 My position is important because as the first sergeant, I think I'm the first sergeant that soldiers look at. Soldiers are more willing to come to you with questions and they want to communicate, not just a yes or no, Roger move out. It's, hey, let's talk about this. Let's go over the reg. Let me show you why you can and can't do something. I was inspired to join the army first off of my dad, who served 20 years in the Navy. He was drafted for Vietnam. His devotion just to stay in and be in the military really wanted me to serve. Serving in today's army, it's a little bit more flexible than it was when I joined in 98. Everything was strict. NCOs were really stern with you. I wanted to be more of an approachable NCO. That's why I think in today's army, I can be more approachable.
