Guest speaker Command Sgt. Maj. James E. Spencer, command sergeant major, 16th Sust. Bde., exhorts new non-commissioned officers to take their responsibilities seriously after an NCO induction ceremony at the Morale, Welfare and Recreation base complex at Contingency Operating Base Q-West, Iraq, May 16. "Simply being promoted does not make you a leader," Spencer said. "Leaders are professional Soldiers that know and exude Army values. You are the very first level of authority, training, discipline and leadership in your unit. You will lead from the front, set the example and never — I stress this — you will never ask your Soldiers to do anything that you have not already done or will not do yourself."
