BOSS Fair By SPC Torry Jennings Casey / Hovey BOSS started off the 3rd Annual BOSS Fair in style. BOSS offered everyone who attended free BBQ lunch, hotdogs, chips, soda, and ice cold water. After the Soldiers finished up with lunch they were asked to tell us what they wanted their BOSS program to do for them. They filled out a survey which in turn gave them a chance to spin the prize wheel and win anything from beach balls and frisbees to t-shirts and a $50 AAFES Gift Card. The fun didn’t stop there; AFN sounded off with top hit songs and interviewed the participants to help share their fun experience. Soldiers climbed up on the post and took a shot at the pugil stick game, while others tossed a few softballs at the target and slammed some of the BOSS members in the dunk tank. The event attracted about 350 “Casey Hovey BOSS Fair held this great event on 28 April to educate Soldiers about BOSS, what it has to offer and to advertise upcoming events”.
Soldiers Enlisted and Officers alike, once again BOSS Soldiers succeeded in spreading the word!

Quote of the Month By SPC Lakeisha Lowery Since we are deemed as Leaders! This quote is one of the most accurate that I’ve ever heard to represent leadership as it relates to Soldiering!
“The day Soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day that you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is failure of leadership.” - Colin Powell
Other quotes:
“Leadership is an action, not a position”
“Put your interest in the future, because you’re going to spend the rest of your life there.”
