army career was the day I was promoted to First Sergeant. I never expected the country to be at war during first my tour nor did I expect such a challenge to achieve my assigned mission. My challenges included Future Soldiers not wanting to ship, parents refusing to talk with recruiters, and my Soldiers wanting to serve in combat with their friends.
