Army Reserve Soldier presented with transportation brigade's "Soldier of the Quarter" award
Rapid Support senior NCO Sgt.1st Class Bruce Fairley, transportation specialist, waits for a competing Soldier to give an answer to a question about trust during the Quarterly Soldier and Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Boards at the 597th “Rapid Support” headquarters at Fort Eustis, Va. Competing Soldiers and NCOs, selected from among their peers at home, demonstrated their expertise in core competencies, such as leadership, training, and readiness; showcased broadening experiences, like unique assignments and college education; and proved their ability to embody the Army Values (Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage)– and the NCO and Soldier Creeds, as mentors and role models– pushing themselves and others to continuously train, educate, and improve as dedicated leaders.
