 A change of commander ceremony for Army recruitment took place in Brainerd today. During the ceremony, the outgoing commander hands the guide to the new commander who will take leadership of the soldiers. The military tradition includes physically passing the flag from one to the other representing a change in authority. Adam Rolick is the newest commanding officer in the Brainerd recruiting region. The Army has blessed me with so many opportunities. I'm a local to Minnesota, born and raised in St. Cloud and the Army has sent me back to northern Minnesota. I'm blessed with so many opportunities and now I get to share my experience up here. My recruiters are out there every day trying to share the Army experience and I'm just so blessed that I get to come back up north. The ceremony was held at Craigins Resort on Goal Lake.
