Greeley, Colo., native, Sgt. 1st Class Rocky Kunkel, an M1 armor crewman assigned to Company C of the 2nd “Stallion” Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st “Ironhorse” Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, cuts a cake with a saber during the Stallion’s mass reenlistment ceremony, Oct. 30, at Fort Hood, Texas. At 31, Kunkel was the oldest reenlistee who took the oath for a third time and continued his Army career of 10 years for a potential 16 more years. He said he has been in the military for so long, it just felt right. Initially, Kunkel joined the Army at age 21 in 2003 to provide for his family. “Reenlistment is a big part of thanking the spouses,” Kunkel said. “I couldn’t have done any of this without my wife.” (U.S. Army photo by Pfc.
