Empowering Our Troops: A Recruiter's Mission to Support Every Soldier
6/10/2024
Recruiters play a pivotal role in shaping the future of any organization. Within the military, they are Retention Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs), and their influence extends beyond just filling ranks. Retention NCOs are the frontline ambassadors of the armed forces, responsible for identifying, enlisting, and reenlisting the next generation of service members. This is where retention NCOs like Task Force Paxton and Pennsylvania National Guard's SSG Lisa Marie Duffy come in.
