A NCO sign is displayed on a table with the noncommissioned officer candles and a gift of bread and brandy, beer and tobacco, and a glass of wine and tobacco on a plate during the Noncommissioned Officer Induction Ceremony in Boleslawiec, Poland, December 17, 2023. The parting gifts represented a right of passage, before one could be fully recognized as an NCO, he or she was required to stand four watches: one every four days. The NCO Induction Ceremony celebrates newly promoted members of the professional noncommissioned officer corps, showing the pride and tradition shared among its members. (U.S. Army photo by Pfc.
