A Chance to Wear the Diamond

Abstract

When a Soldier gets an opportunity to achieve a professional goal, it can at times place a Soldier in a personal dilemma of choosing between his Soldiers or accomplishing a professional feat. This is not just a normal feat, but also that of a First Sergeant in a combat zone at the Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq, one of the highest levels of command in Iraq. To add to the dilemma the Soldier must relinquish a solid leadership position, and carry the reputation of another highly visible command, Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-Arabian Peninsula to perform at the next level with an end state of opening doors for others to follow.
