Ria Phillips, from Saint Croix, Virgin Islands, during the U.S. Army Central Area Support Group Qatar Soldier of the Year and Non-commissioned Officer of the Year selection process at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, May 11. In June, the service members will travel to Camp Buehring, Kuwait, to compete for top USARCENT honors. "I always put my Soldiers to the test, so it's about time I do it myself too," said Phillips, prior to beginning the NCO of the Year selection process in Qatar. "I have learned that preparation involves much more than a study guide – you have to become confident about going through the different stages. I am avoiding minimum expectations by always trying to prepare for the next level."
