- Let us pray.

01:45.740 --> 01:49.790
Oh mighty God, this mission
recruits 10's of thousands

01:49.790 --> 01:53.060
of young Americans in a booming economy

01:53.060 --> 01:57.150
which we are grateful for,
is like mission impossible,

01:57.150 --> 02:00.170
but what oh God, is impossible to you?

02:00.170 --> 02:01.430
Nothing.

02:01.430 --> 02:04.090
So it is we ask your
blessing on the thousands

02:04.090 --> 02:07.950
of recruiters dispersed
across America today.

02:07.950 --> 02:10.340
Give them favor with school officials,

02:10.340 --> 02:14.120
religious leaders, coaches and families.

02:14.120 --> 02:17.870
Inspire each of us to be
like these honored today

02:17.870 --> 02:21.150
to tell the Army's story
and call to service

02:21.150 --> 02:24.400
the next generation of soldiers.

02:24.400 --> 02:27.680
May these young men and
women yet to swear an oath

02:27.680 --> 02:31.490
stand and be counted
for the cause of freedom

02:31.490 --> 02:35.440
and may we all be tried and
found true in your sight

02:35.440 --> 02:39.780
by praying your holy name
in this holy season, amen.

02:39.780 --> 02:41.280
- [Audience] Amen.

02:42.890 --> 02:43.840
- Please be seated.

02:47.550 --> 02:49.510
Ladies and gentlemen,
Command Sargent Major,

02:49.510 --> 02:53.326
Tabitha A Gallia, United States
Army, Recruiting Command.

02:53.326 --> 02:56.493
(audience applauding)

02:59.400 --> 03:01.490
- Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.

03:01.490 --> 03:04.410
On behalf of Major Gerone
Luth and our entire command,

03:04.410 --> 03:06.500
thank you for taking the
time out of your busy day

03:06.500 --> 03:08.840
to help the Army recognize USAREC's

03:08.840 --> 03:11.763
top station commanders
of second quarter, FY 19.

03:12.640 --> 03:16.130
The top 13 non-commissioned
officers being recognized today

03:16.130 --> 03:17.840
are some of the best and brightest

03:17.840 --> 03:20.697
NCO's in USAREC and our Army.

03:20.697 --> 03:23.540
The NCO's sitting in front
of you are responsible

03:23.540 --> 03:25.470
for leading and training our recruiters

03:25.470 --> 03:28.663
and future soldiers awaiting
entry into the Army.

03:29.580 --> 03:31.440
When asked what it means to be recognized

03:31.440 --> 03:34.703
by the Sargent Major of the
Army, a common theme emerged.

03:35.900 --> 03:38.610
It is an absolute honor,
but they would not be here

03:38.610 --> 03:41.830
without their soldiers
and their teammates.

03:41.830 --> 03:44.270
These senior non-commissioned
officers led their teams

03:44.270 --> 03:46.240
to over-achieve their quarterly goals

03:46.240 --> 03:51.240
with mission accomplishment
ranging from 175% to 400%.

03:51.640 --> 03:55.670
Overall, their teams
enlisted 210 new soldiers,

03:55.670 --> 03:58.670
24 new officers in the
medical and chaplain corps

03:58.670 --> 04:02.550
and in service recruited
387 new candidates

04:02.550 --> 04:06.460
to Special Operations Assessment
and selection courses.

04:06.460 --> 04:09.500
The skills they learned
before joining USAREC

04:09.500 --> 04:12.890
is why they were successful
recruiters and team leaders.

04:12.890 --> 04:15.410
But the skills they have
gained as station commanders

04:15.410 --> 04:17.520
are truly unequaled.

04:17.520 --> 04:19.220
They are some of the best communicators

04:19.220 --> 04:23.360
and dynamic leaders among our
non-commissioned officer corp.

04:23.360 --> 04:25.500
They are leading young
non-commissioned officers

04:25.500 --> 04:29.110
in an environment
foreign to most soldiers.

04:29.110 --> 04:31.210
Most are away from the flagpole.

04:31.210 --> 04:33.990
There are no commissaries, host exchanges,

04:33.990 --> 04:38.130
base housing or other services
soldiers are accustom to.

04:38.130 --> 04:40.700
Their offices are not on the Fort Braggs

04:40.700 --> 04:44.370
or the Fort Campbells, their
offices are in strip malls,

04:44.370 --> 04:47.870
coffee shops and even
their government vehicle.

04:47.870 --> 04:50.150
They and their peers are
responsible for recruiting

04:50.150 --> 04:55.100
young men and women in
over 44,000 zip codes

04:55.100 --> 04:58.160
across the country and the world.

04:58.160 --> 05:00.480
Every day they are building relationships

05:00.480 --> 05:04.610
with local businesses, high
schools and universities.

05:04.610 --> 05:07.530
They work diligently to
introduce and share our Army

05:07.530 --> 05:11.850
with our fellow Americans
one engagement at a time.

05:11.850 --> 05:14.550
They are the face of the
Army and in many places,

05:14.550 --> 05:18.140
they are the only soldiers
people will see in person.

05:18.140 --> 05:20.540
They are truly our ambassadors

05:20.540 --> 05:23.070
to the country we love so much.

05:23.070 --> 05:27.840
They are those that have
such a tireless work ethic,

05:27.840 --> 05:31.910
an unending drive and it
deserves to be recognized,

05:31.910 --> 05:35.590
for their commitment to our
great Army and our soldiers

05:35.590 --> 05:37.023
is truly unmatched.

05:38.040 --> 05:39.950
When a new soldier steps
into (audio cuts out)

05:39.950 --> 05:42.193
our nation, I ask you to stop,

05:43.120 --> 05:46.000
pause for a moment and think about,

05:46.000 --> 05:48.940
really think about what
it takes to get in there.

05:48.940 --> 05:51.950
We use the term, all volunteer force,

05:51.950 --> 05:54.300
but ladies and gentlemen, truthfully,

05:54.300 --> 05:56.930
it is the all-recruited force.

05:56.930 --> 05:59.980
You can't have Army
readiness without soldiers.

05:59.980 --> 06:03.270
You can't have national
security without a ready Army

06:03.270 --> 06:05.610
and it is USAREC's mission to recruit

06:05.610 --> 06:09.490
the best and brightest to
join the United States Army.

06:09.490 --> 06:12.510
Our station commanders are
integral to that mission

06:12.510 --> 06:14.743
and ultimately vital to national security.

06:15.830 --> 06:18.170
They are truly our hometown heroes

06:18.170 --> 06:20.420
and it is such an unbelievable honor

06:20.420 --> 06:21.713
to serve by their side.

06:23.070 --> 06:25.820
Compassion, passion,
standards and discipline

06:25.820 --> 06:30.330
is what we live and work by
and for all our teammates,

06:30.330 --> 06:31.590
put em in boots.

06:31.590 --> 06:33.038
Thank you.

06:33.038 --> 06:36.205
(audience applauding)

06:38.441 --> 06:39.980
- Thank you Sargent Major Gallia.

06:39.980 --> 06:41.720
Ladies and gentlemen,
Sargent Major of the Army,

06:41.720 --> 06:43.494
Daniel A. Daily.

06:43.494 --> 06:46.661
(audience applauding)

06:48.720 --> 06:51.350
- Well first of all, General Martin,

06:51.350 --> 06:53.960
sir and Ben Ferbino,
General Pheonix, thank you.

06:53.960 --> 06:55.270
Sir, thank you for being here.

06:55.270 --> 06:57.530
Of course, General Yee,
you're at all of these events

06:57.530 --> 06:58.500
which uh--

06:58.500 --> 06:59.430
(inaudible response)

06:59.430 --> 07:01.580
You're gonna get a gold star
on the SMA's office, sir

07:01.580 --> 07:02.500
for being here.

07:03.489 --> 07:04.340
But is is important.

07:04.340 --> 07:06.770
Why is it important for us to be here?

07:06.770 --> 07:09.810
Well you just heard Sargent
Major Gallia lay it out.

07:09.810 --> 07:11.910
These ladies and gentlemen over here

07:11.910 --> 07:14.760
are responsible for building
our Army, every single year.

07:15.600 --> 07:18.010
What they do is irreplaceable

07:18.010 --> 07:20.660
and what they do as a measure,

07:20.660 --> 07:22.150
that takes human intervention.

07:22.150 --> 07:24.650
There are some people that say that,

07:24.650 --> 07:26.930
hey, we could cut costs
and create efficiency

07:26.930 --> 07:28.730
by using technology of the day.

07:28.730 --> 07:31.760
You know, so many of America's
youth are on their iPhones

07:31.760 --> 07:33.184
and that's how they
connect with each other.

07:33.184 --> 07:35.540
Why can't we digitally recruit?

07:35.540 --> 07:37.860
And I think that that's a tool
we shouldn't shy away from.

07:37.860 --> 07:39.980
It's something that we have
to be cognizant of the fact

07:39.980 --> 07:41.600
that these young men and women do it,

07:41.600 --> 07:44.830
but this, ladies and gentlemen,
for the last 244 years,

07:44.830 --> 07:49.290
is a people organization and
it requires young men and women

07:49.290 --> 07:50.950
who have lived the life,

07:50.950 --> 07:52.440
who have served the cause,

07:52.440 --> 07:54.510
who have sacrificed on their own

07:54.510 --> 07:57.660
to go out and look a group
of people in the face,

07:57.660 --> 08:00.600
those group of people being
the mothers and fathers

08:00.600 --> 08:04.770
of America, look in their
eye and saying, trust me.

08:04.770 --> 08:07.450
I'm gonna make a better
woman or a better man

08:07.450 --> 08:09.060
out of your son or daughter

08:09.060 --> 08:10.650
and they're gonna be okay

08:10.650 --> 08:12.300
and they're gonna be better trained,

08:12.300 --> 08:14.500
better equipped and better capable

08:14.500 --> 08:16.720
than any other force in the world.

08:16.720 --> 08:18.300
And they're gonna get one
thing that most people

08:18.300 --> 08:20.570
in America won't get and the opportunity

08:20.570 --> 08:22.723
to call themselves an American soldier.

08:23.560 --> 08:26.250
That, ladies and gentlemen, can be written

08:26.250 --> 08:28.060
on an Internet web page,

08:28.060 --> 08:30.180
but it can only be communicated properly

08:30.180 --> 08:33.350
by a young man or woman
in hometown America.

08:33.350 --> 08:35.380
Many people in America will never know

08:35.380 --> 08:38.560
what a soldier's like or who
they are or ever talk to em

08:38.560 --> 08:41.450
and at many times in
these hometown Americas,

08:41.450 --> 08:43.870
the little towns out there
all across our nation,

08:43.870 --> 08:46.420
this is the only exposure they get.

08:46.420 --> 08:47.820
That recruiting station many times,

08:47.820 --> 08:49.800
is just like the general
store or the hardware store

08:49.800 --> 08:51.640
or the convenience store in that town

08:51.640 --> 08:53.390
and the responsibility
that falls on the weight

08:53.390 --> 08:56.150
of these young men and
women over here is immense.

08:56.150 --> 08:58.556
They have to establish a sense of trust

08:58.556 --> 09:02.330
and a culture of acceptance
inside those small communities

09:02.330 --> 09:05.050
and then they have to work tirelessly

09:05.050 --> 09:07.580
to get inside the organizations
to build that trust,

09:07.580 --> 09:11.500
to sustain that trust
because there are hazards

09:11.500 --> 09:12.680
of our chosen profession.

09:12.680 --> 09:15.100
American people are
fully cognizant of that,

09:15.100 --> 09:17.800
but their job is to communicate
much greater than that,

09:17.800 --> 09:20.440
what we're gonna do, what
we're gonna do to achieve

09:20.440 --> 09:23.410
what every mother and
father in America wants

09:23.410 --> 09:26.640
and that is a little bit
better chance than they had

09:26.640 --> 09:29.280
when they grew up, the
shot at the American dream

09:29.280 --> 09:31.100
and it's their job to convince them

09:31.100 --> 09:34.200
that their son or daughter
has a clear path to that

09:34.200 --> 09:36.550
in service in the United States Army.

09:36.550 --> 09:37.747
So the feat that you've done this year,

09:37.747 --> 09:40.380
and what you will continue to do,

09:40.380 --> 09:42.280
and what your recruiters do for you

09:42.280 --> 09:44.663
in your hometown stations,
is irreplaceable.

09:45.497 --> 09:47.230
On behalf of myself, the chief of staff

09:47.230 --> 09:49.830
and the Secretary of the
Army, I want to thank you.

09:49.830 --> 09:51.810
And as the Sargent Major of the Army,

09:51.810 --> 09:53.650
I want to thank you tremendously

09:53.650 --> 09:56.050
for the work you do every single day

09:56.050 --> 09:57.570
on convincing these young men and women

09:57.570 --> 09:59.160
that this is the right thing to do

09:59.160 --> 10:00.660
and ensuring their mothers and fathers

10:00.660 --> 10:02.310
that we're gonna take care of em.

10:03.710 --> 10:05.220
I'd ask you that, next
year you're gonna have to

10:05.220 --> 10:06.729
do it all again though, too, right?

10:06.729 --> 10:07.562
(audience laughing)

10:07.562 --> 10:08.670
That's right.

10:08.670 --> 10:10.230
But today is just a small recognition

10:10.230 --> 10:12.130
and if you ask every single one of them,

10:12.130 --> 10:13.230
they'll tell you it's not just them,

10:13.230 --> 10:15.130
there's a team of
non-commissioned officers

10:15.130 --> 10:16.750
every single day making those connections,

10:16.750 --> 10:19.420
getting on the phone,
going to high schools

10:19.420 --> 10:21.482
and out there in the communities trying to

10:21.482 --> 10:23.730
talk to these young men and women

10:23.730 --> 10:25.150
and they'll tell you,
every single one of them

10:25.150 --> 10:26.660
has got a recruiting story.

10:26.660 --> 10:28.470
Every single one of them has got a story

10:28.470 --> 10:31.120
of how they changed the life
and five to ten years later,

10:31.120 --> 10:33.610
someone they found them
somewhere in the Army

10:33.610 --> 10:34.970
or called them back up and say,

10:34.970 --> 10:37.073
hey, you made a difference for me.

10:37.073 --> 10:40.110
And they make those
differences every single day

10:40.110 --> 10:44.420
and we cannot replace a staff
sargent in hometown America

10:44.420 --> 10:47.570
to do the job that these men
and women do every single day.

10:47.570 --> 10:50.400
So let's give these, what
I call American heroes

10:50.400 --> 10:52.548
a big round of applause
for the hard work they do.

10:52.548 --> 10:55.715
(audience applauding)

10:58.653 --> 11:00.850
So we're gonna bring these
ladies and gentlemen up here

11:00.850 --> 11:03.090
and recognize them, but
I wouldn't be remissed

11:03.090 --> 11:04.750
and the chief would be very upset with me,

11:04.750 --> 11:06.740
he's not here today, but
if I didn't talk about

11:06.740 --> 11:08.040
this great new uniform, all right?

11:08.040 --> 11:11.730
So this is going to
revolutionize recruiting

11:11.730 --> 11:15.010
into the year 2020 and beyond, is it not?

11:15.010 --> 11:17.380
That's right, you're promotions all uh,

11:17.380 --> 11:19.080
require your head nod right there.

11:20.000 --> 11:22.655
But in all honesty, there's
a reason why we targeted

11:22.655 --> 11:25.370
USAREC to be the first ones
to receive this uniform.

11:25.370 --> 11:28.530
All right, it's because we
want to change the image

11:28.530 --> 11:31.440
of the American soldier
to one that is remembered

11:31.440 --> 11:33.580
of a time that this nation
came together collectively

11:33.580 --> 11:37.570
to do one thing, preserve the Constitution

11:37.570 --> 11:38.850
of the United States of America

11:38.850 --> 11:40.590
and its most recent historical time

11:40.590 --> 11:42.070
which was World War II.

11:42.070 --> 11:44.540
Millions of young men and
women donned this uniform

11:44.540 --> 11:47.010
in protection of what they believed in

11:47.010 --> 11:48.920
and we should not forget that

11:48.920 --> 11:50.800
and we're gonna honor
that great generation

11:50.800 --> 11:53.720
by showing them that there's
another greatest generation

11:53.720 --> 11:55.060
coming over the horizon right now

11:55.060 --> 11:56.940
that'll continue to protect this nation

11:56.940 --> 12:00.293
for years to come with this, what I call,

12:01.400 --> 12:03.640
time honored uniform that
will never go out of style,

12:03.640 --> 12:05.233
in my opinion, never will.

12:06.090 --> 12:08.900
But I'm excited to tell ya
that the Secretary of the Army

12:08.900 --> 12:12.060
has approved this uniform
and as early as next year,

12:12.060 --> 12:13.790
you'll see it roll out to the entire Army,

12:13.790 --> 12:15.460
but it's gonna go to our recruiters first,

12:15.460 --> 12:16.680
the place it needs to be.

12:16.680 --> 12:19.520
So where the hometown
Americas can see our soldiers

12:19.520 --> 12:22.953
in a historic uniform that I can tell you,

12:23.824 --> 12:25.120
when the first time I wore it,

12:25.120 --> 12:26.840
I got two compliments.

12:26.840 --> 12:29.700
One that was phenomenal
because it came from

12:29.700 --> 12:31.580
the Commandant and the Sargent
Major of the Marine Corp.

12:31.580 --> 12:34.010
They said, man, that really looks good.

12:34.010 --> 12:36.370
When you get that from
a Marine, that's uh,

12:36.370 --> 12:39.490
that's a tough act to follow, right?

12:39.490 --> 12:41.240
But the second one, as I walked around,

12:41.240 --> 12:43.440
while I was on the field and also

12:43.440 --> 12:45.170
throughout the football
game two years ago,

12:45.170 --> 12:46.480
the Army and Navy football game,

12:46.480 --> 12:48.833
people said, you look like a soldier.

12:49.960 --> 12:52.270
And at first, I thought they
were just talking about me,

12:52.270 --> 12:55.386
but they were really
talking about the uniform,

12:55.386 --> 12:56.330
but they were, all right?

12:56.330 --> 12:59.500
Because this uniform is
remembered in the eyes

12:59.500 --> 13:00.570
of the children and the grand children

13:00.570 --> 13:03.080
of that greatest generation
and that's the impact that

13:03.080 --> 13:04.680
that generation had on it.

13:04.680 --> 13:07.310
So why not capitalize
on that great legacy?

13:07.310 --> 13:09.930
So congratulations to the
award recipients today,

13:09.930 --> 13:11.090
but more importantly,

13:11.090 --> 13:12.850
great job on the work that
you're doing out there

13:12.850 --> 13:14.530
to recruit the next generation of soldiers

13:14.530 --> 13:16.160
for us here in the United States Army.

13:16.160 --> 13:18.500
We could not do this mission without you.

13:18.500 --> 13:19.670
Thank you for all you do.

13:19.670 --> 13:20.812
