BISMARCK, N.D. - An Iraqi war Veteran with more than 40 years of military experience will relinquish his duties as the North Dakota National Guard's senior enlisted leader during a change of responsibility ceremony at the Raymond J. Bohn Armory in Bismarck. Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel Job will formerly hand-off duties to Chief Master Sgt. James Gibson at a ceremony scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 9. Job will retire after this assignment and will be honored for his military service as part of the ceremony.
Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk, North Dakota adjutant general, will preside over the change of responsibility ceremony, an important military tradition which formally and visually demonstrates the transfer of duties, responsibilities and authority between incoming and outgoing senior enlisted member of the unit.
As the senior enlisted leader, Gibson will serve as the chief enlisted advisor to the adjutant general, responsible for morale, welfare, discipline, performance, training, awards, recruiting, retention, equal opportunity, promotions, and assignments for the Soldiers and Airmen of the North Dakota National Guard.
Gibson lives in West Fargo, N.D., and enlisted in the North Dakota Air National Guard in 1980. He has served thirty-two years as a member of the 119th Security Forces Squadron and has participated in multiple operations and deployments. In his full-time Guard job, he is the chief of information protection, and serves as the Wing information protection program manager enforcing all operational and mission assurance aspects of the program.
A native of Linton, N.D., Job enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1972 before joining the N.D. Army National Guard in 1975. He's held key enlisted leadership positions with the 141st Engineer Battalion and the 164th Engineer Group. From 2003 to 2004, he served as the command sergeant major for the 142nd Engineer Battalion during the unit deployment to Iraq. He has served as the senior enlisted leader for NDNG since 2004. Job's civilian job is with Basic Electric Power Cooperative.
