Could this article be any more motivating?!

All women in the Army can use this as a source of motivation. As a female who lives by the rule of "No BS", I find it inspiring to read of SGM King's accomplishments and strict attention to detail. Hooah and congratulations to SGM King!
It is a great story...though it would be better if she had deployed. Tough to tell someone how it is "over there" when you haven't been.

Sep 23, 2009 12:14 PMCSM King is what every NCO should aspire to be. She has served to the best of her ability wherever she's been assigned, upholding standards and taking care of Soldiers. We often don't have a choice of where we serve or if we deploy. The fact she hasn't deployed does not take away from the fact she is a great leader.
She is a someone all NOCs (and officers) can look to for guidance and inspiration She is a SOLDIER and NCO!
