Jim's Change of Command

Jim took command of HHB, 1-15 Field Artillery in Camp Hovey, Korea on July 9th. It was a nice little HOT ceremony. Here are the pictures:

Here I am, the "First Lady of the Battery" getting flowers during the ceremony while entertaining Joey. Jimmy is being entertained just behind us by the Battalion S1.
Jim gets big points for making no speech, just saying things "remain in effect". The NCOs sitting behind us cheering and clapped for his no-nonsense approach, not wanting to keep the soldiers out in the searing heat for any extra time.
Here is the new commander and his men!

Jim's little boys and his wife are very proud of everything he has done to get to this point, so have earned so much trust in his chain of command to be entrusted with the lives of these soldiers, way to go Jim!
