Awards: Sergeant Rank

After my garrison tour to Guantanamo Bay; I had the experience and promotion points to achieve the Rank. I was currently assigned to the 46th MP Company in Corunna MI, but took the promotion offer at the 76th MP Company in Taylor MI. Sergeants in MP units generally oversee a team of three to five soldiers (including themselves), responsible for keeping track of their training, making sure they have all necessary sensitive items and equipment needed for the mission. Sergeants are non-commissioned officers, the backbone of the army, the epitome of lead from the front.
