Virginia Guard Warrant Officer Recognition Ceremony
The Virginia National Guard welcomed six new warrant officers to the Army during a Warrant Officer Recognition Ceremony Oct. 22, 2011 at the 183rd Regiment, Regional Training Institute auditorium at Fort Pickett. Brig. Gen. William R. Phillips II, the Virginia National Guard Land Component Commander, was the guest speaker. Since warrant officers are apppointed at either a Federal Recognition Board, the Warrant Officer Candidate School at Fort Rucker, Ala., or a Regional Training Institute like Camp Atterbury, Ind., or Fort McClellan, Ala., this ceremony was the first chance for many family members to celebrate the Soldiers' transition to the warrant officer corps.
