 After the charge, the non-commissioned officer, please raise your right hand and repeat after me. Over 150 soldiers raised their right hand and recited the charge of the non-commissioned officer. The final act at their Warrior Leadership Course graduation. WLC is an entry level course designed for E4 and E5s to develop into becoming a non-commissioned officer. What makes this course different is the environment. Soldiers had the opportunity to stay here on Camp Bonstel in Kosovo to take the course. Some of the soldiers, however, were unsure about how it would go while deployed. Well, at first I was extremely hesitant. I didn't know how this was going to interfere with my duties here. This is a deployed environment so it's not something I felt that I could manage both at the same time. Fortunately, it worked out really well. I was extremely happy to have the opportunity to conduct WLC here. Instructors from the 7th Army Non-Commissioned Officer Academy came to Bonstel and helped make the course possible. Small group leader Staff Sergeant Michael Hudgens says this opportunity is important for deployed soldiers. When you have the resources available, i.e. here at Camp Bonstel, and we're not too far, we're located in Grafenvere, Germany, but just based on availability, the classrooms and other resources available, these soldiers may not have the opportunity to attend this course once they return stateside, so I feel that that's very important to get them through the training in this type of environment when the resources are available. Special guests, United States Army Europe Command Sergeant Major David Davenport, in commandant of the 7th Army NCOA, Command Sergeant Major Jimmy Sellers, congratulated each soldier and thanked the instructors for their hard work.
