Army Command Sgt. Maj. Eric C. Dostie (left), command sergeant major, U.S. Army Japan and I Corps (Forward), speaks with Army Staff Sgt. Jose M. Rivera (center), a Guayanda, Puerto Rico, native serving as a Patriot fire control enhanced operator/maintainer for 1st Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery Regiment, and Army Sgt. John M. Swanson, a Panama City, Fla., native serving as an air defense early warning system operator with the 1-1 ADA, May 8, 2015, at Kadena Air Base on the island of Okinawa, Japan. Since 2006, the 1-1 ADA (Patriot) "Snake Eyes" Battalion has provided short- and long-range air defense support for thousands of American and allied service members stationed on the island of Okinawa thanks to the Army's advanced Patriot Missile System. Dostie and Army Command Sgt. Maj. Bryant Lambert, command sergeant major, U.S. Army Pacific, visited troops stationed throughout Okinawa to learn more about their respective units' missions and capabilities while addressing topics most relevant to today's noncommissioned officers such as the Army's new master sergeant course, promotion points system and NCO evaluation reports.
