| Command Sgt. Michael Windstead, the command sergeant major for the 1st Battalion, 143rd Field Artillery, speaks to the new noncommissioned officers of the 1103rd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion during their induction ceremony April 9. At the event, Winstead offered a few words of wisdom on being an NCO. "Respect is hard to earn and can easily be lost. Don't lose all the respect you've earned in your career with one bad action," said Winstead. |
