“I am the Backbone of the United States Marine Corps, I am a Marine Noncommissioned Officer.” Our noncommissioned officers will never forget who they are or what they represent. NCO’s set the example and are entrusted to be the leader of Marines. NCOs are not only responsible for how they sustain the transformation, but for the Marines in their charge. This week we hear from Sgt. Darrel Pearcy on being a noncommissioned officer. Next week we will hear from 1stSgt. Benjamin Gibbons about SNCOs. #
