    She is also up to compete for NCO of the year too.

    Unbelievable turnaround she has made in the last 3-4 years, from baaaaarrely graduating highschool, all kinds of run-ins with LEOs, and now one of the most dedicated individuals I know.

    I tip my hat to her.

    Her accomplishment as Soldier of the Week is a big deal. She deserves lots of credit and praise for turning it around.

    Congratulations, Sis. Keep up the good work and thanks for serving.
