I consult sales System and Sales Management for a living; I say that to make this point...

When I got married, my best buddy was in the middle of a family crisis and living overseas, although I asked him to be best man, I just didn't have the heart to push the issue and have him fly half way around the world for the wedding. His life was falling apart around him.

So I was left with a problem, who should I have as a best man?

Then I thought to myself…
"Who's the best man I know?"

It was a no brainer…the Station Commander of the recruiting station I enlisted in.

I have NEVER, and I repeat, NEVER, seen a man tackle such an extremely difficult and thankless job, with a smile AND get mission...every...freakin....month. And remember I do that kinda stuff for a living.

SFC Darren Robinson personifies the NCO creed and is a significant reason why I am reenlisting.

When I really sat down and thought about it…the BS I saw him having to pull day-in and day-out…It is one of the few times in my life that I can think of were I have seen true character at work, that and my Father. Funny thing is my Father was a 20 year military man himself, no coincidence there I think.

Recruiting IS like a three year deployment (not that I've deployed, but you get my drift), next time you see a recruiter tell him thanks. Believe me he’s earned it.
