CHARLESTON, S.C. – Sgt. 1st Class James W. “Jay” Lamb, a Columbia, S.C. native, retired, June 30, from the South Carolina Army National Guard with 23 years of military service. His last assignment, which he held since July 2008, was with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 218th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade located in Charleston, S.C., where he was as an Intelligence sergeant.
His assignments include Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 151st Field Artillery Brigade, Sumter, S.C.; Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 218th Mechanized Heavy Separate Brigade (Mechanized), Newberry, S.C.; and Headquarters Service Company, 1 of the 151st Aviation Battalion, Eastover, S.C.
Lamb began his military career in 1987 when he enlisted as an Intelligence Analyst in the SCARNG. He served in Iraq from 2006-2007 with the 151st FA BDE, which was attached to the Headquarters of the 1st Cavalry Division. He was awarded his third Army Commendation Medal for his efforts as the division’s Field Artillery Intelligence non-commissioned officer in charge, as well as the division’s Order of the Combat Spur.
“There have been many Army mottos that I have lived over the years, but off all of them “Duty Above All” is my personal favorite,” said Lamb.
Lamb is currently employed as an armed nuclear security officer for the VC Summer Nuclear Plant in Jenkinsville, S.C. After 23 years, Lamb will retire as a master sergeant and plans on spending his drill weekends with his wife Cindy and participating in Civil War reenactments.
