Spc. Nicholas Vidro, a member of the 7th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, returned recently from his deployment to Europe in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve. During this deployment, he leveraged his skills to lend public affairs expertise while supporting various Joint and Combined units operating in many locations, including: Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and the Baltic Region. This included titled missions such as Tobruq Legacy, Saber Guardian, Falcon’s Talon and Bayonet Shield as well as working closely with both civilian and military journalists of foreign nations. His celebrated accomplishments with the MPAD include receiving an Army Commendation Medal for public affairs support, being promoted to PFC, and receiving a waiver to be promoted to SPC in less than a year.
Spc. Vidro completed Advanced Individual Training at the Defense Information School at Ft. Meade, Md. where he attained the journalistic skills and adopted the Army mindset that would give him the confidence to accomplish future missions. While in AIT he aided and lead his peers in multiple ways from assisting them in assignments to helping incoming soldiers in-process to the unit. Prior to AIT, Spc. Vidro attended Basic Combat Training at Ft. Jackson, S.C. While there he helped distinguish his platoon in Drill and Ceremony as a squad leader through attention to detail and patience to teach.
Coming from a long line of military service, he decided he would continue that tradition of serving our country in the best way he could, telling the Army story. Spc. Vidro enlisted on May 10, 2016.
