There is no better way to conclude Annual Training than by recognizing the Soldiers who make the mission happen. As training wrapped up last week, we pinned our newest Chief Warrant Officer 2 Michelle Hartwell, who also happened to be celebrating a birthday! HHC then came together for a MWR lunch, with the command team stepping up to serve the meal. A perfect end to a great AT! 🏅🎂 🍽️

HHC's Readiness NCO SFC Lani Craig and 1SG Arthur Marino presided over a lighthearted recognition ceremony to highlight top performers during annual training. While we take our mission seriously, it is important to recognize the individuals and teams who go above and beyond.

As a 31B - Military Police, he deployed twice to Iraq and once to Honduras, demonstrating unwavering commitment and excellence in every mission.
