REENLISTMENTS

We continue to retain quality Soldiers in our Army through reenlistment.
With the start of the new fiscal year, more options became available to our Soldiers
and they immediately started taking advantage of them. Reenlistment in a combat zone
shows a great commitment to our nation and our Army – and the monetary bonuses are tax-free.
Although the money is a nice incentive, our Soldiers continue to reenlist because they believe in what they are doing
and want to be a part of something much larger than themselves. Our reenlistments this month
have occurred at a variety of places including Patrol Base Courage, the Al-Faw Palace, and Camp Liberty.
We congratulate and thank the 24 Soldiers and their families that have reenlisted in the past 30 days.

Sergeant First Class Reginald Porcher (B CO)
