Road to Sergeant Major

Abstract

In deciding the topic for this paper I found it a difficult decision to pick just one experience from my 26 year career. So, I decided to write about events that led to my eventual current assignment and promotion to Sergeant Major. Most of these events are centered around my deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom from October 2006 thru January 2008 to include pre-deployment operations at Fort Dix, NJ. I have not listed many specific incident or dates, but have listed some specific duties that gave me experience to succeed in my current position. I must admit that this was a position I was not prepared for.
