As you may know this year 2009, is the year the NCO. With this in mind I'm sending out this letter to all members of the Ohio Military Reserve Association. As the newly elected second vice president, it is my firm belief that this association if supported can get us through the upcoming and difficult times of new leadership
As an enlisted soldier from more than 40 years of service to my state and my country I have watched the NCO corps grow and grow, with better training more professionalism they are truly soldiers the 21st century. I know that we all share the burdens of unacknowledged service to our state and country, but is by no means reflects the true worth and respect for fellow service members on active duty in foreign countries. I firmly believe the new TO, when it is augmented will greatly becoming a tighter more organized unit.
The President of the Association has sent me an e-mail, requesting my ideas on how we can gain more active members and keep the lines of communication open. With this in mind I am suggesting that each battalion and each company senior NCO be named by its commanders as a representative to the members of his unit for the Association. This could be a command Sergeant Major, first Sergeant or platoon sergeant, as these men are the leaders and most likely to be in contact with them in a daily basis.
I hope to be seeing all of you at AT this year and I will be representing our association and be willing to sit and talk with all my comrades in arms about the challenges before us.
Respectfully:
CSM (r) Jerry Reynolds
2nd VP Association OHMRA
