This morning at the Army Aviation Museum, the chapter VP for Enlisted Affairs, Sergeant First Class Joshua Layne (left) presented two fine NCOs with chapter Certificates of Achievement and complimentary memberships. These two fine NCO's graduated the ALC and SLC CLass #26-005 as Leadership Award Honorees and for having appeared before a most arduous and discriminatory committee of tried and proven Army Aviation Non-Commissioned Officers, Sergeant Kyle Ellfesen (center) and Sergeant First Class Anthony Soboleski (right) were tested and found worthy of special recognition as Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Rucker Non-Commissioned Officer Academy Leadership Awardees.

The SLC award specifically is awarded in honor of Command Sergeant Major David L. Spears and the ALC award in honor of Sergeant First Class William T. Butts respectively.

AAAA Worldwide not only supports our Non-Commissioned Officers, but looks to firmly support all four pillars of AAAA for our Soldiers, NCO's, Officers, Civilians and their families.
