The 66 recruits who attended the El Paso Recruiting Company’s Our Community Salutes ceremony at the Armed Forces Re-serve Center in El Paso on Saturday will enter the Army with a leg up on the other recruits they meet at boot camp.

They haven’t spent a day in the Army, but they’ve already received a load of advice from a command sergeant major.

“Make an honest commitment to your-self. Don’t go into basic training and just get by,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Thilo Hendricks, command sergeant major, 1st Armored Division and Fort Bliss rear de-tachment, who was a keynote speaker. “We can’t get by anymore. We have to have the best out there. Learn like a sponge. Absorb everything that the drill sergeants are going to teach you.”

This is the second year the company has held a ceremony to honor the company’s re-cruits and their family members, said Capt. Stephen Berryman, commander, El Paso Recruiting Company. The ceremony includ-ed guest speakers, lunch, music from the 1st Armored Division Band and a certifi cate of achievement presentation. In addition, the future Soldiers recited the Soldier’s Creed and sang the Army Song.

John Baily, president of the Association of the U.S. Army, Omar N. Bradley Chap-ter, and chief executive offi cer of Tigua Inc., told the recruits that as a businessman who hires people, he is always interested in hir-ing former Soldiers.

“Even if you come in and spent just four years in the military, when you come out of that, and you come to me looking for a job, I’m really interested in talking to you because I know that this person has dedi-cation,” Baily said. “They have skills and leadership. They can follow directions. More importantly, they can make decisions, so I’m looking for that person.”

As Hendricks presented the recruits with their certifi cates, he asked them about their military occupational specialty. They were varied – military police, infantry, human resources, small arms repair, artillery and

many more.Among the recruits were brothers Scot-

tie Groover, 18 and Dante Groover, 21, who leave for boot camp on the same day but go to different stations. Their family has a long history of military service, the brothers said, and Scottie will become a horizontal engineer, while Dante will work in human resources.

“It will be really great to see the world, live different places, be able to meet new, different kinds of people,” Scottie said.

Dante said he is mostly looking forward to the experience of boot camp and receiv-ing education benefi ts so he can continue with school.

Darrion Valdez, another recruit, has wanted to join the Army since he was as young as 5, and after four years of Junior Reserve Offi cers’ Training Corps in high school, was eager to enlist.

“I really enjoy the Army and I thought it

would be the best decision,” said Valdez, who will be a small arms repairer.

Isabelle Casillas, a recruit, said she has wanted to join the Army since she was a little girl. “My dad was Army, my grandpa was Army, my uncle – it’s just kind of in the family. I’d be fi fth generation of the Army, so it’s something I wanted to continue on,” she said.

Casillas will be an artillery cannon crew-member. “I like to be on my toes,” she said. “I like to be kept busy, and I feel like that’s going to keep me on my toes and wide awake.”

No matter what their MOS, however, Hendricks said he wants them to give it their all.

“Never accept no. Never accept second-rate work. Never accept defeat. You can never accept defeat when you wear this uniform. You have a badge of honor,” Hen-dricks said.

Members of Better Opportunities for Sin-gle Soldiers from different installations had the opportunity to take a trip to Washington, D.C., to assist Survivor Outreach Services staff and attend events in honor of Memorial Day from May 25 through 31 this year.

Soldiers submitted application packages for the chance to represent their installation. Pfc. Gavin Tomeny, Troop C, 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, the alternate BOSS representative for his unit, was Fort Bliss’ representative.

The main purpose of the trip was to help Survivor Outreach Services with Memorial

Day events, but the Soldiers also saw some of the sights. Tomeny spent the week visiting national monuments such as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to view the Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery.

Survivor Outreach Services is an offi cial Army program that supports the families of fallen Soldiers. BOSS Soldiers from instal-lations across the world, including Japan and Korea, accompanied survivors to the cem-etery to pay respects to the survivors’ loved ones.

One of the highlights of the trip for To-meny was visiting the Armed Forces Retire-ment Home, where he had the opportunity to serve veteran retirees lunch and share con-versation.

“It was awesome to get to meet and talk with the people that came before you,” To-meny said. “They loved talking with current service members, telling their stories and hearing ours.”

Tomeny learned a lot from spending time with the veterans.

“My biggest take away from this trip was hearing the stories from the World War II and Korean War survivors. It was like hear-ing it fi rsthand,” Tomeny said.

Although this trip was specifi cally geared toward Memorial Day, a large portion of BOSS events and trips are more recreational.

Being a part of BOSS can afford Soldiers with opportunities they might not otherwise get to experience. Many BOSS trips and

events cost much less for members.“Each unit’s BOSS program has a budget

for funding from the garrison that they use to pay for part of the trips,” Tomeny said. “This allows Soldiers to attend different trips at a lower rate than it would be if they were go-ing by themselves.”

Tomeny said the organization has multiple benefi ts for those who participate, saving money and meeting new people.

“It’s about getting out there to experience new things, meeting new people and fi nding things you otherwise would not have,” To-meny said.

The day had fi nally come. Our 11th, and last, military household goods move. The Navy’s fi nal retirement gift after 28 years of active-duty life.

The sun was up and burning bright when the truck brakes hissed outside our new house. Despite the fact that daily tempera-tures in Rhode Island had averaged in the 50s all month, the forecast was calling for a hot, humid day.

I glanced around at our empty house. The hardwood fl oors were clean and unscratched. The recently steam-cleaned rugs were perky and smelled faintly of vanilla. Our freshly-painted walls and trim gleamed smooth and fl awless.

After 23 years as a military spouse, I knew that by the end of the day, our house would be transformed into a war zone. I took in one last breath of calm, disinfectant-scented air, and walked outside, hoping I had the stamina to make it through one more move in.

On the porch, I heard a hacking cough followed by the crew leader, Bill. While the others fi nished morning smokes and busted chops in the street, Bill went over a huge stack of inventory sheets with me. He gave me the kind of glare that said, “You have way too much stuff, lady.”

The rest of the crew was a ragtag bunch. Stanley, Frank, Jose, Lou and a 22-year-old rookie they called Smarley. Over the course of the long day, I would get to know them all very well.

I spread the inventory sheets out on a fold-

ing table like a deck of cards, as the movers started hauling in boxes and yelling out in-ventory numbers from little orange stickers.

Frank was the talkative one, but ironically, the hardest to understand thanks to his thick Italian-Portuguese-Rhode Island accent. He mumbled something about music, and I soon heard Sinatra blaring from his portable speakers, “These little town blues, are melt-ing away!”

The music was a pacemaker, electrifying the process, keeping the rhythm of boxes pumping steadily in and out of our house. As the morning temperatures reached into the 80s, everyone followed the pace of Frank’s Rat Pack mixtape and fell into a sweaty rou-tine.

Bill made me feel culpable with every look, as Sinatra belted, “That’s amore.”

Stanley, a tall Nigerian immigrant, smiled cheerfully as Martin quipped, “Ain’t that a kick in the head.”

Jose worked tirelessly in silence, as “My Way” wailed.

Lou performed playful imitations of his coworkers, as “I’ve got you, under my skin” hummed.

Frank mumbled unintelligibly, as “Hey, mambo, mambo Italiano” boomed.

Smarley tried to avoid working, as “Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars” echoed in the eaves.

Mid-day, Francis arrived with lunch. As the crew munched deli sandwiches on our porch and swapped stories about slipped disks and reconstructed joints, Francis made a scene of carrying two cases of water from

our minivan — huffi ng, puffi ng and heaving dramatically as the crew looked on. “Nice work if you can get it, and you can get it if you try” blared.

In the afternoon, the sun hid mercifully behind a cloud, and a playlist of Luciano Pavarotti soothed. The respite gave the mov-ing crew the energy they needed to haul our huge armoire up through a second story win-dow. We all hoped that the miserable work would soon end.

And it did, just after 6 p.m. Each room of our house was piled high with little

cityscapes of cardboard skyscrapers. The formerly pristine walls and fl oors were scuffed and scattered with scraps of paper. I tried to not think about the endless unpack-ing to come, as I sat with Bill on the porch to sign the fi nal paperwork.

Sammy Davis, Jr., channeled my thoughts through Frank’s speakers, and crooned one last encouraging tune into the humid evening air.

“Yes, I can, suddenly, yes, I can,” he sang, right on cue.

You don’t have to wait until you’re an adult to become a leader. Twenty-nine students from all around El Paso spent a week devel-oping skills that would better prepare them to be leaders as an adult. � e Milam Youth Center held its annual Leadership Camp June 19 through 23 here.

Camp members spent four nights living in barracks, eating in on-post dining facili-ties, conducting charity work, navigating an obstacle course, using virtual simulators and participating in a leadership reaction course, all without assistance from their parents.

“Many of these kids have never been away from home, other than spending the night at a friend’s house,” said Cecilia Talavera, a child youth program assistant. “� ese chil-dren are spending an entire week living in the barracks with three people whom they are meeting for the � rst time, almost like a college dorm.”

Living together gave the students the op-portunity to make new friendships and work on their communication skills, which is vital in becoming an e� ective leader.

“� is is my � rst time at the camp and I like that I made new friends,” said Lauren Rem-pel, a 12-year-old student from Harmony School of Innovation.

Parents had the opportunity to visit their child at the end of the day before the children went to sleep, but only a few parents visited, Talavera said.

“Most of the parents chose not to visit their child to allow them to get the full experience of being independent and doing things on their own,” Talavera said.

Campers began the week assisting the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank. Camp-ers helped prepare meals to be delivered throughout the city.

� is gave the students the opportunity to give back to the community and practice sel� ess-service, Talavera said.

But that was just the beginning. Students had to put their mental and physical skills to

the test in some team-building exercises. Stu-dents were divided into teams and told they

would have to complete the nine-obstacle course as a team.

Teammates shouted encouraging words to one another throughout the course.

“It was great to see all the students work-ing together, supporting each other and get-ting through the course as a team,” said Ni-cole Timlin, a child youth program assistant.

At the end of the course, students had the opportunity to rappel o� a 40-foot tower. Many students were afraid to rappel from the tower, and this wasn’t a requirement, but more of an opportunity to face their fear and lead by example.

An air assault instructor from the Iron Training Detachment instructed the stu-dents on the procedures they would follow and then performed a live demonstration.

A child youth program assistant was the � rst to rappel down the tower, followed by the students.

“I had so much fun using the simulators, but I was looking forward to the rappel tow-er,” said Donaven Williams, a 12-year-old student from Canyon Hills Middle School. “I was a little scared, but I knew I could do it.”

Although all the students didn’t rappel down the tower, they learned some valuable lessons during the week about themselves and things they can work on individually.

“� e students made a lot of progress through the week. Some children were homesick the � rst night, but by the second night they had adjusted and made friends and were excited to get to the next day’s ac-tivities,” Timlin said.

At the end of the week Lt. Col. Michael Lo� us, assigned to 2nd Engineer Battalion, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Ar-mored Division, spoke with students about leadership and what it means to be a leader. He le� the students with these � nal words.

“Leaders must be willing to learn, follow and be willing to make sacri� ces for others,” Lo� us said.

Sgt. Nohemi Custer, an unmanned aerial vehicle operator assigned Troop A, 3rd Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Armored Division, is an example of what success can look like if you are determined enough to go after it.

When Custer was just 6 years old, her par-ents wanted a better life for her. Her father, Margarito Pacheco, moved the family to the U.S. from Juarez, Mexico, for work.

“I remember when we first came here, we didn’t have a place to live. We’d sleep in my father’s truck,” Custer said.

Custer’s father worked in agriculture dur-ing the week and played music at different venues at night and on the weekends for in-come.

“My father was offered a deal that if he worked for a set period of time, he would have the ability to become a United States citizen,” Custer said. “He really wanted to get me out of Juarez, so I would have a better chance at success.”

Custer graduated from Gadsden High School in Anthony, New Mexico, with a scholarship to attend New Mexico State Uni-versity in Las Cruces, N.M. She graduated from the university with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a bachelor’s degree in fi-nance. She also holds a Masters of Arts de-gree in economics.

“So I wouldn’t say I’m living my Ameri-can dream. I feel like I am living my father’s American dream that he worked so hard to get for me,” Custer said. “He wanted me to succeed, so even if he had to work day and night he did whatever it took to get me where I am today.”

Before she joined the military, Custer worked as an accountant. It was during this time she met her husband, who was enlisted in the Army.

“When I would go to different ceremonies, it hit home for me,” Custer said. “‘The Star- Spangled Banner’ would come on and just

make me think of how grateful and thankful I am to be here.”

When Custer and her husband were sta-tioned at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, she decided to join the military.

“I was going to join as an officer, but I felt it was more important to join as an enlisted Soldier. This way I can become a better lead-er one day - that understands my Soldiers,” Custer said.

Custer’s leadership has nothing but posi-tive comments about her.

“Sgt. Custer is a great example of how any person with the right will and motiva-tion can accomplish anything they set their mind to do, and to potentially be the best example of accomplishment ever seen when given the opportunity,” said Command Sgt. Maj. David Wick-Perez, command sergeant

major, 3rd Sqdn., 6th Cavalry Regt., CAB, 1st AD. “We are proud to have Sgt. Custer in our ‘Heavy Cav’ ranks.”

Custer has been in the Army for four years now. She was promoted to the rank of sergeant two years into her contract. In her fourth year of service, she was approved to go the staff sergeant promotion board.

“I’m just waiting to go to ALC (Advanced Leadership Course) in October this year, and I should be pinned right after that,” Custer said.

Now, she is deciding whether she wants to try to become a warrant officer or commis-sioned officer.

“I will go to ALC, make staff sergeant, and decide after that which path to choose,” Custer said.
