Fresh from her R&R leave, SPC(P) Roshonda Thurston walked into the press conference room at the Combined Press Information Center thinking it was a supply issue that needed her expertise. Instead, she found a room full of her fellow 314th PAOC Soldiers ready to celebrate her promotion to SGT.
MAJ James Lincoln, Acting Commander (and CPIC Director), officiated the ceremony and reminded the group about the role she played, from being a last minute addition to the team to the supply sergeant responsbile for bringing all our Soldiers and equipment home to the United States (no pressure, huh?).
Congratulations SGT Thurston….job well done!

Finally it is time for the 314th Soldiers to share in the excitement -- and SSG Tull almost tackles SGT Thurston to show his joy. (All photos by SPC Brittany Gardner)
