 My name is Warren Officer Courtney Lawrence, and I am the Assistant Director and Operations Officer for the Commandant's Own, the United States Marine Truman Bugle Corps. Throughout our 85-year history, there's only ever been 11 officers for the Commandant's Own. I am the first female officer to fill that role. A year ago, I was a Staff Sergeant in the Phonium section of the Horn Line. I was also the Horn Line Instructor, and we had a selection process to choose the next officer for the unit that included an interview and an audition of us conducting and rehearsing the unit. Once I was selected from that, I attended the Warren Officer Basic Course at the Basic School in Quantico, Virginia, after which I came back and assumed my new duties as the Operations Officer and one of our Assistant Directors for the unit. I'm excited to be able to lead in a different capacity throughout this unit. I've also been in the unit for 11 years, so I've had various responsibilities throughout my time here, and I'm excited to take on a new chapter in that journey.
