In training, they must be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their Soldiers and make modifications so that those Soldiers can learn from their mistakes and grow. As NCOs advance in their careers, they realize that with rapidly changing technology they need computer and network capabilities to keep Soldiers smart, helping them to understand the new technology.
Buddle, a native of Panama, said he planned on being in the military for two years, but ended up making it a career because of job satisfaction. He said that his family supported his decision.

You are in a hierarchical organization, which means that everyone with less rank than you is looking to you for leadership, and everyone of higher rank is expecting you to provide it. We support our leadership and we support our subordinates. Our roles and responsibilities will vary widely for many different reasons, depending on rank and the level at which we are leading.
We must recognize this as we progress and adapt to our evolving roles. In a nutshell, NCOs facilitate open and honest communications within the command, with a goal to ensure that the command excels in meeting the Commander's vision, and achieving the mission.
Below are a number of roles and responsibilities that I believe remain constant throughout all levels of NCO leadership, although the approaches that the leader takes may change at the various levels. Preparing Soldiers for Military Operations. Preparing our Soldiers for military operations encompasses education, training, experience, and self-development.
In any Army, NCOs serve as the focal point for setting and maintaining Soldiers' skills, fitness levels, and professionalism. Individual training and education is our bread and butter. Leading people versus leading the institution. At the tactical level of operations we are involved in direct leadership on a daily basis, yet have minimal impact on the organization as a whole. As we move into the strategic level of operations the opposite is true, we guide and lead the institution but have much less daily interaction with the troops, although our actions have a great influence on them indirectly.
NCOs serve as the principal advisor to Commanders and the Command Group on the formulation and implementation of proposed policy changes affecting personnel, with a particular focus on the well being of Soldiers, NCOs, civilian personnel, and their families.
This includes providing feedback to the Commander on all matters affecting personnel including subordinated organizations and operations.
Maintenance of Standards of Performance of Soldiers and Equipment. Never pass a fault, NCOs are scanners and they check and correct constantly. As a leader, your subordinates scrutinize everything you do. As you walk through the unit lines, make no doubt that you are being observed. You are regularly a training event for the Soldiers and Officers of your unit. Never teach a bad lesson. Discipline is the cornerstone of a professional military.
Taking care of people sometimes means tough love and discipline. As you prepare to cross the threshold and be formally introduced as a noncommissioned officer there is no turning back.
You must remain rigid and sharp, proud with your head held high, always and able to live up to being a part of the backbone of the Army. The inductees ranged in rank from newer NCOs, starting with corporal, and going all the way to a seasoned first sergeant.
This range of rank is a great representation of an NCO, always willing to stand beside their Soldiers. Steven Alston of the st Military Police Company and an inductee in the ceremony. Leadership is 24 hours a day.
