It's always a great day in the Army when you get to recognize one of your own and promote them to a rank of higher responsibility and trust.

From the moment SGT Brown came to 440th MDBS he carried himself as an NCO. He constantly maintained the knowledge, confidence, and perseverance of a leader that junior Soldiers WANT to follow. He makes every Soldier around him better and there couldn't be a better 92Y to help 440th inactivate.

Blood Runners... Out for Blood!

It's always a great day to recognize Soldiers for their hard work!

The 10 Soldiers seen here, plus two more, put forth a great deal of effort during Operation Allied Welcome. The days were long and the tasks changed depending on the ever evolving circumstances. These Soldiers had to utilize their training and ability to think critically to solve any problem that arose.

We are proud to call ourselves Bloodrunners! 🩸🏃🏽‍♂️🏃‍♀️

April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.

The Bloodrunners, along side our Noble Knight family, demonstrated our commitment to sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention over the past few days. There is no place for it in our organization or in our Army.

Bloodrunners... Out for Blood!

Reviresco… We are Noble Knights!

It was a great Army day for the Blood Runners this past Wednesday, 8 December 2021. Not only did CPL Matthew Rendon win the 528th Hospital Center NCO of the Month Board but he also conducted his reenlistment ceremony following the board proceedings. Blood Runner 6 was truly honored to conduct his oath of enlistment.

CPL Rendon is a phenomenal junior 68K NCO with great untapped potential. The Army is truly fortunate to be able to keep a dedicated and empathetic leader in its formation. Congratulations on both your wins!!!

Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans.

In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress -- at the urging of the veterans service organizations -- amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Today, on veteran’s days we are proud to be able to laterally appoint one of our most hard-working and intelligent blood runner, SPC David Ramirez and welcome him into the NCO Corps. He graduated at the top of his BLC Class, earning #3 overall. He was also the 2nd QTR Soldier of the Quarter winner for 528th Hospital Center.

We are looking forward to even greater things from you CPL Ramirez. Congratulations and welcome to the backbone corps!

"It is the Noncommissioned Officer to whom the Soldier first turns to when he/she needs information, counsel, or other help. Squad Leaders, Platoon Sergeants, and First Sergeants create the leadership environment in which today's Army concepts thrive or expire. The quality of the Noncommissioned Officer Corps determines in large measure the quality of the Army." - 4th SMA Leon L. Van Autreve
