 On June 4th, 2023, the Ohio Army National Guard held a retirement ceremony for outgoing State Command Sergeant Major Sheldon Chambliss at Beatler Armory. Sergeant Major Chambliss served over 35 years as a soldier in both the active duty and the Army National Guard. I stand before you humbled, humbled that you thought your precious time was worthy of coming to my retirement ceremony. Our guest list included five retired Ohio Army National Guards, State Command Sergeant Major, as well as various leaders from both Ohio and Michigan. I imagine if there were a picture of military bearing in the dictionary would be his, because he just so represents that. The occasion closed out with a laugh, while during the singing of the Army song, a picture of young Command Sergeant Major Chambliss was put up on the video screen for everyone to see. Reporting for the 196th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment in Columbus, Ohio, I am Sergeant Carl Mason.
