CAMP CARROLL — Daegu- Newly promoted non-commissioned officers were honored at an induction ceremony at the Camp Carroll fitness center in Waegwan on May 8. Thirty-six newly promoted corporals and sergeants were welcomed to the ranks of the NCO Corps. The ceremony began with unit first sergeants lighting three candles. The three candles; one colored red for the hardness and valor of the NCO corps, another colored white for the purity of deed , thought and competence displayed by NCOs and the last candle was blue representing the vigilance, justice and truth that all NCOs stand for. At the ceremony, senior NCOs were called by their respective command sergeant s major to introduce each sponsored inductee. The senior NCOs called their sponsored inductee forward and stated their attributes and worthiness of induction into the time-honored NCO corps. The tradition of commemorating the passing of a Soldier into the ranks of the Non-Commissioned Officer corps can be traced to the Prussian Army of Fredrick the Great.
