The NCOs are indeed the ones who get the job done. I was a SFC E-7, when I accepted a Direct Commission to Captain. I thought about it for a while. Pay level won out. I had to leave active duty to finish my BA, and MS. The NCO leaders need a shot at getting their education finished. I am proud of the current crop of NCOs that continue to lead our troops.

I never once forgot that the credit for a missiom accomplished was due to the leadership of the NCOs who provided the hands on leadership and my duty was to step forward to accept full credit for all failures. I am proud to say my NCos never let our missions fail. The bond between Warrant Officers and there NCOs is very strong. as we have walked in there combat boots and know they are without equal and serve as the backbone of any military unit. As a former SFC I wish to thank you for everything you do, often with little credit where credit is due. Todays NCOs set the gold standard for leadership and I am proud of those who have replaced me in the long gray line.
