 Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of Colonel Ray Gerber, commanding officer, 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group, Cam Hanson, Okinawa, Japan, welcome to the Relief and Appointment Ceremony. Today's ceremony is being executed by the Marines and Sailors of 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group. Since 1875, noncommissioned and staffed noncommissioned officers have cared the noncommissioned officer's sword as a symbol of their ability and prestige as enlisted leaders of the Marine Corps. The Sergeant Major, as a senior enlisted leader and advisor, is the keeper of traditions of his units. Today's emblematic passing of the sword about this signifies the transfer of this sacred trust from one Sergeant Major to another. From the command of the Marine Corps to Sergeant Major Adon F. Rhino, effective 1022 June 2021, you will stand relieved of your duties and responsibilities as Sergeant Major 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group, and you are directed to report to the commanding general, Marine Corps recruiting command for duty, signed David H. Berger, general, United States Marine Corps, command of the Marine Corps. Morning Sergeant, Sergeant Major Rhino, reporting to the old Sergeant Major. From command of the Marine Corps to Sergeant Major Aaron C. Collin, effective 1022 June 2021, you are directed to assume the duties and responsibilities as the Sergeant Major 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group, signed David H. Berger, general, United States Marine Corps, command of the Marine Corps. Morning Sergeant, Sergeant Major Collin, reporting to the new Sergeant Major. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I appreciate everybody taking their time out of their busy schedules to be here today. Let me say, my time with 3rd MEV, 3MIG, in the service of Camp Hanson Sergeant Major has probably been the highlight of my career thus far. I am very grateful for the opportunity that I've had to come out here to lead these Marines to work with some outstanding group commander and outstanding commanding general, you know, with 3rd MEV, and to work alongside some of the finest sergeants major, I believe, in the United States Marine Corps. It has been my privilege and honor and humble to have had the opportunity to serve with 3MV, with 3MIG, and as a Camp Hanson Sergeant Major. So thank you. Thank you for everything that you've done for the Marines of the MEV, the MEV, and Camp Hanson. As we did the sword exchange, very ceremonial nature, but I gotta tell you, I've got it from here, brother. Farewins to follow and seize to you and Tammy at Marine Corps Recruiting Command. I know you're just gonna knock it out of the park, as you always have. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the retirement of the colors and remain standing for the playing of Anchorage and Marines. Retirement colors.
