This event marks the last time I will formally take the oath. My current enlistment is now indefinite so I guess that means I am IN for the long haul. It is truly an honor to serve the People of the United States.

Thank you, David.
BTTT
‘Way to go David. There’s not a better career than one serving for many years in uniform. It is the most rewarding of experiences to reflect on as age and retirement takes over. The great feeling of leading and leaving an institution better than when you joined it is a source of self-esteem and comfort that exceeds all other forms; especially with regards to military service. Carry on...Well Done!
Gratz!
My honor, as well as my pleasure..
Well done,Sarge.IMHO,your next step is to get some lieutenant’s bars on you! ;-)
This was my first viewing of a re-enlistment ceremony and it was a great honor. Thank you for sharing this proud moment with all of us.
David, you and your men are a Blessing to our Nation. We thank you all for being there and keeping us safe. Unfortunately the naysayers get all the coverage. You are all in our prayers, as are all your loved ones. Our flag flies night an day for all our troops.
God Bless!
nah.. not in my career plans at this time.. but thanks
Sergeant Major of the Army IS in my career plans..
Thank you for your service, and thank you to your family too, for they also serve. As one who was raised in the Navy, I know the sacrifices and hardships that a military family must deal with. God bless you all. With sincere appreciation from this grateful American.
God bless you David, and thank you for your service to our country.
David,
Well done and a grateful nation thanks you and your brothers-in-arms for your service.
ALL OF YOU GET HOME SAFELY!!

Good Luck, Soldier! Git Some!
It takes real LOVE to do what you do!
May God Bless you and keep you safe always!
Congratulations and thank you!
You, sir, are my hero! I wish words could express my gratitude to you, and the other fine men (and women) who put it all on the line over there.
I am honored that you would even consider me to be on your “list” of heros! It is truly and honor to serve.
David
Thank You seems such a “small” statement compared to my overflowing feelings.
Without people like you, I would not be free to enjoy my life and family.
Please don’t reject the title of HERO. Many of us have bestowed it with great honor!
Congratulations.
The first SFC I ever met was a guy named Doug Miller.
Best of luck to you on your continuing career.
