Passing the color symbolizes the overwhelming relinquishment of responsibility and authority from the commander who then has the colors Command Sergeant Major has to target him with responsibility to authority that comes with this position.

Therefore, you are hereby appointed as the Command Sergeant Major of the federal committee as the Command of the East. Command Sergeant Major, Patsy, will now return the color to the non-commissioned officer in charge. Command Sergeant Major, under the distinguished guest, thanks for being a part of this day. And it truly is, it acknowledges, as I look around at the standard of the Sergeant Major, it acknowledges those who don't just appreciate the work that you've done. Those who are out here who have modeled what you are doing. And lead our army to a better place, so thank you. So today, it will be fair to recognize that outstanding work of Command Sergeant Major for back and forth. And we welcome Command Sergeant Major Alex Pote. Welcome to any more ceilings. But before we recognize our Command Sergeant Major, I want to acknowledge the family members. We just saw one, and I'm proud to learn there are more. There are many more. Online, I think we have the entire community of giving them Minnesota out. Give them Minnesota, so I have more cameras, but hello, give them Minnesota. Thanks, Paul. If it takes a village to raise a great Sergeant Major, that's what's happening. So, thank you so much. So I wanted to acknowledge the team that's your first supporting team for me at Long. She's online, that's the word statement. Command, job well done. Thank you. And of course, Mr. James, who was in the military as well. In the early 60s, he was part of the Navy. He was on the USS Exist. And during the early 60s, he helped defend us against the Soviet threat during the Dupontus Cross-Exit service. Remember, I'm not even Bravo. I know it's our major, but it's out. I'm Bravo, now 16th whiskey. But he's continued to be a part of our Army for the last 25 years as well. So, 40 years of service in one capacity or another to our Army, so. So, thank you, Morris, we appreciate that. Christopher, Jeremy, and Corn, and for those that didn't meet the sisters earlier, there's Kim and Christie and her brother Randy that are here supporting. So, we appreciate that. We've got a barn who's here. So, thank you. Great support leads to a great military member, so we do appreciate that. We also have his brother, Louis, who is here. So, thank you, Louis, for being here. Well, as well as my sister, we have Miss Lopez. Everyone who spent time in our Army, especially working with other militaries around the world, it immediately becomes fundamentally clear about what makes our Army the best in the world. Anyone know what makes our Army the best in the world? Anybody? NCOs. NCOs. I thought some might say you guys are pretty cool. But our NCOs, absolutely, if you've done assistance in other countries, you realize that it is our NCO that makes the difference. Because NCOs, they get things going. They operationalize standards, discipline, training, and leadership. NCOs, we talk about accountability all the time. NCOs are the culture of accountability. A accountability for themselves, and then instilling accountability in those who have it. Coman said, sorry, that your booker may not be the single reason for the best part of the world. Although she contributes significantly, absolutely. But she is certainly a great example of why our NCOs set us apart through the world of the military. She understands the mission, she communicates the standard, and spires the team, not just to meet the standard, but to succeed. And she gets the team there, not through fear of discipline, although she's more, and has been more than willing to use that time, because sometimes it's necessary. But gets there through education, shared understanding, and shared ownership. So two years ago, this is a concrete example, two years ago, when Coman and Sergeant Major Koch said, we must improve the readiness and the tactical efficiency of our soldiers. Coman and Sergeant Major Booker inspired what was Regional Health Command Atlantic, and then MRCPs to increase the competency in the individual critical tasks, ICTs, which we've heard repetitively since then, carried by Coman and Sergeant Major Booker. And she did that through realistic field training opportunities. She orchestrated two large-scale visual best-medics, which I would say were the best best-medic programs out there. She also conducted and oversaw two best leaders, as well as four EFOD competitions. And in doing so, she did just improve the readiness of those who participated as competitors. She improved the readiness of a cadre. And in doing so, the competitors of the cadre went back to their own relations and improved the readiness across the entire command to Sergeant Major Booker. She mentored up and down, as well as across. She provided guides to MTF commanders and NCO leadership in developing local solutions to close the gaps that were found in critical medical skill sets. She was critical in ensuring MRCPs was ready now and will remain ready for future. So you ensure that all of us in MRC's are not just health care professionals, not just providing care and care to the environment, but we are soldiers. And we are soldiers who are ready to be warriors when we call on our part of the mission. Okay. IntiOs are the backbone of our army. I'm going to take the anatomy analogy just a little further. IntiOs are the backbone. Command Sergeant Major Booker is that large L5 bergera. And most of you have some natural history. She is that large L5 bergera in which others are supported, enabling them and their organizations to stand. So Sergeant Major Booker, Command Sergeant Major Booker. MRC's, our army and our nation are thankful for what you have done over the past 30 years to ensure our army today is great. And the army of the future is medically proficient and combat-ready as well. Welcome to the house scenes. No pressure. Because you do have some very large size three shoes. They may be size three shoes, but they have tons of extra support and they are a dazzle like you would believe. But dazzle with commitment and motivation. We are confident in your experience and your commitment and your senior NCO know-how. We'll expand our command, expand on Command Sergeant Major Booker's efforts and further advance the readiness to cross this command. Thank you for your willingness to continue to lead our army. MRC's is an amazing team and MRC's thanks for being here today. We take care of each other, we take what we have and we make all the need to ensure that the mission is done. We find the balance. The balance when it's between health care and race, family and the mission today, we find the balance. Your task, Commander, is to ensure we build and sustain warriors. Warriors who are experts in their medical skillset with tactical proficiency and resilience to conserve the final strength and save lives in the face of adversity. It's a difficult task, but today's world is filled with uncertainty and unprecedented threats. Threats to freedom that so many seem to make for them. You have to make sure that MRC's is right now. Thank you. This is the side. Thank you. Joe, Senator Brunner. Chief, I've got a message for you, John. We're supposed to be here, but thank you to her. So, I'm here for now. I'm here to ask you this. Family, friends, guests, everybody in this room. Thank you so much for coming today and sharing this moment in person for our long virtual. Yes, I'm going to have to talk about my 700th time. I'll give you a minute or so if I'll watch you right now. I'm just joining my family and continuing to be one of the most rewarding and humbling times in my career. Little did I know that my future is under 30 years, serving in the United States Army and in my career as the man of the Army for the military as many as... Wow. That's where it's looking at. And I've kind of been in my career on a more humbling note. I am so blessed that I have so many leaders and peers in my life who have had an impact on my career. And I thank each and every one of them for their mentorship, their guidance. These great leaders who provided me the purpose, the direction, and the motivation that I need to be successful. Because you can't do it on your own. You think you can, but you really can't. You've got to have that push. I've tried hard to figure out thousand dollars to everyone. And so not to offend anyone. I've decided to narrow down just a few in the interest of the time. Thank you to all my executive assistants and drivers. Leo, Sal, Raywad. Oh my God. This is the team of gentlemen right there. Those are your future NCOs. Your job's not easy and you deserve the pad on the back. You manage my acting schedule as a man-time major. Especially when I have a little bit of OCD. But I can't thank you for your hard-working dedication. You're not the one to recognize that at all. Thank you for the many laughs and the good times we've had on the road. Each of you, if you need to do your own thing, each of you has made me a better person and a better manager. So best of luck if you turn it up. Thank you to the entire ARE staff. Wow, you're the one that did the job now. The continuity that holds the romance together about the CTA and I are about to move out of the circulation. Thank you for all your dedication and commitment. Thank you for all your support to me that you all provided. Thank you for your services as HR ladies, you rock. Thank you to all the dramatic man-time majors, leaders, soldiers, and civilians within MRCBs. What an awesome team of teams. You took a star major's readiness and training vision and you operationalized it. You trained and built the best. As our former man-time commander stated, if you want the best build-up, you did just that. And I can't believe you are now, because now we have tomorrow's medical warrior and a combat medal-ready force. Jones Lee. Ma'am, pop, put you down. First in surgery general. I was a cheerleader all along. It was a true honor and privilege to have the opportunity to serve with you and have you as my captain. Thank you for your mentorship and guidance. Our shares have kind of added together and the life-long friendship that we've ever had. Many, many TDIs, many, many NAMS, many, many airport experiences. You won't talk about those, but they will forever be in our mind. Many, many subway incidences. I wish you and Joe and your family all the best. As you conquer your new venture, our investment is truly, truly in the best hand. And I will watch from afar how you continue to move forward to our medical end of our school. And thank you, Joe. Thank you for all you've done for MRCP and now for our medicine. And Marissa and I, I thank you to have had both of you in my life. My favorite family and the first person. And so thank you on four days. Come on, come on and start. Thank you. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for keeping me focused, keeping me in line. And thank you for, uh, for all the wonderful validation. We say we challenge ourselves to do more than we thought possible. They challenged me. They made me that better than me. Jeremy, although our time has been short, I appreciate those discussions we have had, the ability to have a healthy debate on each of our own biases for readiness and training. That is what makes a team work well. We bring a new perspective on readiness and training for health care and stability. One that will ensure we have all our readiness for courses. It has been a true honor to have the opportunity to serve with you, sir, and Sarah. Sarah, you bring so much energy to the team. You're an age leadership, you're a president, all of our events that we've had so far is just good and short. Thank you for all that you've done for MRCP. You want to thank our family? Yeah, yeah. You got me, but, uh, thank you. My father and my mother and my mom, who was unable to travel was watching virtual. Hi, mom. My sisters and brothers, my nieces and nephews, my mom and my husband, and my three-step children, my husband was so gracious to let me be part of his life to give you four beautiful grandchildren. That's my, that's my, that's my friend, that's my grandchildren. You know, for many a grandmother, your support, love for me and my love for your career has been unconditional. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support and for sharing this day with me. Thank you all for my friend and family, my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, to make a trip to support me on this day. Truly it's a lot to have so much family support. The big thing that I need today though is to help me raise my daughter-in-law. Am I? Girl, you ought to get her to show up today for me. How old he is. Your love and support can't be going. I look forward to see your career grow in these adventures that mine has been to me. I promised that all the time that I have now, I won't visit you too often. Yes, but when I get bored at home, I run out of things to do or on the fish shop. So, just get ready for lunch. Grace, you're going to be my father. You're going to be my son-in-law. You're opening mom's feet back when I ventilate and yes, he does get the brunt of everything at home. That's helped tremendously these past three years. Thank you for your busy support and love. Now, are you ready? I don't know what the time is. It's going to be learning how to live and love together once again because, you know, the job only takes you about an hour. And sometimes I don't have everything going online. I love to write my speech. When I look back on the speech I wrote three years ago when I took the position and I wanted to know if I accomplished what I said that I was going to do was so relevant today as it was three years ago when I sat. Three years ago, we were so, we were so we know how to manage and we're so we know how to care for the people. Before we transitioned to memorizing these commandments, I took two comments from my remarks that I feel still bring true today. My first comment was, and that's what I said, but really who are we? The typical responses of medical doctors, etc. But really who are we? Think about it for a second. For I am a social. As a soldier, it is my responsibility to ensure that I fit, discipline, training ready to play at any minute's notice. These past three years, we were introduced to the ACFD. Now, if that didn't get you to fit discipline and training ready to play, you would really miss tomorrow. Because I must have done a lot to get you out of the ACF. What a bad. All that work. Maybe no one did, but that comment was, as a regional health humanitarian care major, one of my focus areas is ensuring that we continue to support the war fighters. Creating a medical ready force and continue to help us best. Creating a medical ready force to combat a strange discipline fit and ready to play tonight. I would now agree more that we are the ready now MRC did back home. Readyness and training has been at the forefront of what we did at MRCD. I said it three years ago, I'm going to say it again. It ain't going to change. We provide a soldier's training opportunities. See, he listed off from the competitions and everything else he did. He had to be airborne. We challenge our soldiers who want to make up hospital. These past three years, I've seen MRCDs at their best. Especially when we were challenged during COVID. Operation allies welcomed. Physicians at DHA. All our competitions were different. There are so many accomplishments I can list that MRCDs have achieved. And you here sitting here, you know what they are. Because it was you and your soldiers who were at the forefront of each and every one of those achievements. You did it. You made us. So today I want to leave knowing that I've done my job as a star major. That I provide to you the tools for me to be successful in the battlefield and to be an organization. And so as you all know, I don't need without being a few words of wisdom and guidance that I want you to remind you to put a YouTube watch in your thoughts and your words and speak daily. And we've heard a lot of these in the last few weeks. When we were at the whole army First of all, I had to fight that settler my desk every day to remind me of who I am. Leadership is not in your position, but in your actions. Leaders act. Take ownership of your duties and responsibilities. We've heard this one not even after we did this today. Leadership is not about you and your ego. It's about taking care of your team. When something goes well, it's your team. Not so well that too. When you have your tools back, they will follow. Leadership is not making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that you act last in your actions. They should be able to talk about you and your ego. They should be able to know that you're in there. Create that climate that I want to be a part of to help them understand the body, the purpose. Your souls want to have a sense of purpose. They want to be better. Enforce management and regulations that you're not going to be doing until now. The standard you qualify is the standard you hold. I want to tell you. Provide opportunities in general so that you go on the day without possible. To start by desiccating their training. Train yourself to survive on battle field. So that you can shoot, move, communicate, get in their game. Trust and empower your realistic core. They aren't bad more than organizations. They want to be valuable. You should have full scope of practice in the MTF. They want to be part of the medical team. If you can't trust them here in your MTF, how do you want to trust them then? And that is the president. I'll say it again. Sorry to hold you. I'm going to say it again wrong. Five years. I'm going to say it again wrong. First you have to hold me for the best we've got. I'm going to say it again wrong. I'm going to say it wrong the best. We have a purpose to work together for the last two years. So I know that you want to see the best we've got. I see as them who will continue to deliver a very valuable core. Medical soldiers are able to deliver combat-ready care. Just to love to you. As I step away today, I step into another venture, one that I am nervous about, but I decided to work. Thank you for allowing me to be your Commander in Chief of the Largest Multiverse MRC of that time. It was awesome serving with each of you. Ladies and gentlemen, don't be strong. Ready, set, and signing off the deck. Ladies and gentlemen, friends and those watching virtually, and most importantly, the medical ladies coming in to see. Thank you for your presence this morning and really, really making a difference. And those of you who are present that I've started, you've made the time to take the trip over here. Thank you so much. First of all, I would like to give all the glory and praise to my Lord and Savior for the opportunity to be standing here today. Before I continue on, I need to acknowledge this type of events doesn't happen overnight. It takes a lot of coordination, practice, and the team did a remarkable job. So I'll make sure you agree with my decision. Please come and see me after a few years. Thank you. Some of you are keeping 517. Some of you are Robertson. Some of you are Rola. Thank you so much for putting this event together. The call of God. You look amazing. Thank you. I'll ask, especially so, not last, I need to mention my team, Sartor, Klaas, Williamson, Salvatier, the P.A.L. team, and the Skatepark. Thank you so much. We're on the right track. When I'm ready, we'll find a forum for this event. I was the last. Thank you so much. Every time I saw your scenes, if I didn't do this, I would release right there. I was going back. Hopefully, they will take it. That's why I'm here with you. I'm going to be great and happy. Thank you. I wish you the best of you and your husband. And I hope the day is going to be better. All right. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time and coming over here. I hope to take you to Virginia and come to GRC. But that's okay. To my brother, Luis, thank you. There's nowhere to express how times you have been, how fast you're going to have been now, to go away, to a different location, and running out and taking care of my daughters to my son, back in Texas. Thank you so much, and I love you. To my children, Joseph, my B.S.E. for getting ready to go over here. They have made it back. They started her doctorate program. She's looking online. I already love you. Get back to work. I'm so proud to be your father and all the great things that you do. Thank you so much, and I love you. And the most important one, Household 6. Household 6. I love there's nowhere to express 27 years. I didn't know. She's a former medic. And she was my I don't know when I came so I came to that home and wanted to be a certain home. I needed a change in my life. I was in college for two years and I needed to find something to do. And I was working in KFC, so you will see five cents, but I got my business. Somebody asked a question like when did that five cents go to the home? I'll tell you. I was working in KFC for two years, single engineering, and I just saw that we did a cycle and I wanted to do something. And they brought me in. Alex, you're doing great for her in a teen enterprise and it was at the time I didn't know where she was at 425. She ran real good, right? And when we say that, I like thank you respectfully, but I will do something. And that's what I knew in the Army. I knew in the Army six years ago that I was able to really have the design and stuff, but in reality I wanted to be in the Army. But actually in the Army, when I was in the school, I knew English. I was in the Army speaking, obviously I got an accent. But I went to my first place and that's what I meant. She had a long period because after three weeks you do a face, and she was mad because I was there for three and I said, I'm going to come to you and look, we are here 27 years old. Thank you, my love, for caring for me, caring for our children moment of the hour. And on the other hand, she was getting permission as superintendent. And I got it, he expected me. And I was like, what did I do now? So I requested to be released at Texas with the first medical brigade with the four 60 first-layers people made at the time. And that's what we started and you, we are 27 years there together, serving together and moving forward for our next operations. I'm Logan and I'm a Google team and thank you, my love. This is the final mention of my parents that I don't hear with me. They're under arrest a couple of years ago, but I want to know if you hear my voice. Thank you for showing empathy if you really care sincerely. They can tell they can look at you sincerely and show me and always be okay with me and not forget what you promise. And I still think like that and I will continue to make it proud. That, thank you for showing me hard work. Thank you. It's a match word, it's a match word and a firm hand shake means that yes. Thank you and I love you and I miss you both. So how many of you are older? I know some of you are younger but she was the first time I was older. The 21st one was about 9, 9, I don't stand in class in 40 days. I have a lot of older times, about 16 years out of 27, and I still do not feel like it for the force that's out of it. I'm kind of on the basis of it. But thank you so much. Thank you for your mentorship. You have always been welcome to me even when I'm far. You find out that I was coming and you open your arms and put it on your hand and teach me and coach me and at times of all my years, yes, we need that. We might need something to do, guess what, I have a lot of respect for you and anybody because we also are together, we can learn from each other and I do learn from you because every single person I like to respond to. I will take anything from you and I will not bother you that much but check with you how you do it and as a mentor I wish you the best of you and your beautiful family the best. What is your starting process? I work around the building because I need to move my new teammates and to know where they have to go. I know that. I have not done it so I will continue on. You really start me all the time I have the opportunity to serve for my leader amazing senior leaders that have paid the way for army medicine and most importantly, our army and some are continuing to serve our new TSE. Real quick, a Bible verse in my mind says to who was this given, not to be required. It is very humbling and honor to be your medical race for every single day. For me this is not the end it is a way of life and that's how I've seen it and that's just me. That's just the way that I see my service. Whether this year or every day represents the power of the legacy of those who serve for us represents integrity and commitment for army progression and army battles. We have the immense responsibility of providing medical support on large-scale combat operations and military operations and to sustain our capital of every mission to take care of our soldiers, our families, and with our needs. Everybody, they deserve it we need that. There's no in between now we need to give our best. My audience, perfection is not a table but if you continue everything that we do, I didn't say perfect but excellence will continue and we will get better. But I know the generosity is I know me through the generosity is. To an extent the headquarters, yes I am in the open minds when we build the DCTO, the original power of all the facilities and responsibilities this command has in the choice. I was like, oh my god but now to get out of the child again. I'm excited and energized looking forward to serve General Randy and all of you every single one of you. It's our managers. We got the right time. I know in this command we got the right time the right capabilities and training platforms and many of the right people to do our mission. There aren't any missions deployed by and winning a nation's war. With that being said as the medical somebody will say let's get it done, let's get it to work. May God bless you all, our great nation. Bring out this full defeat. Very steady side of the neck. Ladies and gentlemen if there's time please rise if there's time for your own song. March along, sing our song Army of the free Count the brave Count the true Who have fought to victory We're the army and proud of army and proudly proclaim First to fight for the right And to build a nation's might And the army goes rolling along Proud of all we have done Fighting till the battle's won And the army goes rolling along And it's high high high The army's on its way Count off the day I'm strong For where we go You will always know That the army goes rolling along. Ladies and gentlemen this concludes today's ceremony. Please take a moment to wish your name to God.
