Sgt. 1st Class Javier R. Camacho-Acevedo promotion ceremony
Assigned to the Army Reserve Careers Division (ARCD), Human Resource Division, Camacho wife Denice penned him while their two sons, family members and ARCD staffed watched.
It is at this level, Sgt. 1st Class or Platoon Sgt. in which the term Senior NCO properly applies, therefore, ARCD Senior Enlisted Advisor, Command Sgt. Maj. Connie Commenia administered the NCO Charge to Sgt. 1st Class Camacho, which they both signed.
Generally, with 15 or more years of service, it is expected for the Sgt. 1st Class to embody all the traits of a leader and to bring their experience to bear in quick, accurate decisions that are in the best interest of the mission and the soldier.
With this in mind, Command Sgt. Maj. Commenia presented Camacho with a plaque of the NCO Creed and as she asked if he could quote the first line, which he did, every NCO in the room, along with prior NCOs who are now officer came to attention and in unison quoted the entire creed.
Am I not only smiling, but also feeling an awesome sense of pride for the Soldiers of the Army Reserve Careers Division and the United States Army!
